Star Dome Railway: Give the man you love a home

Chapter 693 Pepper Hill x Original Heroine 103

"I never said I was a gentleman." Jiao Qiu had a faint smile on his lips. He stood up slowly and then sat back in his original seat leisurely.

Listening to Jiao Qiu's words, Ruan Yan crossed her arms over her chest and snorted angrily from her nose.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. I have something important to discuss with you this time."

Jiaoqiu packed up all kinds of medical instruments, took out a fan like a magic trick, opened it with a "snap", and then waved the folding fan gracefully.

"You say." Hearing the seriousness in Jiaoqiu's words, Ruan Yan turned her gaze to Jiaoqiu, but she still didn't dare to meet Jiaoqiu's gaze.

"I will be going to the valley soon. I have been restricted for too long and want to return to the free and easy life."

Jiao Qiu's light golden eyes looked at Ruan Yan, as if containing endless tenderness, and he said with a smile.

"When will you come back?" Ruan Yan was stunned when she heard that. It sounded like her uncle would be away for a long time. That meant she wouldn't be able to see him for a long time.

"I have not yet decided when I will return." Jiao Qiu still had a smile on his face, and his light golden eyes seemed to be filled with some teasing and mockery. "Why, my lovely little nephew is reluctant to let me go?"

"Oh, no, I'd rather you leave. I'm going to take over this big house and all the money you left behind!"

Ruan Yan turned her head away, refusing to admit that her secrets had been touched upon.

Ruan Yan felt a faint sadness in her heart. She had finally made up her mind, but her uncle-master was about to leave.

"Hey, I was thinking about how to convince you to go with me, and I racked my brains to come up with several reasons. Now, I'm a little embarrassed."

Jiaoqiu's voice was as pleasant to the ear as a clear stream, and it seemed to contain a strong smile.

"Since you have prepared your reasons, just tell me. Maybe I will agree to your request reluctantly."

Ruan Yan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She was naturally very happy to be able to go out traveling with Jiao Qiu, but she just couldn't stand the way her uncle was teasing her at the moment.

Jiaoqiu then indeed listed several reasons. Ruan Yan did not stop, so Jiaoqiu continued to talk.

The look that Jiao Qiu gave Ruan Yan was like a deep pool, filled with deep doting and smiles.

For this trip, Jiaoqiu actually had a reason to take Ruan Yan away with him.

Jiaoqiu prepared a new medicine for Ruan Yan. The most important precious herb in the medicine only grows in the valley where Jiaoqiu's master is now, and it is only in the valley.

Now, there are only a few of the priceless precious herbs left in Jiaoqiu's hands. Jiaoqiu must take Ruan Yan there and wait until Ruan Yan's illness is completely cured before coming back.

While treating Ruan Yan, Jiao Qiu could also take Ruan Yan to visit his medical master.

"Okay, I'll think about it and get back to you in a couple of days." Ruan Yan had actually agreed in her heart a long time ago, but on the surface she deliberately said this in front of her uncle.

"Then you should rest early. Good night." Jiao Qiu said with a smile. Knowing that Ruan Yan had already agreed, Jiao Qiu said goodbye to Ruan Yan and left Ruan Yan's room leisurely.

Mo Ze came back this time on Fei Xiao's orders to check on Ruan Yan's condition and deal with the remaining rumors in the city that Ruan Yan was a monster.

The incident of Ruan Yan being thrown into prison implicated some problematic officials. Since Jiao Qiu was not convenient to step in, a secret shadow guard like Mo Ze stepped in to resolve the issue.

For those whose crimes were so serious that they warranted the death penalty, Mo Ze would simply stab them to death with his knife.

Those who started and spread the rumor that Ruan Yan was a monster were directly convicted and arrested.
