Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1148 - 1150: Missing the Chance to Meet
After Xiaotian left, the people eating in the Yuelai Restaurant’s hall began to talk amongst themselves.
"It’s the first time I’ve seen the young lady of the Guo family."
"Me too, it’s the first time. I didn’t expect the young lady of the Guo family to be so beautiful."
"Well, what do you expect? Of course she’s beautiful, otherwise how could the young master treasure her so much?"
"That’s true, but beauty aside, the important thing is her good nature. Look how understanding she was just now. If someone else’s stomach got bumped, they’d probably make a big deal out of it."
"Exactly. Even in ordinary families like ours, if someone bumps their stomach, they won’t let it go easily. Not to mention the rich families, their stomachs are more precious."

After leaving the Chu Mansion, Li Fugui rushed back to Lin County overnight. After a brief nap at his place, he went to Yuelai Restaurant. As soon as he entered, he overheard the guests in the hall talking.
He was taken aback. Xiaotian had actually come? Was she looking for him?
She got her stomach bumped? Is she okay?
With a heart full of anxiety, he quickly headed to the back kitchen. Before anyone could react, he directly asked, "Did the young lady of the Guo family come?"
Upon hearing his voice, everyone was startled. They didn’t expect Head Chef Li to return so quickly and greeted him, "Head Chef Li."
Li Fugui wasn’t in the mood for greetings. He asked again directly, "I’m asking if the young lady of the Guo family came."
"Yes, Head Chef Li, she did come, but don’t worry, there was no slip-up," someone replied.
Hearing this, Li Fugui was somewhat emotional. Xiaotian really came; it wasn’t a dream or his imagination. She must have been looking for him.
The people in the kitchen didn’t notice that Li Fugui’s mood was a bit off and continued talking.
"We almost slipped up, Head Chef Li. You wouldn’t know, but the young lady of the Guo family specifically asked for Chef Jiang to cook. We figured since it was just cooking, we’d do it."
"Who would have thought, she also specifically asked to see Chef Jiang. Chef Jiang definitely couldn’t go out. If he did, it would have been obvious. So we told the young lady you had an urgent matter in Lin County, and after hearing that, she left."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Li Fugui shouted even more excitedly. She really came looking for him. "When did she leave?"
"She just left not long ago."
As soon as those words were out, Li Fugui rushed out of the back kitchen like a madman.
The people left in the back kitchen looked at each other, feeling that Head Chef Li’s reaction was too unusual. "Could something be wrong?"
"Who knows!"
Once out of the kitchen, Li Fugui mounted a horse and headed towards the Guo Mansion, hoping he could catch up.
At that moment, his mind was in turmoil, filled with thoughts of Xiaotian and endless questions.
She came, specifically looking for him. Was there something she wanted to tell him?
Does she not want to stay at the Guo Mansion anymore? Does she want to leave with him?
...
...
With a heart full of agony, he reached the corner near the Guo Mansion. He dismounted and, instead of approaching the mansion, watched from afar.
In the end, he still couldn’t catch up to Xiaotian. At this moment, he deeply regretted taking a nap, missing the chance to see Xiaotian.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became at himself, punching the wall beside him.
His hand immediately broke the skin and bled, but he felt no pain. The pain in his heart was a thousand times worse.
He stood there, staring at the front gate of the Guo Mansion, unwilling to leave.
