Shengjing Noble

Chapter 155 Differences Between Men and Women

After stirring and incorporating, the tea returned to its original color, as if nothing had ever been added.

Wenli took a deep breath, covered it nervously, and then quietly left through the back door.

……

The banquet began, the guests toasted each other, and the atmosphere was lively.

Su Lanyin sat at her seat eating snacks, but did not touch the cup of tea for a long time.

Wenli stood behind her and swallowed nervously, then raised her eyes to look in the direction of Su Lanxin, only to see that she was winking at her.

She took a deep breath, took the initiative to pick up the tea and offered it with both hands: "Miss, you must be thirsty after eating so many snacks. Why not have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Su Lanyin glanced at her coldly, but did not reach out to take it. She just asked indifferently: "Who asked you to serve here?"

Wenli gritted her teeth and said with embarrassment: "Didn't the young lady agree to let me stay with you, so..."

"I asked you to work in my yard, but I didn't say you had the right to stand beside me."

As soon as Su Lanyin finished speaking, Cuizhu stepped forward and pushed her rudely.

"The girl doesn't like you being here, so get out of here! Stop trying to please me!"

Wenli staggered and stood firm, spilling some of the tea in her hand. With red eyes, she said, "You can leave, but you can't not drink tea. I'm worried that you'll be thirsty after eating so many snacks."

Su Lanyin glanced at her with disdain, then raised her chin arrogantly and reluctantly took the cup of tea.

She sneered: "It's useless even if you try to curry favor with me. If you slack off, you will still be punished."

"Yes! I will go to work right away. Please have some tea, young lady."

"Humph."

Su Lanyin snorted coldly, picked up the teacup and placed it to her lips, then lifted it slightly. The warm tea slid down her mouth and into her throat, and the aroma of the tea filled her heart.

"Yeah, good tea." She nodded, then looked at Wenli who was staring at her, and said impatiently, "What are you looking at? Why don't you get out of here?"

"Yes! I'll get out of here right now!"

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Wenli curled up her lips into an evil smile. When she turned around, she pretended to be tripped and fell forward.

Su Lanyin didn't hold the cup of tea steady, and was hit, spilling all over her.

"what are you doing!"

She pushed Wenli away and stood up, looking at her gorgeous skirt soaked with tea, and she was furious.

Cuizhu immediately picked up a handkerchief to help her wipe off the excess water droplets, and complained angrily: "You are such a clumsy girl, you can't even stand steadily, and you dare to bump into the girl!"

Wenli quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize: "It's all my fault. I deserve to die. Please forgive me, young lady!"

"You are really good at making trouble instead of helping me!" Cuizhu glared at her fiercely, and then said to Su Lanyin, "There are so many guests watching, can I accompany you back to change your clothes?"

The master and servant were about to get up and leave when they heard Wenli say, "This place is too far from the courtyard where the young lady lives. It's so cold, and it would be bad if the young lady caught a cold if she walked back and forth like this. How about the young lady go to the teahouse in the back garden to rest first? I'll go get some clothes and I'll be back soon!"

Cuizhu and Su Lanyin looked at each other, and both understood what she was up to, so they nodded calmly.

"Okay, but let Cuizhu get it. You, an outsider, have no right to enter my room!"

"Yes, I'll go right away! Wenli, why don't you help the girl to the tea room to rest? If you are negligent, look at your skin carefully!"

"Yes, yes! I will help the girl over right away!"

Cuizhu got up and went to get her clothes, while Su Lanyin took Wenli towards the back garden.

Along the way, Wenli looked back absentmindedly, as if looking for something.

Su Lanyin knew it clearly in her heart, but she pretended to know nothing.

When the two of them arrived at the teahouse, Wenli wanted to find an excuse to leave.

"Young lady, please take a rest. I will go and see if Sister Cuizhu has arrived."

"How can it be so fast? You stay here and let me massage your legs!"

If Wenli were to leave like this, how would the next play proceed?

After saying that, Su Lanyin leaned back on the couch and placed her legs on the stool in front of her.

She closed her eyes and ordered in a cold and lazy tone: "Wenli, light the incense burner on the table."

"Huh? Yes."

Wenli was thinking about something else and was a little careless about what she was told. She lit the incense burner and looked out the window.

The incense emitted white smoke that rose up and quickly spread throughout the house.

Su Lanyin picked up the sachet on her body and put it to her nose and sniffed it gently. The cold fragrance rushed straight into her brain, making her mind clear in an instant.

On the contrary, Wenli was so nervous that she didn't notice anything unusual happening in her body.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Wenli's whole body stiffened for a moment. She swallowed and dared not speak. Instead, Su Lanyin spoke up to ask.

"Who?"

"I am Song Rui."

Before Su Lanyin could reply, Wenli rushed over impatiently and opened the door.

Seeing Su Lanyin leaning on the couch with a rosy face, her lazy and elegant posture was as tempting as a peeled lychee.

In addition, the fragrance in the room entered Song Rui's nose as soon as he opened the door, making him feel a little dazed unconsciously.

"Why is Sister Lanyin here?"

Su Lanyin curled her lips: "This is my home, do I have to report to you where I am?"

"That's not what I meant."

Song Rui walked in on his own, then sat down on the stool next to Su Lanyin without any courtesy, and looked her up and down without any concealment.

"Why are sister Lanyin's clothes wet?"

Su Lanyin was disgusted by his obscene look, so she simply sat up and said, "The maid clumsily knocked over the tea. I came here to change clothes. If you have nothing to do, please leave. After all, there is a difference between men and women."

Her order to expel him did not discourage Song Rui, but instead aroused his interest.

"Sister Lanyin seems to have become estranged from me?"

Su Lanyin curled her lips and asked coldly: "Oh, why do you think so?"

"Before, you kept calling me Brother Song and threw yourself into my arms, but why are you differentiating between men and women now?"

"Before, it was because there might be an engagement between you and me, but now I am no longer a member of the Su family. The person who made the engagement with you is Su Lanxin, so I naturally have to draw a clear line between us. After saying so much, Mr. Song, can you leave now?"

She stretched out her hand as if to invite him in, but unexpectedly Song Rui had the guts to grab her wrist.

The slender, white wrist was wrapped in his broad palm, and a hot electric current passed through her limbs and bones, making her heart palpitate unbearably.

"Sister Lanyin, I know you like me. In fact, I am also interested in you. Although I am engaged to your sister now, this does not prevent us from being together."
