Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1272 – Coming to Say Goodbye_1 Chapter 1278: Chapter 1272 – Coming to Say Goodbye_1 That’s why Qin Su’e has never dared to tell anyone about this matter. Even when she was with Li Kun for so long, she never mentioned it. What she did not expect, however, was that the first thing this man said to her was not to harm Qin Xue’s family. This made her feel aggrieved, and consequently, she made up her mind about something.

And the decision she made ended up being her downfall. Only at the end did she realize that her cleverness had led her astray. It turns out that some people did not touch her not because they dared not to, but because they thought she was unworthy. Ironically, she wasn’t aware of this and even challenged their bottom lines.

The man made his silent way back to where he was staying. He came here for a mission, originally believing that his task had been fulfilled. However, upon reporting back, he discovered that the person he thought had died was not dead and had come to H Province. As a result, he followed the trail here.

What he didn’t expect was that upon arriving, he would rescue a woman, and this woman would take him home.

He had no intention of staying, but the woman said he could stay in her house, under her man’s name, for as long as he wanted. To avoid suspicion, she told the villagers that he was her current husband and her daughter’s stepfather.

Everything was going smoothly at first, but he didn’t expect to encounter that person here. Upon inquiring, he found out they were visiting the Yues for the New Year. It was quite a coincidence.

He disguised himself and, as the sky turned dark, that person did not recognize him. This was a good thing, it saved a lot of trouble. Upon inquiry, he found out who his in-laws were, and seeing that the mad woman wanted to harm his in-laws, he certainly had to help them.

“You’re back, let’s eat.” Fang’er’s mother put the food on the table with a smile. “How nice it would be if this man were truly hers.”

“Thank you.” The man expressed his thanks with an emotionless face, appearing cold, as if he never knew how to smile. At least Fang’er’s mother had never seen him smile the whole time she knew him. “There’s no need to thank me, you saved my life. If anything, it’s us who should thank you.” She glanced at the man, and then her daughter.

If she were to leave, how would her daughter survive alone? So, if anything, she should be the one thanking him.

“Anyone encountering such events would lend a hand. Let’s not bring this up again.” The man had heard her thanking him countless times, and he consistently disapproved of her expressing gratitude this way.

The reason why he helped was part of his mission, not to gain her gratitude.

And yet the woman’s way of showing gratitude irritated him somewhat. Now he was tied to this woman. If he were to leave later, she would be accused of being abandoned. It would make her life even more difficult then.

And he would be labeled an unfaithful man. But he had no feelings for this woman, nor had he ever considered being with her. So he came to make his leave today.

Put plainly, he could understand why this woman would act in such a way. But some matters truly did not depend on her wishful thinking. His status could not bear any stigma. And the daughter had crossed his bottom line.

“Okay, where did you go today? You’re soaked in sweat. Let me fetch some water for you to wash up.” Fang’er’s mother looked at the man shyly.

“No need. I came here to tell you that I am leaving. Take care of the child and live your life well. Stop dreaming impractical dreams.” The man did not eat the food on the table. He had always paid when he ate. He should have figured out early that things wouldn’t turn out as he wanted. He hadn’t expected this woman to speak in such a way, so he had to leave ahead of schedule.
