Chapter 14 Encountering a Strange Handsome Man

Qi Yunran took Xiao Jingxuan out of the pharmacy and headed straight to the various food stalls in town, where she bought mung bean cakes and cloud cakes for Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiao Jingxuan happily accepted it and started eating: "Thank you, godmother."

"No need to thank me. Godmother made some money today. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll buy it for you. My darling baby should have everything that other little ones have."

"No need, godmother. This cloud cake is delicious, and we can't finish all the mung bean cakes. This is enough. We can take them home and eat them instead of buying more."

"Little Jingxuan is such a sweet little boy. He's so young and he already knows how to save money for his godmother." I pinched his little face and took him to the grain store, where we bought ten catties of rice and ten catties of flour.

He then bought salt and seasonings from the nearby general store, spending a total of three hundred coins, and put them in his basket.

Considering that Xiao Jingxuan had no clothes to wear, they took him to have two more sets of clothes made, which he was to pick up in three days.

I also bought two sets of clothes for Xiao Jingxuan to change into.

She bought herself a set of ready-made clothes to change into; they were simple, stylish, and the fabric was very comfortable to wear.

"Did Godmother buy too many? I can't wear all of them."

"How could that be too much? Your godmother would complain that she didn't buy you enough, even if you wear one set a day!"

Qi Yunran paid for the clothes, three taels of silver. Three days later, she picked up the clothes and paid a deposit of five hundred cash to Xiao Jingxuan for them.

After changing into their newly bought clothes, Xiao Jingxuan immediately transformed into the look of a wealthy young master. Qi Yunran also gained a touch of nobility.

After buying the things we needed, we slowly walked back with Xiao Jingxuan. On the way, we bought her candied hawthorns and sugar figurines.

Xiao Jingxuan shouted, "That's enough, that's enough, godmother, stop buying!" The things they bought could feed them several meals of white rice.

Qi Yunran found it amusing; the little guy had suffered too much, and she always wanted to leave him some leeway.

Since her precious Xuan is worried about the cost, she won't buy it!

I took Xiao Jingxuan to the pork shop and bought two jin of pork belly and three jin of pork bones to take home and make soup for Xiao Jingxuan.

With no more room in her basket, Qi Yunran took Xiao Jingxuan back home. They went to the village oxcart parking area first, but before she could even get on, the oxcart driver saw Qi Yunran carrying the basket and quickly drove off.

Qi Yunran was a little angry, as there was only one oxcart trip to the village.

I've made up my mind that next time I go to the market, I must buy my own oxcart.

Qi Yunran looked down apologetically at little Jingxuan, whose face was flushed from the sun. She felt a pang of heartache. "My darling Xuan, we'll have to walk back today." "Godmother, I'm not afraid. Aren't you tired? How about Jingxuan carries you?"

A warm feeling washed over Qi Yunran, and she bought an umbrella for Xiao Jingxuan, letting him hold it over his head.

"Let's go!"

"Godmother, aren't you going to use an umbrella?"

"Godmother doesn't need it right now."

And so, Qi Yunran led Xiao Jingxuan slowly back.

They chatted and laughed all the way.

Halfway there, Qi Yunran sensed someone following them, their eyes glancing at her basket from time to time.

Qi Yunran put down her basket and turned around to look.

He was a handsome and dazzling man, as if he had his own light and his whole body radiated light.

He was tall and slender, exuding an aura of asceticism.

He gives off an impression of being wise and polite.

Her light blue long gown was simple, neat, and elegant.

But the way he looked at her was a little strange; for some reason, he sensed a hint of resentment towards her in his calm and unwavering eyes.

When did such a handsome man come to the village?
While Qi Yunran was sizing up Pei Yuanjun, Pei Yuanjun was also sizing her up.

She has lost a lot of weight, but she is more energetic, confident, and bolder than before.

I used to see him with his head down, shy and insecure!

Now, not only do they dare to look him in the eye, but it's as if they've forgotten him and don't recognize him?

Her clothes were cleaner and tidier than before, and her hair was simply tied into a small bun at the back of her head with a wooden hairpin, with the rest of her hair hanging loose down her back.
