At three o'clock in the night;
Everyone had returned to their rooms and fell asleep. Fu Linxiao opened his tightly closed eyes, without any trace of fatigue in them.
He looked down at the little girl in his arms, and seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he slowly and carefully got up.
He tiptoed to the living room, but without turning on the lights in the room, he took out his cell phone and found the information he had asked Yingyi to investigate before, and then dialed the number on it.
"Uncle Dong, it's me. Fu Linxiao."
Before the person on the other end could ask, the man introduced himself the moment he answered the phone.
"Mr. Fu, what happened so late at night?"
It was obvious that the person on the other end was very confused about this late-night call.
On weekdays, Fu Linxiao always discussed previous matters with Chen Xu and others. Now that he had contacted Dong Zicheng directly without warning, he still felt uneasy and awkward.
"I want to discuss with you the matter regarding Dong Jiaxue and Aunt Mei."
Fu Linxiao made no attempt to conceal his purpose and stated it directly. His intuition told him that Dong Zicheng would agree with his approach. After all, this was the only way to force these two to show up.
As expected, as soon as the words fell, the other party replied without hesitation: "Mr. Fu, you can just tell me what you think. I believe you!"
The voice was calm and powerful, without any hesitation. Although he had expected this result, the man's trust still surprised Fu Linxiao for a second.
Immediately, as if he remembered something, he actually showed a slightly self-deprecating smile.
"Uncle Dong, I'm too narrow-minded. Thank you for your trust. I'll let Tianyu tell you the detailed action plan tomorrow. It's too late, so I won't bother you anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Linxiao pondered for a moment, turned around and prepared to go back to his room to rest; but as soon as he turned around, he saw the little girl who should have been still sleeping in bed was staring at him.
A sense of guilt came over me.
"Ning'er, when did you get up?"
"When you and Uncle Dong introduced yourselves!"
Jiang Luoning noticed the man's uneasiness, but still didn't care; he yawned and stretched; there was no displeasure in his tone of voice, pretending to be indifferent and approached Fu Linxiao.
"Um, did you hear that?"
The man became even more nervous after hearing this. Although he was sure that the little girl had heard everything, he still asked about this difficult topic without giving up.
Jiang Luoning raised her eyebrows and looked at the man who was feeling uneasy at the moment. She just felt that Mr. Fu, who was usually so majestic and feared in the imperial capital, was very cute at this moment when he was trying to make up for his loss. For some reason, she even had the urge to tease him.
"Well, what do you think?"
"Fu Linxiao, when will you change your bad habit of not discussing things with others?"
She curled her lips into a faint smile, and her words were slightly coquettish. Fu Linxiao was really confused by the little girl's behavior.
He repeatedly observed the little girl's expression, seeing no sign of anger, and asked tremblingly and uncertainly, "Ning'er, are you not angry?"
Jiang Luoning put her hands on her hips, lowered her head and raised her eyebrows to squinting at the man, pretending to be very angry and said in a tantrum: "Angry! How can I not be angry! I'm angry that you woke me up in the middle of the night!"
Fu Linxiao still didn't react to the little girl's gesture, which was somewhat ambiguous, and Xu Xushanyou's gentle coaxing;
"Then you don't blame me for hiding it from you?"
"A little bit, but aren't you worried that I won't agree and take risks yourself?"
With his IQ back, Fu Linxiao finally realized that he was being teased by the little girl again.
Seeing that Jiang Luoning was really not angry, he finally felt relieved. He walked to her side, pulled the little girl who was still puffing her cheeks and pretending to be angry, and hugged her in his arms; his chin rubbed her messy hair left and right, and the doting look on his face was hard to suppress.
"You! You really know me so well. I really can't do anything with you."
"Okay, go get some rest first! We'll talk about these things tomorrow. Now's the time for my little girl's beauty sleep!"
After he finished speaking, before Jiang Luoning could say anything to refuse, he felt his feet hanging in the air and his whole body was wrapped in the man's arms.
She was carried back to the bed again. Smelling the unique scent of a man, Jiang Luoning no longer resisted and fell asleep peacefully in Fu Linxiao's arms.
The next morning;
The little girl woke up slowly and heard a rustling sound coming from the living room. Through the crack in the door, she saw that everyone was gathered there. On the other side of the computer were Han Tianyu and the Dong family father and son.
Without time to think, Jiang Luoning couldn't wait to push open the door and join the discussion, completely ignoring his current confused state.
Before the people in the living room could see what was happening, Jiang Luoning felt a gust of warm wind blowing towards him, and then he was pushed back into the bedroom.
She raised her eyes and looked at Fu Linxiao, who had a gloomy face, and blinked innocently, as if asking why the man behaved like this?
Seeing this, the man did not respond, but instead scanned the little girl from head to toe with his sharp eyes.
"Just going out like this?"
Senhan's cold and emotionless words completely sobered Jiang Luoning.
"Ah! I! I'm so anxious! I'll go wash up now!"
After saying that, Jiang Luoning rushed into the bathroom as if running for his life, leaving Fu Linxiao standing alone at the door, frowning in thought.
When Jiang Luoning appeared in front of everyone again, everyone seemed to have finished their conversation and were discussing a banquet and arranging media and other related matters.
The little girl looked up in confusion, her tangled eyebrows seemed to be asking Fu Linxiao beside her what was going on. Between her eyebrows, one could see Jiang Luoning's complaints about the man.
"Please sit down first."
He sat down reluctantly and listened to Han Tianyu on the other side of the video talking about the following arrangements. Dong Zicheng also agreed with him, but Chen Xu's eyes were full of worry.
"Tianyu, we will set off back to the imperial capital tomorrow. We will leave the matters here to Wilding and Heishan."
"Okay, let's discuss the rest when we get back. I'll go arrange for the media first!"
Han Tianyu answered without hesitation. Jiang Luoning stared wide-eyed and glanced back and forth at the people who ignored her. After not getting any attention, she walked over to Ah Xing, pinched the boy's ear, and growled in frustration.
"Tell me, what did you just plot behind my back?"
"Sister! It hurts! How could we carry you? It was my brother-in-law who called you several times, but you didn't get up, so we started to discuss it!"
He was listening to the conversation between the two seriously when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ears. The boy then noticed his sister's unfriendly gaze and heard her complaints, feeling wronged.
