A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

“I heard from Ping about your plan. I made a bold guess. Behind the Star Creation Project is Princess Mingyue. From the looks of it, I guessed it,” Liu Lian said with a smile.

When Ning Yue heard this, she did not say anything to him. She only said, “Is your indenture in the Fenghua Pavilion with Ping?”

“I’m not indentured,” Liu Lian said.

“What?” Ning Yue was surprised. Without an indenture, how could he stay here? He could have left.

However, Ning Yue did not ask further. This was a matter between the Fenghua Pavilion and Liu Lian.

“After I take over the Fenghua Pavilion, are you leaving or staying?” Ning Yue asked him.

“I’ll sign an indenture,” Liu Lian suddenly said.

“What?” Ning Yue was stunned. Was anyone still in a hurry to sign an indenture?

“I said, I’ll sign an indenture,” Liu Lian said again.

“Are you short of money?” Ning Yue asked again.

She thought that there were many ways for such a smart person to earn money. Unless he needed money urgently and it was a lot of money, he would not think of signing an indenture.

Unexpectedly, Liu Li replied, “No.”

This time, it was Ning Yue’s turn to be dumbfounded. If he didn’t lack money, why did he have to sign an indenture contract?

Ning Yue voiced her doubts and chuckled. “You look like you’re very short of money! Are you going to sign it or not?”

“Of course!” Liu Lian said.

From Ping, she knew that Liu Lian was very valuable. Since he was willing to help her and was willing to sign an indenture, how could she not agree?

However, she didn’t want to sign that kind of indenture. She just wanted to sign the contract with Liu Lian. She had to think about the contract when she got back.

“I have to think about the content,” Ning Yue said.

“Alright, are you going out to do something later? I’ll go with you. I want to sign the indenture as soon as possible,” Liu Lian said.

Ning Yue was speechless. This man called Lian Lian was really in a hurry to sell himself. What was he thinking?

Ping had been waiting outside for a long time, but the two of them did not come out. She was extremely anxious. Later, when she really waited for a long time, she braced herself and entered the room.

She thought that Liulian had angered Ning Yue somehow and was thinking about how to speak up for him.

In the end, Ning Yue’s answer dumbfounded Ping. “He offered to sign an indenture.”

“Huh?” Ping was shocked. “Why?”

“He didn’t sign an indenture with the Fenghua Pavilion previously. Why is he willing to stay here as a male entertainer?” When Ning Yue asked Ping, she looked at Liu Lian meaningfully.

“He’s a close friend of our boss. Before our boss died, he promised him that he would take care of the Fenghua Pavilion,” Ping said.

He agreed and sold himself just like that?

Ning Yue couldn’t figure out his intentions. She only felt that his actions had a deeper meaning. She was about to ask Jiang Ying to investigate this person later.

“Miss, the contract is signed. Take a look. Is there anything you need me to do?” Ping asked.

“There’s nothing else. I’m going to the streets later. Come with me,” Ning Yue said.

From the looks of it, he was determined to sign the contract today.

Ning Yue sighed and thought for a moment. She decided to find a place to eat first and chat before writing down the contract.

The three of them went to the street and saw many stalls on the way. Ning Yue was in a good mood and went to a snack stall. “Boss, give me a snack.”

The ancient times were not highly developed, and the things sold on the streets were all handmade. They tasted good and had zero additives. She quite liked them.

“How can you eat these things?” Liu Lian frowned as he watched Ning Yue eat. She wolfed down her food like a hungry ghost.

“It’s delicious.” Ning Yue handed the snack she had not eaten to Liu Lian.

He took a look and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He had never eaten these things, but he wanted to eat them when he saw Ning Yue’s hand.

“Try it. It’s delicious.” Ning Yue handed the snacks forward.

Liu Lian suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and took a small bite. It was indeed delicious!

“I knew it!” Ning Yue smiled at the stall owner. “Boss, pack two portions for me.”

She kept one for herself and gave the other to Ping.

Ping ate carefully. The snacks by the roadside did taste good.
