Chapter 372: Chapter 375 Blood Incident_1
Bai Qing started muttering again about the person who poisoned his Young Master, "My Young Master is the kindest and most generous of men, he has saved so many lives. I don’t know which despicable miscreant wanted to harm my Young Master, but when I find him, I’ll make sure he’s dead!"
"If the Medicine King knew that his disciple was almost poisoned to death, he would surely be fuming with rage."
Bai Qing strongly agreed, as the Medicine King was known for his fiery temper and would be hopping mad.
The two chatted idly, not knowing when the rain would stop, nor when Bai Yifan would wake up.
Then, something melodramatic happened.
It all started when Bai Yifan coughed twice, and Qiao Duo’er along with Bai Qing immediately went over to check on him.
Bai Yifan seemed to regain a bit of consciousness and suddenly grabbed onto Qiao Duo’er.
Tan Zhenghong, who was dressed in a straw raincoat, just happened to arrive at the mouth of the cave and from that angle, he clearly saw Bai Yifan holding Qiao Duo’er’s hand.
Everything was just perfect, as if it had been rehearsed in advance!
It took Qiao Duo’er quite some effort to shake off Bai Yifan’s hand, and she quickly explained, "That... Don’t misunderstand."
But Bai Yifan murmured, "Duo’er, Duo’er..."
What was this situation? Was this really the time to cause more trouble?
Could it be... Bai Yifan liked her? That was impossible, wasn’t it? The Eldest Young Master of the Bai Family had achieved so much at a young age, how could he be interested in her?
Bai Qing quickly covered his Young Master’s mouth, as he too was unwilling to believe that his Young Master was interested in Qiao Duo’er.
Hmm... It must have been the poison from earlier that had messed up his Young Master’s mind!
Qiao Duo’er was indeed smart and beautiful, but she was already someone else’s wife, and just for that reason alone, his Young Master should not be entertaining any thoughts about her.
Tan Zhenghong saw Qiao Duo’er and immediately rushed in, anxiously asking, "How are you? Did you get wet?"
"I’m fine, that... just now... it was an accident."
Qiao Duo’er weakly explained, as misunderstandings were what she feared the most.
Tan Zhenghong nodded, "I know, and I believe you."
He could feel that his wife loved him, and it was Bai Yifan who had other ideas, but they were futile.
Qiao Duo’er blinked, so was this matter simply explained away?
"How is Young Master Bai? Should we hurry down the mountain?" Tan Zhenghong said, turning to look at Bai Yifan.
Bai Qing touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed as he said, "The poison has been temporarily suppressed; we’ll go down the mountain once the rain stops."
Tan Zhenghong nodded and sat down beside the fire with Qiao Duo’er, pulling out a steamed bun still warm from his body heat. It was already late, and his wife must be starving after being trapped on the mountain.
Qiao Duo’er happily took the steamed bun and started eating it in large bites.
Tan Zhenghong knew her best.
After she finished eating, Tan Zhenghong scolding her with a stern face, "You are not allowed to sneak up the mountain by yourself in the future."
When he found out she was not home, he was nearly worried to death.
Qiao Duo’er stuck out her tongue, then leaned on Tan Zhenghong’s shoulder, "Don’t talk, I’m sleepy, I’m going to sleep for a bit."
She meant to fake sleep to avoid Tan Zhenghong’s nagging, but after two nights of restless sleep, she truly fell asleep this time.
The two of them snuggled up together while Bai Qing couldn’t help feeling somewhat upset.
While they seemed to be as sweet as honey, it was clear that his Young Master was out of the running.
It wasn’t easy for his Young Master, who had always been chaste and free from desires. Finally, he had encountered someone he liked, but she already belonged to someone else.
He could only hope that his Young Master would come to terms with it and not get hung up on one person.
