After assigning tasks, Jing Zhe prepared to go out.

Pushing the door open, I saw Wu Pin standing at the door, supporting his back and muttering to himself.

Jing Zhe looked at the simple-minded man and asked, "How is it? Are you being honest?"

"honest."

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head again. "He was being naughty at first, so I imitated the young chieftain and kicked him a couple of times, and he behaved himself."

"..."

Jing Zhe looked at Hanhan speechlessly, thinking to himself, "You kicked him once, which is equivalent to me kicking him a million times. And you even kicked him twice?"

"Wu Pin, are you alright?"

Wu Pin, clutching his aching back and panting heavily, said, "You, surnamed Jing, I don't believe a servant would dare to be so audacious. You ordered this, didn't you? You're just deliberately retaliating against me, aren't you?"

Even if you beat Wu Pin to death, he wouldn't believe that a simple-minded follower would dare to kick him.

Jing Zhe shook his head: "Actually, I wanted to say no, but if you insist on thinking that way, I won't object. Let me tell you again, this is my territory, and you have to listen to me."

"..."

After saying that, Jing Zhe took Hanhan out. Wu Pin stared at his back, his teeth almost grinding to powder: You wait, just wait and see how I complain to my grandfather tonight!

However, he quickly ran into the house, intending to find someone to inquire about the monkey's whereabouts!

Although I've argued with Jing Zhe many times, I have to say...

This monkey smells delicious!

...

It was almost lunchtime when I left the Da'an newspaper office.

Upon reaching a fork in the road, Jing Zhe stopped, looking slightly hesitant.

Walk straight ahead, and after crossing two more streets, you'll reach the Prime Minister's Residence.

If you turn into the street below and go through three alleys, you will reach Wuxian Garden.

"Young Master, shall we go to Wuxian Garden?"

Hanhan has already been able to guess some of his young master's thoughts. He didn't go to Wuxian Garden yesterday, so how could he not go today?

"Why would you go to Wuxian Garden in broad daylight?"

Jing Zhe felt embarrassed that his thoughts had been guessed by the simpleton: "Let's go to the Prime Minister's residence for dinner!"

"oh…"

Upon entering the front courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence, one could see the chubby little boy, Zhu Tangwen, playing alone.

"Little Fatty!"

The chubby boy looked up and saw Jing Zhe. The fear he had shown earlier had lessened considerably, but he still timidly said, "Big Brother..."

"Hmm, where's your sister?"

"After returning from court, he went to the backyard."

"Oh. Then I'll go find her."

She was about to leave when she suddenly noticed a pitiful look in his eyes, so she stopped and asked, "Still want to fly?"

The chubby boy nodded repeatedly.

So Jing Zhe pointed at Hanhan and said, "Let him carry you, I guarantee he'll be much better than yesterday's guy!"

With his robust and simple physique, plus his martial arts skills, although he can't carry Zhu Tangwen and leap across rooftops, he can definitely jump much higher than Chen Jiannan did yesterday.

So the two of them happily went off to play...

Jing Zhe walked alone toward Zhu Xinning's courtyard.

The courtyard gate was open, and a rope hung between two sturdy osmanthus trees in the yard. Zhu Xinning, unlike her usual style, was wearing a fluffy pink home dress and was lazily swinging on it, her little feet kicking aimlessly in the air, looking just like a carefree and innocent girl.

Jing Zhe quietly walked in, came up behind her, grabbed the rope and pushed hard, and Zhu Xinning flew up.

"Hmm~"

Even her screams sound pleasant to the ear.

Startled, Zhu Xinning glanced back and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Jing Zhe, but still scolded, "Put me down quickly!"

She doesn't know martial arts, so even though the swing rope is very long, she only swings a very short distance each time. She's never flown directly into the air like she did just now.

Fortunately, she felt better after seeing that it was Jing Zhe, but she didn't dare to continue like this and told Jing Zhe to stop immediately.

"That's so exciting!"

Jing Zhe wanted to tease her, so instead of stopping, he used even more force to send Zhu Xinning flying into the air again.

Perhaps out of shyness, Zhu Xinning didn't call out this time. She bit her lip and glared at Jing Zhe with hatred, her body seemingly trembling.

Seeing this, Jing Zhe knew she was truly frightened, so he quickly came to the front, opened his arms, and said, "Second sister, just jump down."

"..."

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I can catch you."

"..."

At this moment, the swing's power was getting weaker and weaker, and Zhu Xinning was no longer as afraid as before. But for some reason, she still listened to Jing Zhe. When the swing reached its highest point again, she leaped and flew towards Jing Zhe.

If you can't catch me, I'll... kill you!

Then he closed his eyes.

The next moment, she landed squarely in Jing Zhe's arms.

At this moment, the maid Xiangru, carrying a teacup, walked out. Upon seeing this scene, she quietly retreated, muttering, "Don't look at what is improper, don't look at what is improper..."

When jumping from a height into someone's arms, the subconscious action is exactly what Zhu Xinning is doing now—her arms tightly wrapped around Jing Zhe's neck, and her legs tightly wrapped around Jing Zhe's waist.

This move... is very powerful.

Jing Zhe almost lost control, but he also found it very funny.

"Second sister, is it really necessary to be so afraid?"

He patted her on the back as he spoke.

Zhu Xinning then opened her eyes, and after noticing her indecent posture, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly got off him.

Then she gently tapped him: "Zhe'er, how could you be so mean? You even bully your older sister!"

"hey-hey!"

Jing Zhe smiled and said, "Women love bad boys!"

"What?"

"I didn't say anything. I was just joking with my second sister. I never expected her to be so timid."

Zhu Xinning tidied her slightly disheveled hair from jumping and said seriously, "I thought I wouldn't see you today!"

"Can't see her? Why? I'm going to see my second sister every day from now on, she won't be able to avoid seeing me even if she doesn't want to!"

Honey-tongued Zhe instantly went online, and before Zhu Xinning could catch her off guard, she was captivated once again, feeling warm all over.

"You think you're so eloquent!"

She rolled her eyes at him before saying, "I thought you'd be quite sad since your fifth sister left today, and wouldn't want to come over for a while!"

"Sadness? Not at all. Once I see my second sister, how could I possibly have anything to be sad about?"

Jing Zhe laughed heartily, unaware that his words had angered Zhu Xinning, who snorted coldly, "You heartless bastard!"

After saying that, she ignored him and prepared to go inside.

"..."

Jing Zhe was taken aback and quickly stopped her, asking in confusion, "What's wrong, Second Sister? I came to see you, are you still angry?"

"snort!"

Zhu Xinning snorted coldly, turned around and sat on the stone chair, puffing out her cheeks and not saying a word. Jing Zhe was even more confused.

At this moment, Xiangru came out carrying a teapot.

"Oh, young master, you've come! I've just brewed a pot of the finest Jiangling clear water tea. Please have a taste!"

As she spoke, she poured him a glass.

After finishing his drink, Jing Zhe gestured towards Xiang Ru with his lips and whispered, "Did you upset my second sister?"

"..."
