Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Chapter 206 At least I can protect myself

"Miss, Miss, wake up!" Pei'er entered Cheng Wenwen's room and gently pushed Cheng Wenwen's arm to wake her up.

Cheng Wenwen woke up vaguely, and when she saw Pei'er, she yawned and asked, "What's the matter, Pei'er?"

Pei'er hurriedly said, "Miss, the general is here, he's outside."

"Qi Shuo? What is he doing here so late at night? Call him to the yard and have him sit down! I'll get up first."

Pei Er thought of the general's appearance and said, "Miss, the general is not right now. It may not be a good idea to ask him to come in."

"What's wrong?" Cheng Wenwen wondered.

Pei Er described the scene she had just seen, saying, "The general is soaked and his clothes are not tidy. He doesn't look normal. I don't know what's wrong. We should be more careful!"

Although Pei'er was optimistic about Qi Shuo and Cheng Wenwen being together, the general's appearance was not a good thing. If something happened, it would be difficult for the two women to cope with it!

When Cheng Wenwen heard Pei'er's description, she also felt that something was wrong, so she said, "Hurry up and go find Song Jiang through the back door. I'll go see him."

"Then Miss, you have to be careful. Don't open the door unless it's absolutely necessary. Protect yourself and wait for me to come back!"

"it is good!"

After Pei'er finished her instructions, she immediately went out of the back door of the yard.

Cheng Wenwen simply put on her coat and went out. She walked to the gate and knocked, then called out, "Qi Shuo? How are you?"

"Wenwen?" Qi Shuo's tone was hot. When he heard Cheng Wenwen's voice, everything that was suppressed in his body seemed to be clamoring. He wanted to open the door immediately, hold her in his arms, and possess and plunder her at will.

But the only remaining trace of rationality made him sober. He couldn't do this, it would scare her. She was always like a turtle in love. Once she was hurt, she would shrink back and hide.

If he did anything today, she was afraid he would just want to stay away from her and never see her again.

"Qi Shuo? What's wrong with you? Did something happen? Why did you come to see me in the middle of the night?"

Cheng Wenwen's concerned voice came out. Qi Shuo exhaled a breath, suppressed his panting and smiled: "It's okay, I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come and talk to you."

"But...Pei'er said you were soaked and looked a little unwell. What happened to you?"

Cheng Wenwen still wanted to ask more clearly, who would come to chat with someone in the middle of the night, all wet?

Could it be that... Qi Shuo was assassinated? Was he pushed into the water?

Cheng Wenwen imagined many plots of palace fighting dramas, but...something seemed a little wrong?

How could Qi Shuo, with his tall and mighty figure, be pushed into the water so easily?

Besides, there is no lake in their general's mansion.

Cheng Wenwen shook her head and rejected the idea.

Qi Shuo just said: "Wenwen, please talk to me! I will feel better when I hear your voice."

"Ah? What did you say?" Cheng Wenwen was not clear about Qi Shuo's current situation, and didn't know what to say.

"You can say anything you want. You can talk about your past, or about your recent time in the capital, or... about you and your cousin."

Cheng Wenwen has someone she likes, which is a bad thing for Qi Shuo.

"How are you and your cousin?" Qi Shuo asked.

When Qi Shuo asked Cheng Wenwen about Wang Shen, she couldn't help but not know where to start.

She and Wang Shen had made things clear long ago, and Wang Shen had not appeared by her side for a long time.

Cheng Wenwen simply summed it up in a few words: "That's it, because we are distant cousins, we met a few years ago, and then we gradually became familiar with each other."

"Do you still like him now?" Qi Shuo asked directly.

Thinking of Wang Shen, Cheng Wenwen sighed and said, "My cousin Wang and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We are just ordinary relatives now."

"So... you don't like him anymore?" Qi Shuo inexplicably felt a little hope.

"Not really! I definitely like him, but not as much as before. He is still beautiful in my heart."

Just like first love.

Wang Shen is a gentle and handsome man with a very kind and good manner. He certainly has a place in Cheng Wenwen's heart.

However, their current situation is indeed not suitable.

If she hadn't married at the beginning, perhaps she could have married into the Wang family and at most people would have accused her of marrying above her station.

But now that she is remarried, marrying into the Wang family will definitely mean more than just a few words being said. There will definitely be cold treatment and disgust, as well as all kinds of rumors.

Cheng Wenwen feels that life is pretty good now. She earns her own money and spends it on her own. She doesn't have to have a result with her cousin Wang. It is enough for each of them to keep the beauty in their hearts.

When Qi Shuo heard her answer, he couldn't help but ask: "If you still like each other, why don't you stay together?"

Qi Shuo had a brief contact with her cousin, and he didn't seem like the kind of person who would care that she had been married. Since they both still liked each other, why didn't they be together?

Cheng Wenwen sighed and said, "Although we like each other, we also have to consider the reality! There are many things between us, such as family reputation, relatives, etc. If we force ourselves to be together, if something happens later, we may feel resentful and regretful. By then, this love will be completely changed. It is better for us to leave a beautiful part of each other like this, rather than being tired of each other in the future."

Qi Shuo couldn't help but smile when he heard Cheng Wenwen speak so logically and rationally, "Your love is not as good as your rationality."

Cheng Wenwen was exposed by Qi Shuo's words and smiled, "You are right. After all, I still don't like him enough. If I really like him, I will definitely overcome these problems for the sake of liking him. However, I am not that kind of person. I have to consider all kinds of consequences."

Cheng Wenwen was an orphan and had no one to support her, so naturally she had to think more about herself.

When Qi Shuo heard Cheng Wenwen say this, he suddenly felt that they were actually very similar people.

Because there is no one to support me, I have to plan and build a world for myself.

"I guess I never really understood you before," Qi Shuo said.

"So what kind of person did you know me to be like before?" Cheng Wenwenwen.

"I used to think that you were a noble lady from the capital, born delicate and gentle, and friendly to others. I always felt that you looked so beautiful and warm that I couldn't help but want to get closer to you, but I was afraid that you were too weak, and that my sudden approach would make you scared and retreat. In fact, it's not the case. You are much stronger than I thought." Qi Shuo said.

Cheng Wenwen felt a little embarrassed when she heard Qi Shuo's praise for her. She smiled and said, "How can I be as good as you say? I'm not weak, I'm timid. I'm afraid that if I take a step forward, I will have to pay the corresponding consequences. So I'm afraid and dare not take a step forward."

"This is good, at least I can protect myself." After Qi Shuo finished speaking, he suddenly groaned in discomfort.

After hearing this, Cheng Wenwen asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"
