Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 228 : Found it

Bai Meiyue had no idea that Lei Qian had such sunny thoughts about her. If she did, she would have punched the man in the face for even thinking such a thing about her. She stayed behind because she was worried that this man would not be able to deal with the mutated dog alone.

Instead of respecting that, he actually called her heartless?

Fortunately, Bai Meiyue couldn't read minds. She walked over to Lei Qian and asked politely, "Did you get injured?"

"It was a close call," Lei Qian showed his burnt jacket to Bai Meiyue. He noticed that she was feeling a bit guilty and decided to use it to his advantage. He said, "If you were another second late, then I would have lost an arm."

He didn't exaggerate the situation because he knew that it would only make Bai Meiyue dislike him even more.

But if he were to play his cards well, at least Bai Meiyue would treat him politely.

Just as he expected, though there was no expression on her face, Bai Meiyue's eyes softened a little and she apologised sincerely, "I am sorry; I didn't want to hurt you deliberately. I truly forgot about the skills of the mutated dog."

It had been so long; how could Bai Meiyue remember everything? But that was no excuse for her mistake. Lei Qian was right; if she hadn't recalled the skill of the mutated dog at the last second, Lei Qian could have died.

"There is no need to apologise," Lei Qian waved her apology aside and said, "Just be a bit nice to me in the future."

Hearing his request, Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes. She parted her lips but before she could say anything—

[Ding.]

[One thousand-year-old antique detected. Would the host like to exchange it for twenty thousand points?]

As soon as the notification of the system went off, Bai Meiyue's eyes lit up. She ignored the man and followed the red dot that was displayed on the map in front of her.

When Lei Qian saw Bai Meiyue leave, he was speechless. This woman was really too heartless! He asked for just a little kindness and she ignored him like this? It was too much.

He was the young master of the Lei family; when had he ever suffered such an injustice before?

Before meeting Bai Meiyue, he met with so many women and all of them rushed to curry favor with him without him doing anything and Bai Meiyue—she actually left him unattended after he faced a life-and-death situation?

Sure enough, the wise men were right! Love was like a sea of fire and one had to swim across to get to his beloved!

Even though Bai Meiyue showed him a cold face all day, he could only chase after her. Who asked him to fall in love with her?

Bai Meiyue didn't know what the man behind her was thinking; she was busy digging the ground after pulling the tiles.

Fortunately, Bai Meiyue carried a hoe in the space pocket with her or else she would have to dig the ground with her hands. With the hoe in hand, she carefully dug the ground. First, she was pregnant. Two, she could not damage the artifact lest the system refuse to accept it or lower the price.

"What are you doing?" Lei Qian poked his head inside the house and questioned when he saw that Bai Meiyue was scooping out the soil.

Bai Meiyue paused and turned to look at the man behind her. She blinked her eyes and threw the hoe at his feet. "Come here and dig."

"You… want me to dig?" Lei Qian asked as he looked at the hoe and the woman in front of him.

"Who else is there?" Bai Meiyue asked with her brows raised.

"But —"

"What but?" She narrowed her eyes and sneered. "You keep saying that you want to make up to me and now that I have asked you for help, you keep making excuses one after another."

Lei Qian was speechless. He wanted to say that Bai Meiyue was not innocent either. She was the one who told him that she didn't need his help as compensation but now she was asking him to dig.

However, when Bai Meiyue narrowed her eyes and looked at him, Lei Qian had no choice other than to pick up the hoe and then dig the spot where Bai Meiyue pointed. What? He wasn't a scaredy cat. Her gaze was just that effectively terrifying.

Lei Qian was certain that if Bai Meiyue shot that glare at a zombie, even that brainless monster would be scared off.

"Be careful," she told him as he swung the hoe harshly on the ground. "If you damage the antique, you will have to make it up to me."

"Sure, your majesty," Lei Qian rolled his eyes as he slowed down and dug the ground carefully.

Fortunately, the owner of the house didn't bury the antique too deep. Just a few big scoops were enough to clean up the soil over the antique and pull it out.

Bai Meiyue looked at the alluring statue of a dancer and nodded with satisfaction. This statue was worth so many points; even the smallest detail was enough to charm anyone. It was a shame that there was no one left in this world who would care about this exquisite piece of art.

So, it was better to have it exchanged with another dimension where people would appreciate this piece of art.

Bai Meiyue picked up the statue and carefully placed it in the bag that she was carrying on her back. But in truth, she had placed the statue in her space pocket; the statue wasn't small and was quite heavy. She couldn't carry it for a long time without affecting her pregnancy.

She then turned to look at Lei Qian, who was staring at her sullenly and said, "Thank you for your help, Master Lei."

No matter what, Lei Qian had helped her a lot tonight, and Bai Meiyue had not lost her conscience like the rest of the people in the world.
