Chapter 936: 936
Xiao Qinghe had never seen such a bold woman before, “Miss Tao!”
Realizing she had startled him, Tao Meijiao also felt embarrassed and said, “Over the years, I have been in charge of the Tao Mansion’s business.
I am used to being straightforward and dealing with all kinds of people, so I am bolder than ordinary women.
It may be abrupt of me to say this.
Xiao Qinghe, the truth is, the moment I saw you, I liked you.
You are the partner I have been looking for.
We now have the opportunity to get to know each other, which is much better than many people who only meet in the bridal chamber after getting married, don’t you think?”
Speaking of the bridal chamber made Tao Meijiao’s face turn red.
Xiao Qinghe’s facial expression was extremely awkward.
This woman was just too brazen, too shameless!
“Pfft!” Su Qingyue’s laughter came from outside, “On this dark and windy night, why don’t you two just have your bridal chamber in advance?”
Hearing her words, Xiao Qinghe’s handsome face cooled down.
He looked at Su Qingyue with a disappointed, dejected expression, pursed his lips, but in the end said nothing.
Tao Meijiao approached Su Qingyue, “Look what you did, you scared fourth brother.”
Then she called out to Xiao Qinghe, “Fourth brother, snap out of it, the vegetables in the pot are about to burn.”
That’s when Xiao Qinghe hurriedly picked up the spatula and started stir-frying the vegetables on the table.
“Why do you call Qinghe what?” Su Qingyue raised an eyebrow.
Tao Meijiao replied, “Fourth brother.”
Su Qingyue couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.
“Xiao Yue, you don’t need to laugh so exaggeratedly,” she said suspiciously.
“Don’t you call him that too?”
Su Qingyue continued to laugh boisterously, only straightening up after having her fill, “Please, I’m 15 years old, and fourth brother is 17.
It’s only natural for me to call him brother.
Miss Tao, how old are you?”
“Nine…
nineteen.” Tao Meijiao suddenly blushed, “Is Xiao Qinghe only 17 years old?”
She nodded.
Meijiao suddenly tripped over her tongue, “Then me calling him fourth brother is…”
“Laughable,” Su Qingyue kindly finished for her.
Meijiao, unable to save face, snorted, “Blame it on Xiao Qinghe.
I call him fourth brother, and he doesn’t object.”
Xiao Qinghe spoke gently, “I…
didn’t know your age.”
“Now you do.” She flashed him a smile.
“Fourth young Master Xiao, what do you think I should call you?”
“Just call me Xiao Qinghe,” he replied with a stern tone.
“No,” she said, “I want to call you fourth young Master.”
Xiao Qinghe’s expression became serious, “Miss Tao, please have some self-respect!”
“It is out of self-respect that I call you fourth young Master, otherwise I would want to call you my husband,” Tao Meijiao said, stubborn once she had made up her mind and thick-skinned too.

Li Rong’er, listening by the side, was full of disdain, thinking that Tao Meijiao was simply too shameless.
Considering that she was a young lady from a wealthy family and she didn’t have the means to confront her, she endured it.
Xiao Qinghe remained silent, his face red with embarrassment and filled with intense displeasure.
Unfortunately, it seemed as though Tao Meijiao didn’t see it at all, not taking his anger seriously, and instead, she found his reaction rather amusing.
Xiao Yuchuan walked into the kitchen from outside and asked, “Is it time for dinner yet?
I’m hungry after a day’s work.”
“It is ready,” Xiao Qinghe said as he served the last dish on the table.
Tonight’s meal was rather plentiful, with a plate of fried pork, stir-fried leek and egg, a bowl of stewed chicken soup bought from the villagers at the last minute, fresh fried fish, and a bowl of stir-fried vegetables.
Xiao Yuchuan exclaimed, “Wow, there’s such a rich variety of dishes tonight!”
