Tong Sanlang looked at the little face in front of him, with three bold characters on it: Praise wanted.
His mouth curled into a smile, indulging her request, he praised, “Impressive!”
Even his father Tong Xingda said that Qiao Xiaomai was the girl who could make the most money he had ever met.
Qiao Xiaomai broke into a satisfied smile, leaning over to whisper in his ear, “It’s better to put all the silver from the Jigu Ju into my space than let your sixth grandfather use it for his causes.”
Tong Sanlang looked at her close, fair face, and held his breath, asking, “Why did you reject my proposal just now?”
“I don’t want you to work too hard. Besides, you’re only in charge of keeping the accounts. How much salary can your grandfather give you? It’s unnecessary. Just focus on being in love with me.” Qiao Xiaomai finished speaking, sat straight up, and continued to sip her soup.
It felt like being kept.
Seems like he had found a lifetime meal ticket.
Yet, this Qiao Xiaomai, who casually uttered such overbearing words, was truly beguiling.
His feelings for her, uncontrollably, deepened every day.
“What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat. After we finish, we’ll go shopping.” Qiao Xiaomai, seeing him staring blankly at her, urged him…
Tong Sanlang took a breath, leaned towards her ear and whispered, “I was thinking, you’re so wonderful, 1 hate for not being able to open the secret tunnel and give you all the treasures underneath your house.” Check latest chapters at novᴇlfire.net
He said this into Qiao Xiaomai’s ear, his warm breath blowing into her ear.
Qiao Xiaomai shivered, and goosebumps arose on her skin. She opened her eyes wide, pointed her finger at Tong Sanlang’s forehead, and pushed him away, “…Boy, that’s a dangerous thought.”
Tong Sanlang sat up straight, guided by her touch, a slightly bitter smile appeared on his handsome face, “You deserve it.”
The girl in front of him, he wished to give her his all.
As for the matter of rebellion, he had always remained indifferent. If his grandfather and sixth grandfather wanted him to rebel, then he would rebel.
Yet at this moment, he was truly nurturing such thoughts.
If he were the emperor, he could offer the whole world to Qiao Xiaomai, letting her take whatever she wanted.
If he were the emperor, would anyone dare to pressure Qiao Xiaomai as the Sun Family and Cen Hong did?
He wants to give her the best of everything.
He wants to protect her.
After living for seventeen years, he had never felt such intense feelings towards a person before.
Wishing to burn himself to ashes if need be, to do the best for her, to give her everything.
Qiao Xiaomai did not know of Tong Sanlang’s inner thoughts, she said, “Whether it’s worth it or not, don’t have such thoughts anymore. Whatever we want, let’s earn it together.”
Whatever we want, let’s earn it together.
Such a simple sentence pierced Tong Sanlang’s heart.
Let’s do it together.
Such wonderful words.
He chewed the phrase over and over again, then lightly hummed, “Alright.”
Soon, He Zhanggui came over with a pen, paper, and a silver note. Qiao Xiaomai told him her prescription, and after He Zhanggui left, the two of them finished their meal. They got down the stairs, found He Zhanggui and bought some raw materials such as abalone and shark fin.
She didn’t let Tong Sanlang keep the accounts, Qiao Xiaomai paid herself.
After leaving the door of Jigu Ju, a waiter from Zuixian Building was waiting at the door. The two exchanged a glance, and followed the waiter to Zuixian Building.
Another two thousand taels of silver was obtained.
The two of them hired a carriage, went on shopping spree, and did not return to Anping Village until noon.
When they reached the entrance of the village, Tong Sanlang, as before, got off the carriage. Qiao Xiaomai watched his figure fade into the distance, and pointed the Coachman in the direction towards her home.
At the entrance of her house, a grand gift was waiting for her..
