C9 A Big Present

In the moonlight, Ye Yuan looked at the motionless horse and smiled.

"Let's give him a big gift first. Let's go."

Seeing that Ye Yuan cared so much about Tao Xiaozou, the subordinate hesitated for a while before asking him.

"Master, are you interested in Miss Tao?"

Ye Yuan glanced at the people around him. He didn't admit or deny it.

"So meddlesome!"

The subordinate lowered his head and laughed in his heart. Seeing Ye Yuan's nervous look, he knew that he treated Tao Xiaozui differently.

On the way, Ye Yuan sent away the people around him and returned to Tao Xiaozou's house alone.

As soon as he entered the yard, he felt a little hungry, so he went to the kitchen in the dark. He carefully searched, but he didn't find anything edible.

It was also at this time that Tao Xiaozui woke up and listened to the sounds in the kitchen. She picked up the iron crowbar and walked into the kitchen.

The smell of blood made Tao Xiaosui very uneasy. She walked into the kitchen step by step and saw a black shadow eating something in the kitchen.

Just as Tao Xiaotu raised the crowbar and was about to hit him, Ye Yuan instinctively dodged, causing her to lose her balance and lose her balance.

Ye Yuan quickly threw away the object in his hand, turned around, and held Tao Xiaosui tightly in his arms.

"It's you?"

"It's you?"

The two of them spoke in unison. Tao Xiaosu quickly stood up and subconsciously took two steps back. She cleared her throat to hide her uneasiness.

"You ate so much today. It's already so late, why are you still eating secretly in the kitchen?"

Tao Xiaotu could not help but suspect that this man's stomach was a bottomless pit.

Ye Yuan chuckled and praised Tao Xiaotu until she was dizzy and disoriented, "It's all because the food you make is too delicious. I can't forget it after eating it."

Hearing him say that, Tao Xiaozui's face immediately became shy: "Even if it's delicious, you can't eat it like that."

As she spoke, Tao Xiaozui could faintly smell the smell of blood.

Tao Xiaotu felt something was wrong. She got closer to Ye Yuan and sniffed carefully.

"Why do you smell blood?"

Ye Yuan pretended to be surprised and touched Tao Xiaotu's forehead, "Are you sick? Why is there the smell of blood at home?"

Then, Ye Yuan sniffed it carefully and shook his head, "I just smell the fragrance. Where is the smell of blood?"

He knew very well that the smell of blood that Tao Xiaozui had smelled was most likely from when they were killing the horses earlier.

Luckily, it was dark. Even if there was blood on her clothes, Tao Xiao-Su wouldn't be able to see it.

Seeing him like this, Tao Xiao-Su thought she was hallucinating and didn't take it seriously.

"Maybe I am wrong!"

Looking at Ye Yuan eating, Tao Xiaozui was also a little greedy. However, when she thought about eating at night to gain weight, she still held it in.

Early in the morning, when Tao Xiaozui got up to change her clothes, she saw a faint red color on her clothes.

She picked it up and looked at it carefully. It looked like blood, but she didn't see any blood on her body...

"How strange!"

Tao Xiaozui thought again and thought of the bloody smell on Ye Yuan's body last night. She seemed to have thought of something.

Could it be that the smell of blood last night was not an illusion but real?

He... killed someone?

Thinking of this, Tao Xiaosuan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and all the hairs on her body stood up.

After changing her clothes, Tao Xiaosu walked out of her room and saw Third Brother Tao busy in the kitchen.

"Dad, you're up so early?"

Third Brother Tao glanced at Tao Xiaotu before preparing his things and heading out to the shop.

The more Tao Xiaosui looked at Ye Yuan's door, the more she felt that he was a dangerous person.

Could it be that he was trying to get close to her from the beginning?

Or perhaps, his amnesia was fake.

It was just that Tao Xiaosou could not figure out why Ye Yuan did this.

It was at this moment that Ye Yuan suddenly opened the door and saw Tao Xiaosu standing outside in a daze. He walked up to her and casually waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"

Only then did Tao Xiaozui come back to her senses. "N-Nothing!"

"Where did you go last night?"

Hearing Tao Xiaozui's question, Ye Yuan's heart suddenly thumped.

How did Tao Xiaotu know that he went out last night?

Luckily, Ye Yuan was calm enough and did not panic because of Tao Xiaosu's question. His reaction was also natural and calm.

"I didn't go out last night. What's wrong with you? It's not the Mid-Yuan Festival yet, how can you speak nonsense!"

After saying that, Ye Yuan went back to work to avoid Tao Xiaozui's suspicion.

Tao Xiaozui took out her clothes and showed them to Ye Yuan. Her mind was clear as she analyzed, "I clearly smelled blood last night, but you said you didn't. But what about the blood on my clothes?"

Ye Yuan laughed lightly and didn't mind, "The blood on your clothes might have been there. What does it have to do with me?"

"I almost fell down last night. You held me and I smelled the blood on your body, but you said nothing. I felt something was wrong at that time."

Tao Xiao-Su confirmed her guess and her face became more serious.

"I think the blood was stained at that time. What else do you have to say?"

Ye Yuan knew that this matter could not be avoided when he heard her tone. After all, it was an indisputable fact that she was stained with blood.

"I don't know where it came from. I worked with you yesterday."

Tao Xiaosu walked up to him and deliberately lowered her voice to ask, "Did you kill someone?"

Ye Yuan quickly waved his hand to deny it. He used his injuries as an excuse, "I'm still injured. How can I kill someone?"

Thinking about it, it made sense. Ye Yuan was injured because of her. If he really had ulterior motives, Ye Yuan would have let her be killed a long time ago. Why would he risk his life for her?

With this thought, Tao Xiaosu's tangled emotions were cleared up.

"That's true..."

Ye Yuan could tell that Tao Xiaosui didn't really trust him. She only gave up temporarily because she didn't have anything on him.

If he continued to stay in the Tao family, he was afraid that his identity would soon be discovered by Tao Xiaosui. Ye Yuan was thinking whether it was better to leave.

But Ming Feng already had his eyes on the Tao family, and Tao Xiaosui was in danger because of him. If he wasn't in the Tao family, what if Ming Feng kidnapped Tao Xiaosui and threatened him?

After thinking about it, Ye Yuan still decided to stay at the Tao family. At least, he knew that Tao Xiaozui was safe.

"It's getting late, we have to go to the shop."

After Tao Xiaosui washed her clothes, she packed her things and went to the shop with Ye Yuan.

Seeing that the business was a little slow, she took out the enchanting flower and placed it outside the shop, attracting many customers to try the food.

When she saw that the plate was empty, Tao Xiaozui went up to sell it: "Han Bao ten coppers a bag, fries eight coppers a bag, fifteen coppers a bag..."

Tao Xiaotu's shout had some effect. Not long after, many customers came.
