Chapter 219: You never have to thank me!
He responded with a series of swallowing sounds.
Ruan Qingqing swallowed the last mouthful and showed the bottom of the bowl to the stunned Chase.
"I don't have time to eat slowly when I'm busy. I usually finish a meal in 15 minutes."
She put down the bowl, sat up straight, and smiled, "Master Chase, nice to meet you!"
Chase's face changed when he heard this. He put down the bowl in his hand, folded his arms, leaned back suddenly, and glanced at Ruan Qingqing nonchalantly, "Miss Ruan has investigated me!"
"I just happened to know a little information." Ruan Qingqing kept smiling.
"Tell me! What do you want from me? Let me make it clear first, don't involve Mr. and Mrs. Li." He raised his chin slightly in the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Li.
Ruan Qingqing glanced at the busy old man Li and his wife with a smile, "Are you sure we want to talk here?"
Chase looked at her deeply, and seeing that she was calm and composed without any stage fright, he nodded, "Okay, wait a moment."
Ruan Qingqing knew that he was going to say hello to Old Man Li, and her lips curled up slightly.
It seems that what Wushang said about treating Old Man Li and his wife very well is absolutely correct!
That's good! At least it's not a cold killing weapon, which means he still has some worldly spirit.
She put down twice the copper coins on the table, "Grandpa Li, Grandma Li, thank you for your hospitality, goodbye!"
"If you like it, come back next time!" Old Mrs. Li turned around and replied.
"must!"
Before Old Lady Li approached the table, Ruan Qingqing left first.
Chase's figure flashed in front, and Ruan Qingqing followed closely behind.
Chase stopped in a quiet alley and turned to look at her.
"Say it!"
"I heard that you were sent by the emperor to protect my safety?" Ruan Qingqing asked directly.
"Not bad!"
"Will you protect me in any situation?" Ruan Qingqing asked again.
Chase hesitated for a moment, "Yes!"
"Then how can I ask you for help if I'm in danger?"
"I should be nearby when you're in danger." Chase didn't think it was a problem.
Ruan Qingqing shook her head. "I need a guarantee. What if you are delayed by something and are not nearby?"
"There's no such possibility!" Chase turned around, put his hands behind his back, and faced Ruan Qingqing, saying in a cold voice.
"Since you were sent by the Emperor to protect me, why can't I even ask you for a guarantee?"
"What kind of protection do you want?" Chase turned around and frowned at her.
"Something that can notify you when I'm in danger." Ruan Qingqing said concisely.
She believed that he could get it out. Since he was hiding in the market, he must have a way to contact his subordinates.
Chase looked at her steadily, "What are you afraid of?"
"There are many things I'm afraid of, like I was talking to you one moment, and the next moment I was kidnapped by the people of Moliang and taken to Moliang."
"There are no people from Moliang in Qingshui County." Chase said coldly.
"But I'm not sure there are no spies from Moliang or other countries. After all, my life is quite valuable!"
He stared at her for a long time, and finally reluctantly took out a flare from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"If the situation really becomes critical, light this flare! We will arrive as soon as possible."
"Thank you! I knew that Master Cai would not stand by and watch someone die!"
After complimenting him, Ruan Qingqing waved at him and left in a good mood.
Before I could even finish a sip of water when I got home, Ruan Pingping gave me a big hug.
"Sister Qingqing, thank you for helping me!"
"How is it? Are your future husband's family satisfied?" Ruan Qingqing asked after breaking free from the bear hug.
“Satisfied, I couldn’t be more satisfied!”
When talking about her future husband's family, Ruan Pingping couldn't help but blush.
"How do you mean satisfied?" Ruan Qingqing raised her eyebrows at her mischievously.
"That's right. He has a good appearance and a gentle personality. There is nothing messy at home and his elders are kind. More importantly, he is very motivated and not a bookworm. No matter what the third brother talks to him about, he can always keep up the conversation."
Ruan Pingping lowered her head and counted on her fingers.
"It seems that you are really satisfied. What do my uncle and the others say? When will your wedding be held?" Ruan Qingqing asked.
"At the end of this month, the man plans to go to the capital to participate in the Spring Examination after the wedding." Ruan Pingping twisted the handkerchief in her hand.
"In such a hurry? Why not wait until the man's imperial examination is over before getting married?" Ruan Qingqing was a little surprised.
"He has only two parents in his family, and they want him to get married soon so he can go and take the exam without any worries."
"That makes sense."
"Sister Qingqing, Uncle Wu will be here soon, so I won't delay your business." After saying that, she ran away like a gust of wind.
Ruan Qingqing looked at it and shook her head and laughed.
After arranging almost all the affairs at home, Ruonan came to her with the news sent by Fu Yuanhao.
"Girl, there is news from my master."
Ruan Qingqing took the note and read it quickly.
"My father was indeed kidnapped by the Moliang people."
She put the small note away and walked towards the desk, saying, "Ruonan, please take my message back to Master Fu in person later. You don't have to come back after that. I'm sure you know that I asked for the signal flares from the secret guards sent by the emperor. If anything happens, you can notify them in time. You should have a better future. It's a waste of your talent to stay with me."
"Girl, I..." Ruonan hesitated.
"Listen to me, Lord Fu, I will explain it and won't make things difficult for you!" After Ruan Qingqing explained all this, she sat down and started writing.
After a while, she handed the wax-sealed envelope to Ruonan, "Go! Be careful on the road!"
"Take care girl!"
"it is good!"
Until Ruonan's figure disappeared, Wushang appeared again.
"You drove them away on purpose!" His tone was more certain than ever before.
Ruan Qingqing admitted openly, "If they don't leave, my plan won't work."
"Are you leaving Qingshui County?" Wushang asked in shock.
"I said, I want to rescue my father! At the same time, I want those people from Moliang who held my father hostage to pay the corresponding price!"
Ruan Qingqing stood under the eaves, and her voice was even more solemn and murderous than the night wind in early winter!
"Have you thought it through?" Xu Jiu Wushang confirmed in a hoarse voice.
"Think about it!"
"Then take me with you when you leave." Wushang stared at her seriously.
Ruan Qingqing turned around and glanced at him, then chuckled and asked, "You don't object anymore?"
"I support all the decisions you make when you are calm!"
Under the moonlight, Wushang's expression was extremely solemn.
Ruan Qingqing couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, "Wu Shang, thank you!"
Wushang turned his head uncomfortably and looked elsewhere.
His voice slowly spread in the night wind: "With me, you never have to thank me!"
