Qiao Xi just couldn't understand why Qin Yang would invite his little cousin to stay at his place.

These two met for the first time today; they'd never met before. How did they suddenly become 'roommates'?

Qi Jincheng readily agreed, "Go ahead."

Du Xinyu asked with a delighted look, "Brother, you agree?"

Heh, your brother couldn't be happier than that, Qiao Xi couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Qi Jincheng said, pretending to be serious, "It's your freedom to go wherever you want."

"Then I'll go pack my things now." Du Xinyu got up impatiently and rushed to his room to pack.

Qiao Xi's gaze followed him upstairs, and then she whispered with a hint of unease, "Is everything alright?"

"What's the problem?" Qi Jincheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

Qiao Xi knew that Qin Yang was not a bad person, and her little cousin was not a girl, so she didn't have to worry about being taken advantage of. But why would Dr. Qin so easily agree to let a strange man move into her home?

A very bold idea suddenly popped into Qiao Xi's mind, and she boldly asked Qi Jincheng, "Honey, Dr. Qin... does he... have a thing for women...?"

Qi Jincheng seemed reluctant to get involved and shook his head slightly, saying, "I don't know much about his affairs."

"Will my little cousin be in danger?" Qiao Xi asked hurriedly.

Qi Jincheng frowned slightly and said, "Are you worried about him?"

Qiao Xi sensed the jealousy in his tone and calmly explained, "After all, the person left from here. What if Auntie comes looking for us..."

"Has he been here?" Qi Jincheng asked abruptly.

Qiao Xi immediately followed his train of thought and said seriously, "I don't know, when did he come to the capital?"

After they finished speaking, the two exchanged a knowing glance, almost giving each other a high five.

Qiao Xi didn't forget to call out to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, help Young Master Du pack his things."

Upon hearing this, Du Xinyu immediately refused, saying, "No need, I can take care of it myself."

No sooner said than done, Du Xinyu carried his luggage downstairs, and it was clear that he was in a very good mood.

He didn't even seem to have any lingering attachment to the place as he said goodbye to Qi Jincheng and Qiao Xi, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm off now."

"How are you going to get there?" Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask with concern.

Du Xinyu replied honestly, "Take a taxi."

"What's the address?" Qiao Xi asked again.

Du Xinyu replied cheerfully, "Dr. Qin has already sent it to me."

"Then be careful on your way." Qiao Xi waved to him without saying anything more.

After waving goodbye to them solemnly, Du Xinyu resolutely left.

From the moment he said he was going to Qin Yang's place to the moment he packed his bags and left, less than an hour had passed, and it felt somewhat unreal.

However, Qiao Xi still had a feeling that, "Why do I feel like I'm sending him off to get married?"

Qi Jincheng casually added, "He's not young anymore."

Qiao Xi smacked her lips and asked again, "Shouldn't we offer something in return?"

"What does Xi'er mean?" Qi Jincheng asked with some curiosity.

Qiao Xi immediately straightened her back and said, "I'm not his mother, it's not my place to decide."

This time, the two high-fived without any hesitation and then went back inside.

Xiyuan Villa, in the southern suburbs.

Yan Luoheng likes quiet and pleasant places like this. Xiyuan Villa is a villa he built on a piece of land he bought in Beijing many years ago. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and few people come here. Not many people know about this place.

Sitting on the observation deck, Yan Luoheng savored Biluochun tea while enjoying the night view.

This reminded him of a night a year ago, only not here, but a similar scene, and some things that happened between him and Xiao Jiu that he still fondly remembers.

Just then, a voice that seemed out of place in the scenery reached his ears, "Master, here is the information you requested about Miss Jiu'er's movements during this period, as well as some information about the people around her."

Upon hearing this, Yan Luoheng gestured to him, and the man immediately handed him the documents.

Upon seeing certain information, Yan Luoheng murmured to himself, "Junshang Group."

The man immediately replied, "Miss Jiu'er is the granddaughter of the chairman of Junshang Group, as you already knew."

“Of course I know, but…” Yan Luoheng hesitated, a sharp glint flashing in his deep eyes, “What is Jun Wuwei’s real purpose in bringing her back?”

Listening to his meaning, the man cautiously asked, "Master, do you suspect that Jun Wuwei has ulterior motives for bringing Miss Jiu back at this time?"

Yan Luoheng murmured again, "They've been separated for over a decade."

The man thought Yan Luoheng's words made sense, and then he thought of something else, "Master, are you sure that thing isn't on Miss Jiu'er?"

"You mean..." Yan Luoheng looked at him knowingly.

The man boldly speculated, "Could it be that Jun Wuwei instructed her to steal that item back?"

Yan Luoheng gazed into the distance with a deep look in his eyes, muttering to himself, "Jun Shang's situation is very dangerous recently, and it's not impossible, but that thing is too conspicuous. Even if it falls into their hands, it won't be of any use."

"Could it be that they're doing private deals with some buyers?" the man speculated boldly again.

Yan Luoheng casually instructed him, "Keep an eye on things."

"Yes," the man replied respectfully.

Yan Luoheng turned to the next page, and a photo immediately caught his attention. "Who is this person?"

After glancing at it, the man replied, "Qiao Xi, the eldest daughter of the Qiao Group, has been getting very close to Miss Jiu'er lately."

"Are they classmates?" Yan Luoheng asked him to confirm.

The man replied affirmatively, "Yes, we're classmates."

Yan Luoheng took a few extra glances at the photo. "Anyone who can become friends with Xiao Jiu must be extraordinary."

"I'll check it out." The man immediately understood what Yan Luoheng meant.

"No need." Yan Luoheng took it as a rebuke, a deep look returning to his eyes. "I'll meet her myself tomorrow."

Qiao Xi, Jun Jiuge, and Li Xiaoxiao sat in a row. Li Xiaoxiao was originally sitting in the front, but she gave up her seat in the front so that she could be with Qiao Xi and the others.

But at this moment, Li Xiaoxiao really wanted to go back to her original position!

No, she wanted to run to the front row even more, because her idol professor was about to come in!

As everyone eagerly awaited, the legendary handsome professor finally appeared!

To be honest, Qiao Xi couldn't help but look at him a second time after seeing him for the first time. However, in her eyes and in her heart, there was already the most handsome man in the world, so no other man could catch her eye.
