When Laifu heard this explanation, he relaxed his body. He retreated behind Xia Tan'er and stood respectfully.
Xia Tan'er nodded towards Laifu, then turned to look back at Lan Chengjin.
"Did you call Lu Yihai here?"
Lan Chengjin raised his eyebrows and did not admit it, but asked Xia Tan'er.
"Why do Tan'er think so? How can I, a wandering killer, have the ability to attack General Lu?"
"I don't know what method you used, but if you can find this courtyard now, it means you have been following me all the way. You should have seen those people bullying me at Yong'an Marquis Mansion just now, otherwise How could Lu Yihai come over and be my backer so quickly?"
Only then did Lan Chengjin realize that he had really underestimated Xia Tan'er's intelligence. With such a small move, Xia Tan'er was able to figure out all the causes and consequences, and she was still inseparable.
After all, he was thinking too much in front of Xia Tan'er.
"Are you right what I said?"
Xia Tan'er tilted her head and looked at Lan Chengjin with a proud expression, her eyes filled with teasing, as if everything was under her control.
In this capacity, Lan Chengjin, Master Xu, had seen this side of Xia Tan'er. In the past, he had only seen this side of Xia Tan'er when he was Dong Lingjiu. Now that Xia Tan'er would show such a lovely expression in front of other men, he didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
"Yes, Tan'er is right!"
Lan Chengjin looked at her cute appearance and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, but when he was about to touch her, Xia Taner turned around to avoid her.
"Laifu, please check this house from top to bottom. If there are any mistakes or omissions, fix them one by one while the craftsmen are here."
"Yes, little lady."
With his hand hovering in the air at a loss, Lan Chengjin pursed his lips and hid his hand behind his back in embarrassment. He clenched his fists and fingertips but couldn't help but feel nostalgic about the last time he pinched Xia Tan'er. Cheek texture.
I don’t know when I will have this opportunity again.
Xia Tan'er said "Laifu" and turned to look at Lan Chengjin.
"When I finish decorating this place and host a banquet in my house someday, you must come. If you are afraid of seeing other outsiders, I will arrange a separate table for you. Since you are so protective of me, I must treat you well. "
Xia Tan'er was not aware of Lan Chengjin's kindness to her, but she just wanted the two of them to get along as good friends. The meaning of some things would completely change once love and love were involved.
Hearing Xia Tan'er's invitation, Lan Chengjin was heartbroken and asked Xia Tan'er half-jokingly.
"Aren't you afraid that Uncle Nine Emperors will take advantage of you for giving me preferential treatment? As far as I know, Uncle Nine Emperors is very possessive. No one can take away anyone or anything he likes."
"No matter what he does, I am neither his thing nor his person. I have my own thoughts and freedom and never depend on him for survival. You are my friend. I can treat you how I want to treat you, with him." It doesn’t matter at all.”
Seeing the determination in Xia Tan'er's eyes, Lan Chengjin felt hurt again. He hoped that Xia Tan'er could be independent but was also afraid that she would be so independent.
Once a woman is able to move forward alone, she will no longer put him first in everything, and she will be able to leave him at any time.
"Tan'er, does Dong Lingjiu know you think this way?"
Lan Chengjin refused to give up and continued to question Xia Tan'er. He always wanted to get an answer that would deceive him.
"Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't. Sooner or later, the conversation between you and me will reach his ears by the secret guards hiding in the corner, so there is no need to worry about him not knowing."
"Tan'er, do you really not care what Dong Lingjiu thinks?"
Lan Chengjin asked again, and even through the mask, he could detect his strangeness at this moment.
"Lan Chengjin, what's wrong with you today? You're so gossipy and keep asking about Dong Ling Jiu. Could it be..."
Xia Tan'er's eyes flickered, and an idea came to her mind.
"Could it be that Dong Lingjiu sent you to find out what I mean to him?"
"..."
Lan Chengjin didn't know how to respond for a moment. Xia Tan'er's guess was indeed correct. He didn't want to lie to Xia Tan'er, but he had to lie to Xia Tan'er because of his current status.
"Of course not. It's just that if you are with Dong Lingjiu, and someone wants to buy the lives of Dong Lingjiu's family in the future, I wonder whether I should kill you too."
This time it was Xia Tan'er's turn to be speechless.
"The Dongling Jiu family should not be the princes, princesses, etc. of Emperor Dongling. How can I get my turn? Besides, with our friendship, if you really want to kill Dongling Jiu, you can tell me in advance."
"Tell you in advance? Will you tell Dongling Jiu to make arrangements in advance? Tan'er, you really care about Dongling Jiu."
"That's not the case. I was thinking that if you told me and I took the opportunity to propose a divorce, we would no longer be a family, so you wouldn't have to kill me."
Lan Chengjin was petrified on the spot. He couldn't believe everything he heard.
"Tan'er, are you kidding me?"
Xia Tan'er shook her head.
"I don't know, maybe I will choose this decision now, but if this thing really happens, I don't know what decision I will make at that time. Some things are subconscious and will only happen when a certain situation suddenly happens. Inspire...Oh...I'm afraid you won't understand what I'm telling you, but I guess it means just follow your heart."
"Then you will save Dong Lingjiu."
Lan Chengjin held Xia Tan'er's arms excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Xia Tan'er lowered her eyes to see the force coming from her arm, then raised her head to look at Lan Chengjin. She always felt that Lan Chengjin seemed to be very concerned about her relationship with Dong Lingjiu.
The seeds of speculation were planted quietly, but just as they were about to sprout, the sound of Laifu came from outside.
"Little miss, I have already checked it out. There is nothing missing in each of the rooms. I would like to ask you to check it out in person."
"No need, I believe you. The craftsmen outside said how many days will it take to complete the work?"
"Go back to Miss. The craftsman said that the operating room will be available for use at noon tomorrow."
"It's quite fast, you should be rewarded."
"Yes, little lady."
"Also, send a message to Xue Chen and ask him to come and stay in the future."
"yes."
After the explanation, Xia Tan'er broke free from Lan Chengjin's confinement. She took a step back to distance herself from Lan Chengjin, straightened the wrinkles on her sleeves, and then asked Lan Chengjin.
"Would you like to go to Lu Mansion for dinner? I'll make braised pork for dinner tonight."
Lan Chengjin glanced at Xia Tan'er to hide the disappointment in her eyes, then raised her eyes with a smile on her face.
"It's okay. I haven't tasted your craftsmanship for a long time. I miss you very much."
"Then let's go."
"I'll go there later. I have something to do before that."
"Is it about killing again? Pay attention to your safety and don't get hurt again. It will be very tiring for me to treat you."
