Chapter 238: Fight

Little did Yan Siming and Gong Tianhao know that Xiao Lingyu, who had walked into the house, could hear their conversation clearly.

When Xiao Lingyu heard Yan Siming asking Gong Tianhao if he was pursuing her, her heart was in her throat. Her face revealed a look of panic and uneasiness. She clenched the teacup tightly.

Crack!

The sound of the teacup shattering!

Clang!

The sound of the teacup falling to the ground!

Xiao Lingyu crushed the cup. When Xiao Lingyu noticed it, cracks had spread across the entire cup like a spider web.

She was shocked, and the cup in her hands fell to the ground. ‘When did a teacup become so fragile? Or have I become stronger?’

The two men outside heard the sound and looked at each other. Then, they rushed into the house, looking nervous.

After all, Xiao Lingyu was a pregnant woman with a baby.

“Lingyu, what’s wrong?” Yan Siming asked anxiously before he even entered the house.

Xiao Lingyu was woken up by Yan Siming’s voice. She was still a little confused and uneasy. When the two men saw her expression, they thought that she had gotten into an accident. After all, they knew how much she loved her child in the belly.

Yan Siming immediately comforted her, “Lingyu, don’t panic. Everything is fine now.”

Gong Tianhao frowned as he looked at the fragments on the ground. Then, he said, “Stand there and don’t move!”

Xiao Lingyu was carrying his child.

It was difficult to avoid these fragments, so he had to clean them up first. He looked around, but he did not find a broom. Then, he asked, “Where is the broom?”

“…” Xiao Lingyu pointed to a corner outside the house and said, “The broom is in the left corner!”

Gong Tianhao, “…” The rural people used plants to make brooms. They used sorghum rods, bamboo branches, and so on. They were environmentally friendly and economically friendly. If they broke, the people could make another one.

However, there were two kinds of brooms. The bamboo brooms had softer reeds, so they were used to sweep the outdoors. The iron rods brooms were sturdier, and they were used indoors.

However, Gong Tianhao didn’t know these things. He walked to the corner and eliminated items like sickles, shovels, and woodcutters. There were two brooms left. He picked up the larger one and entered the house.

Xiao Lingyu, “…” That’s a bamboo broom. It won’t even move the debris on the floor.

Xiao Lingyu said, “Young Master Gong, this one is used to sweep the courtyard. You need the smaller one.”

Gong Tianhao, “…” He thought the larger, the better.

Yan Siming immediately sneered and said, “Mr. Gong, if you don’t know these things, you should just ask. Why do you have to be so arrogant? Don’t you feel…” ashamed? He didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone knew his meaning.

Gong Tianhao glared at him with his sharp eyes and didn’t say anything. He just silently swapped the brooms. Then, he started cleaning.

Clang! Because he hadn’t done any housework before, he didn’t know how to control his force. The iron rods of the broom sent the porcelain pieces flying. They shattered against the wall into smaller pieces. It was like he was playing hockey than cleaning.

Gong Tianhao, “…”

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

Yan Siming, “…”

Gong Tianhao couldn’t be blamed. He always had someone to do these things for him.

Yan Siming laughed. “I say, Mr. Gong, what are you doing? Aren’t you supposed to be cleaning up? But you’re making more trash instead.”

Gong Tianhao ignored Yan Siming’s mockery. He lowered his head again and studied the broom.

Xiao Lingyu was moved for a moment when she saw how serious Gong Tianhao was. The young master was actually seriously studying the broom. He did this because she wouldn’t have to step on the glass shards accidentally.

She wondered if she was the only woman who had received such treatment from him. Then, she immediately shook her head to clear her thoughts.

Xiao Lingyu took a deep breath and pointed out, “Young Master Gong, you used too much strength just now.”

Gong Tianhao’s eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at Xiao Lingyu with starry eyes. He was like a child who had received encouragement.

He reminded her so much of…

Xiao Lingyu rubbed her eyes. When she looked up, Gong Tianhao was back to sweeping the floor.

Dang!

The ceramic dust once again filled the sky!

Xiao Lingyu inhaled the dust and could not help but cough.

Yan Siming heard this and immediately walked over. He ignored the pieces on the ground. He patted her back and asked with concern, “Lingyu, are you okay?”

Then, he turned to Gong Tianhao, “Mr. Gong, if you don’t know how to sweep the floor, then don’t do it. Look at the dust that covered the entire room. Lingyu is choking on it.”

Gong Tianhao looked at Xiao Lingyu, who was coughing violently, and his brows furrowed tightly. Then, he placed the broom on the floor and walked over.

Yan Siming was shocked and asked, “What are you doing?”

Gong Tianhao bent down and carried Xiao Lingyu in a princess hug.

“Ah!” Xiao Lingyu’s feet suddenly left the ground, and she immediately hugged Gong Tianhao’s neck.

Yan Siming was stunned, and then he was annoyed.

Why didn’t he think of this before?

Gong Tianhao had gained close contact with her. Carrying her, Gong Tianhao strode out. Xiao Lingyu raised her head and saw Gong Tianhao’s slender neck, the perfect curve of his side profile, his sharp and strong facial features, and his dark and mysterious eyes.

This man was too perfect.

Not only was this man powerful and rich, but he was also handsome and had a slender figure.

Xiao Lingyu did not dare to imagine that this kind of man actually came to Taoyuan Village to pursue her.

Gong Tianhao carried her out and placed her on the recliner. Then, he poured Xiao Lingyu a glass of water and handed it to Xiao Lingyu. He said softly, “Drink some water and rinse your mouth! There was dust in your mouth just now.”

Xiao Lingyu took the glass, “Thank you!”

Yan Siming walked up to her and immediately complained, “Lingyu, he did it on purpose, didn’t he? He just wanted to take advantage of you.”

“…” Gong Tianhao said indifferently, “Then why didn’t you offer to sweep the floor? You could have gotten the chance to hug her too.”

Yan Siming, “…”

Yan Siming was always eloquent, but when he faced Gong Tianhao, he was rebuked until he was speechless.

Xiao Lingyu blushed. Why were they talking like this when she was right there? Did they even consider her feelings?

Xiao Lingyu said, “Brother Yan, you said before that Young Master Gong is the boss of a big business. He has maids and nannies at home, so it’s normal that he doesn’t know how to clean.”

When Gong Tianhao heard this, the corners of his lips curled up, and he looked very happy. Then, he looked at Yan Siming and said, “From what Chairman Yan said, he should know how to clean the floor. Then, please clean up the house.”

Yan Siming was dumbfounded.

He also had many servants and nannies since he was young. He had not done any housework either. Therefore, he also didn’t know how to clean.

However, he had just mocked Gong Tianhao. If he told them he also didn’t know how to use the broom, he would be teased by Gong Tianhao. But, if he went in to clean, he would make the same mistake as Gong Tianhao. Gong Tianhao would tease him too.

Yan Siming was at a loss. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Gong Tianhao’s sharp eyes stared at Yan Siming. The corner of his lips curled up again. However, this time, the curve was just a taunt.

Yan Siming had taunted him several times and ruined his image in front of Xiao Lingyu. He was taking revenge.

At that moment, footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Yan Siming looked outside and saw that Mother Xiao and Father Xiao had returned. He turned around and went back into the house to pick up the broom.

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao walked into the courtyard. They were shocked to see Gong Tianhao.

“Young Master Gong, why are you here?” Mother Xiao asked with a smile.

She and Father Xiao heard from Xiao Xiaohui that Yan Siming had arrived at Taoyuan Village.

Yan Siming was a great benefactor who had helped their family. Therefore, they purposely came back to receive him. However, they didn’t expect to run into Gong Tianhao.

Gong Tianhao was also the Xiao family’s benefactor. He had once saved Xiao Lingyu’s life and was also the benefactor of the Taoyuan Village. They couldn’t neglect him either.

“Uncle, Auntie!” Gong Tianhao called out politely.

Mother Xiao smiled and said, “Young Master Gong, just sit in this courtyard for a while. I’ll prepare some food. Dear, you should accompany Young Master Gong.”

However, she suddenly remembered. “Right, where’s Mr. Yan?” Mother Xiao asked. Then, she heard a man’s cough coming from inside the house.

Mother Xiao immediately noticed Yan Siming and walked over.

She saw Yan Siming covering his mouth and coughing non-stop. He was holding a broom in his hand. Then, she noticed the debris on the ground.

Mother Xiao immediately asked with concern, “Mr. Yan, are you okay? You’re a guest. How can I let you clean the house? Go and rest!”

Yan Siming coughed until his face was a little red. He said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Auntie. I wanted to help clean up so that Lingyu wouldn’t be injured. I didn’t expect that such a simple task would be so difficult to do.”

Mother Xiao smiled kindly, “Mr. Yan, you’re so considerate. But you shouldn’t be doing things like this. You should go outside and chat with them. Leave this to me.”

Yan Siming was obviously a little embarrassed as he said, “Auntie, why don’t I finish sweeping the floor first?”

 Mother Xiao smiled and said, “I’m afraid you’re only giving me more jobs by doing that! Auntie is a quick worker. Don’t worry about me. Plus, as I said, you’re a guest. How can I ask you to work for me?”

Mother Xiao gently pushed Yan Siming out.

Mother Xiao smiled and thought to herself, ‘This young master Yan is really a good man.’

After Gong Tianhao greeted Father Xiao, he looked up and saw Yan Siming walking out of the house with a smug look on his face. At the same time, he also noticed the approving look on Mother Xiao’s face. Gong Tianhao’s hand that held the teacup tightened.

He had really underestimated Yan Siming. The man was real cunning.

Yan Siming greeted father Xiao, “Uncle!” Then he said, “Uncle, it’s only been a while, but you look better. You look much younger than before. Uncle, how have you been?”

Yan Siming was telling the truth.

When Yan Siming saw Father Xiao last, he was injured.

Father Xiao smiled and said, “Thanks to you, Mr. Yan, I was able to receive treatment in time.”

Yan Siming nodded with a smile and said, “That’s good. I’ve been busy these days and haven’t had the chance to visit you and Auntie.”

“You’re too kind, Mr. Yan. Our family will always remember your kindness.” Father Xiao smiled and said, “Without you, a bigger tragedy would have befallen this family.”

Yan Siming smiled and said, “Uncle, you are too kind. Lingyu and I are friends. I couldn’t just stand by and watch her family gets bullied.”

“Mr. Yan is so nice!” Mother Xiao already brought out a few teacups and filled them with tea. Then, she continued to praise him, “Mr. Yan is handsome. He is also a good person. He has a kind heart too. He is a very good man.”

Gong Tianhao’s eyes darkened when he heard Mother Xiao and Father Xiao shower the praises on Yan Siming.

He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, “That’s right. Mr. Yan is indeed a very good man. The women know that too. I heard that the socialites in City Z are proud to have slept with Mr. Yan.”

Ouch! Now, that was a below-the-belt hit!
