In the darkness, I lowered my head and didn't even look at the youth. I quickly rushed forward while secretly calculating in my heart. Who was this guy? How was she going to get rid of him when she reached the Qiao Mansion?
"Be careful!" He pulled me from behind." Why aren't you looking at the road?”
I raised my head and saw a group of patrolling soldiers passing by. He almost crashed into it!
"Little girl, how dare you mingle outside like this?”He arched his index finger and knocked on my bamboo hat." Without me, you would have died hundreds of times.”
"Humph." Even if he was right, who was he? No matter how I think about it, I still feel that there's something wrong with his background. I'm a little worried.
I finally reached the street where the Qiao Mansion was located. As soon as I reached the intersection, I immediately stopped.
"We're here. You can go now." I glanced at him and said unhappily.
"We're here?" He looked ahead." I haven't seen your house yet."”
Why did he want to go home? Could it be that he still wanted to go in and have a seat so that Lord Qiao could treat him to tea? I said disapprovingly," No need. My house is just on this street. It's just a few steps away. I'll be fine."”"Alright, what are you still standing here for? Do you really want me to give you money? Why would a man be so calculative with a little girl?”
When he heard what I said, he laughed and said,"Alright, since you don't want me to stay here, I can't force myself to be an eyesore. Then I'll be leaving." As he said that, he bowed slightly and turned around to leave without looking back.
This... this change was too fast, right? When did he become so easy to talk to? I pursed my lips, feeling a little upset. Damn it, you just said that I'm beautiful, but you actually left just like that? You didn't even feel reluctant to leave?
However, now was not the time to think about this.
I saw that the youth had already left, so I immediately turned around and rushed towards the Qiao Mansion. When he reached the door, he hesitated. I wonder if Mrs. Qiao knows that I snuck out? I didn't deliberately make a detailed plan. If Orange Dance and Jiang Ge returned to the room and saw that I was missing, they would definitely look for me everywhere. What should he do now? Should he simply swagger in through the main entrance, or should he sneak in and think of a reason to avoid it?
After thinking about it, I felt that the later plan was more conservative, so I secretly went around to the back door.
He pushed the door lightly, but it did not budge. My heart suddenly turned cold. The door was locked. I remember that I only gently closed the door when I left…
What should he do? What should he do? Are you really going to force me to knock on the door and enter? If Lord Qiao finds out that I snuck out of the residence…my scalp will go numb. However, this was something that could not be helped…
"So, you are the young miss of the Qiao Manor. Is that the eldest young miss or the second young miss?”A man's voice suddenly sounded on the quiet street, scaring me so much that I almost jumped up.
I suddenly turned around. The person standing in front of me was the youth who should have left. His handsome face was filled with a dazzling smile. He looked at the towering walls of the Qiao Mansion and then looked at me. He shook his head innocently.
"You…Didn't you leave?”
"I'm leaving." He winked at me." But after thinking about it, you probably won't be able to enter the house even if you reach the door, and I didn't get my reward. It's not worth it to leave just like that.”
Although I was scolded as a little fool, I actually felt a little relieved when I saw him at my wits 'end. I relaxed all of a sudden and drooped my head. I said weakly,"That's right, I can't enter. Do you have a way?"
"There's always a way."
"What is it?" My eyes lit up.
"I can tell you, but you have to tell me first. What benefits will you give me?”he said with a smile.
I frowned." You…actually want benefits from me?”
"Shouldn't you want it?" he asked, spreading his hands. Last time, I saved your life, but you didn't even show any gratitude. You didn't even let me take advantage of you.”He smiled when I rolled my eyes at him." This time, I've decided to get paid first before I consider helping you.”
"I don't have any money anyway," I said sullenly.”
He smiled and said," That's not necessarily true. I just found out that you have something good. It's enough to repay the favor I gave you for saving your life."”He suddenly came close to me and pressed one hand on my shoulder. The other hand actually reached into my clothes.
This was sexual harassment! This was definitely sexual harassment!
Just as I was about to scream, he had already retracted his hand. He raised the thing in his hand and waved it in front of me." Take this to pay off the debt.”
I focused my eyes and couldn't help but shout,"No, no, this is definitely not possible!”
"Why not?" He carefully kept the jade pendant in his hand." This is the only valuable thing you have on you. Can you find anything else?”
I grabbed his wrist, but I couldn't get it back no matter what. I stomped my feet anxiously." You…My mother said that I have to wear this until I get engaged before I can give it to my husband's family. If I lose it, won't my father kick me out of the family?”
Unexpectedly, when he heard this, he laughed and said,"Great, so buying jade gives a beauty. Then I can't miss it. Anyway, you have a crush on this young master, so just wait to marry me.”
Damn it, why didn't it make sense? I thought he was a good person just now.
I was still thinking about how to refute him when he suddenly took a step forward and pulled me into his arms. He smiled and said,"Alright, don't be angry. I'm a man of my word. I'll send you in now.”
Before I could come back to my senses, I felt my feet leave the ground. The feeling of weightlessness made my head dizzy, but then I stood firmly on the ground again.
What just happened? I looked at him in confusion. He pinched my face again." Alright, you've returned safely. I've also received my reward. I won't stay any longer. Think about how to explain this to your mother.”
Only then did I realize that I was already standing in the courtyard of the Qiao Manor. Did he bring me over the wall?
After he finished speaking to me, he jumped onto the wall again, winked at me meaningfully, and disappeared from sight.
"Don't go! Give me back my jade pendant!" I shouted.”
His low laughter came from the other end of the wall." Little girl, don't worry. This Young Master won't abandon you."”
"Hey, you…"
However, the surroundings were quiet and no more sound could be heard.
I was depressed for a long time, but there was nothing I could do. I could only admit that I was unlucky and turn around to return to my room.
It was very quiet in the Qiao Mansion. No one seemed to have noticed that I was gone. I vaguely felt that something was wrong. Even if Master Qiao didn't specifically care about my daughter, Mrs. Qiao wouldn't just ignore it, right? If she can't see me at night, won't she come looking for me?
As I walked, I found some withered grass and leaves on the road to make my body dirty. I planned to say that I fell asleep behind the rockery later.
Halfway through, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the other corner of the courtyard. Originally, they should not have been able to hear it clearly since they were separated by a few corridors. However, it was night time and there were not many people walking around in the residence. It was abnormally quiet, and this subtle sound seemed to be extremely clear.
"You…let go!"
His soft voice was filled with obvious anger, but he did not dare to raise his voice.
Mrs. Qiao!
I was shocked and quickly ran in the direction of the sound.
