After taking two deep breaths, Chengxin gently knocked on the door.

"My dear, I'm coming in."

Hearing a response from inside, Chengxin slowly pushed the door open.

The first thing that comes into view is a folding screen with four seasons and eight layers. This outer room is probably used as a study. There is a long table by the window, and a half-written paper is pressed under the paperweight. Next to it is a treasure chest with interesting clay figurines on it.

Passing the screen, there are goose yellow curtains, a set of wardrobes and dressing tables against the wall, and a few flower and bird paintings hanging on the wall...

Just seeing this, Chengxin's heart felt a little cold. Why didn't this look like a man's room, but more like a girl's room.

"Satisfied?"

A familiar voice came from the small side room on the west side, where Langjun was bathing at the time. Chengxin walked forward nervously, but before she entered the room, she ran into a woman who looked exactly like Qi Erlang.

She was combing her hair. Her inky black hair reached her waist. Her loose dress was dragging on the ground, making her look lazy and lovely.

She looks exactly like Qi Erlang and is both tall, but when she dresses like a woman, the heroic look on her face disappears and she doesn't look like a man at all.

Qi Erlang is actually a woman.

Chengxin stared at him with her big, bright black eyes, but couldn't utter a word at this moment.

She let the tall lady in front of her pull her to sit on the bed and pointed to the blue robe hanging on the hanger for her to see.

"Chengxin, this is the only thing I have hidden from you. I am not Qi Erlang. My name is Liu Yunqing. I am the eldest lady of the family. I opened a bookstore next to the Imperial College. I gave myself the name Qi Erlang based on the ranking of my maternal grandfather so that I can travel easily when I am outside."

"I didn't mean to lie to you. Cui Niang knew my background and that's why she trusted you to me. Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything. The promises I made to you before will stand."

"Just stay here with me today. I'll ask Yu Ping to accompany you."

After saying that, Liu Yunqing gently patted Chengxin's hands twice as a way of comforting her. She felt a little guilty and didn't dare to meet her dazed eyes. She just took her clean clothes and went to the outer room to change, and called Yuping to come in to accompany her.

"I deceived Miss Chengxin. She always thought I was a man. Now I have redeemed her. Just treat her as a member of our family. Don't ask her about her past."

"If she wants to leave, give her fifty taels of silver from my mother and let her go until daybreak."

After instructing Yuping, Liu Yunqing was about to push the door and go out. Yuping asked the lady where she was going to rest so late.

Liu Yunqing did not give a direct answer. After all, it was not appropriate for him to lie in the same bed with Chengxin.

"I have something else to do. I'll be back early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, she went out again, turned into a ball in a dark alley, and went straight to the residence of Mr. Zhao.

At this hour, Zhao Chengyan had already fallen asleep. Liu Yunqing quietly entered his bedroom. Hearing the steady breathing of Mr. Zhao, her troubled heart calmed down a little.

Carefully lying cross-legged beside his pillow, looking at Mr. Zhao's peaceful and somewhat obedient sleeping face, Liu Yunqing couldn't help but rub his cheek with his cold little nose.

She was sighing at Mr. Zhao's smooth skin, but who would have thought that she would be grabbed into the bed by someone's long arms.

"Xiao Tuan'er, you haven't been home for a few days."

Facing Mr. Zhao's sleepy questioning, Liu Yunqing turned his ears back guiltily and licked his chin in a flattering manner.

A muffled laugh came from his chest. Liu Yunqing was still waiting for what to say next, but Mr. Zhao turned over while holding her, and his breathing became steady again.

Liu Yunqing couldn't help laughing. It turned out that the husband hadn't woken up at all and was in hysterics!

However, thinking back on the past few days, I have been busy and haven't come to see him for several days.

Whoops!

It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.

She already felt tormented for hiding her true identity. If Zhao Chengyan found out about it in the future, how would she explain it to him?

By then, it might be more than just a shocking thing.

Alas, whatever.

One day at a time is better than another. It would be best if Mr. Zhao never knew that she was a cat in this lifetime, so that he wouldn't distance himself from her because of this.

They are such good friends. It would be very sad if she didn't recognize him when they met and just thought that there was no such friendship.

Liu Yunqing found a comfortable position in the man's arms, and soon fell asleep while resting his head on Zhao Chengyan's arm.

These past few days have been really tiring.

Fortunately, the business is back on track and there are ways to deal with it. The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and she is still thinking about taking the children at home to watch a Cuju match, so she has to make time.

It would be even better if Mr. Zhao could go with us...

The next day, Liu Yunqing was woken up by someone.

Mr. Zhao didn't even comb his hair. He just sat up and hugged her, kneading her soft belly and little paws. When he saw her open her eyes, he became even more aggressive, wishing he could suck back all the cats he hadn't sucked in the past few days.

Liu Yunqing lay on her back on the bed, tilting her head to look at the person buried on her belly, and thought that her husband was a little perverted today.

Not only did he bury his belly, he also sniffed her little paws, and then kissed her furry little head a dozen times. Liu Yunqing even hummed impatiently, and only then did he restrain himself.

Mr. Zhao seemed a little embarrassed. He coughed twice, then held her little face and spoke gently.

"Tuan'er, you've grown a lot. Your collar is too small. Would you mind getting a new one for me?"

Liu Yunqing tilted his head and thought to himself that whether it is good or not depends entirely on your thoughts. Since I eat at your house, of course I have to follow your wishes.

Zhao Chengyan seemed to be touched by the adorable look of Tuan'er with her head tilted. He clenched his fists and pounded his chest twice. Then he calmed down a little. He held Tuan'er and sat by the window, carefully using scissors to cut the knot around her neck.

Since we know that Tuan'er is Yunqing, we naturally cannot use Mao'er's things to give her to wear.

Zhao Chengyan specially opened the warehouse and selected some good materials and asked the craftsmen to polish them. They were delivered back yesterday and were just right for Yunqing to wear today.

Zhao Chengyan opened a few boxes and put the cat in his arms on the table.

"Good girl, pick it yourself and wear whichever man you like."

Liu Yunqing lowered his head and was almost blinded by the light.

Not to mention the other gems and jades, just look at the finger-thick gold necklace in the middle, with an intricately carved peace lock hanging on it. Liu Yunqing was really afraid that if he put it on, it would break his little cat's neck.

After looking around, I finally picked up a tourmaline string. Firstly, this one is cheaper than others, and secondly, it is not too fancy, so it won't be conspicuous even if I wear it on my wrist.

Zhao Chengyan happily put it on her and then began to comb her hair every day.

Liu Yunqing snored and enjoyed himself for a while, but he was thinking about Chengxin in his heart. Liu Yunqing did not stay long. Today, he just watched Zhao Chengyan practice a set of sword skills and then left. He did not even have breakfast with him.
