Chapter 126: Master of Architecture 6

Jiang Yeqian stared at the stack of paper money.
He swallowed and asked, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll run off with the money?”
“No,” Qi Qingyao said with composure.
“Why are you so confident in yourself?” Jiang Yeqian was baffled.
Qi Qingyao looked up and took another sip of her tea. She grinned, a pondering look in her eyes, as she scrutinized Jiang Yeqian from head to toe.
That look was an unscrupulous one. It made Jiang Yeqian feel uneasy; as if he had been stripped naked within Qi Qingyao’s mind.
Qi Qingyao put her cup down and grinned lecherously.
“That’s because I can easily recall what you look like! I personally think that I’m quite skilled at sketching. I’ll be able to copy your face perfectly, then I’ll add a naked body down below and, to complete it, I’ll draw a woman in there too! Hehehe… I’m sure you get what I mean.”
“…???”
What did he know? He knew nothing of the sort!
He was still a pure, innocent man!
What the heck?
This crazy woman!
Jiang Yeqian felt like he was about to go crazy.
“A set of pornographic serial pictures, the kind that are popular in the streets, will be released, but the man in those pictures will be you!” Qi Qingyao casually said words that would make people vomit blood. “If you don’t believe me, you can try taking the money and running away.”
The corners of Jiang Yeqian’s brow twitched.
He was extremely, extremely curious about her background now!
Looking at his expression of extreme disbelief and incredulity, Qi Qingyao felt quite satisfied.
“I don’t know your name, but you should be someone with quite the background. If it does come to that, I believe that both your enemies and relatives will be very interested when they see you in those pornographic serial pictures. Perhaps I can even earn a sum of money if I publish them as a book. What do you think?”
Jiang Yeqian’s face was ashen as he asked, “Are you a demon?”
Qi Qingyao rolled her eyes. “I pay for your food, and I’ve saved you before. How am I a demon? I’m obviously a cute and alluring angel!” She paused and dug her ears. “Wait, are you asking me how I’d exact revenge on you because you’re planning to betray me?”
Jiang Yeqian shouted exasperatedly, “No!!!”
“Good, good…”
Qi Qingyao smiled innocently and started on her bowl of millet gruel.
The children, who were listening to their conversation, were flummoxed.
They did not fully understand their mother’s words. What are “pornographic serial pictures”? What was “hehehe”?
Conversations between adults were so hard to understand.
They could be certain of something though…
Their mother was threatening Jiang Bai!
Plus she seemed to have succeeded!
Mother was so clever.
Noticing that Qi Qingyao had given Jiang Yeqian something to do, Si Jin raised his hand like an obedient student in middle school.
He asked excitedly, “Elder Sister, how about me? What am I in charge of?”
Qi Qingyao looked at the innocent-looking Si Jin. This jinx…
She considered it for a while. “How skilled are you at cutting wood?”
Si Jin scratched his head and thought about it before saying, “I haven’t done it before, but I can do it.”
Qi Qingyao said, “Then you’ll help with the carpentry. Learn some skills. If I abandon you in the future, then you would still be able to earn a living with those skills!”
“Sure~~~”
It was only after Si Jin had agreed with Qi Qingyao’s words did he realize that there was something wrong with them.
What did she say?
She wanted to abandon him?
Why?
Si Jin pouted. He swore in his mind that he would make himself more useful so that Elder Sister would never be able to live without him!
Qi Qingyao suddenly took notice of Jiang Yeqian, who was counting the stack of paper money, and remembered that she had given him all the money and left herself with nothing. She then quickly drew two notes from his hands.
“I passed you everything and forgot to leave some for myself…”
Jiang Yeqian said nothing. He wordlessly handed her one more note.
Qi Qingyao pocketed the notes and reminded Jiang Yeqian to do the accounts for her.
Jiang Yeqian paused in the middle of counting notes and came back to his senses. “…”
He had put his job as the Grand Secretariat aside to work for Qi Qingyao. Not only was he the brawn of the group, he was also her accountant now! Oh, and he also had to work part-time as her contractor…
What… What was in it for him actually?
Damn it!
