Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 225 : Why was he willing to lower his head?

Dacheng watched the happenings in front of him. He couldn't understand why Lei Qian was so respectful towards the Bai brothers. Even if he slept with Bai Meiyue, it was that woman who gained a benefit. Dacheng didn't think that there was anything wrong with Lei Qian not wanting to marry Bai Meiyue.

She was just a small actress, and while he was one of the richest men in the city, why would Lei Qian marry such a woman who could bring him no benefit? If he was in his position, he would have done the same.

But the way Lei Qian kept lowering his head in front of the two Bai brothers, Dacheng couldn't help but wonder if there was something more to the story. If not, why would Lei Qian go after Bai Meiyue so persistently when he had Lu Yin, who was willing to serve him selflessly?

He went to sit next to Yun Chuan.

At that time, Yun Chuan was looking for something in his bag, most probably a mouth freshener or a candy. Dacheng walked over with a small packet of peeling candies that he found earlier in the city and handed it to Yun Chuan.

"Thanks," Yun Chuan took the packet and handed it to Mo He, who didn't waste another second and popped one inside of his mouth right away. Only then did his mournful expression turn a bit better.

While Mo He was getting teased by Yang Chunhua, Dacheng turned to look at Yun Chuan and asked, "Brother Chuan, I have a question. Can I ask you about it?"

"Sure."

"I just wanted to know if Miss Bai and her brothers have something over Brother Qian. I don't mean anything by it, but we are a team and I am worried that Brother Qian might be entangled in a messy situation." By stating those words, Dacheng cleanly separated Bai Meiyue and her brothers from the team. In his eyes, even if they were working together, they were not from the same team.

When Yun Chuan heard his question, his expression turned a bit unpredictable before he burst out laughing. He dusted his hands and clothes before saying with a chuckle, "I don't think so. Brother Qian is not the kind of man who would let anyone threaten him."

"Then why is he willing to lower his head in front of Miss Bai and her brothers? It doesn't make sense?"

Yun Chuan glanced at the man beside him and hummed. "Maybe not to you but it might make sense to Brother Qian? Anyway, this is his own decision and we shouldn't poke our noses in his matter."

Though Dacheng did try to hide his real thoughts, Yun Chuan saw through him. He already had very low hopes from this man, as he had seen him acting flattering and scrupulous with everyone in the team.

He knew that Dacheng had some small ideas but now it seemed like he also held some twisted beliefs.

Just because Lei Qian was nice to Bai Meiyue, he thought that she had something on Lei Qian? Then Yang Chunhua went to such great lengths to save this man—was it because he had some really miraculous treasure in his hands?

Yun Chuan shook his head and turned to look at Yang Chunhua, who was playing with Mo He and knew that this little sister was going to get her heart broken very soon.

Dacheng looked at Yun Chuan, who stopped speaking and was speechless. He knew that Yun Chuan and the rest respected Lei Qian but he never expected that their loyalty towards him would be this deep. It seemed like Yun Chuan had answered his question but in truth he hadn't said a word!

This only made Dacheng's desire to get close to the team members even more.

At times like these, only by relying on and getting close to a group of people with such outstanding abilities could help him reach greater and new heights.

He was good at developing interpersonal relationships, so Dacheng knew that he would somehow manage to make these people trust him. The more despondent he grew, the more determined he became to blend in with the team.

Lu Yin, on the other hand, stared at the vine wall while biting her lip. She bit it so hard that she tasted blood. Why!? Why was Brother Qian so doting and kind towards Bai Meiyue and so cold to her? Even when Bai Meiyue's brothers treated Lei Qian like a dog, he was willing to lower his head and please them.

What was she lacking when compared to Bai Meiyue that Lei Qian was willing to show such a tender side to her?

On the other side, Lei Qian was humming a soft tune as he walked behind Bai Meiyue. He had no idea that someone was crying because of him; he turned to look at Bai Meiyue and asked, "Are you really going to catch those mutated cows?"

"Why else would I step out?" Bai Meiyue arched a brow and replied in a cold voice. Her eyes were flickering left and right and she was waiting for the notification to go off. However, the system was more silent than her surroundings, which made her wonder whether the person who found the antique took it away.

Bai Meiyue hoped that it wasn't the case. Because she was banking on that antique gold statue to level up!

However, even after walking for a long time, she didn't hear the sound of the system notification, and Bai Meiyue's heart, which was filled with expectations, fell in a small pit of her stomach with a loud thud. It seemed like the antique was really taken away!

Her small face crumpled up even more, which made Lei Qian frown. He leaned in close and looked at the woman before asking, "What's the matter? What made you upset?"

Bai Meiyue paused when she saw Lei Qian lean in close; she was suddenly reminded of the night when Lei Qian had swooped in just like this and kissed her. In her past life, she refused to remember these memories and with the troubles and fears that she was carrying, she soon forgot this man's face.

But maybe because she now knew who slept with her, her memories were only getting clearer instead of duller.

Not to mention this face!

Argh!
