“Are you trembling?” Duan Linbai was the closest to him.

“No.” Jiang Ershao tried his best to remain calm.

They were all big shots that he couldn’t afford to provoke.

“If you’re not feeling well, do you want to go in and rest?” Jing Hanchuan didn’t like to eat barbecue and had been sitting at the side. There was a plate of peeled pomegranate seeds in front of him, translucent and fragrant.

“No need.” Jiang Ershao didn’t dare to leave alone, afraid that he would be silenced.

After all, a certain family was notorious, and Sixth Master Jing killed people like flies.

Xu Yuanfei didn’t have a big appetite. She ate some vegetables and picked up a pomegranate seed in front of Jing Hanchuan.

“This pomegranate is quite sweet.” Xu Yuanfei didn’t eat much of the pomegranate, feeling that it was troublesome to eat.

“There are a lot of pomegranate trees in the backyard. You can bring some back,” Jing Hanchuan said casually.

But other than Jiang Ershao, who was still in a daze, and Tang Jingci, who wasn’t familiar with them, everyone else was dumbfounded.

Although Jing Hanchuan’s plate was placed in the public area, everyone knew that he was eating it himself. A certain someone protected his food and almost never shared it with others.

Duan Linbai remembered that he had wanted to eat one of his cherries before, but his hand had turned red from a slap. His heart instantly felt unbalanced.

Duan Linbai looked at Fu Chen, who was helping Song Fengwan with the food, and thought angrily, Men in love are all double standard dogs!

After the barbecue ended, it was already past two in the afternoon. Jiang Ershao quickly left this troublesome place.

Fu Chen, Song Fengwan, Duan Linbai, and Tang Jingci sat at a table and played cards at the Jing residence to pass the time. Xu Yuanfei was originally playing, but she later gave her seat to Tang Jingci, sat beside her, and gave her pointers.

It was getting late.

“I want to go back to the store to take a look. I have to leave first.” Xu Yuanfei looked at the time. It was almost four in the afternoon. It was almost time for the students to leave school, so the store would be busy.

“Aren’t you staying for dinner before leaving?” Song Fengwan looked at her. They planned to leave after dinner.

“I still have some things to do in the store.” Xu Yuanfei smiled.

Everyone knew that it was useless to ask her to stay, so they didn’t continue.

“Then go tell Hanchuan,” Fu Chen said.

After finishing eating lunch, Jing Hanchuan had stayed with them for a while before saying that he was going upstairs to rest. He didn’t come down afterward.

“Miss Xu, I’ll bring you there.” The Jing family member was very tactful and led Xu Yuan upstairs. “The second floor is where Master and Madam live. Sixth Master lives on the third floor.”

“Oh.” When Xu Yuanfei came here before, she had only stayed in the living room. The higher she went, the softer the sound of playing cards downstairs became. Other than the sound of footsteps on the stairs, the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.

“Why don’t you tell him? I won’t go up.” Xu Yuanfei became inexplicably nervous.

After all, upstairs was Jing Hanchuan’s private space.

“We’re almost there. You should tell him yourself.” The Jing family member wasn’t stupid. He naturally wanted to create an opportunity for the two of them.

When they reached a door, it was ajar. The Jing family member pointed inside. “Sixth Master is inside. You can go in.”

“Is this his bedroom?” Xu Yuanfei became inexplicably nervous. The entire floor seemed to be full of his aura, invading her every pore, wrapping around her limbs and bones, making it difficult for her to breathe.

“No, it’s his study.”

“Oh.” Xu Yuanfei took a deep breath and was still a little hesitant. After hesitating again and again, she gently pushed the door open…

Next, she did the most daring thing in her life!
