Shao Yunduan’s Denial
Seeing that he was so flummoxed, Qiao Xuan held her laughter and added. “The mountains must have a good view. I just want to take a walk around for relaxation. Can you come with me?”
The most important thing was that she was going to study her superpower. After all, there were many plants in the mountains.
Could Shao Yunduan say no?
Of course not!
Moreover, she was blamed for a series of hardships today, and seemed to be so pitiful.
“I got it!” Shao Yunduan nodded and looked at her. Then he gave her a reminder. “It is not an easy path to reach the mountain. There are plants with thorns, and the leaves are sharp as knives. Also, there are bugs and insects during this time of the year. You have to be prepared for all these!”
“Oh, that is okay.” Qiao Xuan laughed. “You will always be with me, won’t you?!”
Shao Yunduan’s heart skipped two beats. He suddenly flushed. “You…”
He had intended to tell her not to talk like this, but then he realized that she was right. On this trip to the mountain, he was going to be by her side anyway, wasn’t he?
She was a noble-born lady who had never been to any wild mountains! If he did not look out for her, she might get messy and totally lost!
Therefore… she was simply talking sense! It was just him who had thought it in another way!
Good that he stopped himself from telling her the words, otherwise he would get really embarrassed!
Shao Yunduan could not stand being by her side right now. This unbelievable woman was going to spill out something even more uncomfortable, wasn’t she?!
He got up and replied stiffly. “You stay here, I will take a look outside.”
Before Qiao Xuan could give any response, he turned around and dashed off.
Qiao Xuan covered her face and chuckled, as she saw the door close again.
This man was so much fun! He only knew how to read!
It seemed that she had developed some feelings towards him!
Qiao Xuan thought of how he calmly defended her when she was confronted by those annoying families. She suddenly felt that this man was actually very nice!
Then she thought deeper. Her mother-in-law was so nice, and so was her sister-in-law. The Elder Brother, Third Brother and Qi were nice as well. So was the elder Sister-in-law. As for her father-in-law… she could tell that he was a parent who loved to look good on the surface. It was a merit too. In this way, he was definitely not going to do anything shameful, like lecturing his daughter-in-law publicly. Actually, this kind of man was very easy to deal with.
For example, when she was speaking so rudely to the two women just now, their husbands got so annoyed that their veins popped out. But what her father-in-law did was only to stare at her with a look of accusation, instead of doing anything more than that.
This section of the Shao Family was really nice!
Qiao Xuan could not help but smile.
The two families must have gotten tired of the argument earlier today. So they did not say anything more at dinner.
Although they behaved terribly, she decided to tolerate them thinking that she would not have to spend so much time with them in daily life, as they were in different family sections.
The dinner went well.
After dinner, the children of the second and the third sections of the family were gone. But Second Uncle, Ms. Niu, Third Uncle and Ms. Ma remained there.
Ms. Fang said that Shao Yunduan was going to study, so she asked Qiao Xuan to keep him company in the room.
The elders who stayed back at Eldest Uncle’s home started to chitchat. They kept mentioning that he should watch out for Qiao Xuan, because she was going to bring trouble to the family etc.
Eldest Uncle became really guilty after hearing those suggestions. He nodded constantly in agreement.
