Hearing the woman’s voice, the two burly men’s eyes instantly found focus, the crazed look in their eyes converging on Liu Limin, frightening her so much that she couldn’t help but take two steps back.

"Don’t be afraid." Wuhen gently supported her lower back, his tender voice rising behind her ear, "I’m here, they won’t dare do anything to you."

Feeling the breath of the person behind her, Liu Limin’s uneasy heart suddenly calmed down. She took a deep breath, and if it weren’t for her still swollen cheeks, her little face would probably be as red as a big apple.

The two burly men’s originally crazed eyes, upon meeting Wuhen’s chilling, warning gaze, immediately became cowardly. It was only after they saw Meng Tong in the corner that they finally found an outlet for their aggression.

By now, Meng Tong was starting to get restless too. He wanted to escape, but his legs were so weak he couldn’t stand up at all. Watching the two burly men slowly approach, Meng Tong actually began to feel anticipation...

Listening to the unspeakable sounds coming from the room, Liu Limin walked even faster.

Wuhen appeared nonchalant, only the slight redness at his ears betraying his current mood.

Perhaps to cover his own flustered feelings, Wuhen couldn’t resist teasing the woman who was walking ahead briskly, "Hey, you’re escaping too fast, aren’t you?

I specially prepared this play for you, and you just walk away without even taking a glance? What a waste of my good intentions."

Liu Limin’s mouth twitched. Who was it that had covered her eyes first? Who had pulled her out of the room?

"How come you’re here? Aren’t you..." Liu Limin took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound normal.

At this point, Wuhen couldn’t help but start to gripe, "You’re one to talk, it’s all because of your mother, insisting that I bring a message to my brother to propose.

Wow, let me tell you, is it that no one dares to marry you?

Look how anxious your mother is. Take my advice, sister, if you meet a good man, just marry him quickly.

Otherwise, it could be like today again.

If I can’t arrive in time, do you have any idea how.

.. ah, never mind, let’s not talk about the past. Come on, I’ve gone to such lengths to save you, you ought to prepare a jar of good wine for me! "

Liu Limin looked disheartened and murmured softly, "Did you, did you come to save me just for the wine?"

Young Master Wuhen couldn’t help but pause, his eyes shifting around as he hemmed and hawed, "Yes, yes, that’s right. If I hadn’t known that you can brew wine and were hiding some good wine, who would bother to follow you?"

To tell the truth, when he saw Liu Limin sneaking out alone, he really thought the girl was hiding some good wine. Who would’ve thought that such an easy-to-deceive girl couldn’t even see that the lady was a swindler? So foolish!

"If I could brew a wine for you, one that is unique in this world, would you, would you stay? Stay forever?" Limin was straightforward by nature, resolutely not marrying someone she disliked, and naturally not wanting to miss out on a man she liked.

Stay forever?

Wuhen immediately shook his head, "I have always been accustomed to freedom, living more than twenty years without ever staying long in one place. But, you know, if you really can brew some good wine, you don’t even have to tell me.

I’ll be able to find you by following the fragrance of the wine, haha. "

Limin couldn’t tell if Wuhen was serious or joking, but seeing his unhesitant shake of the head, her heart felt empty and hollow, more painful than feeling aggrieved.

"Have you never thought about getting married?" Liu Limin couldn’t help but ask.

This time Wuhen began to wave his hands dismissively, "Getting married, that’s the most boring thing in the world! I’d rather go a year without wine than get married. No, make that ten years!"

Liu Limin looked down, her eyes brimming with unshed tears while she quickly turned and walked ahead.

Wuhen followed behind, puzzled as to why the girl suddenly took off. But then, his craving for alcohol kicked in, and he couldn’t help asking, "Do you still have any good wine?"

The person ahead didn’t turn back or speak, merely shook her head.

Wuhen felt dejected but wasn’t ready to give up, "Isn’t there a jar in your room? Can I have it? Consider it a thank-you gift."

Liu Limin’s lips were pale as she nodded.

Wuhen was thrilled, "Aside from that jar of wine, is there anything else?"

Nothing more.

Wuhen pouted and let out a sigh.

The person ahead also sighed, with a sadness that couldn’t be explained.

Liu Limin returned to the wine estate with a face swollen like a pig’s head, giving Lady Fan quite a fright.

Thankfully, they had conspired in advance to provide the same story, claiming to have been stung by poisonous bees on the road.

Luckily, using Wuhen’s ointment, though Liu Limin’s face was swollen, it did not show any handprints; otherwise, they really couldn’t have deceived Lady Fan.
