Full-level real daughter: first-class female forensic doctor

Chapter 38 Opal

The shopkeeper went back and forth twice, going to the door to pick up fresh fruits, vegetables and fish, and then going to the back kitchen to order the dishes for this morning.

Yesterday, after reading the accounts at Zhen Hui Pavilion, I took a rest in the room on the third floor. I had to have breakfast here. The shopkeeper and the chef were busy before opening.

Their grandfather is very particular about his food. For example, the crab roe buns, the crab roe and lard all need to be fresh that day.

The waiter has always felt that his grandfather opened this Zhen Gourmet Pavilion mainly for the convenience of cooking for him.

While they were busy, two people came and stopped at the door.

Seeing that they were two girls, and the one in front was obviously a young lady, the waiter put the rag aside and said, "Sir, we don't have breakfast here. If you want to have breakfast, you can go to Xiangyuan Street next door."

Then the little maid who was standing later took two steps forward and said, "We are not here to have breakfast. I heard that Mr. Yuan is here. Our young lady has something to say to him."

"Who is your young lady?" the waiter asked doubtfully. I have many beauties and confidantes, but he really didn't know if they didn't report their family background.

"My lady's surname is Cheng," the maid said reluctantly, rolling her eyes.

Miss Cheng, which Miss Cheng?
Before the waiter could react, the shopkeeper who happened to be coming out of the backyard had already greeted him with a smile, "Cheng Er, Miss Cheng, why are you here? Come upstairs and invite me."

Then he said to the little girl, "You go up first and inform the master."

The second floor is the elegant room of Zhenxi Pavilion specially used to entertain distinguished guests. The third floor has only a few rooms, which is where Yuan Chen occasionally lives or entertains friends.

In other restaurants and teahouses opened by Yuan Chen, the layout is basically the same, and there is always a floor reserved for himself.

The third floor was quiet, in a spacious room facing south. After being blocked by heavy gauze curtains, when footsteps sounded outside the door, a long and slender hand with distinct joints lifted up the heavy gauze.

"Come in."

Outside the door, as soon as the beautiful maid raised her finger, she heard a sleepy and lazy voice inside. She smiled and pushed the door open.

The gauze curtain on the bed was half lifted, and Yuan Chen was wearing a rust-red undershirt without any embroidery, half-open, revealing a large expanse of honey-colored skin with clear texture.

"What's the matter?" he asked impatiently, putting on his bare feet and getting out of bed.

The maid was an old man who was used to serving. She poured a cup of mouthwash with a light pine scent without any instructions, then turned around and handed it to the man.

Yuan Chen took the cup and smoothly stepped back to sit on the chair next to him.

The maid said, "Miss Cheng is here."

"What?" Yuan Chen, who was just lazing around, was surprised. He put the mouthwash on the table and said, "Please ask her to sit in the deer room first. I'll be there right away."

He stood up to leave and then ordered: "Don't forget to give her some refreshments."

The maid responded with a smile and said jokingly: "That's why Miss Cheng can make you lose your composure like this."

Yuan Chen said: "Go quickly."

The maid quickly responded, turned around and went out.

----

The third floor is very quiet. Wool blankets are spread from the stairs to the corridor. People walking on it will not make any sound. Cheng Xueyao is here for the first time, so she is inevitably surprised.

She only knew that Yuan Chen spent a lot of money when he went out. This was the first time she saw that the place where he lived was so luxurious. No wonder he used to rent a boat and give her a glass cup, but she said lightly that it was not worth anything.

The voice in Cheng Xueyao's heart was so amazed that she couldn't say anything. She was surprised that the person who almost possessed her body was so lucky.

She could be exchanged for a real daughter at birth, and the truth was exposed. There were still several people in that family standing on her side, with her brother protecting her inside, and such a handsome, rich and affectionate male partner outside.

Is she the heroine of the novel?

Cheng Xueyao followed the maid, walking step by step, and heard the voice in her heart saying: "Is this the place where I saved that person a few days ago?"

Cheng Xueyao looked down upon her way of making a fuss about everything. If her guess was correct, the soul that could be in her body belonged to one of those small families.

His mouth smells like copper, and everything he looks at is treasure.

Sure enough, before finishing thinking, the voice said again: "Actually, marrying him would not be a bad idea."

"Shut up," Cheng Xueyao said with a cold face and a cold voice, "He is a businessman. Do you want me to be the one who salutes others at various banquets after getting married and can be laughed at and belittled at will?"

Cheng Xueyao entered the room under the guidance of her maid, while her maid, Biqing, stood guard outside.

The maid served tea and went down.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Yuan Chen put one hand behind his back and turned the folding fan with the other and pushed the door open.

"Miss Cheng," he was always polite to Cheng Xueyao. After coming in, he sat down on the chair opposite and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Cheng Xueyao looked at him and shed tears before she said a word.

Yuan Chen felt distressed, took out a neatly folded handkerchief and handed it over, saying softly: "If you have anything to do, just ask."

Even if he didn't want to marry him, he could accept it and find a way to untie the knot that the two of them had to get engaged.

Cheng Xueyao did not accept his handkerchief, and touched the corners of her eyes with the lotus-colored silk handkerchief in her hand. She looked at Yuan Chen with tearful eyes and said, "I am lucky to be able to marry you, but you know why we two must Engagement?"

Yuan Chen looked at the woman in front of him.

Cheng Xueyao lowered her head slightly and said, "It was the sister who just came home who suggested it. She thought I didn't want to marry you and deliberately made me unhappy."

So you like me and want to marry me?

Yuan Chen looked at Cheng Xueyao with a little smile in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand, but before he put it on Cheng Xueyao's hands, she dodged it for a moment, but looked at Yuan Chen and said with a smile, "I don't hate being married to you, but I don't want to admit defeat in front of her."

Yuan Chen is a good person, but now he doesn't quite understand what Cheng Xueyao means.

"What do you want me to do?"

"This man is too stupid." The voice laughed.

Cheng Xueyao frowned and said, "You can go to my house to propose marriage, but don't say that you want to propose marriage because you saved me before. Just say, say,"

Her cheeks flushed.

Yuan Chen smiled and said, "I understand. In a month at most, when my master comes back, I will go to the Cheng Mansion to propose marriage."

It's not a suggestion, it's a request that pleases him.

Cheng Xueyao hummed, and then said: "There will be fireworks on the Dream Bridge on May [-]th. At three o'clock in the morning, I will wait for you under the willow tree on the south side of the bridge."

"Okay." Yuan Chen said, opened the folding fan and shook it.

The fan pendant sways, and occasionally the bright red cat's eye stars reflected in the sunlight sparkle.

Cheng Xueyao glanced at it and asked, "It's the blood-red opal again. Do you love this gem? I see that you have many such accessories."

Yuan Chen was frightened and handed her the folding fan in his hand, "I almost starved to death when I was a child, thanks to this little thing."

Cheng Xueyao looked at it and thought it looked familiar. She smiled and said, "This is very similar to one of my cat's eye stones. There is a faint scratch on the side of mine."

There is actually a scratch on one side of the red cat's eye stone.

Cheng Xueyao was surprised: "Isn't this really mine? But my one couldn't be found when I was very young."

Yuan Chen: My memory is a bit poor, didn't you throw it to me?

He said: "Maybe you threw it away yourself."

Cheng Xueyao said: "Did you pick it up then? Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Yuan Chen's eyes were filled with smiles, "Perhaps there is a destiny between us."

He has never tried to recognize Cheng Xueyao, and this is the first time he has spoken clearly.

Cheng Xueyao looked at the opal in her hand and made some guesses, but she was sure that this opal was on a lost bracelet, so why did it end up in Yuan Chen's hands.

Why is he so valued?

She just smiled shyly, and then sent the folding fan back with both hands, "Maybe I saw it wrong. This is not mine."

This saying means that you can advance and retreat, but to Yuan Chen, it means that the beautiful woman found out about this long-decided fate and was embarrassed to admit it.

"It's getting late, I should go." Cheng Xueyao stood up and said after returning the fan.

"I'll see you off," Yuan Chen held the fan in his palm like a treasure, and stretched out his hand to invite.

Cheng Xueyao smiled shyly at him and walked over.

When the two of them went out, they happened to see two servants carrying a half-dried green plant out of the room they had passed.

The door of the room opposite was open, and Cheng Xueyao immediately saw the furnishings inside. Not to mention anything else, the bright red coral tree placed on the table was worth thousands of gold.

"Whose room is that?" Cheng Xueyao asked.

The decoration inside is very elegant and exquisite, as if it is a place for girls.
