Lin Yiwei nodded in response, “Qing ‘Er is my son, and we’re a family. Of course, we’ll help Qing ‘Er until he can stand up again!”
After leaving the village chief’s house, Lin Yuelan said to Jiang Zhennan very sincerely, “masked uncle, thank you for today!” She had not considered the fact that Little Green would glow. If Jiang Zhennan had not sent the emerald stone over, she didn’t know how she’d explain herself.
Jiang Zhennan said, “Miss Yue ‘Er, you’re too kind!”
Lin Yuelan asked curiously, “masked uncle, why did you suddenly appear at Grandpa Village Chief’s place? Haven’t you gone to work already?”
Jiang Zhennan said, “it’s a little strange and coincidental. When I went to work in the fields with the others, I suddenly had an inexplicable feeling. I felt that you might be in trouble, so I went to the village chief’s house to see how the treatment was going.
“When I arrived and was about to knock on the door, I heard Lin Mingliang’s wife shouting about the green light in the house. She even suspected that there was a demon or something. In order to sound their suspicions, I thought of the few pieces of emerald stone we had in our basement, so I picked one and carried it over.” Jiang Zhennan was sure that no one could eavesdrop on them, so he came clean.
When Jiang Zhennan mentioned that Lin Mingliang’s wife suspected Lin Yuelan of being a demon, a slightly dissatisfied expression appeared on his face. He said with some worry, “Miss Yue ‘Er, do you think she will tell others about what happened today?”
Lin Yuelan sighed, “The village chief’s family are all smart and honest people. If she really has such an ungrateful mind, I’m sure the chief’s family won’t let her off. After all, other than their family, the only people who have seen a green light suddenly appear in Lin Mingqing’s room are you and me. You and I definitely won’t tell anyone. So, if there’s any mention of this, we’ll be sure it’s they who leaked it.”
Lin Yuelan said that she was not a saint. If the village chief’s family did wrong her, she would choose to forgive them once. After all, without them, her host wouldn’t have lived. Therefore, as long as they didn’t threaten Little Green, she would forgive them once, and only once.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuelan sighed and thought to herself, ‘I hope that such a thing won’t happen!’
Jiang Zhennan looked at the serious expression on Lin Yuelan’s face, and he felt that it was exceptionally cute.
Jiang Zhennan said very seriously, “Miss Yue ‘Er, I will never let anyone hurt you!” If someone in the village chief’s family betrayed Lin Yuelan, and she couldn’t do anything because of her debt to them, he would stand up for her. He would never let anyone hurt her again. Of course, Jiang Zhennan prayed for the same thing as Lin Yuelan. He hoped that there’d be no traitor among the village chief’s family.
This was the second time Jiang Zhennan had told Lin Yuelan that he would protect her and would never let anything hurt her.
Lin Yuelan looked up at Jiang Zhennan’s cold and handsome face with a serious expression that she had never had before. Her black eyes were like shining stones as she carefully studied Jiang Zhennan. She reached out her little hand and touched the faint scar on his face. Her clear and ethereal voice echoed in the space.
“Why?” she asked.
Why was he so good to her? Why would he swear to protect her and not let anyone hurt her? Was it only because she had saved him?
But the answer was obviously not.
With her abilities, she didn’t need anyone’s protection. She would know if anyone wanted to hurt her. When she faced another in battle, her nine special powers would ensure that she would always win.
