Chapter 178
Liu Yizhu and Li Mingwei had a bit of an unpleasant dispute, but they had to maintain a smiling facade in public. After the banquet ended, they bid farewell to Ya Yin and returned to the carriage, and Liu Yizhu's expression immediately fell.
Li Mingwei squeezed next to Ah Xiu and whispered, "I just saw them dancing, they seemed to be having a great time, didn't they?"
Ah Xiu shook her head. She was standing behind Li Mingwei, so she could only see the back of her head and couldn't tell if she was really happy. But Ah Xiu herself was having a great time watching the dance.
She excitedly said, "Miss, that lead dancer was truly amazing! It's a pity you didn't get to see it. What could you have been discussing with Murong Yu for so long? What a waste of money!"
Liu Yizhu also wanted to ask this question, silently staring at Li Mingwei.
"What could I possibly have to discuss with him?" Li Mingwei gave Ah Xiu a meaningful glance. "It's about that matter."
Ah Xiu understood in an instant, nodding and disdainfully saying, "He has no shame, still daring to bring it up. He just wants to take advantage of us. We shouldn't even bother with him."
"There's no way I would bother with him."
"Of course, our Miss is no longer so naive."
Li Mingwei slowly turned her head and glared at Ah Xiu. "What do you mean by that?"
"No, no, I misspoke." Ah Xiu hurriedly waved her hands. "I meant that Miss, you've become more sensible now."
"Is there a difference?"
Ah Xiu sheepishly said, "Is there a difference?"
Li Mingwei gave Ah Xiu a hard punch, then sat back down next to Liu Yizhu, clinging to his arm with a disgruntled expression, glaring at Ah Xiu. She was truly the most lowly of all the young ladies!
Ah Xiu was at a loss, but knowing she was in the wrong, she pulled the carriage curtain and hid outside.
Seeing that Liu Yizhu was still silent, Li Mingwei nudged him. "Husband~"
Liu Yizhu ignored her.
Li Mingwei let go of his arm and said glumly, "Can't you be like this? I'm only in the Capital City for a few days, and you're getting angry more often than in previous years."
Back when she was in the Capital City before, her days were dull, so she had to find some entertainment from time to time.
"I was just looking, I didn't do anything."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Liu Yizhu tightly gripped her wrist, gritting his teeth as he said, "Do you know what you're saying?"
"What did I say?"
Seeing her innocent eyes, Liu Yizhu let go of her hand and turned his back to her. "Forget it, you're infuriating me!"
"Why are you getting angry? Sister Chunhua said before that widows have a lot of troubles, I don't want to be a widow." Li Mingwei lightly kicked him. "Husband~"
Liu Yizhu turned back, reluctantly responding.
"Don't you dare not answer me next time."
"You!" Liu Yizhu pulled her into his embrace, tightening his hold a bit. "Don't you ever say those things to me again."
"Say what?"
"Don't play dumb!" Liu Yizhu had long since seen through her. "Your heart is as clear as a mirror."
"Okay, I know." Li Mingwei gently stroked his slightly angry face. "I'm sorry, let's make up, okay? I promise I won't talk nonsense anymore, just calm down."
"So, are you still going to see the dancer?"
"No more, no more, never again."
"And you still have so much to say with your ex-husband?"
"No more, I've said everything today."
Seeing her attitude was still somewhat sincere, Liu Yizhu reluctantly forgave her. "You'd better keep your word."
"Don't worry." Li Mingwei obediently nodded, then glanced at him. "Aren't you going to ask me who Yuerong is?"
"I know, she's surnamed Lin, right?" Liu Yizhu pinched her little face. "Don't listen to their nonsense, I've only seen her at the poetry gathering a couple of times."
"Only twice and you still remember her?"
"My memory is good, has nothing to do with whether it's her or not." Liu Yizhu raised an eyebrow. "I not only remember her, I also remember your mother. What you said is completely different, I'm even a bit doubtful if you're really surnamed Li."
Li Mingwei chuckled. "Coincidentally, my mother also remembers you."
Liu Yizhu paused. "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
"You'll know when you go see her."
