"Yes, Master, you..."
Pity him, don’t know how he’s going to swallow this later.
Master Zhou Qi, however, cheerfully walked out. He just had to see how different the granddaughter of the Xiao family was that even his mother would plead for her.
"Master Qi has arrived."
Soone announced loudly from outside, and Chun Nuan’s heart skipped a beat.
But she remained neither humble nor arrogant, standing up to pay respect to Master Zhou Qi.
"This young woman, Chun Nuan, greets Master Qi. May I know what business brings Master Qi here?"
"Are you really the granddaughter of Doctor Xiao?"
"Indeed, I am."
"I don’t think you look like it."
Chun Nuan... What exactly are you looking for that would match?
No, right now, not only do you think I don’t look like it, but even my own mother wouldn’t be able to tell.
"As the granddaughter of Doctor Xiao, surely you would understand dicine. This is not an illness; it’s an allergy. You must know that, right?"
"Pardon my ignorance, but I truly am not aware."
"Forget it, let’s cut to the chase." Master Zhou Qi relented, "Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and mice beget digging offspring. But there are exceptions, such as Doctor Xiao’s granddaughter not being a grandson; not understanding dicine is normal."
"Please speak, Master Qi. This young woman is all ears."
Though appearing calm on the surface, Chun Nuan was quite anxious inside.
"You want to take so winter clothes to the Northern Desert?"
So this was the reason he ca to see . Talking about this made her spirited again.
"Indeed, I do request Master Qi to grant this favor."
"Alright, write down your father’s and their nas, and then bring the winter clothes to Liu Xiang Garden."
Did he just agree?
No other conditions?
Chun Nuan dared not express gratitude too early, fearful of an unexpected condition requiring her to stay.
"Is what I said hard to understand?"
Master Zhou Qi was both amused and annoyed by this swollen little girl who looked like a pig’s head. Wasn’t she supposed to give thanks now?
What is she doing, spacing out?
"No, not difficult to understand. Master Qi’s aning is to have this young woman write down the nas and the winter clothes so that Master Qi can help send them over." Chun Nuan pinched her palm hard, pretending to be calm as she said, "May I know what the fee will be from Master Qi’s side, so I can prepare?"
"No need."
What?
Chun Nuan truly didn’t understand now.
"I..."
Just as Master Zhou Qi was about to speak, the doorman reported that the third young master of the Zhao family requested to see him.
Zhao Minghua has arrived!
Chun Nuan felt a surge of delight within. This kid might be unreliable at tis, but now he seed like a savior descending from the heavens. Finally, relief.
"Zhao San, what’s that kid here for?" Master Zhou Qi frowned, "I don’t even want to see his parents, let alone him. Tell him to buzz off as far as possible."
"Yes, Master Qi."
The servant quickly went to deliver the ssage.
Just as Chun Nuan was about to say sothing, she heard Zhao Minghua wailing like a slaughtered pig outside.
"Master Zhou Qi, Master Zhou Qi, please release Miss Xiao. Don’t worry, I’ll find one, no, no, ten of the prettiest girls to serve you well."
"This Zhao San is just as dense as his mother!"
Hearing Zhao Minghua’s cries outside, Master Zhou Qi could hardly resist gagging him with a rag.
"Master Zhou Qi, maybe the third young master has so misunderstanding. Why don’t you let him in and clear things up face to face..."
Don’t let Zhao Minghua leave; without him, there’s no assurance for .
"You..."
Master Zhou Qi looked at Chun Nuan and suddenly laughed in annoyance.
"Did you arrange for him to be inford to guard against ?"
How awkward, her intentions were directly exposed.
"Did you think I was going to do sothing to you?"
Well, it’s not just thinking so; everyone would think that.
No, wait, does he an he wouldn’t do that to ?
"You ca to see looking like a pig’s head, to prevent sothing like that."
Great, called out again.
Wow, Master Zhou Qi is quite the tease, tearing down your disguise to mock you.
"You really are..."
Master Zhou Qi really was amused to the point of laughter.
"You can leave now, go far away. I’m not in the mood to see you anymore."
"Thank you for your help, Master Zhou Qi. I’ll make sure to properly repay you."
"A hundred taels of gold, do you have it?"
What?
Chun Nuan was startled again, though he could have just taken it, he used such a civilized thod.
"Since you don’t have it, don’t ntion any repaynt in front of ." Master Zhou Qi decisively said, "What I want to do, I’ll do without a fee; what I don’t want to do, even a thousand taels of gold couldn’t change my mind."
"Chun Nuan thanks Master Zhou Qi."
This wasn’t about receiving money, not collecting it ant owing a favor, and that was a hard debt to repay.
Apart from offering her body, what else could she do for him? Still, she had to return the favor sohow.
"Master, Miss Liu is having an episode again."
The servant reported, "Master..."
Before he could finish, Master Zhou Qi dashed off like an arrow.
Chun Nuan... if not now, when?
She quickly slipped away too.
