Chapter 296 How Could They Not Be Enemies?

"Saying things like that makes it sound like you're really reluctant to part with me," Xiao Ran joked.

"If I said I couldn't bear to part with it, the young lady wouldn't believe me."

Xiao Ran suddenly stopped as her feet stomped on the bluestone slabs, producing a series of crisp sounds.

"I hope we won't be enemies next time we meet."

Afu was stunned, and only slowly came to his senses after seeing the girl's departing figure.

After a long silence, he murmured:

"How could they not be enemies..."

……

After returning to Luoli Garden, Xiao Ran went straight into the house.

Chun Tao originally wanted to ask what had happened today, why Ling Pozi was allowed to come into the courtyard to do things.

Seeing that Xiao Ran seemed to be in a bad mood, my worry overcame my doubts.

Fortunately, not long after, Xiao Ran's voice came from inside the house.

"Chuntao, you and Xiahe come in for a moment."

When Chuntao and Xiahe entered the house, they were given two large makeup boxes.

"This is the dowry I've prepared for you. It includes some money and valuables, enough for you to live on for a lifetime. If you feel it's not enough, you can take my money exchange token and get some more..."

Upon hearing this, Chuntao and Xiahe were both shocked. They looked at each other and then knelt down in a daze.

Chun Tao spoke first, her voice still trembling with tears.

"Girl! We don't want to get married, we just want to stay by your side forever!"

"Yes, young lady, why is that? We are willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of our lives, please don't send us away..."

Chuntao suddenly remembered Granny Ling who had come to the courtyard today and asked, "Does it mean that you don't like us anymore, and prefer someone like Granny Ling? Chuntao is willing to change, even to work under Granny Ling, as long as you don't kick us out..."

Seeing the two maids crying their eyes out, Xiao Ran couldn't help but rub her forehead.

“What are you thinking? I will be going to the frontier with my father soon. It’s dangerous there, and you don’t have any martial arts skills to protect you. You might as well stay in the capital, but…”

“While I’m gone, the He family mother and daughter will not let you get away with this.”

This time, Xia He unusually pulled Chun Tao back before she could speak.

“Young lady, I am not afraid of death! I have long since lost all my family. Chun Tao still has her mother in the capital who needs care. I have no relatives, so you are my family. I am willing to go with you!”

Chun Tao retorted, "You've lost all your family, you should cherish your life even more! Please take me there, young lady! My mother, my mother... knows how much you've done for me, she won't say anything."

After a long pause, Xiao Ran sighed, "But I don't want you to die."

Chun Tao's soft sobs drifted in, making the atmosphere in the room even more sorrowful.

"This time, you'll all listen to me, okay? Last time your girls returned safely from the summer resort, so this time it won't be any different."

The two maids continued to cry. Xiao Ran shook her head helplessly, then got up and hugged them.

"I promise you will see a complete and whole Miss Xiao."

Chun Tao sniffed: "Miss, you keep your word..."

Xia He wiped her cheeks, her gaze firm: "Don't worry, Miss, Chun Tao and I will take good care of ourselves."

"You all need to take good care of yourselves too..."

In her past life, the deaths of Chuntao and Xiahe haunted her like a nightmare. If it weren't for the emergency, she wouldn't have wanted to be separated from Chuntao and Xiahe.

But something even more important... was waiting for her.

Things from past lives happening in advance are inherently unpredictable.
