Jiang Yeqian grasped Qi Qingyao’s arm, nearly knocking over Qi Qingyao’s bowl in the process. She fumbled and caught the bowl, and then looked at him, an aggrieved look in her eyes.

Jiang Yeqian’s voice was cold and stern. “Make yourself clear!”

“I did.” Was she not clear? She said it clearly! Qi Qingyao was confused.

She swept his hand away calmly and continued to eat.

Jiang Yeqian was agitated. “H—He, he looked at your legs!”

Qi Qingyao said calmly while she ate, “Why are you so surprised? I’m a woman who has children, so when I tried to let him see my legs to make things even, he didn’t want to! He let me go just like that! But I saw his, haha! I have the higher ground over him!”

Jiang Yeqian calmed down somewhat. He cast his eyes down and said softly, “Didn’t you say that you have no shortage of men? Why did you pull his trousers down, then?”

“It wasn’t on purpose.”

Following that, Qi Qingyao started to boast about the incident to Jiang Yeqian and Si Jin, exaggerating from start to end.

After she finished, Jiang Yeqian was completely calm again.

Ah, so that was what happened.

After Qi Qingyao finished her story, she patted Jiang Yeqian’s arm. “Hang on, in retrospect, why are you so surprised? So what if I saw a man’s legs? Why are you acting like a virgin? Would you feel indebted to someone if they saw your legs?”

Jiang Yeqian felt fury rise up in him at the sight of Qi Qingyao’s calmness.

“I’m done!”

He promptly left his seat and returned to his room.

“Hey—” Qi Qingyao did not manage to pull him back. She watched as the man slammed his chopsticks on the table and left.

She quickly pulled her stool aside, away from the children.

Then she asked Si Jin, “What happened today? Did you bully him?”

“I didn’t. He played with Dabao and Erniu all day, while I worked with the other carpenters!” Si Jin was already starting on his third bowl of rice.

Qi Qingyao asked dubiously, “Then why did he throw a tantrum?”

Si Jin shook his head. “No idea.”

Dabao and Erniu, too, looked confused. They looked at their mother, full of questions.

Qi Qingyao shrugged.

After Jiang Yeqian returned to his room, he sat down, feeling like there was something lodged in his chest, suffocating him.

He did not understand.

Why would a woman be so uncaring all the time and accidentally pull someone’s trousers down? It was accidental, yes, but then she wanted to get even, and even attempted to pull hers down in the process. Lu Yan did not look, fortunately. If he had…

Wait.

Was such brashness commonplace in her “hometown”?

Jiang Yeqian felt his temple throb.

He felt more agitated than ever.

He opened the window and let the cold wind blow on his face.

As if he wanted it to wake him up.

After some time passed, Jiang Yeqian still felt agitated. He decided to pull on his Ox-head mask, and then he flew out from the window.

When Si Jin returned to their room, he discovered the room was empty.

Whatever.

He left from the window, as usual, and returned to the Jiuli River for a swim.

After Qi Qingyao had her dinner, she asked the servant to make some treats. She remembered that Jiang Bai had not eaten much, so she took some treats to his room, lest he starved to death.

However, no one replied when she knocked on the door.

She looked at the dark room.

It was so early in the night. It was not possible that both of them had gone to sleep already.

After some consideration, she kicked the door open.

The wind that blew in from the window was so cold Qi Qingyao shivered.
