Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Sleepless Nights Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Sleepless Nights He was the mighty Ghost King of Moli Country, how could he possibly be ignorant and uninformed?
Big Bull looked down at Xuexue with a puzzled face. According to what he knew from Mo Family Village, she had lived there for more than a decade without ever leaving, and the furthest she had ever been was to County Town, and that too, with him.
Yet, she had mastered many things without a teacher, which left him full of doubts.
He, the mighty Ghost King of an entire country with numerous talented subordinates, knew of course that managing a shop did not require his personal involvement to receive news. However, how could Xuexue, a little girl with no experience, know such specifics?
“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?” Xuexue said as she reached to wipe her face.
“No, I just think my lady is too clever, truly a genius in business.” Big Bull said with implied meaning.
Her behavior since her rebirth was indeed unusual, like suddenly knowing how to do business and how to grow out-of-season garlic shoots, which were indeed suspicious.
Thinking this, Xuexue put down her chopsticks, her expression slightly somber and pained, and said, “Big Bull, you have seen the situation at home. If I don’t work hard to earn money, won’t mom and Chuner starve to death?”
“My lady, don’t worry, I’ll be here from now on, you won’t have to work so hard.”
Big Bull’s heart ached for her immediately.
Xuexue’s past life, he had heard many villagers talk about it—how she often suffered from Old Lady Mo’s harshness and couldn’t even get enough food, starving one day and barely filling her belly the next. It made sense why she was now working so hard to make money.
“The days of suffering and fatigue are behind us, every day now is a new beginning.”
Although Xuexue said these words to Big Bull, deep down, it seemed she was also speaking to herself.
Yet, unless she avenged her enemies, could she really put aside the grudges from her past life and live well? Of course, the answer was no. The pain of carving flesh and the hatred of killing her daughter were so deep that they haunted her sleeplessly every night; without avenging these, her vow to never live in peace stood firm.
Xuexue’s complexion was poor, and Big Bull thought she was immersed in the sadness of her past life, and feeling pity, he held her hand and said, “My lady, from now on, Big Bull is your support. No one in this world will dare to bully you, I swear to heaven.” With that, Big Bull raised two fingers, swearing solemnly.
“Big Bull, you are so good to me.” Xuexue said, moved.
In her past life, why hadn’t she met Big Bull! Heaven really enjoyed playing tricks on people.
“Silly girl, you are my lady. We are to spend our lifetime together. If I don’t treat you well, who will I treat well?”
“Who said I was going to marry you?”
“If you don’t marry me, then who will you marry?” Knowing Xuexue was shy, Big Bull’s lips curved into a smile, his eyes sparkling as he gazed at her.
“Annoying.”
With a forceful tug, Xuexue withdrew her hand and picked up a teacup to take a sip, concealing the palpitations in her heart.
Knowing she was shy, happiness flooded Big Bull’s heart like he had eaten candy.
After the two had eaten, they paid in silver and then left Xiaohe Restaurant.
“Big Bull, let’s go to Qinger Building, it’s been a long time since we visited.”
Although Nanny Sun often reported the situation there, Xuexue also wanted to see it with her own eyes, after all, it was her business.
“Sure, it’s still in town, not far from here.”
Qinger Building
Dressed as a man, Xuexue appeared at the entrance of Qinger Building with Big Bull.
The thugs at the door were still the same, seeing Big Bull they were very enthusiastic, “This young master, welcome, Nanny Sun is upstairs, you can go up and find her yourself.”
Dressed as a man, Xuexue had all her hair tied up, looking every bit the handsome young lad, undetected by them.
