Chapter 323: Childish Two
Shen Li quietly walked out of the space with the dragon Bai Fan, and his wide sleeves just covered his figure.
At this moment, Bai Fan had turned into a delicate white jade bracelet, and others could not see any clues.
Shen Li stepped down from the carriage lightly, but Bai Fan couldn't contain his temper. He stuck a small head out from her sleeve, his black eyes rolling around, full of curiosity and excitement.
Seeing this, Shen Li quickly lowered her voice and warned nervously, "Don't move around. Be careful and cautious. Don't let anyone notice your presence. Otherwise, you will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Bai Fan seemed to understand what she said. He reluctantly retracted his head and transformed back into the jade bracelet. He replied in a muffled voice, "Oh!"
Seeing this, Shen Li couldn't help but raise her hand and gently stroke the jade bracelet. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she thought to herself: After Bai Fan transformed, he was a tall and handsome man, but his transformation technique was also amazing. He could transform into a cute little white snake, and also into a majestic big dragon. It was really interesting.
Her thoughts shifted, and she began to daydream: If we could open Fuxilou franchise stores in various places in the future, wouldn't it be quick and easy to deliver goods with Bai Fan's help? And if he were to be given a storage bag, it would be perfect!
Shen Li was immersed in her own fantasy, and a bright and beautiful smile gradually blossomed on her face. That smile was like the warm spring sun, bright and moving.
Just at this moment, Su Ran, who had just returned, raised his head inadvertently, and his eyes were immediately attracted by Shen Li's smile.
His hand unconsciously touched his chest, where his heartbeat suddenly accelerated and became louder.
This kind of scene was not the first time for him. Every time he saw Shen Li's bright smile, an irresistible urge would surge in his heart. He just hoped to hold her in his arms immediately, let that intoxicating smile bloom only for him from now on, and become his exclusive beauty.
After Shen Li had thoroughly figured out the subsequent operational ideas for Fuxilou, she felt as relaxed as a kite flapping its wings and soaring high in the spring.
She raised her head inadvertently, and her sight caught Su Ran standing not far away, dazed like a wooden sculpture or clay statue.
Su Ran's usually handsome and elegant face was now bluish purple, and with his dazed look, he looked a bit pitiful.
Shen Li was slightly startled at first when she saw him like this, but then she couldn't help but burst out laughing, with the corners of her mouth raised, she said with a bit of playfulness and ridicule: "Master Su, you should be more careful in your future actions. If you get disfigured by someone in this state, those girls in the village who adore you will be very sad!"
Su Ran was instantly brought back to reality by the sudden laughter. He blinked as if waking up from a dream. When he realized that he had been staring at Li'er in a trance, a blush quickly climbed up his cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye. The heat was like the scorching sun in summer, burning his cheeks.
He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm the waves in his heart. Then he looked at Shen Li gently. There was a gurgling stream in his eyes, gentle and firm: "What do those girls have to do with me? In my heart, there is only one person from beginning to end..."
When Shen Li heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, full of surprise and curiosity.
She couldn't wait to ask, "Master Su, so you have someone you love? Tell me, which girl is so lucky? When you get married, don't forget me, your friend. You must treat me to a drink at your wedding!"
Su Ran's eyes were tightly fixed on the girl in front of him, as if there were thousands of emotions lingering in them, lingering and affectionate. He opened his lips slightly and replied softly: "Okay, even if I forget the whole world at this wedding, I will never forget you." As soon as the words came out, he felt the heat on his face becoming more and more scorching, and his heart was beating like a deer.
He thought to himself: Li'er has already rejected Nangong Qi. Does this mean I have a chance? Perhaps, there will be a beautiful future between her and me...
Su Ran stood there quietly, the bruise on his face standing out in the sunlight. However, Shen Li, immersed in her own thoughts, only had eyes for Su Ran's gentle expression and those meaningful words just now, and didn't even notice the abnormality on his face.
Her eyes were clear and bright, and she stared at Su Ran closely with a bit of curiosity and anticipation, her mind full of guessing who the woman was who could make Master Su fall in love with her, so much so that she ignored the obvious signs that were so close to her.
The sun shone down as the two stood facing each other quietly. The girl's smile was like the flowers blooming in spring, brilliant and bright, and her cheerful aura seemed to dispel all the haze around them.
At this moment, Nangong Qi, who was walking back after saying goodbye to Nangong Heng, suddenly stopped.
His eyes were fixed on Shen Li. Seeing her smiling so charmingly at Su Ran, his heart suddenly burned with jealousy as if dry firewood had been ignited.
The flames of jealousy instantly devoured his reason, causing him to unconsciously clench his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. The only thought in his mind was to rush over and teach Su Ran, whom he hated, a lesson, and then have a big fight with him to vent his hatred.
However, just as he raised his foot to take a step, it was as if an electric current passed through his mind. He suddenly seemed to remember something. His eyes rolled and his face instantly changed to an expression of extreme aggrievedness.
He shouted at Shen Li: "Ali! Look at me! I was beaten into this state by this hateful man! You must be careful, don't be deceived by the appearance of this hypocrite, he is not a good person at all!"
There was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, as if he had really suffered a great injustice, and his eyes glanced at Su Ran from time to time, concealing a hint of pride and provocation.
Su Ran heard Nangong Qi's shouting, and a flash of surprise crossed his face. He then quickly turned around, quickly sorted out his expression, and put on his usual gentle and elegant appearance. He bowed to Nangong Qi with a slow and graceful movement, and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Nangong, what happened today was indeed my inconsiderateness and offense. I sincerely apologize to you."
After saying this, he calmly took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Nangong Qi, continuing, "This is the Jade Face Cream specially made by the genius doctor in my mansion. It is extremely effective in healing bruises and injuries. I hope you will accept it as a token of my apology."
Nangong Qi's face became even angrier when he saw this. He seemed to have his reverse scale touched. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Su Ran's hand away. The force was so great that the porcelain bottle almost fell.
He said angrily, "I don't want your stuff! Stop being so hypocritical!"
After saying that, he took a big step and walked to Shen Li in two or three steps. Without saying anything, he pulled Shen Li's still dazed hand and put it directly on his face, muttering: "Li'er, feel it yourself, your face has been swollen so high because of him beating you, it really hurts!"
Shen Li was a little overwhelmed by this sudden situation. Before she could say anything, Su Ran's face changed instantly. He stepped forward without hesitation and slapped Nangong Qi's hand away with a bit of urgency and toughness.
Then, he took advantage of the situation and pulled Shen Li behind him, his eyes full of vigilance and protectiveness, and said loudly: "Nangong Qi, don't use this as an excuse to touch A Li, I will never allow it!"
Shen Li stood where she was, watching the two men fighting each other, and couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart: These two guys are simply too scary, they are still not stopping even after being beaten black and blue!
She shook her head helplessly, and during the gap between the two men's confrontation, she noticed Chu Qiu and two maids carrying a wooden basin, staggering and seemingly struggling.
Shen Li's eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior. Without a word, she shook off Su Ran's hand and ran over as fast as the wind, shouting as she ran, "We caught so many again today! Hurry up and pack them up! I'm starving!"
Her words were filled with eager joy, as if the farce just now had nothing to do with her.
When Nangong Qi and Su Ran heard Shen Li's cry, they simultaneously turned their gaze away from each other and glared at their opponent fiercely. Their eyes seemed to carry real sparks, as if declaring their ownership of Shen Li.
Then, almost at the same time, they both let out a loud "humph" from their noses, with a hint of unwillingness to be outdone. Then, without hesitation, they took big strides and walked quickly in the direction of Shen Li, shouting in unison: "Ali/Li'er, I'm here to help you!"
The two people's voices intertwined and collided in the air, both trying to drown out the other with their own volume, and their footsteps became more and more rapid, as if they were engaged in an invisible competition, and they were afraid of falling behind and being overtaken by the other.
The little koi fish, which had been wandering around bored today, quietly returned to the carriage. Seeing that Shen Li seemed to have forgotten about it, and with nothing to do, it lay down in the carriage and began to snore.
