Zhao Shi'an felt that Gao Ren was there to cause him trouble.
It was Gao Ren who revealed the massacre of the Gao family to Fang Qing, and now this person is probably saying something that Fang Qing doesn't like.
"Gao Ren, you underestimate Fang Qing's feelings for me."
"Really? And where does Fang Qing stand in your heart?"
Zhao Shi'an's cold gaze seemed to want to devour the person in front of him.
Do I need to tell you?
In Zhao Shi'an's heart, Fang Qing was more important than himself.
No one else needs to know these things.
A hint of disdain flashed in Gao Ren's eyes.
"You might not believe it, but I have a feeling that you and Fang Qing won't stay together for long, because you two are from completely different worlds."
"Gao Ren!"
Zhao Shi'an warned in a low voice.
He can't stand hearing such things.
If this person in front of him wasn't still useful to him, he would already be a corpse.
"It seems you don't like hearing this."
"If you say that to Fang Qing, I won't let you off the hook."
Gao Ren chuckled lightly, ignoring Zhao Shi'an's warning.
His gaze fell on Fang Qing, who was walking out of the kitchen.
Before he even spoke, he noticed the unease that flashed across Zhao Shi'an's eyes.
The smile in his eyes deepened.
See? I always see how Zhao Shi'an loses his composure when it comes to Fang Qing.
To get rid of Zhao Shi'an, all you need to do is exploit his weakness.
Gao Ren naturally wouldn't cause trouble at this moment, so he turned his attention back to drinking his tea.
"Let's eat." Fang Qing sat down, and the innkeeper placed the food on the table.
Zhao Shi'an's expression had returned to its usual composure. He served Fang Qing some food and talked about their upcoming travel plans.
Gao Ren listened from the side, offering suggestions from time to time.
"Would Lord Gao like to come with us?"
"I would like to, but it seems Lord Zhao is unwilling, so I won't disturb your interest any longer. I'll be setting off tomorrow."
"Then see you in Jiaozhou."
"Okay, I'll get there first. If you need anything, just write to me and I'll prepare it for you."
"No, not really. Just take care of yourself."
Gao Ren let out a hearty laugh.
"Okay, I'll take good care of myself. I'm off."
Before he even left the inn, he turned back to look at Zhao Shi'an.
"By the way, Lord Zhao, you should take your men back. It's annoying to have them following me around all the time. If they do something while I'm annoyed, it would be a huge loss for Lord Gao."
After saying this, Gao Ren left.
Fang Qing continued drinking the sweet soup in her bowl.
"What were you talking about before?" Fang Qing asked again.
Zhao Shi'an's hand holding the chopsticks twitched, and he hesitated for a moment.
"We are in talks with Gao Wancheng."
Fang Qing looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Gao Ren and I are both investigating Gao Wancheng, both for something that Gao Wancheng has."
Fang Qing remained silent.
"I don't want this to fall into the hands of anyone else."
Fang Qing didn't ask what it was, but after a moment of silence, she asked, "You didn't intend for me to know about this beforehand."
Zhao Shi'an felt a moment of panic.
First, he did indeed hide this matter from Fang Qing, and he didn't know if Fang Qing would be angry.
Secondly, he didn't want Fang Qing to know about this.
"Qing'er..."
Fang Qing called out to Xiao Dou.
She asked Zhao Shi'an, "Will the thing you want bring disaster to others?"
"Won't."
Fang Qing looked at the screen in front of her. Where Zhao Shi'an couldn't see, Xiao Dou was cautiously watching the two people in front of her.
"Is he telling the truth?" Fang Qing asked Xiao Dou.
Before Xiaodou could speak, Fang Qing interrupted it.
You'd better tell me the truth.
"You are my master, how could I dare to lie to you? Anyway, I haven't detected any evidence that Zhao Shi'an is lying."
What does he want?
[I don't know. Zhao Shi'an is someone even the system can't control. We have no idea what he's planning to do.]
Fang Qing's momentary silence startled Zhao Shi'an.
"Qing'er, are you angry?"
Fang Qing glanced at him.
"No, I'm just disappointed. But since you don't want to tell me, if I press you now, you'll probably just lie to me anyway. Let's wait until you're ready to tell me."
Zhao Shi'an opened his mouth.
There are some things I can't tell Fang Qing right now.
Once he got the items, he confessed all his secrets to Fang Qing.
The two finished breakfast in an awkward atmosphere.
After dinner, they were supposed to go for a stroll outside Yangzhou, but Fang Qing lost interest and went back to her room after telling Zhao Shi'an.
I didn't close the door immediately after going upstairs; I stood at the door and listened to the sounds downstairs for a while.
They booked the entire inn, and Zhao Shi'an was downstairs talking to Xiao Liu.
I'm truly disappointed.
She and Zhao Shi'an were already husband and wife, and she believed in Zhao Shi'an's love for her.
But Zhao Shi'an would still hide what he was going to do from her.
Suddenly, Fang Qing felt as if there was something between them.
I felt really bad.
This discomfort also stemmed from the guilt she felt about the secret she was hiding in her heart.
When Zhao Shi'an confessed to her, Fang Qing thought that perhaps she should also make things clear to Zhao Shi'an.
The existence of the system, the fact that she comes from another world.
It's just a question of whether Zhao Shi'an will believe such absurd things.
