Chapter 186 Ah, open your mouth!
Xin Baoer also imitated Qin Chu's way of speaking, and after she finished speaking, she looked provocatively at the person she was imitating.
Originally, she thought that she would see Qin Chu get angry, and even if he didn't fight back, he would at least scare her with his teeth bared. But when she met her gaze and saw that she was looking at her with tears in her eyes and gratitude towards the door, Xin Baoer couldn't help but feel a chill and goose bumps. She was so scared that she quickly pulled Chu Xingchen away.
After walking for a distance and about to reach the secret passage, Xin Baoer suddenly stood still. Wei Yu, who was walking behind
"Damn, I was so scared by that guy Qin Chu that I forgot about the important things." He even swore, which showed that he was really scared.
"What's the matter?" Chu Xingchen asked in surprise.
"It's about my second sister's family!" Xin Baoer said in annoyance, and then she looked back at the way she came, as if she was considering whether to go back.
"They should have left too. Their situation is even more difficult than ours." Chu Xingchen explained.
Xin Baoer was not an ignorant person, so she knew that it was not easy for them to come out. She patted her head and said irritably, "Forget it. With the brothers and sisters here, their lives won't be in danger. Let's talk about it next time we meet."
"No need to wait until next time. We have people in the palace, so it won't be difficult to deliver the message." Chu Xingchen comforted.
"Yes, how could I have forgotten this? Have you found the secret passage leading to the palace?" Xin Baoer asked, looking at the secret passage in front of her.
"After all, it's the harem with many spies. We dare not make too much noise, and there has been no progress." Chu Xingchen was obviously very dissatisfied with the result, and he frowned subconsciously while speaking.
"Now there is a better insider. I think the brother and sister are quite idle. They should do more work so as to stop having wild thoughts." Xin Baoer said with disdain, but her tone was full of joy.
"Happy?" Chu Xingchen asked.
Xin Baoer was stunned when she heard this. The joy in her eyes paused for a moment, then she spread her hands and said in a relaxed tone: "On the road together, it is better to have one more person than one less, not to mention that they are blood relatives. Scarcity makes things valuable, because fewer people make them look better!"
"Then why don't you recognize them today?" Chu Xingchen teased her.
"She has to be reserved. Besides, Qin Chu clearly knew my identity but concealed it and even asked for a favor from me. She must be punished. I won't feel satisfied unless it's delayed for three to five months." Xin Baoer said angrily, puffing out her cheeks.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Chu Xingchen looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her little face, and spoke in a tone a few degrees gentler than usual.
After that day, Xin Baoer's life returned to its previous leisurely and dull state. This was also due to the fact that she did not take the initiative to take on things. At most, when Chu Xingchen asked her a question, she would give him advice if she felt she could help. If she could not help, she would not try to be stubborn. She would just ask and answer. After the matter was over, if Chu Xingchen was too busy to tell her about the progress, she would never take the initiative to ask, as if she had never been involved, even if her ideas played a big role in the incident.
When it comes to her subordinates, she adopts a hands-off policy. Her role is to occasionally formulate a plan and guide the direction of action on a whim. Once the plan is issued, she immediately becomes a hands-off boss, only listening to the results but not the process. At most, when the results are not satisfactory, she will take the time to adjust the plan.
Even for such a big thing as opening up trade routes, she only kept me busy for a few months. After the framework was built, the follow-up was completely left to my subordinates.
Chu Xingchen even joked with her, saying that she was really careless and was not afraid that the plan she had spent so much time writing would fail in the womb before she could see any results. She wouldn't know whether she would cry or not by then.
Xin Baoer smiled, the kind of smile that showed she didn't care at all, and then she said, "Man proposes, God disposes. Since everything is destined, we should just do our best and leave the rest to fate!"
In fact, what Xin Baoer really thought at that time was that since God had given her a second life, he would not play tricks on her. He also gave her the identity of the heroine, so she should have some aura of the protagonist!
In contrast to Xin Baoer's leisurely life, Chu Xingchen is very busy.
Originally, Chu Xingchen had too many things to arrange and plan in the less than a year left. Now that he had a new ally with considerable strength, there were even more things he could do in advance.
Chu Xingchen was so busy that he ate and slept in the study, and his body weight was reduced. Wang Chuan was very cunning, and he intentionally or unintentionally tried to gain sympathy for his master in front of Wei Yu, hoping that Xin Baoer would find her conscience one day and take care of his master. He really couldn't persuade her.
Wei Yu was a sensible person, and she also felt that her master and good friend had been too lazy recently. She needed her to pull her to get up early to exercise, and she would not go out for the whole day after returning to her room, and would not let anyone else into her room. She was worried, so she secretly checked on her several times, and it turned out that the girl was either sleeping or on the way to sleep.
Wei Yu was really worried that she would make herself sick, so she was very tactful and revealed Wang Chuan's words to Xin Baoer word for word.
The first and second times, Xin Baoer didn't take it seriously. But after hearing it more times, if Xin Baoer still can't hear the hidden meaning, then she is not pretending to be stupid, but really stupid.
One day in early May, with fine and dense rain floating in the sky, Xin Baoer finally came out of the house and stewed some nourishing soup herself. Wei Yu held an umbrella for her, and she carried the soup bowl herself, walking slowly towards Chu Xingchen's study while enjoying the rain.
"Baoer, please walk slower. By the time you get there, the soup will be cold and your kindness will be lost." Wei Yu couldn't help but remind him.
Wei Yu was really fed up with her slow temper, so he had to wake her up an incense stick of time earlier every day, otherwise she would drag her morning exercise into afternoon exercise.
"Ayu, why are you getting more and more impatient? This is not good, it's harmful to your health." Xin Baoer's voice was gentle as water, but to Wei Yu it sounded like decadent music, designed to corrupt people's hearts.
"I'm in much better health than you. Take a few quick steps. It's raining. Don't get sick." Wei Yu said weakly.
"I understand, housekeeper." Xin Baoer said with a smile.
Walking to the door of the study, Xin Baoer freed one hand and slowly pushed the door open. Before she saw the people in the room, she said gently, "Brother Chen, come and take it. I made some soup for you to nourish your body."
Chu Xingchen was busy and exhausted. Something went wrong with the arrangements made earlier. After all, two forces acted together, and the connection was not handled properly, resulting in the loss of several people. The aftermath work was a bit tricky, and he hadn't had a good rest for several days.
When I heard the sound coming from the door, I thought I was hallucinating. I was stunned for a while before I looked up.
Seeing the smiling girl at the door, Chu Xingchen was a little stunned. He had been too busy recently and he seemed to have not seen her for a long time. It would have been fine if he hadn't seen her, but when he saw her suddenly, he couldn't suppress his longing for her. Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and went to greet her.
"Why are you here? It's raining. Why don't you wear more clothes?" Chu Xingchen took the soup and said gently.
Liking someone, keeping her in your heart and expressing concern are almost subconscious behaviors. Xin Baoer can naturally feel it, so she smiles more gently.
"Wang Chuan whispers in A Yu's ear every day, and A Yu nags me every day. If I don't come again, the two of them will probably tie me up."
As he spoke, he filled a small porcelain bowl with soup for him, brought it to him personally, and coaxed him like a child, "Ah, open your mouth."
Xin Baoer was just joking, feeding him like she was coaxing a child, and she was also using the above words to mock him for being such a grown-up and not being able to find himself, causing others to worry about him.
But Chu Xingchen was so excited because of her coming that he didn't care about her teasing him from time to time. He just felt that the tiredness of so many days was swept away, and he felt light and didn't care about his image anymore.
He opened his mouth, held the porcelain spoon, and looked at Xin Baoer with such tenderness in his eyes that seemed soaked in honey. Xin Baoer's face suddenly turned red.
She hurriedly stuffed the porcelain bowl into Chu Xingchen's hands and complained in panic: "Drink it by yourself, you really think you are a child."
Chu Xingchen was a little distracted just now and almost failed to catch the soup, and some of it spilled. Now he was really glad that Xin Baoer walked slowly, otherwise his hand would have been scalded and blistered.
