Chapter 968: Chapter 968: The Fool Who Was Deceived for Most of His Life_1 Chapter 968: Chapter 968: The Fool Who Was Deceived for Most of His Life_1 Just like any other ordinary couple, that is, Qiao Xiaomai could now conceive normally.

Thinking of this, he really sighed a breath of relief in his heart.

As long as he could be with Qiao Xiaomai, he didn’t care whether they had children or not.

However, if they could have a well-behaved daughter like Qiao Xiaomai, that would be very nice!

Holding such thoughts, even confined to lying down and immobile, Tong Tiehu was no longer depressed.

Although he had nearly died, he had also solved a major hidden danger.

After a simple breakfast, Qiao Xiaomai went out for a stroll.

Everything in the manor was now arranged by Gao Lian; she wandered to the guest house door, wanting to ask Yang Wenxiao if there was anything he needed her help with.

As she entered the courtyard of the guest house, she immediately saw Yang Wenxiao hammering away, surrounded by wood and carpenter’s tools. She couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “Your Majesty, what are you…”

Yang Wenxiao, having been notified of her arrival and hearing her question, answered without lifting his head, “Making a sled.”

“You don’t have to do it yourself, let someone else take care of it,” Xiaomai said as she already approached him.

At her words, Yang Wenxiao chuckled, “No need, I want to make it myself, I’m planning to burn it as an offering for your great-grandmother next time we go up the mountain.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

Her eyes slightly widened, and she was already cursing in her heart.

Fuck!

If she hadn’t read Liuli’s last letter, relying solely on the snippets Yang Wenxiao revealed and her own conjectures, she would have felt pity for Liuli and Yang Wenxiao.

In her consistent speculation, Liuli must have had feelings for Yang Wenxiao; otherwise, why would she use treasures to lure and trap the aristocratic families?

What’s more, she gave Yang Wenxiao a bowl of rice, saving his life!

And the explosive recipe, all these together seemed to indicate that Liuli had feelings for Yang Wenxiao.

Yang Wenxiao surely thought so too, and thus was deeply in love with Liuli.

But…

The truth is cruel.

Liuli had been using Yang Wenxiao from beginning to end, never harboring any love for him.

Moreover, she was full of distrust towards him, leaving many precautions to protect Tong Tiehu and Yu Ang, the brothers.

And Yang Wenxiao?

Not only had he reminisced about her for decades, but now he was actually putting his heart into making a sled for Liuli like a teenager with his first brush of infatuation.

Tsk tsk.

Tsk tsk, Liuli, coming from the future and being a dual superpower, what good things hasn’t she seen?

A mere sled really couldn’t pique her interest.

If Yang Wenxiao knew about these things, he would probably go mad…

After tutting twice more in her heart, Qiao Xiaomai showed a smile on her face, “Your Majesty, then please proceed with your work. If you need anything, send someone to call me.”

“Go back and take care of Tiehu,” Yang Wenxiao still didn’t look up, continuing his hammering and occasionally glancing at his design plans, always with a faint smile on his face.

He truly resembled a green youth fallen in love.

Fool yo!

With a heart filled with mixed emotions, she returned to Mai Yuan and recounted what she had seen to Tong Tiehu, finally remarking, “I’ve always thought of Yang Wenxiao as a winner in life, but now it seems he’s just a fool who has been deceived for most of his life.”

Tong Tiehu was silent for a moment before speaking, “Compared to what Liuli gave him, what’s this bit of deception worth?”

Although Liuli intended to use him, she also offered him tangible benefits: the explosive recipe, a bowl of rice.

If Liuli really had left his great-grandfather and went with Yang Wenxiao, then it might well have been Yang Wenxiao who would have died when the Liuli Space underwent a change.
