Chapter 6
When ShangDe hurriedly return to Ding Xiang as soon as he bought the tofu, he saw someone was carrying her collar, and about to throw her out of the restaurant like a abandoned kitten and puppy.
It was most unbearable for a man who had already regarded her as his heart.
"You dare to throw her!?"
A loud anger screaming voice, scared away a dog on the street, and frightened others passing by.
Ding Xiang closed her eyes and fell like her body about to fall forward. When she suddenly heard the voice of the savior, she quickly opened her eyes and saw ShangDe's angry face.
"ShangDe, help!"
The rough man who caught her earlier was afraid of the tall and mighty ShangDe stood in front of him.
After all, if he wanted to fight, he would have better to find someone who was equally the same as himself, instead of bullying someone who was smaller than him.
Besides, although this little woman was dressed in old clothes, but the big tanned man was dressed in a high-class Chinese suit.
Though the rough man has just arrived here to work for a short time, but he knew what kind of clothes of high-rank families in Han City are wearing.
"Who are you?" As soon as he let go, Ding Xiang immediately rushed to ShangDe, and naturally he held her tightly next to him.
"I'm her man"
Her man? Ding Xiang lightly raised her head tolook at him, and suddenly felt that he was not only cute and naive like Sean Lau, but instead evolved to be Takeshi Kaneshiro.
She likes men especially who stand in front of her fearlessly and protective.
She didn't expect that the big landlord with high social status had such imposed which made her full of courage suddenly.
It's really like a bodyguard .... Wait, it's not right to call people bodyguard, he's a Master..
"He actually said that I had no money to eat, and asked me to show him the silver first before ordering, otherwise he would not prepare anything." Ding Xiang complained..
ShangDe's eyes immediately went cold, as if he has red laser light in the eyes and able to strike and kill the rough man instantly.
"Who said you have no money? Who said that you will eat without paying?"
"Me! How then?" said the rough man and slightly raised his chest.
Oh .... You're really looking for trouble.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately knocked on the back of his head and turn his body behind, "Ah─! ..Boss ... "
"Are you stupid!? Speak to Master Sima in such a tone, do you still want to live?" Seeing a middle-aged man smile embarrassedly said to Sima ShangDe: "Mr. Sima, welcome. There must be a long way for you, I will ask someone to prepare first-class room for Mr. Sima. Please, come in."
Ding Xiang was still very angry and did not want to go in, but ShangDe asked her with his eyes – 'if you don't like here, it is okay. We can change and go for another restaurant.'
But she was so hungry so she didn't want to change anymore. Besides, the food in this restaurant was super appetizing for her, despite the poor service attitude.
She has a big landowner to lean on now, of course she can look up and walk ahead proudly.
ShangDe naturally followed.
The shopkeeper took a big breath of relief when he saw the two people go in. Then he scolded to the guy who almost ruined the restaurant. "If you offended Mr. Sima, you are going to walk out this place by rolling yourself over on the floor."
"What's so great about him? It's just some few stinky family money." The rough man had just came from a foreign country and didn't understand important of ShangDe in Seoul.
"Stinky money? Do you know that his fortune alone can already make all the people in Seoul don't have to work, and it is no problem at all for not doing anything even for your next three generations? Such a wealthy man entered the door, and you still dare to push them away. Do you really not knowing the taste of dying?"
"I don't know that woman whom dressed weirdly had something to do with him. Shouldn't the rich woman be wearing some silver and gold jewelries?"
"This is the most unexpected part! Since the last incident, no woman has ever appeared next to him. Some people say that he may not marry from that day on, and now he seems to care about this little woman. Looking at his fiery appearance earlier, this woman must be very special to him. You better serve the girl carefully, if you make Mr. Sima angry again, you just pack your bag, go home and *eat yourself " The shopkeeper ordered.
- - [T/N: *Eat yourself - Got sacked/Fired]
"Yes."
The shopkeeper's speculation was indeed correct. Once the rectification was over, they wholeheartedly making Ding Xiang's to be happy and ensure she enjoyed a good meal.
Ding Xiang even ordered the guy who had offended her earlier to stand by the side and tell her jokes. If the jokes aren't funny, he would be threatened by ShangDe. It was really miserable.
The happier she smiled, the more money ShangDe would spend, and the happier the shopkeeper is.
So at the end everyone is so happy!
＊＊＊＊＊
"Are you full?" ShangDe asked the person who is laying on the bed comfortably.
After Ding Xiang had eaten enough and smell sweet after bathe, Ding Xiang looked sleepy with satisfaction and nodded her head.
He didn't want her to go back alone to the dark and shabby room. He was worried only by safety issues, so he arranged for her to stay at the most expensive and luxury room in the inn.
"It's so full." She touched her belly, and a small arc shape was bulging on her little tummy, but this is the most joyful and happiest meal that she ever eaten since she came to ancient times. "Master, you're so good to me."
He blushed at her words.
"Why are you so kind to me?" Ding Xiang asked curiously.
"Because you are good to me!" Cause you saved my life! He thought.
"You are so nice to me, aren't you afraid of your wife being jealous?"
Ancient people usually got married very early, and he is from big family. He must have been married with at least three to four wives.
"I don't have a wife."
"Why?"
"To tell you the truth, because my appearance didn't look too pleasing to girls."
"No! I think you look good!" She was confused, and thinking her mind: Who was that girl who didn't have eye-ball and disliked him? Is she blind?
"Don't comfort me."
"Why should I comfort you? I'm just telling the truth. You tell me why you feel inferior about yourself?"
Actually, that was the pain he had never wanted to mention to anyone, and he didn't allow anyone to mention either. He would be furious if anyone wanted to bring it up again but when he saw Ding Xiang's curious expression, instead of being angry, he was moody.
Come, tell mama..
"Because my ex-fiancée doesn't like me. She likes her childhood sweetheart since young. That man is very handsome and gentle. He's not as dark and rough as me. I don't have any gesture like a beautiful man, and don't know how to be romantic and sing love poetry."
"That's why your ex-fiancée had hurt you and made you humble yourself until now?"
He was silent.
What a pitiful man. He looked like he will not break by the storm, but the heart is as fragile as glass.
Ding Xiang reached out and clapped his big hand, "That stupid woman didn't really hate you, but wanted to make you look ugly so that she could be with her childhood lover. But she was so stupid and used the lamest method to reject you. That's her problem, not your fault."
"But all the girls in the whole Han City didn't dare to marry me because they were afraid, I would beat my own wife because I looked fierce and serious."
"Really?"
But he wouldn't do that to her!
"You don't hate me, do you?"
"If I hate you, I won't even talk to you!"
His face was red again. She had never seen a man who blushed more than herself. But she found it not annoying at all but actually cute.
His ex-fiancée is a dumb woman. Such a rich and decent man is a treasure in modern times!
"You can stay in the inn first, it's safer to have more people around."
"Are you afraid that something will happened to me?" She asked jokingly, lying on the bed and looking at him with her innocent and unknowing big eyes. She didn't know what that man in front of her wanted to do to her.
When she patted her tummy, he looked at her curvy body beneath her thin clothes. The shape of her chest was revealing because of the pat. He started to imagine how tempting she would be if he would take off that cloth ...
He felt his breathing quicken, like air in the room was not enough for him.
He quickly walked to the window and opened it. Let the cool night breeze outside the window blow away some of the heat.
He must hold back and gain her trust in him, not letting her down..
"I'll be cold later!"
"Oh! I'll close it right away." He quickly closed the opened window..
"Big Landowner ......"
"My name is Sima ShangDe."
"We all eat together and spend your money. Why still call you the Sima ShangDe? It's too unfamiliar, so I will call you big landowner."
"Does this have any significant meaning? "
"It's a Nickname! Only my special friends will have this, and other people I will call them Mister or Miss.. "
"I see."
So this means that he is also special to her.. ?
"Big Landowner, come here." Her little hand waved, motioning for him to come.
He obediently walked over.
"Sit down."
"This is not right ...... Men and women ......"
"Alright, your choice. Just stand then."
He immediately sat down, "What's the matter?"
"Are we friends?"
"Yes."
"Take the money out She pointed out with her fair little hand.
"Ah?" He stared at the little hand stupidly, thinking that if her little hand wanted to touch his body ...
Sima ShangDe, how can you full of lust and desire!
"Friends are always there for each other. I'm poor now, will you kind enough to show a little bit friendship loyalty and lend me some please?"
He took out his silver notes and silver coins. "It doesn't matter if the money is given to you, I will pay for whatever you eat and live."
"I'm a girl."
"and then?"
Really blur guy ...
"I would like to go and buy some new and beautiful clothes, otherwise you will lose face if your friends look poor like beggar, right?"
"Hmm ...." It seems to make sense.
"Will you come to see me tomorrow?"
"Yes, of course."
He answered too quickly, and she immediately looked at him cautiously.
"All this money ... I will pay you back. It's not my intention to betray you, you must not think wrongly about this."
The words are to be said first, but she is pure and clean, and a good girl who has not been abducted by other bad men.
"Of course, I won't think that way!" He said.
She tooted her mouth, "That's good."
She continued to count the silver coins and silver notes that he put on the bed, like a little girl playing with stones.
Obviously, her eyes were shining with light, and she did not hide the expression of seeing lots of money with her opened eyes, but that wouldn't make him feel disgusted at all.
He also wondered if he would take her to his vault, there are a lot of silver in it. She would be even happier.
He found that she would have this habit- toot her lovely little mouth, and her red lips were soft and tender, which reminded him of her kissing taste before.
She was the first girl he kissed, that was his first kiss ...
Just thinking about it, his body leaned forward unconsciously, and he was about to kiss her red, tender and lovely cherry lips ...
"What do you want to do?" She asked softly with her eyes wide open. She moved herself backward, leaning against the head of the bed spontaneously, waking up his impure fantasy.
"N_ nothing ..." He quickly composed himself, blushed and said, "Take a rest! Don't worry about anything, I will take care of it."
Aww ─ What a romantic statement. It can be elected as number one woman wants to hear from man.
She suddenly pulled his neck over impulsively and gave him a passionate kiss.
"If I meet you in another era, I will marry you." She regretfully said the truth.
＊＊＊＊＊
Marry you ... Marry you ... Marry you ...
These words linger in ShangDe's mind constantly, making him flutter and happy. Even the servants who are looking at Master's face, whispering to each other about the smile on his face.
A figure slowly walked to the servants by the side. They saw the figure, and quickly dismissed the discussion.
It's really strange, Yan Hong looked at the moon in the sky.
It's still round shape! It hasn't changed, but why does his baby boy always smile at the moon?
"Son, is the moon really funny?"
"Mother." As soon as his mother appeared, ShangDe immediately respectfully saluted, "Didn't you go to bed yet?"
Yan Hong sat down and ShangDe immediately poured a cup of tea for her.
"I heard people in the town saying that you took a girl to eat a lot of expensive food, and you helped the girl arrange to live in the most advanced room. Who is that girl?"
"Mother ... "
Uh huh .... Such a long time he called his mother this way, there must be something behind... Yan Hong knew her son too well.
"She is a good friend."
"I know your friends, none of them are women." She added, "Don't tell me that one of them is a man dressed as a woman."
"Shouldn't I have the rights to make friends?"
"I'm not saying you cannot make friends, but don't you forget your identity and be careful not to just get together with low-level people, and more importantly, guard yourself against people who have bad intentions ..."
"Ding Xiang is not that kind of person."
"Women like you because you're rich and simple."
"Mother, do you forget that all the girls in Seoul don't like me?"
She froze for a moment, didn't know how to comfort her son.
"W_ well ... at least you have money!"
It's even more hurtful to hear this.
"Then shouldn't you be relieved?" If you think Ding Xiang doesn't like me because of my appearance, but at least my money can do little favor – that still can attract her isn't it, Mother? ShangDe thought angrily in his mind.
"It said that the woman was in shabby clothing meaning she is a poor. If she comes near you, she would only wants your money. Don't be fooled by that witch."
"Mother, she is not a witch." But even it was really for his money, he wouldn't mind at all.
"Son, of course mother wants you to have a own happy family soon, but we are from big families, and our ancestors were all big officials for generations, so your wife cannot just be an ordinary girl and must not be the vixen who only sees money."
"Mother ..."
"I will find a matchmaker tomorrow morning, to find a famous girl for you in other big cities, so you won't have to meet with Ding Xiang again."
"Mother ..."
"Alright, I am tired. You should be bed early too!"
Without giving him a chance to speak, Yan Hong stood up and left, leaving him standing alone in disappointment.
Originally, he had to tell his mother that he wanted to marry Ding Xiang, but if his mother knew Ding Xiang messy identity was Wen Xiong's wife, then everything would be even more impossible.
He looked up and found that the bright moon had been covered by a dark cloud, no longer shining.
Ding Xiang, what should I do? You said you would marry me, but I couldn't convince my mother. Will you be angry and ignore me? ShangDe thought with heartache..
