After 놛 finished speaking, he turned his head away and stretched out a long arm to pass his coat to her. From the angle of looking up, one could only see 놛's angular profile and the stern curve of his jaw.

The moment Pei Manning saw clearly that the person coming was Han Jingchen, her face turned pale.

Why did Han Jingchen suddenly appear here? How was she going to explain where the powder came from? How was she going to explain how she dealt with a strong man?

Han Jingchen had always suspected her...

Pei Manning clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with her fingers. She was even more nervous than when she found someone climbing over the wall in the middle of the night. She didn't even care about the pain in her lower back. She was torn between her conscience and her desires, wondering how she was going to get away with it this time.

It was not until she heard Han Jingchen's voice and saw 놛 turn his head away and hand her the clothes that she came back to her senses from her shock and confusion.

Put it on?

Pei Manning looked down and realized that her collar had been opened without her knowing when, revealing her big chest, white and tender skin, and soft and plump curves. Her face instantly turned red.

She raised her hand and fixed the collar of her clothes, but the buttons were already undone. She then took Han Jingchen's coat and quickly put it over her clothes, covering herself completely.

As soon as Han Jingchen spoke, Zheng Geng, who was originally grimacing in pain, looked over and slumped over on the table, holding his waist. His eyes were so swollen that he could only barely open a slit. For a strong man over 1.5 meters tall, he looked both pitiful and ridiculous in this state.

"Brother Chen?" Zheng Geng stared blankly at Han Jingchen standing in the middle with swollen eyes.

No, why did Brother Chen kick you?

And what about that grandson who hit me with a club? I have to cut him down today!

Han Jingchen's tall and straight figure blocked 깊놛's sight. 놛 couldn't help stretching her neck to look behind Han Jingchen, and saw a beautiful girl with fair skin, rosy cheeks, as charming as peach blossoms in March. She was wearing Chen's coat, her hands clutching the buttons of the collar, and she was sitting on the ground with a tense look on her face.

Zheng Geng was stunned for a moment.

What the hell? It's a woman.

That grandson... No, he was so cruel, I thought he was a man!

So, how can a 1.4-meter-tall old man face shame after being beaten up like this by a delicate woman?

Zheng Geng's face suddenly changed.

놛 looked at Han Jingchen, who had a serious and cold expression, and then looked at Pei Manning, who was hiding behind 놛. Just as she was about to ask something, she was suddenly pulled up by Han Jingchen's clothes.

"Come out, I have something to tell you." Han Jingchen grabbed 놛 and took him out.

"No, Brother Chen..." Zheng Geng was dragged out by his tie before he could finish his words.

Han Jingchen and Zheng Geng walked to the yard outside the house.

It was very quiet outside. Only the moonlight was shining lightly on the ground. The cold winter wind was blowing on my face, making me feel a little cold.

Zheng Geng held his waist and limped behind Han Jingchen, looking back into the house every few steps. Then his eyes, swollen into two slits, flashed with a hint of doubt as he looked back and forth between Pei Manning and Han Jingchen.

After walking a long way, Han Jingchen suddenly spoke: "Didn't you receive the package and letter I sent you?"

Zheng Geng rubbed his lower back and took a breath of cool air. Brother Chen was really ruthless. His kick was sharp and decisive. Fortunately, the place where he kicked was thick and not easily damaged.

"A letter?" Zheng Geng was stunned for a moment before asking, "When was it sent?"

"Ten days ago." Han Jingchen said.

Zheng Geng's face was a little ugly. He knew without guessing that his aunt had stolen the things, but there was no need to let Han Jingchen know about these things. He would clean them up after returning. He shook his head and said, "It was probably delayed on the way. I left for Nanjing two days ago. Maybe I just missed it."

Han Jingchen saw that 놛 had been holding his waist, and frowned: "How is the injury?"

"It's okay, just apply some medicated wine and it will be fine." This little injury is nothing, it will be healed in two days. In the past, I often practiced against Han Jingchen, and I was beaten badly.

At this point, he pointed to the direction of the closet and said, "Hey, Brother Chen, what...what's going on?"

No way, no way, has a serious and proper person like Brother Chen also learned to hide his beauty in a golden house?

In this age where any little thing will be criticized, and any closeness between men and women will be accused of sexual misconduct, Brother Chen is really brave!

"Brother Chen, our sister-in-law is really good-looking, even prettier than the people in the movies, but she looks a little older!"

Han Jingchen saw that he had wrong thoughts, looked uneasy, stretched out his leg and kicked him, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The kick was not heavy, Zheng Geng dodged it immediately, but accidentally twisted his waist and hissed, "I haven't said anything yet? Brother Chen! Don't be angry because of embarrassment!"

Zheng Geng's words became more and more outrageous.

Han Jingchen told the whole story with a cold face, then narrowed his eyes suspiciously and asked, "How did you get up?"

When I arrived, I saw that the door was locked, but I heard a sound of something being smashed inside, so I jumped over the wall and rushed in.

Han Jingchen's night vision is very good, after all, he often performs missions in the dark.

As soon as he entered, he saw Pei Manning bump into the cabinet. Zheng Geng turned over and was ready to kick her. With the momentum of a bull, this kick could directly break several of Pei Manning's ribs.

Not to mention Pei Manning's weak body, her heart is also not in good condition, and she might even kill someone.

Han Jingchen didn't think twice before rushing in and kicking Zheng Geng away.

Speaking of this, Zheng Geng's face became unnatural. Could he admit that he was beaten up like this by a little girl?

That is absolutely impossible!!!

But that girl was indeed quite powerful, even though she looked delicate, even a martial artist like him almost fell into her trap, so Zheng Geng hesitated for a moment.

Han Jingchen said coldly: "Hurry up and tell me."

…

After half an hour, Han Jingchen and Zheng Geng came back.

Pei Manning couldn't help but look at the expressions of the two people, trying to figure out what to say.

However, Han Jingchen's expression was as unpredictable as ever, his eyes were dark and others could not detect anything from them. But Zheng Geng's expression was a little strange, with swollen eyes, like a big frog, looking at Pei Manning for a while, and then looking at Han Jingchen.

Pei Manning couldn't see any signs from the expressions of the two people, so she could only remain calm and squat on the ground to slowly pack her things.

"Comrade Pei, right? I'm sorry that you broke some things. Let me help you clean them up." Zheng Geng quickly squatted down and picked up the bookshelves and boxes that had been kicked over.

It's really embarrassing to cause such a misunderstanding.

While packing up, 놛 introduced the relationship between himself and Han Jingchen.

Han Jingchen didn't say a word, but half-knelt on the ground, quietly picking up the books, pottery jars and other things, and put away the broken things.

This made Pei Manning a little uneasy.

It took the three of them more than ten minutes to tidy up the closet. This place was Pei Manning's bedroom, and it was not convenient for two grown men to stay in there for too long, so they went to the main room.

Pei Manning handed Zheng Geng a hot towel, looked at his swollen eyes, and said, "Apply it. It will be fine tomorrow."

"Comrade Pei, what kind of flower is this? Why does it smell so pungent?" Tears burst out of his eyes. Now his eyes are so swollen that he can't open them at all. Not only his eyes, but also his nose hurts a little.

Zheng Geng took the hot towel and asked curiously, "I have never smelled such a strange floral scent before."

"It's not a flower, it's the seeds of the hibiscus. This is what happens when you grind it into powder and sprinkle it in the air." Pei Manning said.

Zheng Geng looked confused: "What is this?" Is there such a plant? Why have I never heard of it before? Is it some kind of traditional Chinese medicine?

Pei Manning handed a bag of seeds to him and said, "This is it."

Of course she had never seen it before. This thing was a plant from the Sumire Realm. She didn't know what it was called, but the flower looked like a hibiscus, and each branch had seven leaves, so she called it "Seven-Leaf Hibiscus".

Han Jingchen took the paper package and saw that there were more than a dozen thumb-sized black seeds inside. He took it in his hand and squeezed it. It was a little hard. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Manning: "Where did you come from?"

Han Jingchen didn't know what it was, but there were so many strange plants in the world, including sap that killed people instantly, fruit that exploded when touched, and leaves that hurt people so much that they committed suicide when touched...

Therefore, it is not surprising that there is such a fruit powder that can make people cry.

What surprised her was why there was such a thing in Pei Manning's body?

Pei Manning said slowly, "I found it in a waste station when I was buying old newspapers a few days ago. It was wrapped in an old newspaper and pressed in the middle of a pile of newspapers along with its seeds. I've seen this kind of thing in Daqing Mountain before, so I recognized it and bought it together with the newspaper."

Han Jingchen looked at her deeply.

During this period of time, Pei Manning did not come into contact with any suspicious persons. No matter how Han Jingchen guessed, he could not guess that there was such a thing as the Xumi Realm, and he did not even have such a concept at all.

"Can you give me two seeds?" asked.

As for Pei Manning's words, he neither said he believed her nor he said he did not believe her.

Pei Manning nodded: "Of course."

…

Zheng Geng was originally going to stay in Nanjing for three days, and he was planning to stay temporarily in the courtyard during these three days, but now Pei Manning is here, and it is not convenient for him to stay here at night.

Han Jingchen took 놛 to the guesthouse in the 깊 camp first.

Pei Manning breathed a sigh of relief only after the two of them left.

I don’t know whether Han Jingchen believes her words?

Every time she told a lie, Pei Manning felt her scalp tingling, because every lie she told would require countless lies to cover it up, not to mention someone as wary and suspicious as Han Jingchen. Once the day came when she could no longer cover up her lies, it would all be over.

She had to think of a foolproof plan as soon as possible to completely dispel Han Jingchen's suspicion of her!

However, she soon had no need to worry about this, because the art publisher finally sent her a reply letter.
