The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man-Chapter 929 - Love at First Sight
Chapter 929: 929 Love at First Sight Chapter 929: 929 Love at First Sight “Younger brother?” Tao Meijiao looked at her suspiciously.
“Xiao Yue, you’re not possessed, are you?
I remember you being only fifteen—sixteen has not even come.”
“Ahem…” She momentarily forgot that she was spiritually twenty-five, which made it hard not to treat Xiao Qinghe, who was eight years her junior, as a younger brother.
But her own body was only fifteen years old.
She quickly corrected herself, “I misspoke, misspoke, I have always treated him like…
an older brother.
I have never had romantic feelings for my fourth brother.
If you end up with fourth brother, I would be happy to see it happen.”
“Really?” Tao Meijiao’s eyes brightened.
“Mhm.”

Meijiao pressed further, “You’re absolutely sure you won’t harbor any resentment?” If she felt any resentment, she would rather suppress her budding feelings for Xiao Qinghe.
“Not only will I not, but I would actually be happy for fourth brother.” Su Qingyue could fairly assess Tao Meijiao’s character as nothing less than honorable.
“If you’re with him, I would actually be more at ease.
If he were with another woman…
it’s hard to guarantee there wouldn’t be another Li Rong’er.”
Tao Meijiao, being a clever person, asked, “Are you saying Li Rong’er got together with your second brother for money?”
“What else?”
“That’s true, what else could it be for.” Tao Meijiao snorted, “I think Xiao Yishan got what he deserved, to be entangled by a woman like Li Rong’er.
If some woman also has her eyes on fourth brother’s money…”
Su Qingyue gestured towards her with a wink, “Or, perhaps, you could help him take care of it?”
“All that money is yours, what do I need to manage it for?” said Tao Meijiao.
“If I’m with your fourth brother, I would give back your money and fields.
As for the person of your fourth brother, I would put my hand on my heart and take care of him for you!”
Xiao Qinghe just happened to come over with a vegetable basket in one hand and turning the wheels of a chair with the other.
He caught the tail-end of what Tao Meijiao had said—a beautiful young lady proclaiming she would take care of him—causing his face to turn red all the way to his ears.
Seeing Xiao Qinghe’s arrival and hearing her own bold statement, Tao Meijiao also blushed and stuck out her little tongue, “I…
I was just joking…”
Su Qingyue teased, “I know you’re serious.” She patted her on the shoulder.
“Since you want to take care of my fourth brother’s ‘person,’ then I leave fourth brother in your care.”
Tao Meijiao kept her head low and did not speak, sneaking glances at Xiao Qinghe’s expression and noticing that he too had his eyelids lowered, with his pale and handsome face flushed red.
She thought he really was a pure-hearted young man.
Her fondness for him grew even stronger.
“Qingyue, stop talking nonsense.” Even though Xiao Qinghe’s words were meant as a rebuke, his tone carried not a hint of blame.
“Miss Tao is your guest; don’t embarrass her.”
Su Qingyue smiled, “She told me herself she doesn’t feel at ease leaving you alone.”
Xiao Qinghe gave a detached smile and replied distantly, “Thank you for your concern, Miss Tao, but I can take care of myself.” He understood in his heart that Tao Meijiao probably pitied him, an impression of her as a kind-hearted woman.
He placed the water pot and a few cups from the vegetable basket onto the table, and poured a glass of water for both Su Qingyue and Tao Meijiao.
Tao Meijiao observed his humble yet dignified movements, and felt his demeanor exuded a natural ease and elegance.
The more she watched him, the more she liked him.
If there was love at first sight in this world, perhaps this was what it was like.
Tao Meijiao told herself not to have designs on Xiao Qinghe but her eyes, following his every move, simply could not look away.
Su Qingyue held her cup, took a sip of the water fourth brother had poured, and seeing Meijiao’s smitten expression as she gazed at fourth brother, the corners of her lips curled into a smile.
