The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 465 - 433: Got a Crush? (Part 2)

Of course, the reason for letting the pain slowly heal is because Yuan Bao is worried that the magical power of her Incense Fire Wishing Power will draw suspicion.

Although many people already know about her possession of the Immortal Treasure space, she doesn’t want to expose her other abilities.

Before she has the power to dominate the world, Yuan Bao’s main plan is still to play it safe.

After all, Sheng Xueyi is a lesson from the past that she witnessed firsthand.

A transmigrator with space, the perfect female lead script, but Sheng Xueyi lost her life because she didn’t know how to keep a low profile and bide her time to grow stronger.

This world is not like the peaceful era of the future.

In this era, those with power and influence can really do whatever they want.

They can kill people if they wish!

Not convinced?

You’re dead, no matter if you’re convinced or not, no one cares.

"Ah, that feels better now!"

As Yuan Bao applied her ointment and Wishing Power, Wei Qiqi finally looked relieved.

"Jiaojiao, come over here, I have something to tell you!"

After having ointment applied on her hand and feeling comfortable, Wei Qiqi beckoned Yuan Bao and led her to a less crowded area.

"Qiqi, what’s the matter?"

Yuan Bao looked at Wei Qiqi with surprise.

Usually, Wei Qiqi was straightforward and outspoken, telling her things directly, never like today, as if preparing to whisper secrets to her!

Wei Qiqi pursed her lips, wringing her hands together, appearing a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Wei Qiqi like this, Yuan Bao became even more curious.

"Qiqi, did you run into some trouble?"

"Or do you have a crush on someone?"

Yuan Bao closely observed Wei Qiqi’s expression, feeling confident that she had guessed correctly.

To change the always frank and bold Wei Qiqi into this state, it’s almost certainly about matters between men and women.

In this era, women are particularly mindful of such matters.

Although during this time, marriage was dictated by parental orders and matchmaker’s words, this was mostly for smaller households. For big families, before marriage, they would generally investigate the other party thoroughly.

Furthermore, they would often allow some contact between the men and women.

Of course, before any engagement is settled, propriety must be observed.

Only a few who lose themselves would do reckless things. And such people are mostly abandoned by their families.

It’s not that free love is not allowed at this time, but one must understand the rules.

Lust that arises should be restrained by propriety.

"How did you know?"

Upon hearing Yuan Bao’s words, Wei Qiqi stopped being embarrassed and looked at Yuan Bao in surprise.

Yuan Bao shrugged and said, "Qiqi, it’s just that there’s no mirror here. If there were, you could see your own expression, and you’d know yourself!"

"Is it that obvious?"

Wei Qiqi looked a bit panicked.

Yuan Bao nodded vigorously, saying, "Not only is it obvious, your expression just screams it!"

"Ah!"

"What should I do?"

"If my mother finds out, I’m doomed!"

After hearing Yuan Bao’s remark, Wei Qiqi’s expression could no longer remain calm.

Seeing Wei Qiqi like this, Yuan Bao also panicked a bit, quickly asking, "Qiqi, what did you do? Surely, you didn’t privately pledge yourself to someone?"

Although Yuan Bao and Wei Qiqi were as close as sisters, Yuan Bao wouldn’t cover up for Wei Qiqi unconditionally.

At this time, there were truly loads of expectations for women.

If they elope, they become a concubine; if they marry through a matchmaker, they become a wife!

If Wei Qiqi indeed did something that brought disgrace to her family, Yuan Bao would definitely not side with her.

Having married into the Wei Family, she was a Wei Family wife, a member of the Wei Family, and her priority had to be the overall well-being of the Wei Family.

In this era, if a family had a scandalous woman, it would surely affect the other girls of the same family, a shared glory, a shared disgrace.

Never mind any talk of romantic freedom?

If you were in the future era, no one would care even if you had a child before marriage.

But at this time, for a woman to do that would indeed bring shame upon the whole family.

Of course, if it was due to unforeseen circumstances, that would be another matter entirely.

"Jiaojiao, what are you talking about?"

"How could I be so foolish?"

Hearing Yuan Bao’s words, Wei Qiqi snapped back to her senses and quickly denied it.

And listening to Wei Qiqi’s denial, Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qiqi, could you speak more straightforwardly? The way you are now, you’re scaring me!"
