These thoughts in Qingque's mind were so obvious that they seemed to be engraved on her face, and it was difficult for Xirui to pretend not to see them.

He was about to raise his hand to take out some snacks from the secret compartment to pass the time, but his movement froze in the middle.

Xirui sighed deeply and was in no mood to eat snacks.

He gathered the child 066 in his arms, who was visible only to him, and turned over.

He fell down with his back to Qingque.

[Did you have a fight? ] 066 asked, sticking his head out from Xirui's arms.

Her humanoid entity had just been formed not long ago, and she was eager to find more people to share the news.

Therefore, she has been very busy these days.

He kept shuttling back and forth between Xirui and Xie Xingyu.

Last night, she had been running around at Xie Xingyu's place all day, exhausting all her energy.

As soon as he returned to Xirui's arms, he couldn't help but fall asleep, and he had no idea what happened between them afterwards.

I only vaguely remember that when I was dozing off, I heard Xue Jing's slightly dissatisfied accusation.

Xirui raised her eyelids slightly, as if recalling her attitude last night.

Then he confirmed, [No.]

She didn't even say anything back, but just let the other party call her a heartless person, and she didn't agree to let him go to Jiangning with her.

[So what are you doing...] 066 asked with a confused look on his face.

Xirui didn't know how to answer her question. He hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to give up.

She herself hasn't figured out what's going on between her and Xue Jing yet, and she really doesn't know what to say.

She always felt that since this reunion, or even earlier, long before she even noticed, something had become different.

But even she herself couldn't tell whether these changes were good or bad.

066, who was also silent, nodded thoughtfully.

As her old injuries healed, her memory also recovered to a large extent.

Some small details that were easily overlooked in the past came to my mind again.

Let her understand that some things may not be as simple as she previously thought.

This was true for everything Xie Xingyu did for her, and her unconditional trust in him was also true.

These are all worth her careful recollection and consideration.

Of course, if she wanted to know more details, she would inevitably have to go to Xie Xingyu more often.

In addition, the journey was bumpy and boring, so in the next few days, 066 ran to Xie Xingyu's place more and more frequently.

Even Xiruila couldn't stop her.

……

Unlike Xirui's smooth sailing, the Xue family's mansion was in chaos.

It was totally different from what Xirui had guessed. Xue Jing was angry with her and that was why he didn't go to see her off.

In fact, he was simply stopped by his family.

Simply, literally, stop.

"What is the purpose of my eldest sister-in-law acting like this?" Looking at his eldest sister-in-law Zhou who stopped him three steps away, Xue Jing clenched his fists in anger.

As the sun gradually rose higher, Xue Jing thought that even if Xirui got up late, their team should already set off.

Even if I forced my way out now, I would not be able to see them off in time.

Thinking of this, Xue Jing became furious.

If it weren't for the fact that the person standing in front of him was his sister-in-law, a female relative, he would have ignored her long ago.

"How long do you want to stop me?" Xue Jing said coldly.

I tried to contact Xirui again, but found that the communication channel that had been closed since last night showed no signs of being opened.

He couldn't help but become even more anxious.

He was afraid that Xirui was really tired of him.

What if she doesn't want to listen to him anymore?

Whenever Xue Jing thought about the possibility of this happening, he couldn't help but feel panicky.

At that moment, he was even more eager to see Xirui and hear her voice.

He also wanted to explain to her clearly that he didn't deliberately disobey her, he just wanted to spend more time with her.

Even if it's just for a while.

But now both of the paths he could choose were blocked.

The communication channel was unilaterally blocked by Xirui, and he had no way to solve it for the time being.

Then naturally, he would choose another option.

"I'll say this one last time, get out of the way!" When Xue Jing said this, the coldness in his eyes made Zhou even more emotional.

"Erlang, it's not that my sister-in-law is deliberately making things difficult for you. I've already told you that my father has something to ask you, and it's not good to let the elders wait in vain, right?"

"If you have anything to say, can't you wait until you come back?" Zhou was determined to take Xue Jing back to her parents' home today.

Behind her stood a row of servants she brought from her mother's home, all of them staring at Xue Jing with solemn expressions on their faces.

When had Xue Jing ever been treated like this before? He could no longer suppress his anger.

He yelled at all the people around him, "Where's Dadong? Where have all the people gone? Steward - are all the people in my Xue family dead? Why are they being so presumptuous in front of me?"

This angry shout woke up the entire Xue family.

Butler Xue Chang and Xue Jing's personal attendant Dadong finally reacted. They picked up sticks and led a large group of servants into the yard.

In an instant, they surrounded Zhou and everyone else.

"What instructions does the Second Young Master have?" Xue Chang bowed and stood aside, waiting for Xue Jing to speak.

Without waiting for Zhou to turn around and attack, Xue Jing said directly, "Please ask the eldest young lady to go back to her own courtyard. Tie up the rest of you and throw them to the woodshed. I will deal with them when my eldest brother comes back."

After all, this sister-in-law is still a layer away from him, so it is not easy for him to deal with her.

Xue Jing thought that he should wait for his elder brother to come back and deal with it.

"You dare!" Zhou was shocked and angry.

Ever since she married into the Xue family, she has never suffered any hardship.

She is the only female member in the Xue family among three generations. Over the years, she has been used to being the boss in the inner courtyard.

She never thought that one day Xue Jing would treat her so harshly.

And it was in front of so many people.

It made her feel even more ashamed.

For a moment, shame and anger made Zhou lose his mind.

She pointed at Xue Jing and cursed, "I am your eldest sister-in-law. Your brother is not at home. How dare you treat me like this?"

"I'm just asking you to put things aside for now. What's wrong with that? Go meet your elders first."

"What on earth is so attractive outside that makes you want to go there even at the cost of disrespecting your elder sister-in-law?" Zhou was so angry that her fingertips trembled.

Watching Xue Jing's steps as he walked out, he couldn't help but think of his father's instructions. He got anxious and couldn't help but speak out his thoughts, "What a foxy girl! Her tricks of seducing people are quite good..."

Ever since she met Xirui in the restaurant last time, she had noticed this woman who could particularly cause changes in Xue Jing's mind.
