Chapter 289 Ultimate Notes Zhang Qiling 22

"That really is Haixuan. I wonder why she hasn't come to find us. Is she deliberately avoiding Wuxie? Is she afraid that Wuxie will ask about Third Master's affairs?" Fatty Wang guessed reasonably.

Wu Xie walked up to Fatty Wang and said, "It can't be that bad, can it? Hai Xuan is the kind of person who, even if she lies to me, would never avoid me."

"That makes sense." Fatty Wang nodded, agreeing with Wu Xie's assessment.

Zhang Qiling picked up the suitcase and went back inside to unpack it.

Wu Xie glanced at his retreating figure and followed after him. He was also curious about what Zhang Haixuan had sent over, and whether his third uncle had asked him to bring it to him.

Unfortunately, he could only be disappointed.

"Miss Haixuan's craftsmanship is truly exquisite," Yun Cai praised, thinking of the sachet's craftsmanship.

"Not only is her skillful, but she's also as beautiful as an angel." After praising her, Fatty Wang realized that Yun Cai might misunderstand, so he added, "She and Xiao Ge are a perfect match."

"Huh?" Yun Cai asked, puzzled.

"Brother's wife!" Fatty Wang said with a straight face, but he felt a little guilty inside.

For the sake of his lifelong happiness, he told a little lie. After all, the young man was too handsome, and Hei Xiazi had mentioned that the Zhang family practiced endogamy.

The Zhang family's intention in having Zhang Haixuan follow the younger brother is quite clear.

Moreover, he could tell that something was off between the two, especially during the night watch in the rainforest, whenever he got up to use the facilities or to change shifts.

Whenever it's Xiao Ge and Zhang Haixuan's turn, eight out of ten times, Zhang Haixuan is sound asleep leaning against Xiao Ge!

Unfortunately, the young man lost his memory; poor Haixuan...

Zhang Qiling, who was climbing the stairs with keen ears, was taken aback when he heard their conversation.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Wu Xie asked, puzzled, looking at Zhang Qiling who had stopped.

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, went back to his room, and opened his suitcase.

Inside was a letter and several medicine packets and porcelain bottles, containing all sorts of things: medicine for treating external injuries, repelling mosquitoes, detoxifying, and tonics for Zhang Qiling.

Wu Xie saw that the letter was addressed to the clan leader, so he didn't touch it and waited for Zhang Qiling to open it.

Zhang Qiling tore open the letter and saw that it contained only a few words.

Something came up back home, see you another day.

Feeling inexplicably disappointed, Zhang Qiling handed the letter to Wuxie, who was standing beside him. This time, the disappointment was felt by both of them.

Crescent Hotel

Zhang Haixuan propped her head up with one hand and cracked sunflower seeds with the other, looking down at Wuxie, who was confronting Liuli Sun.

Suddenly, Zhang Haixuan's eyes lit up when she met Zhang Qiling's gaze, and she waved enthusiastically in greeting.

Zhang Qiling paused for a moment, then nodded and turned his gaze back to Liuli Sun.

"The clan leader doesn't even remember you, so why are you being so enthusiastic?" Zhang Haiyan leaned back in his chair, sipping his tea.

The rising heat fogged up his silver-rimmed glasses.

"We're evenly matched!"

The clan leader doesn't remember either of them; they were treated the same, the elder brother never mentions the younger brother.

Zhang Haiyan was, after all, a centenarian, so he naturally knew Zhang Qiling, the clan chief.

"But having gotten used to seeing the clan leader in hoodies, it's a bit too good-looking to suddenly switch to a suit."

Zhang Qiling was dressed in a black suit. Her skin was very fair, but unlike her previous paleness, it had more color in it, probably due to the medicinal candy she had given her and the tonic she had sent to Banna.

With a slender figure, delicate features, and a detached, profound gaze, he exudes a mysterious, aloof, and otherworldly aura, like a deity newly descended to earth, making him impossible to ignore.
