Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

When Lin Shu returned to the store, she was obviously absent-minded. She was serving porridge and it was spilled, and she was serving snacks. She didn't pay attention to the people in front of her, and she also scattered all the snacks on the plate on the guests.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shi quickly came over and wiped the guest's skirt with a handkerchief and said:

"Girl, I'm sorry, whatever snacks you like today are free."

Originally the girl wanted to get angry, but after hearing what Mrs. Shi said, she waved her hand and said:

"Forget it, remember to be careful next time."

Then he left with the snacks wrapped in thick layers of oil paper.

"Shu'er, why don't you get some rest?" Mrs. Shi asked with concern.

"Aunt, I'm fine." After Lin Shu finished speaking, she wanted to continue doing things, but Mrs. Shi stopped her.

"Shu'er, did something happen at home? Or did you have a quarrel with Su Yi?"

Lin Shu reluctantly smiled and said:

"Aunt, I'm fine! Maybe I'm just a little tired recently."

"In this case, let Mother Lin accompany you back to rest. There is a new shopkeeper in the store today, and your cousin-in-law and I are here, so you can go back and rest at ease."

Lin Shu looked at the busy people in the store and found that her condition was indeed not suitable for work.

"Auntie, Mother Lin will stay in the store. I can just go back by myself."

So Lin Shu went to the back hall to wash her hands, and then checked the porridge cooked by Mrs. Chen and others. She felt that there was no problem and left Xuyang Pavilion.

As soon as Lin Shu appeared on the street, Xiao Yan saw her with a smile of success on her face.

Lin Shu arrived at the door of the restaurant that Xiao Yan pointed to. She did not go in immediately, but lingered at the door for a while.

Lin Shu didn't understand that Su Yi told her yesterday that the purse she embroidered for Su Yi with her own hands had the peace charm that Lin Shu personally went to the temple to ask for, but the purse disappeared inexplicably.

Su Yi also confessed his mistake to Lin Shu for a while, saying that he couldn't find it and asked Lin Shu to make a new one. After all, he showed off to others every day the purse that his wife had sewn for him.

Lin Shu didn't understand why Su Yi's purse appeared on Xiao Yan. Lin Shu confirmed it when Xiao Yan paid. The purse in Xiao Yan's hand was the one she made for Su Yi.

Lin Shu knew Xiao Yan and he would not do meaningless things, but Xiao Yan's behavior made Lin Shu feel very abnormal. If something happened to Su Yi, how could his wallet be lost yesterday?But why is Xiao Yan looking for him inexplicably?

Lin Shu thought about it carefully. Except for the last banquet, she had nothing to do with Xiao Yan in this life. So why did Xiao Yan look for her?

Lin Shu couldn't figure it out and kept hesitating at the door of the restaurant whether to go in and see Xiao Yan.

In the compartment upstairs, Xiao Yan tapped his left fingers rhythmically on the table, calculating the time for Lin Shu to go upstairs. But when Xiao Yan estimated that it was almost the same, he opened his eyes and looked at the door, but did not find Lin Shu.

Xiao Yan muttered in his heart:

"Didn't I say hello to the people below? If someone comes to see me, I will bring them up directly. Why haven't they come up yet?"

Xiao Yan began to feel anxious. He couldn't see Lin Shu's hesitating figure at the door of the restaurant. He thought Lin Shu had already entered the restaurant and couldn't figure out why Lin Shu hadn't gone upstairs yet.

Xiao Yan had been planning for so long and now he was impatient.

"Didn't Lin Shu ask the clerk in the store where she was? She was looking for them one by one?"

Xiao Yan was thinking while instructing Wang Xiaowu to go downstairs.

"Xiao Wu, go down and take a look and bring Lin Shu up."

"Yes."

Wang Xiaowu came to the first floor and found Lin Shu standing at the door with her head lowered, wondering what she was thinking!

"Mrs. Su, my master has been waiting for you on the second floor for a long time."

Wang Xiaowu made an invitation gesture and motioned for Lin Shu to follow him.

When Lin Shu saw that Wang Xiaowu had come to call her, she stopped making random guesses in her mind. She planned to ask Xiao Yan directly what was going on and why Su Yi's purse was in Xiao Yan's hands.

Wang Xiaowu pushed open the door of the private room where Xiao Yan was located.

"Master, Miss Lin is here."

Wang Xiaowu is very smart. Xiao Yan just asked him to bring 'Lin Shu' up. When facing Xiao Yan, Wang Xiaowu called Lin Shu 'Miss Lin' instead of 'Mrs. Su'.

Xiao Yan put down his wine glass, glanced at Wang Xiaowu and said:

"Let her in."

As soon as Lin Shu came in, she saluted Xiao Yan.

"A commoner woman has met Mr. Xiao Guo."

Lin Shu's every word, every move was faultless.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh at himself when he heard Lin Shu's words "civilian woman". This was undoubtedly reminding Xiao Yan that Lin Shu was already Su Yi's wife.

"Without courtesy, 'Mrs. Su', please take a seat."

As Xiao Yan said this, he gave Wang Xiaowu a look and signaled Wang Xiaowu to go out.

Wang Xiaowu understood immediately, walked out of the private room, closed the private room door and stood guard at the door.

"Mr. Xiao Guo, please stop sitting down. I have a question for you. Where does this purse around your waist come from?" Lin Shu did not stand up, rejected Xiao Yan's kindness, and directly explained her purpose.

Xiao Yan walked up to Lin Shu with a folding fan, placed it on Lin Shu's left elbow, gave Lin Shu a hint of support, and signaled Lin Shu to get up.

In this case, Lin Shu had to get up first.

After Lin Shu stood up, Xiao Yan returned to his seat, looked Lin Shu up and down, picked up the wine glass and said to Lin Shu:

"There's no rush. I came to you because I have something else to talk about. 'Mrs. Su,' please sit down! Let's talk slowly." Xiao Yan motioned to Lin Shu to sit in the empty seat opposite him.

It had to be said that Xiao Yan was patient. He used Su Yi's wallet and went through such a big circle to get Lin Shu to come to him. But now he said he was in no hurry.

Lin Shu gritted her teeth, suppressed the doubts and worries in her heart, and sat opposite Xiao Yan.

As soon as Lin Shu sat down, she found that the snacks from Xuyang Pavilion were placed on the table, and she didn't understand what Xiao Yan wanted to do.

"I wonder what the Lord wants to do with a civilian woman? But what happened to my husband, Su Yi, in the officialdom?"

The only talking point between Lin Shu and Xiao Yan in this life was Su Yi, because Su Yi worked under Xiao Yan. Apart from Su Yi, Lin Shu could not imagine why Xiao Yan would go around in such a big circle to find her.

Xiao Yan patiently poured Lin Shu a glass of wine.

"'Mrs. Su', don't worry, why don't you have a drink with your father-in-law."

"Sorry, I'm recuperating my body, and the doctor has repeatedly told me not to drink alcohol."

Lin Shu wanted to have a child with Su Yi, so she had been taking care of her body after getting married. She hadn't found out that she was already one month pregnant.

Xiao Yan didn't intend to embarrass Lin Shu too much. After all, he didn't plan to find Lin Shu to drink with him.

Xiao Yan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the wine glass, he said:

"Lin Shu, long time no see!"

Lin Shu frowned and expressed confusion.

"Xiao Guogong, didn't we just meet at the wonton stall?"

"My Lord is talking about 'long time no see' in 'past and present life'."
