"Hey, if you've been home the whole time, why didn't you come to the Yue family's party the other day?" Xu Zhaoyue assumed he had gone to school because he hadn't attended the party; otherwise, given his personality, he would definitely have gone if invited.
Fang Jingshen gets angry when he talks about this. He didn't go, but later he found out that Xu Zhaoyue brought a very handsome butler with her, which made him very envious.
"Don't even mention it. My brother wouldn't let me go. He said that people have to pay a visit in person before they can properly establish a relationship. But you know what, Uncle Yue actually came, and the two of them talked for a long time."
“Really? Actually, the Fang family and the Yue family have connections in the capital, right? There will be plenty of opportunities for them to interact in the future,” Xu Zhaoyue said.
After the meal, Xu Zhaoyue realized that the Yue family was making arrangements quite quickly. She would soon have to talk to Uncle Yue the Second. She just didn't know what her father's attitude was towards the Yue family. He had said a lot of nice things to them at the last banquet.
"When we get back, I'll have the kitchen cook you a late-night snack. It's almost nine o'clock." Xu Zhaoyue glanced at her watch. She should have let Yue Lanxing go out for dinner earlier; she'd been busy in the house all this time.
Yue Lanxing felt alright. He had eaten something before coming out and wasn't too hungry now. "I can take care of myself. I ate something before coming out, and I'm not comfortable having the hotel staff serve me in the room."
"Indeed, it was too rushed this time. I didn't expect him to receive the call just then. I ate too much, so I'll go for a walk to digest later." Xu Zhaoyue touched her belly, feeling rather cute.
Yue Lanxing took her words to heart and went back to eat. Xu Zhaoyue thought he was just forcing himself to eat and that she should be more careful next time and not let him go hungry.
When Xu Zhaoyue finished resting and took Doubao to digest her food, Yue Lanxing also ran over with Qingying. Yue Lanxing took Qingying with her when she went to eat, and when she came back, she was able to help Qingying find Doubao's location.
Qingying ran alongside Doubao as soon as she arrived. Xu Zhaoyue noticed the two ropes were twisted together and subconsciously looked at Yue Lanxing.
The two of them made eye contact, and Yue Lanxing received the signal. He went around behind Xu Zhaoyue and began to untie the rope. The rope was specially designed with an opening half a meter away from the head. Yue Lanxing untied Qingying's rope and tied it to Doubao's rope.
This way, Qingying and Doubao wouldn't get tangled up running around. "Alright." After tying them up, Yue Lanxing went to get the rope, but Xu Zhaoyue wanted to hold it herself. "Here, you take the back." Xu Zhaoyue handed him the rope from the back.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lanxing gripped the remaining section of the rope in her hand. "Where does Miss want to go for a walk to digest her food? There are too many mosquitoes in the forest; even lighting mosquito coils won't help much."
"I'll just take a walk around outside. I always feel like something's following me when I go into the woods at night, so I'm not going in." Xu Zhaoyue shook her head repeatedly, her whole body expressing her refusal.
Then the two of them walked towards the roadside. Yue Lanxing walked inside, closer to the woods, while Xu Zhaoyue walked under the streetlights. The night breeze was neither too hot nor too cold. "What a rare and pleasant time," Xu Zhaoyue said, looking up at the stars in the sky. She looked around but couldn't see the moon.
Xu Zhaoyue suddenly turned around and saw the moon behind her. "Hey, I knew it! Where did the moon go? It was right behind me."
