Chapter 44: You Are Not In A Hurry, But I Am
Xiao Shao looked at Xu Xiang closely and asked, "Didn’t Miss Xu say that a favor of a drip of water should be reciprocated with a gushing spring?"
She smiled at him and said, "Yes. But, it is Aunt Wen and Er Lang who I want to repay the favor to. Everything I do for the Xiao family is because of them saving my life. But for others, it’s a different matter."
Seeing her smiling like a fox, Xiao Shao suddenly realized that he had fallen into the pit he dug for himself. He really felt that his previous thoughts were too simple. Xu Xiang looked at his frowning face and chuckled lightly.
She opened her lips and teasingly said, "Young Master Xiao, you don’t have to worry too much. You can return the favors to me at any time. I’m not in a hurry."
He looked at her and thought: ’You are not in a hurry, but I am.’
Xiao Shao sighed deeply and gestured to Xiao Han. With a flick of the rein, the mule started walking. He glanced at Xu Xiang who was leisurely chewing dried squid, and let out another long sigh.
He looked at the sky and thought: ’Looks like I’m going to have to work hard to pay off my debts.’
Hearing the sound of wheels turning, Third Madam Fan turned her head and looked at the mule cart and sleigh that slowly disappeared from her sight. She clenched her hands tightly, while tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes as she watched the carts drive away.
’Er Lang, Xue’er, Mother is useless. Mother only wishes that the two of you can survive and lead a good life.’
