Hearing this voice, Chen Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Because this voice was not Xu Ruolan's, nor was it Li Xiuning's, nor was it An Ruxue or Yang Ying'er's.
But it was Lu Qiqi's voice!
Chen Xuan immediately stood up from the bed and opened the door. As expected, he saw Lu Qiqi standing at the door.
"Sister Qiqi, what's wrong?"
Chen Xuan saw that Lu Qiqi's face was a little restrained and uneasy, which made him a little confused. Why did Lu Qiqi make such an expression?
"Mr. Chen, I want to go back to Jiangnan next month." Lu Qiqi said.
Chen Xuan suddenly discovered that there were a string of tear marks on her face.
This means she must have cried just now!
"What happened?" Chen Xuan asked.
Lu Qiqi shook her head gently, obviously unwilling to say more, but from the tear marks on her face, it can be seen that she must have experienced something big!
"I know you must have been through something. If you want to go back to Jiangnan, I won't stop you, but the premise is that you have to tell me what happened, otherwise I won't let you go back to Jiangnan."
Chen Xuan frowned and spoke with a serious expression.
Of the eight women around him, Lu Qiqi was the quietest one and she usually spoke the least.
She is a quiet and introverted person, and rarely talks to people around her about anything.
No matter what injustice you suffer, you have to bear it alone.
So sometimes you have to push her.
Lu Qiqi was still shaking her head, but after Chen Xuan's repeated requests, she finally told him the reason.
It turned out that after arriving in Nancheng, he wrote a letter and sent it to his home in Jiangnan.
There was no need for Chen Xuan to stop writing letters to his family. It was human nature to report safety to his family.
After her family learned that she was safe, they actually started asking her for money one after another.
At the beginning, it was dozens of taels of medicine. Fortunately, Chen Xuan gave her a lot of pocket money.
A few dozen taels of silver were nothing, and she didn't need to spend any money here, so she sent most of her money back home.
But I didn't expect that the money my family asked for would increase, from a few dozen taels of silver at the beginning to hundreds of taels of silver later.
Today, a letter was delivered, asking for two thousand taels of silver.
The content of the letter was very strong, and the two thousand taels must be sent to the house next month.
Where did Lu Qiqi get the two thousand taels of silver? Moreover, even if she had it, it was impossible for her family to give it directly if they asked for it.
So now she knocked on Chen Xuan's door and said she wanted to go back home.
The reason why she chose to return next month instead of now was because one of the brothels that Chen Xuan had converted into restaurants needed her to take care of, so she had to deal with these matters before returning to Jiangnan.
"I thought it was something important."
Chen Xianghehe smiled, and then said, "Since your family wants two thousand taels of silver, why don't I ask Xiuning to give you two thousand taels?"
As long as it can be solved with money, it’s not a problem.
Lu Qiqi was completely stunned. She just came to talk to Chen Xuan about this matter and not to ask him for money. However, she never expected that Chen Xuan would give her two thousand silver directly without asking about the reason from her family.
"Mr. Chen, that's not what I meant..."
Lu Qiqi waved her hands quickly, she was embarrassed to take the money.
"You've already given me so much. I feel guilty about taking this money."
Hearing this, Chen Xiang suddenly flicked his finger on her forehead.
Lu Qiqi felt pain and immediately held her forehead, looking at Chen Xuan in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly wanted to hit her.
"What do you mean you feel guilty about taking this money? My money is your money. Since it's your money, spend it however you want."
"Tapping your forehead is just a small warning. Don't ever say such unpleasant things again. We are all family."
After saying that, Chen Xuan grinned, revealing a harmless smile that looked very sunny and bright.
He really treated Lu Qiqi as his own.
And it was at this moment that Lu Qiqi looked at Chen Xuan, and suddenly an inexplicable throbbing surged in her heart.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her was so good.
He was so good that she felt she would never meet a better man than Chen Xuan in her life.
Lu Qiqi's eyes suddenly became moist.
"Silly girl, why are you still crying? I rescued you from the Chen Mansion so that you can live happily and peacefully, not so that you can cry in front of me."
Chen Xuan reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his voice very gentle.
If it were in the past, if Chen Xuan reached out and had physical contact with her, Lu Qiqi would have stepped back in fear.
But now, for some reason, when Chen Xuan's warm and powerful hand touched her cheek, she felt her heart beating fast.
Not only did she not reject it, but she felt that Chen Xuan's hand was very warm.
At this moment, it seemed that as long as Chen Xuan made any request, she would accept it without hesitation.
[Ding!]
[Detected that Lu Qiqi's favorability increased by 10]
[Lu Qiqi's favorability reaches 66]
[Congratulations to the host, Lu Qiqi's favorability has exceeded 60, and the reward is a one-level increase in cultivation]
Suddenly, the system prompt sounded in Chen Xuan’s mind.
Moreover, a cracking sound was heard from the keel of Chen Xuan's spine.
In an instant, a tremendous force burst out from Chen Xuan's body.
His cultivation level directly increased from the seventh level of martial artist to the eighth level of martial artist!
Only a few hours had passed since his last breakthrough!
For a moment, Chen Xuan was ecstatic!
He simply hugged Lu Qiqi's cheeks with both hands and couldn't help but kiss her hard on the face.
Lu Qiqi felt as if she had been electrocuted and stood there in a daze.
"Well……"
At this time, Chen Xuan also noticed that his behavior just now might have crossed the line.
But he was really too happy and didn't mean to take advantage of Lu Qiqi.
"Ahem, sister Qiqi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, but just now, uh, I suddenly couldn't help myself."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Chen Xuan's face, and he didn't know how to explain it.
It’s impossible to tell Lu Qiqi that my system has just helped me break through the realm again, so I was so happy that I couldn’t help but kiss you.
Although this reason is true, in Lu Qiqi's opinion, it is simply nonsense!
"fine……"
Lu Qiqi's face was flushed. At this moment, she felt her heartbeat was accelerating, so fast that she could even hear her own heartbeat.
Moreover, Lu Qiqi felt that her whole body was burning!
