The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife

419 Exposed!

Zhao Zhan, who had already turned around and was about to step into the courtyard, immediately turned his head when he heard this. He looked at her with a sharp gaze. “I don’t know anyone with the surname Liu.”

“Of course, you don’t know anyone with the surname Liu, but you should know the one with the surname Shang.”

For the first time, Zhao Zhan carefully looked at Liu Qinqin’s face and found that her eyes and brows were similar to Shang’s. “You’re Shang’s daughter?”

“Hmph!” Liu Qinqin snorted and raised her chin to look at him. “Now you want to look at me?” Don’t think that I don’t know that you and my father are sworn enemies. You came from Huai County to Shangjing because my father chased you here, right?” Liu Qinqin thought of what Shang had told her and became even more arrogant. “If you tell me the truth about how you feel towards me, I’ll ask my father to let you go. How about it?”

!!

“Everything I said just now was true. As for asking your father to let me go,” Zhao Zhan’s voice paused for a moment, and then he curled his lips sarcastically, “I’ll have to trouble you to go back and that man to wait for me.”

The door closed with a bang.

Liu Qinqin angrily slammed the long whip on the door, making a dull sound.

The servant who had come with Liu Qinqin did not dare to stay too close to her. She only bowed from a distance and said, “If your father knows that you were here today, he will definitely punish us when you go back. You should quickly return with the servants. There are many eyes here. If others see this, it will affect your family’s reputation.”

Liu Qinqin only kicked the door when she was tired.

The door suddenly opened from the inside, and she subconsciously wanted to grab the person in front of her.

Zhao Zhan dodged to the side.

“Zhao Zhan!”

Liu Qinqin was sprawled on the ground, the skin on her palms scraped from the rough ground. “Who allowed you to suddenly open the door?”

“It’s too noisy outside. I’m worried that it’ll affect my wife’s rest, so I’m going to report a case. I’ll have to ask the officers to come and take you away. Are you going to just lie here and wait for them to come?”

The servants didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly helped Liu Qinqin up. “We’ll take our lady away and won’t bother you any longer.”

“Thank you, please leave as soon as possible.”

“Yes, of course.”

The person in front of them was a fiend that even Shang found troublesome to deal with. How could they dare to casually provoke him?

Liu Qinqin still wanted to say something, but she had already been pulled into the carriage. She pulled open the curtains and her voice came from outside.

Zhao Zhan’s face did not change in the slightest. He stood in place for a moment before turning around and walking toward the restaurant.

Shang had already arrived in Shangjing. He could not let him follow suit anymore, so he wanted to come up and bite him.

“Zhao Zhan, what are you doing here?” Fang Tianliu was busy with the accounts in the backyard of the restaurant. “Didn’t you just send Doctor Sun to tell us that all the children are well and staying at home? Why did you follow Doctor Sun when he already sent the message?”

“I’ve come to you because of Shang.”

Fang Tianliu’s expression turned cold. He stood up and closed the door tightly before sitting back down. “Zhao Zhan, are you going to use the method that we originally came up with?”

“Exactly.” Zhao Zhan’s fingers tapped on the table leg. “I only found out today that the girl I met at the city gate and the rouge shop that day was actually Shang’s daughter. Before this, we’ve never heard of him having a family. Now that Shang is in Shangjing, we can’t wait for him to come to us like before.”

Fang Tianliu clenched his fists. “To be honest, I’ve long wanted to beat that old fox until he can’t fight back. This time, we’ll settle our old and new grudges together.”

The two of them discussed a few more details. When the sky turned dark, Fang Tianliu went to the shop to look for Li Xiangjun while Zhao Zhan went back.

Yue Jiaojiao had already woken up and was sitting on the floor in her room, looking at the two children.

She had asked a carpenter to make a few sets of building blocks for Zhao Nian and Luoning; the blocks were so large that they couldn’t put them in their mouths even if they wanted to.

When Zhao Zhan entered the bedroom and saw this scene, he subconsciously lightened his footsteps.

The sky was dark, and the orange sunlight shone into the bedroom through the window, scattering gold specks on the floor.

The soft light shone on Yue Jiaojiao’s body, enveloping her in a layer of light.

Her eyes were warm and her lips were curved into a gentle smile.

The two children surrounded her on either side, playing happily with the building blocks on the blanket. They looked up at their mother from time to time, and then made baby sounds.

Zhao Zhan’s chest puffed up, filled with satisfaction.

“Zhao Zhan?”

The emotion in his eyes was too strong. Yue Jiaojiao, who sensed it, subconsciously looked up at the door. Then, the smile on her face suddenly grew bigger. “You’re back! Shitou was worried that his mother would not be able to stay here for long. It just so happened that Doctor Sun had returned, so I had Doctor Sun send him back to the shop.”

Yue Jiaojiao said as she stood up.

Zhao Zhan had already washed his hands and face. He walked over to her and put his arm around her shoulders. “Do your legs feel numb from sitting on the ground like this?”

As he spoke, he sat down on a chair at the side and pulled Yue Jiaojiao’s wrist to sit on his lap. His strong knuckles pressed on her calf and gently massaged it. “I’ll make you a stool that can be moved when you sit on it. This way, when you’re with the two children in the future, it’ll be more comfortable to sit with them.”

He massaged her lower leg for a moment before his fingers moved up to Yue Jiaojiao’s slender waist and pressed down.

“Is your waist uncomfortable too?”

“Yes…” Yue Jiaojiao’s entire body felt comfortable after being massaged by him. She lazily borrowed the strength of his other arm and leaned back. “I woke up today and realized that my date came early, so my back is a little sore.”

“I noticed you when you stood up just now. I’ll take care of the two children. What do you want to eat tonight? Do you want Madam Qin to cook, or do you want me to run an errand to buy your favorite dishes from Qingyun Restaurant on the street?”

Qingyun restaurant was Yue Jiaojiao’s recent favorite place because their dishes always had a certain taste that made her want more.

“I want to eat the rice ball you made today. I want it hot.”
