Jiujiu walked back halfway and grabbed Qi Ye's collar. She pointed at the water jar and said, "Don't go upstairs before you take a bath. Otherwise, I'll chop off your legs."
Jiujiu's reprimand turned into deep concern in Qi Ye's ears.
Qi Ye smiled foolishly and said, "Shopkeeper, you're such a good person."
Although she wanted to chase him out earlier, not only did she let him stay, she even cooked for him and was willing to let him take a bath without asking for anything in return. It was too good.
Jiujiu, who was inexplicably labeled as a good person, twitched her mouth. She rolled her eyes and went upstairs to rest.
She had just settled the delicate Qi Ye down when she met Bai Tianye, who had ulterior motives.
Looking at Bai Tianye who was standing in front of her door, Jiujiu really wanted to punch Bai Tianye in the head. Damn it, was there no end to this?
Jiujiu thought that Bai Tianye was a person who cared about his reputation the most. She had embarrassed him in front of so many people, so he wouldn't come looking for her for at least two days. Who would have thought that Bai Tianye would come looking for her in less than two hours? He was really shameless.
Jiujiu looked at Bai Tianye impatiently and asked, "What's the matter?"
Bai Tianye's gentle and elegant smile showed signs of crumbling after being treated so badly by Jiujiu. A trace of doubt flashed across his heart.
He clearly didn't do anything, so why did the Lady Boss hate him so much? Was it really because he said that he would pay for Qi Ye's bill?
Bai Tianye couldn't figure it out.
Bai Tianye smiled gently and said in a deep and magnetic voice, "Lady Boss, you haven't told me where I'll be staying tonight."
Jiujiu snorted coldly, "There are only so many rooms in the inn. You can stay in whichever room you like. Just pay."
Jiujiu slammed the door after she finished speaking.
Looking at the closed door, a trace of anger flashed across Bai Tianye's eyes. His gentle mask showed signs of crumbling.
After closing the door, Jiujiu drank two cups of strong tea before she finally calmed down.
At night, a strong wind blew outside the room. It was as unpleasant as the cries of ghosts.
Jiujiu was about to ask Little White to set up a soundproof barrier for her room when the sound came from the door.
Jiujiu raised her brows.
Could it be that Bai Tianye was going to force?
Jiujiu picked up the dagger and pulled the door open. With a clang, she saw Qi Ye rolling into the room.
Qi's of of course, with a pitiful look on his face. he looked at Jiujiu's face. were's of the puppy eyes..
Jiujiu's expression froze. For some reason, she felt as if she was bullying a child.
. "Qi Ye fas' Qi's's Qi's's... Qi qi't't ''s's's look, he.
"It's too windy outside. I'm scared." Qi Ye frowned.
What does that have to do with you sleeping in front of my door?
Jiujiu was speechless.
Based on her previous temperament, Jiu Jiu would have definitely knocked Qi Ye out with a chop and thrown him into a random room. However, Qi Ye was looking at her with his big, watery eyes that were filled with trust. Jiu Jiu could only step aside with a dark expression and let Qi Ye in.
Qi Ye entered the room. Jiujiu closed the door and took out a blanket from the cabinet. She threw it on the floor and said to Qi Ye, "You'll sleep on the floor tonight."
Qi Ye said gratefully, "Manager, you're so nice."
Although the manager's words were full of disdain, his heart was very kind.
He said he didn't know how to cook, so the manager went to cook for him. He said he was scared, so the manager let him sleep on the floor.
Jiujiu sneered. "Haha."
Jiujiu lay down on the bed and felt sleepy. Qi Ye opened his mouth again: "Shopkeeper, aren't you afraid of opening an inn in the desert by yourself?"
Jiujiu: "No, I'm not scared. Sleep."
Qi Ye: "Manager, you're so awesome. I've walked from the edge of the desert to here, but I'm still scared."
Even a seven foot tall man like him was scared to death, let alone a little girl like Jiujiu.
Moreover, Jiujiu had to deal with those boorish porters and martial artists when she opened the inn. She was truly formidable.
Jiujiu closed her eyes. "Okay, sleep."
Qi Ye: "Manager, you're actually a good person. Not only did you take me in, but you also gave me food and let me sleep in your room. Now, you're even willing to chat with me."
Jiujiu, who was continuously disturbed by Qi Ye, opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. A line of words surged in her heart, 'What sin have I committed?'
Why did she soften her heart and let Qi Ye in? Now, she couldn't sleep.
Jiujiu yawned lazily and said in a nasty tone, "My heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all black. I'm a bad person through and through."
Even though Jiujiu said that, Qi Ye's tone was still grateful. "Manager, you took me in."
Jiujiu: "That's because I hate that hypocrite."
Hearing Jiujiu call Bai Tianye a hypocrite, Qi Ye frowned and defended himself. "Young Master Bai is a very good person."
When the manager wanted to chase him out, he was willing to pay for him to stay in the inn.
Jiujiu sneered. "He's only good on the outside. In his heart, he might be scheming against you."
Jiujiu stopped talking after she finished speaking.
Although Qi Ye wanted to defend Bai Tianye, he didn't want to disturb Jiujiu's rest when he saw that Jiujiu's breathing had stabilized. He closed his eyes as well.
Qi Ye had been on the road for the whole day. He fell asleep after talking to Jiujiu for a while.
After a sleepless night, Jiujiu sent off the traveling merchant as usual the next day and went to the kitchen to prepare food.
Bai Tianye immediately followed Jiujiu into the kitchen. Seeing Jiujiu washing and cutting the vegetables, Bai Tianye frowned and rolled up his sleeves, taking the initiative to say, "Let me help the shopkeeper wash the vegetables."
Jiujiu was surprised when she heard Bai Tianye's voice. "Why haven't you left yet?"
Bai Tianye's face showed a trace of awkwardness. "I'm waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone ~" Jiujiu looked at Bai Tianye and said, "The accommodation here isn't cheap. One hundred taels per night and fifty taels per day for food. If you finish spending your one thousand taels, don't blame me for chasing you away."
Bai Tianye felt a wave of disgust when he heard Jiujiu's price.
She was indeed someone who had never seen the world. Even greed was written all over her face. If it wasn't to save his little junior sister's life, how could he have anything to do with someone like Jiujiu?
Even though he was disgusted, he still put on a fawning expression on his face.
Since Bai Tianye was trying to please her, Jiujiu didn't hold back. She had Bai Tianye wash all the vegetables and cut them according to her requirements. She had him start the fire and cook for her.
In the pugilistic world, who didn't know Bai Tianye's name? Especially those heroines. Every one of them blushed when they heard Bai Tianye's name.
But now, he was being treated like a servant by Jiujiu. Moreover, he was doing it willingly.
