Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 970: No Regret

Butler Tian paid no attention to their presence. In his view, the Qiao Family failed to secure the deal because they failed to present a thorough analysis of its advantages and disadvantages. He doubted their inability to exert control over the situation.

Butler Tian had no time for idle talk. With cold and unwavering pride, he conveyed all the necessary information.

In conclusion, he spoke icily, “Surely, you understand this, don’t you? If not, you can forget about becoming the Primus. I can provide you with a more explicit explanation!”

“Mr. Primus, the path to success lies before you. With a single nod, you can ascend to the top and indulge in a life of luxury. Your family and clan will rise alongside you, evoking jealousy in all. It’s a privilege that others can only dream of. Mr. Primus, are you still hesitant?”

“You must carefully contemplate this. It marks a significant divergence!”

Butler Tian refrained from issuing any direct threats, yet each word carried an ominous undertone.

Shao Yunduan felt an unexpected tranquility within his heart.

He possessed his own ambitions and objectives, and he refused to accept such an offer.

But he would never have regrets!

He could not engage in such immoral, shameless, and dishonorable acts, nor had he ever contemplated leveraging nepotism for personal gain within the government.

Even as a first-class official, he wouldn’t be able to live a peaceful life in that manner.

In this world, there were those who solely pursued profit, and there were those who upheld righteousness and integrity.

“I will ponder upon it,” Shao Yunduan replied slowly after a moment of silence.

Qiao Xuan cast a glance at him but remained silent.

Butler Tian wore an expression of smug satisfaction. “There’s no need for you to contemplate, is there? Mr. Primus, I expect a prompt response. Our Old Master and Madame await my answer.”

Shao Yunduan replied, “I need time to think.”

Steward Tian stumbled over his words, his irritation evident. He shot a displeased look at Shao Yunduan and said, “Very well, I shall return tomorrow, and I hope Mr. Primus will have a satisfactory answer by then.”

But Butler Tian remained indifferent to Qiao Xuan’s demeanor and her willingness to comply.

In his view, Qiao Xuan had no authority to voice her opinion.

She lacked the qualifications to accept such an offer.

Shao Yunduan remained silent. Butler Tian sneered and departed.

Qiao Xuan turned towards Shao Yunduan, her expression filled with inquiry. “You…”

“Listen to me first.” Shao Yunduan placed his hands on Qiao Xuan’s shoulders and forced a gentle smile. “Let’s leave the capital!”

Qiao Xuan’s eyes widened.

“I want us to attend the Qionglin Banquet the day after tomorrow. If that doesn’t work out, we can leave the capital! I refuse to yield, even if I may have regrets.”

Qiao Xuan experienced a surge of complex emotions. It felt as if her internal organs were entangled in a jumble.

It was the worst-case scenario they had discussed. However, as the moment drew near, Qiao Xuan discovered her heart racing in disarray, and her legs growing weak.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

“You fool,” Shao Yunduan chuckled, gently wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes. He lowered his head and planted a tender kiss on her forehead. With a resolute tone, he said, “Tomorrow, I will have Songshi discreetly search for a hostel. The day after tomorrow, you will stay at the Hostel. It’s best if you don’t remain here any longer.”

No one could predict the actions the Tian Family might take when they exerted such pressure on them.
