Night falls.

Huo Yanzhou also finished processing all the documents, then looked up and found Xiang Xuan still sitting there reading.

Butler Zhang knocked on the door at this time, "Master, Master, the food is ready, it's time to eat."

He responded, stood up, walked to the sofa, closed the book in Xiang Xuan's hand, "Eat."

Ever since Chen Jin came in to report the matter, and since Xiang Xuan had not found what she wanted in the books, her face had been gloomy.

very unhappy.

"These books can't escape. You can come over and read at any time." Huo Yanzhou picked up the black and gold bookmark on the coffee table and sandwiched it with the page that Xiang Xuan just saw.

"Well, next time." Xiang Xuan went out directly.

Dinner was just for the two of them.

After eating for only a few minutes, guests came to Langting.

Butler Zhang was a little surprised, "Master, are there any guests coming tonight?"

Huo Yanzhou said calmly: "No."

"Then I'll go take a look."

Xiang Xuan was eating quietly when some familiar voices came from the entrance.

Su Youchen saw the two of them eating and gave Jiang Qi a thumbs up: "Second brother, you are really good at calculating with your fingers. Ninth brother and sister-in-law are really eating."

"I told you that I will definitely help you get this meal." Jiang Qi waved and said politely to Butler Zhang: "Butler Zhang, help us prepare the dishes and chopsticks."

Butler Zhang smiled and nodded, and asked the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes.

Su Youchen and Jiang Qi pulled Shen Qiuting and shamelessly sat opposite Xiang Xuan.

Shen Qiuting nodded and said hello to Xiang Xuan, and then took the initiative to admit his mistake to Huo Yanzhou: "Brother Ninth, they insisted on dragging me here. I am innocent."

Jiang Qi poured himself a glass of water, "It's so boring for you two to eat. Opening more mouths makes it more lively, isn't it, sister Xiang Xuan?"

Xiang Xuan could tell at a glance that they came here intentionally, and most likely they wanted to see Huo Yanzhou for something.

She smiled lightly: "I have no objection."

The more Jiang Qi looked at her, the more he liked her, and he felt that she and Lao Jiu were a perfect match. "Sister Xiang Xuan is so considerate."

"The collective is bankrupt and has no food to eat, so they come to me to get food." Huo Yanzhou complained ruthlessly.

"If I go bankrupt, I can live in your house." Jiang Qi took the dishes and chopsticks given by Butler Zhang and said thank you. He took the food and stuffed it into his mouth. He was very satisfied and said to Xiang Xuan, "Xiang Xuan." Sister Xuan, you are really blessed with delicious food. This guy’s chefs are all specially recruited from the private sector, and the dishes he cooks cannot be eaten outside."

"It's not like us, who can only come here occasionally. But this guy is so stingy that he can't even come here."

His complaints made Su Youchen and Shen Qiuting silently shut up.

Huo Yanzhou gave him a look.

Xiang Xuan took a bite of the crispy meatballs and said, "The chef at home is very good at cooking."

Jiang Qi strongly recommended: "Try asking the chef to make you a late-night snack later, especially the small yellow croaker seafood noodles. It tastes very delicious."

"I got greedy as soon as the second brother told me." Su Youchen tilted his head and asked Huo Yanzhou, "Ninth brother, can you wait until I finish my supper before going back tonight? Otherwise, I can stay here overnight."

"Go back to your nest." Huo Yanzhou said without temper.

But he was looking at Xiang Xuan's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Xiang Xuan responded: "Then I'll try it later." Then he ate the remaining crispy meatballs.

After dinner, the four of them went to the study to talk.

"For what?" Huo Yanzhou opened his mouth to ask, and the atmosphere became solemn.

"Aside from the bad things in the imperial capital, what else could it be?" Jiang Qi changed his usual bohemian demeanor, sat down, and put his arms on the armrests of the sofa.

Su Youchen and Shen Qiuting sat down one after another.

Jiang Qi frowned and said a little more deeply, "The turmoil in the imperial capital is ahead of schedule than we planned. What are you going to do?"

Shen Qiuting adjusted his glasses, "No matter how anxious you are, you can't return to the imperial capital in a short time, otherwise it will be easy to be suspected. Besides, haven't the Huo family not given the news to Ninth Brother to return to the imperial capital?"

Su Youchen was puzzled: "Do we have to wait until the Huo family gives us the news?"

Huo Yanzhou lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke, which blurred the sinister look under his black eyes. "If they make a fuss, I won't go to the Imperial Capital in the next few months."

The three of them looked at each other, obviously not expecting Huo Yanzhou to change his mind temporarily.

Jiang Qi frowned: "Because of Xiang Xuan?"

For an instant, Huo Yanzhou's mind reflected Xiang Xuan's abnormal expression today, as if he was determined about something. "Um."

Seeing that he deserved it so quickly was something they didn't expect.

"Brother Ninth, you..."

Shen Qiuting coughed slightly, interrupted Su Youchen, and expressed his thoughts, "It has been more than half a month since my sister-in-law moved into Langting. It can be regarded as breaking the curse on Brother Ninth in disguise. Brother Ninth, are you planning to I also want to reveal my sister-in-law’s identity.”

"No." Huo Yanzhou's mood was unpredictable, and he continued: "The more noise they make in the imperial capital, the more beneficial it will be to us. We don't need to calculate the time to implement it."

Huo Yanzhou has changed the topic because he doesn't want to talk about Xiang Xuan anymore.

The three of them tacitly agreed not to ask any further questions.

"Even if this is the case, we still have to think about the possibility that things may change at any time." Jiang Qi reminded him, "Some things should not be taken lightly."

Huo Yanzhou put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said, "Then do this..."

----

The next day, hospital.

Xiang Xuan's arm was examined again. The doctor said it was recovering well and removed the plaster.

The doctor temporarily explained some precautions.

Then Xiang Xuan was let go.

Sitting in the car, Huo Yanzhou opened a bottle of yogurt with dried fruits and handed it to her. "Are you going back to school?"

"Go to the store."

After taking a sip, Xiang Xuan screwed the lid on and said, "Just leave me halfway."

"I'll take you there directly to avoid taking a taxi."

Faced with Huo Yanzhou's meticulous care, Xiang Xuan was not disturbed and did not refuse.

Arriving at the store, I said goodbye to Xiang Xuan and got out of the car.

Huo Yanzhou did not immediately let Chen Jin drive away, but took a look at the store. "drive."

Xiang Xuan, who had already entered the store, came out from the side, looked at the car in the distance, and turned to go to the office.

She told Boss Zhao that she was going to meet Jiang Qi today.

After hearing this, Boss Zhao was shocked, "So the person who repeatedly wanted to sign you in the Flag Arena was Mr. Jiang?"

"Yes." Xiang Xuan reminded him, "Do as I say to avoid any mistakes."

"do not worry."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Qi came.

Boss Zhao led the people to the second floor with a smile on his face: "Master Jiang, my brother is waiting for you inside."

"Thanks."

Inside, Xiang Xuan raised his head and looked at Jiang Qi who opened the door and came in.

Seeing that he was wrapping himself up so tightly at this time, Jiang Qi felt a little disappointed in his eyes.

He thought he would be able to see the true face of Mount Lu today.

"Master Jiang."

The specially changed voice is a bit masculine.

Jiang Qi smiled and sat on the chair opposite him, "You are still so tightly wrapped in your own territory?"

Xiang Xuan got straight to the point: "If you want to sign a contract with me, it's my condition that you don't show your face. If Mr. Jiang feels it's inappropriate, then there's no need to talk about it next."
