So, when Su Man was brought in and her eyes met his, his heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, everyone around them disappeared, leaving only him and Su Man looking at each other from afar.
The two of them stood on either side of the gambling table. The chips he put down were his life and property, and what he was betting was his trust.
Fortunately, she did not disappoint him.
Ao Xi was relaxed at the moment. He tried to suppress the corner of his mouth several times but failed. He simply hooked Tiger Eye's neck and said, "Come on, I'm in a good mood today. Let me buy you a drink."
Tiger Eyes was delighted when he heard about drinking wine, "Then I want to eat the big pork elbow."
"Look at what you have accomplished."
Ao Xi cursed, but when he arrived at the restaurant he still ordered a plate of braised pork elbow and a few side dishes.
Tiger Eye's mouth was shiny from eating so much, and Ao Xi held the wine glass with a smile on his lips.

Chunyu immediately understood what Su Man meant, thinking that she was just worried about her lifelong affairs, so she relaxed her guard and said, "Miss Xia, we don't allow the different courtyards to communicate with each other in our mansion."
"I see."
Su Man looked disappointed. "Okay, then you pack up. I'm going to the South Garden later."
"yes."
The sun was not as strong in the afternoon, and Su Man went to the South Garden again accompanied by spring rain and winter rain.
On the surface, she was admiring the flowers and the scenery, but in fact she was observing the terrain of the South Garden.
Today she recognized at a glance that the Dahei following Master Xia was played by Ao Xi, and in a hurry she only had time to say the three words "Nanhuayuan".
She had the same idea as Ao Xi. The Fang Mansion had nine winding corridors and dozens of houses of different sizes. It was not easy to find it without a guide. And there was only one garden in the south.
But even if she spread the news, it was still hard to say whether Ao Xi could come in.
