Chapter 279 Don’t Like Me, I Won’t Live Long (Part 3)
Assistant Mu passed the matter on.
Xi Jiu opened WeChat and clicked into Ruan Qi's chat window. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly asked, "How's the progress on Bai Yi's side?"
"The system is already being repaired." Assistant Mu pushed up his glasses. "After Butler Gong sent Bai Yi over there, he has been locked in his room without leaving. He said yesterday that the system situation is more complicated than expected, and he will ask Tianlu to send another person over."
Xi Jiu: "Have you found those people who betrayed Tianlu with Xuehong?"
"We found a few. They were too scattered, and it will take time to find them all."
Xi Jiu hummed, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
Assistant Mu tiptoed out.
The office was very quiet.
After a moment, the man slowly opened his eyes.
He scrolled the mouse and clicked on a video on the computer——
In the video, the man in white was fully armed and followed Gong Qiqi into the building step by step.
Xi Jiu stared at his back closely.
His expression was gloomy and unclear.
…
In the next few days, Xi Jiu transformed himself into a breakfast delivery man, appearing at Ruan Qi's door on time at 6:30 every morning.
Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, all kinds of breakfast were different, and Nie Heng and the two dogs gained a lot of weight from eating so much.
Ruan Qi, on the other hand, had a small appetite and could not gain weight no matter how much she ate. This made Xi, the breeder who was determined to feed the little white rabbit, a little frustrated.
"Mr. Xi," the little girl put down her chopsticks and took advantage of the time when Ruan Munan and Nie Heng went to the kitchen to stretch out her little claws and pull the man's clothes.
Xi Jiu turned his head, looked at her intently, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
When the little girl heard his gentle voice, her face couldn't help but blush.
She scratched her sleeves with her fingers twice and whispered, "Mr. Xi, you really don't have to come and deliver breakfast every day. I..."
She paused, then looked up at Xi Jiu.
The man's facial features were perfect. Perhaps because he was used to a cold expression, his eyebrows and eyes were sharp. But his eyes were gentle, as tolerant as the sea, making it impossible for the girl to say no to him.
Ruan Qi suddenly remembered what Shen Wenqian said in the car that day -
Why could she reject her previous suitors so easily, but she was so conflicted when it came to Mr. Xi?
The little girl, who had only six of her seven orifices open, never figured it out, but she felt that she shouldn't have dragged on for so many days without giving Xi Jiu an answer.
She wanted to tell him, don't like me, I won't live long, and I might die one day.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
Not only could I not express it, but I also felt a sour and uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
Thinking of this, Ruan Qi felt a little depressed.
Xi Jiu was originally waiting for her to speak, but gradually, he found that the little girl's eyes were red!
The man's heart seemed to be pierced by a needle.
He didn't care that Ruan Munan and Nie Heng were still at home, and quickly lifted the little girl's chin with his fingers.
"Why are you crying?"
Ruan Qi looked at Xi Jiu, his eyes full of heartache and worry.
The little girl felt even more upset.
"Mr. Xi," she bit her lower lip, feeling particularly aggrieved and pitiful, "I..."
“What are you doing!”
Ruan Munan's cold voice interrupted her.
Ruan Qi was startled, and her little face, which was lifted by Xi Jiu's fingers, quickly leaned back, but she used too much force and almost fell off the chair.
Xi Jiu and Ruan Munan were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped.
The two men reached out at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, grabbing the little girl's arms.
Ruan Xiaoqi, who was rescued, didn't care about being sad. She raised her little paws and patted her chest in fear.
So scary!
…
A false alarm once again interrupted the conversation between Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu.
There were still two days left before the filming of "Fairy Love" started. Ruan Qi was busy packing up and his attention was successfully diverted to work.
"Senior Sister, the second batch of Tianwang Hair Growth Pills for the Third Hospital has begun to be prepared. How are the preparations at the shop?"
"The contract with the decoration company has been signed." Ruan Qi threw a few clothes into the suitcase. Barley Baby sighed humanely and took out the messy clothes and folded them.
The little girl patted it on the head with a smile, then said to Nie Heng, "Mr. Xi introduced me to this decoration company. They're very reliable. The shop renovation will take about a month. Little Dog, remember to supervise the work."
Nie Heng made an 'ok' gesture.
At this time, Ruan Qi's cell phone on the table rang.
She looked down at her third grandfather.
The little girl raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Third Grandpa Ruan Zhen is Grandpa Ruan's brother, and the two old men have a very good relationship. When Ruan Qi was little, Third Grandpa often played with her.
However, ten years ago, he was taken to the imperial capital by his daughter Ruan Chunhua to live out his retirement, and since then the contact between the two families has become less and less.
It was not until Ruan Qi came to the imperial capital a few months ago that she saw the old man again.
The old man was still very kind and treated her like his own granddaughter. It was also for this reason that Ruan Qi never told her family about what Ruan Chunhua had done.
Third Uncle doesn’t contact her very often, so why did he call today?
The little girl muttered something in confusion and pressed the connect button.
"Hello, is this Xiaoqi?" The old man's kind voice came from the phone.
The little girl's eyes curved, and she said sweetly, "Third Grandpa, I'm Xiaoqi~"
Ruan Zhen smiled happily.
"Xiao Qi, I heard from your aunt yesterday that you were in a car accident. How is it? Is everything okay? Are you seriously injured?"
"It's okay, Third Grandpa," Ruan Qi replied obediently, "It's just some scratches, they're all healed now. Don't worry, Third Grandpa~"
Ruan Zhen: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay. Be more careful next time. By the way, Xiaoqi, do you have time these days? Third Grandpa wants to see you in person to feel at ease!"
"Third Uncle, I have to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow. How about I come to your house to see you tomorrow?" the little girl said softly.
"Okay, okay!" Ruan Zhen was overjoyed. "Xiao Qi, Third Grandpa knows a really delicious restaurant. I'll take you there for a feast tomorrow!"
After agreeing on a time for tomorrow, Ruan Qi hung up the phone with a smile.
Nie Heng: "Senior Sister, what if we run into Ruan Chunhua when we go to your Third Grandfather's house tomorrow?"
"You're silly, little dog," the little girl patted him on the head, "Tomorrow is Wednesday, she's at work."
"Oh, that's right." The puppy laughed foolishly twice, revealing two dimples on both sides of his cheeks.
…
The next morning, Ruan Qi changed her clothes and went downstairs carrying her bag.
Ruan Munan saw that she was dressed to go out, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Xiao Qi, where are you going?"
"Let's go to Third Grandpa's house." The little girl put on her coat. "Third Grandpa called me yesterday and said he missed me."
Ruan Munan hummed softly, "I'll take you there?"
"No need, brother." Ruan Qi smiled at him, raised her little paw and shook the key, "I have little eyelashes."
Ruan Munan smiled gently.
Just then, the little girl's cell phone rang.
She looked down and saw a text message -
Third Grandpa: Xiaoqi, Third Grandpa has already left the house. Please come directly to the VIP building.
