Wen Ruwan felt that the gap between them was widening, especially after hearing Qianyue say that her relationship with Cheng Ji changed after Shangguan Qing appeared.
Shangguan Qing......
Wen Ruwan thought of the first time he met her. She had a strong aura that was even better than that of a man in his forties or fifties.
This woman really has some skills.
"Aji, we have something important to announce tomorrow. Please go back to the Qin family at noon. It has something to do with you."
Wen Ruwan did not make the point clear and deliberately left it half-hearted.
Cheng Ji didn't quite understand what they were doing, and asked with a serious look, "Auntie Wen, can't we talk about it here?"
What is so important that he has to go to the Qin family to discuss it?
The key is that ever since he was able to live independently, he didn't want to go back.
It’s not that Cheng Ji is ungrateful, but he knows the Qin family too well and their greedy nature too well.
Qin Qianyue didn't expect that Cheng Ji would hesitate for a long time even before going back to Qin's house.
I felt lost, "Brother..."
Wen Ruwan walked up to him angrily and reminded him, "Aji, don't forget that Qin Guotao and I are your adoptive parents. When you drink water, you should remember the person who dug the well."
The word "gratitude" was like a shackle pressing on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
After a long silence, Cheng Ji finally softened his heart and agreed.
"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to talk about?" His tone was cold, as if he was handling his work mechanically.
You can't wait for him all night just for something that can be notified by sending a message, right?
"nothing,"
Wen Ruwan's eyes fell on the stairs, then drooped slightly.
"That woman is not suitable for you. Aunt Wen hopes you will leave her as soon as possible before you get too deeply involved."
"Aunt Wen! This is my business." His tone suddenly became tough.
Whether Shangguan Qing is suitable for him or what kind of person Shangguan Qing is, there is no need to use other people's mouths to say.
He himself has eyes and a heart.
"It's getting late, Aunt Wen, Qianyue, you should go back to Qin's house and rest." He turned to look at Uncle Yan, "Arrange a driver to take them back."
Uncle Yan, "Yes, Mr. Cheng."
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and he didn't let them stay, but ordered them to leave.
Wen Ruwan suddenly felt unfamiliar with this adopted son.
Was it Shangguan Qing who changed him, or did he just not want to act anymore?
No matter which one it is, the plan must be accelerated. When it comes to family interests, there is no room for error.
"Aji, you must come tomorrow. Our whole family is waiting for you."
Qin Qianyue also looked expectant, and said in a gentle tone, "Brother, I will make your favorite boiled fish for you tomorrow."
Seeing their eager looks, Cheng Ji felt uneasy and simply said "hmm".
After the driver was ready, the two got in the car and left Cheng's house.
......
In the master bedroom.
Youxuan turned back into his original form of a white tiger, his snow-white fur mixed with black stripes. He blinked his bright and clear eyes and lay at the end of the bed, wagging his tail.
"My Lord, are you going?"
He used his spiritual power to place the scene of the living room in the dressing mirror.
Cheng Ji and their every word and action were under Shangguan Qing's control.
She lay on her side at the end of the bed, supporting her head with one hand and stroking the hair on Youxuan's back with the other.
"How can we know what they are selling if we don't go?"
Not only do you have to go, you also have to dress up beautifully.
“Knock knock!”
Youxuan smelled the smell at the door, "It's Cheng Ji outside, I'm leaving first, sir."
He stood up straight, shook off the hair on his body, and ran quickly to the window.
Shangguan Qing went to open the door, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Ji, "I'm going to Qin's house tomorrow. You don't have to go to the group to work. You can arrange your own time."
Shangguan Qing, "Just take me with you tomorrow. It's not like I haven't seen them before."
He hesitated. "But I'm worried they'll target you."
There's no need to make yourself unhappy.
But Shangguan Qing didn’t think so. Who were they?
For a female ghost like her who has lived for a thousand years and has seen the life and death records of countless people, the Lord of the Underworld.
If she could be defeated by a few words, then she would have lived in vain.
Shangguan Qing told him in a very resolute tone, "Not only will I be fine, but they should be the ones to worry about. You will know tomorrow."
She always advised Cheng Ji to leave her, thinking she had a good temper.
Seeing this, Cheng Ji didn't know what to say.
He said gently, "Then let's go together tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight. You've been riding in the car all day."
"Okay, I'll do as Mr. Cheng says."
Cheng Ji pulled the door handle and helped her close the door.
......
The next day.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Shangguan Qing slept comfortably until he woke up naturally.
My body is still a little sore, probably because I was too tired from riding the car yesterday.
Damn! Without spiritual power, it is really hard to adapt to the body of an ordinary person. If you don't pay attention, you will feel uncomfortable everywhere.
She stretched briefly and went downstairs.
Uncle Yan was already standing at the stairs waiting for her.
"Ms. Shangguan, Mr. Cheng went to the group to handle some work this morning. He asked me to tell you to wait for him at home for a while and he will pick you up later."
"Got it, thank you Uncle Yan."
Uncle Yan continued, "Mr. Cheng was worried that you would be hungry when you got up, so he asked us to prepare food in advance."
It would have been better if he hadn't said it, but after he said it, he seemed to be really hungry.
She walked into the restaurant and saw a table full of feast.
Such as braised pork, boiled fish, and steamed pork with rice flour, but I seem to have seen these dishes somewhere before.
Isn’t this what we eat at the Sifang Restaurant in town?
So he was battling with the male boss about whose restaurant was better?
Quite childish.
Shangguan Qing sat down and took a few bites of each. Hmm, it tasted good.
It suits her taste quite well, on the spicy side.
Uncle Yan stood behind her and said, "Mr. Cheng actually made these himself early in the morning, but he asked me not to tell you."
After all, men care about their reputation.
"So you betrayed him?" Shangguan Qing joked.
Uncle Yan shook his head in panic, "No, no, I'm just afraid that Miss Shangguan doesn't understand Mr. Cheng's thoughts."
She had long understood his thoughts, but he was the one who had been avoiding them and refusing to face them.
Not long after dinner, Cheng Ji came to pick her up to go to Qin's house.
On the way.
He asked her expectantly, his eyes showing anxiety, "Did you eat enough just now? How did it taste?"
"It's OK, but a little bit inferior to Sifang Restaurant."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone's whole body became noticeably colder, and his eyes became stern.
Shangguan Qing suddenly changed the subject, "But what I ate just now is more to my liking."
After all, it's normal that others are professionals and can cook better, but the taste he makes is based on her preferences.
Naturally, she prefers what Cheng Ji does.
After the two arrived at Qin's residence, Qin Qianyue was the first to come out of the villa to pick him up.
However, when she saw Shangguan Qing also getting off the car, her expression instantly became serious.
"Why are you here? You are not welcome in my house!"
