Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Don’t Want to Leave Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Don’t Want to Leave Wang Meng appraised Su Ningxiu, who was wearing a lake-green dress today, with her hair adorned with a matching Pearl Hairpin. Su Ningxiu today looked even more beautiful and delicate than the last time Wang Meng saw her. Reason told Wang Meng that this was the moment he should leave.
He was supposed to go to the backyard and help the Gu brothers with the rabbits.
But his feet wouldn’t move.
Yes!
He didn’t want to leave.
Su Ningxiu was sitting there, helping her little sister and brother-in-law mind the store, but at this moment the store had no customers; it was just her and Wang Meng. The two fell into an uncomfortable silence.
Su Ningxiu took the initiative to strike up a conversation, “Brother Wang, may I ask where your home is?” At that moment, Wang Meng was wracking his brain to initiate a conversation with Su Ningxiu.
Now that Su Ningxiu had opened the conversation, Wang Meng immediately responded.
“Miss Su, my family lives in Gu Family Village, which is the same village as the Gu brothers.” After Wang Meng finished speaking, Su Ningxiu suddenly remembered that her younger sister had mentioned Wang Meng’s place of residence before.
Knowing that Wang Meng and her brother-in-law lived in the same village, Su Ningxiu had no further questions, as her inquiry was really just small talk.
To alleviate the awkwardness between them.
After a single exchange,
Su Ningxiu fell silent again, and Wang Meng, having opened the conversation, continued to ask Su Ningxiu, “Miss Su, has that Master Wu bothered you again since last time?”
Since clarifying things with Master Wu, Su Ningxiu had not seen him again. After so much time, she had nearly forgotten about the man.
Wang Meng brought him up again.
Su Ningxiu shook her head, “Brother Wang, no, he has not troubled me since. I’m afraid the incident last time was quite embarrassing for you to witness.” The thought of Wang Meng seeing what happened with her and Master Wu that time made Su Ningxiu feel somewhat ashamed.
Wang Meng quickly spoke up.
“Miss Su, you were deceived last time; all blame lies with that despicable and shameless Master Wu and his vile actions. You can’t blame yourself for that, Miss Su, and you shouldn’t dwell on it.”
Su Ningxiu looked at Wang Meng, “Brother Wang, don’t you think my behavior was improper?” The incident at the market had spread to the Su Family Village.
These past days in the village, Su Ningxiu had her fill of idle gossip. Especially Su Xiaofu, who on several occasions had approached Su Ningxiu to call her a shameless woman.
Saying she was luring men all the way to the town.
Although Su Ningxiu herself had been deceived, after hearing such talk repeatedly, she did feel a measure of concern and inferiority, even truly feeling as though she had been luring men.
“Of course not, Miss Su; you’ve always been a good girl in my eyes.” Without even thinking, Wang Meng immediately blurted out his response.
Wang Meng was telling the truth; he indeed held that opinion of her. How could he blame her for that matter with Master Wu when she too was a victim?
A good girl?
Su Yunjin repeated Wang Meng’s words, her eyes shining, “Brother Wang, do you really think I am a good girl?” It had been the first time someone had called her a good girl since the incident.
Wang Meng looked at Su Ningxiu solemnly and nodded.
“Miss Su, I genuinely believe you are a good girl.” Wang Meng’s expression was serious and earnest, not at all like he was lying.
Su Yunjin looked at Wang Meng.
“Thank you, Brother Wang, for still seeing me in that light.”

Back at the front part of the store, Wang Meng and Su Ningxiu’s conversation grew, and neither felt awkward any longer, while in the backyard, after Gu Ya had finished skinning the rabbits,
his little wife wouldn’t let him leave.
