After releasing the Kongming lanterns, it was already late at night. Pei Xuanxi first went to Xu Zheng's room to take a look at her, and then saw that she was already asleep, so he tiptoed out.

"Ah Yan, go call Mo Ning." His expression turned a little cold, and he added, "Tell her to the yard outside my study."

Ah Yan cupped his hands: "Yes."

Mo Ning walked down the mountain in a depressed mood. She stepped hard on every step and cursed Ye Qingliang in her heart as a bastard.

Ah Yan flew in front of her and said, "Fourth Hall Master, the host wants you to go to the yard outside his study."

Mo Ning's heart tightened, and he asked hurriedly, "Did he say what it was?"

"No." Ah Yan's expression remained the same, almost inhumanly cold.

"Oh." Mo Ning nodded and flew towards the study. He couldn't help but complain, "This wooden face."

When she arrived at the yard, she saw Pei Xuanxi standing by the stone table waiting for her.

I don’t know if it was to match Xu Zheng, but he rarely wore dark blue clothes, and his hair was still half draped behind his back, but he didn’t have any of his usual elegance and gentleness, only seriousness and coldness.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned around. Under the moonlight, he had no expression on his face, just looked at her indifferently.

"OP..." Mo Ning's heart skipped a beat. Was he going to transfer him to another place?

"Mo Ning." Pei Xuanxi got straight to the point, "What did I do that made you misunderstand me?"

"Ah." Mo Ning didn't expect him to ask this. It was rare to see such a cold host. His gaze seemed to pierce through her, making her feel like she had nowhere to hide. "No..."

Pei Xuanxi observed her expression. He ignored Mo Ning's embarrassment and said directly: "A Zheng will be my future wife. Mo Ning, you must put away your personal emotions, otherwise I will transfer you to another place."

Mo Ning's heart was pounding. She mustered up her courage and said, "No, I don't have any thoughts about the host. I'm just a little worried that if Miss Xu comes, I won't be able to stay here."

"A Zheng won't think so much, and will not transfer you to another place." Pei Xuanxi said firmly, and his sharp eyes swept over her, "But I will. So I hope you know your position."

Mo Ning couldn't help but blush. It felt like there was a flame in her heart that was burning her body, making her face herself from the inside out.

"Yes, OP, I understand." She said, steadying her voice.

She secretly cursed herself for being stupid, and was actually worried that Xu Zheng would transfer her away. Now it seemed that if she continued to be so confused, the host would ruthlessly fire her without Xu Zheng's help.

Although she was careless, she still understood the OP and knew that he was actually a warm-hearted person with a cold heart.

"Go down." Pei Xuanxi said, turned around and strode away.

"Huh..." Mo Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The host rarely showed his cold and ruthless side in front of them, but after hearing what he said today, he felt a lot more relaxed.

The main reason was that she thought of a crucial point. According to what the OP meant, as long as she behaved herself, she would not be transferred.

Then she can still continue to enjoy the wine and meat with Ye Zi, Uncle Yang and Uncle Xiang? Then why is she still worried!

"I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten for a whole day because of this. I'm so stupid." After she figured it out, she also felt hungry. She was thinking about calling Ye Qingliang to accompany her for a drink.

Pei Xuanxi came to Xu Zheng's room again. She was sleeping in a mess, with her white and tender belly exposed.

Pei Xuanxi pursed his lips and tucked the quilt for her. When he leaned over, her hair fell down and then floated behind her, sweeping away the coldness in him and leaving only tenderness.

He kissed Xu Zheng gently on the forehead and lingered for a while before leaving.

The next morning, the four were still happily eating breakfast when they heard bursts of noise outside, loud enough to crack the earth.

"What's going on? An earthquake?" Meng Yin asked. She stood up and looked outside. "So many boxes!"

"Box?" Tao Tao ran up to her, "Really? Isn't that Ah Yan?"

"Go ask, go ask." Meng Yin pulled Tao Tao's sleeve, her curiosity burning.

Xu Zheng was still chewing on a bun. She whimpered and saw Xia Nian eating breakfast calmly. She turned and asked, "A Nian, why don't you go and take a look?"

"I've already guessed what it is." Xia Nian smiled lightly, and the indifferent expression on his face made Xu Zheng even more confused.

When asked what it was, Meng Yin hurriedly pulled Tao Tao back, slammed the door, and shouted, "A Zheng! I'll go, I'll go!"

"What's going on?" Xu Zheng raised her head, still holding a burrito in her other hand, "What's that outside?"

"A Zheng, this is your betrothal gift and dowry!" Tao Tao was also a little excited. She sat next to Xu Zheng and continued, "What A Yan said was all arranged by Pei Xuanxi. He started preparing a month ago. There are still many people outside who haven't moved in yet. The yard is full!"

"It seems that I guessed wrong." Xia Nian shrugged and said softly, "I only guessed the betrothal gift, but I didn't expect there would be a dowry."

"Dowry? Isn't this something I should provide? Why did Pei Xuanxi help prepare it?" Xu Zheng was puzzled.

"I think Pei Xuanxi doesn't want outsiders to gossip, so he uses this method of being rich and powerful to shut them up." Xia Nian guessed, "A Zheng, you might as well go and ask him directly. He is a careful person and may have thought of other possibilities."

"OK, I'll go ask later." Xu Zheng said with a smile, "It just so happens that I don't have anything to give as a dowry, hahahaha."

After dinner, when they went out, they saw four people standing outside, talking about something.

"Pei Xuanxi!" Xu Zheng ran over quickly. The scene in front of him was spectacular.

The whole road was filled with people carrying big red boxes. Xiao Di was sitting in the yard, writing something quickly on a notebook with a pen in his hand. The people next to him were reading out some names loudly. I guess they were registering and counting the things they were carrying.

"A Zheng, why are you up so early today?" He asked with a chuckle, "Did what's happening outside bother you?"

"No, no, I got up a long time ago. I'm just curious about what these are. I heard from Ah Yan that they are betrothal gifts and dowry?" she asked.

"That's right." Pei Xuanxi slowly tidied the hair on her temples, but his eyes stayed on her face. Sure enough, he found the joy he wanted to see in her raised eyebrows.

"I can understand the bride price, but why do you have to prepare the dowry? Although I haven't prepared any either, hahaha." Xu Zheng said with a smile.

"Well... I think Zheng and I will be a family sooner or later, so it's okay for me to prepare." He held her arm, moved closer, and said in a voice that both of them could hear, "Zheng doesn't have a mother's family. I don't want you to think that you have no protection, and I don't want those gossips to be said about you."

"Oh my god, Pei Xuanxi you are really..." She ignored the people present, her excitement was beyond words, she stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck, kissed him on the cheek hatefully, "You are really so good! I declare you the best man in the world!"

"A Zheng..." Pei Xuanxi was stunned. This was the first time that A Zheng took the initiative to kiss him.

"Azheng, can you be a little more reserved? Hahaha!" Meng Yin laughed happily.

The three of them smiled, but they were actually feeling sad. Ah Zheng, who had never known what love was, finally had this relationship, but was it all in vain? The same was true for them.

Xia Nian touched their hands and signaled to them with his eyes that A Zheng's wedding would be in two days and they must not show any sad expression.

Compared to them, the emotions of the three men were much purer, and all of them were secretly thinking about Pei Xuanxi. He did things so perfectly, and let them see it. Wouldn't it be boring for them to do this?
