They were talking about how many times Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan had held hands.

When they first met, Lin Yuelan looked like she was only eight years old. In addition, Lin Yuelan always called them uncle, so they didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with this child holding their boss’ hand.

However, when they met again two months later, they found out that this child was not eight years old at all but twelve.

Eight and twelve were very different. Girls could be engaged and married at the age of twelve.

Therefore, when they saw Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan coming back hand in hand last night, they were shocked!

They looked like a pair of lovers. However, the main characters were not aware of it. They had gone out hand in hand again. What was this?

Little Six looked at the departing couple and said worriedly, “Brother Bing, what’s with Boss and Miss Lin?” He wanted to say that they looked like a couple of lovers. But he couldn’t state that openly because it was related to a girl’s reputation and integrity.

A man and a woman who were not husband and wife or lovers were holding hands in public. What kind of image would that give others? In some more conservative villages, the woman would be drowned. She had acted like a shameless and lecherous woman.

In fact, the whole Long Yan Kingdom would think that way. Lin Yuelan was the only exception because she came from the future.

Guo Bing’s hand smacked the back of Little Six’s head, and then he said very seriously, “the boss and miss Lin are just pure friends, do you understand?” They couldn’t just say anything they wanted.

No matter what the reason was, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were holding hands. Both of them were single, but neither seemed to want to bring the relationship further. Therefore, they could only be ordinary friends.

Actually, the soldiers realized that their boss had changed a lot since he met Lin Yuelan. In the past, he would not say a word for a whole month, but now he could chat and joke with Lin Yuelan. Even though they could not see his face, they swore they could sense the smile behind his mask.

…

Jiang Zhennan’s eyes under the mask stared at holding hands. When they approached the village, he noticed some villagers pointing at them from a distance. He immediately realized what was wrong. He treated Lin Yuelan as a friend, but she was ultimately a woman. She was already twelve. She had reached the marriageable age.

It was not right for them to hold hands in broad daylight. It would not be good for the girl’s reputation. In the future, how would she get married then?

When Jiang Zhennan thought of this, he immediately shook off Lin Yuelan’s hand in shock.

Lin Yuelan was walking ahead when Jiang Zhennan suddenly shook her hand off. She stopped in her tracks and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Staring at Lin Yuelan’s clear and innocent eyes, Jiang Zhennan’s heart was filled with shame and bitterness.

He actually liked it when Lin Yuelan held his hand, but he couldn’t be so selfish as to harm her. Therefore, he had to let go of her hand for her own good.

He shook his head and said, “nothing.”

Lin Yuelan didn’t think too much about it. She only shrugged and continued walking forward. However, her footsteps were obviously not as light as before.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the village chief’s house.

Lin Yuelan stood there and shouted, “Grandpa village chief, are you home?”

With a creak, the door to the courtyard opened. Then, a child of three or four years old popped his head out. His white and chubby face was very cute.

He tilted his head and asked in a childish voice, “who is it? Who’s looking for my grandfather?”

This child was Lin Yiwei’s youngest grandson, and Lin Yiwei usually doted on him.

Lin Yuelan bent over and smiled at the child. “Ranran, it’s sister Lan. Is your Grandpa home?” As she spoke, she took out a small toy from her arms and handed it to him.”Here, this is for Ranran!”

The child was too innocent to know about Lin Yuelan and her jinx identity. Therefore, he didn’t reject her. When he saw the little toy in Lin Yuelan’s hand, he immediately ran out of the door. He took the toy and said, “Thank… thank you, Sister Lan.”

Lin Yuelan touched his head and asked, “Ranran, tell sister Lan, where’s your grandfather?”

Lin Xuran lifted his little head, and a worried look appeared on his little face as he said, “little uncle, pain pain. Grandpa is taking care of him!”

‘Little uncle, pain pain? What does that mean? Does Lin Mingqing have other injuries other than the broken spine?’

Lin Yuelan was a little worried when she heard this. She asked again, “then, Ranran, can you take sister Lan to see grandfather?”

The child nodded at first, then shook his head. He frowned and said, “little uncle… no, no!”

What he meant was that Lin Mingqing did not want anyone to see him. He didn’t want anyone to see him in this deplorable state.

Lin Yuelan felt a sour feeling in her heart. She was suddenly filled with indignation and anger.

Lin Laosan’s family was atrocious. Simply because Lin Mingqing stopped them from killing her, they were cruel enough to take revenge on Lin Mingqing.

It was really too detestable.

‘Just wait and see. I’ll definitely pay you back double for what you’ve done in the past.”

Lin Yuelan patted the boy’s little head and said very gently, “Ranran, don’t worry. Your little uncle will definitely see sister Lan. ”

The child didn’t think much of it. His big eyes were suspicious as he asked, “really?”

“Yes, it’s true,” Lin Yuelan nodded and promised.

Lin Xuran brought Lin Yuelan into the house and to one of the rooms.

When Lin Yuelan opened the door and saw the scene inside, she was extremely shocked!
