33: Chapter 33 Playing Tricks 33: Chapter 33 Playing Tricks In that era, the people who could afford cars were extrely rare, and they had to be either influential or wealthy.
As soon as An Hao saw the car, she knew it was Qin Jian’s.
Wasn’t he here for a New Year’s visit to relatives?
Why did he leave so soon?
Qin Jian was sitting in the car, looking from side to side.
The marketplace in the town was always set up along the roadside, so one had to pass through it to get anywhere.
Through the car window, he happened to see An Hao selling goods by the roadside.
Rembering the tangy and delicious candied haws from the other day, Qin Jian felt a slight stirring in his heart and stopped the car.
It was hard to describe exactly what he was feeling, but he headed straight for the place where An Hao was selling those candied haws.
Song Yueqin was talking to An Hao.
Seeing An Hao’s gaze drift across the street, she grew curious and followed the gaze, only to see a tall and magnificent man walking toward them.
He was dressed in an impeccably neat Zhongshan suit.
His outstanding deanor was striking even in a crowd, marking him as soone exceptional.
He had a chiseled face, handso features, but was not prone to laughter, as if he were a man who had stepped right out of a poster.
My God!
How could there be such a handso man!
His bearing was extraordinary, and passing by here in a car, he was clearly either soone of status or soone with a powerful job!
Song Yueqin took a liking to him at first sight; this masculine, aloof man was precisely her type!
In her dreams, she longed to marry a man like him!
While Song Qian was lost in thought, Qin Jian had arrived at An Hao’s stall.
“Give ten jin of hawthorn cake and hawthorn candy snowballs!” he said, pointing to the few items left.
An Hao smiled.
“Okay.”
She swiftly weighed the items and handed them over to Qin Jian.
An Ping stretched out a hand for the money: “Four yuan!”
Qin Jian pulled out four yuan from his pocket and handed it to An Ping, taking the package of treats.
“Brother Qin, are you heading back to the research institute now?” An Hao asked casually.
“Yes,” Qin Jian answered formally, “My vacation is over, so it’s ti to go back!”
Song Yueqin felt a twinge of jealousy upon seeing that An Hao actually knew this man.
In her eyes, An Hao should’ve been her follower, should’ve been the greenery that set off her own splendor.
Why should she be the one stealing the lilight as the blossom!!
So, she imdiately put on what she considered a charming smile and asked, “An Hao, you know this big brother?”
An Hao turned her head to glance at Song Yueqin, and seeing the look in her eyes, she knew Song Yueqin had her eyes set on Qin Jian.
How foolish she had been in her last life, never having realized from the very first glance that she liked Qin Jian, allowing Song Yueqin to ddle between them.
This ti, it would not happen again.
“Mm-hmm,” she responded, her voice neither warm nor cold.
Song Yueqin imdiately showed an admiring face: “Brother Qin, which research institute are you from?
I’ve always envied intellectuals!
I’ve dreamt of becoming a young female intellectual, of being a top student.
Do you have any good study thods?”
Qin Jian’s gaze had originally been on An Hao, but hearing Song Yueqin say this, he shifted his attention to her.
An Hao knew this was one of Song Yueqin’s usual tricks.
In her previous life, Song Yueqin had caused no small amount of trouble behind her back, all in an attempt to capture Qin Jian’s attention like this.
Annoyed, she replied coolly: “Yueqin, Brother Qin is very busy with work.
Perhaps you can ask him another ti.
Take care, Brother Qin!”
