Chapter 28 City of Kailu



The blissful days lasted for a week.

Even though Aunt Lin would prepare nourishing medicinal meals for Xu Zhe every day and watch her drink them all up.

The little one still has bluish discoloration under his eyes and complains of backaches and pains every day.

What's wrong with this child?

Aunt Lin returned to the kitchen, looking dejected and distressed.

"Young Master will be fine after a few days away on business."

Butler Zhou, standing to the side, comforted her, appearing relaxed and as if he knew everything.

"Young Master is away on another business trip~"

Aunt Lin casually agreed.

The young master travels for work very frequently, and everyone is used to it.

Except for Xu Zhe.

I felt a strange tightness in my chest when I heard that Hsu Cheng-hsi was going on a business trip.

"What you're experiencing is called withdrawal symptoms."

Liang Shile answered questions for her friends.

"Withdrawal symptoms?"

Xu Zhe frowned. Liang Shile had a string of short poems, most of which she had never heard of before.

"It's because you're addicted to Xu Zhengxi. Once you're apart, it's like you're going through withdrawal."

Liang Shi smiled smugly.

"You mean...?"

Xu Zhe thought for a moment, "That seems to make sense."

Liang Shile burst out laughing:

"If you feel unwell, just go with them~"

Xia City followed suit.

The two were inseparable, constantly making little gestures and exchanging longing glances even in front of others...

Liang Shile thought to herself, feeling both annoyed and heartbroken. When would her spring come?

Xu Zhe thought she made a good point.

As soon as Xu Zhengxi got off work, she immediately asked him for permission.

“This time, not.” Xu Zhengxi rubbed the top of her head.

"Why?"

Xu Zhe's nose felt sore.

"This trip is to Beidu, and the entire itinerary is arranged by the Beidu capital."

Hsu Cheng-hsi explained to her.

"But it took so long, a whole ten days!"

Xu Zhe's eyes were red at the corners, and he looked aggrieved.

Xu Zhengxi felt a tightness in her chest, unable to find the right words to coax him.

Helpless?

What a terrible feeling...

“We can make a phone call or video call.”

"You can send me a WeChat message anytime, and I will reply whenever I see it."

After saying all this, Xu Zhengxi felt it was all in vain.

Xu Zhe pouted, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his chest.

"I'll have Liang Shile accompany you."

Xu Zhengxi ruffled her hair, one stroke at a time:

"Her brother got her a club, it'll open in a few days, you can go check it out."

The clubhouse was Xu Zhengxi's final compromise.

I originally wanted to forbid her from going.

But if we can appease her, then let's go see her.

Xu Zhe's little head immediately popped out from Xu Zhengxi's arms:

"Shall we go take a look?"

Her pouting lips suddenly relaxed.

She didn't expect Xu Zhengxi to allow it.

Liang Shile had invited her long ago, but she hadn't dared to accept because she was worried that Xu Zhengxi would object.

"Um."

He pinched her chin:

"I asked you to go and take a look, to see the environment and the operation of the club."

"It's not about looking at things you shouldn't be looking at."

"If I find out..."

"Don't worry," Xu Zhe assured him, extending his hand, "I absolutely won't let you find out!"

Xu Zhengxi: "..."

Now I'm even more worried about leaving her here.

Xu Zhengxi was to set off early the next morning.

Xu Zhe took his arm and escorted him to the gate of the mansion.

The official car was already waiting at the door.

Secretary Chen also stood by the car door to greet them.

"Sweetie~ Wait for me to come back."

Xu Zhengxi stroked her hair.

Even though Xu Zhe was unwilling, he had no choice but to let go.

I watched him get into the car and leave.

He couldn't say a word.

Withdrawal symptoms are so unpleasant...

In the official car, Xu Zhengxi took out his mobile phone.

Open WeChat and tap on the pinned profile picture.

Long, slender fingers typed out a line of text:

Wait for me to come back and love you properly.

Xu Zhe replied quickly:

What kind of love should we use?

Xu Zhengxi smiled:

[Your 190+]

at this time,

Secretary Chen, who was in the passenger seat, also opened WeChat.

Click on the completely black profile picture:

Why didn't you come to Beidu with me?

I waited for ages, but there was no reply.

He was unwilling to accept it:

【??????】

I sent a string of question marks.

Five minutes passed, and there was still no reply.

Secretary Chen's eyes were misty, and she lowered her head, resting it against the car window.

The background music from a melodramatic Korean drama is playing on repeat in my head.

......

Liang Shile's appearance was very timely.

Before Xu Zhe could fully savor the agonizing longing, the sisters swept him up in their arms and pulled him into a dazzling, decadent world.

Upon arrival, they were treated like royalty, not only with a retinue of servants but also with Liang Shile on her turf.

It gives the impression that you could just grab a male employee anytime and grope them however you like...

Or perhaps humiliation...

They should be grateful to the Queen for her favor.

But the signs here...

Four magnificent characters:

City of Kailuo?

"Kai, Le?" Xu Zhe asked curiously, "It's not taken from Zou Kai and Liang Shile, is it?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Liang Shile was both pleased and gratified. He grabbed his sister's arm, held her close, and shook her.

Xu Zhe's arm received a reward from the waves.

"That's right! Sister, that's exactly what I mean!"

Xu Zhe: "......"

If there are no results, will the name of the club have to be changed?

She thought about it but didn't say it out loud.
