When I woke up in the evening, Qi Siliao had already prepared dinner. The porcelain bowl factory had also delivered a batch of previous stock, and Qi Siliao helped to clean them and placed them upside down in an open space to dry.

It was already dark and there was a light rain.

Hu Luanfei came to the kitchen and happened to see Qi Siliao making the bed in the utility room that had not been used for a long time.

This scene deeply hurt her heart.

No matter how awkward they had been in the past, they had never slept in separate rooms. But now, he did it himself.

snort!

She suppressed her tears, her throat was choked and painful, her heart seemed to be caught by the claws of a devil, and she was almost suffocated by the pain. Her eyes were suddenly covered with mist, and she blinked hard, tears rolling out. She wiped them with the back of her hand, stubbornly returned to the room, took her clothes and went into the bathroom to wash.

She soaked herself in the water, letting the hot water wrap around her whole body, as if she was back in her mother's womb, quietly enjoying the rare silence.

Then, the whole person was fished out——

"Hu Luanfei, do you want to die?"

She was completely red from the hot water, and she was dizzy when she came out of the water after holding her breath for so long. She had no idea what was happening. It was not until she heard the familiar roar that she slowly turned around to look at the person coming.

"Qi Si Liao..."

"You little girl, something's wrong with you today." He grabbed a thick piece of clothing from the hanger and wrapped her up, then rushed back to the room as fast as he could.

At that time, several fire baskets had been lit in the room, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly, making the whole room warm. But no matter how warm the room was, it couldn't warm the coldness deep in Hu Luanfei's heart.

She couldn't tell anyone about her suffering.

Qi Siliao put her into the quilt and stuffed a few hot water bottles into the bed, so she didn't feel cold even though she was naked.

"Are you worried about something?" After thinking for a long time, Qi Siliao had no idea why Hu Luanfei was angry. Was it just because he splashed bath water on her face?

"Tell me who has displeased you." His voice was hoarse with an ambiguous tone, and he himself did not even notice it.

Hu Luanfei didn't bother to pay attention to him. He pulled the quilt over himself and wrapped himself tightly. He turned over and didn't want to look at him again, nor did he say anything.

Qi Si Liao lowered his eyes to look at the ground, and talked about his whereabouts today, "The coastal area is fine for now, but there is not enough material for the dam, so we will probably have to stop working for the next two days."

Ultimately, it's all about money.

Today, Hu Luanfei and Wen Ruoxue lost the bet. The stakes were not high, so it was not a big deal. But the dam needed funds to operate today, so they had to feel sorry for the dozens of taels of silver.

Qi Siliao lay down on his side, holding her in his arms, "Is the escort agency operational?"

Zuihualou's business is still OK, but the escort agency is still a little difficult to operate. Beiqiu has an escort agency, and it is a royal merchant. Most of the other escort agencies stationed in Beiqiu have closed down, and now the Royal Merchant Escort Agency is the only one in power. Escort agencies like Hu Luanfei who are still holding on and refusing to declare bankruptcy will naturally be pressured.

But she is still waiting, waiting for Wen Ruoxue's father to find time to come over, then things will be much easier.

Qi Si Liao also knew that the escort agency was now without support, so it was naturally not running smoothly, but he did not ask again, only caring about her mood, "What's wrong? You haven't spoken for a long time."

The word "what's wrong" instantly made Hu Luanfei's eyes red.

She wanted to be angry with him at first, but she was so cheap that she soon softened her heart.

She sniffed and said in a crying voice, "Qiu Xu settled the accounts of Zuihualou in the past few months. We got three thousand taels. They are all under the bed. You can take them all."

Hu Luanfei is so powerful that as long as he asks for money, she will give it to him immediately.

Qi Si Liao held her tightly, fearing that she would be kidnapped if he didn't pay attention. "Leave some at home, and we'll take our time at the embankment."

"Don't worry about the expenses at home. I'll dig two more ginsengs to sell tomorrow. The money I get will be just enough to supplement the family expenses."

At this point, Hu Luanfei wiped away her tears. But she felt a slight tremor on her head. She turned around and saw Qi Si Liao trying hard to hold back his laughter, his body trembling.

"What are you laughing at?" Hu Luanfei asked unhappily.

Qi Si Liao stopped laughing, but there was still a smile in his eyes. He gently scratched Hu Luanfei's nose and said, "Do you think ginseng is a wild vegetable? It's so easy to dig it."

Hu Luanfei snorted: "It's up to you whether you dig it or not. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the silver."

The dam project would take at least ten years to complete at the current rate of manpower, or even longer. So she knew the money would only increase, not decrease.

"You today..." Qi Siliao hesitated to speak.

Hu Luanfei immediately grabbed his hand and bit it hard to vent his dissatisfaction.

He felt pain and frowned, but he didn't push her away, letting her go crazy like a dog. However, she seemed to ignore that she was naked, and the moment her arms got out of the quilt, the quilt slipped off, revealing her spring light, which instantly blinded his eyes.

His throat rolled and his breathing became irregular.

Hu Luanfei seemed to notice it, and quickly pushed him away, wrapped herself in the quilt with a red face, and went to the closet to find clothes.

There were still a lot of things to do at night, so she put on her clothes and went into the space to pull out two ginsengs. Then she mixed the facial cleanser with the space water and then bottled it.

Fortunately, Qi Siriao helped, otherwise I would have been busy until dawn.

It was already late at night when the last bottle was put into the frame. Hu Luanfei could not even straighten his back, so he slowly stood up with the help of the table and moved to the bathroom, intending to wash the clothes he had just changed.

Under the flickering firelight, someone was sitting in the bathroom washing clothes before her. Qi Siliao's big hands were gently rubbing her bellyband...

His face suddenly heated up, and he quickly ran over to grab the clothes off, "Why are you, a grown man, washing clothes? Get out now!"

Qi Si Liao raised his eyes and saw her blushing face, so he pulled her into his arms and said, "I have helped you wash a lot in the past, but you have never been so easy to talk to as you are today."

"Before, before..." Hu Luanfei couldn't speak fluently, and directly stuffed the bellyband into the bottom of the basin, blushing and said: "You are a man who can do great things, don't wash women's clothes anymore. If someone sees you, they will look down on you and say you have no ambition."

Qi Siliao didn't take it seriously. "If a man doesn't even have the ambition to wash his woman's clothes, how can he do great things?"

Hu Luan stood up quickly and said, "Just listen to me. I'll wash your clothes from now on. You've been busy outside all day, go and have a rest first."

I poured water into the basin containing his clothes. Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound and a fresh fragrance drifted to my nose.

His clothes smell like a woman!

She looked over the clothes again and saw some rouge and powder left on the shoulders, which seemed like a declaration that she found it hard to accept.

"Qi Si Liao!" Hu Luanfei held his clothes and gritted his teeth, "You'd better explain it to me clearly."

The person in front of him was silent for a while, lowered his head in confusion, "What do you want to explain?"

"How can this dress have a woman's scent!" Hu Luanfei turned the key point over again, "Look, there is also rouge and powder."
