Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 22

The two set off early the next morning and arrived at the foot of the mountain as the sun was setting, where they saw the town.

Nalan Jingwen finally showed a relaxed smile. Although she was not afraid of hardship, she felt sorry for Liu Qishan suffering with her. Now she could finally rest properly.

He led Liu Qishan into the city, but as soon as they entered, Liu Qishan stopped, turned around and looked at him, asking in confusion.

"what happened?"

Liu Qishan tilted his head slightly, as if listening to some kind of sound.

He quickly gave her a smile.

"I think I know where I am."

"Ok?"

Liu Qishan said again, "We'll find our way home soon."

Nalan Jingwen raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

Liu Qishan nodded, "Go out of the city and into the dense forest; my home is in the deepest part."

How long will it take?

"One and a half hours."

Nalan Jingwen had originally thought that since that was the case, he would walk a few more steps home, but after hearing about the distance and looking up at the darkening sky, he gave up on that option.

"Let's find an inn to rest first, and then set off again tomorrow."

As she spoke, she pulled him away.

"Wait……"

Nalan Jingwen was puzzled.

"what happened?"

Liu Qishan's expression was somewhat strange.

"We don't have any extra silver left..."

Nalan Jingwen immediately understood and patted his head.

"As the wife, how could she let her husband have nowhere to live?"

In the mountains, people only sleep outdoors when they have no other choice, but here there is a place to stay, so why would they sleep outside?

Although Liu Qishan was suspicious and hesitant, he heard Nalan Jingwen's confident tone and decided to follow her.

They went into the nearest inn, and soon someone came to greet them.

"Sir, would you like to dine or stay at the inn?"

"A superior room, and prepare your signature dishes, as well as hot water for bathing. We'll bring it to the room along with the dishes later."

"Alright, sir, is there anything else you need?"

Nalan Jingwen thought for a moment, then said, "I'll tell you when I think of something."

"Okay."

The waiter responded, and did not disrespect Nalan Jingwen because of her simple clothes. He simply looked her over, then looked at her with amazement. He then shifted his gaze to the person next to her, and his eyes lit up. He exclaimed in surprise.

"Dr. Liu! You're back?!"

Liu Qishan was taken aback at first, then nodded to her.

The waiter was thrilled, his face beaming with joy, drawing the attention of everyone around him.

"Dr. Liu, you're finally back! My husband was saved by your treatment and managed to regain his leg. If it weren't for you, he might never have been able to stand up again!"

As she spoke, perhaps she was too excited, and she wanted to rush towards Liu Qishan and kowtow to express her gratitude.

Nalan Jingwen reacted quickly and pulled the person behind him.

"Are you okay?"

Liu Qishan shook his head.

Seeing Nalan Jingwen's displeased expression, the waiter probably realized he had overreacted and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Liu, I didn't scare you."

Liu Qishan knew roughly what had happened, and since the other party hadn't done it intentionally, he shook his head slightly.

"fine."

The waiter scratched his head awkwardly, then glanced at Nalan Jingwen with a hint of embarrassment, and stammered, "Dr. Liu, my husband and I truly want to thank you, but after my husband's leg heals, we'll go to the place where you're doing free clinic to thank you in person, but you haven't shown up for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qishan smiled slightly.

"Treating and saving lives is a doctor's duty, there's no need for thanks."

The waiter waved his hands repeatedly, "No, this is different!"

Nalan Jingwen glanced around and saw that they were all looking this way and seemed to be getting up, so he quickly interrupted them.

"Could you please prepare what I have mentioned first? My husband and I have been traveling for a long time and are exhausted. We would like to take a bath and rest first."

As he spoke, he took out a silver note and handed it over.

If they continue talking, the whole city will probably know that Liu Qishan has returned. If they have to greet each and every one of them, I don't know if I'll be able to get any rest tonight.

The waiter suddenly stopped talking. Upon hearing Nalan Jingwen's words, his expression suddenly became strange. He stared at the two of them for a while, and finally, when his gaze fell on their tightly clasped hands, he put down his doubts, as if he had confirmed something.

They immediately put on a professional smile.

"Okay, sir. Here's your change. I'll take you to your room now."

Nalan Jingwen nodded and helped Liu Qishan upstairs.

"Be careful, there are stairs."

The waiter opened the door for them and said solicitously, "Please rest first. Hot water and food will be brought to you soon."

Nalan Jingwen waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

"Understood. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."

"okay!"

After everyone left, she released Liu Qishan's hand, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him.

"I never imagined that our Qishan Mountain would be so famous everywhere."

Liu Qishan smiled and took a sip of tea.

"I just used to do free clinics here often."

Nalan Jingwen raised an eyebrow but didn't say much. After all, Liu Qishan had told him before that he used to frequently travel to nearby towns to practice medicine and treat patients.

"Stay in your room. Take a bath and take your medicine in a bit. I'm going out for a bit and will be right back."

Nalan Jingwen walked out of the inn and onto the street. It was already night, and the city was beginning to light up. Although the streets weren't exactly bustling, they still had a lively atmosphere, with vendors hawking their wares on the sidewalks.

She didn't care about any of that. She asked around for directions to the clothing store and headed in that direction.

They had been wearing the same clothes for quite a while, and although they had washed them, they still needed to be changed.

I wasn't sure if there were any clothing stores in this city, since the area didn't seem to be very developed in terms of people's livelihood.

I decided to give it a try, and she actually got the answer right.

She walked into the clothing store and glanced at the clothes on display. They were mostly plain-colored and simple in style, which didn't suit her taste.

When the boss saw her come in, he looked around and clearly wasn't satisfied, and his heart sank.

Is this guy sent by someone else to cause trouble?

Despite thinking this way, I still upheld good professional ethics and went forward with a smile.

"Sir, what style would you like to see?"

Nalan Jingwen looked at her and asked, "Do you have any men's clothes? They should be made of good material, preferably in blue."

The shop owner's eyes darted around, and he immediately said, "I do have a solution, it meets all your requirements, but..."

She hesitated, looking at Nalan Jingwen.

"what?"

"It's just a bit expensive, I don't know if you can accept it."

Nalan Jingwen said indifferently, "Just show it to me."

The boss immediately beamed with joy.

"Okay, I'll go get it for you right away."

Soon, she took out a blue dress and handed it to Nalan Jingwen.

The latter took it, touched the fabric, and realized it was actually Yun brocade.

It's a fabric only high-ranking officials and nobles could wear; it's smooth to the touch, very comfortable, and the style is simple yet elegant. Nalan Jing fell in love with it at first sight.

"This is the set. Wrap it up for me."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Do you have any undergarments or trousers made of the same fabric? We can wrap them up together."

After saying that, he tossed her a silver note.

The boss was overjoyed. This outfit had been sitting in the back of his closet for a long time because it was too expensive to sell. He never expected it would actually sell today!

She repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, I'll wrap it up for you."

Finally, Nalan Jingwen bought several other sets of blue men's clothing, but the fabric wasn't as good as the first set. He also bought two sets of clothes for himself, carrying a large bag, before returning to the inn.
