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

"What did Master Yi'an say?" Tao Tao asked.

Yi An chuckled and shook his head, sighing: "Nothing, does Miss Tao have any plans for the future?"

Tao Tao's eyes flashed sharply - was he trying to test their itinerary?

"Well... we should go to Xiaoyao City. We sisters like to travel around." Tao Tao tilted her head, thought for a while, and said.

Yi An narrowed his eyes and said, "Miss Tao, didn't you hear what they said? Xiaoyao City has been unstable recently."

Tao Tao frowned slightly: "I have heard about it, but Master Xiahou and the others didn't say anything in detail."

Yi An looked at her calmly. Tao Tao's expression was sincere, and there was no impurities in her eyes, and there was no sign of lying.

From what she said, it seemed that Xiahou Yu and the others were intentionally hiding this from them.

It seems that Ban Meng’s news is true, otherwise Yi Qing would not have failed to tell Tao Tao about it.

Yian clenched the book tightly, and his fingertips turned white.

He glanced at Tao Tao out of the corner of his eye, his blood boiling.

When he gets what he wants, he will keep Tao Tao imprisoned by his side.

She will belong to him only, and Yiqing and sisters must be removed from Tao Tao's mind.

Tao Tao was also looking at him.

Yi An is indeed not a simple person. She couldn't help but wonder what his purpose was in saving her twice.

After a while, Tao Tao couldn't stand his gaze anymore and found an excuse to leave.

She returned to the yard and saw Yiqing waiting for her outside.

Even though he knew Tao Tao was acting, Yi Qing still felt unhappy.

He wanted to ask Tao Tao to coax him out of spite, but when he remembered that Tao Tao hadn't had breakfast yet, he suppressed his anger.

Tao Tao lifted her skirt and ran towards him, smiling: "Ah Qing!"

Yiqing was still a little angry, but after hearing the word "Aqing", his anger disappeared completely.

He took out the steaming bun from his arms and said, "Here."

Tao Tao looked at him gratefully and took it.

"Where did you go this morning?" Tao Tao took a bite. The skin was thin and the filling was big. It was from her favorite bun shop!

Yi Qing said, "I went to discuss the Wushan matter with Gu Ling and the others."

Tao Tao sat on the stone bench: "Any progress?"

Yi Qing nodded and looked at her: "Gu Ling and Pei Xuanxi will be away from Ziyang City for a few days."

Tao Tao stopped her hand. Are they going to leave? Then Meng Yin and Xu Zheng...

-

Late at night, Meng Yin finished her bath as usual, and when she came out she saw Gu Ling sitting on a stool.

He placed one hand on the table to support his forehead, and tapped the table with the other hand from time to time.

Meng Yin no longer cared about his late night visits. She stepped forward and said, "Gu Ling, can't you take a more ordinary route?"

"What?" Gu Ling stood up and walked towards her.

Meng Yin shook her head: "Nothing, what are you doing here?"

Gu Ling walked a few steps to her, lowered his eyes to look at her, put his big hands around her waist, and studied her eyebrows with his deep eyes: "Ayin, don't you want me to come?"

Meng Yin pursed her lips, "That's not what I meant."

"What does Ayin mean?" Gu Ling asked.

Meng Yin couldn't stand it anymore. She reached out and hit Gu Ling on the chest: "Okay, what happened?"

Gu Ling nodded and buried his head in her neck: "I have to go to Wushan to deal with things, so I will be away from Ziyang City for a few days."

Meng Yin was stunned and forgot to push him away for a moment: "What, you want to go in person?"

Gu Ling nodded, and his breath brushed lightly over her skin.

Meng Yin felt a little sad for no reason.

Perhaps it was because she was used to Gu Ling suddenly appearing in front of her, and she was not used to him suddenly leaving for a few days.

Meng Yin secretly complained that she was a lovesick girl. Just because Gu Ling was handsome, she always thought about him.

"Then...will it be dangerous?" Meng Yin asked.

Gu Ling raised his head, held her face in his big hands, and gently stroked her fair cheek with his thumb.

"No, there's no way I'll let my soul see you being held in the arms of another man." Gu Ling said half-jokingly.

Meng Yin felt even sadder. He was still joking at this time.

Meng Yin sniffed and said, "Well, if anything happens to you, I'll be with a hundred men."

After saying this, she was surprised herself.

She was clearly threatening Gu Ling, so why did she sound like a spoiled brat?

Hearing her words, Gu Ling lowered his head and moved closer to her, their noses almost touching.

"If Ayin dares, I will kill them all when I come back."

Meng Yin laughed out loud: "Idiot, what are you talking about?"

Gu Ling pursed his lips, his eyes a little gloomy.

Meng Yin was embarrassed, it seemed like he was not joking.

"Okay, okay, I'm just encouraging you to be safe." Meng Yin said quickly.

Gu Ling grinned, reached out and pinched her cheek, then stood up and took out a few banknotes from his pocket.

Meng Yin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"When I'm not around, I'll send someone to protect you." Gu Ling handed her the banknote, "If it's not enough, you can go to the Gu Mansion to get some. Just say your name."

Meng Yin took it stupidly - is this the benefit of being with a big boss?

Although Gu Ling is overbearing, paranoid, possessive, and likes to stalk people, he is really handsome and generous.

Meng Yin smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

Gu Ling couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw her money-grubbing look.

Even if it's for his money or power, just stay with him.

Even so, Meng Yin was only happy for a moment.

She raised her eyes, worry evident on her face.

"Gu Ling, you must pay attention to safety and don't let anything happen!"

Gu Ling reached out his hand, stroked her cheek, and said seriously, "Definitely."

-

The next day, Meng Yin didn't get up until noon and felt a little drowsy while eating.

Xia Nian noticed that she didn't look well, so he reached out and touched her forehead: "You don't have a fever, what's wrong, Yinyin, can't you eat?"

Meng Yin shook her head: "It's okay, it's just that Gu Ling has to go out for something related to Wushan, and I feel bad."

Xia Nian paused and asked slowly: "Why do you feel uncomfortable?"

Meng Yin still shook her head, feeling down: "I don't know, maybe I'm used to him being around me."

Xu Zheng wanted to comfort her, but suddenly remembered that Pei Xuanxi had told her a few days ago that he was going to Xiaoyao City, and she even joked about bringing her some local specialties.

She suddenly put down her bowl and chopsticks: "Oh my god, are they really going? I thought Pei Xuanxi was joking! Then when are they going?"

Meng Yin nodded listlessly: "I don't know either. He didn't say. Maybe we can go today. The Wushan incident directly involves them. I don't know if there is any danger."

Xu Zheng bit her lip and lowered her head.

Xia Nian felt a headache when he saw them like this.

"No, I have to go and ask. He didn't even tell me!" Xu Zheng slammed the table and stood up.

Meng Yin scratched his head and asked Xia Nian: "Strange, how could Pei Xuanxi not tell A Zheng?"

Xia Nian shook his head and chewed slower and slower.

Xu Zheng ran all the way to the outside of Pei Xuanxi's mansion. She wanted to take out the token, but found that she didn't bring it with her at all.

There was no other way, she begged: "Brother, I am Pei Xuanxi's friend, please let me in."

The guard looked at her twice. How could Mr. Pei have a female friend? He waved his hand and told Xu Zheng to leave quickly.

Xu Zheng had no choice but to wait at the door.

She sat on the stone steps nearby, her chin supported by her hands, in a daze.

Why didn't Pei Xuanxi tell her yesterday? Xu Zheng sighed. Didn't he treat her as a friend?

She sat and waited for a while. It was quiet all around and the weather was cool. She actually felt a little sleepy now.

She saw a carriage parked in the open space next to her, with the word Pei written on the lantern on it.

It's the Pei family's carriage! Xu Zheng walked forward and yawned.

She was the kind of person who would immediately want to sleep once she felt sleepy. It was still early now, so she might as well go to sleep in the carriage. Pei Xuanxi wouldn't say anything to her anyway. Pei Xuanxi would probably have to take a carriage when he went out, so he could just wake her up when the time came.

Xu Zheng's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally she could not hold on any longer and fell asleep in her seat.
