Wei Shengxi smiled, "Hmm," her lips pursed slightly, her gaze deep and unfathomable, "After everything is over, Ziqian, would you be willing to take me to see all the sights of the empire?"
"Of course!" Fu Muqian replied without hesitation, his eyes sparkling. "I've accumulated quite a few vacation days over the years, several months in total. How about we go on a road trip?"
“We can start from the capital, from the east, then to the south, then to the southwest, then the northwest, circling around the Central Plains, then to the northeast, and finally back to the capital.”
He was envisioning a road trip they would take together.
"By the way, the fourth brother gave me a campervan a while ago. It's pretty good. I'll do some research on it now, and once Zili takes over, we'll go on a road trip together."
“Okay.” Wei Shengxi’s voice seemed exceptionally gentle. “I’ll wait for you to take me to see all the beautiful scenery of the empire.” Her gaze towards him was as gentle as a breeze.
Whether it was Fu Muqian's imagination or something else, he felt that Zi Xi was unusually gentle today.
Upon receiving a message from a subordinate, Fu Muqian replied, "I have some things to attend to here. We'll discuss them in detail when I get back."
"With Zimo there, I feel more at ease, but you must also take care of your health."
"Also, if things don't work out, stay away from Wei Shengsui. After we return to the capital, I'll go with you to find him."
"You should tell Ziyan about Zili's matter; I won't go and talk to her about it."
"You're not allowed in the kitchen anymore!"
She glared at him, her voice unusually harsh.
"Understood." Wei Shengxi's face was full of smiles, beautiful as the bright moon and a gentle breeze.
After emphasizing it two or three times, Fu Muqian finally hung up the holographic video.
Wei Shengxi's hand rested on the analog watch, remaining motionless for a long time.
Her white eyelashes fluttered slightly as she stepped outside.
Shen Bei'an was still watching the dance and didn't even notice Wei Shengxi coming back in.
"Fifth Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to join you for the dance today." Wei Shengxi handed a cup of flower tea to Shen Bei'an, and only spoke after attracting Shen Bei'an's attention.
Shen Bei'an took the flower tea, a hint of confusion on his face. "What's wrong?"
Wasn't Yan Yan talking to Hua Yin?
Or is something wrong with him?
“Something happened to Zili. Ziqian couldn’t contact Ziyan, so he asked me to tell Ziyan.” Wei Shengxi didn’t intend to hide anything from Shen Bei’an, but telling Shen Bei’an about such things felt like a defilement to him.
“OK, just go and tell Yan Yan. If Young Master Xi wants to watch it again later, he can come back and watch it.” Shen Bei’an understood. “By the way, why don’t you stay for dinner later? Yan Yan has found some dancers and entertainers. The live dance should be more enjoyable to watch than this holographic image.”
Although he wasn't familiar with Wei Shengxi, he was still a good friend of his wife.
The necessary polite words must be said, and besides, having such a beautiful woman by your side, even just glancing at her occasionally is a pleasure.
Wei Shengxi smiled and shook her head, "No, I've already troubled Fifth Master for too long. I've made an appointment with Zimo tonight to check on his health. If I have time in the future, I'll definitely invite Fifth Master to watch 'Listen to the Wind' live."
“Okay.” Shen Bei’an readily agreed.
Wei Shengxi nodded to Shen Beian and left the room.
For some reason, Shen Beian felt that Wei Shengxi was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
A red figure flashed by, and Shen Beian was instantly drawn to the dance.
Anyway, nothing will happen, so there's no need for him to worry.
"Zixi? What brings you here? Is it over there?" Gu Nanyan was still looking at some documents that Hua Yin had brought over.
It's no joke that Hua Yin is the biggest arms dealer in Western Europe and even the world. Take northern Myanmar for example, Hua Yin's family accounts for almost 70% of the market!
There's no need to elaborate on other places.
“Not yet, Fifth Master is still looking at it,” Wei Shengxi said, sitting down to the side. “Ziqian just called me; something happened to Zili.”
"Her?" Gu Nanyan casually flipped through the documents in his hand. "Her? Did she anger Boss Zhou?"
Hua Yueli is always cautious in her work. Apart from appearing somewhat carefree and irresponsible in front of them, Gu Nanyan trusts her completely in other matters.
"She was photographed going to the Crazy Desire Club while she was a diplomat in Western Europe."
Wei Shengxi's words were like a bombshell.
Four people were shocked!
Hua Yin and Gu Xingxiao exchanged bewildered glances. Disbelief was evident in each other's eyes.
How could that seemingly virtuous and refined young master Hua possibly go to a place like that?
Wouldn't Mr. Hua dump her?
Gu Nanyan raised his eyes, his grip on the pen tightening. "It's been exposed?"
Although it is a question, it is phrased with a very affirmative tone.
His voice carried a hint of sinister intent.
If it were anyone else, they might have been intimidated by Gu Nanyan's tone, but Wei Shengxi was not.
"Hmm." He said calmly, even while making tea. "It shouldn't be a big problem if she doesn't need to. Aunt Ji should have already called her over."
"Then there's no need to worry." Gu Nanyan felt relieved upon hearing this form of address.
Gu Nanyan and Wei Shengxi naturally didn't really believe that Hua Yueli went to Crazy Desire Club to experience it firsthand.
Given Hua Yueli's attitude towards Zhou Zhi, it's still possible that they might engage in some lighthearted fun at home.
"I'm more curious now about how she plans to explain this to Boss Zhou." Gu Nanyan curled his lips, the sinister look in his eyes replaced by schadenfreude.
Even if it's for work, going to a place like that is practically suicide.
"I guess I'll be sleeping in the study for a few days." Wei Shengxi smiled. As for the public aspect of this matter, it would be easier to handle with Ji Feiyue in charge.
But things might not be the same with Boss Zhou.
"Hmph, who can she blame but herself for bringing this on herself?" Gu Nanyan sneered. She naturally knew that Hua Yueli would not go to such a place on her own initiative. Going to such a place must mean that someone invited her, and someone she wanted to use.
Otherwise, if Hua Yueli is unwilling to go, who can force her to go?
"Besides, how do you know it wasn't intentional on her part?" Gu Nanyan lowered his head and continued looking at the documents in his hand. The chances of Hua Yueli, that arrogant girl, being schemed against were not very high. It was two or three years ago when she was in Western Europe. With her keen senses, she shouldn't have been discovered if she had been secretly photographed at that time.
But if you've really been tricked, it's probably because something bad has happened to someone close to you.
Or perhaps, the person who went with her in Western Europe at the time had a problem.
With Ji Feiyue around, there's no need for them to help analyze this kind of thing.
Wei Shengxi thought about it and realized that Gu Nanyan's words made sense. "Today is also Arnor Jones's birthday, and you've come back so early..."
“It’s alright,” Gu Nanyan turned the page. “With Ziqing and Young Master Xie here, they should know Arnor Jones better than I do.”
"Fuyun Island will definitely be very lively today." He turned to look at Wei Shengxi, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
