Sister Qin, what are you going to do?

Chapter 167 Sister Qin, What Are You Doing?

"Hmph, it's all your fault, we almost got exposed," Xia Yudie said with a pout.

Chen Xiao chuckled, then moved away and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Cockroaches are 'Xiao Qiang,' as the name suggests."

Xia Yudie rolled her eyes, lying weakly on the bed. "Did you secretly train again?"

"No, I haven't had much time to train since I came home."

"Liar."

Chen Xiao smiled, "I went to a mountain, and an old Taoist priest there taught me a kind of breathing exercise that can strengthen the body."

Xia Yudie pouted, "I don't believe it. What kind of Taoist priest would teach you something like that? It sounds too improper, doesn't it?"

"......" Chen Xiao.

He didn't know if Half-Immortal Huang was proper or not, but the cultivation technique was genuinely amazing.

Could it be one of those Qigong practices he heard about as a child?

Looking at the sweet girl on the bed, if it weren't for people being home, Chen Xiao would definitely have had a sleepless night.

Xia Yudie hugged him tightly, afraid that he would suddenly have ill intentions again.

Little did she know, this only made things worse.

Chen Xiao held the petite and adorable girl in his arms, and couldn't help but feel a surge of affection.

"Chen Xiao..."

Xia Yudie's soft voice carried a hint of pleading.

"It's okay, I won't move."

Xia Yudie, who had never been deceived before, actually believed him.

After a while, she felt something was off.

"Big liar! I knew I couldn't trust you."

Her voice, deliberately suppressed to avoid being heard next door, was especially alluring.

Chen Xiao's feelings for Xia Yudie grew the fastest; this girl had given him everything.

And she had unconditional adoration and dependence on him.

In this moment, the two wished they could merge into one to express their love for each other.

It was also for this reason that Xia Yudie managed to hold on until now.

......

3 AM.

Xia Yudie hugged Chen Xiao's neck tightly, already drowsy from sleep, but still very reluctant to let go.

"Chen Xiao, remember to miss me, okay?"

Chen Xiao patted her delicate back. "I will. Aren't you still coming with me to Holy City? See you tomorrow."

"Ah, my parents are back, so I might not be able to get away."

"......" Chen Xiao.

"Then leave a few days early for school, and I'll take you to Magic City to play."

"Hmm... depends on the situation. What if you're busy then?"

The two lingered for a while longer, then held hands and quietly walked out of the bedroom, carefully opened the door, and silently waved goodbye.

Stepping onto the street, Chen Xiao took a deep breath.

The gentle air of West Shu made him, a newcomer, feel exceptionally romantic.

Although it was 3 AM, the street-side skewer shops and hot pot restaurants were still bustling.

Friends chatted and laughed, couples were sweet and affectionate, handsome men and beautiful women radiated youth.

They freely exuded a fiery passion.

Chen Xiao particularly liked, or perhaps missed, this kind of scene filled with thebreath of life.

Because whether he wanted to or not, he was gradually drifting away from the world of ordinary people.

The people Chen Xiao interacted with, apart from a few close friends, were all the top figures in various industries.

Among them, there was no genuine emotional expression; they wished they could put on dozens of layers of disguise.

The most important bond maintaining relationships between people was interest, was money.

Under this premise, if they could also get along and mix in a bit of friendship, that was already extremely rare.

Just like Tang Shaofei, Zhang Meng, and others.

No one would sacrifice their family's interests to help a friend, but that didn't prevent this group of people from getting along well and looking for win-win opportunities.

The land Chen Xiao owned in Jinning Development Zone happened to become a medium.

He didn't have the energy or the inclination to develop it himself, and directly selling it wouldn't maximize profits.

So, collaborating with a few second-generation heirs meant everyone made money, and Chen Xiao would earn even more. Why not?

However, after Chen Xiao's share, the remaining large portion should have belonged to Tang Shaofei, Zhang Meng, and Xiong Chao.

But it was snatched away by Yan Bingqin's unexpected intervention.

Nevertheless, that was a problem between Tang Shaofei, the three of them, and Yan Bingqin, and had nothing to do with Chen Xiao. He wouldn't get a single bit less of his rightful share.

On the contrary, Yan Bingqin's involvement accelerated the completion of the project.

After wandering for a while, Chen Xiao called Lei Yong and the other two back to the Hotel.

Tang Shaofei and the others didn't book a luxurious five-star Hotel this time, but a very stylish cultural and creative guesthouse near Kuan Zhai Alley.

Of course, at that time, the concept of a cultural and creative guesthouse didn't exist, so the Hotel's name was, Lantern Light Dimly Built...

The first floor was an artistic bar, and the second floor consisted of guest rooms.

There were quite a few people in the bar, many men and women, confiding in each other.

"Holy crap, you're still awake?"

Chen Xiao had already walked past, but his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a familiar face, so he stepped back to confirm, and indeed, he was right.

Once inside, he realized that not only was Tang Shaofei there.

Zhang Meng and Xiong Chao were also there.

The three of them looked somewhat reserved, not at all in the mood for a bar.

Because Yan Bingqin had arrived...

"Hello, long time no see."

"Ah, ahem... Hello, Sister Qin, you're here..."

As Chen Xiao spoke, he looked at the three of them, who all had innocent expressions, implying they didn't know what was going on either.

Yan Bingqin took a sip of her cocktail and said, "Don't guess. I went to visit Uncle Xiong, and he unintentionally mentioned that you guys were in West Shu."

Everyone suddenly understood; that's how it was.

"Ahem, Sister Qin, well, what a coincidence that we could meet in Shu Mansion," Zhang Meng said with a smile.

Yan Bingqin rolled her eyes, "You can't even flatter properly. Uncle Xiong told me which Hotel you were staying at; otherwise, it would be a miracle if we met."

"......" Zhang Meng.

The three of them originally came to the bar to pick up girls, but as soon as Yan Bingqin arrived, they all turned into elementary school students.

Now that Chen Xiao was there, they felt a bit more relaxed, as someone was there to take the lead.

"Sister Qin, you came all the way to Shu Mansion, surely not just for a drink, right?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Of course not. I have something important to discuss with you all... especially with you."

"Oh, what is it?" Chen Xiao asked.

Yan Bingqin looked left and right, "It's not convenient here. We'll talk back at the Hotel."

"Shall we go then?"

"No rush, I just got here. Let's have a few more drinks before we leave."

"......"

Midnight bar, dreamy and hazy.

Yan Bingqin was undoubtedly the most stunning sight there.

Her fiery red lips and graceful figure attracted countless gazes.

However, the four boys in front of her—three seemed somewhat timid and subservient, while the remaining one looked utterly helpless.

After a long while, Yan Bingqin put down her drink, her charming big eyes playfully rolling.

"Boring, one blockhead, three idiots. Let's go!"

Everyone: "......"

The four of them followed Yan Bingqin out of the bar. She wore a low-cut, hip-hugging dress that perfectly accentuated her alluring figure, making her look absolutely stunning.

As she swayed, there was a chorus of gulping sounds around them.

Tang Shaofei and the others hung their heads, not daring to look, but Chen Xiao openly admired her.

This rose was exceptionally beautiful, but who would have thought that within her delicate body lay terrifying combat power?

Back at the Hotel, Yan Bingqin said seriously, "The reason I came here is that I want to expand our joint real estate company, not just limit it to that one plot of land in the Development Zone."

The others were stunned. For Tang Shaofei, Zhang Meng, and Xiong Chao, Yan Bingqin's willingness to include them was the best possible outcome.

The resources she had at her disposal were incomparable to what the other three possessed.

"Alright, alright, Sister Qin, I agree."

Yan Bingqin ignored them, her gaze remaining fixed on Chen Xiao,

waiting for his answer.

Chen Xiao didn't rush to answer. The land in Jinning Development Zone was originally just a casual venture.

"Let me think about it. If I don't sleep now, it'll be dawn."

With that, he opened the door and returned to his room.

After a series of battles, Chen Xiao was already feeling a bit tired. He didn't even shower, just lay directly on the bed.

But within a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Xiao, who was just about to drift off to sleep, was abruptly pulled back to consciousness.

"Holy crap, who is it!"

He opened the door to see Yan Bingqin leaning against the doorframe. Because she was holding her arms, a certain part of her appeared even fuller and more magnificent.

"Sister Qin, what are you doing?"
