Reborn as a fake daughter, Master Jiu’s doting on his wife amazes the whole city

Faced with Huo Yanzhou's repeated questioning, Xiang Xuan remained calm.

But seeing Huo Yanzhou's agitated look, she became even more suspicious.

Is this a guilty conscience?

Suddenly, the man's hands pressed on the armrests on both sides of the lounge chair, his eyes fell gloomily on her face, and his tone was cold: "Don't let me ask a third time."

At a close distance, Xiang Xuan could clearly smell the faint smell of tobacco on his body.

Huo Yanzhou's cigarettes are specially made and the taste is different from ordinary tobacco.

A little bitter.

"Is it weird that I would read this kind of book? Or is this book created by you, Huo Jiushao, and not made public?"

"You like to talk a lot."

"Oh, you want to hear me talk seriously." As he spoke, Xiang Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him openly, with the corners of his eyes curled up, giving him a somewhat seductive look. "I checked it on Baidu. I read the introduction and I'm a little interested, so why don't I take a look?"

Huo Yanzhou didn't believe this nonsense at all.

There's no such thing as a coincidence.

One sentence almost blurted out, but he calmed down as quickly as possible, then asked again: "How many years have you studied French?"

"A few years."

"Say something and listen."

Xiang Xuan's eyes flickered, and sure enough, he began to doubt himself.

In her previous life, because her parents died early, she was sent abroad by her grandfather. Firstly, to protect her, and secondly, to help her become self-reliant.

So her French is basically the local standard accent.

If she read it out loud now, Huo Yanzhou would definitely notice it.

"You want to hear it so much? How about lying in bed at night and I tell you slowly?" Xiang Xuan crossed his legs and crossed his arms, lazily and wantonly.

But in Huo Yanzhou's eyes, there was only disgust.

He didn't even bother to continue testing, retracted his hand and left indifferently.

Xiang Xuan looked at the book on the desk with her peripheral vision. The person behind her had already gone away. Then she picked up the book, turned to a certain page skillfully, and saw another comma on it.

Instantly, coldness overflowed from her eyes.

She reached out and touched the comma, full of confusion.

When did Huo Yanzhou take this book away?

Or was it that he had brought all her things in Faguo here?

What does he mean?

Meanwhile, on the second floor.

When Lu Yunran saw his cousin and Xiang Xuan making such an intimate move, he didn't want to read on, "Does my cousin really like that woman? It's only been a few days, it's impossible."

The relatively calm Lu Yunran sat there quietly, "What you see may not be true."

"But my cousin was so close to her just now."

"Then did you hear what they were saying?"

"You can guess it even without listening."

"Oh, tell me what it is."

"Brother, you are so shameless." Lu Yunran gave him a roll of his eyes and complained about him.

Lu Yunchi shrugged, not bothering to explain anything, "My cousin has his ways, so don't get too entangled. Don't forget that the real purpose of our coming back is not to drive her away, but to find out whether investigating her is not good for my cousin."

After being reminded, Lu Yunran finally calmed down.

That's right.

Don't forget about business.

----

Throughout the afternoon, Xiang Xuan either played chess with Mr. Lu or read a book by herself.

Huo Yanzhou was never seen again. He didn't go downstairs slowly until dinner.

But after the dinner was hastily finished, he went upstairs without much communication.

She even saw Chen Jin sending piles of documents upstairs.

As a result, Mr. Lu was too embarrassed to urge Huo Yanzhou to go back to the house to sleep.

Xiang Xuan made an excuse and went back to the house.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door.

After opening it, the butler stood elegantly at the door holding the tray, nodding slightly to Xiang Xuan: "Young mistress, this is the tonic soup that the old master ordered me to deliver to you."

Xiang Xuan has already smelled the strong familiar smell.

She took it without changing her expression, "Does Huo Yanzhou have it?"

"Don't worry, young lady, Master Zhou is here too."

With a faint hum, Xiang Xuan closed the door, turned around and poured the tonic soup into the toilet. After processing it, she lay down on the bedside and finished the things she had delayed today.

At this moment, the door was opened for the second time.

Xiang Xuan raised his eyebrows and found that the person who came in was Lu Yunran.

She still looked so arrogant, "Can you ride a horse?"

Xiang Xuan looked at the phone again as if nothing had happened, "Yes."

Lu Yunran's eyes were filled with excitement, and he said, "If you dare to compete with me for two laps at the racecourse the day after tomorrow, and you beat me, I will call you sister-in-law. How about that?"

Her intention was so obvious that Xiang Xuan saw through it and said with a chuckle: "I don't care what you call me."

Seeing that she didn't take the bait, Lu Yunran was a little anxious, "Don't talk too much. Even if you have grandpa's protection now, your cousin may not recognize your identity. But my cousin is the closest to us. Don't you want us brothers and sisters to take the place of you?" Can you say something nice in front of your cousin?"

At this point, the corners of her mouth raised proudly, "You don't care if we call you sister-in-law, but don't you care if your cousin recognizes you?"

Xiang Xuan tapped her fingers on her knees while listening to her eloquent words.

"Hey, are you that hard to tell the difference between good and bad?"

"can."

Lu Yunran wanted to say something more, but when he saw her agreeing so readily, his eyes lit up. "you sure?"

"When is the day after tomorrow?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning, Mudanshan Racecourse." Lu Yunran asked her again, "You shouldn't be cheating."

"You are right. Only if Huo Yanzhou recognizes me can I live a good life in this family." Xiang Xuan said slowly, and Lu Yunran felt relieved.

"Remember your words."

She smiled triumphantly and turned to leave.

By chance, he bumped into Huo Yanzhou who was about to enter the house at the door, "Cousin, cousin, hehehe."

"What are you doing, Frizzy?"

"I'm going back to the house to sleep. Good night, cousin." Lu Yunran ran quickly.

Huo Yanzhou walked in indifferently, without looking at Xiang Xuan on the bed, took off his tie and went directly into the bathroom.

Xiang Xuan turned off the bedside lamp, lay down and closed her eyes.

It would be better to visit Luzhai less frequently in the future.

Huo Yanzhou didn't know how long he had been taking a bath in it. When he heard footsteps coming out, Xiang Xuan closed his eyes and became alert.

She thought the man would sleep on the sofa like last time.

When she felt a sinking feeling in her back, her brows suddenly raised, but they quickly relaxed.

Suddenly!

The man's deep voice sounded: "There's no need to pretend to be asleep."

Xiang Xuan opened her eyes calmly and saw him lying on the bedside, wearing black pajamas, which were a couple's style with the white ones she wore.

Somewhat dazzling.

She put her emotions in her eyes and asked lazily: "I can't sleep, so do you want me to chat with you?"

Huo Yanzhou turned his head and looked at her.

Xiang Xuan poured out the bowl of tonic soup when he had the chance. But Huo Yanzhou was watched by Mr. Lu as he finished the drink. When he talked about this, he became depressed.

"Just read to me the French you didn't speak during the day."

With that said, Huo Yanzhou threw the book on Xiang Xuan, "Translate the sentence on the cover to be purified in suffering and gain salvation from the world."
