Ambush from all sides

The lengthy discussion lasted until the early hours of the afternoon. During this period, the group finished their meal, had afternoon tea, and drank after tea.Withered Ye boredly counted that an old man went back and forth to the toilet seven times, but Zhan Hao still leaned on the chair motionless.The boss of the Zhan family is really in good health, but if you look closely, he doesn't seem to drink much tea, he just smiles calmly and listens to other people's conversations, answering a sentence or two from time to time.

This boss is so leisurely, Dead Ye silently cursed in her heart while looking at Zhan Hao's downcast eyes.Zhan Hao kept a gentle and appropriate smile on his lips, and his sitting posture was elegant and relaxed, with his legs crossed.From time to time, Zhan Hao would look this way, and he was also looking at him.If the two people's eyes met, he would smile meaningfully, and then quietly cast a slightly reserved wink at Dead Leaf.After coming and going, Dead Ye's ears burned a little, and she turned her face away to ignore him, but her heart was still twisting, a little unbelievable.This person, this, although he doesn't want to admit it, but really - good-looking, talented, and good-natured - really, do you like him?

Although this bastard pressed her down and kissed him for a long time this morning, Dead Leaf still felt unreal when looking at him from a distance.The world in front of my eyes seemed to be turned into nothingness in an instant, it was just a dream.

Hesitating in a daze, he didn't even know that the people in the inner room had come out.Zhan Hao had already noticed that he was in a daze inside. After the discussion, a boss proposed to go to his house to enjoy plum blossoms and drink at night, and he agreed after thinking about it.When he came out now, he saw Dead Ye still standing by the window in a daze, so he walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold him, and asked softly, "What are you thinking, let's go."

Dead Leaf was taken aback, although he knew it could only be Zhan Hao, but thinking of the outsiders around him, he couldn't help shaking his hands, and showed a guarded expression on his face.Zhan Hao's hand suddenly became empty, and his gentle expression couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but he returned to normal in an instant: "Did it scare you? It's my fault, but we are going to Zhongxi now, why don't you come together? "

Dead Leaf actually regretted it when she shook her hand, and now seeing Zhan Hao's calm and gentle appearance, she panicked even more.Zhan Hao didn't seem to think anything, and smiled at him, then tugged at his sleeve and walked downstairs.The people around didn't think much of it, at most they thought the guard had a good relationship with Young Master Zhan.But those bosses from out of town don't know, but the people in Changzhou Mansion know it all.That masked guard of Zhan's house used to be a powerful character running around the rivers and lakes, but when he came here and met Boss Zhan, he was subdued!Now that person is the darling of Young Master Zhan, he is so distressed that he has to hug him when he walks, tsk tsk, this blessing...

A group of people got into the carriage respectively and headed towards Zhongxi without haste.The Zhan family changed to a big carriage, and there were several people sitting in it, including Zheng Dongchonglian, Qiu Langxing, Uncle Zhong, and the two of them, a total of six people.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhan Hao couldn't make any moves, but he kept holding the dead leaf's hand, with a slight smile on his face, and he didn't let go of his fingers at all.

Zhongxi is not far from Changzhou, and it will arrive in half an hour.The owner's surname is Qin, and he has planted many plum trees in his house. There is a big plum garden behind the house.Zhan Hao had heard about this person, Boss Qin was very elegant, he had obtained a high degree of fame when he was young, but he had no choice but to come back to inherit the family business.When he got old, he handed over the management of the property to Di Deqing, and now he is like a hands-off shopkeeper.There are three daughters and two sons in the family. The daughters have reached the age of marriage, like flowers and jade, but the two sons are still young.

Zhan Hao himself felt it. During the meal just now, Boss Qin kept asking him about the situation in his family, how his parents were, and how his brother was doing, as if he wanted to use his daughter as his wife.Zhan Hao said it lightly, just hinting that he had a crush, but Boss Qin didn't seem to take it seriously and didn't care.

When they arrived at the Qin family's mansion, the meaning of Boss Qin couldn't be more obvious - it was his second daughter Qin Ruli who opened the door, and then took them to visit the plum garden to introduce the varieties, and she was the one who explained softly beside him.Zhan Hao listened absent-mindedly, turning his head from time to time to look for dead leaves.The little fox was at the back, and Zheng Dongchonglian was walking beside him, with his head lowered and his eyes downcast, looking not very interested.Zhan Hao was concerned about seeing it, and wanted to go over and pull him to his side, but he was afraid that he would feel embarrassed.

In front of her eyes, the dignified and generous girl Qin Ruli was still saying softly that this is cinnabar, this is the buttoned jade butterfly, and this is the jade platform shining on the water. She looked up and down at Zhan Hao calmly while her eyes were rolling.She also thinks that this person is good, with good appearance and temperament, but he is absent-minded, as if he is thinking about others.

For the following dinner, Boss Qin set the dining table in the bamboo workshop in the middle of the plum garden.This small house is transparent and open on all sides, only slightly partitioned by bamboo screens.When he was seated, Uncle Zhong planned to sit next to Zhan Hao, but this guy gave him a look, so the seat to his left became vacant.Boss Qin greeted everyone to sit down, and pushed Qin Ruli to Zhan Hao's right side with one hand, his intention couldn't be more obvious.Qiu Langxing and Zheng Dong were the last to come in, so they had to sit in the farthest seats.Dead Ye walked last, came in and saw that there was only an empty space on Zhan Hao's left.

Zhan Hao looked at him softly, and waved to him unhurriedly: "Bie Cen, come and sit here."

For a moment, the eyes of several bosses fell on Dead Leaf, with mixed suspicions in their hearts.Zhan Hao reserved this place too ostentatiously, and Di Deqing began to guess from the moment he sat down, who was the place reserved for?In the end, it turned out that it was the killer dead leaf from before.Boss Qin was also surprised, thinking that Zhan Hao didn't seem to talk to this guard much, but why did he reserve a place for him?

Being watched by everyone, Dead Leaf immediately felt a little uncomfortable.He pursed his lips, and walked over stiffly, as soon as he got to the seat, Zhan Hao took his hand and dragged him down, leaving Qin Ruli who was watching in a daze.

"Boss Zhan, this is..." Boss Qin sat next to his daughter and asked with some uncertainty.Zhan Hao fondly glanced at the sullen dead leaf, and said in a neutral voice, "He is my personal bodyguard, Cen Farewell."

When it comes to personal guards, a few old people who heard about Yueranju reacted and whispered in surprise: "That's right, that killer..."

Zhan Hao took over the conversation with a light smile, and at the same time pulled the dead leaf's hand to his side under the table: "Yes, he turned out to be the number one killer in the Jianghu, and he is very powerful." Although this sentence was said plainly, But coupled with that expression and eyes, almost everyone could hear an indescribable pampering.Boss Qin couldn't help but looked at Di Deqing in blank dismay, feeling a little suspicious in his heart, but he wasn't sure.

Naturally, they couldn't see them sitting on the side, but Qin Ruli could see them clearly from the side.Zhan Hao held the chopsticks in his right hand, while his left hand was tightly clutching the right hand of that bodyguard.It was time to eat in a while, and she saw the guard biting his lip and struggling, Zhan Hao calmly switched his left hand to grab it, and just clasped his fingers in an awkward position, holding the food for dinner with a calm expression .

How do you look like a pair of lovers.

Qin Ruli withdrew his gaze in a daze. Originally, his father had forgotten all the words he taught him and the gestures he took the initiative to show him. He even forgot the toast.Why hasn't she heard that the young master of the Zhan family is from a broken sleeve?Didn't someone tell him about several relatives before, even though they were all yellow... However, his younger brother Zhan Zhao is also with a man, just the Fifth Master Bai of Songjiang Mansion, but he is a handsome man after all, isn't he?The one Mr. Zhan looked for looks average, and he is wearing a mask. Maybe there are some ugly scars underneath... How could he be such a person?

Seeing his daughter in a daze, Master Qin couldn't help feeling anxious and kicked her under the table.Qin Ruli woke up in a daze, looked at his father in a daze for a long time, then stood up with a drink belatedly, lowered his eyebrows and said calmly: "Boss Zhan, from now on, father's business will be taken care of by you. Let me offer you a toast, little girl."

Zhan Hao stood up with a faint smile, and drank the cup with one hand.Boss Qin only cared about being happy at first, but after looking at it for a while, he realized something was wrong. What happened to Nephew Zhan Xian's other hand... After looking carefully, he found that the guard beside him seemed to reach Zhan Hao's right hand with his left hand.Boss Qin only felt a "buzz" in his head, and now everything is clear.

After dinner, it was already [-] o'clock in the evening. The old men saw that it was not early, some stayed overnight, and those who were going home said goodbye to Boss Qin one by one, and then left.Zhan Hao dragged the dead leaves to Boss Qin to say a few words, and was about to go back.Speaking of which, Boss Qin originally wanted to stay with Zhan Hao for a night, but after guessing a certain fact, his expression was always a little uncontrollable.Well, just take the example just now, he looked at Zhan Hao's hands clenched tightly with the dead leaves, his face looked like he had eaten a fly, he sighed, he couldn't laugh or cry.

But this is exactly what Zhan Hao wanted.He just wants to push the dead leaves in front of everyone, even if he doesn't tell the truth, at least let those people know, don't push people to him in the future, or the little fox will really get angry.He remembered the dead leaves in his heart, but it wasn't until he got into the carriage that Zhan Hao had the opportunity to look him upright.In the dim light, I saw Dead Leaf with a slightly sullen face, expressionless, neither speaking nor struggling, letting him hold his hands.

Uncle Zhong was still sitting beside him, and Chonglian and Zheng Dong were also opposite.Zhan Hao knows that Dead Leaf has no face, if he cares about him in front of so many people, he will feel uncomfortable again.Fortunately, these people are aware of current affairs, seeing that the atmosphere between them is not right, they all cooperatively turned their faces away, and turned their bodies to one side.So Zhan Hao turned his face, and gently leaned against the dead leaves.

"What, do you want to sleep?" Zhan Hao looked down at the dead leaf's expressionless face, and asked him in a very soft and low voice.Dead Leaf didn't speak, but turned her face away a little and didn't look at him.Zhan Hao laughed helplessly, rubbed his fingers gently between his hands, leaned closer and said: "I didn't know they were going to come out like this today, but they won't in the future, don't be angry."

He forced the dead leaves into the corner of the car, and there was no way to avoid them, so he frowned and replied in a muffled voice, "I'm not angry."

"Not angry?" Zhan Hao laughed softly, and his lips were close to his ears: "Not angry, what are you hiding?"

"I...that's you squeezing me!" Pushed to the brink of failure by him, Dead Leaf stretched out his hand to push him away in a rage, but he also grabbed the other hand, and hugged him tightly, body Leaning over again: "It's cold, I'm afraid you'll be freezing, wouldn't you be happy to give you a warmer to hug you?"

Withered Leaf was completely desperate for his cowardly behavior, with so many people around, he was so ashamed to do this!Under the fire, Dead Leaf couldn't help but gritted her teeth and spat: "Who wants to hug you! Hugging you is better than hugging a little mandarin duck!"

Hearing that Zhan Hao is not as good as a cat, the four of them who had been listening to the movement couldn't help but burst into muffled laughter, which made Dead Ye even more embarrassed.Zhan Hao didn't care, he still smiled lowly, and harassed his sweetheart: "How can you say that about me? I'm much more useful than a little mandarin duck, I can help you make supper for you Healing, combing your hair, taking a bath, kissing you, hugging you, and going to bed with you... Ouch!"

This time, the other people couldn't hold back any longer, and they all bit their lips and laughed sullenly.Withered Ye stood up angrily, walked to Uncle Zhong and sat down, leaving Zhan Hao alone in the corner rubbing his feet and gasping for air.

Tsk, I grabbed my hand and forgot I had feet.The little fox still has some martial arts, hiss, it really hurts...

Zhan Hao grinned his teeth while rubbing the feet trampled on by him, the dead leaf was trampled hard enough this time, he exerted a lot of force, and he didn't hesitate at all.Hearing the word "go to bed", he came over as soon as he stepped... It seems that there is still no rush, the little fox is not familiar enough, so he has to take his time, or, use something to catalyze it...

Young Master Zhan leaned against the corner with a dark face, kneading his feet while thinking, and after a while, a meaningful smile appeared on his mouth.

As soon as he got home, Dead Ye went angrily to the east courtyard, leaving Zhan Hao alone at the door.Uncle Zhong and Qiu Langxing sat in the carriage and smiled at him: "My wife has run away, why don't you go after her?"

Zhan Hao was not in a hurry, he kicked the snow under his feet leisurely, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "What's the rush, wait until I make a supper first."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, Quan Jing flicked his whip, and the carriage "creaked" and headed towards Zhong Zhai.Zhan Hao stood outside for a while, blowing the cold wind, and then walked slowly through the door, wandering towards the west courtyard.

Counting it, he hasn't been in the kitchen here for a long time, probably half a year.What happened in Suzhou, and what happened when the two separated, now I think about it and suddenly feel very long ago, as if a long time has passed.But after careful calculation, he only caught the dead leaves yesterday.It seems that no matter how deep or sad the pain is, it can be healed by happiness. Some things are indeed difficult, but once they are over, they are not worth mentioning.

Now, he can wash his hands and make soup for those he likes again.At this moment, he just felt that the previous pain, the previous endurance, is not painful now, and it is all healed.

During the meal just now, Zhan Hao remembered that the dead leaves didn't eat much, he was in a bad mood, and the food probably didn't suit his appetite.It's not that he's proud, the food at their Zhan's house is really delicious, the girl in the kitchen has been trained by Zhao Zhao for a long time.Now that the little fox's appetite has been cultivated, Zhan Hao can only feel very happy.He rolled up his sleeves and rummaged in the kitchen for a while, took out some ham, fish and carrots, thinking about making a bowl of porridge for the dead leaves.So I washed the rice and made a fire, simmered and simmered slowly, and it took half an hour to make the porridge.The boiled japonica rice was soft and fragrant, together with the rich smokey aroma of the ham, Zhan Hao tasted a little and felt satisfied, so he brought it up and walked to the East courtyard.

The lights were still on in the yard, and from the little fox's room, someone could be seen passing through the window.Zhan Hao slowly approached the door with the porridge, and listened quietly for a while—the dead leaves seemed to be teasing the cat.He laughed softly, then reached out and knocked on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, the people inside hesitated for a while, then got up and walked over.The door panel opened, revealing Dead Leaf's smelly face without a mask: "Why are you here so late?"

Zhan Hao raised the porridge bowl in his hand towards him, and said with a low smile, "I'll bring you supper."

As he said that, he couldn't help but push his foot in. Even the dead leaves couldn't stop him, so he could only watch him put the bowl on the table talking to himself: "I saw you didn't eat much at dinner, so you must be hungry now." After thinking about it, I made a bowl of porridge for you to eat... why are you standing here, come here."

Withered Ye stood at the door with a sullen face, struggling for a while, then closed the door, and came over reluctantly.It's true that he was hungry, but it didn't mean he had to eat—he was still angry, and just after he wiped himself off and was about to go to bed, this guy came.Withered Ye frowned, trying to look at the bowl of porridge with a distasteful and picky look, but unfortunately, Zhan Hao's craftsmanship was really good, and the fragrance wafted around, making him salivate a little bit.

Seeing his appearance of being very hungry but trying to resist, Zhan Hao felt funny in his heart, couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pushed the bowl towards him: "Eat, will you be full just by looking at it? Although this porridge hasn't been boiled for long, the rice is rotten, look, I also put fish meat, it's delicious." Withered Ye curled her lips, looked at it for a long time, then stretched out her hand, and brought the bowl to her eyes .

Zhan Hao tilted his head and smiled in satisfaction, resting his elbows on the table, resting his chin on the dead leaves and eating the porridge.Withered Ye sullenly ate half a bowl, her stomach was almost full, when she looked up, she saw Zhan Hao staring at him with half-closed eyes.He subconsciously tensed his face, pushed the bowl over in his hand, frowned and said, "I'm full."

Zhan Hao looked at him, still smiled, said "Oh" absent-mindedly, reached out to take the bowl, picked up the spoon, and ate the leftover porridge in two or three mouthfuls.

Seeing him eating his leftovers, Dead Leaf couldn't help being dumbfounded: "You, you really..."

Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows, showing an innocent look: "What's wrong with me?"

Withered Leaf gritted her teeth and turned her head angrily: "It's nothing! It's all right now, let's go!"

"You're so heartless to drive people away after you've eaten all you've eaten." Zhan Hao stood up muttering, reached out and held the bowl pitifully, and pretended to be: "I'm sorry that I went into the kitchen as soon as I came back. Your body stinks, and you won't even say thank you."

What I said, Dead Leaf was a little annoyed at first, but now she has become guilty.With his back to Zhan Hao, he struggled for a while, finally turned his body around a little bit, squinted at him, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you...thank you."

Listening to his hesitant words, seeing his guilty and awkward appearance, Zhan Hao's heart moved, he couldn't help but put down the bowl and walked over, stretching out his hand from behind to pull him into his arms.The dead leaf was startled, and naturally stretched its body and struggled vigorously, but Zhan Hao hugged him tightly, and softly coaxed him with his lips next to his ear: "Shh, don't move, I just hug him, won't do anything."

"You can't even hug me! Let go!" With a blushing face, Dead Leaf held his hand resolutely, and kept turning her head to the other side to prevent his breath from reaching her ears.Zhan Hao laughed softly, but did not let go, but hugged him even tighter: "Then you go on, anyway, you won't be able to break free, just your little internal strength." Ye couldn't help letting out a sigh of discouragement, feeling extremely depressed.His skill is not as good as before, but it's not that he can't shake it at all, right?Didn't Zhan Hao lose all his skills? Why now...?

Thinking about it, Dead Leaf frowned, and asked with some uncertainty: "Have you recovered all your skills?"

Seeing that he stopped struggling, Zhan Hao curled his lips, and hugged him a little more contentedly: "That's right, that's the way to practice the Goku music score, combine it with the poison of Yagi living water, die once, and then come back to life again , just like Xie Bai."

"So, you're all right now? The sixty-year-old curse is also broken?" Withered Ye asked with a frown, subconsciously tilting her head towards Zhan Hao.Zhan Hao hugged him, looked down at the lips of the little fox in front of him, his breathing gradually became slow and hesitant: "Yeah, it's okay, I can be with you for the rest of my life."

When Dead Leaf heard this, she immediately blushed again: "Who wants to be with you forever..."

"Ah?" Zhan Hao blinked suddenly, with an aggrieved expression on his face: "You don't want me? But I like you so much, what should I do if you don't want me? Will I be alone for the rest of my life?"

Withered Leaf was ashamed and embarrassed by his nonsense, and in the confusion of his head, he couldn't help stammering hastily: "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm not good enough for you, you can't find a lady, I Look at that Qin Ruli today is very good!"

When Zhan Hao heard this, his face froze for a moment, and then his eyes gradually softened.He looked softly at the pink earlobe of the dead leaves in front of him, and said in a low voice: "...so you are angry about this today."

"I'm not angry!" His mouth was always stiff, but Zhan Hao was too lazy to care so much.With a low smile, he buried his face on the dead leaf's shoulders for a while, then raised his face, poked his chin on his collarbone, and said, "What am I looking for with your ladies, and I don't like them. Besides, my son, Don’t I have one in my arms?” As he said that, Zhan Hao turned his face towards his neck, and said with a smile: “You are the heir of the famous Cen family, although the family members were framed, the bloodline cannot be changed Yes. Although you and Cen Jing are the only ones left in the Cen family, both of you are promising! Look, he works in Sitianjian, and you are the sister-in-law of Yumao Zhanzhao..."

Originally, the first half of the sentence sounded pleasant to the ear, but when she heard the sister-in-law of Yumao Zhanzhao, Dead Leaf couldn't help but fuss again: "Who is his sister-in-law? I'm not a woman, and I don't want to marry you." !"

Zhan Hao laughed and stretched out his hand to clamp him firmly, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You really don't want to be with me, really you don't want me?"

"I..." Now Dead Leaf was tongue-tied, froze in embarrassment and confusion, unable to say a word for a long time.Zhan Hao looked at him quietly, buried his head in his shoulder for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "I like you, only you, I want to be with you, I want to be with you forever. I don't expect you to say that Out of my mind, I just beg you, at least stay by my side, so that I can see you every day...don't leave me, okay?"

Hearing Zhan Hao's low-pitched words, Dead Leaf bit her lip, feeling entangled in her heart.It's not that he's hesitating whether to stay or not, but...he can't say it.Even though I like it and I am willing to stay, I am still ashamed to express my feelings and don't know how to express them.Just like now, these words obviously made him very heartwarming and touched, and his heart was sour, but he just couldn't say a word.

Fortunately, Zhan Hao understood him well, and knew that the silence of the man in his arms was not due to indifference.He raised his head and looked at the corners of Dead Leaf's tightly pursed lips and frowning brows, knowing that he was also worried, worried that his clumsiness would hurt himself.Zhan Hao looked at him quietly for a long while, then smiled slightly, and said, "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhan Hao felt the stiff body of the dead leaves in his arms relax instantly.The clumsy little fox who speaks insincerely, obviously wants to get close, obviously greedy for the warmth of his body, but he dare not take the initiative to take a step, but he is afraid that he will really be disappointed and leave.Zhan Hao hugged him, took a deep breath slowly, leaned close to Dead Ye's neck, curled up the corner of his mouth maliciously, and said in a low voice against his skin:

"Well, little fox, since you agreed to be with me, shouldn't you think about going to bed with me?"

The dead leaves were involuntarily immersed in the warmth just now, but when Zhan Hao came up with such a sentence, all the soft atmosphere disappeared in an instant!Dead Leaf was so angry with him, she gritted her teeth for a while, and finally stretched her muscles and bones to break free from Zhan Hao's embrace, kicking him out of the door:

"roll--"

So, today's Young Master Zhan was also happily kicked out by his sweetheart.

Then the next day, Zhan Hao found that his fox ignored him.

In fact, the line between indifference and indifference is very blurred, sometimes you will not have a word of conversation with some people inadvertently, especially his fox is reticent... But this Zhan Hao can still distinguish, dead leaves are Ignore him.

What is the specific performance?Ah, for example, when he was having breakfast, he sat on the farthest opposite side as soon as he came, and then found that he would look at each other when he raised his head, so he simply took a bowl and went outside to eat.Zhan Hao wanted to talk to him, but when he saw him from a distance, he turned around and left without paying any attention to him - isn't this a proper face slap?

Min Wei saw it from the side, her face was full of joy, hahaha said Brother Cen is going to abandon you, right?Doomed to stay alone, hahaha!

Zhan Hao couldn't help having a headache when he heard this, and stared sideways at her speechlessly, just then he heard someone knocking on the door, so he turned his face away and said, "What are you laughing at, go and open the door!"

Min Wei still pursed her lips, flung the dishcloth in front of his eyes, and opened the door with twists and turns.Zhan Hao sat down in the lobby depressedly, took a cup of tea and drank while looking at the door from afar.The door opened, but Min Wei hadn't seen it clearly yet, with a "huh", a tall man rushed in from outside.

The man was dressed in black and a black fur cape, and he called "Boss Zhan" as soon as he came in!Zhan Hao was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look, tsk, this man with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, high nose and thin lips, is really handsome.It looks very familiar, but a little strange.Just as he was frowning and thinking, a child ran out from behind the other party.That's all you need to know, she is also handsome and cute, the baby who should be in Suzhou, Pei Xi.

"Uncle Zhan!" Pei Xi jogged all the way towards him, and Zhan Hao stood up, only then did he realize that the man just now was Pei Junrong who had shaved his beard.The father and son are really alike, they look alike in temper, and they also have alike stubborn temperament.At this time, Pei Xi ran up to him, and Zhan Hao stretched out his arms to hug him, and said with a smile, "It's so early, I thought you guys would come in the afternoon."

"Afternoon? This bastard can't wait until the afternoon. As soon as he heard that he was coming to Changzhou, he jumped away, yelling to see Uncle Zhan and Uncle Cen." Pei Junrong walked in with a stinky face, and stretched out his hand to grab Pei Xi In the past, by the way, he also flicked a brain hammer on his head.Pei Xi bared his teeth and claws under his father's restraint, and yelled angrily: "Get out! Pei Junrong, let me down, I'm going to find Uncle Cen!"

Zhan Hao smiled at the two of them, then looked at the door again.Pei Junrong is here, and Li Chong should be here as well—as expected, he is wearing a silver-gray cloak, leading the little girl Shaosi in his hand, and he is walking this way, and a boy behind him is holding a wooden box.Zhan Hao smiled and waved at him. Li Fei's expression was unnatural, but he also twitched his mouth.

Looking at Shao Si and Pei Xi, who was making troubles all the time, Zhan Hao rubbed his brows, and asked a little puzzled: "Master Pei, it's fine if you come, after all, I asked you to help get the bill, but this What happened to the two little devils?"

"Ah, these two?" Pei Junrong stretched out his hand to catch Pei Xi, who had been moving all the time, and his dark handsome face twitched tirelessly: "I'm busy with cloth village every day, and Shaosi's mother is here. We don’t have time to help with food. These two brats are making noise every day and don’t listen to me. Pei Xi even broke the tiles on the roof of his house two days ago. I heard that you have a child here, and Pei Xi also likes it. You and Dead Leaf, I just thought about bringing them here and going to private school together."

"Go to a private school?" Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows, looked at Pei Xi, then at Shao Si: "Could they be a little younger?"

The corner of Min Wei's mouth twitched when she heard that, you think it's too young for someone to be six or seven years old, but don't you think Fang Qiu is too young for five years old?At this time, Fang Qiu, who was playing in the yard, heard the movement, and leaned over with his head.Seeing him, Pei Junrong was stunned: "Is this the child you raised?"

Zhan Hao calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Mm, yes."

Pei Junrong kicked his eyes, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch involuntarily: "Pei Xi is seven years old, you think it's too young, this baby looks at most five years old, so you let him go to private school?" Zhan Hao shook his head disapprovingly while sitting in the chair, and said "Fang Qiu is smart, he can go to a private school." While talking, he reached out and took the child who walked in front of him into his arms, stroked his head, and whispered, "Come on, Fang Qiu, call me Uncle Pei."

Fang Qiu opened his eyes and looked at Pei Junrong for a while, then at Pei Xi, and then said in a steady and clear voice, "Uncle Hei."

When Pei Junrong heard it, he exploded in an instant: "Day—what does this baby call me? Uncle Hei?! I am bronze, okay? It's a symbol of health and strength! You little baby, don't you want it yet!"

Li Wei looked at him coldly, and suddenly said: "What are you talking about, you are black in the first place."

Pei Junrong turned to him aggressively with staring eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "What are you shouting about?! Do I still need to shout? It's true! I'm masculine, I'm not like you guys, all of you are thin-skinned, tender-fleshed, white-faced and fair-faced. I have no body, no strength at all, let alone stamina, and I fainted after a few strokes..."

"Ahem," hearing Pei Junrong's words getting more and more unsuitable for children, Zhan Hao could only helplessly cough twice to stop his words, "Well, it's actually no problem for Pei Xi and Shao Si to stay with me. Qiu is alone, two more companions are also good. Min Wei, you take Master Pei and the two little guys to choose a room, Li Fei, you stay here and tell me about the situation in Suzhou."

Min Wei agreed, reached out to hug the little girl up, teased the little girl affectionately, and took Pei Junrong outside.As soon as he walked out of the lobby, Pei Xi, who was caught by his father, saw something, so he shouted excitedly: "Uncle Cen!"

When Zhan Hao heard this, he turned his head and looked out reflexively, and saw Dead Ye holding the little mandarin duck, and his whole face froze in the direction of the west courtyard, as if he had stepped on dog shit.He looked at Pei Xi, then at Shao Si, and after a while, the corners of his mouth twitched stiffly, and he gave an ugly smile.Immediately, he moved his eyes and saw Zhan Hao in the lobby... Then, Zhan Hao saw his little fox stare at him in disgust, and turned his face away in a stinking manner.

Seeing the dead leaves throwing face at him again, Zhan Hao was not angry, instead he smiled at him kindly.Seeing the dead leaves, Pei Xi immediately broke free from his father's grip, and rushed towards him.Li looked at the noisy people outside the house very silently, looked away for a while, and asked Zhan Hao lightly: "You two, are you together now?"

Zhan Hao took a sip of tea with a smile, and blinked noncommittally: "Well, we're together, it's hard to catch him."

Hearing this, Li very lowered his eyes and remained silent.After a while, he turned around and handed the wooden box to Zhan Hao from the clerk, and said in a calm voice, "This is the accounts of Longbaiju, Cloth Village, Fishery and several other firms, as well as some recent developments sorted out by Yuan He. Take a look." Zhan Hao took it, flipped through it absently and then put it down: "I'm too lazy to read, just tell me."

Li Wei raised his eyes, his eyes looked a little disappointed, and there was a gloomy self-deprecating emotion in his eyes: "You are being polite to me now, but before, you would rather see for yourself than say a word to me."

Zhan Hao calmly put down the teacup, remained silent for a while, and said plainly: "It was different before. You were too impetuous before, always thinking of impossible things. Now that you have calmed down, you should be more trustworthy."

Hearing what he said, Li Fei was speechless for a while, but there was a wry smile on his face and his eyes were empty.He leaned back in the chair in silence for a long time, reached out to take a booklet, and slowly began to report to Zhan Hao on the recent situation in Suzhou.Zhan Hao listened, looked at him, and felt that Li Fei had changed a lot, but rather than being calm, it was better to say that his previous self-confidence and arrogance had all been worn away.Now he is like a strangled hound, who has been taught too much, and instead becomes depressed.Zhan Hao doesn't know what's going on between him and Pei Junrong, but looking at it like this, I'm afraid it's not going well.And I guess it hasn't been a while since I was suppressed, just Lao Pei's violent temper...

Zhan Hao lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, took the teacup beside him for a while, and drank it thoughtfully.In Li Fei's ear, he was still talking at a moderate level, his eyes were heavy, and the proud temperament between his brows and eyes before was gone now.

After dinner in the evening, Pei Xi happily took Shao Si to the dead leaves to make a fuss, which probably annoyed the little fox to death.Zhan Hao and Li talked about things in Suzhou very much, and felt that they still had to go there, thinking that if they went tomorrow, they would finish things earlier and come back for the Lantern Festival.Li had no opinion at all, and thought it was pretty good. It should be said that he didn't say anything too constructive throughout the whole process, with a calm, low-key and indifferent look.Looking at it, Zhan Hao felt a little embarrassed, so he simply sent him to take a shower and rest, while he continued to read Yuan He's small report in the lobby.After a while, Zhan Hao heard Pei Junrong humming a ditty from nowhere, he raised his eyebrows, waved Min Wei over, and told her to go to the cellar to get a jar of Xinfeng wine, and to drink and chat with Master Pei later.

Min Wei went there without being surprised, and Pei Junrong walked towards the lobby with a satisfied expression on his face, as if he just got out of a hot bath.Seeing his dizzy and comfortable appearance, Zhan Hao thought to himself that he is a rough man after all, he knows how to love women, but he doesn't know how to love men.

"Boss Zhan, there is nothing left.
