Song Ning nudged him: "This is the study."

Xie Linzhou's lips curled into a malicious smile as he breathed hot air into her ear: "What's wrong with the study? I'm going to stay here..."

Xie Linzhou made a scene in the study for a long time, and the account books on the desk fell to the ground and no one paid any attention to them.

After they were done, Song Ning glared at him and said, "You're not allowed to come again tonight."

Xie Linzhou was somewhat reluctant, but seeing that Song Ning was unhappy, he did not insist.

Song Ning went to bed very late that night, and got up as soon as it was dawn the next day when Xie Linzhou went to court.

At noon, the family received a message that Xie Linzhou had a business dinner today and would not be coming home for lunch.

That's perfect, so Song Ning didn't go back for lunch.

Before, I wasn't too busy, but whenever Xie Linzhou came home, I had to have dinner with him. Today, I don't have to go home.

Xiao Cui made a list of what the shop needed and showed it to her; there were no problems.

"The cloth from Yongning County should arrive in the next few days, so please keep an eye on it."

"Don't worry, boss."

"Also, how's the recruitment thing you mentioned last time?"

"We've made progress; the brokerage firm should be able to send the person over soon."

Song Ning nodded; she trusted Xiao Cui's abilities.

"By the way, did you agree to hire two maids for the household?"

"It's already agreed. The shopkeeper said he'll bring the person along."

It was lunchtime, and the two returned to Xiangyun Tower to eat. As soon as they went upstairs, Xiaocui pointed downstairs and said, "Master, look, isn't that the son-in-law?"

Song Ning glanced down and saw that it was true; there were two men and a woman beside him, one of the men being Xia Shiyang.

They came to eat too?
