His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 2]

Chapter 259 - 260

🔘Chapter 259: What A Joke!

Yao Ying couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here, Uncle Qiu? Aren't you busy with the forbidden place's matter?"

He didn't show an ounce of interest towards the forbidden place, knowing that it would make Uncle Qiu feel suspicious.

Not only that, he was really confused with Uncle Qiu's behavior.

They didn't seem to be that close for Uncle Qiu to personally visit them.

Yao Ying and Yao Ling were curious about the reasons for his visit.

'Does he know something? But... it is impossible!' They thought to themselves.

Uncle Qiu sighed and said in a low voice, "I just want to hide myself for a little while!" He felt... really tired with all that happened recently.

In a way, he had a good relationship with Aunt Yue and without her, he would live in boredom here. He sighed in annoyance...

Uncle Qiu felt uncomfortable all over his body and he still felt the indescribable pain in his heart.

However, whenever he went, people always asked him to find a solution and it added to his headache.

No... not only a headache but also heartache.

He had tried to slap his own chest a few time --- just to lessen the heartache, but it didn't work.

He was at a loss at what was going on.

While his mind was blank, his feet took him here on their own...

He couldn't even explain why he chose to be here, instead of Xiao Fang's courtyard.

Yao Ying scratched the back of his head and asked, "Then, why didn't you go and find Xiao Fang?" He didn't mean to be rude, but he just wanted to gauge whether Uncle Qiu remembered something or not.

Maybe his mother's disappearance would trigger something from his memory.

"Those annoying flies know that Xiao Fang's place the only place that I will hide and will search for me there, but they would never guess if I hide here," Uncle Qiu admitted.

This was the only reason that he could come up in his mind.

Honestly, Uncle Qiu's answer made Yao Ling feel a bit disappointed.

It seemed like he still didn't remember anything at all.

However... she was still happy that she could get a closer look at her father.

If she paid more attention, it seemed like she did look a bit like him or maybe it was just her imagination because she already knew that he was her father? She should ask Yao Ying about this later.

Yao Ling started to realize Aunt Yue's feeling when their beloved one was so close... but they couldn't admit their relationship... it was a little painful.

Uncle Qiu seemed to notice Yao Ling's burning gaze that was directed at him.

Why did she keep looking at him? It made him feel uncomfortable.

If she kept doing that, she would think that she had a crush on this old man.

Yao Ying saw Uncle Qiu's reaction and his gaze turned to Yao Ling to see what made Uncle Qiu behaved that way.

Yao Ying really wanted to laugh when he saw Yao Ling's intense gaze. 'No wonder the man feel her gaze is unbearable!' Yao Ying thought to himself.

He cleared his throat, trying to take Yao Ling back to reality.
