Chapter 129 Covering... Covering Me
Chapter 129 Covering... Covering Me
Qian Ruoyun spread her hands out in front of Qian Jinyun, meaning: I've already handed over my money, so please give it to me.
"Didn't you buy it for me? Why do I have to pay for it myself?" Qian Jinyun was all smiles a second ago, happy that her sister would think of buying her something. But after hearing what her sister said next, her eyes widened immediately.
He asked incredulously, "Didn't you bring your own money with you when you went out?"
"I need to save my money to take Xiao Xiao out for good food, so of course I have to be careful with my spending."
Qian Jinyun: ......
He obediently placed a string of copper coins in Qian Ruoyun's hand: "Here, for you."
There's nothing I can do; she's my younger sister, so of course I have to spoil her.
Ye Xiaoxiao reminded, "Twenty coins will suffice, five coins each."
Qian Ruoyun counted out the copper coins and placed them in Ye Xiaoxiao's hand.
Qian Jinyun, who was standing to the side, stretched out her hand, waiting for him to return the remaining copper coins to her. Unexpectedly, his sister put all the remaining copper coins into her purse without changing her expression.
"Hey! How did you manage to take the rest too?" Qian Jinyun watched helplessly as her money went into someone else's pocket.
He took a deep breath and comforted himself: It's no big deal. It's only natural for a brother to give his sister money.
Listening to Qian Jinyun's inner monologue, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle. These two siblings were quite amusing.
Afterwards, she led the two men to greet Manager Yan, then took them into the backyard of Wuji Hall, while she went out to continue selling sachets.
As she expected, all the sachets were sold out in no time.
......
backyard.
A delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Qian Ruoyun had smelled it outside, but she hadn't expected the fragrance to be coming from the backyard of Wuji Hall.
She wanted to see which chef was better than her own.
You wouldn't have thought it was a big deal if you hadn't looked, but once you did, you were shocked.
It turns out he's Xiao Xiao's family's head chef!
If she had ever had even the slightest different feeling towards He Jing before, it has now completely vanished.
These days she has come to realize that her slightly different thoughts were simply out of curiosity about He Jing.
After all, she had originally thought that hunters were all rough, with full beards and fierce-looking appearances.
He Jing's appearance completely overturned her ideas.
Watching the skilled people working in the kitchen, Qian Ruoyun was once again amazed.
Her impression of He Jing was only his tall figure and his silent nature.
Unexpectedly, he could cook, and he was quite good at it; he was a good match for Xiao Xiao! Thinking of this, she was happy for Xiao Xiao.
“Sister, who are you looking at?” Qian Jinyun walked over and followed her sister’s gaze. “Who is this?! Oh my god!! Isn’t this…isn’t this Doctor Xiao Xiao’s…husband?”
Qian Jinyun stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The man in front of me, who looks so imposing and tall, can actually cook. This makes me feel inferior.
Is it difficult to admit that others are better than you? Qian Jinyun has to say, it's incredibly difficult!!!
Around noon, Zhao Yun'er arrived.
After selling all the pork and packing up her stall, she went straight to Wuji Hall. She still carried her knife with her, as was her habit.
"Miss Zhao, you've arrived!"
Ye Xiaoxiao hurriedly and warmly led the person into the courtyard and introduced Zhao Yun'er to the Qian siblings.
"This is my friend, Miss Zhao Yun'er. She played a crucial role in our Ah Yang's successful escape from those two human traffickers last time."
When Qian Ruoyun heard that the other person's name also contained the character "Yun," she felt that they were truly destined to be together.
“Miss Zhao, you are Xiao Xiao’s friend, so you are my friend too. Besides, we are both called Yun’er, so perhaps we were sisters in a past life!”
She enthusiastically grabbed Zhao Yun'er's hand and insisted on becoming sworn sisters with her.
Zhao Yun'er was naturally unaccustomed to being so familiar with others, and she subtly withdrew her hand.
Ever since she could remember, no girl her age wanted to play with her, because they looked down on her for being the daughter of a butcher and smelling like pigs.
At first, she still had hopes, but later, she gave up.
Over the years, I've gotten used to being alone and don't care whether I have friends or not.
Now, people are rushing to befriend her, which makes her feel a little overwhelmed.
Qian Jinyun became a little uncomfortable after Miss Zhao entered the room.
He glanced at the gleaming boning knife on her back, his eyes darting away.
The thought of how he had once dared to flirt with her without any fear of death made his legs tremble.
"Yes, yes, Miss Zhao, you are my sister's good friend. I'll protect you from now on."
After saying that, he patted his chest to assure them, to show his determination.
Zhao Yun'er glanced at the heavily pregnant Qian Jinyun with a calm expression, but did not say anything.
With a "whoosh," she placed the knife she was carrying on the steps outside the kitchen, startling Qian Jinyun into incoherent speech.
"Or...or, from now on, Miss Zhao, please...please take care of me. I'm fine with either."
