Qi Boyan asked casually, without much purpose.

But Jian Chu had been with him for a long time, so naturally he knew him quite well.

He was clearly testing her, but she could only pretend not to understand.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she and Qi Baiyan had been playing tricks on each other. She met Qi Baiyan's gaze calmly and murmured in a low voice, "I haven't contacted her yet. Let's talk about it after we go to Jiangcheng. But we have to see how much time we have. If there is enough time, I need her to take me to buy some of the delicacies that I brought back to Jiangcheng. Although I have lived in Jiangcheng for quite a while, I am still not familiar with many places. Xing Huan was born and raised in Jiangcheng, and she can get the most delicious food in Jiangcheng."

As Jian Chu spoke, he also picked up his phone to make a note, in case he forgot about it when he got there.

Her action made Qi Boyan's face pause, but in the end, he naturally said nothing. He just narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Go find Xing Huan, will she invite you to her home for dinner?"

"You should ask her this question. After all, she is the host. Besides, I don't think I have time to eat. I am so busy now. How can I have time to eat? I will come back immediately after I finish my work. The project team also has a lot of things to do. I can't hold them back!"

Jian Chu sighed as he spoke, and in fact, he was extremely tired.

It's really tiring.

It felt like no matter what she said, it would be inappropriate, but given Qi Baiyan's suspicious nature, if she said nothing, it would probably be even more serious.

This time when she goes to Jiangcheng, she wants to meet Xing Huan's aunt in person, and then talk to her as much as possible about her situation before making any plans.

So for now I don’t want to reveal too much to Qi Boyan.

This evening, Qi Baiyan was basically the one testing her, and she kept responding. She was really feeling scared, and there was a moment when she felt like she couldn't hold it in any longer and just told the truth.

But when the words came to my lips, I naturally endured them in the end.

In fact, apart from what happened now, she felt it was a little funny in her heart. She was not angry because Qi Boyan concealed the truth. She just felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness. Because Qi Boyan wanted to protect her and not let her think about so many troubles, the only way was to conceal it.

She didn't know how long Qi Baiyan had kept it a secret from her. After she didn't go to Jiangcheng to see Xing Huan, the result naturally came out.

Her feelings about everything that happened until tomorrow were indescribable.

Before going to bed, I packed all my luggage. I was only going to be gone for a day and a night, so of course I didn't need much stuff. I just needed to prepare a set of clothes to change into.

After packing up all her things, she took a shower and prepared to rest.

She said to Qi Boyan, "I have to go see grandma tomorrow. We haven't been back for so long. She must be very lonely all by herself!"

When she talked about her grandmother, she was naturally very emotional and reluctant. Her grandmother had been gone for so long, but it seemed as if she was still there and everything was still fine.

She missed her grandmother very much, but those who are gone have no regrets, so they will never appear in the dreams of their loved ones.

Qi Boyan also understood her thoughts, and he was very appreciative when he heard her say this: "This is what we should do. Every year from now on, we should take time to visit her. I'll go with you, okay?"

Jian Chu nodded slightly and said, of course it's okay.

She nestled in Qi Boyan's arms, feeling the man's heartbeat, and her heart was slightly relieved. Deep down, she was a very insecure person, and had been like this since she was a child. The alienation of Mr. and Mrs. Jian made her feel that she was an unloved person. Later, she felt relieved after living with her grandmother.

She actually suffered a lot when she fell in love with Qi Baiyan, but now when she thinks back, she can no longer remember how heartbroken she was, and can only remember the good things. Some people say that people's memories will only remember all the good things, and will not always keep sadness and pain in mind.

Jian Chu sighed silently, closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

Looking at the person in his arms, Qi Boyan didn't feel sleepy at all, but his face looked slightly uneasy as if he was worried about something.

It was almost midnight, but he showed no sign of going to sleep.

After hesitating for a long time, he got up from the bed.

He slowed down his pace and walked out of the bedroom and went straight to the study, his handsome face covered with a cold emotion.

He walked to the desk in the study, sat down, picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

Because it is late, the speed of answering the phone is naturally not as fast as during the day.

After the call was connected, it kept ringing for a long time before being picked up.

"Hey?"

The sleepy female voice carried a hint of meaning.

Qi Baiyan said calmly: "Do you know that Jian Chu is going to Jiangcheng tomorrow?"

The other party paused briefly before asking, "Is she coming tomorrow? She didn't tell me! We haven't been in touch recently, what is she doing here?"

Qi Boyan did not respond immediately, but remained silent as if silently judging whether these words were true or false.

The atmosphere was briefly quiet for a few seconds, and then he said, "If she contacts you and takes the initiative to look for you, keep it a secret from the Xing family. It's not appropriate for her to meet with the Xing family at this time. Now is not the right time. The Xing family is only looking for a purpose, which will only bring harm to Jian Chu."

After Qi Baiyan finished speaking, Xing Huan subconsciously quieted down.

Qi Boyan asked: "Why don't you speak? Is it difficult for you?"

Xing Huan quickly said, "It's not difficult. I was just wondering, if the Xing family knew that Jian Chu was here, would they miss this opportunity?"

"Don't worry about this. No one in the Xing family will know about it."

"What does Mr. Qi mean by this?"

"You'll know tomorrow." Qi Baiyan said indifferently, but his words were full of deep meaning, as if he already had a plan.

Xing Huan was instantly worried, and her face was very gloomy. She said, "Boss Qi, if you really want to protect Jian Chu and have to hurt Xing's people, can I ask you not to hurt my parents and grandpa?"

"My parents have worked for the Xing family for many years, and I am their only daughter. I don't ask for wealth in the future, I just hope they can be well. As for Jian Chu's affairs, my parents did not get involved because grandpa did not want them to get involved. I am not sure about the specific reason. As for my grandpa, he is old, and I just want her to spend her old age in peace."

Of all the Xing family, Xing Huan loves her parents the most, and then her grandfather. Although her grandfather doesn't love her very much, her favorite person is her eldest uncle's cousin, because he is a boy, and because her eldest uncle is more favored, so the children of her eldest uncle are also very favored.
