Chapter 91: I can give you what you want
Translator: Vesper
Ning ng Yao’s two eyes lit up at the sight of the walnuts which were around 3-4 jins worth (jin = ½ kilo). “I want all of them. Here’s the money.” Ning ng Yao gave 30 wen, which was too high an amount in the eyes of the seller.
“Miss, this isn’t worth that much money.”
Ning ng Yao waved her hand and replied, “If I say it’s worth that much then it’s worth that much.”
Qiao Tian Chang automatically took the bag of walnuts and started carrying it while also holding on to Ning ng Yao’s hand. The corner of his mouth curved slightly.
After leaving the stall, Ning ng Yao eagerly looked at the hand Qiao Tian Chang held the bag in. Walnuts were her favourite thing to eat. She had been here for so long yet she’d forgotten to ask soone to go and find so, so when she suddenly saw them she really wanted to have so.
Qiao Tian Chang had no choice but to let go of Ning ng Yao’s hand and take out so walnuts from the bag. He took two and put them in his palm before crushing them together.
Usually, one would have to use a rock to crush the walnut open, but the cracking sound could be heard in Qiao Tian Chang’s hand. Upon looking again, both walnuts were cracked and the kernels sat in Qiao Tian Chang’s palm.
Taking the kernels, he placed them into her hand. Seeing how Ning ng Yao couldn’t get enough of them, he took her hand again and went in to a nearby tea house. He ordered so tea and deserts as he continued to crack and shell of the walnuts for her.
Ning ng Yao narrowed her eyes as she looked at him. Suddenly, she felt that it wasn’t such a bad thing to tag along with Qiao Tian Chang.
At the least, when it ca to eating the walnuts, she didn’t have to break them herself.
“Do you want to eat so more?”
“No, let’s leave so to eat on the way back.”
“Ok”
“Brother Qiao, you said that you like , right?” She had thought about it a lot during this ti and felt like there were so things she had to communicate clearly with him about.
Qiao Tang Chang was taken aback, before nodding his head and replying, “Yes.”
“I don’t ask for much, just not to be betrayed.” Ning ng Yao looked Qiao Tian Chang directly in the eye as she spelled it out for him.
“En?”
“For two people to spend their life together.” (T/N: aning only two people, no concubines or mistresses.)
Qiao Tian Chang looked at Ning ng Yao. Right before she was about to give up in disappointnt, Qiao Tian Chang suddenly laughed, “What you want, I can give it to you. Also, I have mysophobia.”
He had seen countless n who had multiple wives and concubines and saw enough of their dirty fights and conflicts. He was not remotely interested in having multiple wives and concubines. What’s more, n only wanted multiple wives and concubines to satisfy their own lustful desires.
If one really liked soone and fell in love with them, how could they then go and marry several other people and thereby ending up making the one they truly love dejected?
“I can’t say flowery words, but I can say this, other n might enjoy taking multiple wives and concubines, but I don’t. I’m even disgusted by it. That was the type of environnt that I was born in.” While facing Ning ng Yao, he didn’t have much to say.
Right now he really wanted to stay, he was willing give up everything he had before and just wanted to live the simple life in a remote village.
Ning ng Yao looked at Qiao Tian Chang incredulously. Was he his family’s Young Master? Or was he just the son of a concubine?
“Before eting my father, my mother was engaged to her childhood sweetheart. But because of my father’s selfishness, two families were destroyed, and my mother was ruined as well. My mom passed away when I was five years old and I was considered to be an eyesore and thorn in the side of everyone in the family.” If it hadn’t been for the good relationship he had with Xiao Qi Tian and the others since they were young, which made his family mbers hesitate to openly attack him, he probably wouldn’t have survived to this day.
After hearing this, Ning ng Yao’s heart felt a pang of sadness. No wonder he was so cold and detached, seemingly indifferent to everything.
“I understand.”
“What do you an by ‘I understand’?” Seeing her feigned calmness, Qiao Tian Chang teased her a bit.
Ning ng Yao looked fiercely at Qiao Tian Chang before lowering her head and not responding.
“After the new year, let’s get engaged.” Qiao Tian Chang suddenly said. Those words shocked Ning ng Yao to her core.
“What did you say?”
“Beco engaged.”
“Why the rush?” Ning ng Yao’s jaw dropped. Didn’t they just reach an understanding? How did they suddenly jump into talking about becoming engaged? Why in such a hurry?
Qiao Tian Chang didn’t say anything but only looked at Ning ng Yao with a fond smile. She was so outstanding that he wanted to think of a way to keep her by his side. Otherwise, if in the future soone ca and stole her away from him, even if he wanted to cry about it he wouldn’t be able to.
Under Ning ng Yao’s glare, Qiao Tian Chang finally said, “It’s just an engagent.”
