Chapter 934: 934 Chapter 934: 934 The three of them first watched Tao ijiao standing by Xiao Qinghe’s side, seemingly having a conversation.
Then, no matter what Xiao Qinghe did, Tao ijiao followed him and even ended up entering Xiao Qinghe’s room!
Zhou Fuquan joked, “Second Brother Xiao, Chuan, it looks like there’s going to be a happy event in your household.
Miss Tao obviously has her sights set on Qinghe.”
Xiao Yishan frowned, “That Tao ijiao isn’t so easy to get along with.
She’s a young lady from a town’s wealthy family, how could she take a fancy to Fourth Brother?
Even if she did, her family would never agree.”
“Just now, my wife was speaking with Tao ijiao in the living room for a while, probably discussing Fourth Brother’s matters.” Xiao Yuchuan replied, “Miss Tao is a well-known able woman in town, soone who’s decisive.
If she truly likes Fourth Brother, she should be able to make up her own mind.”
“I hope so.” Xiao Yishan was concerned about Qinghe, but he also very much hoped to find a good marriage proposal for him.
Throughout the afternoon, Tao ijiao stuck to Xiao Qinghe like glue.
Xiao Qinghe kept a cold face, ignoring her presence, but oblivious, she continued to cling to him, chattering nonstop by his side.
He remained silent, so she just kept on finding topics to talk about, bringing up matter after matter concerning the Tao Mansion.
No matter how dry her mouth got from talking, Xiao Qinghe stubbornly didn’t respond, and it was unclear whether he heard even half a sentence.
In the evening, Zhou Fuquan finished his day’s work and left first.
Tao ijiao’s driver, Lai, had also been sent back to the Tao Mansion much earlier, with arrangents made to pick her up again after five days, leaving only the maid Du Juan to attend to her.
Seeing how her young lady was so attached to Xiao Qinghe, Du Juan felt that the young lady was being foolish, but as a servant who knew her mistress’s temperant well, she dared not speak out.
Xiao Qinghe glanced at the weather, then picked up a stack of firewood from the courtyard, and went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Tao ijiao snatched the firewood from his arms, “Fourth Brother, let help you.”
“No need…” he refused.
She insisted, “I want to!” and placed the firewood by the stove side, “Are you going to cook dinner?
For how many people?”
He took a clean wooden basin to the rice vat, lifted the wooden board cover on the jar, scooped out the rice needed for dinner, covered the vat again, and fetched water to rinse the rice.
Tao ijiao spontaneously helped start the fire.
Xiao Qinghe watched her adeptly use the flint to kindle the stove fire and expressed his surprise, “You know how to cook?”
She smiled faintly, a hint of sorrow in her smile, “I didn’t know how to cook originally.
My family used to have an elder brother who was killed by mountain thieves during a business trip.
Won don’t need to carry on the family business, and I couldn’t even tell salt from MSG once, being well-protected by my family.
After my brother passed away, even my mom succumbed to grief over his untily death, and my dad beca ill.
Having no choice, I took up the family responsibilities.
Our family runs a restaurant, and as the boss, naturally I couldn’t not know how to cook.
I went from a young miss who knew nothing to learning to make the simplest dishes, managing accounts.
When I was learning to cook, I even got burnt several tis.”
She rolled up her sleeve to reveal an old burn scar about two fingers wide on her wrist, “Look, this scar is from when I was learning to make a stove fire and got burnt by the flas…”
Xiao Qinghe had originally thought she was a wealthy young lady who knew nothing, but discovering she had such a sorrowful past and was so sensible endeared her to him, and slowly, he felt she wasn’t bad after all.
Dinner was made up of a free-range chicken and fried fish that Su Qingyue had previously arranged to buy from the villagers, and she had already instructed which vegetables to fry, so they just needed to be cooked directly in the pot.
