Xiaona was invited by Xun Gongsuo to his home.

As soon as he entered the house, Xun Gongsuo warmly invited Xiaona to sit down, and then he was busy arranging the tea set and preparing to pour tea.

Xiaona looked around curiously, her eyes full of amazement: "This place is like a wealthy man's mansion, so luxurious and spacious."

Xun Gongsuo brewed tea expertly and said with a smile, "They are just some external things."

Xiaona walked gently to a beautiful calligraphy and painting, and looked at it carefully, muttering, "It's rare for ordinary people to see such precious calligraphy and paintings."

Xun Gongsuo brought the brewed tea to Xiaona and said, "Try this tea and see if it suits your taste."

Xiaona took the teacup, took a sip, and praised, "The tea has a delicate aroma and tastes very good."

The two of them just sat there, sipping tea and chatting, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and pleasant.

Suddenly, a loud noise outside the door broke the silence. Xun Gongsuo frowned slightly and stood up to check.

The man from Xun Gongsuo came over and said, "It smells like a human."

Xun Gongsuo said, "My Lord, how are you?"

The Earl snorted coldly: "How come there is a human scent here? Have you forgotten our rules?"

Xun Gongsuo replied calmly, "Don't worry, my Lord. There must be a misunderstanding. This girl is my guest."

The Earl's eyes widened in disbelief. "Guest? Xun Gongsuo, do you know the consequences of bringing humans here without permission?"

Xun Gongsuo's face was calm: "Of course I know, but Miss Xiaona is not an ordinary person. She may be able to help us."

The Earl looked skeptical. "Help? I want to hear what an ordinary human can do to help us."

Xun Gongsuo glanced at Xiaona in the room and said in a low voice, "Count, this matter is of great importance. Please excuse me for a moment."

The two men walked to a corner, and Xun Gongsuo whispered a few words in the earl's ear. The earl's expression gradually changed from anger to contemplation.

After a while, the Earl turned around and looked at Xiaona again, saying, "If it's really as you say, then I'll forgive her for now. But you'd better make sure she doesn't cause us any trouble."

Xun Gongsuo nodded and said, "Thank you, sir. I will take care of it."

The Earl shook his sleeves and walked away. Xun Gongsuo returned to the house. Xiaona asked nervously, "Who was that person just now? Did I cause you trouble?"

Xun Gongsuo smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady, it's just a small misunderstanding, it's been resolved."

Xun Gongsuo said, "I have something to do. Stand still."

Xiaona replied obediently: "Okay."

Suddenly, Xun Gongsuo's younger brother walked over. Xiaona fell in love with him at first sight and followed him involuntarily.

Not far away, Xiaona suddenly saw her brother's ferocious face, his sharp teeth gleaming coldly in the dim light. She covered her mouth in terror, wanting to scream but afraid of being discovered. Her heart instantly rose to her throat, her legs gave way, and she nearly collapsed.

A strange light flickered in her brother's eyes, and a low growl emanated from his mouth. Xiaona desperately tried to control her trembling body and slowly backed away, trying not to attract his attention.

However, just as she was cautiously stepping back, she accidentally stepped on a dead branch, and the crisp "crack" sound seemed particularly harsh in the silent space.

The younger brother suddenly turned his head and shot a fierce look straight at Xiaona.

Xiaona fainted, and Xun Gongsuo and the Earl's sister happened to approach.

Xun Gongsuo shouted angrily: "Brother, you!"

The younger brother instantly returned to his adult self and said innocently, "Who knows?"

Xun Gongsuo frowned, his face filled with anger and confusion: "How could you be so impulsive? What if you frightened her?"

The Earl's sister quickly squatted down to check on Xiaona's condition and said worriedly, "Don't blame her yet. Go and see what's wrong with this girl."

Xun Gongsuo sighed helplessly, leaned over and gently picked up Xiaona, saying, "Take her back to the house first."

The group hurried back, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

She closed her eyes tightly, frowned, and murmured, "No..."

Xun Gongsuo looked at her with concern and said softly, "You're awake."

Xiaona slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of confusion, and asked weakly: "What am I..."

Xun Gongsuo replied gently, "You fainted from hunger."

After hearing this, Xiaona nodded in sudden realization and said, "I see."

Then, Xiaona seemed to be extremely frightened. She suddenly threw herself into Xun Gongsuo's arms, hugged him tightly, and said in a sobbing voice: "I had a nightmare."

Xun Gongsuo gently patted Xiaona's back and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Nightmares are not real. I am here."

Xiaona couldn't stop shaking, her voice trembling. "That monster was so scary, it was so horrible. I tried to run but I couldn't get away."

Xun Gongsuo hugged her tighter and said, "It's all in the past. Don't think about it."

Xiaona gradually calmed down. She raised her head from Xun Gongsuo's arms, her eyes slightly red, and said, "Thank you, Gongsuo."

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door. Xun Gongsuo got up to open the door. It turned out that it was the Earl's sister who came in with a bowl of hot porridge.

The Earl's sister smiled and said, "I made some porridge for the girl to warm her up."

Xiaona took the porridge gratefully and drank it in small sips.

After finishing the porridge, Xiaona's complexion improved a lot. She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Xun Gongsuo shook his head: "Don't say that, just take a good rest."

However, Xiaona could not fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, the nightmare scene would appear before her eyes. Xun Gongshuo saw her like this, so he sat beside her bed and told her a story. Xiaona listened and finally fell asleep again in Xun Gongshuo's gentle voice.

Tianming,

Xiaona learned that the man had told her that he had some information to tell her. She found an excuse to tell Xun Gongsuo, and said anxiously, "My mother is worried about me. I have to go home. Only then can she feel at ease."

Xun Gongsuo frowned slightly, his eyes filled with concern and confusion, and said, "Are you in such a hurry? Let me take you back."

Xiaona quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I can do it myself. You still have things to do."

Xun Gongsuo was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay then, be careful on the road."

After a hasty farewell to Xun Gongsuo, Xiaona headed to the place the man had agreed to meet. It was a secluded alley, filled with a damp atmosphere. As Xiaona entered the alley, the man emerged from the shadows.

The man lowered his voice and said, "This news is extremely important. You must be careful."

Xiaona asked nervously, "What is it?"

The man took a deep breath and said slowly: "The secret about your life experience is actually..."

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard suddenly. The man's face changed drastically and he said hurriedly: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's talk about it later." After that, he disappeared into the darkness.

Xiaona was filled with doubts, but she had no choice but to return. Meanwhile, Xun Gongsuo felt something was amiss and secretly sent someone to follow Xiaona...

Xiaona was walking home normally, but she didn't notice someone was following her quietly. When the person who was following her saw Xiaona arrive home safely, he immediately went back to tell Xun Gongsuo: "The young lady is home."

Xun Gongsuo nodded slightly: "You can leave." But he thought in his heart: Maybe it was my illusion.

Xiaona leaned against the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered to herself with lingering fear: "I always feel that something is strange today."

At this time, Xun Gongsuo's brother wiped the blood from his hands and lowered his head. Xun Gongsuo lowered his voice and said to him, "Don't make a sound."

The younger brother nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, brother."

Xun Gongsuo frowned, his eyes filled with worry. He looked around cautiously and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

The younger brother asked cautiously, "Brother, what should we do next?"

Xun Gongsuo pondered for a moment and said, "Let's clean this place up first. We can't let anyone find out."

The two men acted quickly, and soon the scene seemed to have returned to normal.

However, what they didn't know was that in a corner not far away, a pair of eyes were silently watching all this...

When Xiaona was invited by Xun Gongshuo, her eyes kept glancing at his younger brother. She deliberately twisted her waist, moved closer to his brother, and said in a sweet voice, "Sir, you are so handsome." As she spoke, she gently touched his chest with her hand.

The younger brother was bewildered by her active seduction and hugged her tightly, and his sharp teeth that had been hidden were instantly exposed.

At this moment, her younger sister came over, pulled Xiaona away with one hand, and shouted angrily: "Shameless thing!"

There was blood on Xiaona's neck. She touched the wound in fear and said tremblingly: "You..."

Xun Gongsuo also hurried over at this time. Seeing this scene, his face darkened and he lectured his brother: "Don't be impulsive!"

The younger brother shouted anxiously: "Brother!"

Xiao Na pretended to be pitiful and cried, "Xun Gongsuo, he bullied me."

Xun Gongsuo frowned as he looked at Xiaona, a hint of amusement in his heart. He thought, this woman's proactive seduction has exposed his brother's weakness, and this is the perfect opportunity to give him a good lesson. But on the surface, he still said seriously, "I will handle this matter myself. You go down and bandage the wound first."

Xiao Na touched Xun Gongsuo and said, "This man molested me."

Xun Gongsuo frowned, looked at his brother sternly, and said, "What's going on?"

The younger brother looked annoyed and said, "Brother, it was this woman who seduced me first."

Hearing this, Xiaona burst into tears and said coquettishly, "Xun Gongsuo, you have to make the decision for me. It was clearly him who attacked me without any explanation."

Xun Gongsuo was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's take Miss Xiaona to treat her wound first."

My sister snorted coldly, "Humph, this woman is not a good person either."

Xiaona glared at her sister and left with Xun Gongsuo feeling aggrieved.

After treating the wound, Xiaona grabbed Xun Gongsuo again and said in a delicate voice, "Xun Gongsuo, you can't just let him go like this. How can I face people in the future?"

Xun Gongsuo looked at Xiaona and thought to himself: This woman has a lot on her mind, so I need to be careful when dealing with her. But he said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely give you an explanation."

Xiaona finally burst into laughter, but a barely perceptible cunning glint flashed in her eyes.

Xiaona left sobbing, and Xun Gongsuo turned to look at his brother with a sharp gaze.

Xun Gongsuo and his younger brother were chatting in the room.

Xun Gongsuo said solemnly, "Brother, you were so impulsive today that you almost exposed our vampire identities. You know, if humans knew of our existence, it would cause an uproar, and our situation would be extremely dangerous."

The younger brother lowered his head in frustration and said, "Brother, I was momentarily bewildered by that woman. I will never do that again."

Xun Gongsuo continued, "Our family has always hidden in the darkness, guarding this secret. If discovered by humans, it would probably attract demon hunters, and that would be a catastrophic disaster."

The younger brother raised his head and replied with a firm look in his eyes: "Brother, I understand. I will be careful to restrain myself in the future."

Xiaona heard this at the door and covered her mouth in surprise, her heart filled with shock: "So they are vampires, this is unbelievable."

When Ju Yuxi returned, An Chengfu said, "You must have had a hard time traveling abroad."

Ju Yuxi smiled slightly and said, "It's not too hard, it's just a long journey and I'm a little tired."

An Chengfu hurriedly took the luggage from her and said, "Madam, please come in and sit down for a while. I'll have someone prepare some food to nourish you."

Ju Yuxi nodded and followed An Chengfu into the house.

An Chengfu was busy pouring tea for Ju Yuxi while saying, "Everything is fine at home during the days when Madam is away. You don't have to worry."

Ju Yuxi took a sip of tea and said, "That's good. This trip abroad can be considered fruitful."

An Chengfu asked curiously, "Madam, please tell me about your experiences abroad."

Ju Yuxi enthusiastically talked about his experiences abroad...

Three years later

When Ju Yuxi returned, An Chengfu said, "You must have had a hard time traveling abroad."

Ju Yuxi smiled slightly and said, "It's not too hard, it's just a long journey and I'm a little tired."

An Chengfu hurriedly took the luggage from her and said, "Madam, please come in and sit down for a while. I'll have someone prepare some food to nourish you."

Ju Yuxi enthusiastically talked about his experiences abroad...

An Junde and Xing Ziling came over.

The servant ran over and said, "Miss, Madam, the master is back."

Xing Ziling's face immediately showed a look of joy, and she said, "Hurry, let's go and welcome the master." An Junde also quickened his pace and went with his mother.

When they arrived at the door, Master An got out of the carriage, looking exhausted. Xing Ziling hurried forward and asked with concern, "Master, did your trip go smoothly?" Master An nodded slightly, "It went smoothly, but I'm a little tired from the long journey."

The family walked into the house. Master An sat down and drank a sip of tea. He said, "I saw a lot of new business opportunities this time. If we can seize them well, our business will definitely reach a higher level."

An Junde said, "Father, I will definitely help you make your business bigger and stronger."

At this moment, the butler came hurriedly and said, "Master, there is a distinguished guest who wants to see you."

Master An asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"

The housekeeper handed over the visiting card. After seeing it, Mr. An's expression froze and he said, "Please come in!"

After a while, a man in elegant clothes walked in. It turned out to be Mr. Zhao, a well-known wealthy businessman in the city. Mr. Zhao bowed and said, "Brother An, how are you?"

Mr. An stood up to greet him: "Brother Zhao, I wonder what brings you here today?"

Master Zhao smiled and said, "I heard that Brother An gained a lot from this trip, so I came here to learn a thing or two."

Next, the two families discussed business cooperation...
