Chapter 362: A Good Suggestion
s.h.i.+ Yi was right. She could not entangle Yun Ting too tightly.
For the past half a month, she had tried her best to suppress the joy and enthusiasm in her heart and try to appear cold. He would come over to talk to her from time to time.
During this period of time, besides being happy, she also thought a lot.
She did not know if Yun Ting was just used to her pestering him and that her sudden coldness made him uncomfortable, or if he really had her in his heart.
She did not dare to confirm this or inquire personally. She was afraid that the outcome would be the same as before.
“Miss Fu, do you want to stay in the government office, the Thousand Leaf Inn with us, or the Chu Mansion with Brother Chu?”
s.h.i.+ Yi’s voice pulled Fu Sisi back to reality.
She smiled. “I think I’ll stay at the government office.”
She did not like Fu Ting, which was also Mdm Chu, since she was young.
Hence, she naturally would not rush to make things difficult for herself.
She did not want to go to the Thousand Leaf Inn either. She felt that she and Yun Ting needed some time and distance to confirm some things.
During this period of time, besides feeling excited and happy, she also felt a little uneasy.
She was afraid that Yun Ting did not have the same feelings for her.
If he really didn’t, she needed time to digest and prepare herself.
It was the answer he expected, but Yun Ting still felt uncomfortable.
He looked at s.h.i.+ Yi and said, “Let’s go to the inn and take a look.”
s.h.i.+ Yi could tell that he was in a bad mood and could only nod slightly.
After bidding Chu Sihan and Fu Sisi farewell, the two of them left.
Fu Sisi stared at the departing back of the carriage in silence.
Chu Sihan glanced at her and said lightly, “Let’s go. I’ll send you in.”
“Yes.”
Fu Sisi retracted her gaze and followed Chu Sihan and Chu Yun into the government office.
They thought that Fu Xianyun and Yu Linglong would be there. Unexpectedly, Constable w.a.n.g said that Fu Xianyun and Yu Linglong had gone to the Lu family’s restaurant early in the morning and had not returned yet.
Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “Huang Yang Town has been very peaceful recently?”
In the past, when Magistrate Shangguan was in office, there were numerous murder cases. Why did Fu Xianyun have so much free time every day now that he was in office?
“More or less!” Constable w.a.n.g said respectfully, “Other than some trivial matters, there’s no big case.”
Fu Xianyun rarely cared about these small matters. Sometimes, he would just hand them over to his advisor or Constable w.a.n.g.
“He’s quite relaxed in his position.”
Compared to Fu Xianyun, he had to go through a murder case even during the new year. Hence, his tone was inevitably a bit jealous.
Constable w.a.n.g looked at him in surprise. He laughed dryly and did not dare to speak.
Fu Sisi covered her mouth and giggled. She teased him. “Cousin, why don’t you return to Huang Yang Town to be the county magistrate and let my brother be the magistrate at Lin Jiang Mansion?”
“That’s a good suggestion.”
Chu Sihan looked at her and said lightly, “You can speak for Cousin and Uncle and let him make a suggestion to the Emperor.”
If possible, he was very willing.
Fu Sisi pouted. “I’m not going.”
Chu Sihan’s position was not easy to obtain. If he was directly transferred from the magistrate to become the county magistrate, how would others look at him?
“Miss Fu, you’re so funny!”
Constable w.a.n.g wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Chu Sihan looked at him and said, “Get someone to bring her to rest first. I’ll return to the Chu Mansion first.”
“Yes!”
Constable w.a.n.g had just agreed when he heard Fu Sisi say, “There’s no need for that. Get someone to move my things back, then bring me to the Lu family’s restaurant.”
She also wanted to visit the Lu family’s restaurant.
