When Xie Wei and the other two returned home, they were surprised to find everyone there. Since they had planned to stay at the Su family's house for three days, Xu Daiwei and the others were waiting for Xie Wei to return.
Su Miaomiao had someone send the Su family's guzheng back and put it in her room.
When Li Ning brought up this matter, Su Miaomiao seemed to remember something, and responded with a slightly flushed face. The women all keenly sensed that something must have happened, and their eyes couldn't help but turn to Xie Wei.
Xie Wei, who was taking tea leaves from the freezer in the kitchen, suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and goosebumps appeared on his skin.
I glanced at the freezer, then at the tea in my hand, and then at my own body. Maybe I should be a little more moderate?
"You did it too, right?" While the others were listening to Su Miaomiao talk about the interesting things that had happened in the past three days, Lin Qingying asked Su Tang softly.
Su Tang played with the Qingxin pendant around her neck, glanced at Lin Qingying sideways, and replied indifferently, "What are you talking about?"
"Ha, don't pretend. I don't believe you'd let such a good opportunity slip by."
"Um"
"So calm, that's not like you," Lin Qingying said, seemingly surprised by Su Tang's reaction. "As for Third Brother, you're not the kind of person who can resist showing off."
Su Tang fell silent and rolled her eyes at Lin Qingying. She thought everyone was as shameless as her. How could she brag about something like that? The impression was too deep. Just thinking about it made her feel hot.
Lin Qingying had a sudden inspiration and leaned closer to Su Tang, saying, "You're not... shy, are you?"
Seeing Su Tang pause in her fiddling with Qingxin's hand, Lin Qingying knew she had guessed correctly and held back her laughter.
"Get lost," Su Tang simply replied with one word.
Seeing this, Lin Qingying stopped provoking Su Tang. Just then, Su Miaomiao started talking about Xie Wei's fight with the fourth master of the Su family, and all the women listened attentively.
When they heard that Xie Wei was being beaten by the fourth master of the Su family and was dressed in rags, the women couldn't help but look at Xie Wei, who had already started boiling water, with worried expressions.
He had naturally heard Su Miaomiao's story and understood the reason for the women's worries, so he gave a wry smile.
"I'm fine. Miaomiao's description is a bit exaggerated."
Su Miaomiao stuck out her tongue and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. We couldn't see how you guys were fighting at all. When you stopped, you were indeed dressed in rags and looked quite miserable. It was hard not to worry about you."
Xie Wei washed the teacups and slowly recounted what had happened, while Su Tang and Su Miaomiao added some details from the side.
"My husband is so...so amazing!" Li Ning exclaimed when she heard Xie Wei deliberately fight to a draw with the fourth master of the Su family.
Xie Lan nodded in agreement, looking quite proud.
"And then? And then? What happened to Su Zhu?" Lin Qingying asked Su Miaomiao curiously.
"What happened?" Su Miaomiao tilted her head, puzzled.
"What happened to my brother after his duel with the Fourth Master of the Su family?"
"I didn't notice," Su Miaomiao replied, turning her head around as if she had been thinking about it seriously.
Lin Qingying then looked at Su Tang.
Su Tang watched Xie Wei brew tea, completely ignoring her, wanting to tell Lin Qingying that her gaze would only be on Xie Wei.
"Oh, that's a pity." As she finished speaking, Lin Qingying suddenly noticed a resentful gaze and her body trembled.
She knew perfectly well who the gaze belonged to, and thought to herself, "Oh no," and sure enough, she heard it right afterward.
"What's there to regret? Xiao Qingying, tell Third Brother in detail," Xie Wei stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Qingying. "Are you very interested in Su Zhu?"
Xu Daiwei immediately ran into Xie Wei's arms, hugged his neck and coaxed, "No, no, I'm only interested in Third Brother. I'm just curious about what Third Brother looks like when he's jealous."
"But now that I've seen it, it's very cute."
Hearing Lin Qingying's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Xie Wei rolled his eyes, patted her bottom, and told her to get off. Although he wasn't really angry, her words made Xie Wei not want to talk to her.
Lin Qingying chuckled. Knowing he wasn't really angry, she took the opportunity to kiss the corner of his mouth, smiled, and then returned to her seat.
Xu Daiwei, standing to the side, pinched the flesh on her waist. When Lin Qingying's gaze turned to her, her eyes held a hint of disdain, as if to say, "You just want to take advantage of this to steal your own brother, don't you?"
Lin Qingying returned a triumphant look, clearly indicating to Xu Daiwei, "Yes!"
Xie Wei noticed the exchange of glances between the two, picked up the freshly brewed tea, took a sip, and found the temperature just right, with the sun shining warmly.
Meanwhile, inside the National Security Bureau, Ye Yan was anxiously replying to someone's message on his phone when suddenly his door was opened.
"Boss!"
Ye Yan was startled. The phone danced in his hand for a moment before landing steadily in his palm. He looked up and saw that it was Han Lie.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Yan turned off her phone, as if nothing had happened.
"Xiao Qi found out that a group of people recently entered Nancheng, and after that, Nancheng began to riot, with gangs fighting in various places." Han Lie placed a document in front of Xie Wei.
"I reckon those people are our target this time."
"Can we find out the other party's identity information?" Xie Wei flipped through the document.
"Xiao Qi is still investigating, but so far none of the people they've found are related to evil cultivators. Third Brother said that our previous assumptions might have been wrong, and the other organization might have more members than just evil cultivators."
Ye Yan nodded. Indeed, some of the people involved in the Wandu Ruins incident were not evil cultivators, and he had taken that into consideration.
Han Lie was about to leave after finishing his report when Ye Yan's words stopped him in his tracks.
"Hey... Fourth Brother, do you know how to win a girl's heart?" Xie Wei asked, puzzled.
Han Lie sensed a hint of gossip, but since the other party was his boss, he didn't want to pry. So he tentatively said, "I don't know. How about I ask your second sister? Girls understand girls best, right?"
Just as Ye Yan was about to pick up his phone, he heard Han Lie's words and suddenly stopped. He then pretended to be normal, shook his head, and meant that he didn't need it.
Seeing this, Han Lie assumed there was something going on between him and Zhou Yaoxia. He gave Ye Yan a knowing look and made a gesture of zipping up his mouth before leaving.
Ye Yan didn't know if Han Lie had misunderstood something, but he was having a bit of a headache as he looked at his phone.
The content on the phone was a chat with Liu Feifei. Although I knew he was busy with his own things, I sensibly didn't ask him what he was doing.
But he's been out of contact for days, not saying where he went, making her worry unnecessarily. And they haven't seen each other much during his recent trips back to the capital, which has made her a little resentful.
Ye Yan scratched his head, and finally replied directly, "I'm coming to find you now."
After sending that message, he scratched his head and prepared to leave.
He's not the kind of jerk who doesn't cherish what he has. Since he understands what the other person means, he should respond to the relationship.
