Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Mu indifferently glanced at him, nodded, and said, “For you to use.”
“How could this be. This is a large piece of high-grade magnetite. If you auction it off, its price would be enough to buy more than half a city...”
“Yes. Store it well and slowly use it.” After saying that, Qiao Mu headed for the carriage without looking back, not allowing any further explanation from Ao Ye.
Whether it was her previous manner or taking the money and leaving without a word or the current manner of throwing sothing and leaving without bothering with an explanation, they were both so prideful.
Ao Ye foolishly held the boiling piece of high-grade magnetite and thankfully looked at the rear silhouette of the child before swiftly disappearing from sight.
The child’s heart was actually very soft and warm, wasn’t it? It was just that she had built a high wall made of countless thorns and sharp rocks around her heart and would not easily reveal it...
Qiao Mu glanced back with a minute upturn of her lips before continuing toward the carriage.
“Qiaoqiao is back,” Qiao Zhongxing yelled. “Hurry and get on then!”
Qiao Mu nimbly jumped onto the carriage and t Elderly Lady Qiao’s seeking gaze as soon as she entered.
“Where’s that squirrel?” Elderly Lady Qiao asked with a dark face. “Quickly let it save your youngest aunt...”
Qiao Mu directly walked around the elderly woman and sat next to Shaoyao. She closed her eyes to rest without saying anything.
The carriage started moving again, but the inside of the cabin was quite stifling.
Elderly Lady Qiao held the frozen and immobile Qiao Wenjuan, repressing a stomach of fury, and covetously glanced at Qiao Mu resting against the wall frequently.
“Ziqin, look at Juan’er, what should we do? That poisonous squirrel was clearly attracted by your Qiao Mu, but it made Juan’er suffer so. This old woman can’t manage that child, but how could you not say anything either as her mother?” Elderly Lady Qiao’s heart ached for her daughter, so she could only target Wei Ziqin when Qiao Mu ignored her.
To her surprise, Wei Ziqin turned a deaf ear and kept her head and eyes down, pacifying Qiao Lin to sleep in her arms with rhythmic patting.
Elderly Lady Qiao was incensed. Seeing that everyone ignored her inside the carriage though, she could rely keep quiet.
Their group did not encounter any danger even as night ti was dawning.
They stayed the night at a small forest on the way to Xiangyang Town.
Shaoyao snatched the work of cooking noodles from Wei Ziqin and harried her to rest on the side.
This ti, they had more ample ti, so Shaoyao specially stir-fried four eggs and added pre-prepared slices of tomatoes after they ford shape and mixed it together.
After putting the tomato and egg into a bowl, she started a pot of noodles.
Then, after serving noodles to each bowl, she poured the previous tomato and egg juice over the noodles, and a bowl of steaming mixed noodles was created.
Everyone had been riveted on the side. When they obtained the noodles, they did not say anything and promptly started eating.
“Yummy.” The little foodie imdiately gave Shaoyao her highest complint.
Qiao Mu also calmly said while holding the bowl, “Quite skillful.”
Shaoyao’s face instantly pulled into a grin.
The one suffering the most was the immobile Qiao Wenjuan. She could do nothing but wait to be fed by her mother, incredibly frustrated.
When everyone’s stomachs were filled and they started preparing for bed so that they could hurry on early tomorrow morning, Qiao Wenjuan was finally able to move.
She abruptly sat up from the ground and furiously glared at Qiao Mu.
t with a lack of response from the girl, Qiao Wenjuan stood up and walked to the other end of the forest without a word.
“Juan’er, where are you going so late at night?” Elderly Lady Qiao was sowhat panicked.
“None of your business!” Qiao Wenjuan shouted angrily.
