Chapter 24 Awkwardness



"You saved me!"

Xiao Yuan: "..."

I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Su Xuerong looked at his legs, which were bound like a dumpling, and her eyes suddenly reddened: "Sir, you..."

She really wanted to ask him why he called her "little girl".

This title seems ordinary, but people she knows well never call her that.

Only three years ago, the person she saved called her name a few times before he died...

But no matter how she looked at him, Ge Cong'an in front of her was not the man she used to know.

They look completely different!

Thinking about this, she couldn't bring herself to ask the question she wanted to.

She hesitated for a moment, then bowed deeply to him: "Thank you, sir, for saving my life."

Xiao Yuan did not speak to stop her, nor did he raise his hand to let her get up. Instead, he stared at her coldly.

Seeing that he didn't react, Su Xuerong knew that she had offended him with her previous words, so she said in a low voice, "I was very rude just now, please forgive me."

Xiao Yuan sneered, "I wouldn't dare! I thought you came back to confront me on behalf of Ling Qingxue!"

Su Xuerong's cheeks grew increasingly hot, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I...I was too forward..."

Looking at her face, which was so red it looked like it was about to bleed, Xiao Yuan sighed inwardly: "My lady, there's no need for thanks. I'm not the kind of person who would take lives lightly. I did send Ling Qingxue to the North because there was something important to do. If he can complete the mission successfully, he will be able to establish himself in Hangzhou."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuerong was secretly delighted.

The Ge family were originally Xiao Yuan's secret advisors. If Ling Qingxue gained the favor of this Ge Erlang, she would surely be able to serve in the Prince's mansion in the future.

In the future, if she wants to develop her own business in Hangzhou, she won't be afraid of having no one to support her.

Thinking of this, she put aside her earlier embarrassment and solemnly said to Xiao Yuan, "Sir, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, I only ask..."

"Stop!" Xiao Yuan suddenly raised his hand, his face full of sarcasm. "I don't fall for that 'offering yourself' thing!"
