You're an enigma
Xiao Congrong hadn't even attended the empress's banquet yet when he was first invited away by Chu Qing.
In this tumultuous autumn, one should preserve oneself with wisdom. However, to preserve oneself also requires real power. Since she thinks Chu Qingxiao is the best partner for cooperation, she cannot avoid attending this banquet.
On the way, Chun Xiang whispered: "Rong Rong, he hasn't given us the house deed yet, but took away the painting, will he cheat us?"
"Don't worry, once it's in his hands, you can rest assured that no one will come after us!"
Xiao Congrong didn't know what relationship Yu's mansion and Chu Qingkuang had, but seeing that the rumored haunted Yu's mansion became peaceful after they moved in, she guessed there must be a hidden reason. Since others didn't make things difficult for her, she wouldn't go digging into their secrets; it was best to live in peace!
The sedan arrived at Xiyuan, and Chu Qingcang personally came out to greet them. He was wearing a white long shirt, looking handsome and extraordinary.
Xiao Zongrong glanced at the squid behind him, thinking that he would be carried away like last time, but Chu Qingchuan suddenly rushed forward, bent down and picked her up, saying to the squid without looking back: "You take good care of Chunxiang, I'll take care of San Xiaojie!"
"Rong Rong......" Chun Xiang anxiously called out.
"Don't worry! Chu Gongzi will take care of me!"
Xiao Zongrong was startled, then smiled reassuringly at Chunxiang over Chu Qingkuang's shoulder. Turning back, he caught another whiff of Chu Qingkuang's scent. This time, he was mentally prepared and didn't get flustered again, but subconsciously sniffed the air, puzzled by the clean smell on him.
He is a businessman, a speculator, who should be full of the smell of copper, how did he do it with such an ethereal and otherworldly air?
Didn't go upstairs, turned into the garden behind Xiyuan, walking forward along the shaded path, everything was lush and green, birds chirping and flowers fragrant. Being held in the arms of a super handsome guy, strolling leisurely, Xiao Zongrong even if he was calm and collected, couldn't help but feel a little excited, Chu Qingkuang was this taking her for a stroll in the garden?
She glanced up at him, but met his thoughtful gaze, staring intently at her. Her face suddenly flushed with embarrassment, and she unconsciously snapped: "What are you looking at? Didn't you invite me to dinner? Why did it turn into a stroll in the garden?"
Chu Qing's expression didn't change, still looking as if she was deep in thought. Her lips curled up slightly, a faint smile on her face: "Third Miss, you're an enigma!"
Xiao Zongrong raised an eyebrow and sneered: "So you invited me today to solve a mystery?"
Chu Qing's crazy answer was unrelated to the question: "Before you married the Third Prince, rumors said you were untalented and unvirtuous, willful and arrogant; when you were beaten, rumors said you were jealous and narrow-minded; after the old marquis took you back, rumors said you were clear about love and hate, daring to love and hate; after you voluntarily divorced, rumors said you could pick up and put down, living freely... In fact, you are talented and open-minded, why did you give people those impressions?"
Xiao Cong Rong was taken aback, and after a long time, he smiled wryly and raised his lips: "Rumors are often unreliable, why should Chu Gongzi believe it? What kind of person I am, you must have already made up your mind, otherwise you wouldn't have invited me to dinner, would you? After all, my reputation is notorious, and others are afraid to avoid me..."
Chu Qingkuang suddenly spun around, one hand embracing her and the other reaching out to tear off her clothes. Xiao Zongrong was shocked and raised his hand to hit him...
