3044 It Will Never Happen Again

The young girl chuckled ironically, her expression remaining unchanged.

In Ling’s eyes, almost anyone could be deemed a good person. To her, even someone like Second Young Sir Qin, a self-proclaimed pervert, was considered good. Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao couldn’t comprehend this perspective.

Little did the young girl know that her signature expressionless ironic chuckle had a way of transforming into a momentary display of cuteness…

“You must swear not to harm even a single blade of grass or tree here,” Qiao Mu stated coldly.

Qin Xin gazed down at her and nodded without uttering another word.

Once Young Sir Qin finished drafting the covenant, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao stowed it away, regarding him with an impassive expression.

“Qiaoqiao is still kindhearted.” Second Young Sir reached out, patting her petite head.

Qiao Mu snorted and tilted her head to evade his touch. “Don’t be casual!”

Ling nearly burst into laughter, observing their banter. She looked at Qiao Mu teasingly. “With your small stature, you won’t provoke any thoughts carelessly.”

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao turned her head and tightly pursed her lips.

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao couldn’t be bothered to engage with her!

Reflecting on it, while this village was small, it still housed over a hundred families. If all of them were to be buried in Qin Xin’s hands, it would be a grave injustice. Why did she have to bear the burden of being the assumed culprit?

People were often extremely ignorant. In due course, they would undoubtedly label her as a femme fatale. Once this label stuck, it would proliferate exponentially. The young girl wondered how far these rumors would spread.

At that point, she might be the target of unfounded accusations, and in the capital, there might be no one left to quell the rumors of her alleged arrogance.

While she didn’t place a significant value on her reputation, who would willingly endure criticism and silent condemnation wherever they went?

It was preferable to swiftly dispel any looming concerns.

“Qiaoqiao.” Second Young Sir extended his hand and delicately tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “You probably think it’s not difficult to trick me into drafting the covenant before attempting an escape, right?”

Qiao Mu gazed ahead impassively, seemingly indifferent to the discussion.

“You don’t stand a chance.”

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao seethed!

Humph, she did indeed harbor such thoughts, but she had anticipated others seeing through her intentions.

Yet, if you can see through it, why say it out loud?

Voicing this sentiment aloud would surely infuriate Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao. Are you intelligent only when it comes to causing trouble?

“Can you refrain from threatening me with people I don’t even know?”

“Alright, I won’t do it again.” Second Young Sir Qin’s tone turned unexpectedly warm, causing Qiao Mu to question if she was hallucinating.

‘What?’

He agreed? Did he actually agree?

Wasn’t he supposed to say, “Stop daydreaming. If you dare to flee again, I’ll select a random city and leverage the lives of its inhabitants to coerce you”?

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao chuckled ironically.

“Of course, I won’t deceive you,” Qin Xin murmured softly. “As long as you don’t glare at me like an exploded porcupine and converse with me amiably about everything, I’ll permit you to do anything in the future, alright?”

Hmph, don’t assume I’m unaware that you’re attempting to placate me like a pet!

I don’t believe you!

Qiao Mu’s black eyes darted around. “My Lian is about to catch up.”

“Hmph.” Second Young Sir Qin broke loose with a cold laugh. “Not that fast.”

“When my Lian comes, you’re dead,” Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao said apatheticly. “Don’t blame me for not reminding you! When I find help…”

Second Young Sir Qin suddenly moved closer to her, and that jade-like handsome face gradually enlarged in front of her.
