Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

"You're welcome, young lady." The man thanked her gently, his voice soft and warm like the breeze under the warm spring sun.

Tao Jiuxi turned around and saw that the child was now pale with fear, his small body curled up into a ball and trembling.

She immediately squatted down, her eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, this bad guy can't hurt you."

"Sister, he..." The older child frowned, fear still lingering in his eyes. He hesitated and said, "Thank you for today, sister. We will leave first."

Then he held the younger child's hand tightly and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi quickly took out a few more cakes from the box, handed them over and said, "Take this."

At this time, the greasy man lying on the ground was groaning in pain and struggling to get up from the ground.

"Still want to leave? None of you can leave."

Just as he finished speaking, the greasy man was kicked hard on the butt again, accompanied by an angry shout: "Shut up."

The child took the cake and ran away like a frightened deer.

Tao Jiuxi didn't turn around until the children disappeared into the distant alley. He said to the greasy man on the ground, "You're old, but you're not doing your job and are bullying children and women on the street? This slap today will teach you a lesson. If I see you like this again next time, I will definitely break your hand."

"You...you have to compensate me..." The greasy man struggled to get up, but the handsome man standing next to him pressed his head hard with the scabbard, and he couldn't move at all.

"You are not worthy of ten taels, so I'll give you one tael. Don't let me see you again in the future." Tao Jiuxi took out one tael of silver from his purse and threw it on the ground.

Looking at the greasy man who was still being pinned down, Tao Jiuxi said to the man opposite: "Sir, let him go."

The man in moon-white clothes finally let go of his hand. The greasy man knew that his fighting power was far inferior to that of the person in front of him and he would definitely not be able to win. He immediately picked up the silver coins on the ground and was about to turn around to take another look at the girl who bullied him. As soon as he turned around, the hilt of the sword, which was shining with cold light, immediately appeared in front of him. He was so scared that he could only run away in shame.

Seeing the people running away, the man in moon-white clothes also prepared to leave.

"Sir, thank you very much today. Please wait for me here for a moment." Tao Jiuxi said to the man with a smile and sincere eyes.

The man nodded slightly. Although he didn't know what Tao Jiuxi was going to do, he still waited there as he was told.

Tao Jiuxi turned around and hurried into the store. After a while, she came out with a box of snacks in her hands. This was a box of "Zuiqingfeng" that she had carefully selected in the store.

"Sir, this is the snack from our store. The taste is quite unique. I hope you don't mind it." Tao Jiuxi handed over the snack with both hands, his eyes full of gratitude.

The man in the moon-white shirt did not refuse, but directly extended his hand to take it, nodded and said, "Thank you, young lady, it's thoughtful of you."

Then he bowed and said, "Goodbye."

Tao Jiuxi also smiled and nodded in response: "Goodbye."

Then he turned around and walked back to the store with light steps.

Tao Jiuxi stayed in the store until noon. Seeing that the time had come, she called the waiters to go to Wangyue Tower for dinner.

Everyone enjoyed a sumptuous meal in Wangyue Tower. After eating and drinking, Tao Jiuxi enthusiastically joined Li Dachun in the research and development of new products.

After a busy period, she left the store satisfied.

When she left, she did not forget to buy some delicious food from Wangyue Tower. She hummed a little song along the way and went home happily.

She really likes this kind of leisurely and comfortable life, sitting and counting money.

She felt that feeling of satisfaction was sweeter than kissing Shen Zhiyi's mouth.

Hey, Shen Zhiyi's mouth...

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she hadn't kissed Shen Zhiyi on the mouth for two days. She couldn't help smacking her lips, and she actually missed that sweet feeling in her heart.

She shook her head gently, a shy and happy blush on her face, and continued walking towards home, as if everything around her became more vivid because of this good mood.

When Tao Jiuxi returned home, he just walked around the screen wall in the yard and saw maids and servants busy coming and going in front of the main hall.

She was delighted, thinking that her father must have left the court.

Tao Jiuxi happily carried his things and ran to the hall. Before he even arrived, the cheerful voice came in first: "Sister, father, I'm back!"

Seeing her come back with something in her hand, the maid immediately stepped forward to take it: "Miss, let this servant come."

"I'll get it myself."

Tao Jiuxi quickly refused, thinking to himself, this was something I packed specially for my sister, so of course I have to present the treasure myself.

When she skipped into the hall, she found that there were not only her father and sister in the hall, but also someone else.

Isn’t this the person who helped her outside today?

Seeing the man in front of him, Tao Jiuxi was obviously stunned and full of surprise.

When the man in moon-white clothes saw that the person coming was Tao Jiuxi, his eyes immediately lit up, as if there was a light flashing in them.

Tao Jiuxi was stunned for a moment, then he said to Tao Hongyuanxing with standard etiquette: "Father, may you be well."

Then, he immediately moved towards Tao Qingwan.

She called softly, "Sister, I brought this for you."

Then he gave the food he had packed from outside to Tao Qingwan.

When Tao Qingwan saw her sister, an ambiguous emotion flashed in her eyes.

Before Tao Jiuxi could understand the meaning in her sister's eyes, she heard Tao Hongyuan ask, "Where did you go?"

Tao Jiuxi replied, "I'm hungry... I'm going to the street to buy some food."

After hearing this, Tao Hongyuan's expression froze for a moment. He might have just asked casually, but he didn't expect Tao Jiuxi to answer so directly.

At this moment, the man in white raised the corner of his mouth slightly, outlining a faint smile, as if he was infected by Tao Jiuxi's innocence and liveliness.

Tao Hongyuan coughed awkwardly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere at the moment, and then he said to the man, "Qingyi, this is your second cousin, Xier."

Hearing this name, Tao Jiuxi couldn't help but be shocked.

"Qingyi? Ji Qingyi?"

As she muttered this name, all sorts of information about it flashed through her mind. Could he be her rumored fiancé who had fallen from the sky?

Tao Jiuxi's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.

She never imagined that the man she met by chance outside today and who helped her was actually the one she was engaged to.

This world is really small, so small that she can encounter such a coincidence.
