After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 169: Being a person with your tail between your legs

Once on the street, Baili Ce's appetite was immediately satisfied.

A bowl of fruit wine after a meal makes the whole world seem beautiful.

Most unexpectedly, only half a month after the war, Lincheng presented a scene of prosperity in all industries.

Everyone who met her was excessively "polite".

"Greetings, Madam Wang."

"Madam Wang, please choose whatever you like."

“Madam Wang, look at this one, she’s such a perfect match for you.”

......

Everyone she met on the street and every shop she visited knew her, and they were all filled with trepidation.

As we were strolling around, a couple came running towards us, chasing after a little girl. "Slow down, little girl!"

"Don't run so fast..."

"Chuckles..."

"careful!"

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry..."

"Madam Wang, the child is just being silly, please don't be angry."

"Yeah yeah......"

They were so afraid that even when she bent down to pick up a child who had fallen to the ground, the parents would hurriedly kowtow and apologize.

What mistake are you admitting?

The child didn't bump into her at all.

"..." Bai Li Ce's hand, which he had instinctively reached out to help them, stopped in mid-air.

Beside him stood Wang Qingyan, who remained silent.

Before them stood a couple huddled together, tightly clutching their daughter, trembling with fear.

She arrogantly pulled Wang Qingyan away, not giving the family another second glance.

Holding her hand tightly, he wasn't in a hurry to go back. "Shall we go guess some riddles?"

"I've never had much patience for this, so I'd better not go."

"How about that clothing store? Want to check it out? Their workmanship is pretty good."

"No need. I haven't even worn many of the clothes you prepared for me yet. Although we're not short of money, we should still try to save money wherever we can."

"How about that shop that sells gold, jade, and precious stones? Let's go check it out."

"Really, you don't need to. You've prepared enough for me."

"Well...would you like some jujube paste cake or something? I'll go buy some."

He shook his head and gently patted his stomach. "I ate too much just now. Maybe next time."

"..." As Baili Ce was walking forward, he suddenly felt a backward pulling force.

"What do you want from me so I won't be angry?" Wang Qingyan stopped.

He casually brushed it off, saying, "I'm not angry."

Not angry? Of course he could tell.

Wang Qingyan's brows furrowed with anger. "You've been angry with me for so long over killing one person. If I killed them all, you probably wouldn't be angry anymore."

A hundred million people?!

For the first time, she felt that calling someone inhuman was actually a compliment.

But seeing that they were about to start arguing again in the street, Baili Ce had no choice but to confess, "Is it possible that I'm not angry?"

Wang Qingyan frowned slightly. "Then who are you?"

"Keep your head down and behave yourself."

"..."

......

She pulled Wang Qingyan towards a less crowded area. She wasn't angry or annoyed, and she patiently answered every question Wang Qingyan asked.

She would occasionally turn back to look at him, lean against him, buy him little trinkets, and chat with him about funny things from her childhood.

In that case, he probably won't... what the hell does he want from me?!

It's true that enduring a moment of anger can lead to chest tightness and shortness of breath!

Taking a step back will lead to total defeat!

Those colonists who crossed the ocean back then didn't meet Wang Qingyan; otherwise, she wouldn't be where she is today.

"Want to play that ring toss game at that stall? I remember you really liked it."

Um...would it be inappropriate to refuse again?

But why set up a stall by the river?

Aren't you afraid of not getting any business?

What if you fall into the river while playing the ring toss?

Aren’t you cold?

Oh, the boss is blind. That's alright then.

"Okay, but let's make this clear first: I want to put it on myself, and you're not allowed to help me."

"it is good"

After writing this rather indulgent "good" character, Wang Qingyan directly took out two five-tael silver ingots and threw them into the basket next to the shopkeeper's feet.

Following the sound, the shopkeeper picked up the silver coins, weighed them in his hand, and then pushed out the basket behind him that held the ring toss game. "You two can play for as long as you like."

"so much?!"

"You're looking down on me!"

"How could I not easily win a simple ring toss game like this?"

Just treat him like that bastard Wang Qingyan!

Receiving a glare from Baili Ce, Wang Qingyan helplessly helped her roll up her sleeves and tie them up, saying, "Your feigned affection doesn't even last a moment."

Hmm... Ignoring everything else, I started the ring toss game.

Half an hour later.

A little annoyed, but not discouraged, "Why didn't I win any... It's okay, I can do it."

A quarter of an hour later.

"Ughhhhh... Why did I fail again?!" She was so angry that she started jumping up and down.

Two quarters of an hour later.

The cloak had already been taken off and given to Wang Qingyan, who then began to complain loudly, "Seriously, this river wind is really working against me today, blowing non-stop and affecting my aim, it's so annoying!"

"And you, standing right next to me, are ruining my luck. Move away, and stop staring at me..."

An hour later.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!" He threw things around in a fit of rage.

Two hours later.

The blind shop owner strained his back from picking up rings for her too frequently, so he had to close up shop early.

He returned home in a huff, and Baili Ce was still angry during dinner.

While eating, she kept muttering to herself, "Ugh, why, why, why didn't I win any of them...?"

He kept muttering to himself until midnight, keeping Wang Qingyan awake as well.

"Alright, stop being angry. I'll go kill that blind man right now."

After saying that, he threw off the covers and got out of bed.

Is this a big deal? !

Bai Lize quickly rushed over and pressed him down, "No, it's not necessary."

Wang Qingyan took a deep breath... thinking that she had finally agreed to go out, so he would listen to her this time, "Let's go to sleep then."

I had just changed my position when I hugged her, when I heard—

"...But I'm so angry I can't sleep."

"Why didn't I get a single one?"

"Ugh... I'm such a loser."

Wang Qingyan immediately hugged her tighter, "You're not useless..."

However, Baili Ce wasn't listening at all, thinking, "Why am I so useless?"

"Do you think there's something wrong with his ring toss game?"

"They deliberately prevented me from winning, just to scam me out of my money."

He wouldn't even pick up that little bit of money if it were lying on the ground. What good would he do with it if he swindled it?

"But that's unlikely, they're a small business, they wouldn't do that."

Helpless, he remained silent... He kissed her and said, "Sweetie, get some rest."

"All right......"

Phew... Wang Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before two breaths had passed, "That's right, I understand!"

"..."

"It must be that spot by the river that's bad! It's gloomy, so it's affecting my feng shui. And you've been standing next to me all day, so you've probably been blocking my luck..."

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not really blaming you. Don't be so petty. I was just saying it casually. Don't take it to heart."

"But why didn't I win...?"

Wang Qingyan, whose head was throbbing from the noise, suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Come on! Wake up, let's go kill him together!"
