Chapter 366: Another Encounter With Zhang Qiang

But when she emerged from the department store, she did not return to the Gu house. Instead, she went straight to Mo Beihan’s house.
She lay in bed and read until it was time to cook a meal and wait for Mo Beihan to come home.
Sure enough, Mo Beihan arrived home punctually after work. His heart filled with warmth as he sniffed the aroma of cooking in his home. But all he said was, “Didn’t I tell you not to cook? It’s so hot. If you wanted to eat anything, you should have waited for me to get home so I could cook. Don’t you think it’s too hot!”
The fan in the living room was on, and the house was cool. Gu Qingyao emerged from the bedroom and said with a smile, “I was afraid you’d be tired out from work. So I finished cooking and waited for you!”
Mo Beihan went over to hug her. “I’m a grown man. Surely, cooking a meal won’t exhaust me?”
Gu Qingyao laughed and brought the food from the kitchen. Mo Beihan washed his hands and went to the table to eat.
Gu Qingyao told him about what had happened that day at the black market. When Mo Beihan heard Gu Qingyao’s description, that the old man’s surname was Qin, his wife’s surname was Jiang, and her description of the wife’s illness, Mo Beihan knew that it must be the Qin family, which was so famous in his previous life.
In her previous life, Yao Yao had also interacted with them. No wonder she had gone to help them.
Mo Beihan looked at Gu Qingyao and smiled. But Gu Qingyao did not notice the gleam of amusement in his eyes.
“You’re so amazing! You can even cure such a complicated illness. Looks like you’re a young divine doctor!”
Gu Qingyao laughed and said, “That’s right. I’m a young divine doctor. I’m truly incredible!”
Mo Beihan was amused!
After they had eaten, Mo Beihan did the dishes while Gu Qingyao used the sewing machine to make some clothes for Mo Beihan.
When Mo Beihan came back and saw her sewing, he looked at her with anticipation and asked, “Is that for me?”
“Mhm!”
Mo Beihan was immediately delighted. He lay in a lounge, his gaze wandering between the book in his hand and Gu Qingyao, who was making clothes for him. How delightful!
In his previous life, he would never have dreamt that he would live like this with Yao Yao!
The sewing machine was quick and the clothes were done before the sun set. Mo Beihan walked her home.
But they unexpectedly encountered Zhang Qiang and his gang.
Zhang Qiang’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Gu Qingyao.
He was completely besotted with this young girl after meeting her that day. She was much prettier than Ji Mingyue. He must have her.
For the past few days, he had been going around the neighborhood, asking about her. But the people in that area did not seem to know her well, so he did not obtain any useful information.
He felt that this was strange. How could it be that no one had noticed such a pretty young girl?
He did not know that Gu Qingyao seldom left the house, but some of her neighbors did know her, especially those who lived near Old Master Ji’s little clinic. They had certainly seen her before.
But everyone knew what Zhang Qiang was like. If this fellow was asking about a pretty young girl, he was certainly up to no good, so no one told him anything.
He did not even glance at Mo Beihan but simply overlooked him. He rushed over to Gu Qingyao and blocked her way. His eyes were fixed on Gu Qingyao as he said, “Miss, it’s me. Do you remember me? I’m your Elder Brother Qiang!”
Gu Qingyao was startled when he suddenly rushed over. She was not on the alert since she was with Mo Beihan. She had been chatting with him!
She did not expect this fellow to suddenly rush over.
Gu Qingyao frowned. She found this fellow’s expression disgusting. She felt that she did not want him to look at her.
Several people were following Zhang Qiang. When they saw Zhang Qiang rush over, they took the initiative to gather around, encircling Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao.
