Chapter 325 - 325 He Doesn’t Presume
Not only once, Qiao Xiaomai stretched out his tongue to lick him again, also sending him a sweet coo in the process, “Tong Sanlang, I am so lucky to have met you.”
Tong Sanlang “…”
The breath she exhaled when she spoke sprayed all into his nape, warm and ticklish.
His eyes widened, he subconsciously swallowed, held his breath, and softly responded, “Meeting you…is also really good.”
Qiao Xiaomai chuckled, rubbed her head on his nape, then sat upright and said, “Let’s discuss the layout of the manor.”
“Huh?” Tong Sanlang was still staring, just now she was still playfully licking him, and now she wanted to seriously discuss the construction of the manor? This topic transition is a bit too quick, wasn’t it?
Yes, it was indeed a quick transition, Qiao Xiaomai got out of his arms and pulled him up, “Let’s go to my room, light a lamp and discuss carefully.”
Tong Sanlang stood up unconsciously, and sneaked into the room with her.
Qiao Xiaomai lit the oil lamp, then took out paper and pen from her pocket and started drawing enthusiastically.
Tong Sanlang “…”
He took a deep breath, struggling to calm his emotions. The girl he loved always teased him casually and then acted as if nothing had happened.
Was this intentional or accidental?
Staring at Qiao Xiaomai’s soft face under the lamp, he let out a sigh under his breath.
Nevermind.
If she wanted to tease, let her tease.
She had previously had some unpleasant experiences, and, yes, he must not be presumptuous, he must wait for her to take the initiative.
He took another deep breath, leaned over and began to discuss in a low voice with her.
This discussion lasted for half the night; by the time he left, the roosters had started crowing.
Zhao Shufen, Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi were still kneeling at the door.
He quietly observed them for a while, then quietly left.
Daylight came quickly.
The family of three only woke up after the sun had risen high in the sky. Although Qiao Xiaomai had only slept for a little over two hours, she was in high spirits. She made breakfast and then called Qiao Changshun and Qiao Daini to eat.
At the dinner table, she spoke of her plan: to build a large house under those three slopes and in the future, move all three of them there.
Qiao Changshun didn’t oppose it this time.
Moving into the farmland can provide more stable and peaceful life for him than moving into the town.
It’s great to be able to farm as soon as you step out of your house.
It’s just a bit far from the village.
“We have a ox-cart and a donkey-cart, it will only take under ten miles to get there.” Qiao Xiaomai casually reassured, then decisively said, “Then I will buy Zhaodi and Yindi, Dami, go find Grandpa Tong later.”
To buy and sell servants, one needs to register with the county’s chief.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun moved his lips but ended up not saying anything.
Forget about reputation.
As Qiao Xiaomai said, their family is now the richest in Anping Village, and they were landlords.
As long as you have silver, your reputation won’t be bad.
After having breakfast, Qiao Xiaomai opened the courtyard door.
Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi were still kneeling, Zhao Shufen was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing her come out, the two sisters immediately began to kowtow again.
Qiao Xiaomai frowned, “Alright, stop kowtowing. I’ve decided to buy the two of you to offset your father’s debt. Go and call Zhao Shufen.”
Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi looked at each other with surprise.
Does Qiao Xiaomai want to buy them?
“What’s the hold up? Go.” Qiao Xiaomai urged.
Upon hearing this, the sisters promptly stood up, supporting each other, and started running towards home.
