Qiao Xuan was startled. She was blushing but Shao Yunduan remained calm. He responded in composure. “Thank you for today, Brother Yuezheng, would you like to come and have some tea at home?”
Yuezheng Xiao waved his hands and shook his head, looking at him with a meaningful smile. “No, thanks. 1 don’t want to Impose myself upon you today. You should go home now. Brother Xie and I will visit you tomorrow.”
The couple had been away from each other for a long time and they needed a
reunion. He knew that!
He was not going to be the third wheel under the circumstances!
Shao Yunduan knew that he must have misunderstood something. Without explaining anything, he nodded and said, “Okay, we will be waiting for you to come tomorrow! ”
Seeing Shao Yunduan getting onto the wagon with Qiao Xuan, Yuezheng Xiao smiled and went back to his mother.
His mother was really fond of Qiao Xuan, not just because she saved her husband’s life. She truly liked Qiao Xuan as a person. She was very devoted to Qiao Xuan, even more than she was towards her own son. She did not even ask him when he was planning to get married.
Seeing Shao Yunduan’s composure, he believed that Shao Yunduan must have done well in the examination.
Xie Jingrong had given him enough study materials. When they were discussing the content in the past, he did not understand anything, but it sounded profound. So, he should be capable of making it to the next level!
In the wagon, Qiao Xuan passed a cup of honey tea to Shao Yunduan. “Darling, drink some tea to moisten your throat.”
Qiao Xuan could not help but feel sorry for Shao Yunduan. She had never seen him look so pale . The examination time was just too long.
The tea cleared his throat, and had an aftertaste of lemon. Shao Yunduan finished it all and felt refreshed again.
“Darling, I should make it to the next level this time.”
Shao Yunduan sounded calm and looked confident, as he said this to Qiao Xuan with a smile.
He was never an arrogant man. If he said that he could clear it, then he would.
Qiao Xuan believed him. Actually, when she saw him approaching her from afar, she somehow felt assured in heart.
“That’s good. We will have good news to share with the family.”
Shao Yunduan nodded and showed an excited look. “We will pass on the news to Officer Qiao as well. He will be glad too.”
Shao Yunduan had seen through Officer Qiao.
He was going to be very friendly to him if he made it to the next level, even though he looked down at him earlier.
Shao Yunduan will definitely have a promising future if he made it to the next level and would be of great help to Officer Qiao.
Shao Yunduan did not care whether Madame Qiao would be pleased or not.
Qiao Xuan felt that it was a very pleasing thought. It was going to be so much fun looking at Madame Qiao’s face at that time.
She smiled brightly. “Yeah, we will go together to tell them the good news, right?”
The couple exchanged a look and smiled.
The hot water bath was ready. Shao Yunduan went to take a bath and wash his hair. He changed his clothes and felt quite fresh.
Qiao Xuan had already stewed black-bone chicken, along with red dates, ginkgo and lotus seeds, which had been stewed with rock sugar and white fungus to make a delicious soup.
She offered it to her husband. “Drink some soup, and have a good rest.. I will cook you a big dinner tonight!”
