Chapter 218 - 196: Going Out to Play

Fenglin VillaBedroom

Gu Yanjing finished freshening up and went to the study to handle some matters. By the time he returned to the room, Qiao Yuxian had already sprawled out on his bed.

She was lying there playing with her phone, swinging her leg.

Upon hearing footsteps, Qiao Yuxian turned her head to look at him and asked, "Is it the person following us tonight?"

"Hmm." Gu Yanjing got on the bed, leaned against the headboard, and patted her head.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Gu Yanjing continued, "Gu Zhengyu’s people."

Qiao Yuxian’s pupils slightly flickered.

"It’s nothing." Gu Yanjing said, "Feng Chuanbai has been pushed hard recently and is looking for partners everywhere, wanting to join forces against me. Gu Zhengyu is one of his partners."

Qiao Yuxian furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Do you need help?"

"How would you help?" Gu Yanjing asked with some curiosity.

"Lend you people." Qiao Yuxian, lying on the pillow, replied, "Domestic or abroad, however many you want is fine."

"That impressive?" Gu Yanjing patted her head.

"Of course." Qiao Yuxian raised her eyebrows playfully, "I’m very capable. If there’s a chance, I’ll take you to see my territory."

"Your territory." Gu Yanjing repeated softly. by the door.

Qiao Yuxian saw the Old Li’s logo on the paper bag, her eyes lit up, looking at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing walked over, holding her hand towards the dining room, "Woke up early today."

According to his estimated time, she would still be asleep when he returned.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the things inside the bag, checking if it had the stuffed pancakes she wanted most. "I might have sensed someone was going to buy delicious food. And there is what I wanted the most. How did you know I was craving? I dreamed about buying it all night yesterday and couldn’t get it."

Gu Yanjing handed his jacket to Aunt Mei.

"It’s about an hour and a half round trip from here to Old Li’s shop, right?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Mm."

"Why did you go there?" Qiao Yuxian always focused on the paper bag, "Was there anything important?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly asked, "Did I talk in my sleep last night?"

Gu Yanjing pinched her face and handed her the paper bag. Then, he went to the restroom.

Qiao Yuxian held the paper bag, watching his back.

She touched the Peace Pendant on her wrist and thought: Grandpa, Grandma, look, I really married a person who can run across half the city in the morning to buy breakfast for me.

After a while, she smiled. Holding the paper bag and humming a little tune, she went to the dining room.

After breakfast, Gu Yanjing went to work, and Qiao Yuxian took care of the wilting potted plants that Shang Chen had tormented.

While styling the potted plants, she heard a car arriving outside.

She glanced at the entrance of the living room, put down the scissors and went to the door.

Then... she saw Shang Yue standing by the car, and Lu Mengyi getting off the car.

Qiao Yuxian looked at Shang Yue, whose face seemed to drop to the ground, and the cool and lightly smiling Lu Mengyi.

Lu Mengyi looked at her and said, "Got some time? Want to go out and play?"

"Huh?" Qiao Yuxian, dressed in home attire, loose and casual, with her hair casually pinned up, made a little sound.

"Just consider this my apology for yesterday’s matter," Lu Mengyi said.

Qiao Yuxian’s long eyelashes fluttered.

Huh???!!!

She thought she was just being polite!

How did she really come!

Moreover! Who says it one day and comes the next!
