Chapter 531 Worried about A-Yue
Seeing Xu Yiyi's actions, Qingshan smiled knowingly.
"I forgot to mention, you don't drink."
After saying that, he called someone to serve Xu Yi a cup of longan and red date tea, which also contained small glutinous rice balls.
It tastes sweet.
If nothing happens, she might even enjoy it.
But right now...
Xu Yiyi scooped up some of the dumplings with a spoon and then put them down.
"What's wrong? You look so worried." Qingshan gently put down his wine glass and looked around.
Finding that no one was paying attention, he immediately leaned over and whispered, "Are you unhappy? You did this to Lin..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yiyi glared at him.
"Uncle Qingshan, you're so old, why are you still so gossipy?" Xu Yiyi said irritably.
"I'm so young, yet I'm attracted to an older man who's a full twelve years my senior? I'm incredibly lucky."
Although the term "old man" isn't quite the right word, Lin Ke is indeed older than her.
"Then what are you so worried about?"
Qingshan's voice was as loud as a bell, full of energy. Knowing that Xu Yiyi wasn't interested in Lin Ke, he spoke much louder.
Xu Yi glanced at him. "I'm worried about A-Yue. The pirates are coming."
She spoke calmly, watching Sanchuan and Sihai embrace Wuyuan in the southwest corner as they watched the parade perform magic tricks.
Three similar little faces uttered the same smile.
"what?"
Aoyama let out a startled cry.
"Keep your voice down, as if you're afraid others won't know?" Xu Yi tapped the table with her hand.
Aoyama covered his mouth, glanced around, and seeing that everyone else was still immersed in the joy of the wedding banquet, he let go of his mouth and continued to speak in a low voice.
"You're not kidding?" Aoyama looked at her seriously.
"This is no laughing matter! If they really come, A-Yue and the naval commanders have already stopped them in the waters thirty nautical miles away. Haven't you seen that Zhao Cheng has vanished without a trace?"
Upon hearing this, Qingshan immediately looked around.
"Hey! The person really is gone." Instantly, Qingshan's brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
"This is bad. Three of my merchant ships were scheduled to enter the port today to unload their cargo, and they were going to take the usual waterway to the south."
Qingshan gestured with his hand, "If we don't go far, we'll run into those damned bastards..."
The thought of this made him start cursing.
"The coconuts and sheep you wanted are all on this ship. When those pirates see such fat sheep, won't they be like vicious dogs seeing shit, biting and refusing to let go?"
"Don't worry so much, the navy has already gone to intercept them. The sea is vast, and you may not even encounter them."
Goods can be bought again if they run out, and money can be earned back if it's gone. What she's worried about is A-Yue.
The girl went back to town a few days ago during her vacation and spent all her time running around with Sihai. She fell on the rocky beach and hurt her hand, which is still bruised and swollen.
Unfortunately, her greatest skill was archery.
My hand hurt so much I could barely lift it, let alone draw a bow and shoot an arrow.
The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.
Just as he was worrying about this, Lin Ke also discovered that Zhao Cheng was missing.
Xu Yiyi quickly stepped forward.
"Congratulations! My lord, you have finally won the heart of your beauty today."
Lin Ke lowered his eyes and smiled, "Hey! Can you see where Zhao Cheng went?"
He said this with a puzzled expression.
Xu Yi paused for a moment, then said, "Maybe... he went to that corner to drink?"
She said it casually.
But Lin Ke's smile vanished instantly. He walked steadily through the crowd, and the once noisy banquet fell silent for a moment because of his sudden change in demeanor.
