After she finished speaking and saw that Qin Jian had no reaction, she asked again with wishful thinking, "Big Brother Qin, if I accidentally twisted my ankle, would you also carry me back?"
"Chin," Qin Jian said concisely with two words.
"What?" Song Yueqin didn’t understand what he meant.
"An Hao, you have sweat on your chin," Qin Jian repeated.
"I’ll wipe it for you right away." An Hao quickly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the beads of sweat from his chin.
Seeing Qin Jian’s cold attitude towards her, Song Yueqin felt both annoyed and ashamed. She really wanted to ask Qin Jian if he had any objections to her.
But the words that came to her lips were swallowed back down.
If he truly ignored her again, wouldn’t she lose all face in seeking his company?
"Big Brother Qin, I’ll be leaving first. My home is in a different direction from yours, so I won’t walk with you," Song Yueqin bade him farewell.
"Okay." This time, Qin Jian responded very promptly.
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Tian Niu said to An Hao with a meaningful tone, "The treatment is really different after all!"
For the woman he fancies, such burning passion, even not allowing her to walk with a twisted ankle. For the woman he dislikes, he wouldn’t even look at her, let alone pay her any attention.
An Hao understood his implication and couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth upwards.
In this life, she had come with good intentions, hoping in the end she would be his only one.
Qin Jian brought An Hao back home. As soon as they entered, they encountered Bai Yanjiao, who was in the courtyard washing her own clothes.
Seeing An Hao being carried on someone’s back, she felt somewhat puzzled.
Wasn’t Yang Erdan with An Hao today? Did he not make a move?
Looking at An Hao’s calm and composed face, seemingly without a scratch, or perhaps Yang Erdan got taken care of by these two soldiers in front of her?
As she was pondering this, she heard An Hao say to the soldier, "Big Brother Qin, put me down, please. You go back first, and after my foot heals, I will come to thank you!"
"What’s wrong with your foot?" Bai Yanjiao picked up a dirty piece of clothing by her foot, wiped her hands, and stood up. Seeing An Hao limping towards her, she couldn’t help but revel in schadenfreude, "Hahaha, it seems heaven really has eyes, even it can’t bear to watch and decided to punish you."
Before she could finish her laughter, An Hao, with a gloomy face, went up to her and, with a flurry of left and right slaps, viciously slapped her twice. "Bai Yanjiao, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Do you have any humanity left?"
Bai Yanjiao, stunned by the slaps from An Hao, came to her senses and immediately exploded with fury while covering her swollen face, "An Hao, you son of a bitch, how dare you hit me! I’ll never let this go!"
Last time she had a fight with An Hao, she came off worse. This time, she was determined to vent her anger no matter what!
Rolling up her sleeves, she was about to attack An Hao with a fierce look, but Tian Niu, fearing that An Hao would be at a disadvantage, stepped forward to block Bai Yanjiao.
Seizing the opportunity, An Hao slapped her face with two more blows.
After taking four slaps in a row, Bai Yanjiao’s face was burning with pain. Having suffered such a loss, she was both angry and anxious, pushing Tian Niu away and grabbing a small wooden stool from the ground to strike at An Hao’s head.
Qin Jian narrowed his eyes, swiftly stepped forward, snatched the stool from Bai Yanjiao’s hands, and twisted her arm behind her back, immobilizing her.
"Mom! Dad! An Hao hit me! An Hao brought someone to help hit me!" Bai Yanjiao screamed at the top of her lungs and burst into tears.
Bai Xue climbed up from the kang, pushed open the door, and seeing the scene in front of her, was so angry she almost fainted.
