Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Take Everything, Let My Wife Go Home and Choose Slowly...
Mu Yan glanced coldly at him, and Bai Chen said helplessly, "Alright, I’m going back now."
Bai Chen walked beside Mu Yan and whispered, "Big brother, you really nailed it. The woman I liked has now become my sister-in-law!"
Mu Yan ignored him, instead turning towards the Shopkeeper, "Clear all the private rooms on the second floor."
"Yes, Master!" the Shopkeeper nodded in agreement.
"Miss, please follow me to the Chiyan Hall," the Shopkeeper approached Zhan Lan and said respectfully.
He had never seen the Master entertain any lady before, and Miss Zhan was the first.
Those sitting in the main hall, upon hearing ’Chiyan Hall,’ exchanged glances.
The person who just thought Mu Yan had no interest in Zhan Lan murmured, "I was wrong, I take back what I said earlier."
Zhan Lan knew Mu Yan’s decisive nature, and her rebellious character suggested that if she didn’t stay for the meal, Mu Yan might actually have the chef deliver the delicacies to her home.
The hassle made staying easier!
Led by the Shopkeeper, Zhan Lan, along with Xiao Tao and Liu Xi, ascended the stairs.
Zhan Lan had never been to the second floor of Baoxiang House, so she did not know the significance of Chiyan Hall.
Chiyan Hall had never been open to the public; it was the domain of the Baoxiang House owner, said to cost thousands of silver per meal.
It was obvious now that Mu Yan was undoubtedly the owner of Baoxiang House.
But they dared only discuss this topic through their glances!
Who would dare say more? A head is a nice thing to have, especially when it sits on the neck.
Once Zhan Lan entered Chiyan Hall, she saw the room was elegantly decorated, undoubtedly reflecting Mu Yan’s taste.
It was not until ninety-nine more exquisitely prepared dishes were served that Zhan Lan realized how particular Mu Yan’s taste was.
Zhan Lan’s lips twitched, pondering how Mu Yan managed to eat the mushroom soup she made.
Listening to the Shopkeeper announce the dishes, Xiao Tao and Liu Xi were dumbfounded, sea cucumber, abalone, bird’s nest...
Ingredients they had never seen were transformed into gourmet dishes right before them.
Xiao Tao, smelling the aroma, swallowed her saliva and didn’t dare look at the dishes on the table.
Mu Yan naturally passed a bowl of bird’s nest to Zhan Lan, "I heard it’s good for women’s health, try it."
Zhan Lan took it awkwardly and boldly said, "This meal, I’ll treat Lord Mu!"
Unexpectedly, Mu Yan’s lips slightly curved upwards as he nodded, "Sure!"
Zhan Lan, surprised and happy that he was willing to let her pay, felt relieved as it lifted the burden of the cost.
She gestured to Xiao Tao and Liu Xi, "Let’s eat together!"
The two finally dared to sit down at a nearby table.
Mu Yan took a few bites and then stopped eating. Zhan Lan’s cheeks were round and puffed up like a hamster hoarding for winter.
After all, after the confrontation with Zhan Xuerou, her stomach had been protesting for a long time.
She took a sip of Lidu Wine and said, "Lord Mu, why have you stopped eating?"
Mu Yan had actually already eaten a meal with Bai Chen earlier. The Shopkeeper had informed him about the incidents happening below in Vermilion Bird.
Only then had he learned that Zhan Lan had been troubled by a little maid.
He knew that with Zhan Lan’s temperament, unless there was a special reason, that maid would not have an easy time.
However, he couldn’t bear to see Zhan Lan face even a slight grievance.
So he took action and taught the maid some lessons.
But, to eat another meal, he really couldn’t manage it, as he didn’t have the iron stomach of Zhan Lan.
Mu Yan looked at Zhan Lan’s belly, wondering how such a petite lady could eat so much without gaining weight. His gaze drifted upwards to her chest, causing his ears to turn red as he quickly averted his eyes.
It seemed she wasn’t very thin either.
Satisfied with the feast, a slightly tipsy Zhan Lan patted Mu Yan on the shoulder and said, "So this is your restaurant. I wish I had met you sooner."
Mu Yan looked at Zhan Lan’s slightly flushed cheeks, took the wine glass from her hand, and shook his head helplessly. "Drink less, you’ll be accompanying me to a place later!"
Zhan Lan waved her hand and took back the wine glass. "No, I want to go home and sleep soundly!"
Mu Yan held her shoulder and removed the wine glass from her hand, "You owe me, so you must come with me."
Zhan Lan looked at Mu Yan suspiciously, "What do I owe you?"
Mu Yan gave her a slightly reproachful look, "Aren’t you supposed to make me winter clothes? Have you picked the fabric? Do you know what kind of fabric I like?"
Right, the winter clothes for Mu Yan!
Zhan Lan guiltily responded, "Okay, I’ll buy it right now!"
Mu Yan watched her put down her chopsticks, and then stood up satisfied, "I’ll wait for you downstairs."
After finishing the meal, Zhan Lan, along with the content Xiao Tao and Liu Xi, took a carriage and followed Mu Yan’s to the best fabric shop in Ding’an City, Jinxiu Inn.
Mu Yan didn’t allow Xiao Tao and Liu Xi to follow; he only brought Zhan Lan inside.
The pair, attractive like golden boy and jade girl, instantly drew the attention of others as they walked.
Mu Yan enjoyed this kind of gaze because the person by his side was Zhan Lan.
The shopkeeper, recognizing the extraordinary aura and noble demeanor of the two, welcomed them warmly with a smile, saying, "Does this young master wish to pick fabrics for his lady? We have just received some Shu brocade, Song brocade, Yunjin..."
Zhan Lan didn’t even get the chance to clarify her relationship with Mu Yan.
Mu Yan found the shopkeeper’s comment to his liking, and he immediately responded with a smile, "Show us, please!"
The shopkeeper immediately led them to a table displaying dozens of brocades.
Brocade, a renowned patterned silk, as richly priced as gold; Zhan Lan felt the fabric, indeed top-notch.
She leaned towards a piece of Shu brocade and asked Mu Yan, "Do you like moon-white?"
Mu Yan wasn’t fond of white; he rarely wore moon-white clothing but if Zhan Lan liked it, he could accept it.
"Alright, take one piece," Mu Yan nodded.
The shopkeeper thought to himself, "Oh, it seems like the lady has the final say at home!"
Just as Zhan Lan thought it was settled, Mu Yan told the shopkeeper, "We’ll take all of these, let my lady spend time choosing at home."
The shopkeeper’s eyes widened in disbelief at the quantity of fabric and the silver it would cost.
This young master must be joking!
It wasn’t until Mu Yan threw the silver note in front of the shopkeeper that he came to his senses. Oh my, this young master is like a god of wealth!
Zhan Lan’s lips twitched; Mu Yan really had no shame!
Following the shopkeeper’s lead, he started calling her "my lady."
Zhan Lan frowned, "What do you need so much fabric for? I can only do my best to make one garment..."
Mu Yan nonchalantly said, "What if I change my mind after I go back and don’t want moon-white anymore? It’s more convenient this way!"
"Let’s go, my lady!" Saying so, Mu Yan pulled on Zhan Lan’s sleeve and walked outside.
In Jinxiu Inn, a woman, seeing Mu Yan pulling Zhan Lan, put down the fabric she was holding and closely followed the two.
