"Where is she?" Xie Jingrun asked, his eyes darkening. That brat, she actually tried to fob him off with food from a restaurant.
"The waiter at Wangchunlou said that the old lady had lunch there and should still be there now," Steward Tian replied.
Xie Jingrun frowned and said calmly, "I understand. Put the dishes down and leave."
"Yes." After the steward and his servants placed the dishes on the table one by one, they withdrew.
Xie Jingrun originally had little appetite, but after sitting down and seeing the dishes on the table, which were all his usual favorites, a subtle sense of pleasure arose in his heart.
At least that woman still knew to order some of his favorite dishes.
A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.
...
After finishing their meal at Wangchunlou, Rong Qingqing and her group parted ways with Manager Liu and the others.
Shopkeeper Liu took the embroiderer back to the shop to continue working, while she took Aqi and Xiaotao to look at houses.
She had asked Manager Xu to help her find a suitable house last time, and he had already found several. She happened to have some free time today, so she took some people to take a look.
After looking at several houses, she finally chose one that was relatively close to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence.
The house wasn't big, with only one courtyard, but it was quiet, so she planned to let Tao'er and Aqi stay there temporarily.
In the future, she will recruit more useful people to serve her.
After completing the house sale procedures, she took Ah Qi to buy some daily necessities.
"Ah Qi, you'll be living here from now on."
Ah Qi asked hesitantly, "What about the girl?"
“I will be staying at the Marquis of Weiyuan’s residence for the time being.” Rong Qingqing said, then took out a purse and handed it to him. “It’s not good to be without some money. You can take this for now.”
Ah Qi refused to accept it, frowning as he said, "Since you don't live here, how can I repay you?"
Rong Qingqing said meaningfully, "Although I don't live here, you still have things to do. You need to continue practicing your martial arts and be available whenever I call. I just don't have anything to ask you to do right now, but that doesn't mean I won't in the future. There's a saying, 'An army is raised for a thousand days to be used in one.' Ah Qi, you must practice your martial arts well."
Ah Qi seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to, but he kept her words in his heart.
"I understand, I will practice my martial arts until I succeed. I will go immediately if you give me any instructions."
"That's good. You can settle down here from now on. I'll come to see you when I have time. Don't be lazy, okay? I'll test your martial arts skills then," Rong Qingqing said.
"Don't worry, girl, I won't slack off," Ah Qi said earnestly.
Rong Qingqing looked at his handsome face and felt very happy. He was such an honest and straightforward boy.
"Oh, by the way, another girl will be moving in later. Her name is Tao'er. You can ignore her, but don't bully her," Rong Qingqing instructed.
Ah Qi felt a little uncomfortable upon hearing this, "A girl will be moving in?"
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing teased him deliberately, "Yeah, what's wrong? Haven't you ever spent time with a girl before?"
Ah Qi shook his head. "No."
Seeing his blank expression, Rong Qingqing decided not to tease him anymore and simply said, "Don't worry, Tao'er is a good girl, she won't bother you."
Ah Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand."
Rong Qingqing took the sword she had just bought from the weapons shop from Xiao Tao and handed it to A Qi. "This sword is for you to practice martial arts. But I don't know if it's good or not. Just make do with it for now. If you come across a better one in the future, I'll get you a replacement."
