Chapter 238: The Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away
There were few people on the street, occasionally a few startled magpies flew out from the woods. A chaotic food stall was set up on the side of the street with a dim light hanging on it.
This is a stall specially reserved for people who come back late from outings. They are all hard laborers and have little money, so the prices at the Chaos Stall are low.
Ye Ruoxing followed Jiang Wuchen's carriage to a stop at the Chaos stall, instantly attracting the attention of the few diners sitting inside.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Jiang Wuchen felt the night was quiet and peaceful. Eating a meal at a street stall like this on such a moonlit night was an experience he had never had before.
The attendant servant took one look at the wonton stall with a bit of disgust, and then looked at the people who were eating the wontons. He felt that eating in such a place was really an insult to the emperor's uncle's status.
"Master, this place is too simple. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to have your meal here."
However, Ye Ruoxing had already gotten off the carriage. She walked to the Hun Dun stall with familiarity and said to the owner, "Uncle Zhang, I want two bowls of wontons."
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, turned around to look at the servant guarding the carriage, and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Several servants wanted to refuse, but Jiang Wuchen turned around and said to them, "We've been tired all night, so you should come along. There's no formalities here tonight."
Zhang Bo heard Ye Ruoxing's voice and responded with a smile, "Okay." When he looked up at Ye Ruoxing, he paused for a moment before smiling and said, "Little Ye, why are you suddenly wearing such nice clothes?"
Ye Ruoxing smiled, then pointed at Jiang Wuchen and introduced, "I recently changed where I work. This is my new employer. He's kind and saw that my previous clothes were already tattered, so he specially gave me new clothes."
Hearing this, Zhang Bo happily packed up his stall, wiping it while laughing, "It's good to have a change, it's good to have a change. Your previous boss was a black-hearted man who always left you hungry."
After the two sat down, Uncle Zhang was busy cooking wontons. Amidst the steam, Jiang Wuchen stared at Ye Ruoxing's profile in a trance.
The guilt in his heart surged like a tide. This girl had a really hard life, and he had actually doubted her before.
Ye Ruoxing knew that Jiang Wuchen was looking at her, so she deliberately showed her best profile to Jiang Wuchen. After all, she was beautiful, so why not use it?
Soon, the steaming wontons were brought up by Uncle Zhang. The aroma of the wontons, mixed with the aroma of flour and meat, made Ye Ruoxing's appetite grow.
When Zhang Bo served the wontons, he took another look at Ye Ruoxing, and then couldn't help asking in surprise, "Xiao Ye, you, the scar on your face."
"It's gone." Ye Ruoxing smiled with her eyebrows curved. Her eyes fell on Jiang Wuchen and introduced, "It was also my new boss who treated me."
Jiang Wuchen: ...
Jiang Wuchen has been used to being a vegetarian for many years and rarely eats other meals. After taking a few bites, he raised his head and looked at the person opposite him.
Ever since the wontons were served, she hardly looked at herself. Her tempting little mouth opened and closed without stopping. She ate the wontons at the speed of wind, but it didn't seem rude at all. Instead, it seemed very charming.
Jiang Wuchen couldn't help but recall the kiss in the carriage, and the familiar smell seemed to linger on his nose again.
His heart had always been very calm, but at this moment it became agitated, and he sighed in frustration.
"Master, why aren't you eating?" After finishing a bowl, Ye Ruoxing's eyes fell on the barely touched bowl in front of Jiang Wuchen, and asked tentatively, "Is it not tasty?"
The system thought she actually wanted to eat Jiang Wuchen's bowl, and reminded her, "Host, be elegant, be elegant. You are here to capture others, not to taste delicious food."
It’s really not the little fox’s fault. She had spent the entire afternoon at Ye’s house and hadn’t eaten anything, so she was naturally starving.
In addition, the wontons in this restaurant were really to her liking, so she naturally couldn't help but eat a few bites, which was understandable.
Seeing that she looked hungry, Jiang Wuchen ordered two more bowls for her. After she was full, he returned to the carriage with her.
[Greedy fox, remember to work, remember to do the right thing.]
The system was anxious. It felt that the fox was too slow in this mission. At the current pace of the two, when would it be possible to see them give birth to a child?
Ye Ruoxing lay down in the carriage contentedly. She touched her bulging belly and said with satisfaction, "Comfortable."
After all, the instinct of animals is to find food.
Just as the system was about to say something, Jiang Wuchen spoke up and asked Ye Ruoxing, "It's getting late. Where are you going tonight?"
"I don't know..." She lay lazily, her chin supported by her white arms, the scenery on her chest looming. Her eyes were blurred, and her red lips parted slightly. "I can't go back to the Ye family now. Why don't you take me in, uncle?"
It seemed that she was determined to rely on him. Jiang Wuchen regained some of his rationality. He couldn't even protect himself at the moment, so he really didn't have the energy to protect her. "Miss Ye is still unmarried. If she rashly moves into my mansion, I'm afraid it will cause criticism."
"Uncle Royal, what you said is so illogical. It was you who brought me out of the Ye family, and you also accepted me in the Ye family. Why are you talking about whether I am good or not?" Ye Ruoxing deliberately moved closer to Jiang Wuchen, staring at him with moist eyes, and asked, "Or do you think I'm ugly and look down on me?"
"Miss Ye, please respect yourself."
Jiang Wuchen finally came to his senses. He was afraid that Ye Ruoxing had long had intentions towards him, but she had hidden them quite deeply. However, he seemed to have fallen into her trap.
Even though it was not easy for her to get involved in the game, Jiang Wuchen sighed in his heart that this woman was really not simple.
At this moment, the carriage bumped again, and Ye Ruoxing threw herself into his arms without any hesitation. The only difference from last time was that this time she was more dramatic.
"My feet hurt so much." Her delicate body curled up in his arms, her face full of pain. One hand couldn't help but touch her ankle, which seemed to be seriously injured.
With such a warm and soft beauty in his arms, and the girl he was attracted to, Jiang Wuchen did not push her away. However, the next second, his expression turned cold when he saw the jade pendant on Ye Ruoxing's waist.
All his expressions turned cold in an instant. He pushed Ye Ruoxing away from his arms, exuding a deep cold aura. He said indifferently, "Miss Ye, please choose a place to go, otherwise I will have to send you back to the Ye family."

What the hell, the atmosphere between these two was so good, why did it suddenly cool down?
