Chapter 112 - Staying in Fragrant GardenChapter 112: Staying in Fragrant Garden
As it wasn’t official business time yet, Fragrant Garden was quite deserted at the moment.
What Kong Rui was worried about didn’t happen. She successfully entered the backyard to rest.
In the backyard, the brothel keeper had already ordered someone to prepare a suite for Chao Bai and the others.
The suite was in the form of one living room and two rooms, which was exactly what Kong Rui wanted.
After sending the overly solicitous brothel keeper away, Kong Rui gently closed the door.
Although this place was crowded, it was also a good place to obtain information.
Moreover, it wasn’t easy for those people to find her in the bustling city.
Chao Bai placed Tong Sheng on the soft couch at the side and said to Kong Rui, “What are your next plans?”

Chao Bai also walked to Kong Rui’s side. When he saw the bare trees and fallen leaves in the courtyard in front of him, he couldn’t help but frown. “It’s far inferior to Spirit Mountain!”
Hearing Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui smiled slightly, but she didn’t respond.
After a while, Chao Bai said again, “You said that you still have something to do after you came back. What are you going to do?”
“I want the Li family to pay the price!” As Kong Rui looked at the scenary in front of her, the image of the seven people nailed to the coffins appeared in her mind.
“And then?” Chao Bai continued to ask.
Kong Rui was silent.
She still had many things to do, but she didn’t plan to tell Chao Bai everything.
Keeping Chao Bai by her side was selfish. If Chao Bai found out that she still had so many things to do, he might leave her.
She didn’t know if it was because the days when Chao Bai was by her side made her feel attached to him, or if it was because she had been alone for too long that she started to enjoy this feeling of accompaniment.
In short, Kong Rui didn’t want to scare Chao Bai away like this.
Feeling guilty about her selfishness, Kong Rui lowered her head slightly.
Chao Bai didn’t rush her. He only stared at Kong Rui’s sad expression and said after a while, “I’ll always be with you!”
With that, Chao Bai placed his hand on Kong Rui’s shoulder gently.
At that moment, Kong Rui felt a sense of warmth pass from her shoulder to her heart.
She slowly turned to look at Chao Bai with gratitude in her eyes. “Thank you.”
Chao Bai couldn’t help but frown when he heard Kong Rui’s thanks. “Why are you thanking me?! You’re mine! We’ll always be together!”
For the first time, Kong Rui smiled upon hearing this. “Alright!”
It was almost evening when Tong Sheng woke up.
He looked at the room in front of him in a daze. He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn’t figure out why he had been transported to another place after sleeping. However, the decoration of this place looked familiar. He seemed to have seen it before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Tong Sheng sat up and rubbed his eyes, he heard someone talking outside.
He walked out and saw the two people who had saved him earlier sitting at the table in the central hall, drinking tea and chatting.
Tong Sheng walked to Kong Rui’s side and asked softly, “Sister, have we returned to Fragrant Garden?”
“You recognize it?” Kong Rui’s heart ached when she saw that Tong Sheng was much thinner than his peers.
“Can I call your mother over later?” Kong Rui asked softly.
When he heard Kong Rui say that she wanted to call his mother over, Tong Sheng’s eyes immediately lit up. “Really? Can I see my mother now?”
He had just woken up and didn’t dare to ask to find his mother, but he didn’t expect this pretty girl to take the initiative to bring his mother over.
Kong Rui stroked Tong Sheng’s head gently. “Sure! I’ll get your mother to bring you home later.”
Tong Sheng nodded heavily with a smile on his face.
After the lanterns were lit, Fragrant Garden gradually became lively.
Kong Rui asked the brothel keeper to bring Tong Sheng’s mother over.
She was a fair and good-looking woman. Her almond-shaped eyes made her slightly round face look even more charming. Her button nose and small mouth made her look only seventeen or eighteen years old.
