Upon hearing this, Huo Beixiao could only carefully and helplessly put her down on the ground.
The moment her feet touched the ground, she immediately tried to break free from the man's grasp, but as soon as she pushed him away, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Huo Beixiao reacted quickly and caught her, "Wife..."
Yang Qiaoqiao then realized that because of the intense activity last night, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up.
There's still some pain between my legs, as if... it's swollen.
She couldn't help but give the man a resentful look.
The man discovered her physical condition while cleaning her.
Feeling a little guilty, he touched his nose and then picked her up in his arms again, saying, "Wife, let me carry you."
Yang Qiaoqiao glared at him and punched his firm chest. "It's all your fault!"
Huo Beixiao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
After saying that, he looked at the little woman in his arms with a pitiful expression, "But, wife, it's not entirely my fault. You were the one who wouldn't let me stop last night."
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
She quickly covered the man's mouth with her hand, feeling utterly ashamed and indignant. How could she possibly talk about something like this?
"Hey, what's wrong, Qiaoqiao? Are you sick?"
Huo Beixiao had barely stepped out of the house when he heard his sister-in-law's voice asking him questions from inside the courtyard.
Huo Beixiao used to always have a cold face, but now, under Yang Qiaoqiao's guidance, he is becoming more and more amiable.
She greeted the other person with a polite smile, "Sister Zhang."
Aunt Zhang said, "Director Huo, I see that Qiao Qiao's face is so red. Could she have a fever?"
"An adult having a fever is unlike a child who's growing; you need to see a doctor right away..."
As she spoke, Yang Qiaoqiao's face turned even redder.
The woman next to Zhang, who was going to the market with her, noticed something amiss.
She nudged Zhang's arm with her elbow in a suggestive gesture and said, "Zhang, you're mistaken. Qiaoqiao isn't sick at all."
He was clearly just too tired.
Aunt Zhang didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion, "It's so early in the morning, everyone has just woken up, what's there to be tired about?"
"Pfft—"
The women nearby had already realized what was going on, and one of them said ambiguously, "Sister Zhang, did you see how muscular Director Huo was back in the summer? He was more robust than an ox. Director Huo's competence isn't just limited to his work."
Sister-in-law Zhang suddenly realized, "Oh—"
He then smiled knowingly and said, "Qiaoqiao, you and Factory Director Huo have such a good relationship!"
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the soft flesh on the man's waist hard.
The man easily supported her with one hand.
He could even free up one hand to hold her mischievous little hand, his eyes and brows full of doting smiles.
He politely said to the women, "Please continue with your work, Qiaoqiao and I will be leaving now."
As he spoke, he carried Yang Qiaoqiao into the car.
Yang Qiaoqiao looked at him reproachfully, her eyes full of resentment.
He couldn't resist giving the petite woman's full lips a light peck. "Wife, don't be angry. The sisters-in-law were just telling the truth. I also think I'm quite capable."
Jiang Qiaoqiao was so ashamed and indignant that she kicked his shin, "You still dare to talk back."
But then the man grabbed her calf, lifted her up, and kissed her ankle before begging for mercy, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, honey, don't be angry."
Huo Beixiao drove directly to the guesthouse where Peng Cuiying was staying.
Peng Cuiying didn't dare to go to Yang Qiaoqiao, but she was already waiting at the entrance of the guesthouse.
Upon seeing Huo Beixiao's car arrive, she immediately beamed with a smile, held her head high like a victorious rooster, and walked towards Huo Beixiao's car.
Before getting into the car, she spat on the ground, "Pah, you sycophantic dogs, even if I'm down on my luck, you dogs can't bully me."
After saying that, she proudly got into the car.
After settling into the car, she sat in the back seat with her arms crossed, looking like an empress dowager giving orders.
"You bought sleeper train tickets, right?"
“Let me tell you, I’ve never suffered any hardship in my life. If you buy hard-seat tickets and expect me to sit with those old farmers who smell like pickled vegetables, I won’t agree to it.”
"I heard the boxed meals on the train aren't very good. Lin Xiaohui's braised food is alright, barely edible! You guys go and ask her to cut off a couple..."
"Brother Xiao, pull over!"
Yang Qiaoqiao spoke with a cold expression.
“Hey, hey, I told you to go to Yang Benya to chop up ducks, what are you doing parking here?” Peng Cuiying shouted quickly.
"Get out!" Yang Qiaoqiao said coldly without any mercy.
Peng Cuiying's expression changed several times.
In the end, she realized that it was her attitude that had upset Yang Qiaoqiao.
However, at this moment, she crossed her legs, crossed her arms, and looked completely unfazed. "Jiang Qiaoqiao, you don't need to scare me."
I've thought it through these past three days. It's not that I need you to take me to the North City; it's that you absolutely must take me to the North City.
"Anyway, if you don't send me to Beicheng, you'll be my only daughter in Yun County. If you don't care about me, I'll make a scene in front of your clothing store and the cement factory every day!"
I'd like to see if your business can even continue operating!
"I'm already doing you a favor by agreeing to go to Beicheng with you now. You'd better be sensible and meet my demands, otherwise, if I'm not having a good time, neither will you!"
Peng Cuiying's voice was full of threats.
Yang Qiaoqiao gave a cold laugh. She didn't know what had happened that made Peng Cuiying mistakenly think that she was afraid of her making a scene, and that she had the power to threaten her.
"Get out!" Yang Qiaoqiao repeated.
Peng Cuiying raised her neck, her expression becoming even more haughty.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Huo Beixiao making a phone call to summon someone.
Not far from the cement plant, Ou Gang, wearing cement plant work clothes, came out of the plant with a cigarette in his mouth.
Although Ou Gang still retained some of the appearance of the movie theater thug he used to have, upon seeing Huo Beixiao, he immediately stubbed out his cigarette and bowed and scraped like a lackey, asking Huo Beixiao, "Brother Xiao, the comrade in the reception said you need to see me?"
Huo Beixiao's face remained expressionless as he coldly said, "Get that woman out of the back seat. Don't let her get in my wife's way."
"Okay!" Ou Gang immediately nodded and bowed, replying, "I'll take care of it right away, and I definitely won't let my sister-in-law have any worries."
As he spoke, he reached out and opened the back door.
While cracking his knuckles, he said in a nonchalant tone, "Old woman, get down here! Don't force me to do it!"
