Chapter 134 - Chapter 134:129 Chapter Private Chat_i (2/2)
Walking over, he smelled the scent wafting from the meat pies in the basket and swallowed his saliva in secret.
She looked at Qin Niu.
“It’s okay, go ahead and eat! Store the rest properly and return the basket to Miss Wang.”
Qin Niu, now different in strength and wealth from before, calmly accepted the small gift from Wang Wanyan.
Because he indeed had the ability to reciprocate the favor.
“Thank you, Miss Wang! You’re really beautiful!”
With permission granted, Xiao Qing unceremoniously grabbed a meat pie and started munching on it.
And didn’t forget to compliment Wang Wanyan on her beauty.
“Hehe, you’re quite the sweet talker! If you like them, I’ll have Mother Wu make some more and send them over tomorrow.”
Wang Wanyan was quite fond of Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing, carrying the basket, walked away.
Only Qin Niu and Wang Wanyan were left standing in the front yard, watching the craftsmen build the house.
“Air Niu, do you think we’ll be able to stop this year’s locust disaster?”
She asked with some concern.
And she had reverted to her previous way of addressing Qin Niu.
This made Qin Niu very happy.
“Hard to say. I feel there’s something eerie about these locusts, they’re not ordinary locusts, and the timing of their appearance is too precise. It’s as if an invisible hand is behind the scenes, trying to cut off everyone’s food supply. For now, the extent of the locust disaster is unknown. If it’s widespread, then the entire territory of the Black Tiger Gang will be thrown into chaos.”
Qin Niu had a foresight and insight far beyond his peers.
Since the beginning of the locust disaster, he had keenly sensed a major crisis.
“Sigh! I’m just an ordinary villager, powerless to do anything in the face of such a disaster. I really admire you—quietly becoming an Insect Master and finding a way to stop the locust disaster at a critical moment.”
She looked at Qin Niu with admiration in her eyes.
“Haha, that’s nothing! I grew up here and have deep feelings for Shuangfeng Village. Now that the villagers are in crisis, isn’t it only right that I help solve it? It’s just a shame that my level as an Insect Master is still low, and I can’t contribute much.”
Qin Niu sighed.
If only he had a group of exceptionally powerful insects, then even the worst locust disaster could be stopped.
“You’re already impressive! Otherwise, Cai Xian from Daoyuan Village wouldn’t have taken a fancy to you at first glance and even proactively come over with a marriage proposal.”
She took the opportunity to bring up the matter of Tang Caixian’s proposal.
“Hey, I’ve never taken that seriously. Miss Tang probably doesn’t go out much and acts entirely according to her preferences, with a touch of capriciousness. Give it some time, and when she meets a truly outstanding man, she’ll forget all about me.”
Qin Niu hadn’t taken the matter too seriously.
Many daughters of wealthy families, used to a life of luxury from a young age, lack experience and real societal exposure.
Just like children who haven’t grown up yet, their ideas are naive and childish.
“That may not necessarily be the case! Miss Tang is quite talented, having gone to the city from a young age to learn singing and dancing from famous performers. Even now, she frequently goes into the city, and she’s not one of those inexperienced little girls.”
Unexpectedly, Wang Wanyan knew her so well.
“Furthermore, her cousin Tang Yan holds a high official position in Black Tiger City. He occasionally invites her to attend some high-level banquets. While performing dances for the guests, she gets plenty of opportunities to meet various dignitaries. In terms of experience and exposure, I admit that I’m far behind her. The fact that she would humble herself to the point of actively proposing to you shows that you must possess some extraordinary charm.” Wang Wanyan had her own opinion; she didn’t think Tang Caixian was simply playing house.
“I was ignorant of all these things. I underestimated her. But to say that I have an extraordinary charm that has attracted her, I don’t believe it. Give it some time, and once her enthusiasm fades, the truth will reveal itself.”
Qin Niu still had some unspoken thoughts.
His standards for choosing a spouse were high; it wasn’t just any beautiful girl pursuing him that would get his agreement.
“You just don’t realize your own worth! A long time ago, I noticed you were different from other young men. You love to learn, you’re cautious and meticulous, stable and reserved. Back then, though you were poor, you still had great spirit and ambition. These are your unique charms. Hehe… and now, it seems your charm has increased quite a bit.”
She chuckled with her hand covering her mouth, sneakily glancing at Qin Niu.
“You’re just flattering me with sweet words! On the contrary, you’re intelligent, kindhearted, and decisive—truly admirable!”
Qin Niu met her bright and shiny eyes, boldly voicing some of the feelings he had suppressed for many years.
“Miss, the second lady is urging you to go back!”
At this moment, Mother Wu called from outside.
This was out of concern that Wang Wanyan would stay too long at Qin Niu’s house and become the subject of gossip.
And she feared for her loss of chastity even more.
After all, both were at the age of blooming youth, when hormones were at their peak.
“All Niu, I’ll come see you next time! If I get the chance, I would also like to learn insect control with you.”
She waved her hand and said goodbye to Qin Niu.
“No problem, as long as you’re not afraid of them.”
Qin Niu agreed readily.
Many girls screamed at the sight of a single cockroach.
Though there were some female Insect Masters, most were still male.
“Xiao Qing, bring the basket back to Miss Wang.”
“Alrighty!”
Xiao Qing had actually emptied the basket a while ago but hadn’t come over, afraid to disturb his master’s conversation with Miss Wang.
“All Niu, you can call me Wan Yan from now on! Otherwise, I’ll have to properly address you as Master Qin!”
Wang Wanyan received the basket, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Niu.
“Then… I’ll be so bold!” Qin Niu nodded in agreement.
