BXBX NOVEL Chapter 239: Cannot Be Ignored
Qiao Xiaomai looked at his handsome profile, then dropped her gaze.
He said it was fine.
But he had also said that the treasure could not be hidden much longer; if Yang Ye really brought people over, and if they discovered it…
What would ensue would be a fierce and bloody scramble.
But what could she say?
He had rescued her unexpectedly that day.
Had accepted her invitation to protect her today.
Not only protected her safety, but also helped her to disguise, and fiercely slapped Bai Zhi’s face.
How should she repay such a favour…
She pondered the whole journey but couldn’t come up with anything.
When they reached the entrance of the village, Tong Sanlang asked the coachman to stop. He jumped off the carriage, stood up, and looked at Qiao Xiaomai. A faint smile could be seen on his handsome face, “Miss Qiao, I am going up the mountain for a walk, I’ll take my leave first.”
People had to smile, even if their heart was bitter like swallowing caltrop, they had to put on a happy face in front of the girl they love.
Qiao Xiaomai looked back at him, returning his smile, “Thank you for today, Brother Tong San.”
“No need to be polite.” There was a bit more of a smile on Tong Sanlang’s handsome face, “Go home, I’m leaving.”
After saying that, he stepped forward into the village and headed west.
In fact, he wanted to tell her to come to him if she needed anything in the future.
He would be glad to help her.
But given his identity, he hoped that she would always be safe and never need his help again.
He pressed his lips tightly, took a deep breath, and rubbed his chest with his hand.
Such a feeling, how painful indeed.
Ahead, Qiao Xiaomai watched Tong Sanlang leave, biting her lip so hard she almost broke the skin.
When she got home and thanked the coachman, she knocked on the gate of the courtyard.
The voice of Qiao Dami sounded, “Are you back? Is it sister?”
She hummed in reply, raising her hand to rub her face.
She had to smile; she couldn’t let this innocent father and son notice anything strange.
She had won the contest; she had to laugh happily.
So when Qiao Dami opened the gate, she bent over to hug him, and with a joyful laugh, she went into the courtyard and shared her joy of winning with the father and son.
A banknote, a deed.
They were truly wonderful things.
Qiao Dami cheered, smiling from ear to ear.
Qiao Changshun was also happy, his joy causing the hand holding the banknote and the deed to tremble slightly.
This was really a fortune falling from the sky!
“Okay, dad, I’m going in to change.” said Qiao Xiaomai.
She had to remove her makeup too; after a long day of troubles, not only her body was tired, but also her mind.
“Rest a while, rest a while.” Qiao Changshun nodded understandingly and pushed the banknote and deed into Qiao Xiaomai’s hand, “Never mind the rest, just go and rest.”
Qiao Xiaomai took the banknote and deed, hummed in agreement, then went to her room.
She removed her makeup and changed her clothes, then really lay down on the bed.
Closing her eyes, she recalled the events of the past few days one by one.
She was inexplicably pulled by Shopkeeper He to cook for Yang Ye.
She rejected Yang Ye, with worries in her heart.
Tong Sanlang came to confess to her, she rejected.
Then she severed ties with the Sun family, and Sun Junyan was beaten.
After that, she met Tong Sanlang on the mountain by chance, exchanged secrets, and learned about the ticking time bomb hidden at home.
Her anxiety got worse.
Then the Sun family and Qiao Meipan tried to slander her, she went to the town to sell dried tofu and met Bai Zhi.
She nearly fell from the second floor.
And was saved by Tong Sanlang.
Remembering that moment, she took a long breath, finally understanding the true meaning of the phrase ‘a life-saving grace’.
When the whole world was shrouded in terror, Tong Sanlang tore away the darkness like a ray of light, sweeping away all fears.
He saved her, and her entire world.
The feeling of reliability he gave her was…
Impossible to ignore.
Truly impossible to ignore..
