207: His Affections 7

His Affections 7

She had already explained to Heir Pei that she was not Su Hexiao but he did not believe her… 0

It was akin to being mistaken as someone who had been famous for a long time in the community by someone from the Jianghu community.

Yet, she did not know how to make herself any clearer than she already was. However, when she thought about it again, the more she explained, the more people believed that she was someone famous.

Qi Qingyao then thought about how she did not have inner energy, and that she was not even able to cultivate it like a person from this world.

Not to mention.

Others had been cultivating it since they were young. She was turning twenty soon, what the heck should she even cultivate it for!

For someone without any foundation to be assassinated by a professional of this continent, well… she could only sit and wait for her corpse to disappear. 

Fortunately, she was rich. 

Qi Qingyao gave Si Jin a hundred taels of silver in a way that showed off how wealthy she was. 

"Go hire some capable bodyguards for me."

Si Jin looked at the bills and said, "You have me, sister."

Qi Qingyao said, "I do have you, but the point now is that the bodyguards could prevent our enemies from leaving their base."

Si Jin thought that made sense and promptly left. 

If only Qi Qingyao knew that the people from last night were sent by Jiang Yeqian, she would realize that there actually were no people who were trying to assassinate her…

…

The children heard the discussion between their mommy and Si Jin and instantly felt nervous. They thought, 'We can't simply run around anymore in the future! We can't let ourselves become a burden to Mommy!'

Dabao immediately started thinking, 'What if mommy got an expert to assess Dabao's talent? He could get them to teach him martial arts!'

He needed to grow up quickly so that he could properly protect Mommy in the future!

Erniu and Xiaobao were also thinking along the same lines. 

Qi Qingyao did not realize that the children were growing faster and faster in this arduous environment. 

After they cleaned themselves up.

Qi Qingyao had just called for their breakfast. As they were preparing to start eating, Si Jin returned, bringing someone in tow. Qi Qingyao pointed at the ox-headed man who reeked of alcohol and spoke with a dark expression.

"Why did you bring him back again?"

Aggrieved, Si Jin pointed at Jiang Yeqian and explained, "Sister, he said he was free."

"I do not need dishonest people, even if they're free." Qi Qingyao said decisively. 

"I…" Jiang Yeqian took off his mask. He rubbed his forehead and looked at Qi Qingyao with bloodshot eyes. 

He also had no idea how he ended up coming back here after getting chased away by Tan Xiangdie after drinking too much. 

Having snapped out a little from his hazy stupor, he then realized that he was standing firmly at the back of Longmen Inn. 

He felt conflicted. 

Just as he was about to leave, he bumped into Si Jin. 

Unruffled by the new development, Qi Qingyao asked calmly, "Do you plan on telling the truth now?"

Jiang Yeqian wanted to say something but was a bit hesitant and stopped. He then grabbed her and pulled her over to next door, closing the door behind them.

Gritting his teeth, Jiang Yeqian said, "Since you want me to be honest, then I'll tell you the truth."

Qi Qingyao was paying full attention. 

She was standing to the side, at ease as she looked at him.

Jiang Yeqian lowered his gaze, "Actually, I... haven't regained my memories, but I don't want to leave."

"Your reason?" Qi Qingyao widened her eyes slightly and asked coolly.

Jiang Yeqian immediately said, "I'm curious about you."

"What's there to be curious about me?" asked Qi Qingyao.

As if she were not a curious person?

Jiang Yeqian said, "For one who used to be a fool but is now intelligent; I'm curious about your relationship with the Master Architect Li Qinglian as well as your relationship with the miraculous doctor Su Hexiao. The reason I want to remain by your side is that I want to find out the truth."

"Alright… I accept your reason." She was truly such a mysterious person and the people she attracted were also likewise curious! Qi Qingyao said hurriedly, "But if you haven't gotten your memories back, how did you know that the person who wants you dead was looking for you in Baishui Town and that they might be in Qingzhou City?" 

Jiang Yeqian, "..." He had miscalculated.
