Chapter 27
Who Was She
Su Fengmao’s eyes were rimmed-red as he begged Su Binglan in a pleading tone. ‘Why does Su Binglan insist on going behind the mountain?’
Su Binglan understood her father’s feelings. Su Fengmao was afraid something would happen to his daughter. It was a kind of care—fatherly love.
Su Binglan couldn’t bear to break her father’s heart, but she had to go back there.
According to her predecessor’s memories, she could find many things at the back of the mountain. It could be an opportunity for Su Binglan to make a fortune.
She felt that behind the mountain was a treasure trove. There would be many things that most people in this era wouldn’t find, but if Su Binglan found them, she could turn those things into delicacies.
Su Binglan thought before saying, “Father, you’re injured, so you can’t go behind the mountain. How about I get Jin’an and ask him to accompany you. Is that okay?”
Su Fengmao wanted to insist. But seeing his daughter’s determined look, he could only compromise. He knew his daughter was stubborn and would do anything she put her mind to.
Su Binglan could only nod and say, “All right. I’ll get Jin’an to accompany me to the back of the mountain.”
“Let’s go to the fields together. I’ll ask Jin’an to protect you.”
Hearing this, the corner of Su Binglan’s mouth twitched. She only agreed to try to comfort Su Fengmao and wasn’t going to ask Luo Jin’an to accompany her behind the mountain.
She had planned to sneak her way behind the mountain independently and tell Luo Jin’an to cover for her. She hadn’t expected her father to be so insistent.
“All right.” Su Binglan felt helpless.
Su Fengmao and Su Binglan went to the field to look for Luo Jin’an. He was busy in the field and was surprised to see Su Fengmao and Su Binglan approaching.
Of course, Luo Jin’an paid attention to the details. He noticed Su Binglan had supported Su Fengmao along the way. She carefully supported her father so he would have an easier time walking.
Luo Jin’an had never seen the caring side of Su Binglan before. Su Binglan had only cared about herself in the past and had never cared about her parents’ feelings. However, she was now supporting her father so carefully.
Luo Jin’an recalled seeing Su Binglan piggybacking Shen Qiuhua in the afternoon. Su Binglan looked glowing, and Luo Jin’an could hardly look away.
‘How could a person have two different personalities? Could a person change this much after almost drowning?’
Moreover, Su Binglan’s personality and the look in her eyes had changed completely. Even her preferences had changed.
How could a country girl like Su Binglan make such delicious food? Even the famous chefs couldn’t prepare such dishes. Who was she?
After pondering Su Binglan’s identity, Luo Jin’an thought of a possibility. His expression turned dark and gloomy, carrying an extreme sense of danger.
But when Su Binglan came closer, Luo Jin’an lowered his head and hid his emotions. No one noticed anything strange.
Su Binglan didn’t notice anything wrong with Luo Jin’an. She constantly looked down, fretting over Su Fengmao’s injured leg.
“Father, I told you I could carry you, so why didn’t you let me. Your leg must hurt from all that walking, right?”
Su Fengmao looked at his daughter’s gentle gaze and felt a warmth in his heart. He could barely feel the pain. Besides, how could he let his daughter carry him? What if she got tired?
Su Fengmao said with a smile, “It doesn’t hurt. How could I let you carry me? Don’t worry. I feel great since I can still work. As long as I’m still around, I’ll do my best to give you a better life.”
