As long as it's her decision.
Leng Lie naturally had no objections.
What's more, this courtyard still belongs to her.
When the two leisurely returned, Secretary Song was already waiting for them.
As soon as he saw them return, he greeted them with a smile, warmly shaking hands with Leng Lie, but his gaze was fixed on Guan Yuxi.
"Xiaoxi must be exhausted. You should rest for the next couple of days."
If you want to visit relatives and friends, you can make those arrangements first; other things aren't urgent for now.
No rush?
Guan Yuxi's brow furrowed slightly.
Their trip to Kyoto wasn't to visit relatives or friends!
Secretary Song clearly knew this, yet he still hinted at it to them. What unexpected event had occurred?
Guan Yuxi had no way of guessing.
Because she didn't even know which deity had issued the decree for her trip to the capital!
"We will consider it. Thank you for the reminder, Secretary Song."
Leng Lie frowned, declined Secretary Song's invitation to a welcome dinner for them, and pulled Guan Yuxi back to their room.
Guan Yuxi kept thinking about what Secretary Song really meant as she walked.
That probably wasn't his intention, or perhaps the wider their network, the more advantageous it was for them?
Guan Yuxi's heart started pounding.
Without realizing it, she clenched her fist, her sharp nails digging into her palm.
"Relax, Xixi, it's not a big deal."
Leng Lie took her hand, tenderly pried open her fingers, and gently kissed away the bloodstains on her hand. "Don't be afraid, we'll face this together."
No matter what, I will always be with you.
"Tomorrow, no, tonight we'll go find Leng Liangyu."
Seeing that he seemed flustered, Guan Yuxi's emotions immediately calmed down.
She knew he didn't want to have anything to do with his father anymore, so how could she bear to make things difficult for him because of her own affairs?
"No need, we'll go find them tomorrow!"
"Remember that old man in white who came to our house to pick up his notebook?"
Leng Lie certainly remembered.
However, given that person's status...
He should know they went to Beijing. The fact that they didn't come looking for him means he doesn't want to see them right now!
Previously, Leng Lie might not have known his identity.
But over the past year, as I've come into contact with more things and broadened my horizons, I've come to think back to those few people from back then.
He already had a vague suspicion in his mind.
Moreover, Master Guan had told him quite a few things back then, so comparing the two is helpful.
The man's identity was almost obvious.
But what can they do if the other party doesn't want to see them?
You can't stick it on with a hard sticker!
Guan Yuxi smoothed away the worry between his brows.
"Don't worry, I have a plan."
"You didn't eat at our house for free, and you didn't drink with us for nothing!"
Although she wasn't a big shot, she had eaten and drunk her food and drinks, and owed her money.
Trying to play both sides? There's no such easy way out!
"Tomorrow, let's go see Fang Yuan. It will save us a lot of trouble if he handles this."
Guan Yuxi's lips curled slightly, and she had already made up her mind about a plan.
After resting and eating their fill, the two headed to the ghost market.
"I'm stuffed."
She stroked her round belly.
In this era, there are no hot pots, soup pots, or dry pots.
However, since they were in Kyoto, the couple were willing to spend money.
In addition, the ingredients are of the highest quality and freshest, so the chefs not only use the best ingredients, but also meticulously craft each dish.
The taste of Peking duck was also much, much better than in later generations.
The crispy and fragrant oil-based skin is golden and melts in your mouth, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste.
The duck meat is tender and not dry, with a chewy texture and a fragrant aroma.
There was also duck bone soup, milky white and fragrant, which made her, who loves soup, drink three big bowls.
Before she traveled through time, she had also eaten in Kyoto.
The star-rated hotel was luxuriously decorated and offered excellent service.
But the roast duck, which cost nearly 300 yuan, was not only greasy and mass-produced, but the duck meat was also tough and even had a faint earthy taste. Guan Yuxi thought that she had spent a lot of money on it, so she couldn't bear to throw it away and was too embarrassed to pack it up. She could only ask for a bowl of vinegar to dip it in and barely managed to eat some.
Nothing compares to the fragrance we have now!
Leng Lie looked at her with amusement, "You drank too much soup, you'll be hungry soon."
After we've finished exploring the ghost market, let's go get some late-night snacks.
Of that huge roast duck, she probably only ate about one leg.
She gave him the rest.
Guan Yuxi couldn't help but glance at him sideways.
They just arrived in Kyoto today.
Why does it seem like he came to scout the place beforehand?
"You came to Kyoto when you were on a mission?"
Guan Yuxi couldn't help but ask.
Leng Lie shook his head, "This is my first time here too."
However, he had already memorized the map of Kyoto before he came.
Where are the department stores? Where are the delicious foods and fun activities?
He had already found out exactly which areas they would be going to.
Seeing her confusion, he laughed and said, "Otherwise, why do you think I didn't go to see you those two days you were busy at the factory?"
If it weren't for something more important, he wouldn't have been willing to leave her.
Guan Yuxi suddenly realized.
She said that he seemed busier than her those two days.
"You're a really good assistant."
Guan Yuxi directed him to come closer and planted a kiss on his face.
I initially thought he had gone astray, as I was too busy to focus on the garment factory those days. I never imagined he was already looking further ahead.
"That's right, because I signed a contract to sell myself into servitude."
