Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 281: Madness and Jealousy

Lin Yufei didn’t know how to answer, "No, it’s really something important, sorry, I have to go."

He fled in defeat.

Lin Yufei was over twenty, and at this age, it was time to think about getting a wife, but who would have thought he would fail before even starting.

Although it wasn’t his life on the line, it felt the same since it was the other person’s.

As a result, when he went to the post office with Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye, he was listless, not in a good mood.

Xu Qinghuan was sending pills to Lin Jianfeng, along with her and Lin Yufei’s letters, and one from Qiao Xinyu.

Lin Xiaolan sent letters to both her and Qiao Xinyu. When she opened them, there were actually three yuan inside, "We agreed earlier that I’d send you both three yuan a month, I keep my word."

"Also, did my brother do something stupid to hurt you? I’ve already scolded him, you mustn’t be angry, he’s him, and I’m me, just because he’s foolish doesn’t mean I am."

Seeing the letter, Xu Qinghuan felt a sting in her nose, and leaned on the counter to write back to Lin Xiaolan:

"Yu Fei didn’t mean to, things are in the past, don’t mention it again, if you do I won’t talk to you;

This time, since you sent money, it’s okay, but don’t send any more in the future, I have enough money to spend. I received a salary from the hospital here, and I’m doing translation work for the Xinhua Bookstore, and my salary is higher than yours, so you don’t need to support me, I’ll let you off."

After finishing, she mailed it together with Lin Yufei’s.

Lin Yufei also received a big package his parents sent, with things for Xu Qinghuan inside. Since she wouldn’t be going back soon, Lin Yufei left first, "I’ll deliver it to the Shangjiang Team later."

"Okay."

Xu Qinghuan received two more packages, unexpectedly from Tian Xia and Wang Juan, containing milk candies, malted milk, and biscuits, a good amount of food and necessary items.

Tian Xia wrote in her letter, "Thanks to you that day, my child and I were able to survive. I’ve always wanted to thank you, but was busy at home after childbirth, couldn’t find time, and got your address from Dean Wu, so I’m writing to thank my benefactor. You are a blessing for my child and me."

While Wang Juan’s letter was to share happy news, she was pregnant.

Xu Qinghuan wrote brief letters back to them, asking them not to send anything more in the future, assuring them that everything was well on her end. She also inquired if she could send some clothes over to be sold in the department store there.

Jiang Xingye carried the package, and the two went to the Xinhua Bookstore, submitted the translation paper, and received the previous fees for ten pieces of translation work, totaling thirty-five yuan and a heap of receipts.

"The intermediate certificate has arrived for you. How many words do you plan to take on this time? Let me know first, the difficulty of the translation is going to be calculated at an intermediate level." Gong Mingjie was quite pleased.

He had produced an intermediate-level document translation, which boosted his performance.

"Okay, I plan to aim for the advanced translator level too."

Gong Mingjie paused while holding the documents, "Are you serious? If the translation quality doesn’t meet standards, ten thousand words will be wasted."

"It won’t be substandard. How much is the pay for advanced translation?"

"Six yuan per thousand words." Gong Mingjie, if he had the skills, would have aimed for this too, as it’s much more rewarding than guarding the place daily with low salary.

"I have to tell you first, it’s not easy to be rated as advanced." Gong Mingjie warned her.

"I should be fine." Xu Qinghuan wasn’t being stubborn but confident.

Gong Mingjie admired the courage of this young woman, though he lacked understanding of the language skills and couldn’t gauge her level.

"The original text for advanced translation needs to be highly confidential; first translate these thousand words, and I’ll report it for you. Once the advanced translation certificate is obtained, I can assign corresponding tasks to you."

Xu Qinghuan took the translation paper, sat at the table nearby, and started translating. Jiang Xingye waited beside her initially, saw her sweating profusely, and took the large bamboo fan Gong Mingjie usually used to fan her.

The room lacked ventilation, with bookshelves blocking the windows tightly, and Gong Mingjie was also hot, but his fan was gone.

This time, Xu Qinghuan completed the translation in half an hour. After frequently doing writing lately, her status was back, and her speed improved a lot.

Gong Mingjie was finally relieved and also quite excited, as producing an advanced translator would earn attention from the Foreign Translation Bureau.

His performance for the year largely depended on Xu Qinghuan.

"Why don’t we leave the package here for now, and take it when we leave this afternoon?" Xu Qinghuan had more things to do later, and carrying two big packages was truly inconvenient.

Gong Mingjie quickly said, "Leave them here, come pick them up by five in the afternoon, if no one comes by then, just find me at my home."

He left Xu Qinghuan with his home address.

At the state-run restaurant, Lu Nianying and Song Wanlin were sitting together, waiting anxiously as Xu Qinghuan hadn’t arrived.

In the alley nearby, Xu Qinghuan was comforting Jiang Xingye, "We must solve this once and for all, right? There’s no thousand days of guarding against a thief, nor thousand days of being a thief, living in constant fear is unbearable. Now that the snake is out of its hole, let’s take the chance to counterattack."

Jiang Xingye understood this logic, but he was worried. If something happened to his fiancée, what good would regretting do?

He held Xu Qinghuan’s shoulders tightly, refusing to let go, yet couldn’t refute her words. His dark eyes just stared at her intensely.

Xu Qinghuan looked around, saw no one, and tiptoed to leave a kiss at the corner of his lips, beginning some humiliating negotiations.

"Follow closely behind me later, if anything happens, it won’t escape your sight, right?"

"Be good, and listen, if this goes well, I promise you one request."

"What request?" Jiang Xingye could speak now.

"What do you want me to promise?"

He leaned closer to her ear and whispered something, Xu Qinghuan blushed furiously, and responded angrily, "What kind of dirty thoughts are you always having in that mind of yours?"

Jiang Xingye held her waist still, just looking at her.

Xu Qinghuan pursed her lips and slightly nodded, and he finally released her.

Nevertheless, Xu Qinghuan didn’t leave, she had him turn around, facing the alley, using herself as cover, her hand reached under his shirt. Jiang Xingye trembled, felt the cool hands traveling over his abs, igniting flames with every touch.

His blood was boiling, his voice trembling. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He couldn’t withstand teasing, especially if Xu Qinghuan did it deliberately.

Her fingers rested on the waistband of his pants, Jiang Xingye gasped, and couldn’t help but seize her mischievous hand.

Xu Qinghuan withdrew her hand, pinched his cheek, giggled, then raised her head, startled by his gaze, desire surging, clouds gathering, if not outside, he would engulf her.

Xu Qinghuan’s joke was a bit excessive, she suddenly pushed him, Jiang Xingye stepped back, watched her run away.

He could have caught her, but then what would he do with her?

He rested his hand on the wall, slightly bent over, waiting for the turbulent feelings to dissipate.

"Jiang Xingye, you rogue, what are you doing here? Planning some mischief again?" Li Ninghua saw a girl run away, and upon checking, it turned out to be Jiang Xingye.

Thinking how he couldn’t handle a flirtatious widow now, yet Jiang Xingye could flirt with girls here, Li Ninghua couldn’t ignore the scale Jiang Xingye stood up on.

Driving women crazy, making men jealous.
