Chapter 112 Engagement(1/2)
The two chatted while walking, and soon returned to Wang Cuilan's home.
At this time, Wang Cuilan had already prepared a sumptuous lunch for the two of them at home.
"Auntie, we are back."
Li Tian took Zhou Yening into the hut and called loudly.
Hearing the sound, Wang Cuilan hurried out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron.
"Hey, here you go, brat, please take the guests and sit down first. The food is already being prepared. It will be ready soon."
She greeted quickly.
"This girl is so handsome."
Looking at Zhou Ye Ning's lovely appearance, she couldn't help but mutter, after all, there was no one more beautiful than her in the village.
Then he turned around and walked into the kitchen again.
Li Tian didn't hear it, but Zhou Yening heard it clearly.
Although people often praise her, she was extremely happy when she heard Wang Cuilan's praise.
"Young Master, I also know how to cook. Let me go and help your aunt."
Although she was a guest, if she really had to do nothing and wait for the meal to be served, it would be worse than death.
But Li Tian stopped her immediately, so he didn't have the nerve to let her go.
"Sister Ye Ning, you are a guest, how can I let you do anything? I just go and you just sit back."
He also knew that Zhou Yening might be uncomfortable, so he simply gave her some time to be alone.
With that said, he stood up and ran to the kitchen regardless of the obstruction.
"Auntie, let me help you!"
He was kicked out soon after.
"It's extremely hot in the kitchen. Sit down and the food will be ready in no time."
Li Tian smiled awkwardly at Zhou Yening, dusted off the dust on his butt, and returned to his seat.
"It's funny, Auntie, that's how she is. Come on, sister Ye Ning, drink some water."
He picked up the water glass and immediately poured a glass of water for Zhou Yening, trying to relieve the embarrassment.
Zhou Yening covered her mouth and smiled, then took the water glass.
"I can see that your aunt loves you very much. This can only happen if the relationship is good."
Li Tian scratched his head and smiled sheepishly again.
Soon, Wang Cuilan put plates of prepared meals on the table.
Another meal was served for the two of them.
"It's time to eat. Don't worry about the simpleton. Just deal with him. I heard from Xiaotian that you were the one who sent him back. It's really troublesome for you. I don't know what to call him?"
Wang Cuilan wiped the sweat from her forehead, sat down and said to Zhou Yening in front of her.
"No trouble, no trouble. This is what I should do. My name is Zhou Yening. You can just call me Xiao Zhou. I come to bother you this time. I hope I won't disturb you."
Zhou Yening replied immediately with a flattered look.
Seeing her being so polite, Wang Cuilan smiled.
"No need to disturb me, if you like, you can come here every day, hahaha, eat quickly, eat quickly, the food won't taste good when it's cold."
She immediately greeted Zhou Ye Ning and moved her chopsticks.
"Why."
After responding, Zhou Yening picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She picked up a piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it twice, and her face was full of wonder.
"Wow, it's delicious. Auntie, the food you cook is more delicious than the chefs in Lingyun City."
As he said this, he took two more bites, his face full of happiness.
Li Tian twitched his mouth, and what he said was true! Of course, he didn't dare to complain, he only nodded in agreement and gave a thumbs up.
When Wang Cuilan heard the guest's compliment, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She immediately put two more chopsticks into her bowl and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, is it true? If you like it, just eat more."
"Xiao Zhou, you are not only beautiful, but you are also so good at talking."
Not to be outdone, Zhou Yening returned the two chopsticks.
"Auntie, you eat too."
Li Tian "..."
He could only pretend not to hear the two of them complimenting each other and just eat the food in his hands.
Wang Cuilan nodded and continued while eating.
"Xiao Zhou, are you also a student of Lingtian Academy? How do you know our Xiaotian?"
Zhou Yening stopped the chopsticks in his hand and replied.
"I am not a student of Lingtian Academy, my young master is. This time, my young master asked me to send Mr. Li Tian back."
"Your son? Are you a maid from a wealthy family?"
Wang Cuilan was stunned. She thought she was Li Tian's senior, but she didn't expect that she was actually a maid from a wealthy family.
"That's right, I'm an orphan and was adopted by my family since I was a child."
Zhou Yening smiled and didn't mind the identity of the maid at all.
"Then do people usually bully you? I heard that the servants of wealthy families have a very miserable life, and you are so beautiful..."
Speaking of this, Wang Cuilan couldn't help but start gossiping and didn't even bother to eat.
Li Tian "Ahem..."
Regarding her curiosity, Zhou Yening couldn't help but find it funny and replied.
"No, my family is very nice. As long as I don't make mistakes, I'm usually very free."
"That's good. By the way, I heard that some young masters from wealthy families are very bad and even tease maids. Is this true? How is your young master?"
Wang Cuilan did not stop gossiping and continued to ask curiously.
Li Tian frowned and said, "Ahem..."
Zhou Yening didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't mind and replied patiently.
"I don't know about others, but my young master is a very nice person. You can also ask Mr. Li Tian about this, he will definitely know."
Hearing what she said, Wang Cuilan nodded and did not really ask Li Tian.
He just smiled, picked up his rice bowl, and prepared to continue eating.
Seeing this, Zhou Yening thought that her gossip was over and was ready to continue eating.
At this time, Wang Cuilan suddenly put down her rice bowl.
"Then do you have a boyfriend?"
The rice in Li Tian's mouth spurted out, "Cough cough cough cough..."
Different from the last two times, this time he was really choked...
When Wang Cuilan first started asking questions, he had a bad premonition. Sure enough, the topic came up again, and his previous two cough reminders had no effect at all.
Wang Cuilan quickly patted his back.
"What's the matter with you? You've been coughing and your throat feels uncomfortable. After dinner, I'll take you to see the doctor."
Li Tian's face turned dark, Auntie, can you have some emotional intelligence?
"I'm fine, auntie. I'm a guest. Don't ask so many questions and let me have a good meal."
As he spoke, he winked at her.
Only then did Wang Cuilan understand, and said embarrassedly.
"Yes, yes, I talk too much, hahaha, Xiao Zhou, don't mind, eat quickly, eat quickly."
Zhou Yening smiled and shook her head to express that she didn't mind.
"It's okay. Auntie, if you have anything else you want to ask, just ask. Just now you asked me if I have a boyfriend... Actually, I'm already engaged."
"ah?"
Li Tian was surprised now, because Zhou Yening looked a few years older than him, and he didn't expect that he was already engaged.
"Hehe, you didn't expect that, did you?"
Zhou Yening seemed to be prepared for Li Tian's surprise, squinting and smiling.
Li Tian's face turned red when she saw him.
