Chapter 63 - Method

Lin Yunxu was dressed in a black robe. He stood diagonally opposite Huai Jing Inn, and when he saw the two people entering, his eyes darkened. “You. Think of a way to lure Fang Tianliu over.”

“Didn’t that id*ot say that he was humiliated by a man and a woman in Wangshan Town? If the man who sold the new dishes to Manager Zhou is the same as the one Fang Tianliu mentioned, then let them fight each other first. We’ll wait until it’s almost time to make a move.”

“Yes, sir! I’ll go now!”

“Manager Zhou.” Manager Zhou immediately went up to welcome Zhao Zhan when he heard his name. “Can we go up and talk in detail?”

“Please wait a moment.”

Zhao Zhan’s voice was very soft. If the manager had not been so close, he would not have heard what he was saying.

When he saw the girl lying on his back, Manager Zhou tactfully made way for Zhao Zhan to return to his room first.

Why was this girl sleeping the last two times he saw her?

Why was her body so weak?

Yue Jiaojiao didn’t know that someone had already labeled her as physically weak. She woke up just as Zhao Zhan walked over to the bed.

“I don’t want to lie on the bed. My clothes are dirty,” Yue Jiaojiao opened her eyes and closed them again because she felt tired. She wrapped her arms around Zhao Zhan’s neck and murmured softly, “I won’t have a place to sleep if I’m dirty.”

“Then you can lie on my back and sleep for a while. I’ll prepare a bath for you when you wake up. You can lie down after you’ve washed up and changed your clothes.”

Zhao Zhan carefully removed the bags hanging around his neck and placed them on the table. Then, he held the other party firmly with both hands and stood in the same place.

“I’m not sleepy anymore. If I sleep any longer, I won’t be able to fall asleep tonight,” Yue Jiaojiao’s voice carried a hint of coquettishness that was still half-awake. As she spoke, her cherry lips accidentally brushed against Zhao Zhan’s neck, causing a numbing sensation.

Zhao Zhan’s arms trembled from the provocation, and his ears turned red.

After being jolted like this, Yue Jiaojiao’s sleepiness dissipated instantaneously, but she still felt a little lazy.

So, she lay on Zhao Zhan’s neck and laughed softly. Then, she rubbed her head against him and mumbled, “Why is your heart racing?”

“I’m extremely awake right now.”

The way he replied was soft and sweet.

Zhao Zhan was about to melt from her question. After a long while, he said hoarsely, “You should rest, you’ve worked hard today.”

Yue Jiaojiao giggled. Hearing her like this, Zhao Zhan wished he could pluck the moon from the sky and give it to her.

“Put me on the soft couch at the side and let me lie down for a while.”

Zhao Zhan touched the soft couch and felt that it was a little hard, so he laid the blanket he brought with him in the carriage today on it. Then, he took a soft pillow and placed it properly before gently placing Yue Jiaojiao on it like a fragile rare treasure.

“Isn’t Manager Zhou looking for you? You should hurry up and go.” Yue Jiaojiao found a comfortable position on the bed and whispered, “I want to eat flatbread, but I’m a little tired. Zhao Zhan, can you go outside and buy it for me after you’re done talking to the manager?”

Zhao Zhan would give his life to her if she asked.

“I’ll get it for you later. You can lie down and rest here for a while.” Zhao Zhan’s fingertips touched his lover’s smooth and tender face longingly. Then, he carefully held her fingertips caringly, as if he was holding onto something fragile. “I’ll be back soon. Wait for me here. Be careful and don’t go walking around alone.”

He was still thinking about Kelai Xiang, so he couldn’t help but remind her again.

Yue Jiaojiao acknowledged his worries and only then did Zhao Zhan reluctantly close the door.

“Manager Zhou, could I trouble you to send someone to keep an eye on my room? I’m not too at ease leaving her alone.”
