This answer was unexpected, and Shang Manyue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Men in this circle are more prudent and realistic when choosing a spouse. In addition to looking at your family background, appearance, and figure, the most important thing is that you want to be well-behaved, docile, generous and decent.

It can be taken out to support the scene, and it is easy to handle. No matter how messy it is outside, there is no need to worry about her making trouble.

Qingliu is indeed a Qingliu.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Gu Xianzhi's voice brought Shang Manyue back to her consciousness, and she realized that she had been staring at people. She smiled and said, "No, I just think... you are good like this."

Business is mutually beneficial and courtesy reciprocates.

The corners of Gu Xianzhi's lips curled up slightly.

He thought for a moment and said, "I know a jade collector who has many rare and unique items. If you need them, I can introduce them to you."

Take a look!

What does it mean that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is another village with dark trees and bright flowers!

The light in Shang Manyue's eyes instantly ignited, and she nodded, "You are really timely. I need it very much, so I'll trouble you."

Gu Xianzhi laughed, "You're welcome, I'll give him a call."

He took out his cell phone and made a call.

After finishing the chat, he lowered his eyes and looked at Shang Manyue, and said with some embarrassment: "Manyue, Mr. Ji will go abroad to see an exhibition tomorrow, and his return date is uncertain. If you want to choose a gift, you can only do it today, but... Ji The old gentleman lives a little far away, is that okay with you?"

"Okay." Shang Manyue agreed without thinking.

It doesn't matter, it's more important to be able to buy a good apology gift.

"Okay, then take my car."

Gu Xianzhi drove the car over, Shang Manyue got into the passenger seat, and the car drove into the traffic.

...

That night.

Huo Jingbo drove back to Full Moon Bay, got out of the car, and unconsciously glanced in the direction of the master bedroom on the second floor. The lights were still dim.

He frowned almost invisible, and then stepped inside.

Aunt Chen came forward and said, "Sir, you are back."

Huo Jingbo changed his shoes, took off his coat, and asked, "Where's my wife?"

"My wife hasn't come back yet." Aunt Chen answered truthfully.

In the afternoon, she received a call from him, saying that his wife had moved back today and asked her to prepare her dinner in the evening, but she never waited until his wife came back.

Huo Jingbo's hand holding his tie paused, "You're not back yet?"

Although her voice was calm, cold sweat broke out on Aunt Chen's back.

The young couple had been at odds for some time, and the husband was obviously in a low mood. She also hoped that the wife would come back soon, otherwise she would really be unable to handle it.

She thought for a moment and suggested weakly, "Perhaps there is something delayed? Sir, why don't you call and ask?"

Huo Jingbo didn't say anything, and just went upstairs with an expressionless face.

After entering the room, he took off his tie and threw it on the bed. He looked at the time, picked up his cell phone and dialed Shang Manyue's number.

A cold reminder came from the other side: The number you dialed is not in the service area...

Huo Jingbojun's face immediately darkened.

Blocked him again? Burning bridges?

He clicked on WeChat, found Shang Manyue's profile picture, and sent a message.

[Shang Manyue, do you know what time it is? Where are you? 】

[I agreed to move back today, and I want to see your person within an hour! 】

[Shang Manyue, you'd better stop trying my patience. You can't bear the consequences! 】

But the messages sent out also fell into the sea, with no response.

...

Shang Manyue originally thought that what Gu Xianzhi said was a bit far away, at most the suburbs, but he never expected that it was almost to the next city.

After four hours of driving on the highway, it was already evening when we arrived.

Fortunately, his introduction was correct. Mr. Ji has collected several jade-carved Guanyin statues here. The quality is also excellent, comparable to the one in Yushixuan.

Originally, Mr. Ji didn't want to sell it, but Shang Manyue had some persuasive talk, and since he had a good personal relationship with Gu Xianzhi, he agreed and sold it at a friendly price.

In order to express his gratitude, Shang Manyue hosted them and treated them to a meal before setting off back.

The road was blocked for a long time due to a car accident, so it was already twelve o'clock in the night when Gu Xianzhi sent Shang Manyue back to the gate of Full Moon Bay.

Shang Manyue looked at Gu Xianzhi, whose brows were stained with fatigue, and said guiltily: "Xianzhi, thank you very much for today, and I'm sorry to trouble you. You really helped me a lot this time. I'll ask you again another day." You have a feast!”

"Okay." Gu Xianzhi did not refuse.

He opened the door and got out of the car, walked around to the trunk, picked up the bag containing the Guanyin statue, and handed it over.

Shang Manyue took it carefully and held it in front of her.

She smiled and said, "Then drive back and be careful."

"Ah."

Gu Xianzhi got into the car again, lowered the window, and saw that she was still standing there. He waved to her gently, "Go in."

The car started and drove away.

Shang Manyue watched the car disappear into the darkness before turning around and walking inside.

When they got off the highway, Gu Xianzhi asked her where she was going. She originally wanted to go back to Jiang Yuan's apartment, after all, she hadn't packed her luggage yet.

Because the signal at Mr. Ji's house was not very good, she never looked at her phone. Only now did she see those urging messages from the dog on her phone, which made her want to unscrew his Tianling Cap.

She hesitated for a moment and then returned here.

It was dark in the villa. Huo Jingbo was usually asleep at this point. He rarely stayed up late and his schedule was as outrageous as that of an elderly person.

Shang Manyue changed her shoes lightly.

She beat the mistress today and ran around for more than eight hours. She was already exhausted and had no energy to deal with this shit.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the stairs, he heard footsteps above his head.

She raised her head suddenly, and Huo Jingbo stood on the steps with his hands in his pockets, chilling, looking down at her condescendingly.

His eyes were like blades, piercing her fiercely, like a night Shura who came to seek life.

Shang Manyue was so frightened that his heart suddenly shrank and he staggered. Fortunately, he held on to the handrail in time to stand firm.

She stroked her heart and took several deep breaths before she regained consciousness.

She said angrily: "Mr. Huo, do you know that scaring people can kill them?"

Huo Jingbo sneered, "If you don't do anything wrong, why should you be afraid?"

"..."

Who are you mocking? Didn't she just come back a little late? And it's not thanks to his true love, Xiao San'er.

"Shang Manyue, you don't answer calls and don't reply to messages. Are you using your mobile phone as a brick? Or are your ears just for decoration?"

Don't listen to the bastard chanting sutras!

Shang Manyuequan Yungao couldn't hear it at the time, and replied without blushing or heartbeat: "Ah, really? My phone ran out of battery and automatically shut down, so I didn't see it."

"But I'm not wandering around, I'm here to do something serious." She lifted the bag she was carrying, "Didn't I follow your instructions and go buy a gift for Mrs. Gu?"

Huo Jingbo's dark eyes swept over the bag, his thin lips pursed, and he said indifferently: "You spent the whole afternoon and the whole night with Xianzhi?"

Shang Manyue was stunned, and then realized that he should have seen Gu Xianzhi sending her back.

There's nothing that can't be said. She nodded, "Yeah, he's just right..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Jingbo interrupted in a deep voice, "Shang Manyue, I asked you to find gifts, not men!"
