Chapter 777 - 778: Traveling Together
Song Xiaodong said, "You have also saved my life, so how could I break a promise I made? Let’s go inside and talk."
Sun Yiyi replied, "No need, it’s quite nice here, and going inside might make it awkward with your women around."
Song Xiaodong didn’t insist, and sat down with Sun Yiyi at a small table near the door.
"So what do you need me to do?" Song Xiaodong asked directly.
Sun Yiyi said, "I need you to come with me to Longding Mountain."
"Longding Mountain?" Song Xiaodong hadn’t heard of the place before.
"Yes, Longding Mountain. It’s located in the primitive jungle in Xishuangbanna. It’s dangerous to go alone, so I’d like your protection," she explained.
"Just to protect you, that’s why you want me to go?" Song Xiaodong felt the reason was a bit far-fetched, especially since the Sun family had many capable people, and Granny Sun was particularly formidable.
Sun Yiyi nodded and said, "Even though my grandmother can protect me, she has been away recently, and I don’t really want to go with her anyway. She always scolds me. It’s no fun. Going with you, I can at least have someone to chat with and keep me entertained."
Song Xiaodong looked at Sun Yiyi and said, "I suspect it’s not that simple, right?"
Sun Yiyi’s veil lifted slightly, probably because she pouted before replying, "Don’t be such a spoilsport. Either you go or you don’t. Are you really afraid that I’ll sell you?"
Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly and said, "That’s unlikely. If it were a beauty like you, there would definitely be buyers, but for a thick-skinned man like me, who would want to buy?"
