Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Who is the Male Lead? Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Who is the Male Lead? Finally, he reached the front door of his house and saw that the courtyard gate was firmly shut. He only needed to knock on the door to know if Xiaoxiao had left or not.
Fang Chaoyang took a step forward to knock on the door, thinking that he might as well face whatever was coming.
When Xiaoxiao heard the knocking sound outside, she frowned subconsciously.
Had Da Bao and the others come back from playing?
But they had only left a moment ago. How could they have returned so quickly?
It probably wasn’t Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
If they had come home, they would definitely have called out for their mom.
But the person knocking didn’t call out, so it might be a stranger.
Could it be that Educated Youth Li again, the man who was stubbornly pursuing her?
He had come yesterday, and now again today?
At this hour, the villagers should be at work.
Hearing this familiar voice, the hearts of several grown men outside the door instantly settled back in place.
The sister-in-law hadn’t left; she was at home.
Xiaoxiao hadn’t left.
But when Xiaoxiao opened the door, she saw several strangers standing outside.
Her question stunned the four men standing outside.
They had only been away for a month, and now the sister-in-law/Xiaoxiao didn’t recognize them?
Xiaoxiao stared at them, her heart sinking suddenly at the thought that the male lead had been away for so long.
Could it be the male lead and his brothers?
Her question might suddenly make them suspicious.
This made her all the more anxious, wondering what to do.
Why had the male lead come back, and why were they so politely knocking at the door?
Fang Chaoyang quickly responded with a smile, “Sister-in-law, we didn’t mean to come back so late. You can’t be mad and say you don’t know us, can you? We came back immediately after finishing our tasks.”
Upon hearing Fang Chaoyang’s explanation, Zhao Tianhe and Cao Dali breathed a sigh of relief.
They had thought the sister-in-law had changed to a different person.
It turned out she was just pretending to be mad because they had returned late.
“Sister-in-law, it’s my fault. If I had been more careful, Third Brother wouldn’t have gotten hurt, and if he hadn’t been hurt, we could have come back earlier. It’s all my fault.”
A moment earlier, Xiaoxiao’s palms were sweating with nervousness, yet she still tried to maintain an indifferent facade toward them.
The next moment, hearing the tall, thin man say this, her heart, which had been pounding loudly, finally calmed down.
Which of the four men was the male lead?
Two of them had already spoken, obviously, they were not the male lead.
That left two men, and between these two, who the male lead was still wasn’t clear to Xiaoxiao.
“Alright, sister-in-law.”
The group promptly entered the house, heading towards the main hall.
“Would you like some water?”
“That would be great; thank you, sister-in-law.”
She made them sweetened water.
This was a standard offering of the time.
Zhao Tianlei found that his wife was ignoring him. Was she still mad at him?
This time when he went out and saw that the big cities were indeed more developed than their small town, he didn’t blame her for wanting to move back to the city.
If she wanted to go back to the city, he was willing, and he would take Da Bao and Xiao Bao with her.
Once there, he could find a job and clearly support his family.
Xiaoxiao noticed one man staring at her intently, his buzz cut and handsome features could very well mean he was the male lead.
Indeed, a short haircut was the standard to test if someone was truly handsome.
“Sister-in-law, we’re going to head back now.”
“Right, we’ve been on the train for several days; we all smell a bit now.”
“Sister-in-law, I’m heading back too.”
Fang Chaoyang and the other two bid farewell, leaving the man who had been watching her alone with her.
“Take care, take care…”
