“Thank you for waiting for me, Big Niangzi. What’s the matter?”Xie Xian walked over and sat down.

The elegant house was a high-class tavern with a luxurious and quiet environment. Several tables were placed on the southeast side. The west side was where the door was, while the north side was covered by a piece of gauze. There were musical instruments such as zither and zither placed there. They either played by themselves or asked the actors in the elegant house to sing. The wall behind them had many poems and paintings by celebrities, which were extremely elegant.

Lady Xiao was in the south, while Xie Xian chose to kneel behind a few tables in the east.

Xiao Baoxin raised his eyebrows,”You can’t see the constant attendant if there’s nothing important?”

Xie Xian maintained his smile and remained distant and polite.

“Men and women shouldn’t touch each other. I’m afraid that people will see us when we meet like this. As for Eldest Lady…”

“Bad reputation.”

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Baoxin spoke first. His voice was slightly dragged and raised, and his clear voice was gentle and light. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile as she tilted her head slightly to look at Xie Xian. She looked innocent and charming.

“To think that Chang Shi has the heart to carefully protect Bao Xin’s reputation. However, the two of us are innocent, so we’re not afraid of others gossiping about us, right?”

As he spoke, he picked up the cup of hot tea that was 60% full and slowly walked to Xie Xian’s side to place it on the table.

Xie Xian only felt a delicate fragrance unique to his daughter’s body, and his heart couldn’t help but jump.

“.. Although the innocent would be clear, there were many fools in the world. It was inevitable that they would fall into the eyes of others and cause misunderstandings.”After a pause, he said,”Why did you come to find me?””

Xiao Baoxin snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at him. He walked back to his seat and sat down with a provocative expression.

“Can’t I invite you out for a meeting?”She said,”l only want to live up to my conscience. 1 don’t care what others think.” Since he is a fool, why should I care about him? Who I meet and who 1 like has nothing to do with them.”

Hearing ‘who do you like,’ Xie Xian’s heart jumped again, and he hurriedly avoided the burning gaze in front of him.

The hint was too obvious.

“Do you think it’s right, Chang Shi?” Xiao Baoxin chuckled. This guy who said one thing and meant another.

For some reason, she felt that the more she looked at Xie Xian, the cuter he became. He was straight with his mouth, but he was honest in his heart.

Although she was five or six years older than him, she was like a child who clearly loved candy and kept pushing it away. Little did she know that her eyes were glued to the fruit and could not be pulled out. She was just lying to herself. In fact, anyone could tell that the child liked candy.

Thank you, little friend.

“If Eldest Lady has nothing else to do, then Xian will take his leave first. There are many miscellaneous matters in the residence and cannot be delayed.”

This was Xie Xian’s last time asking. In order not to be seen by others and ruin Lady Xiao’s reputation, he should have stood up and left immediately.

No, actually, it wasn’t. He had more or less guessed that Xiao Baoxin had sent someone to invite him out…She might be fine. After all, Sikong Xiao had already returned to Jiankang and was now basking in the emperor’s grace. His limelight was unparalleled, and even if something happened to Xiao Baoxin, he could not find him.

Actually, he was just finding an excuse to come out and see her.

Just like she said, a single glance was ten thousand years.

He was already satisfied with just one meeting.

He said that he wanted to leave, but he still sat there and did not get up immediately.

Not only did his mouth not match his heart, but his body and heart were also at odds.

“I heard that Chang Shi was sent by the emperor to Kuaiji to quell the rebellion?”Xiao Baoxin asked. He did not hear him say that he wanted to leave.

Who said that?

Why didn’t anyone leave?

“I don’t know when to leave… How confident are you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Baoxin suddenly raised his voice and ordered,”Ask the shopkeeper to serve the dishes.”

Xie Xian didn’t have time to stop him. Mu Jin had already left. Her footsteps were steady and powerful, and she walked into the room.

“Eldest Lady, it’s not right…” Xie Xian was still struggling.

“Chang Shi is about to leave. This time, let me send Chang Shi off. I wish Chang Shi a victorious return.”Xiao Baoxin smiled, revealing his white teeth.” Do you like to listen to music? Do you want to call someone up?”

“No need.”

After Xie Xian finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at her deeply. He secretly sighed. Forget it, let’s indulge for once.

He really wanted to sit at such a close distance to look at her, hear her, and miss her.

“I heard that Chang Shi was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, especially when it came to playing the zither.”Xiao Baoxin’s face was filled with fascination, and her beautiful eyes were shining brightly. She stared at him. She could not get tired of looking at such a handsome face and elegant bearing.

Xie Xian blinked. He couldn’t look anymore. If he continued to look, he would be blinded.

“Eldest Lady, you flatter me.” He raised his teacup and drank his tea, not knowing where to look.

“I hope that 1 can listen to Chang Shi play music in the future.”

Not long after, the dishes were served one after another, filling the tables.

“I don’t know what Chang Shi likes to eat, but I heard from my younger brother that Chang Shi often comes to the guest house, so I chose this place and let the shopkeeper make the decision to choose a few dishes that Chang Shi usually eats.”

Xie Xian was speechless.

Alright, before he left, he had to tell the manager not to gossip. He didn’t know if Lady Xiao had revealed her whereabouts, but this man’s outfit couldn’t fool anyone. At a glance, it was obvious that she was a heroic woman.

She was also so beautiful, the shopkeeper was afraid that he would be able to see through Lady Xiao’s identity.

Xie Xian was in no mood to eat and drink. He had already thought of the follow-up work.

Xiao Baoxin, on the other hand, was chomping down on his food and nodding his head repeatedly. His eyes narrowed like a cat’s as he ate the delicacies. It was a pleasure.

” You men are so blessed to be able to wander around and have fun without any restraint, and to enjoy the delicacies of the world openly. The food in this elegant house is indeed delicious…”

As she spoke, she looked at Xie Xian. His spleen and stomach were weak, so he mostly ate vegetables and fish in front of him. He rarely ate meat. Even if he ate it, he would only taste it.

“Chang Shi, you haven’t told me what Chang Shi’s chances of winning are in the chaos of Kuaiji.”She blinked her big eyes with concern, and Xie Xian’s faint smile was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

“Seven or eight points.”

Xie Xian didn’t say that he was too confident.

Kuaiji Prefecture had its own garrison, and the Emperor had specially allocated 20,000 troops to him. If he wanted to lose, it would actually take a lot of effort. After all, the central army usually guarded the capital, and when there was a war, they would go to the battlefield. They were all trained on the battlefield, and their strength was obvious.

Even if the aristocratic families secretly formed a private army to fight for territory, it was enough to fight with each other, but they did not have much of a chance of winning against the middle army.

It was just that Xie Xian didn’t like to be too sure about everything, so he held back. Even so, his calm and composed attitude showed that he was at ease.

Xiao Baoxin was relieved.

She knew that she was being overly concerned.

However, she had taken a fancy to Langjun, so it was only right for her to be worried.

” She raised her teacup and drank the tea as if it was wine. Her eyes were filled with affection and her lips were smiling. “When the constant attendant returns in triumph, I will welcome him..”
