198 What Agreent
Just as the atmosphere was getting too tense between them, Xiaoguo was saved by the words of the man loading the cart. She heaved a sigh of relief.
“Got it.” Su Changsheng pretended to look at Xiaoguo regretfully. “Happy tis are destined to be short.”
Xiaoguo gave him a fake smile. She kept claiming that it was a pity, but in her heart, she was thanking the heavens. “Hurry up and leave, you profiteer.”
As Su Changsheng was getting on the carriage, he added a line that got Jiang Danhe all riled up. “Then, Mrs… Madam Qin, it’s settled. We’ll et again in the future.”
He deliberately didn’t call her Mrs. Jiang. There was no reason for that—he simply did it on purpose.
Xiaoguo nodded at his words. She knew what he was talking about. “Okay,” she said. “See you next ti.”
Su Changsheng deliberately waved his sleeve and gave Xiaoguo a aningful look before bending down to get into the carriage.
The sullen-faced Jiang Danhe watched the carriage leave while Xiaoguo stood by his side, wearing a fake smile on her face.
Once the carriage left, Xiaoguo imdiately wiped the fake smile off her face and retracted her arm with all her might from Jiang Danhe’s big hand.
“It hurts!”
Xiaoguo rubbed her arm and complained to Jiang Danhe.
Jiang Danhe felt a little guilty. He had exerted too much strength just now so he hurriedly apologized to her.
Xiaoguo looked at his forehead. She knew that she was also at fault, so she simply brushed the matter aside.
Seeing that Xiaoguo was fine, Jiang Danhe asked the question that had been bothering him from just now.
“What did you agree on?”
Xiaoguo rolled her eyes clumsily at him. Without answering him, she turned and walked ho.
Jiang Danhe blinked with his big eyes and followed behind Xiaoguo. He kept asking the sa question as if his life depended on it. “What did you guys agree on?”
Su Changsheng, who was sitting in the carriage, had just lowered the curtain. Just as he was exclaiming about the geographical environnt, the horseman spoke.
“Young Master, Old Master wrote to you yesterday urging you to go back. It’s been a while since you left ho. It’s ti to go back.”
“Got it. We’ll set off the day after tomorrow.” Su Changsheng sighed. “We have to co again next year. Jiabao, rember this location well. We should keep in touch with this family after the new year.”
Jiabao lifted the curtain and looked at Su Changsheng who was wearing a solemn look on his face. “Young Master, are you serious?”
“Of course.” Su Changsheng glanced at him. “Milk is good stuff.”
Jia Bao wrinkled his nose. Cow’s milk had a weird taste. He couldn’t stand it.
“Look at you.” Su Changsheng patted his head gently. “We don’t have milk in our country yet. Only foreigners have it. However, they don’t export cows, so I don’t know where she got her cows from. In any case, rember to make more trips and visit her after the new year.”
“Oh, got it!”
Su Changsheng sat up straight and thought about the ti when he went to Great Britain. The foreigners there could not do without milk. Their snacks were all made of milk and they tasted pretty unique. If those snacks could be sold in Shao Country, it would definitely be popular among the people here. Unfortunately, the foreigners did not sell cows or milk to other countries. He could just look on helplessly.
However, who would have known that this little village woman has two cows here? Fortunately, he had made this trip. Otherwise, he would have missed out on this big surprise. Moreover, based on what she said just now, it seed like she knew how to make those milk snacks.
If it was the case, he had run into another money-making opportunity again. He could open a new specialty store. The possibilities of milk products were more than he could ever imagine.
Su Changsheng was feeling so tempted by his ideas. However, this matter could not be rushed. It takes a lot of ti for a cow to reach adulthood and it only produces milk when it is pregnant. There was no way to rush this. The more precious it was, the more valuable it would be.
Su Changsheng’s mind was racing as he did his calculations. The sums he deduced were exhilarating.
He couldn’t stop himself from laughing out loud.
When Jia Bao heard the laughter, he sighed helplessly. His young master was good in every way. He was handso and had a good family background. He also had money and looks, but there was one bad thing about him. He was obsessed with money.
…
“Are you done…”
Xiaoguo stood in front of the chopping board with a kitchen knife raised. She looked at Jiang Danhe, who was standing beside her, and nudged him helplessly.
Unexpectedly, with just a light push, Jiang Danhe looked like he was about to fall over.
Seeing this, Xiaoguo quickly threw down the kitchen knife and went to grab him.
Jiang Danhe took advantage of the situation and hugged her in his arms. He nestled his head against her and said aggrievedly, “What did you guys agree on?”
Xiaoguo chuckled. It had only been a few days since she last saw Jiang Danhe. Where did he learn to wheedle like this?
Sohow his tactics seed to work. She started to blush. “Go away.”
“No.”
“Alright, was he pretending not to hear her?” Xiaoguo nudged Jiang Danhe again.
“What on earth were you…”
Not again…
“Stop!”
Xiaoguo was speechless when she saw that Jiang Danhe was about to ask the sa thing again. Although It had only been a few days since she last saw him, it felt like three years had passed. If not for the fact that he still looked the sa, Xiaoguo would have thought that the real Jiang Danhe had been replaced by another person.
Jiang Danhe blinked his eyes and looked at Xiaoguo as if he was trying to figure out sothing.
Xiaoguo nodded and said patiently, “Let go. I’ll tell you.”
Jiang Danhe slowly loosened his arms. Xiaoguo seized the opportunity as he loosened his grip to do a 180-degree turn. She raised her arms and slapped Jiang Danhe heavily on his back.
Imdiately, the sound of flesh hitting flesh rang out.
The air seed to freeze. Three seconds later, Xiaoguo cried out and clutched her right hand, wailing in pain.
It was too painful. Is his flesh made of iron?
“G… Guo, hush hush.”
Jiang Danhe could feel Xiaoguo patting him on his back. After which, she imdiately started wailing. He held Xiaoguo’s hand and gently blew on it. “Be good. It will stop hurting soon.”
“I’m in pain!” Xiaoguo was not impressed. “Is your flesh made of iron? It hurts so much.”
This was the first ti Jiang Danhe had seen Xiaoguo behaving like this. He found it a little refreshing and looked at her lovingly. “So what do you want
to do?”
“I want… I want…” Xiaoguo thought carefully about what she wanted. But after a long ti, nothing ca to mind. She then continued to repeat the sa words,”I want, I want….”
Jiang Danhe blushed and looked around. “We’ll talk about it tonight.”
… Emoji black man with a face full of question marks…
Xiaoguo looked at Jiang Danhe in a daze. What did she say? Why did he bring up the night?
There was a mont of silence in the air. Jiang Danhe began to realize that he had misunderstood her words. For the sake of his pride, he continued to ask the question that he was asking earlier.
“What did you agree on?”
Xiaoguo sighed and turned to pick up the kitchen knife once again to cut the vegetables. When he continued to ask, she quickly told him everything that she and Su Changsheng had agreed upon.
“Oh, I see.” Jiang Danhe smiled when he heard that. So that was what happened.
“Wash the vegetables? Is there anything else to wash?” Jiang Danhe asked and answered himself. “Alright, that’s all.”
Jiang Danhe was quite perceptive. Before Xiaoguo could flare up, he had already brought the basin to the well to start washing the vegetables.
Thanks to this small episode, Jiang Danhe had forgotten to ask about last night. Therefore he did not realize that his forehead had been slapped. By the ti he had a chance to look in the mirror, the slap mark had completely faded
