Chapter 335 - 335 I’m Watching Over Her

Translator: 549690339 |

After the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was done, Yang Ye arranged for someone to send Qiao Xiaoinai home, and he went to find Yang Wang.

As two princes, both of them lived in the Academy, very close to each other.

“Third Brother, this thousand tael silver note is from Miss Qiao for you. She accepted the cloth and gifts you sent to her house,” Yang Ye said cheerfully as he took out ten silver notes from his chest and placed them on the table.

Yang Wang turned black in the face.

What’s the meaning of this?

What’s the meaning of this?!

The things he brought only cost less than three hundred taels, what does it mean for Qiao Xiaomai to give him a thousand taels?!

“However, Miss Qiao only accepted the things you sent before, but she couldn’t accept the ones from the convoy,” said Yang Ye again.

Yang Wang let out a heavy snort and said, “Take this silver note away.”

“That wouldn’t do, Miss Qiao is always straightforward, she has no kinship or friendship with you, so she couldn’t accept your things for free,” Yang Ye smiled as he opened his fan and narrated the story with some reservations while leisurely fanning himself.

According to what was said before, he should have given Qiao Xiaomai five thousand taels of silver.

But Qiao Xiaomai asked him to help fend off Yang Wang, she didn’t claim this five thousand tael reward for her labour.

The perpetrator of the Shao Mai crime was found, he needed to pay Qiao Xiaomai five hundred taels.

However, Qiao Xiaomai asked him to give these thousand taels to Yang Wang, so these five hundred taels were offset. In the end, it was Qiao Xiaomai who gave him five hundred taels.

Look, this is how Qiao Xiaomai handles things, certain and clear, whatever is agreed on is finalised.

However, Yang Wang’s trouble was his own making, and he should have solved it himself. As things turned out, Qiao Xiaomai won him a Hot Spring Villa, and he also got to taste the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish.

Oh, this Qiao Xiaomai is really…

Oh well, oh well, he did a good job blocking Yang Wang and safeguarding her life, dutifully assuming his role as a friend.

Hearing Yang Ye’s account, Yang Wang’s face darkened even more.

With Qiao Xiaomai so rich and generous, and having such a good relationship with Yang Ye, his actions today seemed even more idiotic!

“Do you have designs on Qiao Xiaomai?” he asked with a gloomy face. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No, no, no.” Yang Ye immediately shook his head, “Qiao Xiaomai is too fierce and spicy for me, I can’t handle it, I prefer softer women.”

If you agree with the philosophy of Qiao Xiaomai, it’s pleasant.

If you don’t, she definitely won’t appease him.

As for him wooing women, to be honest, he just doesn’t have the patience.

He knows his own temperament. Hence, while Qiao Xiaomai’s skills are good, he never thought to take her as a wife.

Just like now, treating her as a friend, equal in regard, but she treats him with deference and respect, maintaining a respectful distance. This is indeed good.

If they were actually husband and wife, entangling feelings between the sexes, things would become complicated like it is with Bai Zhi, always pushing boundaries and perpetually unsatisfied. It’s exhausting.

It’s better now, whenever there’s a fresh delicacy, she would prepare it.

He stands by occasionally stoking the fire like earlier, feeling quite at ease.

“However, even if I don’t intend to marry her, I do appreciate her, greatly. So third brother, if you have intentions towards her, please win her heart gradually, don’t rely on your status it’s uncouth.”

“I’ll be watching from the sidelines.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Wang gave another snort, “Watching?”

“Guarding, of course. As I said, I appreciate her, I don’t want her to be in trouble,” Yang Ye explained with a face that suggested it was only natural.

“She’s just a tough bone to crack, not as easy as you think, doesn’t really matter if she’s around or not. Third Brother, you don’t need to put too much effort for her, she’s not worth it.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Wang laughed, though his smile remained gloomy, “Casually won a Hot Spring Villa from me, and you call that ‘not worth it’?”
