Chapter 75: An Qingrong (1/2)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The whip in the girl’s hand whistled against the wind, about to hit in the face of the man in white. The girl had just arrived here, but the young man would be the third victim she had hurt. What a fierce and bad-tempered girl!
Hong Yu and Xiaotao stared at the girl with eyes wide open. If this handsome man got whipped in the face, he would be disfigured for sure.
To their surprise, the man didn’t even get out of the way to avoid the whip, which made everyone present worried.
An Rushuang was also anxious, but seeing the man being so calm, she knew the man must have some tactics.
True enough! The man immediately tilted, at the same time the shabby black door was kicked open, and a big hand instantly grabbed the whip and dragged the girl off the horse. All of a sudden, the girl in red groaned, fell onto the ground and got mud all over her body. What a scene!
“Miss, if you are here for medicine, please queue up. There is no need to stay in the mud. That would be too much and it is pitiful for your clothes, isn’t it?” A low male voice resounded beside the young man.
Hearing this, the beggars around began laughing at her. The girl was so angry that she struggled to stand up to whip again.
Yet again, she fell into the mud…
Glancing at the girl, An Rushuang turned to look at the man standing beside the good-looking young man, and her eyes were then fixed on him.
The man was very tall and instantly overshadowed the young man who looked slim. Standing at the man’s side, the young man could only reach the man’s shoulder.
Dressed in a plain blue gown, the man looked firm and strong. With an upright and honest face, the man precipitously looked fierce and was now staring at the poor muddy girl on the ground without any expression.
He really had no idea of caring for beauties. However, An Rushuang was staring at the man who showed up all of a sudden.
Seeing this, Hong Yu pulled An Rushuang and said shamefully, “Miss An, even if he is handsome, you should not stare at him like this…”
Zhao Xiaotao also agreed by nodding.
What the heck? An Rushuang was not staring at him because of his good look. Xiaotao did not know him, but how could Hong Yu say that? Gnashing, An Rushuang poked Hong Yu at her forehead and said angrily, “Look carefully. Who is he?”
Hong Yu looked at the man in confusion. But after a while, she couldn’t help screaming, “Oh my god. How could that be?” Rubbing her eyes, Hong Yu could not believe what she saw, “He is Mr. An?”
The man in blue gown was now telling the girl in red about etiquette and the rule of ‘first come, first served’. He didn’t pay any attention to the girl’s current feelings. The girl was so pissed off and looked like she could faint at any second.
He was exactly Mr. An. Only Mr. An could totally ignore girls as he had been in the army for a long time.
Stepping backwards, Hong Yu anxiously pulled An Rushuang and asked in a low voice, “Miss An, shall we go now?” If they were caught by Mr. An at such a place, they would definitely be reprimanded severely by him.
Thinking so, Hong Yu even neglect why Mr. An would be here.
Zhao Xiaotao rubbed her hair and curiously looked at the man, “Mr. An? Hong Yu, you know him?”
Coming closer to Xiaotao, Hong Yu quickly reveled the man’s identity to her. Xiaotao was so surprised and began murmuring, “He is the eldest son of the An Family…”
Xiaotao had heard of Mr. An previously. Young as he was, Mr. An was now Yue Qi lieutenant, one of the eight major lieutenants. For most of the time, he lived in the army and it had been a year since he last came back. He wasn’t at the An Family yesterday; why would he be here now?
Shaking her head, Zhao Xiaotao felt strange, “Is Mr. An strict and fierce? Why are we avoiding him?”
