Yu Peng nodded. Then, he got up and went to the sliced noodles shop by the official road.

However, Yu Peng didn’t enter the shop at the beginning. Instead, he hid at the side and carefully observed the people who entered the shop to eat sliced noodles.

When he was done observing, he waited for a caravan to arrive and followed these people to the sliced noodles shop.

Yu Peng walked in and shouted in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “I want to order two taels of spicy and salty minced meat sliced noodles!”

Li Xiaoqing was already cooking noodles, so she said with a smile, “Please wait a moment.” Then, she went to peel the noodles.

Yu Peng found a seat at the side and sat down. Then, he waited for his sliced noodles.

This location was the best place to see everyone who came to the shop to eat sliced noodles.

At this moment, the person Yu Peng was looking for was eating in a seat to the right of the middle section.

Yu Peng took advantage of the wait to look around, as if he couldn’t wait to eat the noodles.

Although his gaze attracted Liu Mingkun’s attention, Liu Mingkun’ only glanced at him. After the two of them made eye contact, Yu Peng smiled at Liu Mingkun.

“You look unfamiliar! You’ve never eaten sliced noodles here before, right? Let me tell you, the sliced noodles here are superb! When my brother brought me here to eat these sliced noodles, I was blown away!” Yu Peng chatted in a very friendly manner.

Liu Mingkun nodded with a smile. “It’s quite delicious!”

With that, Liu Mingkun turned his head around and focused on eating the sliced noodles.

It was obvious that he refused to talk.

However, Yu Peng acted as if he didn’t see his rejection and immediately started chatting with a merchant beside him.

“Hey, brothers, that big cart of fur outside is your goods, right? You’re really good at doing business! Aren’t you afraid that you’ll lose all your capital if you send the leather goods to the capital at this time?!”

When the merchant heard Yu Peng’s words, he immediately glared at him.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t even know you. I don’t have a troublemaker buddy like you!” With that, the merchant finished the remaining sliced noodles quickly and left in a hurry after paying for the noodles.

Yu Peng was also a little angry now and kept muttering, “Hey, why is he like this?! I kindly reminded him, but he scolded me. How ungrateful!”

Seeing this, Li Xiaoqing quickly sent Yu Peng’s knife-cut noodles over.

When Yu Peng saw this bowl of sliced noodles, his unhappiness dissipated and he started smiling again.

“Sigh, this is the taste!” With that, Yu Peng picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

For some reason, everyone around him heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the man eating in big mouthfuls.

After Liu Mingkun finished eating the sliced noodles, he came to Li Xiaoqing. “Miss Li, this is the money for today’s sliced noodles!”

“Mr. Liu, there’s no need! You’re my savior! It’s just a bowl of noodles. There’s no need to pay!” As she spoke, Li Xiaoqing looked at Mao Dao. “Mao Dao, return the money to my benefactor!”

Mao Dao happened to pa.s.s by, so he quickly took the money and stuffed it in front of Liu Mingkun.

“Young Master Liu, aren’t you deliberately making things difficult for us? You’re Xiao Qing’s savior. If her savior came to eat a bowl of noodles, but we accepted the money, wouldn’t everyone criticize us? Don’t you think so?” The other people eating noodles echoed this sentiment.

“That’s right. If they accept the money, what will others think of her?! Young Master, you should keep the money! Xiao Qing is a grateful person. She won’t accept your money!”

“That’s right. If you insist on paying for the noodles, won’t you be slapping the little girl’s face?” Yu Peng said directly, “If word gets out, people will say that the second daughter of the Li family is an ungrateful person who even wants to accept money from her savior. If anything happens to her in the future, who will dare to save her?! Mr. Liu, you should keep the money! Otherwise, I’ll think that you have a grudge against this little girl and want to use this method to ruin her reputation!”

Everyone understood this.

However, there were very few people who were as straightforward as Yu Peng.

The others also began to size up Liu Mingkun and think about his motive for paying for the noodles.

When Liu Mingkun heard Yu Peng’s words, he wasn’t angry. Instead, he smiled. “You’re right. I didn’t consider it thoroughly! In that case, I won’t pay you!”

“Mr. Liu, that’s how it should be! I’ll be embarra.s.sed if you insist on paying me for the noodles. Feel free to come and eat noodles in the future. I won’t charge you a single copper coin! My life is more valuable than these sliced noodles!” Li Xiaoqing said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, yes. Miss Li’s life is naturally more valuable than these noodles. In that case, I’m lucky. In the future, I can eat such delicious sliced noodles for free every day!” Liu Mingkun said.

Those who knew the inside story wouldn’t overthink it.

However, what would those uninformed people think when they heard this?

Wouldn’t they think that Li Xiaoqing and Liu Mingkun had feelings for each other?

At this moment, the way Yu Peng looked at Liu Mingkun changed.

Li Xiaoqing didn’t seem to hear the meaning in Liu Mingkun’s words and said bluntly, “Don’t worry, in the future, I’ll tidy up a table and write down that it’s the seat for my savior. You can come over to eat noodles anytime in the future!”

When Yu Peng heard this, he was immediately impressed with Li Xiaoqing’s answer.

This time, Liu Mingkun’s ulterior motives were exposed.

Disappointment flashed across Liu Mingkun’s eyes, but he revealed a gentle smile.

“Alright, I won’t disrupt Miss Li from cooking noodles anymore!” With that, Liu Mingkun left.

It had to be said that Liu Mingkun really knew how to disguise himself.

Dressed in white and with his graceful strides, he looked like a gentle and humble young master.

Unfortunately, he was a scheming person.

To be honest, most women wouldn’t be able to resist such a man.

Fortunately, the consort’s sister was unfazed.

Thinking of this, Yu Peng ate his noodles in big mouthfuls.

After eating the noodles, Yu Peng placed the money on the table and came to a caravan’s carriage. Then, he left with the carriage.

Not long after Yu Peng left, Liu Mingkun, who was hiding in the dark, walked out from behind a big rock.

“This person really left.. It seems that he’s indeed a merchant who transports goods!”
