Chapter 1726: Chapter 1726

As you spoke, you directly walked up to the jerk, kicked him, snatched the slave contract from his hand, and threw it to Yao Shuilan.

You tossed a sentence: "You two handle it yourselves from now on."

After that, you didn’t bother with the matter any further and went back to your room to sleep.

Though you’re not afraid of the cold, curling up and sleeping at home in the dead of winter is truly a delightful thing; of course, it would be even better if there were a voluptuous Beautiful Lady in the bed.

Speaking of which, you seem to feel something hardening below your waist, oh—

After sleeping for a while, it’s already midnight, and suddenly you hear someone knocking at the door.

At first, you don’t pay it any mind, but the knocking continues, and it’s very rhythmic, making it sound quite eerie in the dead of night.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock, knock knock knock."

Even someone like you feels a bit creeped out hearing such chilling sounds in the dead of night.

Damn, without Sen Luo Eye in this world, it’s really uncomfortable.

Awakened by the urge to pee in the middle of the night, you headed naked to the toilet, yet the knocking persisted; you discovered it seemed to be coming from your front door, and you walked over to the front door to look outside through the peephole.

The hallway lights were off; outside, only the green emergency signs glowed with dim light.

After looking for a couple of moments, you found no one, and the knocking stopped. Just as you were about to turn around and go back to sleep, it started again!

"Obis Rachi! Can’t anyone get some sleep!"

You quickly open the door, and a gust of eerie cold wind greets you, goosebumps rise all over your naked body, and before you can react, a disheveled figure lunges at you in the darkness, preventing you from clearly seeing the face!

Instinctively, you swiftly reach out, firmly grasping the figure’s neck!

Upon touching it, you feel the skin is ice-cold as if coated with frost, then discover the person seems to have fainted; you hurriedly lay her flat on the ground for closer inspection, only to find it’s Yao Shuilan!

Quickly, you carry Yao Shuilan to the sofa, then go back to the door to find a burlap sack there, presumably her luggage.

Reaching out, you bring the sack inside, close the door, head to the kitchen, and take out ginger and some brown sugar from the fridge to prepare a bowl of ginger sugar water.

When you bring the ginger sugar water to Yao Shuilan, you find she’s already awake, shivering on the sofa.

Seeing Yao Shuilan in such a state, you can’t help but sigh, handing her the ginger sugar water: "Drink it first to warm yourself up."

Yao Shuilan takes the ginger sugar water from your hand, sipping it slowly, feeling a bit warmer. However, she still curls up on the sofa, somewhat avoiding your gaze, and you only then realize you’re stark naked, promptly saying with a laugh: "Sorry, I’ll go put on some clothes."

When you return wearing pajamas, Yao Shuilan is already up, looking somewhat unsteady and still pale.

"Why are you standing? Sit down quickly."

Yao Shuilan sits down as instructed, appearing somewhat restrained.

"Tell me, what happened?"

After a moment of silence, Yao Shuilan speaks with her pleasant voice: "From now on, I’m yours." Googlᴇ search 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Oh my!" You slap your forehead, not expecting things to turn out this way, immediately saying, "Miss Yao, you should know, it’s a civilized society now, trading people is illegal. Moreover, I acted purely out of humanitarianism—well, you might not understand this, simply put, I felt sorry for you and just wanted to help with no other intentions."

Yao Shuilan lowers her head without speaking.

You also simply sit down, facing Yao Shuilan directly: "Since you’ve left that scumbag, you should embrace a new life from now on."

Yao Shuilan still hangs her head, murmuring: "I know how to wash clothes and cook; I’ve sold insurance and many appliances, I also can..."

"Stop!" You hastily interrupt, "I know you’re a good person, and I helped you just because I couldn’t bear to see you suffer. That One hundred and twenty thousand is nothing to me; you should just consider it a donation, alright?"

Yao Shuilan still shakes her head.

Seeing Yao Shuilan , you say many more words, yet she continues bowing her head, determined that you’re her man.

Finally, a bit angry, you slam the table: "I say, why are you so stubborn?"

"Mother said, to repay kindness."

"Right, speaking of your mother, isn’t she hospitalized? Why are you still here? You should be at the hospital caring for her!"

It seems to touch Yao Shuilan’s sore spot, causing her to cry again.

It’s a common weakness for men to be moved by women’s tears, and you are no exception. Seeing Yao Shuilan cry right in front of you, you can only sigh deeply, sit beside her, gently pat her back, and comfort: "Don’t cry, tell me, how is your mother?"

Your inquiry makes Yao Shuilan cry harder; she throws herself into your arms, sobbing with heartfelt emotion, perhaps finding solace, her cries are not mere sobs but wails, as though venting all the grievances and pain within her heart.

By then, you’re at a loss for words; you just hold her like a child, gently patting her back.

After crying for a while, amidst her sobs, Yao Shuilan surprisingly falls asleep.

Letting out a soft sigh, you gently pick up Yao Shuilan, carry her to your bed, remove her shoes, and gently cover her with a blanket.

Watching Yao Shuilan with tears in her eyes, you shake your head, turn away, and close the door.

Your rented apartment still has two rooms, though they lack bedding; stifling a few yawns, you grab a quilt from the closet, roll yourself into it like a burrito, and promptly fall asleep.

When you get up in the morning and exit your room, a pleasant aroma wafts to your nose; you head to the kitchen and find several dishes on the table, including some steaming-hot ones, seemingly just cooked.

Picking up chopsticks, you taste a bite. Mmh, the flavor is quite good.

As you eat, you hear footsteps in the living room; you turn to look, spotting Yao Shuilan still in her usual washed-out suit, holding a water purifier, apparently ready to go out and sell again.
