Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 40: Caught off Guard
"My point is, if those people hadnβt specifically targeted you, this thing might have really been stolen," Gao Huabin awkwardly scratched his head, explaining anxiously. π³ππ²ππ πππ»πΌπ§π²π₯.πππ¦
Maybe, but even if this important item had been lost, someone else would have tried to intercept them. Qin Kaize had confidence in this. So, he didnβt want the young girl by his side to get involved in such a dangerous situation, especially when he couldnβt do anything himself.
"Thatβs true," Su Yijia nodded in agreement and then looked at Qin Kaize. "Donβt worry too much. Youβve been in the army for so many years; you should trust them to handle this. Moreover, Iβm very obedient. Iβll do whatever you ask, and I wonβt do anything you tell me not to. There shouldnβt be any problems."
She raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly at him. If it werenβt for the tears she had seen in the girlβs eyes just now, Qin Kaize might have believed that she was truly unafraid.
He blinked his eyes twice and stared directly into Su Yijiaβs eyes. The intentionally softened glint made Su Yijia somewhat uncomfortable.
"Do you need to use the restroom?" she coughed lightly and asked.
No.
Qin Kaizeβs breathing paused momentarily, and he blinked quickly.
"Then letβs chat." Su Yijia picked up the notebook that was placed aside and placed it in front of him. "Donβt be afraid. We need to check your health."
Qin Kaize was still somewhat worried, considering that the girl had spent a long time with that box. He wondered if her health might have been affected.
"Okay, when this is all resolved, weβll go to the hospital together," Su Yijia readily agreed, not finding it troublesome at all. Even though she knew that with such tight security, it was impossible for them to get hurt.
Qin Kaizeβs current condition was best not to argue with him. The inability to express emotions and thoughts smoothly could make a person irritable. Increased impatience could lead to psychological problems.
"In the afternoon, they talked about the Three Kingdoms on the radio. Iβll play it for you later. Iβll go to the kitchen now to make green bean soup. Do you like sweet or plain flavors?" Su Yijia switched to a lighter topic.
With the current situation, it was best not to confront him. Being unable to express emotions and thoughts smoothly could make a person irritable. Increased impatience could lead to psychological problems.
"They said Three Kingdoms would be played on the radio this afternoon. Iβll play it for you later. Iβm going to the kitchen to make green bean soup now. Do you like sweet or plain?" Su Yijia switched to a lighter topic.
"Iβll drink whatever you like." Qin Kaize blinked and a bright smile lit up his eyes, dazzling and enchanting.
Caught off guard by his flirtatious response, Su Yijiaβs cheeks blushed.
She put the notebook aside and hurried out of the room. Just as she left, she saw Qinβs mother lingering outside the door. The momentary excitement in her heart quickly subsided. She didnβt want to talk to the woman, but Qinβs mother hurried up to her.
She wanted to say something, but when she saw two unfamiliar men suddenly appearing in the courtyard, she immediately closed her mouth.
Like a shadow, she followed Su Yijia into the kitchen. Su Yijia lowered her voice and asked, "Iβve noticed you all coming in and out in a hurry. Whatβs going on? You shouldnβt have stirred up trouble with the wrong people outside, right? Kaize is like this now, canβt you just stay put? The people from the army canβt guard our house forever. Do you want to get our entire Qin family killed? We agreed that youβd stay over when we have a banquet. What are you doing here now?"
"Where are the green beans?" Su Yijia asked, searching the kitchenβs cupboards but only finding rock sugar, white fungus, and lotus seeds. She couldnβt see any green beans.
However, she had set her heart on green bean soup, and she didnβt want to substitute it with anything else.
