507 Didn’t Even Notice
At the end of her sentence, she suddenly felt that she was very useless. She couldn’t help but apologize, and her eyes were about to turn red.
Even though she had her head lowered and Xue Sanfu couldn’t see her expression, he could roughly tell what her expression was through her voice.
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.” He said indifferently. “Your house is just ahead. It’s not that far. Follow me. I’m going to your house to deliver ice.”
“T-thank you.” Pei Fufu wanted to raise her head, but just as she raised it a little, she lowered it again.
“Let’s go.” His voice was especially soft, he didn’t notice it, but neither did Pei Fufu.
She only lowered her head and sneaked a peek. When she saw Xue Sanfu’s feet moving forward, she slowly followed him, maintaining a distance of about ten steps.
Seeing Xue Sanfu’s unhurried pace, he was probably looking straight ahead. Only then did she muster up her courage and raise her head. She glanced at Xue Sanfu’s tall, god-like back and immediately lowered her head again.
Her heart was pounding. It was as if her heart was about to jump out.
Xue Sanfu took a few steps and turned back to look. He saw Pei Fufu walking with her head lowered. He couldn’t help but worry that she would bump into something. However, he was leading the horse in front, and no one would pass by. The possibility of her bumping into something was very low, so he tried to let it go.
From the first time they met, he knew that she would be nervous whenever she saw him.
Keeping such a long distance from her like this would not ruin her reputation, and she could be at ease. He decided it was a good idea to keep this pace.
When he could see the red gates of the Pei family’s residence, Xue Sanfu stopped in his tracks. He turned to the person ten steps away, who was still burying her head in the ground, and said, “Your house is just up ahead.”
Pei Fufu immediately stopped in her tracks and looked up. When she saw that it was really her house in front of her, she was delighted. Then, she quickly lowered her head and was extremely nervous. She did not know if Xue Sanfu could hear her. She said softly, “I-I’ve eaten your watermelon. It’s very delicious. T-thank you… and thank you for today.”
After she finished speaking, her ears turned red. Then, she lowered her head and quickly walked past him.
“Miss! You scared me to death!” Fei Ju had just come out of the manor with some people and was planning to go to the streets to look for their young miss. She looked around twice alone but could not find her. Who knew that just as she stepped out of the main door, Pei Fufu managed to return on her own. She almost cried tears of joy.
“I… I’m fine.” Pei Fufu didn’t dare to look back. “Hurry, hurry up and go in.” With that, she did not care about Fei Ju and the rest and quickly entered her house.
Fei Ju and the others were baffled. They immediately looked behind them, but they saw nothing.
Xue Sanfu had already led his horse into an alley when Pei Fufu walked home. He didn’t want anyone to see that a man had brought her back.
This would be bad for Pei Fufu’s reputation.
After staying in the alley for a while, Xue Sanfu walked out with his horse. At the entrance of the Pei residence, he unloaded the forty Jin of ice from the horse and handed it to the servant boy guarding the door, along with the box.
After Xue Dafu and the others finished their lunch, they went home to make ice. Li Hehua helped to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen before going home to make more ice.
Xue Da was quite energetic. After lunch, he went to Shao Shuting’s room and talked to him for a while before going home to rest.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan tidied up the central room, then went to the paddy field to care for the crops. When they came back, they saw Shiye again.
This time, Shiye didn’t come on a horse, but with a carriage.
