The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 135 - The Scar under the Mask

Chapter 135: The Scar under the Mask

Jiang Zhennan was speechless for a moment.

He was concerned because Lin Yuelan was young. What if something happened to her on the way? He hadn’t considered that she had killed 29 a.s.sa.s.sins in an instant.

“But no matter what, I still have to thank you, big brother Nan!” Lin Yuelan suddenly said with a serious and sincere expression. This showed that the masked uncle really did care about her.

When Jiang Zhennan heard Lin Yuelan call him big brother Nan, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

However, he stammered, “Yue ‘Er … Lady Yue ‘Er, you don’t have to thank me!”

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Then, masked uncle, let’s go back together!”

Jiang Zhennan’s happy heart dropped. She started to call him masked uncle again.

“Oh, by the way, masked uncle,” Lin Yuelan looked at his silver mask and said with a burning gaze, “Why do you wear this mask every day? Won’t it be uncomfortable or inconvenient?”

Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan walked side by side, one big and one small, one tall and one short. Under the moonlight, the gap between their figures was slightly reduced.

Jiang Zhennan said lightly, “I’m already used to it.” Therefore, he didn’t feel uncomfortable wearing a mask that weighed several kilograms.

However, Lin Yuelan asked again, “Masked uncle, why did you wear it in the first place? I heard that your face under the mask is scary. Is that true?” Her tender and clear voice echoed on the deserted countryside path. The frogs and insects chirping seemed to be repeating her words.

Lin Yuelan immediately shook her head and continued, “But then, some people say that it’s because you’re too handsome. You think people will judge you for being too handsome. So you wear a mask to deter your enemies. Is that right, masked uncle?” She was very curious.

Jiang Zhennan’s low, hoa.r.s.e, and slightly magnetic voice replied, “Miss Yue ‘Er, I was disfigured. I don’t want to scare women and children, so I put on a mask. As for the rumors, they are just rumors.”

Then again, it wasn’t wrong to say that he looked scary. There was a terrible scar on his face. It looked terrifying, and some children and women fainted seeing it.

Before he pulled on the mask, even some of the soldiers would look away from his face in fear as if they had seen a demon.

When the children saw him, they were so scared that they cried. Some of the women fainted the moment they saw his face.

Therefore, he decided to put on the mask after that.

He had never taken off this mask in front of anyone ever since.

Lin Yuelan asked in confusion, “masked uncle, is your face really that badly disfigured?” A small scar could completely heal on its own unless the scar was huge and had damaged the facial nerves. Those scars could look scary. She wondered what kind of scar Jiang Zhennan had.

Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, “Yes!”

Lin Yuelan stopped in her tracks. She turned her head and said to Jiang Zhennan, “big brother Nan, can I see your face?”

When Jiang Zhennan heard such a request, his heart was filled with fear, anxiety, and uneasiness.

He was afraid that once Lin Yuelan saw his face, she would also be frightened. Would she chase him away? Would she be able to treat him the same in the future?

He was afraid of losing Lin Yuelan as a friend. Lin Yuelan was the first person who was not afraid of him and who would order him around. Therefore, he didn’t want to lose his only friend.

However, Jiang Zhennan could not refuse Lin Yuelan’s request.
