Qi Jincheng replied affirmatively, "Yes."
"Is this your first time attending that so-called inspection meeting?" Qiao Xi blinked and asked him.
"Mm." Qi Jincheng nodded.
Qiao Xi even knew the purpose of this inspection meeting, and immediately advised him: "Control your wallet, making money is not easy."
Qi Jincheng frowned slightly, not wanting to get involved in such trouble, and said, "Xi'er, just keep your wallet safe."
Qiao Xi readily agreed, "No problem."
After gazing into each other's loving eyes for a few seconds, Qiao Xi tentatively said, "By the way, I heard from Ninth Master that Ma Qianbang and his men were killed."
"Ah Jin, are you aware of this?"
"I know," Qi Jincheng replied readily.
Qiao Xi then asked, "Then why don't you share it with me?"
Qi Jincheng said with some guilt, "I didn't avenge Xi'er myself, so I'm ashamed to share it."
With that, Qiao Xi no longer needed to ask any questions; it was definitely not him who did it.
So here's the question: "Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know," Qi Jincheng said immediately. "I asked He Fan to investigate."
Qiao Xi nodded knowingly and then told him, "Er Er has a performance at the bar tomorrow night, and it'll be quite a big show."
"He's still alive?" Qi Jincheng was clearly surprised as well. They all knew that Er'er was Ma Qianbang's man. Since Ma Qianbang and his men had been dealt with, how could Er'er be the only one left?
Qiao Xi's surprise was also evident on her face. "Yes, not only are they alive, but they're also putting on a big show at the bar."
"I wonder if he might want to lure out the person who killed Ma Qianbang so he can get revenge?" Qiao Xi continued, "He also said before that Ma Qianbang was his savior. Would he just ignore his death?"
Qi Jincheng agreed with Qiao Xi's guess, but he couldn't be sure, saying, "It's hard to say."
"But bars are public places after all. If we really lure them out, they probably wouldn't dare to make a move there," Qiao Xi speculated on her own guess.
Qi Jincheng immediately sensed something else, "What is Xi'er worried about?"
Qiao Xi said helplessly, "Li Xiaoxiao wants to go see his performance, and she's even skipping the freshman welcome party. She asked us to help her ask for leave."
So that's how it is. His Xi'er is still so kind.
This isn't something that can't be resolved, but we still need to ask Xi'er's opinion. "What are your thoughts, Xi'er?"
Qiao Xi paused for a moment and said, "This is what I'm thinking. If my guess is true, then we should be able to find out who the people behind Killing Horse Money Gang are through this performance?"
"Xi'er wants to know?" Qi Jincheng knew the answer, but he didn't tell Qiao Xi.
"Don't you want to know, Ah Jin?" Qiao Xi didn't think Qi Jincheng would be uninterested in this matter. "What grudge does the person who got there first have against Ma Qianbang?"
Qi Jincheng sensed that Qiao Xi was suspicious and immediately chimed in, "Yes, I'll make the arrangements."
Qiao Xi replied with some anticipation, "Then I'll wait for good news."
"Okay." Qi Jincheng solemnly gave her an affirmative answer.
Qiao Xi caught a glimpse of an exquisite box on the coffee table out of the corner of her eye. She looked over at it, and Qi Jincheng followed her gaze. He then pulled her to the coffee table and said, "Open it and take a look."
"What is it?" Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask.
The packaging box was so exquisite; it was undoubtedly a gift. But having learned from her previous experiences, she was hesitant to open it.
"You'll know once you open it," Qi Jincheng gestured to her again.
"Could it be..." Qiao Xi meant jewelry, but jewelry shouldn't need such a big box.
With a mix of surprise and skepticism, she slowly opened the box, only to find what appeared to be clothes inside.
"Shall we give it a try?" Qi Jincheng helped her lift up her clothes.
It was a champagne-colored long-sleeved dress, which looked exceptionally dignified and elegant.
Looking at this message in the group chat, Qiao Xi immediately thought of tomorrow's welcome party, "What should I wear to the party tomorrow?"
"Mm." Qi Jincheng nodded.
Qiao Xi said happily, "You've prepared everything for me!"
"Give it a try. If it doesn't suit you, you can change it or replace it." Qi Jincheng urged her again to give it a try.
Since it was a dress given to her by her husband, Qiao Xi naturally didn't hold back.
She immediately took the clothes to the office cubicle, a small room that Qi Jincheng usually used to rest in, which contained a bed and a desk.
That was the room Qi Jincheng used to take a nap in the middle of the night before he got married, but he hasn't stayed there overnight since.
After changing, Qiao Xi walked out, lifting the slightly long hem of her skirt. She wasn't wearing high heels, so it was a little bit long. If she were wearing high heels, it would be just right.
Besides that, it was practically tailor-made for her; the waist, bust, and everything else fit her perfectly.
The only downside is that... apart from the tiny bit showing around the neck, everything else is completely covered.
Standing in front of Qi Jincheng, she turned around gracefully, gave him a princess-like curtsy, and then asked, "Does it look good?"
"Beautiful." Qi Jincheng's eyes were full of admiration.
There was no mirror, so Qiao Xi couldn't see how she looked in the dress, but she pointed out a minor flaw: "Isn't it a little... conservative?"
"Isn't it better to be conservative?" Qi Jincheng said matter-of-factly.
Qiao Xi shook her head vigorously. "It's fine."
Qi Jincheng declared his ownership to Qiao Xi without reservation, "Only I can see Xi'er's body, not even a little bit more."
Oh, I see. So he deliberately chose this dress for her.
However, she trusted Qi Jincheng's judgment; even though she was fully covered up, it was still the most beautiful dress.
Just as she was about to change out of the dress, she suddenly remembered her promise to Jun Jiuge, "Oh right, I promised Ninth Master that I would also prepare a dress for her."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jincheng blurted out without much thought, "Someone will help her prepare."
"Who?" Qiao Xi asked hurriedly.
The name was already on Qi Jincheng's lips, but he held back and changed it to "Jun Family".
Jun Shu and she had a good relationship. If she had known that she was going to attend the welcome party, she would have helped her prepare. Qiao Xi hadn't thought of that.
But Jun Shu's preparations are her own business. Since she promised to help Jun Jiuge prepare, she has to keep her word.
Qiao Xi said weakly, "But I've already told her and prepared it for her."
"I understand, I'll have someone prepare." Qi Jincheng said without hesitation.
He had barely finished speaking when Qiao Xi immediately stopped him, saying, "No, how can I let my husband prepare clothes for another woman? I'll do it myself."
