Chapter 1091: Tell that Great General (2/2)

Jin Zi probably never expected that she had no hopes of Qi gege marrying her. It would be enough if he had a space for her in his heart. But Qi gege still hadn’t said a word even though she said she’d marry someone else. After getting kidnapped, experiencing dangers, and then being rescued, she should be relaxing now, but it was impossible. Stuck between Jin Zi and Han Yunxi’s group, she only felt very tired, but had no way to say the truth. She suddenly missed their days in Tiger’s Prison. Although they were prisoners, she could talk with Big Sis Jing at night and wait for their rescue together.

Manager Jin was sitting with his arms crossed in a corner, seemingly asleep but actually very alert. He slowly opened his eyes to stare at Mu Linger for awhile, but she never noticed him. Back at Three-Way Black Market, countless woman delivered themselves to him, some very clever and bright. He had no idea why he’d gotten interested in this one instead, especially when he hated stupid women. Manager Jin started to speak, but ended up exhaling and shutting his eyes.

At this moment, Gu Qishao suddenly came over and lifted the curtains. Loudly he said, “Lass, come here for a sec!”

Mu Linger immediately regained her spirits and said instantly, “Okay!”

It wasn’t until she got off the carriage that Manager Jin opened his eyes. But soon enough, he closed them again and sat there unmoving. Once Mu Linger got off the carriage, she followed Gu Qishao into his. Ning Cheng was still unconscious while Gu Beiyue was dozing off to the side, alert in case the man woke up. Seeing Mu Linger enter, he only glanced at her briefly before shutting his eyes again.

Mu Linger sat across from Gu Qishao, her favorite enchanting face, and finally felt her heart stop aching.

“Speak, how did that surnamed Jin trick you?” Gu Qishao got to the point.

Mu Linger thought for a while before deciding to sound him out. “He didn’t trick me, I was willing! I like him, I like him a lot!”

Gu Qishao arched a brow at her and fell silent. Mu Linger waited, looking calm but nervous inside. Even her heartrate had sped up. Finally, Gu Qishao said, “When did you start liking him? What do you like about him?”

“It was all Uncle Cheng up to dirty tricks after we got kidnapped. Jin Zi took good care of me and Ning Jing the entire way and agreed to all our requests. We got whatever we wanted and he even gave me hot meals for multiple days. At Tiger’s Prison, he found out about my fake pregnancy, but didn’t expose me…”

Gu Qishao shouted at her to stop right there and started rubbing his chin, confused. “Lass, what does Jin Zi see in you?”

“I don’t know either. Anyways, he likes me too, a lot!” Mu Linger declared.

Gu Qishao gave a snort. “Little lass, do you like anyone who treats you slightly well? How is he supposed to fight against your big sister if he doesn’t lure you first? How else could he get his indenture agreement?”

Gu Qishao leaned over and pinched her nose with a doting grin. “Foolish lass, why didn’t Qi gege realize you were so stupid before?”

Mu Linger really wanted to smile at him just like the past, but this time she didn’t. Growing earnest, she declared, “Qi gege, Linger is serious about this. Linger really wante to marry him. Jin Zi isn’t using me, he could’ve escaped long ago. Could a single indenture agreement be more important than his life? He knew he might lose his life if he came to find you guys, but he still brought me here.”

She steeled her heart and released the final blow. “Qi gege, help me convince my big sister!”

Gu Qishao withdrew and said with amusement, “Little lass, so...you really don’t want Qi gege anymore?”

Mu Linger’s heart felt like it was going to burst out of her chest. Unfortunately…

1. Aka her period.
