After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"Sir, I found it." The man in light-colored tights walked to Yi'an's desk and bowed.

He glanced over and saw Yi An was painting. The beauty in his painting had almond eyes, rosy cheeks, smiling eyes, a round fan in her hand, and was sitting in the corridor, looking lifelike.

She looks like the girl that Yi An asked him to inquire about.

He didn't look up, his eyes rested on his painting with longing, and asked, "Where is she?"

"In..." The man hesitated.

Yi An raised his eyes and glanced at him. He immediately said, "At Young Master Yi Qing's residence."

The pen in his hand paused, and the attachment in his eyes turned into hatred, which gradually spread to his facial expression. He suddenly raised his hand and fiercely scratched the person on the rice paper with the pen.

"Go and check her whereabouts for me!" he roared.

The man immediately agreed and walked out.

Yi An supported himself on the table with both hands and breathed heavily.

He lay on the painting and stroked the face of the person in the painting with his fingers.

"Atao, Atao, how could you leave me and go to him?" He called gently, but there was a hidden cruelty in his tone.

"It was you who broke the promise. You said you wouldn't leave me!" He suddenly shouted loudly, a line of tears sliding down from the corner of his eyes.

"No one can do it, let alone him!" He clenched his fists and hit the painting again and again, his long black hair swaying with his movements.

"Don't blame me, Tao, you can only be mine."

-

In Yiqing Mansion, Xia Nian and Xu Zheng were about to go see Lin Yue, but found him standing in the corridor.

He still looked a little pale, but much better than yesterday.

"Lin Yue, are you okay? Doesn't Su Xun have an antidote?" Xu Zheng asked.

Lin Yue just got up, still a little disappointed about what happened last night. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you guys yesterday. My junior sister came and gave me the antidote in the evening."

Xia Nian frowned and asked, "Junior sister? How did she know you were here? Why were you poisoned yesterday? Why didn't she save you directly, but came after you got here?"

After saying that, she slowly walked towards him step by step, not hiding the suspicion in her eyes at all.

Lin Yue swallowed his saliva. Xia Nian was thoughtful and these questions really touched him.

He was about to pretend to be uncomfortable and get away with it, but suddenly a woman in purple flew down from the roof and stood in front of Lin Yue.

Xu Zheng reflexively pulled Xia Nian behind her and looked at her warily.

"Hello, ladies. My surname is Han and my name is Liu Yi." She bowed, with a heroic and elegant temperament. She was somewhat similar to Xu Zheng, but she had peach blossom eyes and an oval face, which was Meng Yin's type.

"You must be Lin Yue's junior sister, right? Why did you suddenly fly down from the roof?" Xia Nian looked at her. This woman with bright eyes and white teeth didn't look like a bad person.

Han Liuyi smiled and said apologetically, "Sorry, I just came to look for my senior brother and came down directly when I saw him downstairs. I'm sorry to bother you."

She looked at Lin Yue again and asked, "Brother, are you still feeling unwell?"

Lin Yue was still confused and shook his head subconsciously.

Han Liuyi turned to explain to the two people: "My senior brother offended someone from another sect, and our master couldn't come forward, so he had to let me detoxify him. I didn't expect that he would be taken away by this girl."

Gratitude flashed in her eyes. "I guess you two are my senior's friends, right? What are your names, ladies?"

"My name is Xia Nian, and her name is Xu Zheng." Xia Nian took a step forward.

"Liu Yi would like to thank the two young ladies here, but... my senior brother cannot go back yet. Can he stay here for a while?" She took out a bag of silver from her arms, "You won't stay here for free! We will pay for it."

Xia Nian didn't accept it. She asked, "You said he offended other sects? Can you tell us which sect it is?"

Han Liuyi lowered her eyes, frowned slightly, and looked very sad: "They are from Bishui Villa. We can't afford to offend them."

"Bishui Villa?"

The four of them looked back and saw that the people coming were Yiqing and Tao Tao.

Han Liuyi's eyes flashed with surprise. The man walking towards them not far away was wearing a white suit, with delicate and handsome features, and a hint of youthfulness between his brows. He folded his arms, with a rebellious temperament, and looked at them leisurely.

Could he be one of the four people? But who is the petite woman walking next to him?

"As I remember, Bishui Villa is secluded in the mountains in front of Taoyuan City. How could it easily provoke people from other sects?" His eyes moved and he glanced at Han Liuyi lightly.

The implication is that perhaps they have offended Bishui Villa.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Excellency may not know that the Bishui Villa is not as good as it used to be."

"Really?" Yiqing raised his eyebrows, with obvious suspicion in his tone.

Han Liuyi felt the oppressive aura coming from him. She quickly calmed down and said, "Yes. May I ask who you are?"

"Yiqing." He replied.

"Taozi, why are you here?" Xu Zheng walked up to her, hugged her shoulders and asked.

Tao Tao glanced at Yi Qing helplessly, "I came here to find you, but A Qing insisted on coming with me."

Yiqing put his arm around her waist and pulled Tao Tao towards him.

Tao Tao pouted, she was already immune to his childish behavior.

Han Liuyi looked at the two of them silently. Judging from their actions, their relationship was definitely not simple.

"Yiqing? Are you... the heir of the Yi family?" she asked tentatively.

Yiqing's eyes were still on Tao Tao, and he gave a faint "hmm" as a response.

"Master Yi, may I ask if my senior brother and I can stay here for a few days? I'm afraid the poison in my senior brother's body has not been completely cured. If we go back, we will be punished." There were tears in her eyes and her tone was pleading, which would make anyone feel soft-hearted.

Yiqing glanced at her and Lin Yue and asked Tao Tao: "Do you want them to stay?"

Tao Tao turned her head and let out an "ah" in confusion.

Yiqing looked at her, and his eyes didn't seem to be joking.

Tao Tao coughed twice and said, "Mr. Lin saved Yinyin before, so it should be okay for him to stay for a few days, but this is not something I can do..."

"Okay, then you can stay here." Yiqing immediately affirmed Tao Tao's answer after hearing her.

"Thank you, Master Yi and this girl!" Han Liuyi concealed the surprise on her face and thanked them repeatedly, "We will pay you accordingly!"

"No need." Yiqing waved his hand. Tao Tao held his arm and pulled him into the yard.

"Yiqing, what are you doing? Why are you asking me whether we want them to stay? This is your house, shouldn't you have the final say?" She was a little frightened, and asked him immediately when she arrived at the inner courtyard.

Yiqing sighed inwardly, but his expression was relaxed.

"What does it matter? Tao, you are the hostess here. From now on, your words will have the same effect as mine." He said indifferently.

Tao Tao pursed her lips, still a little worried: "But..."

Yiqing put his hands on her shoulders, his eyes flickered, and his tone was gentle: "A Tao, I know, do you think this is crossing the line?"

Tao Tao frowned and looked at him, then nodded slightly.

"But in my opinion, you are my wife, and I will put your words first. At the same time, I don't want you to be shy about my identity, as if there is a deep gap between us."

He spoke very slowly, like raindrops, dripping into Tao Tao's heart.

"Do you understand what I mean? I hope you will always be happy in front of me. I have the ability to be your backer. You can ask about all the matters of Qianji Sect. Just like you said, we are now the closest people to each other."

Tao Tao opened her lips slightly, her almond eyes sparkling. She didn't expect Yi Qing to say this to her because of her uneasiness and awkwardness.

"Aqing..." she murmured and hugged him.

"You are so nice. Apart from Nian Nian and the others, you are the first boy who said these words to me." She raised her head, her clean and clear eyes only held him.

In the past, even when she was getting along with very good friends, she would draw clear boundaries between the two sides. Nian Nian and the other two had said this when they were young, so the four of them didn't need to care.

And now, this was her first time to fall in love, and Yiqing's identity was very special. She was always wondering whether she could ask this or say that, but Yiqing didn't care at all. He even noticed her restraint carefully and said so much to her to enlighten her.

Yiqing's words untied the knot in her heart, and she would do as Yiqing said and stop thinking so much.

"Huh, does Tao want a second one?" Yi Qing reached out and pinched her cheek, saying dissatisfiedly.

Tao Tao shrugged and smiled playfully: "No."
