The next second, he chuckled lightly, and his gaze was withdrawn from Lu Moqing’s face and turned back to Qiaoxu, saying,
"In ancient tis, the grace of saving one’s life required offering one’s body in return."
Qiaoxu had no reaction to his words, her expression was calm and her deanor was plain.
After all, during her confinent by Bai Yu, she had heard him say these words many tis.
Not to ntion, the young lady who had once helped him, whom he ntioned on the deck, Qiaoxu could sense Bai Yu’s concern and affection for her, and it was clear that he really liked the young lady.
So, in her opinion, Bai Yu just had a foul mouth and liked to say ambiguous words without reason.
It would be fine if it were soone else, but there was a vinegar jar next to her who liked to drink vinegar as water.
Qiaoxu frowned and looked at him sowhat disapprovingly, saying,
"Now is not ancient tis."
Bai Yu looked at her serious appearance and laughed out loud.
Qiaoxu didn’t want to continue this aningless joke, and she could clearly feel that soone beside her was already upset.
Thinking of Bai Yu’s appearance here and the purpose of their trip to the mountains this ti, she suddenly beca more cautious, asking,
"Why are you here?"
Hearing her question, Bai Yu’s face faltered slightly.
Seeing the undisguised caution in Qiaoxu’s eyes, it seed as if a needle had pricked his heart, and it hurt a little.
He didn’t answer Qiaoxu’s question but instead stared at her with a half-smiling expression, causing Qiaoxu to frown involuntarily.
"You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to."
Anyway, she didn’t really want to know, and it was always a good idea for Island Master to be cautious around him.
This was the first ti Lu Moqing had faced Bai Yu directly. He had investigated this man several tis before but could not find out his identity. Lu Moqing knew he was no ordinary person.
Lu Moqing now saw that his wife didn’t get closer to Bai Yu just because he had saved her, making him feel much happier.
"Since you’re fine, rest well and we won’t disturb you."
Lu Moqing took the lead to speak, and in front of Bai Yu, as if declaring his own sovereignty, he put his arm around Qiaoxu’s shoulder and led her away.
Qiaoxu didn’t object, only admonished, "You rest well," and left.
Bai Yu didn’t ask her to stay either, but looking at the intimate figures of the couple, a dark glow flashed in his eyes.
"What do you think is the reason Bai Yu ca here?"
After leaving the dical tent, Qiaoxu couldn’t help but ask Lu Moqing.
Lu Moqing wasn’t very familiar with Bai Yu and couldn’t make out any bits of information about him even after such a long investigation. When Qiaoxu asked him about Bai Yu now, he really couldn’t answer.
"That person is extraordinary, we should be more cautious about him."
Lu Moqing didn’t worry about Bai Yu taking advantage of him, but Bai Yu clearly had ulterior motives towards his wife, so he couldn’t let his daughter-in-law spend too much ti with him.
Being cautious of Bai Yu was sothing that Qiaoxu understood even without Lu Moqing saying it.
She wouldn’t blindly trust Bai Yu as a good person just because he saved her, without any precautions, just like Gu Junhao did.
For now, Qiaoxu wasn’t too concerned about Bai Yu. The most pressing thing to deal with was the disaster relief work following the landslide.
As for this mountain infrastructure project, it was inevitably going to be delayed.
