A dream ends life

In the private room of Hongyun Building, Liu Yunjin and Su Yun chatted and drank tea while waiting for the dishes to be served.

"Big brother, when are you going back to Qi State? I want to go with you."

Liu Yunjin's eyes darkened, and he took a sip of tea. "I haven't decided on the itinerary yet. I have to wait until I meet the Regent to confirm it."

Su Yun was puzzled, "Regent Yu Luohan? Why didn't he call you?"

Liu Yunjin shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that he is not in Beijing and his return date is uncertain."

They had never met the Regent Prince and Queen Mother Wu, the head of the Dongyong Kingdom. He had heard a little about what was going on in the court, but he had no idea what these two decision-makers were doing.

"How could this happen? The people of Dongyong don't take our Qi Kingdom seriously. They treat you so badly. If they have no sincerity, why not just not bring them with you?"

Su Yun was a little unhappy. Trade with Qi State was a great thing that benefited both the country and the people. Every country and tribe treated the messenger as a guest of honor and tried their best to establish some relationship with him.

The officials who negotiated with them were also polite, all hoping to get a piece of the pie in the trade city.

Liu Yunjin laughed and shook his head: "It's not that simple. If it was a normal transaction, it would be fine, but this is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. We can't act on impulse."

Su Yun snorted coldly, "It's all Baili and Liu Baishuang who are meddling in other people's business. Why bother doing something that is thankless and laborious?"

The smile on Liu Yunjin's face slowly disappeared, and he said to Su Yun solemnly, "If this goes well, there will be no war or disturbance on this continent for fifty, sixty or even a hundred years, and the people can live and work in peace. This is a great thing, and not everyone has foresight."

Su Yun's face flushed, she bit her lip and lowered her head.

Liu Yunjin sighed inwardly. They were both members of the Su family and sisters from the same mother, but no matter in ability or vision, the gap between the two sisters was as huge as that between heaven and earth.

"Big brother, do you also feel that I am not as good as my sister? Are you disappointed?"

Su Yun had tears in her eyes and her face was full of pitiful fragility.

Liu Yunjin pinched his brows, looked up at him, and said softly: "You are yourself, there is no need to compare yourself with anyone else. Everyone is unique."

That person is also unique, anyone who compares with her is just an imitator.

Su Yun understood the meaning differently and immediately burst into laughter.

"I know I still have many shortcomings, I will work hard, I also know that Baili and Baishuang look down on me, after all, they are my sister's confidants, I don't blame them."

Liu Yunjin had a complicated look on his face. From Su Yun's perspective, as the current head of the Su family, it was understandable that Su Yun wanted power.

But as a bystander, Su Yun is a little petty. Baili Ci and Liu Baishuang are Su Ci's right-hand men, and have fought side by side with Su Ci in the business world for many years.

These two people are loyal to Su Ci, so Su Yun doesn't need to be hostile towards them.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Su Yun could become the head of the Su family was simply because her surname was Su and she was related to Su Ci by blood.

If it weren't for this reason, the family business that Su Ci had worked hard for would never have been hers.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

The door was opened after three knocks.

"Sir, I'm here to serve the food."

Liu Yunjin nodded slightly, and the waiters carrying trays came in one after another.

The table was suddenly full, and the delicious dishes attracted Su Yun's attention.

Su Yun's gaze finally stopped on a plate of cumin lamb.

“Is this cumin lamb?”

Liu Yunjin nodded, raised his chin, and said to the plate of cumin lamb: "Try it and see how it tastes."

Su Yun waited for the waiter to go down, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food, put it in her mouth, and chewed slowly.

The mutton in your mouth is thin and tender, fresh and delicious, without any smell of mutton. The taste of cumin fills your mouth, making you unable to stop.

Liu Yunjin asked: "How is it?"

Su Yun smiled, but it was uglier than crying.

"delicious!"

She doesn't like eating mutton, and she dislikes mutton fillings even more. No matter whether it's used to make buns or dumplings, she won't touch it.

Her sister tried every possible way to teach her how to eat mutton.

Hotpot, barbecue, and this cumin lamb are all dishes that her sister has made for her countless times.

Seeing that Su Yun was in a low mood, Liu Yunjin comforted her, "The food here is delicious, eat more."

Su Yun nodded, "Big brother, my sister..."

Liu Yunjin felt a pain in his heart and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

All dishes at Hongyunlou are served at once, and they will never knock on the door to disturb guests during their meal.

"Who?"

"Master Liu, is Yun'er in there?"

Liu Yunjin frowned, but Su Yun's eyes were filled with surprise. She stood up and ran to the door: "Brother Yan!"

The door was opened, revealing an extremely handsome face.

He rubbed Su Yun's head and said, "I should have come with you. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have fallen asleep."

The voice was low and magnetic, and the tone was full of tenderness and self-blame.

Su Yun shook her head: "I can't blame you. It's rare that you can fall asleep. How can I bear to wake you up? Besides, you're here too, aren't you?"

Pull the man into the house and sit down.

The man nodded at Liu Yunjin as a greeting.

"Brother Yan, try this cumin lamb. Is it delicious? I have never tasted such delicious lamb in your Yanbei."

The man picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and paused, but did not say anything. He tasted it carefully and swallowed it.

"It's delicious! Yanbei doesn't really have such a delicate way of cooking mutton."

Liu Yunjin sneered: "Yanbei eats cattle and sheep all day long, but they focus on quantity rather than quality. Ah Chuan! You should be thankful that you have lived in our Qi country for many years, otherwise you would never be able to taste fine food in your life."

The man's face turned cold, and the gentleness he maintained on his face disappeared.

But Liu Yunjin was not afraid at all, and even laughed, "That's right! This is the Achuan I know. If he didn't speak and pretended to be dumb, he would be more like him!"

"you wanna die!"

The chopsticks in his hand broke into two with a snap.

Su Yun held his hand, trying to calm him down.

"Brother Yan, don't be angry. I didn't mean any other thing. You are all my closest people, and I don't want you to have a falling out."

Her pretty face was full of worry, and anyone who saw it would feel pity for her.

Liu Yunjin looked at her and said, "You are the head of the Su family, and you are a Qi countryman. There will be no good results with the Yanbei prince. Yun'er, don't make yourself too humble!"

Su Yun pursed her lips, looked at Ah Chuan, then looked at Liu Yunjin, and said, "No, Ah, Brother Yan will not let me down."

Liu Yunjin chuckled twice: "I hope you don't do anything that you will regret!"

Su Yun's eyes flashed darkly, and she clenched her fists tightly. Do you regret it? No, never!

This man only has his sister in his heart and eyes. How can she not compare to her? Why can't he see her good points?

It was obviously she who was with him day and night, and it was obviously she who always stayed by his side and never left him.

Why can he never see her where his sister is!
