Chapter 174 Reminders until the end, found clues

Zhou Gai stopped returning to Fang Xu's workshop and looked at Chi Ning puzzled.

"Miss Chi, why did you come to Fang Xu's workshop?"

"I..." Chi Ning scratched the back of her neck a little annoyed, "...just come and have a look...hehe..."

Her thoughts were occupied by the Si family's father and daughter, Lu Jiuqing, Si Rongbang, and Cui Xingjue. She needed to sort out the current problems.

Zhou Gai looked down at the girl surrounded by the sunset light, very gentle and patient. "Do you need to sit in Fangxu's workshop? Even though it's evening, the sun is still shining."

"No need, the children are still waiting at home." Thinking that dinner hadn't been settled yet, Chi Ning declined politely.

"I send you."

Zhou probability will go ahead first, this time Chi Ning couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, so he could only keep up with him.

Seeing that she was full of thoughts, Zhou Gai said: "Miss Chi, if you encounter something difficult, you might as well tell me about it, maybe I can help you."

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Chi Ning didn't know where to start.

Zhou Gai pointed to her furrowed eyebrows. "Your expression tells me that something is serious. Is it because Mr. Cui didn't come back, or because the Si family's father and daughter asked for work leave?"

"Neither of them." Chi Ning couldn't figure out why Lu Jiuqing lied to her, and there happened to be someone with good intelligence in front of her, and she said cryptically, "A very good friend of mine suddenly lied to me about something, and I don't understand why he lied to her." I."

The two walked unhurriedly, their shadows were elongated by the setting sun and tilted to the ground.

"Is your friend a man or a woman?"

"Does it matter?"

"important."

"male."

"Is there a conflict of interest in hiding something from you?"

Chi Ning replied without thinking, "No."

Male, no conflict of interest.

Through these two pieces of information, combined with the content of the conversation between Shicai and Chi Ning and the fact that she was absent from Fang Xu's workshop the day before yesterday, Zhou probably guessed who the friend she was talking about was.

He didn't tell her directly, but he reminded him tactfully.

"If there is no conflict of interest between the two of you about your friend's concealment of you, and you are a man, it may be beneficial to your friend on the other hand. If you say, I mean, if he likes you... "

His reminders are so far, based on her reaction, she must understand the deep meaning of his words.

Chi Ning gently bit the soft flesh inside her mouth, and Zhou Gai's reminder made her enlightened.

Lu Jiuqing didn't want her to know about Cui Xingjue, so he deliberately sent her to Chunxiang Building!

She took care of Lu Jiuqing the night before yesterday. She didn't go to Fang Xu's workshop. It just so happened that Chen Chiyan transported the bark back yesterday, and it happened that Lu Jiuqing came over yesterday afternoon and deliberately led her to Chunxiang Tower.

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense about Lu Jiuqing's concealment.

This kid really is!
There are so many weird eyes!

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Zhou." Chi Ning thanked.

"You're welcome." Zhou Gai smiled warmly.

He doesn't like doing things that harm others and benefit himself, but he doesn't like Chi Ning being kept in the dark by others even more.

……

Pear Blossom Courtyard.

Lu Jiuqing helped Cui Mingjue, who had been cleaned, put on some small clothes.

Cui Mingjue pouted his mouth unhappily, staring at the bather.

He is still angry about the peddler.

Lu Jiuqing naturally knew what kind of temper the little devil was playing. He put the child on the table, pulled a chair and sat in front of him.

"Little ghost, I have bathed you so many times, you must have a conscience, live this life peacefully, and don't cause trouble for me."

Cui Mingjue kicked his little short leg, "I didn't ask you! When the big brother comes back, I will tell him everything!"

Lu Jiuqing grabbed the little foot that was kicked over, and didn't take the child's threat to heart. "You, just save it, your big brother won't come back for a while."

He calculated the time well, and after a few days his people would bring back an experienced doctor from the next city, and he asked the old doctor to send the young master away on the grounds that he was going to the deep mountains of Tianfeng Mountain to find the source of the disease.

In this case, he would have about two months to be alone with Chi Ning.

"Nonsense, my big brother will be back soon!" Cui Mingjue kicked his other little foot.

Lu Jiuqing caught it easily, and proudly said: "Then we will wait and see."

"Wipe it!" Cui Ming was so determined that he blushed again and again.

Putting the little devil's head on the ground, Lu Jiuqing left the bathroom, looked around the courtyard, and walked towards the kitchen without seeing Chi Ning.

There was no one in the kitchen, and he had a bad feeling, so he didn't bother to knock on the door. He pushed open the wooden door of the room, but still saw no one, only three little devils rolling on the bed to entertain themselves.

Striding over to pick up the little girl who was rolling around, Lu Jiuqing suppressed her emotions and asked, "Xuan'er, where's sister?"

Cui Yixuan obediently said: "My sister went to Fang Xu's workshop, and she also said that if Brother Lu asks, Xuan'er will tell you, so you don't have to worry."

Chi Ning went to Fang Xu Workshop? !
Startled, Lu Jiuqing put the little girl back on the bed and ran out in a hurry.

Take all precautions, something happened at this juncture, if I had known about it, I would have taken him back to the mansion and locked him up!
Lu Jiuqing anxiously pushed open the courtyard door, startling Chi Ning who happened to be returning to the courtyard door.

Both of them were taken aback by the situation in front of them, probably no one expected such a coincidence.

"you……"

Chi Ning slightly parted her red lips, breaking the silence.

"Where have you been?"

Lu Jiuqing suddenly reached out to wrap her arms around her waist, and pulled her into her arms. Anxiety, uneasiness, fear, and worries about gains and losses filled her chest.

It is undeniable that he was very afraid that Chi Ning would know about Cui Xingjue's return!
Caught off guard by someone hugging her into her arms, Chi Ning was stunned. She was about to push his hands away and raise them halfway up in the air. She could feel Lu Jiuqing's uneasiness and trembling. After some hesitation, her hands slowly dropped.

"I went to Fang Xu's workshop."

After the voice fell, she could feel that Lu Jiuqing's arm around her waist stiffened.

Hmph, the little bastard's lackeys also have a guilty conscience.

"However." The topic changed, "I came back halfway through."

She said that on purpose.

The arms at the waist quickly softened, and it seemed that she had misperceived the stiffness just now.

With warm breath falling from the top of his head, Chi Ning knew that Lu Jiuqing was calming down his emotions, and even more knew that he was trying to fool her.

She wanted to see how he lied to her next.

Fortunately, Zhou Gai walked fast just now.

After a long time, Lu Jiuqing slowly let go of Chi Ning, carefully and carefully stared at her face, not letting go of any of her expressions.

"What did you go to Fang Xu's workshop for?"

Is it because of some wind, or something else?
"Hmm~" Chi Ning said truthfully, "I wanted to give two pieces of sesame seed cakes to the Si family's father and daughter, but it turned out that they were not at home. I thought they hadn't finished work yet. I thought that the big guy's working hours were too long, and his body would be weak after a long time. I can't take it anymore, I'm going to tell Zhou Gu that there is no need to do it for such a long time."

As a result, she found out something terrible after going there like this.
