Xu Shi is a very methodical person.
For example, even if he said he was going to visit Cheng Gujian, he would have to wait until he had eaten and drunk his fill and gone to the daily necessities wholesale market before setting off.
The main reason was that the time for their meeting was just right, and since it was a gathering with gifts to make friends, it was not appropriate to make a big fuss... He had just caused such a scene in the court during the day, and it wouldn't be good if someone saw him having a secret meeting with someone at this time.
Fortunately, Miss Xiaomei had already arranged everything. While he was working, the gifts were quietly transported over via a hidden path that was not easily noticed.
Xu Shi was increasingly impressed by this girl's competence; despite her seemingly rough and burly appearance, she was surprisingly meticulous...
"It's a pity you're not a man, otherwise I would definitely become sworn brothers with you."
After listening to the other party's report, he sighed with feigned regret.
That's exactly what a scoundrel of a man should say.
If you're good-looking, then we might as well have some deeper conversations; if not, then the topic will veer off to swearing brotherhood...
"It is my honor to be able to be brothers with my benefactor."
Xiao Mei was momentarily confused, but upon hearing this, she simply laughed heartily and said, "You take your time packing, I'll go arrange the carriage."
No, being brothers with me won't end well... Xu Shi chuckled self-deprecatingly, went back to his room, and tickled Xia Wuyou, who was still immersed in the afterglow of the moment. "Get up, my wife? Come with your husband?"
"Hmm, let me lie down a little longer..."
Xia Xiaomao grumbled a complaint and reluctantly sat up.
Why is it always like this? He's still so weak and yet he's already ordering people around... It was the same when he tested Shen Qin before. Bad men are really pure capitalists.
But she also knew that she was Xu Shi's only capable bodyguard at the moment, so her complaints were just words; her body still had to be honest and get moving.
"Chengcheng, stay here and watch the house. If those three naughty kids come back late, you can deal with them for me."
"Okay."
Jiang Chengcheng hugged the quilt and took two deep breaths, her face flushed as she replied, "I also need to discuss the configuration of the conductor with Miss Xiaomei. Rest assured, my husband."
Only after Xu Shi had left with Xia Wuyou did she slowly get up.
Playing with Xia Wuyou is fun, but it's been a long time since I've had Xu Shi all to myself... I still need to find an opportunity to discuss it with her when she comes back, and maybe we can each have a day next time?
After washing up and getting dressed, she ran into Xie Qingyan in the hallway as soon as she stepped out.
"Oh? Xu Shi didn't take you with him?"
The shrewish woman glanced at her with interest, her tone sarcastic and laced with sarcasm, "Looks like you're unwanted too."
It's not that she was being sarcastic; the main problem was that the soundproofing in this inn was terrible! The dilapidated wooden house couldn't block out any noise at all, and these people were having so much fun that they didn't know how to control themselves!
She may lack experience, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have the desire for it. Who wouldn't be in a good mood if they couldn't listen even if they wanted to?
That's enough!
"Everyone knows in their heart who is unwanted."
Jiang Chengcheng wasn't going to let her get away with it. She sneered and retorted, "You can fool me, but don't fool yourself too."
She had never actually liked Xu Shi, her so-called fiancée, not out of a sense of crisis or anything, but simply because she knew that the other party had tried to harm Xu Shi on several occasions in the past.
To be fair, few can match Jiang Chengcheng's loyalty to Xu Shi. Just for that reason alone, she can't stand Xie Qingyan. Their previous collaborations were only unavoidable academic ones. In essence, she still viewed things with prejudice, always feeling that this guy was hiding some bad intentions.
I didn't expect you to dare to jump the gun first? Giving you a couple of sharp words is the least I can do!
"you!"
Xie Qingyan, ever the quick-tempered cat, lost control upon hearing this. "You little...you little frog, don't be so insolent! Xu Shi and I are childhood sweethearts, aren't we better than you, a half-baked offspring?!"
"Is that so? Then I just think you've gotten even worse."
This kind of harmless banter had absolutely no effect on Jiang Chengcheng. The cute insults even made her want to laugh. "Aren't Ah Lin and Chairman Xu childhood sweethearts? Why doesn't Chairman Xu seem to be wary of her?"
*Pfft*
That's the sound of a sword piercing the heart.
The woman felt like she was about to spit out blood, but she still forced herself to retort, "What does it matter to me whether he's on guard or not? Can't I live without him?"
"Yes, you have a point."
Jiang Chengcheng spread her hands, "If that's the case, then why are you in such a hurry?"
Bang--
Complete victory!
After a series of punches, Xie Qingyan couldn't even control himself and took two steps back.
Damn it, you can't refute that at all!
Honestly, who is she anyway? For years, no one has dared to confront her so directly and leave her speechless... Xu Shi was one, and Jiang Chengcheng is the second.
These words, coming from Jiang Chengcheng's mouth, were even more hurtful than coming from that scoundrel Xu Shi's mouth, after all, their statuses were different.
Tsk, what a sharp-tongued little girl!
Xie Qingyan was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder, but as she got angrier, the sense of defeat in her heart gradually overwhelmed her anger.
Her expression visibly dimmed, and her complaining muttered with a hint of grievance, "I... I've already gotten back together with him, and I've already apologized... What more do you want from me..."
That's true. Ever since the "Twins" were released, she hasn't secretly tripped up Xu Shi anymore. At most, she'd make a few sarcastic remarks, right? And on every other matter, wasn't she on his side?
