Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 181

The two seemed to be getting along very well.

That day, she finished serving breakfast and was packing her food box.

Xiao Wu came in a hurry, took one look at her and whispered something in Yang Junhan’s ear.

She saw that his face became grave, and his fingers were trembling.

However, after a while, he returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Only, she saw him return to his bedroom and change his outfit again, yes, from foot to head, very refreshed and radiant. 

Who was he going to see? 

Zhao Lingxue sat by the lotus pond, throwing small stones into the lake with a hitch.

Spring was almost over, the lotus leaves in the lake were emerging from the tip, some had unfolded into small palm-sized lotus leaves, floating on the water surface, there were pearl-sized water droplets rippling on it.

She looked carefully at the bridge pier, there were melon seed-sized small fish swimming in groups, so small and cute. She was impulsive, wanting to use her hands to fish two up to see, but her feet slipped, the hand did not hold on to, she fell into the lake.

A burst of lake water entered her ears and nose. Her feet did not reach the bottom of the lake. She sent her maid to Jing Sixuan, to see if he had returned.

No one was around, was she going to die?

The more anxious she was, the farther her body got from the pier. After a while, gradually she had no strength. Her brain also turned blank.

When she thought she would be dead, her body instinctively floated. Her heart was a bit happy, she tried swimming and paddling like her brothers taught her. Magically, she swam back to the pier, just as the maid returned.

Rolling and crawling over, she finally pulled Zhao Lingxue to the shore.

The maids were afraid she would get sick, so they hurriedly boiled water for her to drive away the cold.

She soaked in a bucket of warm water and asked the maids, “Can a person who doesn’t know how to swim, swim when they fall in water?”

The maid laughed, “If that was the case, there wouldn’t be so many people drowning, you got lucky to have the blessing of the lake God. In the future, you must not be distracted at the lake.”

Zhao Lingxue obviously swam back, but she did not learn it before. How could she swim?

Although this incident was incredible, Zhao Lingxue did not put it to heart for a long time, only saw it as a great disaster.

The thing that really hurt her was that Yang Junhan did not return that night. Zhao Lingxue was afraid that he would be gone for many days. Also, she was so curious about who he was going to see, so grandly dressed. It must be a very important person.

Her intuition told her he went to see a woman!

Thankfully, he returned to Yu Garden the next evening.

Zhao Lingxue was busy carrying the food box to Jing Sixuan.

He had changed into clean and casual clothes, and from the look of his attire, he would not be going out of the house that night.

Zhao Lingxue bashfully opened the food box and said with a smile, “Come and eat, ginseng chicken soup, steamed osmanthus fish, mushroom and small green vegetables.”

She lined up the small dishes and soup, and put the rice in front of him.

He seemed to have gotten used to the soup first. So he picked up the bowl of soup and took two sips.

Seeing how fast he was eating the rice, he should be very hungry.

Zhao Lingxue was worried that the rice would not be enough, so she asked, “Have you not eaten anything all day? I’ll go get you some more, there’s more in the kitchen,” saying that she took the food box’s lid.

Yang Junhan waved his hand to stop her, “Enough, it’s not good to eat more at night. I just got a bit hungry after a day of traveling.”

Zhao Lingxue also did not force him. He had a point. Eating too much at night was indeed bad. But he did not eat anything the whole day, which made her heart ache.

“How come you didn’t eat food all day?! It’s good to bring some dry food with you before you travel.”

“Buns are sold in Clearwater village,” he said casually.

Zhao Lingxue muttered, “Where is Clearwater village?”

“A small village.”

“You have a business in a small village?” 

Why go to a small village dressed up like that?

Yang Junhan laughed, “I have a business in many small villages.”

Zhao Lingxue looked at him, extremely heartbroken, “If you go to such places again in the future, you have to tell me in advance, I will prepare some dry food for you to eat on the way. If you starve your body to make money it is not cost-effective.”

Zhao Lingxue, like a little wife, admonished Yang Junhan. For a time, his heart was stuffed full.

He put down the dishes and said to her, “I heard that you fell into the lake.”

Zhao Lingxue was a little surprised, “You just came back, how do you know?” 

So it seemed he still cared about her a bit.

“I heard it was you who swam up, not many women know how to swim.” 

Zhao Lingxue said, “I do not know how to swim, but the wonderful thing is that I swam back, do you think it is strange?”

Yang Junhan smiled, “Be careful in the future, you will not always be so lucky.”
