Chapter 1462 - 1457: Fengzi, I Want to Make Money Here
Wen Xiaoya glared viciously at Mu Shuangshuang and almost snatched the piece of lamb, freshly coated with sauce, from Mu Shuangshuang’s hand.
Mu Shuangshuang still looked troubled, "Miss Wen, this really isn’t okay, our tastes don’t..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Wen Xiaoya had already started stuffing the lamb into her mouth.
Maybe she was too rushed; Wen Xiaoya gulped down a piece of lamb, and suddenly, her whole mouth felt like it was on fire.
"Ah... it’s so spicy..." Wen Xiaoya cried out.
"Miss Wen, I told you, I have a heavy taste, but you... ah, now you’ve suffered for it!" Mu Shuangshuang said helplessly from the side.
Wen Xiaoya almost went mad, her tongue nearly exploding, both spicy and salty, her face as red as a monkey’s bottom.
"Water... water..."
She stuck out her tongue while frantically searching for water.
Xing Beichen rolled his eyes and handed his wine to Wen Xiaoya: "Here’s some water, drink it!"
Wen Xiaoya was probably so overwhelmed by the spiciness that she didn’t care who offered the "water" and gulped it down.
"Ah... wine... so spicy..."
After drinking, Wen Xiaoya realized it was wine.
With chili and wine together, not only could her tongue not handle it, but even her stomach started cramping.
"You..." Wen Xiaoya pointed at Xing Beichen and glared at him fiercely.
"What do you mean ’you’, hurry and get back to your tent, if you dare come here again, I’ll make you regret it!"
Xing Beichen said fiercely.
After he finished speaking, Wen Xiaoya dashed out of the tent with stunning speed.
Once she was gone, Xing Beichen gave Mu Shuangshuang a thumbs-up.
"Impressive! Say, Shuangshuang, how did you know that woman would snatch the thing in your hand? And pre-coated it with sauce? Weren’t you afraid she wouldn’t take it?" Xing Beichen asked with great interest.
Lu Yuanfeng also watched Mu Shuangshuang.
"Women’s intuition, maybe!" Mu Shuangshuang said with faux seriousness.
Though it’s intuition, it was also deduced from countless incidents.
This Wen Xiaoya was hostile to her and had deliberately picked on her several times.
Logically speaking, with her looks, most people wouldn’t want to take a second glance, but this Wen Xiaoya was different. Every time she saw her, she couldn’t help but make her look bad.
Even in Wen Nantian’s tent, she would intentionally or unintentionally belittle her.
Anything she came up with, Wen Xiaoya would have an opinion on.
If she supported something, Wen Xiaoya would oppose it.
So, it wasn’t difficult to set a trap for Wen Xiaoya, just hoped that woman would be more mindful next time and not always hover around Fengzi.
"That intuition’s good, if that woman dares to come again next time, we’ll do something even harsher! I refuse to believe we can’t deal with her!" Xing Beichen laughed loudly.
Just from the way he spoke, one could tell how deep his resentment for Wen Xiaoya was.
Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but tease: "Beichen, what unresolved issues do you have with Miss Wen? Why not tell me and Fengzi, so we can enjoy it too! Otherwise, keeping it all to yourself doesn’t make sense!"
"Alright, alright, don’t mention enjoying or not, just seeing her annoys me!"
Xing Beichen didn’t hesitate to share everything he knew about Wen Xiaoya with Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.
After listening, Mu Shuangshuang found it intriguing.
"That little girl is quite interesting!" Mu Shuangshuang remarked.
Mu Shuangshuang even felt in her heart that a girl bold enough to challenge all the young masters in the Capital couldn’t possibly be a bad person.
That girl was just a bit unruly and willful!
Of course, if she wasn’t making a move on Fengzi, maybe they could even become friends!
But now, since she’s making a move on Fengzi, she and her are destined not to become friends!
"Alright, let’s not talk about this, let’s continue drinking and eating meat, as happy as we can be!" Mu Shuangshuang raised the water cup in front of her and said to Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen.
The three of them, only Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen drank alcohol.
As for Mu Shuangshuang herself, she drank hot water.
For a young girl, drinking less alcohol is always good.
The meal, the three of them ate heartily, emotions soaring to an incredible height.
If it weren’t for knowing they were still in a military camp, Mu Shuangshuang might have sung a song.
After the meal, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng escorted Xing Beichen out of the tent.
Xing Beichen currently shared a large bunk with other soldiers, so time wasn’t to be wasted.
After sending him outside the tent, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng turned to leave.
Finally returning to their own tent, just about to go in, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly felt something was wrong, as if someone was watching her and Lu Yuanfeng.
She shouted into the distant dark, "Who’s there?"
As she shouted, Lu Yuanfeng had already chased after the figure.
After a while, Lu Yuanfeng returned, drenched in sweat.
He shook his head, "Couldn’t catch up; that person was too fast!"
Mu Shuangshuang frowned; who could escape even Lu Yuanfeng?
"Da Niu, let’s get inside the tent first!" Lu Yuanfeng said with a serious expression.
He, like Mu Shuangshuang, thought this matter shouldn’t be taken lightly.
"Fengzi, do you think we’re being watched?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Didn’t feel it before, but the feeling today was too strong.
"Shuangshuang, do you think it’s just our imagination? Maybe there wasn’t anyone?" Lu Yuanfeng asked.
"I don’t know! But I feel like it’s no longer safe here!"
Mu Shuangshuang, after all, being a woman, could stir up trouble if discovered.
She thought about it again and decided to discuss with Lu Yuanfeng, "Fengzi, how about... I leave?"
"Shuangshuang, you..." Lu Yuanfeng suddenly became agitated.
"I’m fine, it’s not just because of today’s incident, but I think the business in the Northwest is really good!"
If it weren’t for joining the camp, Mu Shuangshuang would definitely do business in Xing City.
People in Xing City eat more buns, and she could totally sell sauces there.
Whether it’s meat sauce, beef sauce, or other sauces, they all pair perfectly with buns.
Plus, she could make some other snacks to earn the travel expenses for returning to the village, which wouldn’t be a problem.
"Shuangshuang, the money we have is enough, you don’t have to work so hard!" Lu Yuanfeng murmured.
He wasn’t comfortable with Shuangshuang going out to work.
Furthermore, it’s getting cold soon, going in and out isn’t very safe!
"Fengzi, having more money never hurts, I know you’re worried about me! Think about it, if a war really breaks out, what’s that bit of money going to do? It’s enough to support the family, but what about your mother?
Didn’t we agree to find your mother? Last time I asked the people at the escort agency to keep an eye out, but that was limited to the Qianzhou Prefecture area.
Beyond Qianzhou Prefecture, we’d need Silver to smooth things over; I think you joined the army also to make it easier to find your mother, right?"
