Wishful Things

That's... Xiaoqi?

Xu Mingyi stopped and looked intently.

Outside the bustling Hualou, a young man in indigo-blue dress stood aside, seemingly keeping his eyes on him, but actually paying attention to the people passing by.

It was indeed Xiao Qi.

Xu Mingyi was sure this time.

She knew about Xiaoqi returning to Ningyang with Wu Chao.

And Xiao Qi is guarding here at this time, obviously waiting for someone outside——

So...Wu Chao is visiting brothels?

I haven't seen him for more than two months. When she first arrived in Ningyang, she bumped into him going in and out of this romantic place. Is it a coincidence, or... is it a common occurrence for this person, is it so common?

As soon as this idea came out, Xu Mingyi's mood was a little complicated, and he shook his head slightly without complimenting.

but……

She really couldn't help being a little curious——

Wu Shisun, who usually refuses to let women get close to him easily, and would take a detour when he sees a girl's advances, what kind of girl would he like?

Thinking like this, Xu Mingyi subconsciously leaned forward and looked into the building.

At this moment, a figure came out of the building and broke into her sight.

The young man was wearing a crow-green pan gown, his skin was as white as jade, and his temperament was noble. He looked out of place in the bustling fragrance of makeup and powder, like a clear spring in a high mountain in winter, exuding a clear and cold feeling.

He obviously doesn't look like someone who loves brothels...

Could this be the so-called having a deceiving face?

Xu Mingyi muttered to himself, and wanted to go forward, but hesitated inexplicably—after careful study, it seemed a little bit of a cowardly feeling.

It was rare for her to do so, but this strange hesitation lasted only for a moment.

Xu Mingyi walked through the crowd and walked towards the young man.

When he was about to get close to his side, he opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound, instead he stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder.

Sui Jiang next to Wu Chao reacted very quickly. A stranger approached his grandson with unknown intentions. This made him subconsciously draw his sword, but Xiao Qi quickly held down his hand.

Sui Jiang frowned and looked at him.

With such a guarded heart, how dare you claim to be from a secret guard?

A truly qualified hidden guard is to put the knife on the opponent's neck first, no matter what the opponent's plan is!

Xiao Qi smiled and shook her head slightly at him.

Sui Jiang became more and more puzzled, and then looked at his son, who should have been on the same alert, and couldn't even let this person get close to him—the son must have been distracted just now, and he gave the other party an opportunity, right?

But now, the appearance of his young master does seem to be distracted.

Wu Chao, who turned his head, looked at the person in front of him in a daze.

Was he... hallucinating?

Or, dreaming again?

Most likely, it was a dream that he went to the capital to find her—does he even dare to have the unrealistic dream of her coming to Ningyang now?

"Wu Shisun, long time no see."

Xu Mingyi spoke with a relaxed tone, but his mood was rarely disturbed.

She might have been presumptuous in coming to Ningyang this time, and she didn't have time to talk to him before she came.

"My lord, this is Miss Xu..." Xiao Qi who was on the side broke the short silence with a reminder in his voice.

I can't see you for more than two months, the young master has even forgotten what Miss Xu looks like, right?

Hey, before leaving, the young master washed Miss Xu's handkerchief with his own hands, so forget it.

Wu Chao came back to his senses and glanced at Xiao Qi.

Of course he knew who the person in front of him was...

This seems to be a kind reminder, but in fact, isn't it a trick to give Xu Mingyi eye drops in front of him?

With a sweetheart boy, what he thinks seems to be very picky and "narrow".

However, this thought only passed in a flash, and after all, I really can't spare too many other thoughts at the moment——

"I... was just too surprised. I never thought Miss Xu would appear suddenly." Wu Chao explained, with a smile that couldn't be concealed from the corners of his mouth and eyes.

Even now he still felt that it was not real.

Xu Mingyi's heart was slightly relaxed, and there was a temptation in his words that he didn't even realize——

"It came so suddenly, didn't it disturb Wu Shisun?"

"No way!" Wu Chao answered decisively.

It's too late for him to be happy, how could he feel disturbed?

Can……

disturb?

The young man belatedly realized...he seemed to have just come out of the biggest brothel in the city?

What she meant was such a "disturbance"?

Thinking of this, the young man felt a rumble in his head—he couldn't afford this crime!

"I just entered Yingyue Tower just now, but I was actually doing business." Wu Chao lowered his voice a little, and explained calmly and calmly, "In order not to make people feel strange, I just pretended to have two glasses of wine—"

As he said that, he was afraid that the clever girl in front of him would not believe it, so he looked at Sui Jiang: "Come and testify, have I ever acted out of line in the building from the beginning to the end?"

Sui Jiang: ...?

Is the young master's feeling of being caught in a brothel and trying his best to prove his innocence really exist?

And... he also said that he was doing business, so he could casually tell outsiders the secrets of this kind of clan?

At this moment, Sui Jiang even had the illusion that "the girl in front of her disguised as a man is not a stranger, but his mistress"...!

When things happened suddenly, the feeling of being a mistress descended from heaven was really overwhelming. He could only nod his head and said solemnly: "The subordinates have been guarding the left and right, never leaving an inch, and I can guarantee my life. Extraordinary move."

Although he didn't know why he still took his life as a guarantee, maybe he had been infected by his grandchildren's weird desire to survive.

Hearing these words, Xu Mingyi suddenly realized.

She just said, Wu Shisun didn't look like someone who would go shopping in brothels at all.

The misunderstanding cleared up, and her mood became more pleasant. She blinked her eyes, joked, but said truthfully: "I still think there is a girl Wu Shisun likes."

Wu Chao denied it sternly: "...There is absolutely no such thing."

He is a girl he likes...

But right now it was standing in front of him.

The young man was afraid of revealing the clues, so he pulled back his thoughts in time, and immediately asked: "By the way, why did Miss Xu come to Ningyang at this time?"

"Do something."

Xu Mingyi replied casually, without directly explaining why he came - he was most afraid of being entangled, if he knew that she had come all the way here to care for him, once his non-stop mind turned, he would be scared out of his body, and never see him again her?

"Why didn't I hear you mention it in your letter?" Wu Chao said, "I should have personally greeted you when you came to Ningyang."

"It was also a temporary decision, so I didn't have time to inform Wu Shisun in advance."

Wu Chao vaguely felt that she hadn't finished what she had said, and after looking around, he also felt that this was not a good place to talk, so he asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Xu Mingyi shook his head and said to him: "Not yet, I plan to take a stroll around and eat something casually. If Wu Shisun still has business to do, let's meet again in the future. I will live in the Yinxian Building in front for the time being. .”

She intended not to delay his business, but as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the young man in front of her say: "I haven't eaten yet."

Sui Jiang looked puzzled.

——Before going to Yingyue Tower, didn't you just have dinner?
