18 I Could Match I (1/2)

Jonah gave her a sour look when she said that. ”I'm sure he wouldn't.” Then he grabbed her by the arm and guided her to their car and helped her get in.

”Why? You would tell him about my plans?! You traitor!” Han Jie exclaimed to which he just responded with a grin as he started the car.

”Hmph!” Han Jie was quite annoyed. Jonah started the car and drove out of the hotel.

Han Jie crossed her arms over her chest as she murmured to herself. For her, Jonah was a good person and she could not ask for a better companion during these times. However, she kept being reminded that his boss was her father.

”Jo-nah…” she called out on a sing-song tone.

”Yes, miss?” Jonah asked with a frown. He was always wary when she called him this way.

”How much is your salary?”

”Eh?” Jonah asked dumbfounded. ”Why would you ask that?” the tone of his voice sounded quite suspicious.

It was easy to guess why, but he was the type that would always clarify first before assuming.

”I am thinking if I could match it. See? Why not pledge your loyalty to me instead? I swear you will have a peaceful life with the same salary.” Han Jie offered with confidence.

”Ah. No, thank you.” it did not even take for Jonah a lot of time to think. It was almost impossible to have a peaceful life with Han Jie.

If she was drawing like twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week that was still possible. But if she was not, then better brace yourself for a nerve-wracking situation.

”Tsk! You will regret this!” Han Jie said with fake hurt. She was just trying and considered to be refused. However, it still annoyed the hell out of her when it was blurted out in her face, immediately.

”Sorry, Miss…” Jonah felt bad, but better be safe than sorry.

”Hmph! Now, where are you going?”

”We. Aren't we supposed to go to the doctor? That is where we are going.” Jonah clarified.

”Were we given visitation rights?” Han Jie questioned still sulking.

”He's not in prison you know,” Jonah said laughing.

Han Jie huffed in anger. She was going to give Jonah the silent treatment. That was the case throughout the drive.

Jonah smiled to himself, despite the awkward atmosphere. 'Ah, this is what you call peaceful.' he thought to himself, feeling delighted.

It did not take long for them to arrive at the village where Bai Min lived.

He was living at one of the upper scale villages in County P on a medium-size cottage.

The Bai family was a clan of doctors. They had a long history with medicine and because of it, they were respectable people that managed to amass wealth from their profession as well.
