Sorry, My Wife Has a Hole in Her Brain Chapter 24 Part 1

According to Su Wenqing's previous undercover investigation, among all the brothels in Anjing City, Tianxianglou had the highest customer satisfaction and the most reliable madam. So, after Su Wenqing arranged everything, she relaxedly handed over the follow-up matters to the madam.

On the second day, when the moon was just rising, Su Wenqing waited in Xie Mansion until Xie Shian returned home.

Liang Yun put down the "poker" reluctantly and sent the two of them out.

"I have sent someone to deliver a letter to the Su Mansion, saying that you will stay with the Xie family tonight to accompany me. Have fun and don't worry about the time."

"Really? They agreed?" Su Wenqing almost wanted to rush up and hug Mother Xie and bite her. It was hard to find "like-minded" friends in this damn place, and it was even harder to find such a thoughtful "like-minded" friend. You know, she was already prepared to be punished for Xie Shian's happiness in the second half of his life.

Liang Yun stood at the door with a gentle smile, "I’ve told them, they won't refuse, so go ahead and don't worry."

Su Wenqing nodded and climbed into the carriage with peace of mind.

Xie Shian sat opposite Su Wenqing. Seeing her cheerful look, he asked casually, "Don't you like the Su family?"

"No," Su Wenqing said while looking at the street view outside the car window with great interest, "The Su family is good, but it would be better if I could go out and play. I have never seen Anjing City at night."

Xie Shian never had much interest in playing. Most of the time he went out because of social engagements that he couldn't avoid. Now that he was in the same carriage with Su Wenqing, he was also infected with some interest.

The carriage moved slowly. He had walked the streets of Anjing City since he was a child. He was familiar with all the shops and stalls. However, Su Wenqing's expression made him see some interest in these familiar things.

For example, sugar figures of various shapes, and freshly baked osmanthus cakes... He saw with his own eyes that Su Wenqing secretly swallowed the saliva that was about to flow out.

For example, there were fire-breathing jugglers and clay figurine vendors... He saw the sudden appearance of starlight in Su Wenqing's eyes.

"Young Master, Miss Su, we have arrived."

Xie Shian paused. If he remembered correctly, this location should be Ningxiang Pavilion.

Su Wenqing jumped off the carriage first, lifted the curtain, and said with a smile, "We're here, get off quickly."

After getting off the car, Xie Shian looked at the two rows of maids in red gauze dresses in front of Ningxiang Pavilion and asked in a low voice: "Ningxiang Pavilion? Do you know what this place is for?"

"What else can you do in a restaurant besides eating?" Su Wenqing was worried that Xie Shian would be shy, so she pretended to be confident and said, "Let's go, I'm starving."

Xie Shian suppressed his doubts and followed Su Wenqing into the "restaurant".

The interior of Ningxiang Pavilion is circular, with three floors. Several exotic dancers wearing chest wraps were spinning and taking their final steps on a huge white jade stage that was half-covered by a red tent in the center.

As soon as Su Wenqing walked in, she knew that she had spent several hundred silver coins in the right place. She watched with relish the dancer's beautiful face under her flying red veil and applauded enthusiastically with everyone else.

"The one on the far left is the best looking!" Su Wenqing pointed to Xie Shian excitedly.

Xie Shian: ...

When Su Wenqing saw that Xie Shian was not in a good mood, she immediately realized that the gender was not right, which was understandable. She should have told the madam in advance to see if they could be replaced with some male dancers.

Ningxiang Pavilion was extremely lively at night. In every corner, drunk dignitaries were engaging in the "Eighteen Touches" with flimsy dressed maids and servants. Su Wenqing searched for a long time before she found the madam in the crowd.

The madam came over from a distance when she met Su Wenqing's gaze. When she found out that the person Su Wenqing brought was Xie Shian, her eyelids twitched dozens of times. She pulled Su Wenqing aside and whispered to confirm, "Is the person you are talking about Young Master Xie?"

"What? You couldn't find anyone?" Su Wenqing asked in surprise.

“No, no, no,” the madam hesitated, “It’s just that Young Master Xie… I’ve never heard that he…”

Su Wenqing didn't pay attention to what the madam was saying because she saw Xie Shian frown after he dodged a "maid" who deliberately bumped into his arms.

"It's OK as long as you find someone. Remember what I told you, he has to take the initiative. That's what we need."

After Su Wenqing hurriedly finished her instructions, she returned to Xie Shian. She sent away the people surrounding him and took him upstairs. "I booked a private room upstairs. It's quiet and there won't be any idle people."

Xie Shian paused as he looked at Su Wenqing's hand that was naturally pulling his arm, but in the end, he said nothing and followed Su Wenqing's footsteps.

"I heard from your mother that you prefer food with light taste," Su Wenqing pulled Xie Shian to avoid the crowd and walked into the private room, "I thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything delicious with light taste, so I finally ordered a table of water banquet, which is refreshing and has a moderate sour and spicy taste."

Water banquet: The Water Banquet (Chinese: 水席; pinyin: shǔixí) is a Chinese set of dishes comprising eight cold and 16 warm dishes cooked in various broths, gravies, and juices.

Xie Shian had come there to eat two days ago, but when he saw Su Wenqing's expectant look, he still tasted the food out of courtesy.

Su Wenqing asked hurriedly: "How is it?"

Xie Shian nodded, "Not bad."

Su Wenqing was satisfied after hearing this. She planned to accompany Xie Shian until they were almost done eating and then find an excuse to slip away.

While Xie Shian was eating, he caught a glimpse of Su Wenqing holding the bowl and glancing at him from time to time, her eyes full of excitement. After enduring for a while, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and put down his chopsticks.

"Miss Su, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."

"Ah?" Su Wenqing raised her head from the bowl, smiling brightly like spring, "No! I'm just very... looking forward to it!"

Xie Shian had always had a vague intuition in his mind, but reason told him that he was overthinking. However, rational analysis could not help him see through Su Wenqing's thoughts, so he could only act calmly and finish the whole meal under such a burning gaze.

Is she behaving abnormally because she is eating with someone she likes? Probably... Xie Shian couldn't understand, so he could only think so.

"Wait for me here, I'll be out for a while." Su Wenqing saw Xie Shian wipe his mouth after he had almost finished eating, so she stood up and spoke.

Her weird look disappeared, and Xie Shian breathed a sigh of relief. This meal was definitely the most difficult meal he had eaten in the past twenty years.
