Chapter 202
(70.3)
The paper kites on the stall were not very good-looking, and the paper used to make them couldn’t hold up under the wind, the kites would end up broken after a couple of use.
Xiaoman nodded her head, and her little body obediently returned to lying on Ming Zhu after bouncing up, her voice was sweet and soft, “Okay.”
Ming Zhu carried her back home and locked the door before letting her down.
The little girl walked around the yard with her short legs, fell flat on the ground, froze for a long time, before she started to cry loudly, sobbing and choking, very aggrieved.
Ming Zhu looked amused and helped her up, gently patting the dust off her body, “Does your butt hurt?”
“Yes.”
“You have to walk slowly.”
The little girl pretended not to understand, and looked at her with big opened moist eyes, “Xiaoman is hungry.”
Ming Zhu sighed, took her little hand, and went inside the house to eat breakfast.
Ming Zhu was unaware that she was being watched. A carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the man sitting in the carriage, after a long time, said slowly, “Let’s go.”
Naturally, the secret guards he had brought over from the capital were left here.
The man ordered, “Be careful, don’t let her find out.”
“This subordinate understands.”
Zhao Zhi had yet to figure out what to do with her. Just now, he had barely been able to restrain himself from rushing out and grabbing her to go back. He had to hold himself back repeatedly before he was able to calm down.
She had gained some weight and her complexion looked good, looking at her face, he could tell she had lived a good life for two years, free and carefree.
Zhao Zhi was tired of her tricks of running away from him. He thought of thousands of ways to lock the person up last night, so that she would never have the opportunity to escape from him ever again in her life, as well as methods to make her afraid.
But just now when he saw her holding the child with a smiling face, standing under the lightly dazzling morning sun, all other thoughts could be thrown away, as long as she was alive.
He just wanted her alive.
Zhao Zhi’s heart seemed to twitch again, a dull pain struck him, wave after wave. He lifted the curtain to breath some fresh air, and his pale face slightly relaxed.
Ming Zhu had the feeling that there were eyes staring at her from behind her these days. She was feeling anxious and uneasy in her heart, always afraid that something was going to happen.
It was rainy during spring, and there was a big spring rain in the city that evening. The rain was loud, and the rain only calmed down after half an hour.
Ming Zhu coaxed the child to sleep and took out a new oil-paper umbrella from the trunk. Taking the umbrella with her, she said to Hong Ling: “I’m going out for a moment.”
Hong Ling was puzzled, “You want to go out under such heavy rain?”
Her clothes would definitely end up thoroughly soaked.
Ming Zhu looked at the sky, raindrops were falling on the ground one by one, the turbid rainwater was overflowing along the cracks of the stone on the ground. She bit her lower lip, “He didn’t bring an umbrella.”
Hong Ling was stunned, “Who?”
Ming Zhu’s face became obviously red, and she whispered three syllables: “Wei Chiyu.”
“Oh, then quickly go!”
Ming Zhu took another oil-paper umbrella and ran out, there were no people on the road in this heavy rain, but she still felt like someone was behind her back. She stopped and looked back, but the street was empty.
Ming Zhu suppressed the confusion in her mind and continued to walk forward.
Halfway through, Ming Zhu met Wei Chiyu. The man was holding an umbrella in his hand, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he seemed surprised to meet her here, “Zhu Zhu, how come you are here?”
The man was wearing a blue gown, and she couldn’t see the expression on his face clearly in the darkening skylight. From a few steps away, one could feel his righteous and stern aura.
Even if she wanted to, Ming Zhu couldn’t hide the oil-paper umbrella behind her. She lowered her head and said the truth, “The rain was too heavy, I thought you didn’t bring an umbrella, so…”
Wei Chiyu asked: “So what?”
The magnetic voice forced Ming Zhu to blush, and she couldn’t say it.
Wei Chiyu gently held her slender wrist, led her under the eaves of a building, before taking out a handkerchief to wipe the water marks on her face. He said, “So you came to pick me up, right?”
Ming Zhu’s wrist was still being held in his hand, and her red neck betrayed her embarrassment, “Mmh.”
Wei Chiyu explained to her in a gentle voice: “I didn’t bring an umbrella, my colleague lent me one.”
Ming Zhu stumbled as she spoke, “Oh.”
Wei Chiyu hadn’t spoken to her for several days. He suddenly took out a pair of earrings from his sleeve and placed them in her palm, “I got these two days ago.”
Jasper beads, set in gold thread. This pair of earrings looked very expensive.
Ming Zhu’s eyes contained shyness, and her cheeks turned hot, “Those are for me?”
Wei Chiyu smiled and asked rhetorically, “If not, then who else?”
“Oh.” After a while, she finally consented to raise her head and look at him straight, her shy appearance looked very candid, she said, “I like it very much.”
