Chapter 396: Chapter 396: But I Can’t Leave Anymore

When the eldest Miss of the Chu Family spoke like this, everyone couldn’t help but lower their heads, cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and they ceased their discussions. She wasn’t wrong; just earlier, in an effort to appear more ladylike, they indeed hadn’t filled their stomachs.

Seeing that the Chu Family’s Miss and the young master had their attention stolen by the little Shopkeeper who seemed to have popped up out of nowhere, everyone felt a pang of unwillingness in their hearts. Thus, they all silently resolved to make the Shopkeeper lose face at the afternoon’s Flower Appreciation Society.

Wang Xiangxiang originally didn’t intend to pay attention, but she hadn’t expected someone to step forward and help her. She turned to Chu Huan with a sweet smile, "Thank you for speaking up for me."

"Sister, there’s no need to thank me; I was only telling the truth," Chu Huan responded with a smile. And seeing how her brother’s expression grew darker after the sister was badmouthed, she thought to herself that her brother seemed to care a lot about this sister. She found this sister very nice as well.

Seeing Chu Huan’s smile, Wang Xiangxiang was somewhat taken aback. It was an innocent and artless smile, pure and beautiful. She hadn’t expected the rascal to have such a cute and kind-hearted sister.

If it weren’t for the rascal’s involvement, perhaps she could have had a good relationship with Xiaoxiao, but alas...

Once everyone had finished their snacks, a maid spoke up, "Please follow me to the courtyard to continue with the Flower Appreciation Society."

Upon hearing this, everyone rose with an air of ladylike grace, walking in what they believed to be genteel, delicate steps, following the maid back to the courtyard to continue admiring the flowers.

Chu Huan, seeing that sister and brother both hadn’t moved, followed them out as well. She had to support her brother in dealing with those people in the yard, trying to keep them from bothering him as much as possible.

Wang Xiangxiang, still sitting there, simply didn’t want to squeeze through the crowd to go out; after all, she wasn’t there to appreciate the flowers.

But as everyone left, Wang Xiangxiang, who had eaten her fill, slowly got up. However, as soon as she did, she felt something wasn’t quite right. There’s a saying about the ’three urgencies,’ and how was it that the need to urinate came so suddenly?

Was she really going to ask the rascal where the restroom was? Wouldn’t that just invite more ridicule? It might be better to hold it in. The carriage was right outside; she should hurry home.

She walked towards the exit, but why was this urge to urinate so pressing? She could hardly hold it in anymore, making her walking posture quite odd.

Chu Lian noticed the unreasonable girl stand and head towards the exit and followed her out. But once outside, he felt something was amiss. Why had the unreasonable girl’s walking posture changed, tiptoeing, with her buttocks slightly raised?

Coming to his senses, his face instantly heated up. What had he been doing, inadvertently glancing at that spot on the unreasonable girl?

By now, Wang Xiangxiang couldn’t hold it anymore. Taking another step felt like she might urinate right then and there. She was furious at this point. How could this rascal’s home be so vast, and why was the path to the exit so long? Her face flushed with the effort of holding it in. Was this happening? Was her image going to be ruined by her bladder?

After a few more steps, Chu Lian sensed that something was increasingly wrong with the unreasonable girl, so he eventually broke the silence, "What’s wrong with you?"

After asking, he saw the unreasonable girl lift her flushed face, her big eyes brimming with tears as she stared at him and said softly, "I need to use the restroom."

"..." Hearing this, Chu Lian’s face instantly turned red. This unreasonable girl really had no sense of shame. He turned his head away, somewhat embarrassed, and pointed in a direction, "It’s over there; go by yourself."

He thought that after pointing her in the right direction, the unreasonable girl would go on her own, but she did not.

Instead, he heard the unreasonable girl speak in a pitiful tone, "But, I can’t walk anymore."
