Chapter 42 I'll Know Later

"It's nothing. I'm going to eat. Do you want to have some more?" Qin Mufeng changed the topic with a natural expression.

Yun Xi looked away at him and replied angrily: "Do I look like a pig?" He just knows how to eat.

Qin Mufeng couldn't help but laugh, and his mood improved inexplicably.

Now that the person is with you, why you left in the first place doesn't seem that important.

If this was an arrangement of fate, he was more willing to believe that this was proof of his close relationship with her.

What Yun Xi didn't know was that while she was lazily basking in the sun, Liu Ruyan and Jiang Ping had reached a preliminary consensus on a certain deal, and a web of conspiracy was slowly unfolding towards her.

"When are you planning to put Yunhu back? My stepmother has urged me several times. If you don't let him go home, everyone will become suspicious."

Qin Mufeng had forgotten about Yunhu a long time ago, and he felt inexplicably guilty when he saw her mentioning the old matter again.

He nodded seriously: "Well, someone will send him here in two days."

"There's one more thing..." Yun Xi thought about it, feeling a little embarrassed to say it.

"Well, tell me." I listened.

"Well, I asked Bai Chen to help me check something before. He sent a letter in the afternoon and asked me to meet tomorrow."

Qin Mufeng's brightly aggrieved eyes made Yun Xi feel inexplicably guilty, and his voice became softer and softer.

"Is there anything I can't help you with? You must..."

Yun Xi wanted to say, "He is my brother, so who are you? Why don't I need you as an outsider when I have a brother?" He didn't dare...

Seeing her silence, Qin Mufeng felt indescribably disappointed, but he also knew he couldn't force her.

What's more, he also knew that the time she was talking about should be the days when she lived in Prince Chen's Mansion.

So no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he could only digest it on his own.

"Is it just you and him?"

"...Hmm." Yun Xi responded without confidence.

Qin Mufeng also knew that what he asked was nonsense, but he couldn't help it.

"Then can you take me with you?"

Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, thinking of what she was going to say to Bai Chen, and his expectant eyes: "It's not convenient."

Alarm bells blared in Qin Mufeng's mind, and his face instantly turned more than ten degrees uglier.

What does it mean that it is inconvenient? Is it because it is inconvenient for him to know about the investigation? Or is it simply because he does not want to involve him as a third party?

No matter what the possibility is, it is not what he wants to see.

"Don't forget, you are still my wife now."

His voice was a bit cold, and Yun Xi frowned in disgust, and the vague guilt that had risen in her heart before disappeared.

Qin Mufeng's heart trembled and he wanted to apologize, but felt that he had said nothing wrong.

Yun Xi couldn't stand the current atmosphere and planned to get up and go out for a walk.

Qin Mufeng grabbed her hand: "Are you so impatient?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

Unfortunately, it was difficult to recover from the flood, so he had no choice but to hold on.

Yun Xi stared at the two connected hands, her beautiful eyebrows twisted into a knot.

His hands were big and warm, even a little burning. The place where the back of his hand came into contact with his palm seemed to be on fire.

"Let go."

After hearing this, Qin Mufeng not only did not relax, but subconsciously tightened it a little more.

"Hiss—" Yun Xi hissed softly in pain.

Qin Mufeng was helpless and panicked. He quickly relaxed his grip and held her little hand in his palm. As long as she wanted to, she could get rid of him and leave at any time.

In fact, he was already prepared to be thrown away by her. To his surprise, Yun Xi did not break away.

This couldn't help but make him feel a little better.

Yun Xi didn't know if she was out of her mind, but she let him pull her without struggling.

There was even an expectation that he would never let go.

Crazy, she must be crazy.

Yun Xi, your idea is very dangerous, and this is not something you should think about.

She warned herself a few more times in her heart, and then gently withdrew her hand.

"I'm not telling you this to ask for your opinion."

When his palms were empty, his heart also became empty for a moment: "I understand."

Listening to the man's extremely disappointed voice, Yun Xi's heart felt inexplicably blocked. She warned herself that she must not be obsessed with the person next to her.

He is the best at pretending. Haven't you learned this before? There is nothing to make a fuss about.

In the private room of Mingyue Teahouse, Yun Xi and Bai Chen sat opposite each other.

"Have your sense of smell and taste returned?"

"fine."

Yun Xi nodded and motioned for him to extend his hand: "It's normal. It will recover over time."

Seeing that the distance was a bit far, Bai Chen stood up and changed seats in order to make it easier for her to feel her pulse.

"I feel very good now. I really don't dare to force anything else."

There was a low-key carriage parked in the alleyway at the back door of the teahouse.

Qin Mufeng couldn't sit still, and Mu Bai beside him had to make some jokes when he saw this.

"I said you don't think so? King Chen is just inviting you to tea, and I'm not asking you to be a favor."

Qin Mufeng, a mute man, eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express his sufferings. The green character Mu Bai simply dances on his most sensitive nerves. But someone is seeking death without knowing it.

"Hey, did you really bring me here to catch someone raping you?"

Qin Mufeng glared at him with a dark face: "Shut up."

Mu Bai was startled by his reaction and thought to himself: Could it be that he really got it right? Just when he was about to express his concern, Qin Er came back.

"Master, please tell me clearly. It's the third room from the right on the left side of the second floor."

"Go and wait for me next door."

Qin Mufeng said, opening the carriage curtain and flying onto the roof of the teahouse.

Mu Bai reacted and subconsciously took a step after him: "No, what are you going to do? Do you want to talk about business?"

"Young Master Mu, my master invites you to drink tea. Please move on."

Mu Bai's questioning was fruitless, and he could only let Qin Er drive a carriage to take him into the teahouse through the main entrance with a confused look on his face.

"Qin Er, do you know what he is doing?"

"Master will tell Young Master Mu if he wants to say it." The implication is that he knows but can't tell.

Mu Bai clicked his tongue: "Tsk... Why do you have the same virtue as your master, and it's not cute at all." He couldn't really guess it, right? It shouldn't be.

Qin Er: "..." He is a well-known man, why should he be cute?

At the same time, in the room separated by the wall, Yun Xi had already seen the pulse of Bai Chen's left hand and was about to look at his right hand...

Suddenly there was a slight sound from the tiles above his head, and Bai Chen subconsciously looked up.

If he heard correctly, someone should have climbed onto the roof of the teahouse.

Yun Xi, who knew nothing about it, saw that he had not moved yet, so she couldn't help but patted him and urged: "Why are you so dazed? Right hand, hurry up."

Bai Chen looked away. He was not so narcissistic that the other person's target would be him, so he didn't say anything.

He obediently stretched out his right hand to her: "I am the one who is sick, why are you caring more about me than me?"

Qin Mufeng lifted the tiles under his feet and heard Yun Xi say lovingly: "You will know later."

Before the jealousy welling up in his heart could boil over, Bai Chen's voice came up from below: "Aren't you really attracted to me?"
