Chapter 389 When did I agree to his advances?
Su Yueyao saw a man in the crowd wearing the official uniform of a prefect. He had an upright posture, elegant temperament, and dignified bearing, giving people a majestic yet friendly feeling.
His face was as delicate and beautiful as peach blossoms, with fair skin and exquisite facial features, especially his bright eyes, which were as dazzling as stars.
His hair was neatly combed and fixed with a hairpin, looking very capable and neat. His lips were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, which made people feel good about him.
Su Yueyao looked at Gong Yang Ruoyu and immediately shifted her gaze, signaled Yang Qianxun to put her down, and spoke to Gong Yang Ruoyu.
"You don't have to be so polite, sir."
"Ms. Su, I have already prepared meals in the government office. Please come over and enjoy the delicious food with other distinguished guests." Gongyang Ruoyu said respectfully, his eyes revealing anticipation and enthusiasm.
Su Yueyao looked at his expression and didn't know whether to go or not. If they didn't go right after they arrived, would they offend him? After all, he was in charge of the entire Nanling Prefecture. If he casually put obstacles in their way, they would be in trouble. Finally, Su Yueyao weighed the pros and cons and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for your hospitality, sir."
"It is my duty. The carriage is ready. Please get in."
Yang Qianxun helped Su Yueyao get on the carriage. When Su Yueyao lowered her head and got into the carriage, she couldn't help but be stunned. What she saw surprised her. The interior of the carriage was extremely luxurious.
The carriage is covered with thick blankets and the seats are equipped with thick cushions, allowing people to feel unparalleled warmth and comfort as soon as they sit down. In the middle of the carriage is a small and exquisite table filled with exquisite and delicious snacks and steaming tea, exuding an enticing aroma.
The decoration of the entire carriage reveals an ultimate sense of refinement.
"Ayao, sit down!"
"Oh, okay." Su Yueyao reacted and sat in the middle seat.
Huan Yanxi and Pei Yuqi also came in and sat down.
"Miss Su, the snacks in the carriage are special pastries from Nanling Prefecture. You can try them." Gongyang Ruoyu said outside the carriage.
"Thank you, sir." Su Yueyao opened the car window and replied.
Afterwards, Inspector Pu and Nanfeng sat in the carriage behind Su Yueyao.
The carriage started slowly and headed towards the government office.
"My wife, this pastry is non-toxic and is indeed a famous pastry from Nanling Prefecture." Huan Yanxi said after taking a look at it.
"It seems that Magistrate Gongyang is here for his wife! The carriage is decorated so beautifully." Pei Yuqi said with a smile.
Su Yueyao took a piece of cake and took a bite, then said with a smile: "Yuqi, why didn't you say that? He did this to entertain me. After all, my body is delicate now, and he dare not neglect me."
"Ayao is going to play dumb!"
"Qianqian, what are you saying? You still want me to get married! If I get married again, I won't have time to accompany you. Do you want that?"
The three men looked at each other and shook their heads but did not say anything. As men, they could not stop the wife from marrying another man. Otherwise, being discovered and punished would be a small matter, but spreading the reputation of jealousy would be bad for their family.
"That's right! I just looked at him with pure admiration and didn't have any other thoughts. You are not allowed to test me, otherwise I will be angry, the kind that is very difficult to appease." Su Yueyao said.
"Ayao, we didn't test you. His behavior was too obvious, and everyone could feel it. Didn't Ayao accept his advances?"
"What? When did I agree to his advances?" Su Yueyao asked puzzledly.
"Then why did you agree to let him come back to the government office for dinner?" Pei Yuqi asked.
"Aren't we ordered to control the flood? He is the most senior official here, we shouldn't reject him as soon as we meet him? What if he does something bad next?"
"Ayao, this kind of thinking is something we men should be careful about, but as a woman, it's not something you have to consider, and he asked you all the questions from the beginning."
"..."
"He was the one who asked me. Why didn't you guys say anything just now?"
"What else can we do? My dear wife, we are here with you on this errand. Men in the backyard are not allowed to interfere with women's behavior." Pei Yuqi explained.
"..."
"I thought he would only ask me because I'm a woman, and didn't he prepare for everyone? I didn't expect this to be a gesture of goodwill! You men are so cunning! Just say no directly." Su Yueyao said helplessly.
"Ayao, do you want him to confess his love to you the first time he sees you in front of the crowded dock and say that he wants to enter your backyard?" Yang Qianxun looked at Su Yueyao with an indescribable look.
How come he didn't notice that his wife was so open now.
"No...I'm not...I didn't, I just felt that he..."
Su Yueyao was stunned. How could she say that she wanted to tell the prefect that she was not going to marry a man? It was not right to let someone confess first and then reject him directly.
The three of them looked at Su Yueyao as she spoke with pause. The wife still did not put herself into the situation that she was a woman and should not consider others but herself at any time.
According to the general behavior of women, since she had no intention of getting married, she directly rejected the prefect's invitation to the banquet and let Inspector Pu handle it on his own.
She shouldn't even get on this carriage. After all, accepting the man's advances here means she intends to marry him in the future.
"When your husband encounters problems, you should consider yourself. Even if you offend him, he will not make things difficult for us in official matters, because you are a woman first, a lady with an official position and an imperial decree." Huan Yanxi said.
Su Yueyao frowned, thinking about something. She felt like she understood something and yet understood nothing.
"Then if I get off the carriage now and don't go to the government office for dinner, is there any hope?" Su Yueyao said with a pout.
Yang Qianxun: “…”
Pei Yuqi: “…”
Huan Yanxi: “…”
The three of them suddenly didn't know what to say.
"My wife should not regret this now, as we have already arrived at the government office." Pei Yuqi opened the car window and saw the plaque of the government office.
"If Ayao changes her mind now, the three of us will go on a day trip to Fengyuwei here tomorrow. Let's go! It's good to try this meal!" Yang Qianxun said helplessly.
Su Yueyao's mouth twitched. She felt that Qianqian's words were becoming more and more eccentric.
Su Yueyao got off the carriage and Gong Yang Ruoyu immediately came to greet her.
"Miss Su, please come in, gentlemen."
"Your Excellency, there is no need to entertain me specially. I am just following the order of His Majesty to cooperate with Inspector Pu in controlling the flood. I am not the main important person." Su Yueyao said, pointing to Inspector Pu next to her.
Inspector Pu was suddenly mentioned by Su Yueyao. He glanced at them and immediately shifted his gaze, with no intention of helping Su Yueyao at all.
"..."
"It is a blessing for the people of Nanling Prefecture that Lady Su can come to Nanling Prefecture in response to the imperial decree, especially for the important matter of flood control. Lady Su, there is no need to be modest. Please come in." Gongyang Ruoyu said with a smile.
Su Yueyao had no choice but to step into Nanling Mansion.
"That's where the government office is. Walking through here is the backyard of the government office. Today I specially bought some seafood for you, Miss Su, to try." Gongyang Ruoyu introduced it carefully to Su Yueyao.
Su Yueyao smiled awkwardly. It was the first time she met such an attentive man.
