Fan Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh, and when she looked up, she met Shi Lingheng's gaze.
Shi Lingheng raised an eyebrow.
His lips moved slightly: "Ruan wine."
Fan Xiaofan immediately understood why the big shot had come to Qingcheng—he was there to see his official wife.
We absolutely have to support this!
Her face immediately tightened; she was determined to create opportunities for others!
If I don't read the room, the big shots will be sharpening their knives at me, this poor little lamb.
Shi Lingheng watched as Fan Xiaofan's eyes darted around, and his temples twitched involuntarily. He had a feeling that Fan Xiaofan had no idea what he was imagining at that moment.
Fan Xiaofan, however, acted as if she knew everything, and pulled Fan Yunyan along, saying, "Didn't you just say you hadn't eaten? Luckily, the cafeteria is still serving food for the time being, let's go!"
Before Fan Yunyan could say anything, his second sister grabbed his wrist and dragged him away, hurriedly asking, "Ling Heng, what about you?"
Shi Lingheng held up the letter in his hand and said, "I'm going to the post office and I also need to buy some things. See you later."
Fan Yunyan nodded, and then was dragged away by Fan Xiaofan.
He didn't suggest that Shi Lingheng stay for dinner. This wasn't an era where having a meal was easy anymore; everyone's food was precious, and if someone wanted to treat you to a meal...
You must cherish this friendship, which is more precious than pearls.
Shi Lingheng raised an eyebrow. He was left all alone at the gate while everyone else went to eat. It seemed a little pathetic.
He slowly smoothed out the creases on his clothes, first went to the post office, and then went to the place where Ruan Jiu was temporarily resting.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the bald boy instinctively shouted with joy upon seeing him, when a streak of silver light flew out of the house...
He instantly became anxious. He recognized the object; it was the military dagger that Ruan Jiu always carried, capable of slicing off a head as easily as cutting a watermelon.
His heart clenched instantly, fearing that he might hurt Shi Lingheng.
They tried to stop him, but Mr. Shi simply waved his hand and swiftly took the dagger into his hand.
"Tsk tsk, it's quite sharp..."
He casually made a cut on a nearby sycamore tree, and the bark was cut off, revealing a bluish-white sap inside.
Ruan Jiu had already reached the door, her still-recovering body supporting her against the door as she struggled to stand.
His voice was indifferent: "I never expected that the most unruly young master of the Shi family would now be such a respectable person."
Shi Lingheng slowly wiped the juice off the dagger, a half-smile playing on his lips: "I never expected that Ruan Jiu, the most capable fighter, would become such a sickly person, did I?"
The bald boy shivered in the yard, feeling as if he were standing in a hurricane, which was somewhat dangerous.
He could only crouch in the corner, trying to minimize his presence.
After wiping the dagger, Shi Lingheng casually tossed it aside, and Ruan Jiu caught it.
The bald boy swallowed his exclamation; it was terrifying.
Ruan Jiu took the dagger, ignored Shi Lingheng, turned around and went into the house. He should stay in bed and rest properly.
Shi Lingheng was strong and robust, with broad shoulders and a muscular build. Even though he tried to conceal his strength, he was not to be underestimated.
He stepped into the house, casually stuffed an apple that was lying to the side into his mouth, and took a big bite...
"Wow, this is a rare find."
He casually crossed his legs, giving off a rather nonchalant vibe.
Ruan Jiu rolled her eyes as she leaned against the bed: "With your skills, you can't even get this done?"
He then asked, "What's the latest news from Beidu?"
Shi Lingheng clicked his tongue and slowly said, "I do have some news, but first I want to ask, you're really ruthless..."
