Chapter 1004: Is She Still Alive?

Peach Blossom Village was located in the mountains. There were no high-rise buildings here, and there were no feasting and debauchery. It was rather backward and desolate.

Nangong Yao’s private plane stopped in a small county town about 40 to 50 kilometers away from Peach Blossom Village. The group then drove to Peach Blossom Village.

The road was very bumpy.

Nangong Yao sat in the back of the car, frowning as he looked out of the window.

This time, there were two secretaries and a few management staff.

Sitting in the passenger seat was the female secretary, Shen Jiaojiao. Shen Jiaojiao’s father was a diplomat of the royal family. After she graduated, she became the King’s secretary with her own ability.

Of course, she was not the first secretary. The one who usually interacted with Nangong Yao the most was the first secretary.

Shen Jiaojiao was able to become one of the King’s secretaries because her ability had been recognized by the first secretary.

Shen Jiaojiao had been working by Nangong Yao’s side for half a year, but she always felt that the King did not seem to remember what she looked like.

The car jolted again because of the potholes on the road. Shen Jiaojiao bit her lip and endured the discomfort in her body. She turned around and looked at the handsome and cold man in the back.

He looked out of the car window. His well-defined facial features were tense, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line under his high nose bridge. He was like a statue without any emotion or warmth.

Shen Jiaojiao opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but she held back.

Two hours later, the car stopped at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there were many people who came to welcome the people of the tribe.

It had rained heavily yesterday, so it was all mud. Shen Jiaojiao’s leather shoes were dirtied the moment she got out of the car.

She glanced at the people who welcomed them. No one brought shoes.

Knowing that the road was so difficult, why didn’t she bring a pair of rain boots with the King?

Shen Jiaojiao walked to the back door and opened it for Nangong Yao.

“King, the road here is really too difficult to walk on. I’ll get someone to bring you a pair of rain boots before you get off the car.”

Nangong Yao did not seem to hear Shen Jiaojiao’s words. He walked out of the car with his long legs.

The village chief of Peach Blossom Village quickly came forward and shook hands with Nangong Yao.” My Lord, welcome to Peach Blossom Village for an inspection.””

Nangong Yao shook hands with the village chief and led his men up the mountain.

The road was indeed difficult to walk on. Her shiny black leather shoes were all stained with mud.

But Nangong Yao didn’t care. His handsome face didn’t show any dissatisfaction.

Shen Jiaojiao had some complaints, but she did not dare to say anything.

After all, he was here to help the poor and repair the roads here.

Nangong Yao visited Peach Blossom Village for three days.

After finishing the main things, he began to visit the people of Peach Blossom Village.

He didn’t bring his secretary and entourage. He wore a black windbreaker and went to a poor family’s house.

The poor family was an old woman who had a seven-year-old grandson.

His grandson looked like an old tiger. When he saw a stranger coming over, he was not afraid and happily brought a chair over.

“Uncle, you’re so handsome. Are you from somewhere else?”

Peach Blossom Village was too poor. The people in their village rarely saw outsiders.

Nangong Yao looked around. The house was dilapidated. If it rained, it would probably leak.
