Chapter 67 [He is such a good man! 】
Xie Qiao paused and looked at the girl in front of him.
Song Jin lowered his head slightly, as if he felt that he was saying something that was a little embarrassing.
She was a little hesitant and wavering.
Why did she think of this?
What kind of trouble did she get into that she had to use this identity as a shelter?
still……
She has her eyes on some handsome young man from a noble family, and needs the identity of a direct descendant of the Xie family to marry him!
Xie Qiao remained silent.
Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but want to slap his former self to death.
What stepsister!
What a young man!
Xie Qiao clenched his fists.
His face became even colder.
During this time, he also understood himself!
He is not a gentleman who restrains himself and returns to propriety. He just wants to possess Song Jin all by himself. Not as a sister, but as a wife who can be locked on the couch and indulge in whatever he wants with her!
As Xie Qiao had not yet spoken, Song Jin became even more hesitant.
She knew that they would have no relationship after paying off the debt, and it seemed a bit awkward for her to look for him so rashly and even use him to recognize her as his sister.
They shouldn't have had any other relationship besides the debt repayment relationship...
only……
She is really anxious now.
She knew that when asking someone to do something for you, you always have to show some sincerity or something in exchange.
Xie Qiao had no shortage of gold and silver, and his status and position were of such high status that he couldn't just make some cakes to exchange them for them.
Her cakes and pastries aren't made of gold; they're not that valuable.
What else...
Song Jin pondered.
Then an idea struck me.
That’s right!
Song Jin raised his head and said to Xie Qiao, "Master Xie, if you can do me a favor and accept me as your sister, all the debts between us will be written off!"
Xie Qiao's breathing stagnated!
He clenched his fists instantly, his face turned cold uncontrollably, and before he could think, his answer came out first: "No need, you have to do it as usual!"
Song brocade looks like a wilted flower.
Seeing how polite he was last night, I thought he was reluctant to pay back the debt, but I didn't expect that he would rather pay back the debt than do this...
The identity of a young lady from the Xie family seems really noble.
But apart from this matter, she has no other bargaining chips to offer.
Song Jin looked listless, with worry in his brows and eyes.
what to do.
She really doesn't want to enter Prince Qi's Palace.
Apart from Xie Qiao, she couldn't find anyone who could help her.
Seeing that Song Jin was about to cry out of anxiety, Xie Qiao felt as if his heart was being tightened little by little by her little hands, and he could hardly breathe.
Finally, he closed his eyes and slowly opened them again.
He asked in a deep voice, "Whose son are you interested in?"
Hmmmm?
Song Jin was a little confused.
She blinked her beautiful almond eyes and looked up at Xie Qiao, her eyes full of confusion: "What are you talking about? What young master? I haven't fallen in love with anyone yet."
The girl is well-behaved and she won't tell lies.
Hearing the girl say this, Xie Qiao's brows suddenly relaxed, and the frost on his face melted as if spring had arrived.
"Like this." Xie Qiao raised the corner of his mouth calmly.
As long as it wasn't for this incident, based on the reputation of the Xie family and him, this Kyoto would be enough for Song Jin to walk around freely.
Xie Qiao was no longer anxious. He asked seriously, "Ajin, what happened to you? Don't worry, tell me."
As Xie Qiao spoke, he stood up and took Song Jin back to the chair. He did not leave, but sat next to her.
Song Jin didn't understand what Xie Qiao had figured out.
I just felt that he seemed to have suddenly become gentle.
But Song Jin didn't have time to explore him. She was really anxious now. She clutched her small bag and said, "Today, the King of Qi sent someone to my shop to take me away to see him. The King of Qi said that he wanted me to work as a cook in the King of Qi's mansion, but I didn't want to go."
Xie Qiao frowned slightly: "King of Qi?"
Why is it him again?
Could it be that he recognized Song Jin's identity and wanted to use it to threaten me?
As Xie Qiao thought about it, his brows furrowed.
The King of Qi had been to Chongzhou before. If he was interested, he could easily find out the relationship between himself and Song Jin.
He didn't say what was in his mind.
Seeing Xie Qiao's expression, Song Jin became more certain.
You see, the King of Qi is indeed a difficult person.
Even Xie Qiao was in trouble.
Song Jin suddenly became a little unsure whether Xie Qiao would help him.
Although she was just a little commoner girl, if Xie Qiao took her in, she would be confronting the King of Qi.
Song Jin nervously grabbed the strap of her shoulder bag.
Then Xie Qiao asked, "Ajin, have you ever met the King of Qi before? Did he just ask you to be a cook?"
Song Jin shook his head: "No, I have met the King of Qi before, but I didn't know who he was at that time."
Song Jin decided to tell everything.
She pursed her lips and said, "When I was in Chongzhou, I was actually making cakes for Xiu Cui Lou, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be angry. Later, during the Chinese New Year, the proprietress of Xiu Cui Lou gave me a big order and asked me to make some cakes and send them over. If I did a good job, I would get a reward. After I finished making them, I went to send them over with Cui Er. But when we got to Xiu Cui Lou, we found that it was different from usual. There were many people guarding it, and Sister Ju Lan and the others were not there. I was a little scared, so I ran away after delivering the cakes."
Song Jin thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes, the style of pastry I made at that time was the same as the one you drew for me."
Xie Qiao nodded slightly: "And then? You didn't meet the King of Qi at that time, right?"
"I didn't have any at the time. I don't know what happened later, but someone found me and said that the nobleman in the building wanted to see me. I was scared at the time, so I asked Cui'er to go back first. Oh, that was the day Cui'er went back to find you."
Xie Qiao knew.
It was that day that he noticed the whereabouts of King Qi.
"I was taken back to Xiu Cui Tower, and the nobleman asked me where I learned the style of pastries. I felt something was wrong, so I lied and said an old woman taught me. The nobleman didn't say anything, but when I looked up, he said I looked like an old friend of his..."
From everything that happened before, Xie Qiao thought that the reason why the King of Qi came to Song Jin was related to him, but when he heard the rest, he keenly realized that it seemed to be more than just that.
He frowned: "Old friend?"
"Yeah, I don't know who that person is." Song Jin nodded, and she said seriously: "Today he called me over to be a cook in the palace. I think it's not just because the cakes I make are delicious, but also because of my appearance."
Song Jin concluded: "I think the King of Qi is a little scary. I don't want to go to the King of Qi's mansion, so I came to find you."
Song Jin was a little unsure: "I didn't cause you too much trouble, did I?"
"No." Xie Qiao confirmed.
He originally thought that Song Jin came to him to be his sister because she wanted him to give up the idea completely.
Or maybe because he has his eyes on another good boy.
But I didn’t expect that it was because of the King of Qi.
"Ajin, you have arrived at the Prince of Qi's mansion today. How did you get out?" Xie Qiao was a little worried: "Did the Prince of Qi do anything to you?"
"No." Song Jin answered simply: "At that time, I didn't want to anger him, so I just said I had to go back to pack my things. He said he would wait for me in the mansion and let me leave."
Xie Qiao looked at the girl in front of him with admiration.
His Ah Jin was so smart that he actually thought of leaving Prince Qi's Mansion first and then coming to find him.
But he knew the King of Qi well and knew he was not someone who would let go so easily, especially since the person had already entered the palace.
Song Jin came out so simply today. If King Qi didn't know that he had already contacted Song Jin, then he would be very tolerant of Song Jin.
Who does Ajin's face look like?
Song Jin had finished explaining everything, but she still hadn't gotten an answer from Xie Qiao, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue asking, "Master Xie, what I just proposed..."
Xie Qiao came back to his senses, nodded, and said: "Actually, Ah Jin, you and I are not officially divorced yet. If you want to be the wife of the Xie family, you can..."
"No need, no need." Song Jin waved his hand, and the girl said seriously: "I just want to find a place to hide this time. I don't know what the King of Qi is up to, so I thought of coming to you. What we agreed on before still counts."
Xie Qiao sighed slightly.
He didn't want Song Jin to count!
He continued, "Ajin, I'm glad you came to me first when you encountered something today."
Song Jin was a little surprised: "With our relationship, I came to you rashly, wouldn't you be angry and think I'm troublesome?"
"Our relationship?" Xie Qiao suddenly laughed softly: "What is our relationship?"
The girl answered seriously: "Our relationship is just a simple debt repayment relationship."
Xie Qiao smiled again.
This girl actually thinks that their relationship is so simple?
She really wanted to part ways after settling the matter.
But……
Xie Qiao looked at the girl opposite him like a big bad wolf looking at a little deer.
She bumped in on her own.
She ran into his house on her own.
It was she who said she wanted to be his relative.
He definitely had no reason to push people away.
Xie Qiao thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "I can agree to your matter of foster sister, but I will still tell others that you are my savior."
Song Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xie Qiao agree.
She nodded: "Yeah, okay, this is also true, I'm not lying."
Xie Qiao continued, "Everything between us should remain the same as before. There is no need to let this incident affect us."
Girl's starry eyes.
[Xie Qiao is truly a gentleman!] 】
[He didn't take advantage of the situation. He said that the past was forgotten and he didn't think I was a bother. 】
[I am not even afraid of the King of Qi for the sake of our simple relationship. 】
[Wow, I’m so touched!] 】
The girl raised her eyes and said seriously: "Xie sir, you are really a good person."
Xie Qiao thought so too and nodded.
Then he said, "Because of your status and for your safety, you cannot live in the shop. You have to live in Xie's house."
Xie Qiao's calm narration.
Song Jin didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, if she returned to her own shop, what would she do if the King of Qi sent people to capture her again?
She has no wings and cannot fly away.
By then, I’m afraid the title of Xie Qiao’s adopted sister will be of no use at all.
Song Jin nodded and said obediently, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Xie."
As she spoke, she took out some silver from her small bag and placed it on the table: "Thank you, Master. This is for my food and drink expenses during this period. I know this is definitely not enough. I will go back and get the rest."
She paused, "Don't worry, my parents and brother left me a lot of dowry money, I have money."
Xie Qiao looked at the silver coldly, somewhat displeased: "Ajin, I've said that half of my private property belongs to you, not to mention that you are my benefactor and will soon be my adopted sister, so it's only natural for you to live here. Not only that, I will also have the housekeeper give you the monthly allowance of a daughter of a marquis's mansion. You don't have to be restrained here, Ajin."
Song Jin knew that the Xie family was wealthy and would definitely not look down on her meager status, but she still felt embarrassed: "I've already troubled the family enough, so you don't have to pay me the monthly salary."
"Since Ajin has come to find me, we will be in-laws in the future. This is what Ajin deserves." Xie Qiao insisted.
Song Jin no longer refused.
After all, Xie Qiao did want to bring her back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Song Jin thought for a moment and said, "Thank you very much, young master."
Xie Qiao felt that her calling him "Master Xie" was irritating to his ears.
He looked no different from a stranger on the street.
He was her husband, before and now, in the daytime and in bed, he was her husband.
She should have called it that.
But the girl doesn't want to do that now.
He would never let the girl who just walked in be scared away.
He said, "You can call me your brother in the future."
Song Jin felt something was a little weird.
Before, she called Xie Qiao "husband", but now...
It seems like there's nothing wrong with calling it that.
She nodded: "Okay brother."
