Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

505 Indirect Kiss

Xiao Yue said, “I’ll ask the family if there’s any medicine for injuries.” With that, Xiao Yue walked into the house.

But Qiao An limped toward Xing Chen’s’ house.

Xing Chen was working in the living room, holding the herbs he had dug up from the mountain and then crushing them into powder in the alms bowl. Qiao An stood at the door and asked him for help. “Brother Xing Chen, do you have any hemostatic medicine?”

Xing Chen, who had been in a daze for a long time, suddenly looked up when he heard this voice.

Seeing the scrape on Qiao An’s arm, he stood up anxiously.

“Are you hurt?”

Qiao An limped in, then sat on the wooden bench beside him as if she was at home. “The mountain road is not easy. My bike skidded.”

Xing Chen suddenly held her hand and raised her arm. His heart ached when he saw a large bruise.

Qiao An smiled at his concerned expression.

She raised her legs again and rolled up her pants, revealing her long, fair legs. They were well-proportioned and slender.

There was some kind of burning emotion flowing in Xing Chen’s eyes. However, he was someone with strong willpower and finally restrained his improper thoughts.

“Wait here. I’ll get you some medication.” He stood up and went to the wall cabinet to find a bottle of powder.

When he returned, he handed her a bottle. “Apply it to the wound, twice a day, morning and night.”

Qiao An wheedled and said coquettishly, “Can you apply it for me? I’m afraid of pain.” She deliberately closed her eyes.

Xing Chen knew that she was doing it deliberately, but he was inexplicably bowled over by how adorable she was. His eyes were filled with smiles, then he poured out the powder and gently applied it to her.

At this moment, Qiao An opened her eyes and studied his handsome face seriously. After not seeing him for a few years, he hadn’t changed except for his dress sense. He was still as handsome as ever.

When Xing Xiaoya returned with firewood, she saw Xing Chen holding Qiao An’s feet with one hand and squatting on the ground to apply medicine for her.

She was so angry that she threw away the firewood on her back and rushed in angrily. “Why are you so shameless? Why are you seducing my Brother Xing Chen again?”

Qiao An smiled at her brightly. “Your brother knows medicine. I was injured and asked him to treat me. Don’t make a fuss.”

Xing Chen looked at her sly face. For some reason, he could not hate her even though he knew that this girl was scheming.

“Okay.” Afraid that Xing Xiaoya and Qiao An would argue again, he simply asked Qiao An to leave. “You can leave.”

Qiao An choked.

“Brother Xing Chen, can you make me another dinner?”

Xing Chen saw the pleading look in her eyes, as pitiful as a pug. He felt compassion.

“What do you want to eat?”

Xing Xiaoya panicked. She stepped forward and pulled Qiao An out. “Get out. You’re not welcome here. Brother Xing Chen is mine. He only cooks for me and not for an outsider like you.”

Every time Xing Xiaoya messed around, Xing Chen would obey her. This might have something to do with his naturally protective personality. He was always rational and knew who to be good to and who not to. He would always make rational choices.

Therefore, in the face of Xing Xiaoya’s rudeness, he only told Qiao An helplessly, “My Xiaoya doesn’t like you very much. You’d better not come again in case she makes things difficult for you.”

His “my Xiao Ya” triggered Qiao An’s anger.

She was clearly his family.

She was stubborn. She secretly took it seriously. She had to eat this meal.

“Xing Xiaoya, tell me, what will it take for you to let me stay for dinner?” Qiao An tried to bargain with Xing Xiaoya.

However, Xing Xiaoya was extremely stubborn. “There are no conditions for negotiation. Leave immediately. This is my home. I don’t want to see you.”

“I’ll give you money. A thousand?”

Xing Xiaoya said, “Pfft, who cares?”

Qiao An added, “A meal.”

This mountain village was remote and it was not easy to earn money. A thousand dollars for a meal was simply an astronomical price. As expected, Xing Xiaoya hesitated.

She secretly deliberated. A meal would cost a thousand dollars, three thousand a day. That would be ninety thousand a month.

Was this a rare opportunity to get rich?

However, she was extremely worried that the woman in front of her would snatch her Xing Chen. After weighing the pros and cons, Xing Xiaoya gritted her teeth and agreed.

“Alright, on account of the money, I’ll prepare food for you.” Xing Xiaoya walked towards the kitchen.

A faint joy seeped out of Xing Chen’s heart.

He stole a glance at Qiao An and saw her lips curl into a smug smile.

Instead, he fell into deep thought.

“Why did you beg to stay in my house?” he asked.

Qiao An smiled at him. “I like you. Can’t you tell?”

Xing Chen didn’t expect her to be so direct and was instantly embarrassed. “Are all the girls in your city so direct?”

Qiao An said, “It depends on the person. You’re only so direct when you meet someone you especially like.”

Xing Chen’s ears burned from her teasing.

At this moment, Xing Xiaoya turned back and glared at Qiao An warily. She said to Xing Chen, “Brother Xing Chen, come and help.”

Xing Chen followed her into the kitchen.

Qiao An felt especially upset to see a man like him trapped in the kitchen every day. She was selfish and felt that Huo Xiaoran could only enter the kitchen for her and the children. Why should he cook for Xing Xiaoya?

Not long after, Xing Xiaoya brought out a bowl of noodles and handed it to Qiao An. “Eat.”

The noodles were clear. Qiao An glanced at Xing Xiaoya anxiously. “I want to eat your bowl.”

Xing Xiaoya looked a little unnatural. At this moment, Xing Chen walked over and handed his bowl of noodles to Qiao An. “You can eat mine.”

Qiao An saw that it was also clear, but there was more.

She was happy to accept Xingchen’s concern and happily took it. However, when she picked up her chopsticks, there was an egg under the noodles in the bowl.

Xing Chen took Qiao An’s bowl of plain noodles and ate with relish. Xing Xiaoya entered the kitchen with a drooping face.

Qiao An limped over to Xing Chen and picked the egg into his bowl. Xing Chen looked at her. He was clearly flattered. “You eat,” Qiao An said. “How can a man like you work without something nutritious?”

Xing Chen was touched by her thoughtfulness. But he handed the poached egg back to her and smiled. “You’re injured. You should eat something nutritious.”

Qiao An was very depressed and thought to herself, Why did Huo Xiaoran come to such a remote place? He was so poor that even eating was a big problem.

She bit hard into the egg, then handed it back to him. “Half each, then.”

Xing Chen was stunned by her actions.

Was this considered an indirect kiss?
