Hearing someone calling outside, Tang Wanwan thought it was Xu Xiao You who had returned.
Normally, no one called her like that.
After listening carefully to the voices outside, it seemed like it was Lu Yujin’s voice.
Why was he calling so loudly, afraid others wouldn’t hear?
Tang Wanwan quickly sent Xiao Yi to play with her younger sister, Xiao Rou.
Seeing her sister didn’t blame her, Tang Xiao Yi was very happy.
Holding Xiao Rou’s hand, she ran to the window and peeked out, calling, “Brother Lu, it’s Brother Lu.”
Lu Yujin immediately took out a bag of candies and gave it to Tang Xiao Yi to share with Xiao Rou.
“Why are you here?
Don’t spoil them.” Everyone could see from the way Xiao Yi targeted Gu Yunzhi today, claiming “Brother Lu said this or that,” that Lu Yujin and Tang Xiao Yi had a pretty good relationship.
It seemed Lu Yujin was having Xiao Yi watch over her sister, preventing other men from getting close.
“It’s nothing much, just a few candies.” Lu Yujin stood there, giving Tang Wanwan a gentle smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
Even Tang Wanwan, who was clueless about feelings, couldn’t help but be dazzled by Lu Yujin’s expression as he stood in the sunlight.
She thought to herself: She didn’t know what kind of fortune the original owner accumulated in a past life to deserve such special treatment from him.
Tang Wanwan was very perceptive, knowing that he was interested in her appearance and their past relationship, not the person she was now.
Today’s Lu Yujin had lost some of his youthful gentleness and gained more of a man’s grace.
His long hair was tied back with a ribbon, with beads at the ends that shimmered as he walked.
Others wearing a plain robe might look like villagers, but on him, it added a unique flavor.
At his waist hung a sachet Tang Wanwan had never seen before, giving off a faint mint scent as one approached him.
He wore soft boots, with the cuffs of his pants tucked into them, suitable for horseback riding.
Surely he must have looked splendid on horseback earlier.
He dressed up quite nicely today; she wondered what he was up to.
“Wow, is this your horse?
It’s magnificent.” Though Lu Yujin had many things by his side, Tang Wanwan was solely attracted to his horse.
She walked over, looking here and there around the horse, touching it, looking as if she wanted to ride but didn’t dare.
Yu Jin thought she would be surprised by the things he brought for her, but instead, she was quite the opposite.
He had dressed up especially today, and she didn’t even spare him a glance, her eyes going straight to the horse.
Ah, it seems I’m not as important as a horse.
But, Lu Yujin didn’t get angry.
He was already accustomed to Tang Wanwan’s character.
Her not chasing him out today was already good enough.
He then instructed the two people beside him, “Put the things in the house and then you can go back.”
“Yes, young master!” The two people moved the things into the house and quietly withdrew.
Over here, Tang Xiao Yi and Tang Xiao Rou discovered these things and were immediately astonished.
“Wow, so many things.”
“Not just these, but also this food.
Wow, buns, big meat buns.”
“Mom, mom…” Tang Xiaorou excitedly rushed inside to call Lady Chen.

“Why are you doing this?
You’re being so good to me that I feel useless.
Don’t do this anymore, this is the first and last time.”
Seeing Tang Wanwan a bit angry, Lu Yujin quickly explained, “You can consider this as me temporarily lending you Silver to buy these things.
You can pay me back when you’re better off.
We’re friends; I can’t just watch you and your family suffer from cold and hunger, can I?”
“And I heard your aunt caused trouble again.
Are you all okay?”
“Do I look like something happened?
I’m fine.” After saying that, Tang Wanwan went to look at the horse again.
She gently petted the horse with her hand, appearing quite happy.
Lu Yujin walked over to Tang Wanwan.
With his head down, he could see her soft hair and slender neck, stirring a protective feeling within him.
Thinking of the village gossip he heard about her family on their way back today, who could imagine how much this frail shoulder had to bear.
Yet here she was, smiling without any sign of trouble in her heart.
“If anything happens in the future, you can always find me.
Or go to my Aunt Qing, she will help you.” Actually, Lu Yujin wanted to ask about the relationship between her and the two people who helped her out of trouble.
Lu Yujin moved to Tang Family Village later, and since his arrival, Xu Xiao You stopped coming over, so he didn’t know the two of them.
