Only after seeing Jiu Ye fall asleep did Shi Qi leave the room.
She looked at the beautiful fireworks setting off in the sky above the entire manor. Everyone in the house was looking at this brief brilliance, and the strong New Year atmosphere filled every corner.
Shi Qi walked to the door of his father's study alone with a cold look. After making sure that no one would come at this time, he opened the door and walked in.
In the darkness, she came to the desk and turned on the desk lamp. In an instant, the dim light illuminated a corner of the office and also illuminated Shi Qi's calm and fair face.
She started looking on her desk, then after a few minutes moved to the cabinet, but still couldn't find what she was looking for.
Jiu Ye’s black document box was empty, which meant that the contents were handed over to Dad.
What did they talk about that night?
How did the two of them put aside their past grudges and trust each other?
Originally, Shi Qi resented Jiu Ye for hiding something from her, and now even her father was doing this to her.
There were several times when she keenly felt that her father looked at her with worry in his eyes.
She is fine here and is with the person she loves. There is nothing to worry about.
But it was this unintentional expression that made Shi Qi suspicious.
What are they hiding from her?
Shi Qi's eyes fell on the safe next to the bookcase. His eyes flashed and he went up to study and explore it.
password……
After thinking for a moment, she locked on three digital codes and tried them one by one.
Click.
Finally, I used my mother’s birthday as the password and successfully opened the safe.
Shi Qi was very happy. He looked inside and saw various documents and a black wooden box. There were no other valuable items.
She reached out and took out all the documents, and the black box on top of them rolled out. Shi Qi caught it steadily and took a closer look. It looked somewhat familiar.
She opened it and saw that it was Jiu Ye’s seal!
Why would Jiu Ye give this to Dad?
After thinking about it, I guess it might be a betrothal gift!
Shi Qi widened his eyes in disbelief.
If Dad were a little more ruthless and took all the property, wouldn’t Master Jiu be bankrupt?
Shi Qi bit her lip, her eyes moistened, she felt both happy and distressed.
Jiu Ye regarded her as a jewel and was willing to spend everything for her.
How can there be such a stupid man!
After closing the black box, a wax seal inside the document caught her attention.
Shi Qi took out the file and slowly opened it. All he saw were records of a woman named An Ruyun.
Her pupils dilated, and her green and white fingertips clenched tightly, causing thin blue veins to appear on her skin.
It turned out that this woman, the enemy who poisoned her mother, was from the An family in Dayuezhou, An Ruyun.
Hatred instantly turned her eyes red.
It turns out that this is what Jiu Ye had been hiding from her.
Dai Viet Province is so big, and it is where the wealthy and powerful are concentrated. It is said to be a place full of gold, but also a place full of dangers.
If the An family can become one of the four major families in Dayue Province, it would be at the top of the pyramid.
Is Mr. Jiu worried that she will try to fight against the strong with the weak, and run to seek revenge on that woman?
With his head lowered, Shi Qi read through all the information in the document before putting it back into the safe, along with Jiu Ye's seal, and closing the cabinet.
He silently turned off the small desk lamp and walked out of the study.
Returning to Jiu Ye's room, she looked at the charming and handsome face of the man on the bed, which was slightly flushed due to drinking. He was smiling even when he was sleeping, and his aura of alluring charm was shining.
Shi Qi's eyes turned slightly red. She climbed onto the bed, got under the quilt, and hugged him.
The man noticed and hugged her tightly. His pleasant voice was as seductive as ever. "Baby, are you trying to seduce Master Jiu again?"
