BXBX NOVEL Chapter 272: This Speed is Terrifying
He dropped her off in the Qiao Family courtyard, with Tong Sanlang bending slightly to set Qiao Xiaomai down, reminding her, “Keep up the pretense for the next few days, don’t give us away.”
Seeing this, Xiaomai reluctantly released her hug from around Tong Sanlang.
Her right arm had been encircled around his waist.
This embrace was so warm that it made one yearn for more.
She gathered herself, ensuring that her little thoughts were not on display on her face, her eyes staring intently at Tong Sanlang’s handsome face, she nodded, “I understand, don’t worry.”
“Well, take care of yourself. As for things at the Sun Family… I’ll keep an eye on them,” Tong Sanlang said.
“Okay.” Qiao Xiaomai nodded, her gaze remaining firm.
Her gaze seemed to carry a flame, burning with intensity, making Tong Sanlang slightly uncomfortable.
He subconsciously straightened his already stiff back even more, “You should rest first?”
“Can you cook for me? I am hungry.” Qiao Xiaomai pointed towards the kitchen.
She had been busy at the new Tong Family residence since breakfast and hadn’t even had time for a drink of water.
“Sure.” Tong Sanlang nodded.
He was pleased to be able to do something for Qiao Xiaomai.
Thus, the two of them stepped into the kitchen, with Qiao Xiaomai filling a basin full of Spiritual Spring water from her space and indicating to Tong Sanlang to use this water for the cooking.
Tong Sanlang didn’t ask anything and simply nodded, planning to make Egg Pancakes and rice porridge.
So Qiao Xiaomai stood at the kitchen entrance, watching Tong Sanlang work.
Her gaze remained intense, making Tong Sanlang almost clumsy. To avoid mistaking sugar for salt, he suggested, “You should lie down on the bed.”
“It’s okay, you have good hearing. When my father is about to come home, just let me know.”
Tong Sanlang, “…”
Qiao Xiaomai coughed softly.
Well, she also believed her behavior was a bit strange.
But she didn’t want Tong Sanlang to leave just yet.
She always follows her heart’s feeling, and this time, she was going to do the same.
Her dark eyes spun around, she raised her hand, presenting a few beautifully packaged sweets.
“Sanlang, here, let’s have a small chat, shall we?”
“Huh?” Tong Sanlang turned his head, not understanding her meaning.
When he saw the candies in her palm, his dark pupils contracted in surprise. By their appearance, they looked as exquisite as the treasures found under their grounds.
After the initial surprise, he asked very calmly, “What are these?”
“Candy, very delicious.” Qiao Xiaomai walked over, put a few candies in his hand, took out two more from her space, peeled one and put it directly into Tong Sanlang’s mouth, and ate the other one herself.
The round candy inflated her cheeks, she asked with a smiling face, “Is it tasty?”
“Very tasty.” Tong Sanlang nodded in agreement.
It even had three layers, more delicious than any candy he had ever eaten.
“Then let’s casually chat. For example… about the treasure under my house, what exactly is it?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“Huh?” Tong Sanlang looked puzzled.
“Like what’s inside, and how you guys managed to bury it, those kind of details.”
” Why do you ask this?” Tong Sanlang swallowed the candy, looking even more bewildered.
“I don’t plan to move, so I think I should have the right to know.” Qiao Xiaomai raised her eyebrows.
She had a hunch, if she continued to follow her heart, she might voluntarily jump onto Tong Sanlang’s ship…
This was not something to joke about.
And the progression was too fast.
She thought with Yang Ye around, she wouldn’t get involved with the treasure.
But just after a few days, she was considering the possibility of voluntarily jumping onto this ship.
This speed was simply terrifying.
