Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

When she heard that, a vein popped out on Qi Qingyao's forehead. Jiang Yeqian's words were befitting that of a leech, but said with such baffling confidence.

Qi Qingyao said, "Pops, not only have you lost your memories and owe me money, you have enemies as well. You may be good at fighting, but if I let you stay beside me, it's like having a ticking time bomb next to me waiting to explode. If your enemies come in search of you, we'll be harmed too. It would be terrible if I'm drawn into that mess as well!"

Si Jin nodded seriously.

Jiang Yeqian was furious after listening to her words.

He was the Grand Secretariat of the Empire! In the imperial hall, all the officers had to bow in deference when they saw him. Although there was that slight issue of the State Preceptor sending assassins after him when he left for inspection this time around…

Temporarily, he had to depend on Qi Qingyao for a living, but it wasn't like he was a shabby companion. Apparently though, this woman had always wanted him to leave…

How shallow!

Plus she had the gall to say that he was a time bomb too!

Jiang Yeqian was furious!

If he really left though, her wishes would be fulfilled.

Jiang Yeqian said, his face set, "You saved me, didn't you?"

Qi Qingyao retorted, "If you know that much, shouldn't you be thankful to me?"

"Then you're responsible," Jiang Yeqian said decisively.

Qi Qingyao raised her brow, somewhat curious. "Responsible?" Was he expecting her to be responsible to the end?

Si Jin furrowed his little brow, deep in thought. "Responsible for what?"

"You're responsible for me before I regain my memories. Let me go with you Elder Sister!!!" Jiang Yeqian imitated Si Jin by calling Qi Qingyao Elder Sister deliberately.

'He imitated me… Damn him. Ugh!'

"Was everything I said just now for f*cking nothing?" Qi Qingyao was starting to get angry.

She was so furious that she ate one more piece of braised pork rib. She then picked out the biggest piece and dropped it into her bowl before continuing, incensed, "Or is there something wrong with your ears?"

"There's nothing wrong with my ears." Jiang Yeqian had lost his appetite. He set his bowl down. Looking at the woman's face, he decided that he could not be too aggressive. Instead, he should take a softer approach. He said earnestly, "To be honest, I'm being considerate of your interests too. Think about it carefully. You're now carrying a large amount of money, and you're a weak woman too…"

"I'm not a weak-minded woman, thank you very much." Qi Qingyao rolled her eyes calmly.

"Weak-minded?" Jiang Yeqian felt like Qi Qingyao could always rile him up easily. "I meant in the physical sense."

"Oh, be clearer next time or I might think that you're insulting me." Qi Qingyao started on the roasted chicken.

"Don't interrupt me. Hear me out first."

Jiang Yeqian looked at the woman eating voraciously in front of him and said sincerely, "You have three children with you. Can Si Jin alone protect one woman and three children? Can he deal with any bad people you happen across? Can you be sure that you'll be able to emerge unscathed if a dozen robbers try to rob you at the same time?"

"..." Qi Qingyao paused in the middle of spitting out a chicken bone.

Jiang Yeqian noticed that Qi Qingyao was considering his words. He continued, "What if someone set up a ploy to divert your attention from your children? Are you sure that you and this innocent boy can deal with it yourselves?"

Si Jin put down his bowl indignantly. "Don't look down on me. I'm quite capable."

"You are." Jiang Yeqian looked at Qi Qingyao earnestly. He said, "How about this? I'll go with you, but you don't need to pay me. I'll pay back my debt to you by working for you."

Qi Qingyao said as she ate, "Work for me? Let's say your monthly pay is five taels. If you sell yourself to me, you'll have to work for two hundred months, which is about sixteen years and eight months… This doesn't even include the days you might want to take off, during festivals and all that! Sixteen years! Even Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu's reunion took place in a shorter time than that!"

"Yang Guo? Xiao Long Nu?" Jiang Yeqian appeared to be perplexed.

"Don't mind that. To sum it up, I don't want you to go with me." Qi Qingyao remained insistent.
