Chapter 585: Strozis Archipelago

    

territory. This large bed is for him and his wife only. As for his son, he's simply carried out.Gradually, Junzhi Mu began to feel resentful. Qiao Bao'er had recently been focusing all her attention..."...Did you sleep in the same room as him, on the same bed"

After breakfast the next day, Zhu Xiaowei leaned closer to Qiao Baier and chatted, her expression thoughtful and dubious. "Didn't you say you forgot a memory Wouldn't you resist a stranger"

Now, Junzhi Mu is just a stranger to her. According to what she knows about Qiao Bao'er, it's impossible for her to submit to a man so easily.

Qiao Baoer felt a little uncomfortable under her scorching gaze of suspicion. She slightly turned her head, her voice calm, "There's no way."

"Your shepherd won't let me sleep in the guest room, he won't let me go out."

She just explained it that way.

"He won't Are you not going to make a fuss" Zhu Xiaowei didn't quite believe it.

< Qiao Bao'er sighed, "He just doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do." >

For things that resistance is futile against, one can only accept them. This was her rule of life.

A true shepherd knows her thoroughly, understands her flaws, and when necessary, takes firm action to make her obedient.

Zhu Xiaowei's mind wandered, mumbling, "... Getting pregnant before marriage, then getting the license." Indeed, Jun Zhimu had always handled her with such a domineering attitude.

"What did you say"

"...Nothing."

Zhu Xiaowei paused, her tone a little odd, " Qiao Baier, you've forgotten what Jun Zhimu is like He's the kind of person with deep schemes and is hard to figure out. You'd be sold by him and still count his money. But don't worry. Jun Zhimu, whenever he meets you, he always surrenders." He willingly admits defeat.

"With a husband like Jun Mu, you have nothing to worry about. Your children will definitely return safely. That's wonderful."

"Thank you." Qiao Baoer said politely, but she didn't like the other person's sarcastic tone.

Not long after, Emma came to find Zhu Xiaowei to go for a stroll in the northern garden of Jun's family.

Qiao Bao'er stood still, gazing at the surrounding scenery. Fish in the artificial pond were swimming merrily.

There's something Zhu Xiaowei said that's right, forgetting a memory made her feel insecure.

Fang's mother brought over a fruit platter. "Miss Zhu has changed a lot since she returned to China this time,"

Qiao Baoer waved her hand to indicate she wouldn't eat, "If there are any new and interesting fruit drinks or the like, remember to take them to entertain Zhu Xiaowei and the others."

By the way, my aunt said that for women, it's easier to accept the death of a husband than the loss of a child. Little Zhu probably can't get over this pain for a while.

Fang Da Ma was taken aback and smiled wryly, unable to speak. She never expected a lady like Gu Ru Yan to be lecturing her.

Qiao Bao'er is strong and independent, mostly due to Gu Ruyue's influence. She had a difficult time living outside the Qiao family for a while during that period, which made her thoughts somewhat radical.

"When will Lord Jun's shepherd be back"

"Madam, do you have something urgent to tell him You could just call him. Did you forget his phone number"

Fan Dama answered enthusiastically, saying that every time Qiao Baoer called their young master, he was very happy.

Jo Bao'er saw Fang Da Ma being so enthusiastic and felt a little embarrassed, "No rush, wait for him to come back and then ask."

She actually wanted to ask, where her twin sons are now. Although she didn't have much memory of her children, she still cared and was curious about them.

Junzhi's shepherd seemed to know exactly what was going on, and he looked very confident.

Three days later, Qiao Bao'er deeply realized that her husband was truly a very busy man.

I don't know what he's busy with outside.

Emma was visiting China for the first time. Having toured all the courtyards of the Jun family, she was excited to go out with Zhu Xiaowei and explore the night market.

"We in Paris, even in my hometown which is a pretty remote village, usually don't dare to go out after 12 at night because it's very chaotic outside. You guys in China are good."

Emma watched the busy people on the street, and especially many girls dressed brightly and freely walking down the road, she couldn't help but sigh.

Emma and Zhu Xiaowei bought a lot of things in the bustling market, carrying big and small bags, while also eating skewers and drinking milk tea.

"Wow, I thought someone as rich as you wouldn't like milk tea. You probably think it has artificial flavors, no nutritional value, and is bad for your health."

Qiao Bao'er gave a self-conscious smile, "Thanks." She took the cup of taro milk tea that Emma offered, "I was pretty poor before I got married." She chuckled to herself.

Saying that, Qiao Baoer turned her head to look behind her.

She didn't buy anything tonight. The Jun family had everything they could ever want, but she felt, perhaps it was just her imagination, that someone was following her.

Emma was very interested in Jo Bao'er and, warmly taking her hand, kept asking, "How did you meet your husband How did you marry him Did you pursue him"

Abroad, it's common for women to pursue men.

Emma kept asking throughout the evening, while Qiao Bao'er absentmindedly kept looking back, which made her seem indifferent.

Emma also felt that Qiao Baobao's personality was a bit cold, so she awkwardly smiled and let go of her, continuing to chat happily with Zhu Xiaowei.

"...Don't force integration if you are not in the same class."

Zhu Xiaowei said in a flat tone, " Qiao Baier is just being humble. Her original family isn't ordinary." The Qiao family was also very wealthy back then.

"There aren't that many Cinderella stories in this world."

Emma didn't quite agree, "Although I think Qiao Baoer isn't as gentle as people say, she's not arrogant and difficult to get along with. Every woman has a princess dream in her heart, right There are both aloof princesses and commoner princesses in Disney."

Emma thought simply, Zhu Xiaowei's expression was gloomy, "Daydreaming about being a princess all the time, in the end, it's just yourself who gets hurt, just like me before."

Chatting and chatting, unconsciously, they turned their heads back and found Qiao Baier was not behind them anymore, they had lost each other.

"... Let's go back first. Don't worry about her, the Jun family will send a car to pick her up."

Fifteen minutes later, Jun's family did send a driver to pick up Qiao Bao'er, but they couldn't find her.

Jo Bao'er was currently in a dark alley. Compared to the dazzling lights of the bustling city, this place was very cold and quiet. There were few people around, only a few dim street lamps far away.

She couldn't figure out how she ended up in such a remote place. She suspected she was being followed, because the crowds on the street where the trouble started were too large and the shouts too loud. She deliberately chose a quieter path, and before she knew it, she had walked to this spot.

The clouds were thick tonight, and the moon was intermittently visible through them, with a few scattered stars shining.

A fifteen-yuan moon hung in the sky, its edges faintly tinged with crimson. It was a silent night, not a breath of wind stirring, and Qiao Bao'er walked down the concrete road. The stillness was so profound that she could hear every step she took.

Suddenly, a sense of alertness surged through me.

Jo Bao'er began to regret that she shouldn't have been so bold and deliberately walked the secluded path. If she encountered a robber with a weapon, it would be dangerous.

Thinking this way, she immediately ran back towards the direction of the bustling market.

Behind me, that feeling of being stalked, as if someone was always watching my every move, returned.

Qiao Bao'er frowned, very unwilling, and immediately turned around.

It was pitch black, utterly empty, and eerily silent.

"...Who's been following me all along" she dared to ask the dimly lit alley.

Vaguely, the moon peeked out from behind the clouds overhead, casting a faint glow. She seemed to see a cat, sitting upright in a corner, flicking its tail.

Jo Bao'er bent down and grabbed a piece of wood from beside the trash can, using it as a weapon. She carefully walked over.

Perhaps it was because she had forgotten a part of her memory, that her memories at this time stopped at her youth. She was rather impulsive and very curious, wanting to find out exactly what it was.

"...What kind of cat is this It keeps following me."

Just as she crept closer, step by step, the cat in front of her remained motionless, seemingly unafraid.

Suddenly, a figure swiftly darted out from the right. The woman spoke, her tone laced with provocation. "Well, well, Qiao Bao'er. You seem to have gotten quite nimble lately."

Qiao Bao'er was startled, and the wooden stick in her hand was about to swing down. On second thought, she recognized the person.

"Do you really want to fight me"

She raised an eyebrow and glanced at the wooden stick in her hand. Instinctively, she got into a defensive position.

“Have you been following me all this time” Qiao Bao’er asked, retracting her wooden stick.

Shrugged, not denying it.

"Besides you, who else"

"That's strange, who else would be following you besides me"

She's the type who does things for money. Who else would bother to track and protect her

"...But just now, it seemed like there was a cat." As she spoke, Qiao Bao'er looked up at the wall again, but the cat was gone.

"Qiao Bao'er, I have something to talk to you about. Do you remember You once got an ancient coin and said it would follow you. In the end, you gave it to Tang Yu."

Get straight to the point, don't have too high hopes. After all, she has forgotten a part of her memory, so we don't know if she remembers ancient coins or not.

Qiao Bao'er looked at her, with no recollection at all, shaking her head. "I don't remember."

Gazing at the full moon overhead, he let out a dramatic sigh, "No hope, no hope."

"But you mentioned Tang Yu, recently Tang Yu gave me a map," Qiao Bao'er said truthfully, "Although it wasn't given to me personally, there are his handwriting on it."

"Strozzy Archipelago."e Zhiyan" Lu Qinan hesitated and stuttered, his mind in turmoil. He didn't have a clue himself.Joe Bao'er said menacingly, "I will show you right now whether Jun Zhiyan needs to be tied up with ropes....
