Farming Space Makes Me Rich Chapter 431 - Back Then

Chapter 431 Back Then
Xiao Lingyu could not help but tremble. She really did not expect it would be so dangerous to be liked by Jiang Tao. But, she also knew this was not Jiang Tao’s fault.
Gong Tianhao saw that Xiao Lingyu’s face was slightly pale, and she looked a little scared. He felt his heart ache as he hugged her in his embrace. He patted her small shoulders and comforted her, “Yu ‘Er, don’t be afraid. I’m here now. It’s alright. I’ll protect you and all the members of the Xiao family.”
Xiao Lingyu leaned against Gong Tianhao’s chest and listened to his heartbeat and his magnetic voice. Her panic and fear slowly subsided.
She lifted her head from Gong Tianhao’s chest and nodded, “Yes, with you around, I’m not afraid. Because you will protect us.”
At the same time, her desire to become stronger intensified. If she did not become stronger, others could crush her as easily as crushing an ant.
This time, she was very lucky. Gong Tianhao came to her side and protected her and her family. But what if he weren’t by her side?
Xiao Lingyu asked curiously, “Then what happened after that?”
Gong Tianhao said, “Tao Zi told me how disappointed he was when you weren’t willing to accept his love. He said it was because you told him you were pregnant. Then, he told me the story behind your pregnancy. Back then, I had already suspected you were the woman in bed with me that night. After hearing the story from Tao Zi, my heart skipped a beat, and I became extremely excited.
“At that time, I couldn’t care if Tao Zi still liked you. I knew that it was impossible for me to hide my feelings anymore. At that moment, I wanted nothing more than to immediately fly to you and hold you tightly in my arms. “So, I flew to Taoyuan Village to look for you.”

Xiao Lingyu thought of that time Gong Tianhao suddenly appeared at her house with his suitcase. Yan Siming was also there to question her about her pregnancy. Gong Tianhao had a verbal fight with Yan Siming that day. Xiao Lingyu still thought it was very funny.
Gong Tianhao was a little puzzled and asked, “Yu ‘Er, why are you laughing?”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I was thinking about the day you came and argued with Yan Siming. I find it funny. I think you were quite handsome back then.”
“…” Gong Tianhao said unhappily, “Yu ‘Er, I wasn’t just handsome back then. I’ve always been handsome, okay?”
In a relationship, people care about what their partners think of them. But normally, women had this concern more than men. Xiao Lingyu rolled her eyes and said, “Yes, yes, yes. You’re very handsome every day, alright?”
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Yes, you’re also very beautiful every day in my eyes.”
Xiao Lingyu, “…”
Then, Xiao Lingyu seemed to have thought of something. She stood up and grabbed Gong Tianhao’s collar as she questioned loudly, “You said that you came to me only after you knew that the child in my stomach is yours, right? So, your goal is the child, after all?”.
Gong Tianhao’s expression changed slightly. He immediately explained, “No, Yu ‘Er, listen to my explanation.”
Xiao Lingyu said with a faint smile, “Alright. I’ll listen to your explanation. Let’s see what you can come up with.” Gong Tianhao wiped the sweat off his forehead. ‘Yu ‘Er is too smart for me to fool.’
Gong Tianhao told her the truth, “Yu ‘Er, you know that I fell in love at second glance. It’s just that I’ve been suppressing it. Later on, when I found out that you were pregnant with my child, I was overjoyed. I felt that you were destined to be my wife.
“At the same time, I understood that when it comes to relationships, you couldn’t give in.
“If you like Tao Zi and Tao Zi likes you, then it’s fine. I’ll give you my blessing. However, you don’t like Tao Zi.
“If I have to see you end up with a man you don’t like, it’s like pushing you into a fire pit. Plus, Tao Zi has a complicated family background. Instead of letting you suffer, it’s better to protect you under my wings. “I will definitely not let you suffer any harm, and I will absolutely not allow anyone to hurt you.
“Tao Zi also understood this very well, so after learning everything between us, he decided to bow out and gave us his sincere blessings.”
When Xiao Lingyu heard this, she blinked her eyes. She felt that this matter… was very touching
“Yu ‘Er, believe in me!”
When Xiao Lingyu became silent, Gong Tianhao was worried that she had gone back to question his motives. “I didn’t know relationships in the past, but I understand it now. I’ll not make the same mistake in the future.”
Xiao Lingyu laughed sinisterly, “Oh. So you think there’s a chance you’d make the same mistake in the future.”
Gong Tianhao immediately quivered and shook his head, “Of course not. You’re my wife for the rest of my life.” He was very serious.
Xiao Lingyu burst out laughing. “Alright, alright. Don’t be so serious.”
Gong Tianhao heaved a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and said, “Yu ‘Er, you scared me to death.”
Xiao Lingyu found it funny. At the same time, she felt happy and sweet in her heart.
Gong Tianhao was such a powerful man. Yet, he was so nervous in front of her. He treated her so well. What more could she ask for?
Gong Tianhao looked at Xiao Lingyu’s smile, and his eyes deepened. He pulled Xiao Lingyu into his embrace and said, “Yu ‘Er, please don’t doubt my feelings anymore. I was wrong before, but now that I’ve thought it through, it’s even more impossible for me to give you up
now.”
“Mm. Good!” Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
“Cough, cough…” At that moment, a cough suddenly came from the side.
This cough immediately startled Xiao Lingyu. She quickly broke away from Gong Tianhao’s embrace and turned around to look at the new arrival.
“Mom!” Xiao Lingyu called out with a blush. She had no idea when her mother had returned and how long she had been watching. Xiao Lingyu’s face burned.
Gong Tianhao was very generous and did not feel embarrassed at all.
He smiled and called out, “Mother!”
Mother Xiao suddenly thought of something important and said, “Yu ‘Er, the trees that have been planted on the mountain are showing signs of yellowing and withering.” The two fruit tree experts went back after the saplings with planted. They even brought a few saplings back with them. So Mother Xiao turned to Xiao Lingyu now that there was a problem. Xiao Lingyu frowned and said with some doubt, “Withering?”
The trees were watered with the spring water, and they were cultivated in the farming space so they shouldn’t wither. “That’s right!” Mother Xiao nodded and said, “I don’t know what’s going on either.” Everything that was planted with the spring water was perfect. Something like this had never happened before. This was very strange. “The fruit trees we planted were all properly planted under the guidance of experts and professors. Logically speaking, this shouldn’t happen, right?” Mother Xiao frowned. Xiao Lingyu said, “Mom, I’ll go take a look.” There was a cable car installed in the mountains, so they could reach the farm directly.
Gong Tianhao supported Xiao Lingyu. The three of them reached the platform, got on the cable car, and went up the mountain.
Even from the cable car, Xiao Lingyu could see that most of the fruit trees were sick.
Gong Tianhao asked, “Yu ‘Er, should I get someone to invite Professor Yu and Professor Ji back?”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Let’s take a look at the situation first.”
Her fruit trees were special. Normal people might not notice anything but the professionals would after spending time studying the trees. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not invite professors over. After getting off the cable car, she walked to the row of pear trees. Xiao Lingyu came to the side of a pear tree and noticed that there were white and yellow leaves on the pear tree. It looked like it was sick.
