Jiang Tingyu wore a faint smile from beginning to end, with his attractive Pearl Dimple occasionally visible.
Xia Yuhan deliberately avoided staring at Jiang Tingyu. Otherwise, such a stunningly beautiful figure would provoke the urge to look a second time, and once she looked a second time, her gaze would be unable to pull away from Jiang Tingyu.
With looks like that, it's no wonder all the women liked him and wished to marry him.
If it were modern times, she Xia Yuhan would feel the same way...
Noticing that Xia Yuhan seemed somewhat distracted, Jiang Tingyu merely responded with a faint "mm" to her apology and moved on.
"By the way, Lord Jiang, did you come to Xia Manor today to see my Daddy?"
After some polite conversation, Xia Yuhan didn't want to beat around the bush any longer and got straight to the point with Jiang Tingyu.
Jiang Tingyu elegantly unfolded a thin fan and began to fan himself slowly, not in a hurry to answer Xia Yuhan's question but leisurely observing the bamboo grove in the courtyard.
"Jiang Tingyu has come this time for Yuhan. This time, Yuhan has inexplicably gotten caught up in a whirlpool. Since it is impossible to escape this whirlpool, I hope that while it has not yet subsided, Yuhan can take care of herself! If things go lightly, it will lead to dissatisfaction among the people; if things go heavily, it could shake the very foundation of the Azure Dragon Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhan couldn't help but feel even more respect for Jiang Tingyu. Achieving such a position in government was already rare in ancient times! Moreover, this person was the Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom!
"What you say, my lord, I will remember deeply. I will definitely protect myself well and not give evildoers any opportunity. Your kindness is truly precious; I don't know how to repay you..."
When Jiang Tingyu heard the words "kindness," his eyes sparkled as he quietly gazed at Xia Yuhan, as if expecting something.
However, when he heard her say "I don't know how to repay," his beautiful eyes dimmed slightly, yet his lips still held that gentle and understanding smile: "Jiang Tingyu does everything out of duty; there’s no need for thanks. If Yuhan had relied on being from Xia Manor and created chaos recklessly, Jiang Tingyu would absolutely not have stepped in to help. So if thanks are due, they should be directed towards yourself."
In truth, Xia Yuhan was just hesitating about what gift to give to Jiang Tingyu, something worthy enough to match someone as divine as him.
Xia Yuhan looked at Jiang Tingyu, who was admiring the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, and asked, "I wonder if Lord Jiang knows martial arts?"
He turned back and smiled gently, "Yuhan, it is fair that I have given you abundant talent; that is enough."
Xia Yuhan did not expect that a handsome man could also possess noble thoughts and a focused gaze...
Her eyes sparkled as she deliberately avoided Jiang Tingyu's intense gaze. "Lord Jiang, emotions follow Yu Han inside. Yu Han has something that is not worth much but is very precious that I would like to give to you, to repay your several life-saving favors."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingyu put away his fan. "I am quite looking forward to that thing that is not worth much yet very precious!"
Xia Yuhan lowered her voice intentionally. "Yes, Lord Jiang, please follow me. This item is more precious than my life, so it is well hidden and must not be known by outsiders."
Jiang Tingyu stood elegantly with his hands behind his back. "Aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into your home? What if I have ulterior motives?"
"Yu Han believes in you, wholeheartedly believes in you. Please come into the inner room."
Her tone was firm, without a hint of hesitation.
Jiang Tingyu found Xia Yuhan increasingly interesting. With curiosity and a scrutinizing mindset, he followed Xia Yuhan into the inner room...
Originally, they had been laughing outside Xia Yuhan's house, which was noticed by someone watching them. That person muttered Xia Yuhan's name under their breath, wishing they could tear her apart!
Especially after Xia Yuhan led Jiang Tingyu into the inner room, the person who was secretly watching felt so furious that they wanted to rush over and slap Xia Yuhan for being so shameless.
Fortunately, the maid beside her pulled her back just in time.
"Big sister, this absolutely cannot happen! If you ruin your image because of that scoundrel Xia Yuhan, Lord Jiang might not like you anymore!"
"Yes, yes, I can't just rush in like that. I need to be gentle and graceful, and maintain my composure; only then can I win Lord Jiang's heart!"
Xia Wan'er repeatedly told herself to hold back, she must hold back...
However, it wasn't just Xia Wan'er and her group who were peeking; there was also Cang Yile, who loved to climb over the walls of Xia Manor.
When Cang Yile saw Xia Yuhan looking a bit shy at Jiang Tingyu, his eyes lit up with sparks, wishing he could just rush in.
It really made him furious!
This woman, why couldn't she speak nicely to him? Why couldn't she show him a bit of tenderness? He was charming and dashing too!
...
If the two inside the room knew what the two outside were thinking, they would surely be speechless and very angry, right?
But fortunately, they didn't know.
Walking into the inner room, behind a screen, Xia Yuhan found an inconspicuous wooden box among a pile of firewood.
However, the material of this box was quite special, immediately catching Jiang Tingyu's attention.
"Yuhan, this box may not look like much, but why have I never seen this material before?"
Xia Yuhan mysteriously replied, "Opportunities must not be revealed!"
If she explained the origin of this box, Jiang Tingyu wouldn't understand anyway; it was better not to go through all that trouble.
This box was a piece of modern equipment that she accidentally saw in this room when she returned to Xia Manor.
Inside, it was equipped with some items used for outdoor survival, as well as some first aid supplies.
As for why this box appeared in this room, Xia Yuhan couldn't explain it either. For more chapters, please visit.
Xia Yuhan cleared the box out and exerted a lot of effort to drag it to the center of the screen. Then she tightly closed the surrounding screens. At the same time, to Jiang Tingyu's surprise, Xia Yuhan somehow produced a large piece of fabric from somewhere and covered it over the screens.
The narrow space instantly became dark. Xia Yuhan had prepared candles in advance and quietly lit them, then sincerely bowed towards Jiang Tingyu, lowering her voice very low.
"On that day, Yu Han was scorned, mocked, and despised by everyone. If it weren't for your timely appearance, I fear Yu Han would already be dead. So if you ever need help in the future, I, Xia Yuhan, will risk my life to assist you!"
Jiang Tingyu hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "Jiang Tingyu has always cared for the common people; this is only right. You don't need to worry about it, Yuhan!"
In such a narrow space, staying too long would inevitably lead to gossip, so Xia Yuhan didn't say much more. For more chapters, please visit.
"Thank you, Lord Jiang!"
With that, Xia Yuhan leaned down and placed her hand on the dark box, fiddling with something.
This box was inconspicuous; indeed, it was black and unremarkable. In fact, it was Xia Yuhan's Treasure Chest.
When she was in modern times, Xia Yuhan liked to paint her most treasured items black so that when she took them out, people would mistakenly think there was nothing valuable inside, thus concealing them from prying eyes.
"Yuhan, what are you doing? You've been leaning over that box for a while now!"
"Oh, I'm entering the password."
Because she was dealing with modern things, the conversation became a bit more casual.
"Password? What is that?"
"This is like the acrostic poems you have here, a secret code."
Jiang Tingyu became increasingly confused by Xia Yuhan, her beautiful brows furrowing: "Here? Isn't Yuhan one of us?"
Xia Yuhan's body stiffened. How could she have carelessly said such things? It was too careless of her, but fortunately, Jiang Tingyu, who knew this information, meant her no harm.
Just then, the password box opened wide, and the dim light inside caught Jiang Tingyu's attention: "What is this? Why does it glow on its own?"
This box itself was a power storage unit; its panels were made from solar cells, so it still had a faint charge left.
Of course, Xia Yuhan could never explain this to Jiang Tingyu.
"Sir, please forgive Yu Han for not being able to explain."
As Xia Yuhan quickly counted the layers of the box, she pondered which layer contained the item she was looking for. She couldn't open each layer one by one; otherwise, she would truly have no secrets left here.
The box had a total of one hundred layers, but she could only access ten of them.
Although this box was modern equipment, its functions inside were quite strange. Initially, it only had one layer and was very portable.
However, as she participated in protecting the public more frequently, the number of layers she could access increased.
Eventually, it grew to ten layers, and the size and weight of the box had increased tenfold compared to when she first discovered it.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of carrying it later, she would not have used this box again. It seems that it could open up to twenty layers, right?
Xia Yuhan was quite frustrated with the equipment on each layer because the items in the box flowed like water; once the water was gone, more would come in, but the incoming water was much less and flowed in more slowly.
In other words, the commonly used equipment in the box had limited reproduction and could not be used indefinitely.
Strangely enough, ever since Xia Yuhan obtained this strange box, her life had been anything but peaceful. There were always issues at work, family conflicts, and the loss of loved ones...
"Yuhan, the existence of this thing is truly a miracle!"
If it weren't for Jiang Tingyu's exclamation, Xia Yuhan wouldn't have snapped back to reality so quickly.
She hurriedly took out the Bulletproof Vest from the fifth layer, swiftly closed the box, and lifted the curtain that hung over their heads. By the time Jiang Tingyu opened his eyes again, the box was already gone.
Xia Yuhan efficiently removed the screen in the room and presented the Bulletproof Vest with both hands to Jiang Tingyu: "My lord, Yu Han wishes to give you this treasure that is more precious than my life."
