After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 23

Although Yun Dan couldn’t help but complain inwardly, she could only grumble to herself.

This time, however, Xiao Yueqing didn’t torment Yun Dan as expected. Instead, after letting her eat breakfast, he took her out.

This was the first time Yun Dan had contact with the outside world since arriving here.

At this moment, Yun Dan was sitting in a carriage, looking at the bustling street outside and couldn’t help but cheer.

“Wow, it’s so lively here! I didn’t expect there would be so many people this early. I’m really happy. Thank you for being willing to bring me out. Master, you’re so good to me. You don’t know how I almost suffocated in the manor. Now I can finally see the outside world.”

Xiao Yueqing just raised his head and glanced at the street outside.

Looking at Yun Dan’s jubilant expression, which didn’t seem fake at all, Xiao Yueqing felt very puzzled.

“It’s just an ordinary street. What’s so different about it that makes you this happy? Haven’t you seen one before?”

Without thinking, Yun Dan blurted out, “I’ve never been here before, so where would I have seen it? The streets where we come from are bustling too, but not like this. I still prefer yours here.”

Xiao Yueqing frowned. “What? ‘You’ and ‘we’?”

Xiao Yueqing had always found Yun Dan’s behavior, mannerisms, and way of speaking very strange.

But at that time, Xiao Yueqing hadn’t considered other possibilities.

When he received Yue Po’s investigation results, he only had some doubts about whether the investigation was wrong.

Now, these strange words that Yun Dan spoke made Xiao Yueqing couldn’t help but become suspicious.

Could it be that she’s not from here?

Perhaps she’s someone who infiltrated from another country?

No matter how well-informed Xiao Yueqing usually was, he couldn’t possibly guess Yun Dan’s true identity.

He made a mental note of it but didn’t question Yun Dan.

The carriage stopped when it reached a teahouse.

At some point, Xiao Yueqing had put on a bamboo hat. When Yun Dan turned around, she only then noticed his attire.

“I say, Master, you’re already wearing a mask, so why do you need to wear a bamboo hat too? People can’t tell what you look like at all. You don’t need to disguise yourself this much, do you?”

“What do you know? Who doesn’t know what I look like when I wear a mask? Do you want me to go out and scare them to death? Today we’re here to gather some information, so naturally we can’t let too many people know. Hurry up and follow me, and put on your veil too.”

Xiao Yueqing casually threw a veil to Yun Dan.

Although Yun Dan didn’t know what Xiao Yueqing wanted to do, she obediently put on the veil.

After all, this person was not only her creditor but also her master.

Moreover, her life was still in his hands, so she’d better not defy him.

After Yun Dan also put on the veil, Xiao Yueqing led her off the carriage and into a teahouse.

When the shopkeeper saw the two, he immediately came over with a beaming smile.

“Are you two guests here to drink tea?”

Xiao Yueqing casually threw him a gold ingot and said, “A private room on the second floor, bring up a pot of your finest tea. Also, she likes sweets, so bring up more pastries.”

The shopkeeper naturally wouldn’t have any problem with money.

Taking the gold, he was all smiles, nodding and bowing repeatedly, “Yes, yes, yes, please go upstairs first. I’ll bring you tea and pastries right away.”

Yun Dan followed Xiao Yueqing upstairs. After entering the private room, she couldn’t help but complain, “Why are you so generous with money? You just directly gave gold. Although I know you’re very rich, Master, frugality is a virtue. A pot of tea and some pastries shouldn’t cost that much money. You’re simply being a sucker.”

Who knew that Xiao Yueqing would say something that almost made Yun Dan spit blood.

“So what? I have money and I’m happy to spend it. If you had money and didn’t spend it like this, I definitely wouldn’t say anything.”

Great, showing off wealth, are we?

I’m ignoring you!

What Yun Dan wanted to say more was: Although I know you’re especially rich, could you not always show off in front of me? It’s very hurtful.

Probably because Xiao Yueqing gave enough money, the service speed was incredibly fast.

Not long after they sat down, a pot of good tea was brought over, along with several plates of pastries.

Yun Dan wasn’t particularly hungry originally, but when she saw these things, she still rubbed her hands together and picked up a piece to taste.

“Wow, these pastries are really delicious. Don’t you want to try some?”

Xiao Yueqing shook his head and pushed all the pastries in front of her.

“You eat them. I’m not hungry. You’re still a child after all.”

“Compared to you, of course I’m a child. After all, you’re ten years older than me. But it’s okay, you’re not old anyway, so you don’t need to worry too much about it. I won’t mind that you’re old.”

Xiao Yueqing immediately shot her a cold glare.

“What did you say?”

Yun Dan immediately wisely shut her mouth.

“By the way, we didn’t come here just to treat me to food, did we? Are we waiting for someone here?”

Xiao Yueqing took a sip of tea and said, “You’re not too stupid after all. Otherwise, with your intelligence, I’d really be worried that once you enter Mingyue Manor, you wouldn’t be able to get out.”

Yun Dan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“I admit that although I may look like I have average qualifications, you shouldn’t look at me with strange eyes. I’m a grown person, and Mingyue Manor isn’t a maze, so how could I not be able to get out once I go in? Besides, Dongfang Wuchen isn’t some great evil person who wouldn’t let me leave. By the way, what exactly are we looking at?”

The curtain of the private room was lifted, and only then did Yun Dan see a young man in white clothes below.

This figure from behind looked like he should be quite good-looking.

However, when the young man in white turned around, Yun Dan was stunned.

“This, this, this… isn’t this Dongfang Wuchen? Oh my, he’s so handsome, simply a hundred times better looking than the portrait!”

Although the original portrait wasn’t very realistic, Yun Dan recognized him at first glance.

She had thought Dongfang Wuchen was good-looking, but she hadn’t expected him to be this good-looking.

Seeing her so surprised, Xiao Yueqing inexplicably felt uncomfortable.

“Is he really that good-looking?”

“Yes! A graceful and elegant young man, with unparalleled beauty that has no equal in the world. What a fine young gentleman! His temperament is truly first-class. I really don’t understand how he’s still single.”

At these words, Xiao Yueqing’s face darkened even more.

Is Dongfang Wuchen considered good-looking?

Hmph, this little girl probably hasn’t seen the most handsome face yet.

“Don’t worry, when you have the chance to see me someday, you’ll discover that someone like Dongfang Wuchen won’t even catch your eye.”

“By the way, Master, you brought me to see Dongfang Wuchen to make me remember his face so I can get close to him later?”

Yun Dan’s brain wasn’t quite up to the task at this point, so she could only think of this much.
