“There are some things we should discuss whether or not to inform Master Weng,” Hong Ling said with a serious expression.
"Alright, let's come in and talk." Huang Xi opened the door, and the girls went inside.
Qingqing told everyone everything about Cao Jin's rude remarks that day.
Huang Xi jumped up and said nervously:
"Really? If that's the case, then that guy must be someone with a very powerful background?"
"Sit down first and listen to what Fifth Sister has to say," Hong Ling said calmly.
Huang Xi sat down obediently, and Qing Qing continued to talk about how Gu Liyan had stepped forward to solve the problem for him, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.
"I knew it, this guy is no ordinary person!" Green Embroidery said with a solemn expression.
"We don't know what he's up to at the Fengchen Restaurant, so we'd better be cautious," Cheng Xi said, frowning.
"When Sixth Sister comes back, have her investigate his background. If he dares to have bad intentions, we'll eliminate him!" Hong Ling said coldly.
Upon hearing Hongling's words, Qingqing suddenly stood up, looked at everyone with displeasure, snorted coldly, and angrily turned to leave.
"Why does Qingqing throw a tantrum so easily?" Green Embroidery said, pouting.
Hong Ling frowned. "She's still young and doesn't know how wicked people can be. It seems that Gu Liyan's help has won her favor."
"Compared to Sixth Sister, she's just a clueless child!" Green Embroidery said irritably.
"Don't worry about her. Sixth Sister will have a solution when she gets back," Hong Ling said, frowning. She was clearly also unhappy with Qing Qing's attitude.
The group discussed for a long time before dispersing.
The next morning
Huang Xi searched around but couldn't find Gu Liyan. She was furious. "That guy must be afraid I'd assign him a task, so he secretly ran off to slack off!"
Little did they know that Gu Liyan had transformed into a white fox and was basking in the sun at Qingqing's doorway.
“Sometimes this posture is more relaxed!” Gu Liyan basked in the sunlight with a contented expression.
Just then, Qingqing's door was suddenly opened, and she immediately saw the white fox lying at the door. She happily picked up Gu Liyan, who then happily rubbed his face against Qingqing's.
"Hehe, you're so cute! You're unlike any other dog I've ever seen!" Qingqing said with a smile.
Gu Liyan rolled her eyes: I'm not a dog! I'm the great fox demon!
"Haha, you can even roll your eyes! You're so funny!" Qingqing said with a laugh, then lowered her head and kissed Gu Liyan's forehead.
Gu Liyan's face flushed red. She looked at Qingqing shyly and buried her head in Qingqing's arms.
Qingqing laughed even harder upon seeing this and led Gu Liyan into the room...
"I really don't know how you little dog got in here. None of the older sisters really like animals! They say animals are all monsters in disguise. Little dog, are you one too?" Qingqing said to Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan wagged his tail and looked at Qingqing with a pleading expression, indicating that she should let him stay.
Seeing Gu Liyan's aggrieved look, Qingqing immediately softened. "Okay, okay, I won't tell them. Just don't let them find out! Oh, and don't tell them I can talk."
At this point, Qingqing slapped her forehead, "I almost forgot, how could a little dog like you talk?"
Gu Liyan couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
“Calling you ‘little dog’ sounds awful. How about I call you… Little White?” Qingqing said, looking at Gu Liyan’s white fur.
Gu Liyan nuzzled Qingqing's face: As long as you're happy.
"Good boy, little Bai." Qingqing smiled as she stroked Gu Liyan's fur, which was very soft and gentle.
Gu Liyan nestled in her arms with a look of enjoyment, closing his eyes wearily.
Seeing that Gu Liyan looked tired, Qingqing asked anxiously, "Xiaobai, are you hungry?"
Gu Liyan nodded slightly. When he arrived at Fengchen Restaurant, he hadn't eaten anything except for drinking!
"Wait for me, I'll go out and find you something to eat. Don't wander off!"
Qingqing laughed and ran out. Seeing her leave, Gu Liyan perked up and hurriedly followed her into the kitchen…
Qingqing took a lot of food, afraid that her "Little White" wouldn't have enough to eat, and also took the girls' after-dinner snacks.
"This should be enough!" Qingqing thought, preparing to leave, when suddenly a figure in blue rushed in, and the two bumped into each other.
Qingqing spilled the food in her hands onto the ground, accidentally scraping the back of her hand. Looking up, she saw the woman in blue standing there with a cold face, glaring at Qingqing and saying irritably, "Qingqing! Are you blind?! Didn't you see me come in?!"
Qingqing didn't look at her, but instead looked down at the spilled food on the ground, her eyes slightly red, it was hard to tell whether it was from anger or sadness.
Seeing that Qingqing didn't speak, Lan Ying pouted and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, you're not blind, you're mute!"
Qingqing looked up angrily at Lan Ying, who pouted and said, "What? You want to go to the master and complain about me?"
Qingqing glared coldly at Lan Ying before silently bending down to pick up the relatively clean pastries from the ground.
Seeing Qingqing's appearance, Lan Ying intentionally or unintentionally stepped on the pastries on the ground. Qingqing hurriedly reached out to protect them, but Lan Ying stepped on her hand.
"Ugh..." Qingqing groaned in pain.
Startled, Lan Ying withdrew her foot, her face pale, and said, "Yes, you extended it yourself, it has nothing to do with me!"
Qingqing pursed her lips, didn't even glance at her, took the snacks, and turned to leave.
