Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2633: Chapter 2569: Too Many Schemes

”Xiao Sixth, I think my foot really is sprained.” Lu Shuangshuang frowned, her eyes reddening.

”Is there anyone here? Maybe we can find some medicine.”

”The Senior Masters should be around. Could you let them go and look for the Senior Master? Ask if she has any medicine.”

”You go.” Jiang Liu pointed at one of the men, sending him to find a Senior Master in the temple for some liniment for a sprain.

”I think their presence is a bit too imposing. If they go looking for the Senior Master, I’m afraid they might scare her. Why not let this young man go instead? This young man looks more gentle.” Lu Shuangshuang nodded slightly at Sun Han, and said, a bit embarrassed, ”Sorry to trouble you, young man.”

Sun Han remained standing, not moving.

”Sorry to trouble you, young man. Please go find the Senior Master and get me some medicine.”

Lu Shuangshuang repeated herself.

”He’s been following me the whole time. Just let Xiao Zhou go get it. If you really mind, you can have your own people go.” Jiang Shiheng said.

Lu Shuangshuang’s little ploy was far too shallow; it wasn’t that one couldn’t see through it.

Wasn’t she just trying to send Sun Han away?

Sun Han understood perfectly well, so he simply didn’t react. Anyway, he only listened to Xiao Chiang. Xiao Chiang had told him that no matter what happened, he must not leave Sixth Young Master Jiang’s side, that he had to stay by him. So unless Xiao Chiang came in person, no one could make him leave Sixth Young Master Jiang by even half a step.

But in Jiang Shiheng’s eyes, the fact that Lu Shuangshuang would expose such intentions might well be deliberate.

She often played weak in front of him and Old Master Jiang, revealing a bit of her petty scheming, making them feel that her mind was simple and could be seen through at a glance.

A woman like this had too many thoughts, too many tricks.

She’d gone somewhat off track; there might be many men who liked her type, with those little schemes that were easy for men to see through. Men would feel she was easier to control, and that women were supposed to be like this.

But he absolutely was not that kind of man.

Lu Shuangshuang looked at him with a hint of grievance.

”Xiao Sixth, you really are too cold to me now. It makes people think I’ve done something to wrong you. But all these years, apart from missing you and waiting for you, going to the temple once every month to burn incense and ask the Bodhisattva to protect you and keep you safe, I truly haven’t done anything else.”

Seeing that Jiang Shiheng’s expression was still indifferent, she lowered her head sadly and drew in a soft breath. ”And also, because today I only wanted to have a proper reunion with you at an old haunt and help you recover your memories, I came over here alone by boat. I didn’t bring anyone with me at all.”

”Oh?” Jiang Shiheng gave her a glance. ”I remember this little island is usually full of tourists. How come there isn’t a single person today?”

”Maybe they knew there would be a torrential downpour this afternoon?” Lu Shuangshuang looked outside at the sheets of heavy rain pouring down and said with some guilt, ”If I’d known, I should have asked too. Then we wouldn’t be stuck in this temple. But we can wait a bit longer; the rain might stop soon. Once it stops, we can go down to the beach for a walk.”

At this moment, the bodyguard called Xiao Zhou brought the liniment for the sprain and handed it to Lu Shuangshuang.

Lu Shuangshuang looked at Jiang Shiheng. ”Xiao Sixth, help me put it on.”

They couldn’t possibly let the bodyguard do it at a time like this, could they?

Jiang Shiheng looked at Xiao Zhou. ”You didn’t ask a Senior Master to come over and help?”

”The Senior Master will be here any moment.” As Xiao Zhou spoke, sure enough, a Senior Master walked out from the side corridor.

Lu Shuangshuang’s face darkened.
