Chapter 198: I Like You

Shi Lin rolled his eyes at An Shi Yi and said, "Am I your master, or is she your master? You don't believe my words, you believe hers!"

"What Qiao Sheng said could also be true, after all we didn't see the wound."

An Jiu is here today as well.

Shi Lin really wanted to kick him.

An Liu had figured it out; the young master's injury wasn't what Qiao Sheng said, nor what he himself said.

His injury was very likely done by Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Hushui sensed the atmosphere was a bit solemn, he stood up to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, the dishes are already on the table, let's eat first, we can talk after we finish eating."

Shi Lin picked up his chopsticks to take the steamed fish that Qiao Sheng made.

He hadn't managed to take any yet.

Qiao Sheng then took the plate away: "Shi Jin, Shi Lin, Shi Yun, you said you wanted to eat steamed fish, right? Come, Aunt Qiao will give you each a few pieces."

She gave each of them two pieces.

Qiao Sheng asked Xiao Shitou if he wanted some; seeing him nod, she gave him two pieces as well, and the rest she gave to Qiao Hushui and the others.

"Oh dear, Young Master Shi, sorry, I didn't prepare that much today."

"It's fine, isn't there some in your bowl?"

Shi Lin reached over and took the steamed fish from Qiao Sheng's bowl, the pieces she had previously taken.

This round of sparring.

Qiao Sheng lost.

After the meal, Qiao Hushui and the others discovered a problem: ever since Shi Lin arrived today, Qiao Sheng has been at odds with him, and it's not just a minor disagreement.

After the meal.

Lan Yue Niang, while Shi Lin went to talk with Xiao Shitou and the others, found Qiao Sheng and asked: "Lianhua, what did Shi Lin do today to offend you?"

"Mother, from now on stay away from him; he's not a good person."

Qiao Sheng said offhandedly.

Lan Yue Niang asked her, looking puzzled.

"Lianhua, Mother thinks he's quite good, so how is he not a good person?"

Qiao Sheng lowered her voice and said: "Mother, some people can't be judged by appearances; he's a big flirtatious radish, the type who loves whoever he sees, flirting with any woman."

What!

Shi Lin is actually that kind of person!

Lan Yue Niang's perception of Shi Lin was refreshed.

Shi Lin didn't know what Qiao Sheng had said in front of Lan Yue Niang, but when he spoke with Lan Yue Niang he clearly felt her attitude toward him had changed from before.

"Shi Lin, you're not young anymore; don't keep running over to Lianhua on a whim, or if someone with ill intentions sees it they'll gossip."

Lan Yue Niang had never before said such things to him.

Why would she suddenly say that now?

Shi Lin immediately thought of Qiao Sheng.

He didn't take long before he went to Qiao Sheng's room to find her: "Qiao Sheng, I have something to ask you."

"You came at just the right time; I also have something to say to you."

Qiao Sheng spoke up.

Shi Lin let her speak first.

Qiao Sheng said in a moderate tone: "Shi Jin and Shi Ren have changed a lot these days; they're both doing well now, I don't think it's necessary for them to stay with me anymore. After the new year, you can take them away."

"Qiao Sheng, you're doing this because of me…"

Shi Lin said only a few words.

Qiao Sheng interrupted him: "Shi Lin, don't think you're so important; I'm doing this not just because of you, but because Shi Jin and the others really don't need to stay with me anymore."

Not just because of him, that is, there is a bit because of him.

Shi Lin fell silent for a moment, lifted his gaze, and said solemnly: "Qiao Sheng, I said I'm not a casual person; I, I did that because, I, I like you."
