"Hey, hello?"
Seeing him run off, Daisy Tina's face turned red with anger. She pointed at his retreating back, "I thought he was a reliable person, but I didn't expect him to be so easily swayed by money."
"Who in this world isn't after money? It's not wrong to openly like money. People like this know what they want, and as long as the money is enough, he'll risk his life for Meng Jingwei."
Old Shen thought that as long as money could solve a problem, it wasn't a problem at all.
"That's true, Teacher. You make sense."
Thinking about it carefully, it really was so.
Daisy Tina nodded in strong agreement.
At the same time, down the mountain.
Qing Muye jogged to catch up with Meng Jingwei, waving the five thousand yuan in his hand and recounting everything that had just happened to her.
After listening, she burst into laughter, "Hahahaha... Ah... Tie Zhuzi, are you trying to kill me with laughter? I can almost imagine how terrible Daisy Tina's expression must have been."
Familiarity tempted her to call him 'A Ye', but the words caught in her throat, and she swallowed them back.
Carefulness ensures a safe voyage.
At all times, she had to be cautious, lest there be ears listening through the walls.
Seeing Meng Jingwei laughing heartily, Qing Muye's lips also curved into an arc.
Heaven knew how much Qing Muye wanted to hold Meng Jingwei's hand at that moment, but...
He couldn't, and he dared not.
"She was indeed quite angry." It couldn't be denied.
Meng Jingwei covered her mouth with her hand, still chuckling, and tilted her head to look at Qing Muye as she asked, "I never realized you were so good at acting and disguise before. How many more secrets do you have that I don't know about?"
"Want to know?"
"Yes, very much."
"Alright. After we leave the Hidden Clan, I will tell you everything."
"We will definitely go back soon."
Meng Jingwei herself lacked confidence as she spoke.
As her voice fell, her steps halted. She turned to face Qing Muye directly, her clear eyes revealing a hint of worry, "Your... wearing makeup for so long without removing it is very damaging to your skin."
Under the special circumstances, the makeup on Qing Muye's face was long-lasting and troublesome to remove. But precisely because of this, the cosmetics on his face would also cause significant damage to his skin.
"It's fine. Xiao Si made this especially for me. It's very breathable and doesn't harm the skin."
Although the cosmetics Qing Muye used were specially made by Tang Si and only reduced skin damage, they could not reduce it to zero.
Meng Jingwei knew this very well.
Qing Muye said this simply because he didn't want Meng Jingwei to feel guilty because of him.
"Let's go..."
Meng Jingwei met Qing Muye's gaze with deep affection for a moment, complex emotions surging in her clear eyes. Although she really wanted to step forward and give Qing Muye a hug, she had to restrain her emotions.
She remembered his kindness to her by heart.
Pulling her gaze back, Meng Jingwei lowered her head to look at the steps. Her nose tingled, her eyes felt hot, and she remained silent for a long time.
"It's good to be able to accompany you by your side openly in the future."
Qing Muye played with the five thousand yuan he had obtained from Old Shen, looking straight ahead, and sighed with emotion.
"This money was for Old Shen to buy you clothes. Let's go buy you some outfits. The Hidden Clan's ceremonial robes suit you quite well."
The people of the Hidden Clan dressed quite conservatively. Even the men's summer wear mostly consisted of seven-quarter sleeves, effectively concealing their figures.
Qing Muye had makeup on and had changed his appearance, but the scars on his body could not be hidden. If he wore the Hidden Clan's clothing, it would naturally be better.
"Let's go. It's great to go shopping with my wife."
Seeing that the current stretch of road was relatively empty, Qing Muye dared to call her 'wife' so openly.
