Ruhua stepped forward and tugged on Ji Yuxian's arm. She said gently, "Young Master, why did you stop?"
Su Jiu's brain buzzed like disorderly hornets were swarming inside it. Husband and wife both go to a brothel and just happen to meet? Heavens! Is there anything more awkward? What to do? What to do? Feign ignorance? Pretend not to know him?
Before Su Jiu could react, the brothel-keeper stepped forward with a smile. She gave Yiyi a push.
"Young Master," she began, "why display your affections here? There are guest rooms upstairs. Yiyi, show Young Master the way! "
Yiyi was staring at Ji Yuxian. When she heard what the brothel-keeper said, she quickly replied, "Yes, yes!" She tugged on Su Jiu's arm and continued walking forward. "Young Master, come with me!"
