Mr. Satan, let's meet tonight!

"Even if they were involved, it would only cause the Mo family to suffer even greater losses. What connection is there?" The man's voice was almost devoid of warmth.

"……No."

The brief pause in the conversation made the atmosphere in the cool-toned study even more somber.

It wasn't until the clock struck nine that Si Tingye continued, "Find a way to contact the group of people that Shang's father left for Shang Xi, and have them remind Shang Xi that she can start preparing for the acquisition of Gu's Group. At most one and a half months, after which Gu's Group must change hands."

Yin Xiu lowered his eyes. "Yes, sir, I understand."

"besides……"

"Sir, please give me your instructions."

"Take Zuo Ye out shopping tomorrow during the day."

"Clam?"

Si Tingye's imposing gaze fell upon the bewildered Yin Xiu.

He began, "How about we decorate every corner of the manor to make it festive? Half a day for shopping, half a day for decorating, is that possible?"

Yin Xiu couldn't help but gasp.

If it weren't for the composure he'd cultivated over the years, he probably would have jumped up right now.

However, his stiff expression betrayed his true feelings. "Sir, um... the manor is so big, I'm afraid it's not enough for just the two of us, Zuo Ye and I. I doubt we could even fit a car in it."

Upon hearing this, the man frowned imperceptibly.

The action of lightly tapping the table with my fingertips suddenly stopped.

"Yin Xiu?"

"……Yes."

"Are you really that stupid?"

"..."

"Can't you drive a truck there?"

……

Finally, left with no other choice, Yin Xiu left the study dejectedly and slunk off to Zuo Ye to discuss what to do next day.

-

That night.

Shang Xi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

After all, he had something on his mind.

Seemingly awakened, the man suddenly stretched out his long arm and pulled the person into his embrace.

He didn't open his eyes, but his hoarse voice came from above her head, "Baby, are you unable to sleep because you want it?"

"..."

"It's not midnight yet. If you want it to be over, I'll try to finish within two hours, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand began to move unconsciously.

Rough fingertips hooked up the nightgown and slipped inside, landing on the delicate skin.

At this moment, Shang Xi was already exhausted, so naturally she didn't have the mind for such frivolous thoughts.

She had no choice but to grasp the man's hand and speak somewhat sullenly, "Mr. Si, London is your sphere of influence. If I want to find out what happened two years ago or a year ago, is it possible without surveillance?"

Si Tingye was incredibly shrewd.

How could he not see that Shang Xi's emotions had clearly changed since Qiao Wanwan appeared in the afternoon?

This time, however, he didn't answer the question immediately. Instead, he asked in return, "Honey, you and that woman are more than just ordinary senior and junior classmates, right?"

"Yes." Shang Xi did not deny it.

After all, they are lovers who are about to become husband and wife, and there should be no secrets between them.

Although she is still hiding her great secret of being reborn, she will definitely reveal it once everything has settled down.

The man slowly opened his eyes, shifted his body slightly, and hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

He spoke softly, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

"Now that Qiao Wanwan is Si Chengxiao's wife, her affairs should naturally be her husband's responsibility. My darling, you should know that apart from matters concerning you, there is no one in this world worth my investigation."
