Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 40: Caught off Guard
"My point is, if those people hadn’t specifically targeted you, this thing might have really been stolen," Gao Huabin awkwardly scratched his head, explaining anxiously. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Maybe, but even if this important item had been lost, someone else would have tried to intercept them. Qin Kaize had confidence in this. So, he didn’t want the young girl by his side to get involved in such a dangerous situation, especially when he couldn’t do anything himself.
"That’s true," Su Yijia nodded in agreement and then looked at Qin Kaize. "Don’t worry too much. You’ve been in the army for so many years; you should trust them to handle this. Moreover, I’m very obedient. I’ll do whatever you ask, and I won’t do anything you tell me not to. There shouldn’t be any problems."
She raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly at him. If it weren’t for the tears she had seen in the girl’s eyes just now, Qin Kaize might have believed that she was truly unafraid.
He blinked his eyes twice and stared directly into Su Yijia’s eyes. The intentionally softened glint made Su Yijia somewhat uncomfortable.
"Do you need to use the restroom?" she coughed lightly and asked.
No.
Qin Kaize’s breathing paused momentarily, and he blinked quickly.
"Then let’s chat." Su Yijia picked up the notebook that was placed aside and placed it in front of him. "Don’t be afraid. We need to check your health."
Qin Kaize was still somewhat worried, considering that the girl had spent a long time with that box. He wondered if her health might have been affected.
"Okay, when this is all resolved, we’ll go to the hospital together," Su Yijia readily agreed, not finding it troublesome at all. Even though she knew that with such tight security, it was impossible for them to get hurt.
Qin Kaize’s current condition was best not to argue with him. The inability to express emotions and thoughts smoothly could make a person irritable. Increased impatience could lead to psychological problems.
"In the afternoon, they talked about the Three Kingdoms on the radio. I’ll play it for you later. I’ll go to the kitchen now to make green bean soup. Do you like sweet or plain flavors?" Su Yijia switched to a lighter topic.
With the current situation, it was best not to confront him. Being unable to express emotions and thoughts smoothly could make a person irritable. Increased impatience could lead to psychological problems.
"They said Three Kingdoms would be played on the radio this afternoon. I’ll play it for you later. I’m going to the kitchen to make green bean soup now. Do you like sweet or plain?" Su Yijia switched to a lighter topic.
"I’ll drink whatever you like." Qin Kaize blinked and a bright smile lit up his eyes, dazzling and enchanting.
Caught off guard by his flirtatious response, Su Yijia’s cheeks blushed.
She put the notebook aside and hurried out of the room. Just as she left, she saw Qin’s mother lingering outside the door. The momentary excitement in her heart quickly subsided. She didn’t want to talk to the woman, but Qin’s mother hurried up to her.
She wanted to say something, but when she saw two unfamiliar men suddenly appearing in the courtyard, she immediately closed her mouth.
Like a shadow, she followed Su Yijia into the kitchen. Su Yijia lowered her voice and asked, "I’ve noticed you all coming in and out in a hurry. What’s going on? You shouldn’t have stirred up trouble with the wrong people outside, right? Kaize is like this now, can’t you just stay put? The people from the army can’t guard our house forever. Do you want to get our entire Qin family killed? We agreed that you’d stay over when we have a banquet. What are you doing here now?"
"Where are the green beans?" Su Yijia asked, searching the kitchen’s cupboards but only finding rock sugar, white fungus, and lotus seeds. She couldn’t see any green beans.
However, she had set her heart on green bean soup, and she didn’t want to substitute it with anything else.
