Seeing Xiao Xilin and Gu Yunxiao return together, Gu Yunyan's gaze slightly shifted. Ji Qingrou's expression had already changed, "You're still talking about why sister changed her clothes so much. You're actually going with sire?"

"I just met them. I heard that sister and Ji are drunk. Can you get up now?" Gu Yunxiao dodged the important matter easily. The sea falcon on her shoulder had already returned to Xiao Xilin's side. The two of them were separated by ten meters, yet Ji Qingrou was still jealous of the sour tone in her words.

"It's much better now, but I'm being rude in front of my lord." Gu Yunyan stood up and smiled apologetically at Xiao Xilin.

"Don't worry about it. Ten years of osmanthus wine, it's normal to be a bit greedy, but I don't care about the alcohol consumption of the two ladies. I should be the one lacking in manners." Xiao Xilin raised his hand, it was unknown when the cruise ship had docked back to the shore.

Gu Yunyan couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. She didn't know when she would be able to see Xiao Xilin again.

Ji Qingrou held onto the handkerchief in her hand and said with a red face, "I need an invitation from the lord today. I should be polite to you as well. Please come to the mansion and be a guest. Please don't refuse."

Gu Yunxiao raised her eyebrows. She was quite bold. She directly invited Xiao Xilin to set up a meeting with him the next time?

However, Gu Yunyan suddenly interrupted her: "Indeed, I hope that Lord Xiao can show me some face, when that time comes, my Gu's Mansion will definitely bring honor to your humble dwelling."

Ji Qingrou's face stiffened as she turned around to sneakily glare at him.

He was clearly talking about Marquis Stability Manor, how did it end up as the Gu family?

Gu Yunxiao lowered her eyes. If she still could not see through this elder sister's thoughts, then she really could not do anything about it.

Gu Yunyan refused to marry for the sake of Imperial Tutor Xiao?

No wonder he looked down on the only son of a third-grade official. With Xiao Xilin in front of him, which man could compare to him?

He was indeed worthy of being her elder sister. She was proud and arrogant, and was the number one person who fell for the Qing Kingdom young genius with a single glance.

"Of course, please." Xiao Xilin didn't seem to notice the ominous wave between the two and agreed with a smile.

Only when Gu Yunxiao got off the boat did she regain her senses.

Xiao Xilin had promised Gu Yunyan that he would be a guest at the Gu household next time.

Gu Yunyan had a smile on her face while Ji Qingrou was pinching her handkerchief, her expression extremely unsightly.

It wasn't easy for her to muster up the courage to invite Xiao Xilin. Who would have thought that Gu Yunyan, this Cheng Ya, would appear in the middle of the road and snatch him away?

However, Lord Imperial Tutor still agreed to it. If Ji Qingrou were to change her words now, it would be too stiff.

Since she couldn't invite others to Marquis Stability's residence for herself, then Ji Qingrou definitely couldn't leave the Gu family.

But who knew when Xiao Xilin would be a guest at the Gu household? Since when did she have the time to dress up in a hurry?

After thinking about it, Ji Qingrou originally agreed to follow Ji Jiaqian to Gu's Mansion.

However, Marquis's Wife was reluctant to part with it. She also didn't want to go to such a shabby place like the Gu family.

Although the Gu's Mansion wasn't as luxurious as Marquis Stability's residence and so, Ji Qingrou was naturally unwilling to exchange it for a place she was used to.

Marquis's Wife urged her to stay, and she agreed without hesitation.

If it wasn't for Hong Luan's conscience and the fact that she specially came back to report using Marquis's Mansion, Ji Qingrou might have missed out on the opportunity to swim with Xiao Xilin!

If he missed it next time, wouldn't that mean that he'd taken advantage of that damned Gu girl?

Ji Qingrou couldn't help but get angry when she thought of Gu Yunyan's face, which looked like the face of a disaster.

Gu Yunxiao, who had a face that was about the same as maidservant's, actually dared to target Lord Imperial Tutor and take away his gaze?

Without looking in the mirror, how could she compare to him?
