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

After the guests left, Xia Nian and Meng Yin came to Tao Tao's room together to discuss the matter of finding the jade slip.

"Why don't we tell them that we come from other places and have a way to help them find the jade slips?" Tao Tao suggested with a blink.

"If it's Yiqing, then it's fine." Xia Nian said in a deep voice, "But not Gu Ling. He will definitely think that Yinyin will go this way in the future, and then he will probably take her away regardless of everything."

Meng Yin pursed her lips. This was indeed something Gu Ling could do.

"Yes, and Aqing will definitely be very sad." Tao Tao was a little disappointed. They knew where the jade slip was, but there was no way to tell them directly, which was really worrying.

"I have an idea." Meng Yin said, "Let's go out tomorrow and pretend to be panicked when we come back. We will say that we met Han Liuyi outside and stole the map from her."

"Is this feasible? Pei Xuanxi is so careful, he will definitely find something wrong." Tao Tao said with some concern.

"They will definitely find something wrong and doubt the authenticity of this map." Meng Yin's eyes flashed with a strange light, "But if we don't look for it, who knows if it's true?"

"Maybe it will work..." Xia Nian thought for a while and said, "We can also try it out."

"Okay, let's try it tomorrow." Tao Tao nodded.

"It's time to test my acting skills again." Meng Yin said helplessly, "I don't know when I can find the jade slip."

"Actually, I have an idea." Xia Nian bit her lower lip, as if the idea was hard to say. She looked around at the two of them and said, "Let's split up and look for him."

"What?" Meng Yin was surprised. "Then the four of us will be separated?"

"That's right." Xia Nian nodded and clenched his fists. "Because I'm afraid it has a time limit. After all, the book directly tells us to find the jade slip. And we can't waste time on the jade slip."

After a long silence, Meng Yin slowly spoke: "That makes sense... After finding the jade slip, their identities will become official, and we can feel a little more at ease."

"But do we really have to separate?" Tao Tao grabbed their hands. Even though it was just an idea, she couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes. "What if something happens to one of us?"

"Taozi, don't cry." Meng Yin took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "We don't necessarily have to separate, and the separation is only temporary. Once we find the jade slip, won't we be reunited again?"

"Yinyin is right. It will be more efficient to look for it separately. We can exchange letters." Xia Nian continued.

"Well... let's discuss it with them tomorrow." Tao Tao said sobbing.

The two couldn't help but sigh. They didn't want to do this, but they thought of another aspect at the same time.

Give the map to them, they will know the location of their jade slips and will definitely go looking for them separately.

When the time comes, I will definitely take them with me for safety reasons.

Especially Gu Ling, it is very likely that he would take Meng Yin away without saying a word.

Pei Xuanxi and Xu Zheng, Xiahou Yu and Xia Nian are already husband and wife, and there is no way that the two of them would let them leave them.

Temporary separation is an inevitable choice for them.

When she woke up the next day, Xu Zheng opened her eyes with difficulty. When she saw the white chest in front of her, she was unable to react for a moment and opened her mouth to scream.

"A Zheng, are you awake?" Pei Xuanxi said with a smile. He caught a glimpse of her exposed white arms out of the corner of his eye and pulled the quilt over her neck.

"I almost forgot I was married." Xu Zheng muttered, and suddenly found that her voice was terribly hoarse, like an old well that had been dry for more than ten years.

Pei Xuanxi naturally noticed it, and he got up to pour a cup of tea for Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng managed to hold herself up, and the moment the quilt slipped down, she saw that she was only wearing a red bellyband on her upper body. She was so scared that she immediately got into bed, but saw Pei Xuanxi walking towards her with his upper body naked as if no one was around.

While drinking water, Xu Zheng was observing him. She couldn't help but wonder if she was deceived. He was so gentle on weekdays, was this his true nature in bed?

"A Zheng, does your body still hurt?" Pei Xuanxi asked with concern, as if the wolf-like and ferocious man last night was not him.

"I've already washed you and applied medicine. Now... it shouldn't be too painful, right?" He got into bed and put his arms around her.

"It's true." Xu Zheng moved her body. Apart from some soreness and hoarseness in her throat, she felt no other discomfort.

It seemed that she had wronged Pei Xuanxi and actually suspected that he was a double-faced person.

"Ahem." She cleared her throat twice, "Pei Xuanxi, you're doing such a good job, have you ever been out there?"

"Hmm?" Pei Xuanxi didn't understand, but he could vaguely hear that she was praising him for last night, "What does living well mean?"

"Oh my god, I forgot you didn't understand." Xu Zheng silently complained, "It's just... it doesn't seem like the first time, do you understand?"

"A Zheng, you misunderstood me." He said with some surprise, "Last night was the first time."

He smiled and came closer, with a cunning look in his eyes, "It seems that Zheng is very satisfied?"

"It's okay." Xu Zheng said stubbornly.

"Then let's do it again tonight." He immediately took over.

"I throw it away, I don't want it anymore!" Xu Zheng immediately retorted, and even moved back a few times, "That wasn't just once, it was clearly many times!"

She secretly cursed herself. When she first met Pei Xuanxi, how could she have the courage to think that he was not good enough? He was obviously a giant!

"Okay." Pei Xuanxi looked quite disappointed, but the light in his clear eyes did not diminish at all.

The two talked for a long time until Xu Zheng's stomach started to growl.

After all, Xu Zheng was in good health and could barely dress herself. When Pei Xuanxi stepped forward to help her, she simply gave up and let him manipulate her like a rag doll.

Since they had just gotten married, Meng Yin and his party lived in Wanxiang Tower and did not stay at Pei Mansion.

After breakfast, Pei Xuanxi took Xu Zheng back to Wanxiang Building. He went to the study to handle official business, and Xu Zheng ran to the courtyard where they lived to find them.

"A Zheng." Meng Yin stepped forward and took her arm, smiling like an auntie, "How was last night?"

"Stop talking, it's killing me." Xu Zheng said bluntly, sitting down on the stone bench, "Don't be fooled by Pei Xuanxi's gentle appearance, he is not ambiguous about that matter at all."

Seeing that Xu Zheng was about to speak in dialect, they laughed out loud.

"Let me take your pulse, A Zheng." Tao Tao stretched out her hand. She first observed Xu Zheng's face. It was rosy and shiny, and the delicate pores on her skin were invisible. It seemed that there was both pain and sweetness last night.

"Fortunately, I'm not pregnant." Tao Tao was shocked by her own thoughts and stuttered when she spoke.

"A Zheng, are you okay? Today..." Xia Nian looked at her, "We need to do something."

Her words made Meng Yin and Tao Tao, who knew the situation, stop smiling, leaving Xu Zheng with a confused look on her face.

"What happened?" she asked.

Meng Yin took a breath and told her their plan of pretending that the map was stolen from Han Liuyi.

"That's fine. Why do you look like that?" Xu Zheng said. She was already getting ready to go.

"Because... after we give them the map, they will definitely split up to look for it, and then we will also split up." Tao Tao said with a frown.

"What!?" Xu Zheng slammed the table and stood up, then sat down again because of the pain in her waist. "No, I'm worried about your safety."

"A Zheng, don't worry." Xia Nian held her hand, "We won't be apart for long. The main thing is that now, you and I are married, and they definitely don't want to abandon us."

"Yes, and we can't waste time looking for the jade slip. It's more efficient to look for it separately. Whoever finds it first can help the other person." Meng Yin went on to explain, "If we look for it one by one, it will be bad if someone with ulterior motives finds us."

What they said made sense, and Xu Zheng, who firmly disagreed with the four people separating, also fell silent.
