Noticing her silence and anger, Tong Sanlang quickly added, “Don’t be angry. My grandfather told me to find a suitable place. I’ve already decided where to choose.”
” Where?” Qiao Xiaomai asked with a stern face.
“In the forest behind Rooster Mountain.”
Behind Rooster Mountain lies a vast, untouched forest; it’s a great place to bury things.
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai snorted and said, “Then why didn’t your greatgrandmother bury the treasure in the forest in the first place?”
“It’s not easy to transport across the mountain, moreover, it’s more reassuring to have the treasure buried on one’s own property.”
“It’s under my property.” Qiao Xiaomai glared at him.
“That’s why I said, it’s fate. You happen to be here, and this batch of treasure just happens to be buried under your house.” Tong Sanlang laughed. His eyes gleamed like beautiful gemstones, reflecting Qiao Xiaomai’s silhouette.
Qiao Xiaomai stared back at him, her small face still stern, feeling worn out both mentally and physically.
Her love affair is really tiring.
“Don’t worry. I’ll go there this afternoon to check it out and start digging.” Tong Sanlang added.
“By yourself?”
“My master will be there too. He used to live in the mountains, but he moved to the forest when Ma Dongshu arrived.”
“So the secret of my space is exposed?” Qiao Xiaomai furrowed her brows even tighter.
“My master can be trusted. He was an elder who followed my greatgrandmother. You don’t have to worry.”
“Does he know howyour great-grandmother transported this batch of treasure here?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“He doesn’t know.” Tong Sanlang shook his head.
Qiao Xiaomai snorted, “Since he doesn’t know, you’re not allowed to expose my space in front of him.”
“Alright, alright. I’ll avoid him and dig by myself. Is that okay?” Tong Sanlang said.
Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes at him, not responding.
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang pursed his lips and said, “I made a mistake. I promise I will never mention your space to anyone again.”
Qiao Xiaomai scornfully looked away, giving him another eye roll.
How tiring.
This affair is really tiring her out.
“Don’t be angry. When you’re mad, I don’t feel good either.”
“How about you hit me? Feel free to.” Saying this, Tong Sanlang stretched his arm out towards her.
At this point, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t even be bothered to roll her eyes.
It takes energy to hit someone. Not only was her heart tired, but her body was too!
“If you don’t want to hit me, should I hit myself?” Tong Sanlang asked, a touch of caution in his voice.
Qiao Xiaomai just stared at him, unflinching.
Blinking his overly long eyelashes, he murmured, “You probably can’t bear to see me hurt.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
She was itching to hit him.
“How about this, I’ll perform smashing a stone with my chest for you?” He suggested.
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
“If you don’t respond,1’11 take it as consent.” Tong Sanlang looked around. He didn’t find any rocks, but he did see the stone mill.
“This was given by Shopkeeper He, it’ll do. I’ll buy you a new one after it’s broken. My grandfather promised to raise my salary. From now on, I can get a thousand taels per month at Tingfeng Pavilion, and another five hundred taels at Jiweiju.”
He stood up and walked towards the stone mill.
Qiao Xiaomai shouted, “… Stop.”
Tong Sanlang obediently stopped, turned around, and looked innocently back at her.
” Who wants to watch such a brutish and tasteless performance?”
