Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 432 Xu Damao's Private Collection

That night, the moonlight was hazy and the courtyard was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, which made it look particularly mysterious. Xu Damao took advantage of the night and quietly returned to the courtyard like a ghost.

He walked lightly, trying not to make any noise, for fear of alarming other people in the yard.

He arrived at his door and reached out to push it, only to find that it was firmly locked from the inside.

At this moment, Xu Damao's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, almost dripping with water. His eyes were fixed on the tightly closed door, with a fierce and complex light flashing in his eyes, showing both unwillingness and anger.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and then increased the force of his push on the door, trying to move in a way that would open the door without making too much noise.

He clenched his hands on the door frame, his muscles tense, and all his strength was concentrated in his arms. Every time he exerted force, there was a low muffled sound, but he tried his best to control it so that the sound would not spread to other corners of the yard.

At the same time, Qin Jingru, who was in the house, was still feeling uneasy because of the dispute with Xu Damao at noon and his sudden disappearance in the evening.

She tossed and turned in bed, the unpleasant images replaying in her mind, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

At this moment, the sudden sound of the door being pushed open was like thunder, causing her to sit up from the bed instantly, her heart filled with fear and anxiety.

She thought a thief had come in, so she quickly grabbed a rolling pin from the corner beside the bed, clenched her hands, her palms slightly sweaty, and walked nervously towards the door.

She walked to the door, gently opened it a crack, and asked tremblingly, "Who is it?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

Outside the door, Xu Damao heard Qin Jingru's voice, and his anger subsided a little, but there was still some impatience in his tone: "It's me, open the door quickly."

When Qin Jingru heard Xu Damao's voice, the fear in her heart instantly dissipated. She quickly put the rolling pin on the table beside her, with a hint of relief and ease in her movements.

She walked quickly to the light switch and pulled it gently. The room suddenly became bright. She walked to the door and said to Xu Damao, "Wait a moment. I'll open the door for you."

The door slowly opened, and Qin Jingru stood at the door, looking at Xu Damao's gloomy face, feeling a little uneasy. But she still tried to force a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere: "You're back? Why are you so late?"

Xu Damao's eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. He glanced at Qin Jingru coldly, his eyes full of impatience and disgust.

Qin Jingru's heart tightened when she was looked at by him, but she still mustered up her courage and helped move the heavy cabinet while asking carefully: "Da Mao, what are you going to do suddenly by moving the cabinet?" There was a hint of confusion and worry in her voice.

Xu Damao didn't turn around, but just replied briefly and rudely: "Shut up!"

His tone was full of unquestionable authority, which instantly silenced Qin Jingru. She knew Xu Damao's temper very well, so she could only continue to help silently without saying anything more.

After some effort, the cabinet was finally moved aside. Xu Damao showed a satisfied smile on his face, which was mixed with pride and calculation.

He squatted down, and quickly and skillfully lifted a corner of the carpet, revealing a hidden hole. He reached in, fumbled for a while, and then took out a delicate little iron box.

Qin Jingru moved forward curiously, wanting to see what was going on. But as soon as she moved, Xu Damao pushed her away with such force that she almost fell to the ground. She looked at Xu Damao in surprise, her eyes full of grievance and confusion.

"Don't talk too much!" Xu Damao warned coldly, his eyes full of vigilance and tension. He carefully opened the lock of the iron box, fearing that it would make any noise.

As the iron box slowly opened, a beam of golden light came into Qin Jingru's eyes. She was surprised to find that the iron box was filled with glittering gold bars and some thick banknotes.

Xu Damao stroked the gold bars and banknotes, then he looked up at Qin Jingru. A sharp warning flashed in his deep eyes, like a sharp blade that cut through the tranquility of the night.

However, Qin Jingru's mind at this moment was completely attracted by the box full of gold bars and banknotes. Her eyes were shining with irrepressible joy and curiosity, as if the whole world was left with only these glittering treasures.

Therefore, she didn't notice Xu Damao's warning look at all.
