Chapter 246 How Did You Two Meet?

“Brother, let’s go to Zuixian Restaurant for lunch!” As Jiang Jiuchu finished speaking, Xiao Li immediately said,

“Okay, okay! I happen to be hungry, let’s go, let’s go quickly.”

“Go where? This prince will join you.” A voice came from behind them.

The group turned around at the sound and saw Shí Yuanchen appear behind them at some point.

Xiao Li asked, “When did you arrive?”

“I’ve been here for a while, standing behind you all along. It’s just that you didn’t notice me.”

He shook his head and said, “You people are too unguarded. If I hadn’t been watching behind you, the little silver in your purses would have been stolen by the thieves in the crowd long ago.”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiuchu and Xiao Li subconsciously reached out to touch the purses at their waists.

Seeing their reaction, Shí Yuanchen proudly said, “I told you, with me watching, who would dare to steal your silver right under my nose?”

“Let’s go! This prince will treat you to a feast at Xianpin Restaurant.”

Jiang Jiuche thought for a moment, then said to Jiang Jiuchu, “Then you guys go ahead, I rarely have a day off, I need to go back and spend time with your sister-in-law and niece.”

Jiang Jiuchu nodded, “Okay, then go back, brother.”

Xiao Li watched Jiang Jiuche’s departing figure and couldn’t help but sigh, “Jiuchu, where can I find a man like your brother? Alas, why didn’t I come to Kyoto sooner?”

“If I had come earlier, and your brother hadn’t been married yet, I would have gone all out to become your sister-in-law.”

Jiang Jiuchu looked at Xiao Li speechlessly, “Don’t, don’t, don’t, my brother belongs to my sister-in-law, he’s hers sooner or later, so don’t sigh about it.”

Shí Yuanchen pouted to the side, “Eating a meal with your wife and daughter is all it takes, what’s so difficult about that? I’ll definitely do better after I get married.”

“Today, I, your young master, will not only keep you company, but I’ll also provide plenty of silver.” As he spoke, he reached out to rummage in his purse.

However, he found nothing. His expression changed, and he immediately lowered his head, running his hands around his waist, but his purse was nowhere to be found.

He quickly looked around, a surge of anger rising in his head, and he shouted directly at the surroundings, “Which short-sighted little thief dares to steal this young master’s purse?”

But the thief was long gone, leaving only a crowd of people looking at him in astonishment.

He was so angry that he cursed at the surroundings, “Stealing this young master’s silver, may your sons be born without assholes.”

“Hehehehe.” Xiao Li laughed, then grabbed Jiang Jiuchu and left, “Let’s go, let’s go, a man’s meal is unreliable.”

Hearing this, Shí Yuanchen immediately lifted his foot to follow, “Hey, hey, aren’t you being unreasonable, woman? Wasn’t my silver stolen? I’m a victim too, okay? How is it unreliable?”

Xiao Li had a gloating look on her face, “Of course, being stolen is also a kind of unreliability. If you were reliable, how could you have been stolen from?”

Shí Yuanchen was furious upon hearing this, and just as he was about to retort, he suddenly thought of the way his seventh brother had shamelessly pestered his seventh sister-in-law before.

He rolled his eyes, then said, “If someone hadn’t attracted this prince’s attention, how could I have been stolen from?”

Jiang Jiuchu’s eyes flickered, then she smiled at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li coughed awkwardly and said, “You really know how to shift the blame.” Then she grabbed Jiang Jiuchu and walked quickly forward.

Inside Xianpin Pavilion, because they hadn’t reserved a private room in advance, they could only sit down at a table near the edge on the first floor.

Shí Yuanchen coughed and said to Xiao Li, who was ordering food, “Um, although my silver was stolen, I have this.”

As he spoke, he untied the jade pendant from his waist, “Order whatever you want, I’ll use this as collateral.”

Jiang Jiuchu smiled and said, “Quickly put your jade pendant away, I’m the one who wanted to come and eat today, so it’s my treat. If you want to treat, then do it next time.”

“Then thank you Seventh… thank you, I’ll treat next time.” As Shí Yuanchen spoke, he put away the jade pendant in front of him, thinking to himself, if he doesn’t call her Seventh Sister-in-law, he really doesn’t know what to call her for a moment.

Call her Miss Jiang? But they’re clearly so familiar, it’s not appropriate.

Call her Jiuchu? It feels a bit too intimate, but if he calls her by her full name, it feels a bit impolite.

Alas! It’s really too difficult for him.

Perhaps it was because there were so many people out today, Jiang Jiuchu and the others had only eaten halfway when Xianpin Restaurant was already packed and there wasn’t a single empty seat.

Outside Xianpin Restaurant, a black-clothed servant saw his young master suddenly stop and turn his head to look inside Xianpin Restaurant, and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Young master, what’s wrong?”

Sun Ce retracted his gaze, “Well, this young master is a little hungry, let’s have a meal here.”

Hearing this, the servant glanced inside Xianpin Restaurant, “Young master, I estimate there are no seats inside, why don’t we change to another place.”

“No need, this place will do.” As he spoke, he had already stepped over the threshold of Xianpin Restaurant.

He went inside and asked the waiter, “Waiter, are there any empty tables?”

“Sorry, young master, there are no empty tables right now, you may have to wait.” The waiter quickly finished speaking and walked towards the second floor with a tray.

Sun Ce nodded, then walked towards Jiang Jiuchu’s table, “Miss Jiang.”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiuchu turned her head and was immediately surprised, as if she hadn’t expected to meet Sun Ce here.

She quickly stood up and smiled, “Young Master Sun, what a coincidence, are you here to eat too?”

Sun Ce smiled and nodded, “Yes, I am, but I didn’t expect Xianpin Restaurant to be so crowded today, there isn’t a single empty table.”

As he spoke, he looked at Shí Yuanchen and Xiao Li and continued, “I wonder if I can share a table with Eighth Prince and the princess.”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiuchu sat down directly and said, “It’s okay, sit down, there’s exactly one seat left.”

“Thank you.” Seeing Jiang Jiuchu speak, Sun Ce sat down directly.

“Lord Sun, you know…Jiuchu?” Shí Yuanchen went all out, thinking that it’s okay to be intimate, he’ll just pretend to be following Xiao Li’s lead.

He had to ask, how did they meet? As far as he knew, this Sun Ce had always lived in seclusion, how could he know his seventh sister-in-law?

Something’s definitely not right, this Sun Ce doesn’t know him, doesn’t know Xiao Li, and came over to share a table, maybe he has some ulterior motives?

Hmph, he’s a man, he understands men’s little thoughts.

He had to find out clearly, and then report back to his seventh brother.

“Yes, I know her.” Sun Ce nodded, not intending to elaborate.

However, Shí Yuanchen didn’t intend to let it go, and just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Xiao Li spoke first.

“Jiuchu, why haven’t I ever heard you say that you know such a handsome young master?”

Jiang Jiuchu rubbed her forehead, thinking to herself, isn’t it normal that she didn’t say it? Why ask in front of the person like this? How should she answer?

She didn’t answer Xiao Li’s question, but instead asked Sun Ce, “Young Master Sun, what would you like to eat? I’ll order some for you.”

“Thank you, Miss Jiang, I can order myself.” As Sun Ce spoke, he gave a look to the servant standing beside him, and the servant immediately understood and left, not only ordering several dishes, but also paying for the table.
