At a certain moment, Xue Huan suddenly pushed him away: "Oh no, Xiaobao should be awake by now. I promised to go back and feed him."
Pei Ji: “…”
Xue Huan hurriedly tidied her clothes and hair, and pulled the sad and resentful man away.
Xiaobao had been awake for a while. When he didn't see Xue Huan, tears immediately welled up in his eyes and his mouth pursed. He looked so pitiful.
When Xue Huan came back and saw him, her heart softened instantly. She immediately went forward to hug him and kissed him several times, "Don't cry, little treasure."
Xiaobao felt relieved immediately when he saw her and pointed to his stomach, "I'm hungry."
Mrs. Huo had already prepared the milk, using the milk powder that Xue Huan brought with her. The milk had a rich and fragrant smell, and even adults couldn't help but feel greedy. Unfortunately, Xiaobao didn't see Xue Huan and refused to drink it.
Xue Huan took the milk and fed Xiaobao one spoonful at a time.
Mrs. Huo watched from the side with a loving face, and from time to time she reached out to wipe Xiaobao's mouth.
Pei Ji felt quite uncomfortable when he saw the two most important women in his life circling around a little baby.
Xue Huan saw him staring at her, her expression filled with jealousy and sourness. "You're not trying to snatch the milk from Xiao Bao, are you?"
Pei Ji: “…”
Mrs. Huo turned around and waved at him in disdain: "Go away! Don't stand here, you're blocking the light."
Pei Ji: It’s confirmed, as long as that little baby is around, he will be the one who falls out of favor!
So, when Xiaobao finished drinking milk and filled his little belly, and was ready to have a good kiss with his mother, Pei Ji stretched out his big hand and hugged him, "Come on, cousin will take you out to catch butterflies."
Xiaobao was taken away with a dazed look on his face, his little hands unconsciously reaching towards Xue Huan.
Huo and Xue Huan looked at each other, both finding it a little funny.
Pei Ji is such an adult, but he is still jealous of a little kid?
"Hehehe..." In the yard, Pei Ji and Xiaobao were playing a game of lifting each other up high. As Xiaobao went up and down, he was so happy that he kept making clear and innocent laughter.
Xue Huan and Mrs. Huo sat in the corridor, watching the two men, one big and one small, having fun, and couldn't help but smile.
"Hanhuan, tell me what happened after Akang lost his memory."
"OK."
While Xue Huan was telling the story, Mrs. Huo would add a few words from time to time, talking about some interesting things in Pei Ji's childhood. Xue Huan also got to know Pei Ji better through this.
After a day, the relationship between the two had become much more harmonious and familiar.
Two days later, Pei Ji left Fengchi with the storage bag Xue Huan gave him.
The storage bag was made from the space capsule obtained from the belly of the spiral turtle. The space capacity was as big as a room, and Xue Huan stuffed it full.
She prepared clothes, food, books, etc. for him. She even put a tent and a bed in it so that he could take them out and rest when he had to sleep outdoors on the road.
"I'll come to find you after I've arranged things here." Xue Huan said to him before leaving.
In response to her, Pei Ji gave her a hug that made him want to rub her into his body and a deep kiss that made him want to swallow her up.
Thinking that they would not see each other for a long time after this separation, she did not refuse, and even hugged his neck and responded to him enthusiastically.
This response made Pei Ji even more unable to control himself, and he almost killed her on the spot.
Finally, relying on his immense self-control, he let her go, his eyes blazing with heat. "Hanhan, I'll wait for you."
He kissed her deeply between the eyebrows and walked away without looking back.
Because he was afraid that if he turned around, he would not be able to help but take her away with him.
Xue Huan patted her hot cheeks, calmed her heartbeat, and started to get down to business.
She owns three businesses, one of which is Zhao Ji. Now Zhao Ji does not only refer to the snack shop on the main street, but also includes the Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant, Yingxianlou and Zuifenglou in cooperation with the Ye family, as well as the ice cream shop.
Now that these shops are getting bigger and bigger, they must be reorganized. She plans to integrate these food-related shops together and set up a Zhaoji Food Store as the headquarters, and the snack shops, hot pot restaurants, restaurants, ice cream shops, etc. as branches, which will also be convenient for management.
If you want to open another shop in the future, just place it under the head office.
This is one thing.
Chen Tian is in charge of the foundation, so she basically doesn't have to worry about anything.
Feng Xian, He Shen and others are watching over the school, so nothing serious will happen.
But as the boss, she can't just stay away forever. Now she is not sure how long she will be away, but she estimates that the time will definitely not be too short, so she has to show up from time to time.
With the Five Elements Beads, she didn't have to spend much time traveling between the capital and Fengchi, but it did consume a lot of spiritual energy. And spiritual energy was converted from purple energy, so the more she used, the less she had, so she had to save whenever possible.
After much deliberation, Xue Huan decided to refine a puppet clone and let this clone stay here in her place. The clone can share with her what is happening here, and she can also remotely control the clone's actions. Perfect!
However, it is not so easy to refine a clone. First of all, the materials are not easy to obtain.
It requires water-essence lotus stems as tendons, thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood as bones, ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow as blood, Xirang as flesh, seven-hole exquisite stone as heart, and fire-essence amber beads as eyes. Only when these six kinds of natural treasures are gathered together can the refining process begin.
There are five elemental spirits in the world: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each is nurtured by the power of the corresponding five elements. Water spirits are born in places with abundant water and can be considered aquatic spirits that absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon.
It has no fixed form, but usually appears in the form of humans or animals. It is rare to see it in plant form, and it has to be a lotus, which makes it even harder to find.
She has no idea about the thousand-year-old soul-nourishing tree and the ten-thousand-year-old chalcedony.
As for Xirang, she already has it in her space, so she doesn't need to look for it everywhere.
At least I have one of the six types.

While Pei Ji was still on the road, the news that "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive" had already reached the capital.
This was like a thunderclap exploding above everyone's heads.
People like the emperor, the eldest prince, the second prince, the imperial concubine and others were all confused and worried, and even had a faint fear in their hearts.
The most important reason why Pei Ji did not take any action after the Huo family was wiped out and was willing to be escorted out of the capital without resistance was that the queen was still in the palace and was almost regarded as a hostage by the emperor to threaten him.
For the safety of his mother, Pei Ji could only show weakness temporarily and leave the capital in order to prepare for the future.
The saying "even a tiger won't eat its own cubs" is totally inappropriate for the emperor. As for his son Pei Ji, who has half Huo family blood in his body and is growing stronger and threatening his position, the emperor wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.
He even expected Pei Ji to rebel, because he had already made arrangements. As long as Pei Ji made any move, he could immediately accuse him of treason and regicide, and then kill him with justification!
Unfortunately, Pei Ji did not get what he wished.
