Chapter 928: Chapter 928 What Kind of Man_1 Chapter 928: Chapter 928 What Kind of Man_1 For Tong Tiehu, it felt like he had walked a hundred miles today, and he went straight to his room to rest as soon as he got back.

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong’s third son had fought a day’s battle as well, physically and mentally exhausted.

However, having not bathed for several days, Tong’s third son still went to heat up water in the kitchen for a bath. By the time they finished, it was already past midnight.

Qiao Xiaomai sprawled on the bed, listening to Tong’s third son recounting the day’s conversation between Yang Wenxiao and the two of them. She couldn’t help but sigh deeply, “Not of blood relation, yet causing harm.”

“But I am also to blame; I was too impulsive. If I hadn’t touched the treasure, none of this would have happened.”

Tong’s third son was sitting by the bed, taking off his shoes. He lifted his hand and with a wave-snuffed out the candle flame before lying down next to Qiao Xiaomai, “None of this is your fault.”

It was also because Qiao Xiaomai was worried about him that she stealthily took the treasure.

The road ahead was shrouded in darkness, and nobody knew what would happen. The decision Xiaomai made in that moment would be one he’d be grateful for all his life.

Qiao Xiaomai sighed again and then asked, “So, what do you think, does the retired emperor still have doubts about us?”

“Yes, as long as the treasure remains hidden from the world, his suspicions will not be allayed. But we are in his hands…,” Thinking back to the look in Yang Wenxiao’s eyes while in the secret tunnel sent a chill down Tong’s third son’s spine.

At this moment, he shared Tong Tiehu’s sentiments – Liuli truly was a stepmother, at the very least, she should have left them something to defend themselves with. Now, if Yang Wenxiao turned against them, he would be finished.

“All we can do is try to make our value known. As long as we are valuable enough, the Yang Family won’t make a move against us,” he added.

“With your skills, once the Crown Prince takes the throne, he won’t do anything to you.”

He had only heard of Yang Hao’s deep affection for Yang Ye, but now that he had seen Yang Hao in person, he realized that he was even more caring than the rumors suggested.

Qiao Xiaomai had firmly captured Yang Ye’s palate, and once Yang Hao ascended to the throne, she would definitely receive excellent treatment.

Powerlessly slumped on the bed, Qiao Xiaomai heard this and uttered a sound of disbelief, “He won’t do anything to me? Tsk, I smell a hint of sourness.”

Upon hearing this, Tong’s third son turned over, half of his body pressing down on her. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, and his voice sounded somewhat muffled, “What would you feel inside if I praised another girl to the skies at the banquet?”

“I’d scratch that little vixen’s face to shreds!” Qiao Xiaomai declared, grinding her teeth.

“But I can’t scratch the face of Prince Wei,” Tong’s third son said, his voice even more stifled.

In the end, it meant he was useless.

Qiao Xiaomai was also trying to establish a good relationship with Yang Hao. It was demoralizing that not only could he not exert any strength, he also felt annoyed—what kind of man was he?

“Yang Ye is not as good-looking as you,” Qiao Xiaomai understood the little thoughts in his heart and patted him with her free hand, speaking the truth, “It’s not your fault.”

The family he was born into was not something Tong’s third son could choose.

Gu Yu and Liuli, as a couple, dug a hole that trapped many people.

“As long as you are safe, I will have peace of mind,” Tong’s third son turned over to mimic Qiao Xiaomai, collapsing onto the heated brick bed.

Qiao Xiaomai smiled and said, “If the day comes, just go. I will come looking for you later.”

Martyrdom and such, too tragic, one should strive for any chance at life if possible.

With Tong’s third son’s lightfooted skills, the Yang Family wouldn’t be able to stop him.

As long as he was alive, all would be well.

“Grandfather would also want you to go,” she added.

Hearing this, Tong’s third son heaved a deep sigh.

[What kind of man—this song is quite nice to listen to]
