"How is it? Does Miss want to hide under the umbrella?" Liu Chu Yuan smiled innocently. Those who didn't know the situation would think that this umbrella was originally his.

Although Qin Wuya was furious, she still had a backbone. Since she said that she would give the umbrella to this fellow, it would not be good for him to go back on her words now.

"No need. I can see the beauty under the snow. If it falls on my body, it would be a different story."

"Scattered into the bead curtain wet curtain, fox fur is not warm bed thin. Flying snow on her clothes, although graceful, Miss should remember that her body is more important, and should not attract any wind or cold. " Liu Chu Yuan still had a smile on his face. The only thing he said was very light. No matter how he looked at it, it felt like he deserved a beating.

"Crow's beak." It's not because of you, but because of you. " Qin Wuya gritted her teeth.

"I said that I would split the umbrella into half for the lady." Liu Chu Yuan was still smiling innocently.

"Shut up!"

Qin Wuya didn't want to chat with him anymore, so with a cold harrumph, she covered her red ears which were covered by a cotton blanket.

It only took him half an hour to walk from Qin Wuya's residence to the Guest Home Resturant's usual weather. Today, due to the delay in the snowstorm, he walked for more than two hours.

The shoes and socks under Qin Wuya's feet were wrapped up completely in paper oil and were not much wet, but the jacket over her body had actually gotten thirty percent heavier than before due to the pressure of the snow particles.

As Qin Wuya walked, shshewould occasionally brush the snow on top of her head, and when she reached the entrance of the Guest Home Resturant, he was still completely white, as if she was a moving snowman, causing people to look over.

Compared to Qin Wuya's bedraggled state, Liu Chu Yuan, who was only a few meters behind her, seemed to be much more relaxed.

Other than the umbrella's top being covered with a layer of snow, his feet seemed to be completely untouched. It was as if he had just walked out of a house and hadn't even passed through the wind and snow.

Qin Wuya was gloomy, she secretly looked at the deep lake blue jacket draped on Liu Chu Yuan's body, she could not see anything strange, but after looking at it more carefully, she was able to see what it was.

It turned out that the material on the surface of Liu Xiuyuan's gown was not the usual cloth. Although it was deep lake blue, when walking, it could produce cyan light. It seemed like a satin cloth, but it was even finer and smoother than a satin cloth.

It was as if someone had smeared a layer of oil over the cloth. Even though the snow particles were floating lightly and followed the wind into the umbrella, they still wouldn't be able to touch the clothes easily. Even if one were to be smeared on the cloth, it would quickly slide down the surface of the cloth along the lines. It was not a big deal at all.

However, what really made Qin Wuya jealous was not the jacket, but the boots on the ground.

It was unknown what type of animal fur was used to make the boot's surface look very smooth. It was as if it was completely impervious to water as the coat.

It was no wonder that no matter how miserable Qin Wuya was walking along the way, Liu Chu Yuan was able to follow him leisurely like she was fine, as if there was no snow underneath his feet.

In front, Qin Wuya did not know the reason, but looking at it now, how could she not understand, it was simply because the two of them had different levels of equipment.

Qin Wuya was furious.

That fellow was already dressed in this manner, yet he actually had the nerve to snatch his umbrella. Isn't he too thick-skinned to give it to a dog to eat?

"Miss, why don't you come over after holding an umbrella? What will happen if you attract a chill? Hurry up and go to the kitchen stove to warm up."

Today, the one welcoming him at the door was Wang Er's younger brother, he had met Qin Wuya once before and was very flexible, so when he saw Qin Wuya coming in, he quickly passed him a clean cloth.

Qin Wuya accepted the duster and the shop assistant's thanks, then hurriedly dusted off the snow particles on her body, and headed towards the large kitchen in the backyard.

When he just entered the Guest Home Resturant, Qin Wuya knew that Liu Chu Yuan would definitely follow him in, but this time, Qin Wuya didn't care about him as much as before.

Since he was willing to follow, then so be it. Guest Home Resturant was an inn that opened its doors for business, there was no reason for him to chase the guests outside.

However, the restaurant had its own rules. You could enter the front hall, but there were employees guarding the back of the big kitchen. Without the head storekeeper's guidance, people who were not familiar with each other could not easily enter.

Qin Wuya had just walked out of the lobby and into the backyard, but Liu Chu Yuan's legs were already blocked by the guard at the door.

When Liu Chu Yuan came in, he did not expect the little brat to be related to the Guest Home Resturant's manager, he was curious, but was helpless. He could only find a quiet little table and ask the waiter to warm a pot of tea. Then, he ordered a portion of cured meat for him to eat and pass the time.

In fact, Liu Chu Yuan was going to the clinic today. The only difference was that the family who was sick was different from the other families. Liu Chu Yuan's family was considered close relatives to the Liu Family. As a result, Liu Xiuyuan did not leave in a hurry after he finished his diagnosis, and was left behind to eat the lunchtime diet.

After the lunchtime diet passed, Liu Chu Yuan bid farewell to the main house and planned to leave the house from the back to return to Baoji Hall. However, he had not expected to see that interesting little Qin girl as soon as he stepped out the door.

Ever since the two of them met at the side of the street, eating at the small restaurant, Liu Chu Yuan had not seen Qin Wuya ever again.

At first, Liu Chu Yuan wanted to look for her, but he felt that it was appropriate. Luckily, when he flipped through the records, he remembered that the Zhang woman still needed to make a trip to Baoji Hall to visit her again half a month later. He understood that there was no need to rush, and thought that he would be able to see her again eventually.

However, Liu Chu Yuan did not expect Qin Wuya to dodge so straightforwardly this time.

When the time came, Qin Wuya did not let the Zhang Clan delay either. On the contrary, it was Wang Nu and Madam Lin who brought sufficient silver coins to send Zhang Clan to Baoji Hall.

Since he did not manage to see Qin Wuya that day, Liu Chu Yuan was naturally not in a good mood. However, he could not possibly fake the Zhang Clan's illness because of this.

Not to mention that Liu Chu Yuan couldn't do it, even if he had the face to do it, the others might not believe it. After all, Mrs. Zhang's body was getting better with each passing day, so anyone could see that she was fine.

As the only famous doctor in the Clear Water Town, Liu Chu Yuan had a successful career at such a young age. Just like how it was difficult for modern medical personnel to find a target, this Doctor Liu that was respected in the town was also a real bachelor, and an elder male.

Liu Chu Yuan was one in twenty this year, and was two years older than Zhang Shan. Normally, as long as his family wasn't too poor, at his age, they would hold hands for at least three years.

He didn't know why Liu Chu Yuan's marriage couldn't be settled.

It was strange to say that Liu Chu Yuan's marriage could not be settled.

Although the Liu Family was not as rich as the Zhang Family of the Duan Clan in Yunzhou, but the Liu Family had opened a medical hall in the Clear Water Town for generations. They were well-known as a middle-rich family in the town, so they would not have the money to carry a daughter-in-law for their children.

Not to mention that Liu Chu Yuan was the only son of Liu Family's Liu Family juniors. He was also considered to be one of the most beloved kids in the Liu Family.

However, there was no other reason why the two Liu Family Patriarchs were so worried about Liu Chu Yuan. After all, Liu Chu Yuan had been talking about marriage since he was a 16 year old official.

If one were to talk about a boy from a country bumpkin's family, the family would have some money. Most of the time, they would start looking for girls of appropriate age to get married first and bring them over as soon as they became adults.

Although there were some differences between the town and the countryside, there were still quite a few families who had asked for a matchmaker a long time ago in order to arrange a marriage for their sons. It was just like modern parents who were anxious to get a blind date with their children. They were afraid that if they were late, the best would all be picked, leaving only a pot of broken dates in which there would be no place for them to cry.

The two Liu Family Patriarchs were not in a hurry until Liu Chu Yuan turned fourteen. It was not because the two of them believed that their son's conditions were good, but because the old matriarch of the Liu Family had engaged a baby marriage to Liu Chu Yuan when he was still alive.

Liu Chu Yuan was just a baby at the time of the engagement. The girl had just crawled out of her mother's womb. She was from a family in the county that dealt in medicinal herbs. Her surname was Wang, and she had some friendship with the Liu Family in the older generation.

The Wang and Liu Families were dealing with medicinal herbs, while the Liu and Liu Families opened a medical clinic to save patients. In fact, the two families could be considered well-matched.

However, he didn't know whether it was because Liu Chu Yuan was too stubborn, or because the Wang family's young miss was too weak.

When Liu Chu Yuan was 15 years old, the two Liu Family Patriarchs asked the matchmaker to go to the county to discuss the marriage between the Wang Family and the Liu Family. As the two families had a relationship year in and year out, the two families knew each other well and the matchmaker was sent easily, so the Wang Family agreed to the marriage and waited for the Liu Family to end the good days and go to the Geng Pai.

However, the fault lay with the Geng Pai. The Liu Family had picked a few days to visit the County City with four colors, but they were always delayed because of such a problem.

This was supposed to be a disgrace to the girl's family. However, the Wang Family was a reasonable one and had a close relationship with the Liu Family. Therefore, they didn't bother about the rudeness of the Liu Family. It was not until the fifth time that the Liu Family chose the gift to apologize to the Liu Family that this matter was decided.

After the two sides exchanged Geng Pai s, they invited their people to join in. The two patriarchs of the Liu Family happily invited some famous people in the town to take care of it themselves.

After the results of the second day came out, the Liu Family wanted to go to the county to announce the good news, but the Wang Family, who was supposed to be relatives, had already scolded someone and told them that their young miss had gone.

This time, the Liu Family was confused.

Especially Liu Chu Yuan's mother, the Liu Family's First Lady, she was so shocked that she couldn't say anything. She had obviously asked the Miss Wang to speak when she was giving away the Geng Pai last time. Although she was a bit skinny, her appearance was very good. She didn't have any problems with her body, and most importantly, she was gentle and understanding. She was very satisfied. How come she lost someone who had been fine for only a few days?

Miss Wang's body was weaker than other people's since childhood. I heard that it was due to Lady Wang being frightened during childbirth and that it was considered to have been brought out of the mother's womb. However, it was not a big problem, and after a few years of nursing, she was already no different from a normal person.

After all, the Wang family was in the medical profession, and although they did not have a clinic, all of the family's elders and young masters were well versed in medicine. If the Miss Wang really had problems with medicinal pills and could not cure them, the Wang family would have already noticed it, why would they suddenly disappear at the age of fifteen?

Even if the Wang family was not proficient in medicine, the Liu family was in contact with the Wang family year after year. Since the Liu family was a family that practices medicine, they would pay more attention if they knew that the Miss Wang was their daughter-in-law.

This made people feel that there was something wrong with it. A good girl who had lived a beautiful life for more than ten years was about to marry him. However, she just said that he was gone and that was all.

There were no more complications ahead of them. It seemed like the night that the Geng Pai passed from the Liu Family was the wrong time.

In the beginning, it was impossible to tell what was wrong with him. However, he had suddenly lost all his strength and could only fall into a deep slumber.

At that time, the people of the Wang family didn't care too much about it. They only thought that the girl was lazy and wanted to sleep, but no one expected that she would sleep for two whole days without getting up.

Only then did the Wang family become anxious. They hurriedly went to the town to find a doctor to look for them. When the doctor arrived, they all went to the town.

How could the Wang family endure this?

However, what could they do? No one had ever hurt her daughter before. Even if they had a grudge in their hearts, they wouldn't be able to find someone to send it to.

The young miss of the Wang Family was no more. The Wang Family members were sad, but the Liu Family members were confused.

The two Liu Family Patriarchs never thought that their daughter-in-law who had been waiting for more than ten years would be married soon. They just said they had nothing, not even a little preparation.

If the two elders of the Liu Family were confused, then Liu Chu Yuan, the bridegroom, felt that it was a bit strange.

Liu Chu Yuan had seen the Miss Wang before, the two families were old friends, and they weren't far from each other. Naturally, he had to meet them once or twice a year.

In his mind, although the Wang Family's eldest daughter had a pretty personality, she didn't seem like his wife. Perhaps it was because she was too familiar with him, but in his eyes, the Miss Wang was more like a pretty sister to him. He didn't really like her, but he didn't really hate her either.

The two of them often played around when they were young, so naturally, they were not afraid of others. However, when Liu Chu Yuan grew up, he vaguely knew that the two families were engaged to each other, and from then on, he unconsciously started to distance himself from the Miss Wang. He never took the initiative to visit the County City's Wang Family, even if his parents wanted to visit him, they would do so as far as possible. If not, he would only respectfully speak to his elders, unlike when he was young and intimate with the Miss Wang.

The elders of the estranged families all looked on in their eyes, but they didn't pay much attention to him. They only thought that he had grown up and was no longer as playful as he was in the past.

In the eyes of the Wang family, although the two families were engaged, the daughter of the Wang family, who had never formally visited the family, had always secretly shared secrets with the young man. This was not a good thing for their reputation.
