Chapter 816: No Chores

He nodded lightly. "Don't do these things in the future. Leave them all to me."

"What am I supposed to do then?"

"You can stand by the beach and enjoy the breeze. Go look at the scenery."

"…" She smiled. Any other man would have been overjoyed to have her help at a time like this. Yet, he could not bear to make her work. "I'll fall ill if I'm too free. I'll do the easier chores."

He took in her sunburnt, reddened cheeks with heartache. "Don't do any chores. Be obedient."

She did not argue with him.

He spoke up in discomfort. "Do you know how worried I was when I returned to see that you weren't there?"

She fell silent. He had found her when she was still a distance away from the shed. He had to have spent a long time looking for her. "I'm sorry. I got too excited at the sight of so much food that I forgot about the time."

"I've made you suffer." Bai Qinghao thought of their current circumstances and could only sigh helplessly.
