Chapter 809 - You Don’t Love Me At All! (2/2)
Nan Zhi called for him a few times, but no one replied as well. He did not seem to be at home.
“Uncle, let me go ask Gu Meng if there are any doctors in the village. Mr Ah Dai might have went to the village doctor.”
Qiao Yanze was similarly extremely grateful to Nan Zhi’s savior.
The two of them arrived at Gu Meng’s house.
Gu Meng seemed to know that they were coming, as she was waiting in front of her house.
“Sister, you’re here.”
Nan Zhi hummed. “Did Mr Ah Dai come over earlier?”
Gu Meng nodded. “He did, however, he left again. He told me to tell Sister that the small injury is nothing. He doesn’t need you to be grateful and repay him with anything, so Sister doesn’t have to come to the village again.”
Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
It was extremely rare to meet such a nice person nowadays.
“Sister, Brother Ah Dai is a loner despite being a nice person. He doesn’t like to be disturbed, so I hope Sister can understand that.”
Nan Zhi naturally understood what she was saying.
She turned towards Qiao Yanze. “Uncle, can you give Mengmeng a cheque. If Ah Dai doesn’t want it, I’ll donate it to the village to repair your roads or to build a school for the students!”
Almost immediately, Qiao Yanze pulled out a cheque and scribbled on it very quickly.
When she saw the figure on the cheque, Gu Meng was flabbergasted and her mouth fell open. “Sister, t-this much money?”
Nan Zhi placed the cheque in Gu Meng’s hands. “If Ah Dai doesn’t want it, then treat it as me donating this to your village!”
“Sister, thank you so much!”
…
On their way back to Yinghua Island, Nan Zhi kept turning back to the inconspicuous fis.h.i.+ng village.
“After Sihan has recovered, I’m going to bring him here. I don’t know if I’m hallucinating, but I keep feeling that Ah Dai is a little similar to him!”
Perhaps it was due to the slow and dignified manner when he ate, or due to the habit of using his feet to put out a cigarette when he was done smoking.
However, it may also be because she was looking too much into it.
They were merely similar habits, and could mean nothing.
Nan Zhi glanced at Qiao Yanze, who was seated beside her. She asked, “Uncle, did you turn a cold shoulder towards your newly-wedded wife in order to save me?”
“I didn’t even finish the wedding ceremony with her.” At the thought of Xiao Ying staying in her room for the past two days, not eating or drinking, ignoring him as she cried all day, Qiao Yanze sighed. “However, she’s a delicate woman, so it should be fine if I humor her more.”
Nan Zhi glanced at Qiao Yanze apologetically. “Uncle, I’m really sorry for this.”
Qiao Yanze caressed Nan Zhi’s hair, smiling as he said, “It’s nothing to do with you, don’t feel guilty about it. Oh right, I sent Nan Yao to the police station, but she’s stubbornly firm about Pei Xuan having nothing to do with your kidnapping. With my uncle and aunt begging for him, I don’t have any way to apprehend Pei Xuan for now.”
“I understand.”
…
After Nan Zhi was found, Qiao Yanze’s attention returned to Xiao Ying. He was afraid that Xiao Ying would leave, so he had instructed some bodyguards to guard the room.
After he unlocked the door, Qiao Yanze stared at Xiao Ying, who was sitting at the balcony. He walked behind her and hugged her from behind.
“Are you still angry?”
Xiao Ying pushed Qiao Yanze away, her eyes filled with tears. “Did you find your niece?”
Qiao Yanze hummed.
“You keep saying that you love me, but on such an important day for the two of us, for her, you made me become a huge joke. Qiao Yanze, you don’t love me at all, do you?”
Qiao Yanze grabbed Xiao Ying’s slender shoulders with both hands, staring at her affectionately. “Who else would I love apart from you? Xiao Ying, let’s have our wedding at a better time. Or we can wait until our child is born?”
Xiao Ying scoffed in despair. “Qiao Yanze, do you think I would let you hurt me once more? I have already decided. After I give birth to our child, I will raise him alone!”
