C50

Xia Ying carefully listened to Fu Guoqian's breathing, and an unspeakable bitterness arose in his heart. If it wasn't for Xia Xingyu, how could her Brother Quan be so cold to him?

"Brother Power, I won't force you anymore. You don't want to get married …" It doesn't matter! "

Xia Ying knew he couldn't push too hard on a man who liked to take the initiative.

However, she couldn't control herself from sticking close to him. If she didn't control herself now, she would lose this man.

He slept all the way until nightfall, and today, no one discovered that Xia Xingyu was missing.

Ning Xi had long known that Xia Xingyu was at Shen Peian's place, and she was extremely nervous.

"Where's the star elm? "Still not back yet?"

Finally, Xiahou Yong realized it when they were eating.

Ning Xi uncomfortably looked towards the door before replying.

"Not yet. This child is becoming more and more unruly. When she returns, I'll have a good talk with her!"

They were the only two at the huge dining table, Xia Ying and Fu Guoqian were having their meals in the room.

Xiahou Yong looked at Ning Xi with interest, sneering coldly.

"Since she hasn't returned yet, why don't you help her out with the trade department's matters? She'll be out tonight, it's quite urgent."

Xiahou Yong had loved this woman for many years, and he couldn't wait to spend all of his energy on her. However, this didn't mean that he would be able to calmly watch her betray him.

If Ning Xi wasn't able to handle this test, Xiahou Yong might really have to make a move against her.

"…"

"Alright!"

Ning Xi hesitated for a moment before resolutely agreeing.

She met Xiahou Yong's gaze without fear and was extremely resolute. This was the strength of a mother.

"Ha!" It's just a signed contract, you don't have to put on such a brave front to die! "

Ning Xi choked on his words, and simply didn't reply.

Xia Xingyu stayed with Shen Peian for two days, searching online for the latest developments regarding the Imperial Group.

She was afraid that the news about Ning Xi would spread. In this situation, no news was the best news.

"Big sister Xingyu, I cut some fruits, come here to eat."

Zhang Qingge appeared with a face full of smiles, showing her enthusiasm.

However, Xia Xingyu was clearly younger than Zhang Qingge, so he didn't know where this' older sister 'came from.

"Well, thank you!"

As Xia Xingyu spoke, she covered up the laptop, stood up and walked towards the living room.

Zhang Qingge looked at the laptop that Xia Xingyu had placed on the table with interest. She had a nagging feeling that there was something inside.

"Are we on the island?"

Xia Xingyu glanced outside before asking.

This question had been plaguing her mind for several days now.

It was surrounded by the sea and there was no sign of land. However, if it was an island, then it should be filled with forest and rocks, and there was only a huge villa.

Zhang Qingge shook her head and didn't answer Xia Xingyu's question. Instead, she changed the topic to Shen Peian.

"Do you like brother Payan?"

Zhang Qingge asked with an unnatural expression. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that she had feelings for Shen Peian.

Xia Xingyu stared at her for a while, then slightly curled her lips before replying.

"If you like him, I can help you set up the match!"

With these words, Zhang Qingge's face turned red, even though she didn't intend to hide her intentions from Xia Xingyu.

However … She had never been in love before.

When her heart was moved, Zhang Qingge met Shen Peian. She was not the kind of girl to be careless. She felt a bit embarrassed to expose her thoughts to the sunlight.

She pursed her lips, deliberately avoiding Xia Xingyu's scrutiny.

"Big Sister Xingyu, you must be joking. Big Brother Peian and I have been friends for many years …"

Zhang Qingge's words, in addition to the blush on her face, really had the meaning of 'no difference at all'.

Xia Xingyu didn't say anything, and just continued to eat the fruits.

Suddenly she heard a series of footsteps. At first she thought it was Shen Peian, but as the sound of his shoes grew closer, Xia Xingyu guessed it was a woman.

"Long time no see, Miss Xia!"

A light blue taunting voice rang out, making Xia Xingyu feel a bit uncomfortable.

From the very beginning, this woman held a deep hostility towards her, but the reason was clear to Xia Xingyu.

"Yes."

Xia Xingyu indifferently replied, she was too lazy to bother with this kind of woman who wanted to cause trouble.

"Big sister Jadeblue, is there something important that brought you here?"

Zhang Qingge seemed very happy to see her. Right, they were in the same unit, so naturally, their relationship was deep.

"Nothing much. I just heard that the Imperial Conglomerate's plan was advanced, so we have to make our preparations in advance. Just watch Miss Xia carefully, don't let her disturb Chief Shen's actions."

A simple sentence from Jane Lan caused a ripple in Xia Xingyu's heart.

Had the Empire's plan been advanced? Does this mean that the tragedy before his rebirth will happen again?

No, she must beg him to bring her mother here.

With this thought, Xia Xingyu got up, returned to his room, and closed the door.

"When will you be back, Shen Peian?"

Xia Xingyu couldn't reach him on the phone, so she left him a message.

She paced around the room anxiously, looking at her mother's name on the contact list, but she didn't dare to press the number.

Gritting his teeth, Xia Xingyu finally made the call.

[BEEP ~ ~ BEEP ~ ~]

After two phone calls, someone hung up. This caused Xia Xingyu to feel a strong uneasiness in her heart.

When he called again, Ning Xi's phone was actually turned off.

At the same time, Shen Peian had also returned. He looked at the message that Xia Xingyu had left for him, and couldn't help smiling.

However, that joy completely disappeared the moment he saw Jane Blue.

"Where's Miss Xia?" "Where is she?"

This question was obviously asked by Zhang Qingge.

Shen Peian felt an indescribable disgust towards Jane Lan. Although her execution ability was not bad, her aggressive attitude was really uncomfortable.

Zhang Qingge pointed to Xia Xingyu's room and said.

"Just now, Big Sister Dan Lan mentioned some matters regarding the Imperial Conglomerate. Miss Xia then shut herself up in her room."

In simple terms, Zhang Qingge had pushed all the blame onto Jane Lan.

In the army, Jane Lan had bullied her everywhere, and whenever she had any interaction with Shen Peian, she would always be ridiculed by this woman.

Zhang Qingge would remember these grudges in her heart.

Hearing this, Shen Peian was truly angered. He glared at Jian Lan before walking towards Xia Xingyu's room.

After Shen Peian had left, Jane Lan approached Zhang Qingge, her red lips curled up in a sneer.

"Qingge, how long have you been out of the army?"

"He has truly mastered the art of flawless dexterity!"
