HCB Chapter 256 Storm 1
Chapter 256 Storm 1
Qingzhou Jiangfu.
When Lin Yizhi woke up, the room was quiet and dark. His heart trembled and he immediately sat up and looked into the room, but he did not see her.
He quickly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and ran to the closed door. When he opened the door, the afterglow of the sun instantly shone in, making him close his eyes and relax for a while.
"I also know that you are awake?"
When he heard the familiar voice, his heart finally settled down. He opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the voice, but his brows furrowed in alertness.
He saw two people dressed as servants standing next to her at the bottom of the stairs, one female and one male. He recognized the male at a glance.
He immediately walked down the steps and came to her side, looking at Lin Jiaojiao and asking who they were and what they were doing here.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect that Qi Yao would send his subordinates to serve as her slaves.
Earlier, she was sleeping on the table in the room. She had nothing to do so she could only sleep to kill time. She was not sleeping well to begin with, and she woke up when she heard a knock on the door.
He first glanced at Lin Yizhi who was still sleeping and had not been woken up, then he opened the door quietly. Before he could ask what was the matter, he saw the figure behind the manager.
"Lan Jiu!"
She shouted in surprise, but then realized that her voice was too loud. She quickly turned her head and looked into the room. Seeing that there was no movement in the bed, she carefully went out and closed the door.
When the steward saw the people coming out, he said respectfully, "Miss, the master asked me to bring these two people to you. They said they are your personal servants and guards. The master asked if you would like to keep them."
After listening to the manager's words, she understood why Lan Jiu appeared, but she didn't know whether to keep them or not.
"Well, let me chat with them for a few minutes first?"
The manager immediately stepped aside sensibly, while Lin Jiaojiao excitedly walked up to Lan Jiu and smiled.
"Lan Jiu, you're back?"
Lan Jiu looked at her happy smile and greeting, and nodded in response with a smile: "Well, I'm back."
After she said hello, she looked at the woman next to her who had a very low presence. She looked like an ordinary person, the kind that you would forget about after just one glance.
The woman bowed to her and said, "My name is Lan Yi, and I am now your personal bodyguard, protecting your safety."
She scratched her head awkwardly: "Um, Qi...is he at home?"
Lan Jiu shook her head gently, and she understood and continued to ask.
"Did he have any message for me?"
"No, the master just asked me and Lan to swear to protect the young lady until death."
"Ah? It's not that serious... I don't think there's any danger around me. But he definitely needs help now. He needs you more than I do."
Lan Jiu's eyes flashed with sadness, and he lowered his eyes and said calmly: "If the young lady does not keep us, we will have no choice but to die to apologize."
Lan Yi quickly took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed his neck without hesitation.
Lin Jiaojiao was so scared that she quickly shouted, "No, no, no, please stay, stay."
When Lan heard her scream, he spun the dagger in his hand and put it back into his sleeve, then stood quietly and expressionlessly beside her, acting like an invisible man.
The manager who had been watching them not far away was also startled by Lan Yi's clean and neat movement. Fortunately, it was just a feint. She raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
"Miss, since you want to stay, I will go and report to you first."
Lin Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at her and replied, "Okay, go ahead."
Lin Jiaojiao watched the manager leave, then resigned herself to looking at the two people in front of her, and suddenly she felt a headache.
She thought of Lin Yizhi, whom she had finally coaxed into calming down, and now there were two more people sent by Qi Yao. She was afraid that he would get angry again when he woke up and saw the situation.
As expected, Cao Cao was in trouble. Just as she was thinking about it, the door behind her opened. Until now, Lin Yizhi had a sullen face and stuck close to her, looking at Lan Jiu vigilantly as if declaring his sovereignty.
Lan Jiu looked at him calmly. He knew who he was. Before they came, they had already figured out all the relationships around Lin Jiaojiao.
Lin Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly and introduced each other: "Yizhi, this is Lan Yi and Lan Jiu. Yes, he sent people to protect us. This is my husband, Lin Yizhi."
The two of them bowed respectfully towards Lin Yizhi: "Hello, my dear. I am Lan Jiu."
"My name is Lan Yi."
Lin Yizhi didn't expect that Qi Yao would linger around and send people to seek presence in front of his wife. Not bothering her was the greatest protection for his wife.
He was very angry in his heart, but on the surface he still nodded slightly to the two of them. After all, he couldn't make things difficult for his wife.
Lin Jiaojiao was relieved to see that he did not get angry. She first asked the servants waiting in the yard to arrange accommodation for the two of them, and then pulled Lin Yizhi into the house.
"Why did you come out without combing your hair?"
"Humph, it's all because of you."
"Blame me, blame me..."
Lan Jiu followed behind the servant, listening to how Lin Jiaojiao gently coaxed her husband. He lowered his eyes to hide the envy in his eyes.
So this was what she looked like after she regained her memory. The contrast between her and before she got her brain injured was too great. She didn't look like the lively and lovely girl he knew.
But when she saw him for the first time and called out his name in surprise, he felt that she was still herself.
Since entering the room, Lin Yizhi ignored her, and she knew it was time to settle the score.
She wanted to help him comb his hair to show her courtesy, but she couldn't do it, so she had to stand by and watch him comb his hair.
"Yizhi, are you hungry after sleeping for so long? Do you want to eat something to fill your stomach?"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of chestnut cake from the space and handed it to his mouth. He did not refuse and took a light bite, then spoke slowly.
"Does my wife want to take those two back as well?"
"Uh, yeah."
He paused for a long time with his hand holding the comb, and all the anger and resentment in his heart turned into a sigh.
He realized that it was not worth getting angry at these people and getting mad at his wife. Now that his wife was back safely, nothing else mattered.
"Got it. My wife should think about how to explain to my brother and the others when we get home in three days."
After saying that, he took a big bite of the chestnut crisp in her hand, venting all his dissatisfaction on it.
After hearing his reminder, Lin Jiaojiao felt overwhelmed again. She told him the truth about what happened as she was afraid of scaring the two pregnant men.
"Why don't you wait until I recover my memory and go back?"
He put down the comb in his hand and turned to look at her: "Are you sure? My elder brother wrote to me yesterday, which means he is suspicious. If I don't go back, I'm afraid he will come to Qingzhou in person soon."
Then he lowered his head and rolled the remaining chestnut crisps in her hand into his mouth. However, Lin Jiaojiao suddenly retracted her hand. The heat from her fingers made her cheeks flush. She stared at the innocent person with a coquettish look.
Damn it.
She was actually teased.
