Chapter 65: Departure

When he said this, a murderous aura faintly appeared around him. If Hu Ronger saw it, she would probably pee her pants on the spot.

But Erdong did not obey his orders immediately as he did in the past.

He calmly responded, "I disguised myself and infiltrated the village on orders from His Majesty. I had two missions: the first was to protect you, and the second was to investigate the kidnapping case. Now that my mission is unfinished, I cannot return."

"The trafficking case has been investigated, and I don't need your protection." Mu Qing had anticipated his words and refused completely.

Erdong raised his head and asked, "You don't need it, but what about Hu Xin'er?"

There was a moment of silence.

Indeed, Mu Qing knew in his heart that with his current abilities, he could not guarantee that Hu Xiner would be completely safe.

Even the landlord bully cannot be dealt with quickly, and Hu Xiner has to live in fear and be on guard against the Hu and Luo families every day. How can we talk about giving her a lifetime of peace?

A peaceful life is good, but it does require sufficient strength to guarantee it.

He suddenly realized that he really couldn't stay in this village anymore.

"You're right." He sighed slightly, "Then you can stay."

Erdong knelt on the ground and did not get up: "So when are you planning to return to Beijing?"

Mu Qing's eyes turned cold again: "You know what I mean, don't push your luck. I just promised you to stay. I have no interest in my past identity or affairs."

Erdong was indeed asking despite knowing the answer, so he clasped his fists and replied, "Yes!"

"If you go back without completing the task of protecting me, you will be severely punished. If you want to stay with me, you must agree to one condition of mine." Mu Qing said seriously.

Erdong lowered his eyes and said, "I will do my best to complete any of your instructions."

"I hope so. I want you to never reveal my identity in front of Hu Xiner. Apart from protecting me, you must stay out of our family's business." After Mu Qing finished speaking, he stood up.

Erdong was not surprised and agreed immediately. However, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This gentleman seems to have really fallen into it.

Who could have thought that the man who stirred up the turmoil in the capital would be defeated by a small village woman?

Mu Qing didn't want to stay in Erdong's courtyard for long, but he walked very slowly on the way back.

He was thinking about how to tell Hu Xiner that he agreed to move.

After all, he had said so firmly before that he would not move, and he even gave her a cold shoulder and quarreled with her for it.

Now that he suddenly agrees, I feel like I'm contradicting myself.

After a mental struggle, he opened the door of the big tiled house with some trepidation.

Unexpectedly, I saw that all the items in the house had been packed and put away neatly.

Hu Xin'er was busy packing her things. Seeing him come back, she said awkwardly, "You're back? This is the last bag of clothes."

“You are…”

Mu Qing was stunned. He had clearly said to think about it first before he left.

How come everything is packed when I come back?

Hu Xin'er put down the things in her hands and walked over with a smile: "I guessed you would agree, so I packed up in advance. Am I right?"

All his worries and anxieties were dispelled by her playful smile. Mu Qing praised her helplessly yet lovingly, "You're so smart! You guessed it right!"

"What did Erdong say?" Hu Xin'er approached him affectionately. "How much can the tiled house and the shop be sold for?"

Mu Qing was a little uncertain: "I think it will have to be sold at a discount."

"Should?" Hu Xin'er frowned, realizing that things were not simple. "Did you forget to ask?"

Then she saw Mu Qing nodded silently.

As soon as he entered, Erdong knelt down and asked him to return to Beijing. When he was leaving, he was still struggling with how to tell Hu Xiner. Didn't he forget about it?

But Hu Xin'er didn't know that her eyes were gradually becoming strange. Late at night, her handsome husband had sneaked out to chat with a strong and handsome young man, and when he came back, his eyes were still hesitant and tangled.

Oh no... Could it be...

"Did you and Erdong know each other before? Or does he have something on you?" She felt that this matter had to be made clear, otherwise she would always feel like she was being cheated on.

She believed in her husband's character and was not worried that Mu Qing would cheat on her.

But compared to Erdong, Mu Qing seems so frail and easy to be pushed down. I am so worried that Mu Qing will be coerced by Erdong!

Mu Qing used the same trick again, trying to get away with it.

He suddenly held Hu Xin'er's hand and asked lovingly, "Xin'er, do you believe me?"

"I believe it!" Hu Xin'er nodded vigorously. "If there's anything hidden, tell us and we'll shoulder the responsibility together!"

If Erdong is really a beast in human skin, she will find a way to poison him to death!

"He doesn't have any leverage over me, but we did know each other before." Mu Qing stroked her hand. "I was catching up with him today, so I forgot. You can punish me."

Hu Xin'er repeatedly confirmed: "Are you really not coerced by him?"

Only after receiving Mu Qing's affirmative answer did she feel relieved.

Alas, my husband is so handsome that he has this kind of trouble.

Not only do we have to worry about female hooligans, but we also have to be wary of homosexuals who prey on us.

The next day, she and Mu Qing went to discuss the sale of the shop and house with Erdong, and asked Erdong to find a new house.

Everything seemed to be ready, but she forgot one thing: the advertisement she wanted to draw was not yet finished!

She had no choice but to work hard all night long. After she finished drawing all the advertisements, she notified the merchants to come and pick them up, and at the same time said goodbye to them.

Everyone was surprised.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Mrs. Li held her hand. Although Hu Xiner had told her in advance, she was still reluctant to let her go.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Hu Xiner forced a smile, feeling a little sad.

Everyone understood how badly Hu Ronger and the Luo family harmed the young couple after their business developed. It can be said that they were forced to leave by Hu Ronger and the Luo family.

They all sighed and said, "It's really hard to be a good person."

"The Luo family is used to being domineering, so it's better for them to leave early."

"Boss Hu, can we still order advertising from you?"

"Sure, of course!" Hu Xin'er perked up a bit at the mention of money. "Fellow villagers here, if you ask me to advertise, I'll give you a 10% discount!"

Boss Jin came over, holding a jewelry box in his hand: "Boss Hu, I wish you a prosperous business in the future!"

Everyone also congratulated her. This was the first familiar place Hu Xiner had come to since she traveled through time. Now she had to leave and she felt very reluctant.

She leaned on Mu Qing's arms and cried. Mu Qing comforted her softly, "We'll see each other again in the future."

All the things had been loaded onto the oxcart and were ready to depart. Hu Xin'er, choking with tears, repeatedly told Li Sangui and Li Sao: "You must come to town to have tea with me in the future."

After saying goodbye, the two of them boarded a bullock cart and officially headed for the town.
