At the same time, Puhua Town.
Under the dim lights of the main hall, Xiao Jing was still reviewing the manuscript tirelessly. No matter how busy he worked, he never stood up to this time, and he didn't know what was going on today.
With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open. Dong Xiaoya, who was holding a teapot, slowly walked into the room and added tea to his already empty tea cup.
Xiao Jing, who was staring and thinking, just nodded to her, and buried his head in the pile of manuscripts again, never raised his head again.
Dong Xiaoya stood there and struggled for a long time before she plucked up the courage to speak: "The young master still has big things to do after dawn. Why not go to bed first, don't make a mistake because of lack of energy."
Hearing Xiaoya speak, Xiao Jing put down his pen. He was very tired and leaned back on the chair, stretched out his legs and feet, and smiled bitterly: "I want to sleep, but this matter is too much, so how can I sleep?"
Dong Xiaoya shook her head and said, "Even if the young master can't sleep, he doesn't have to handle official duties late at night. Even if he just lie down and rest."
Xiao Jing sighed, "Isn't I owe too much money? If I had spent some time in the past few days, I wouldn't have piled up so many things. I might be able to come back after dawn. I have to arrange the next thing..."
Speaking of this, he smiled embarrassedly and did not continue to say it.
Unlike the beauties who have many inner scenes in later generations, Xiaoya is gentle and open-minded, and there is no pressure to chat with her, and she is very relaxed. Besides, when Xiao Jing was not here, she was her acting editor-in-chief. In this newspaper, she is definitely President Xiao Da’s confidant, so Xiao Jing was a little used to being naturally unable to hide his words in front of her.
Dong Xiaoya, who knew that he had decided, said sadly: "Young Master, don't worry too much. If you are lucky enough to save Miss Xia, you will definitely save her."
He looked at Xiao Jing outside and glanced at Xiao Ya quietly.
When she suddenly changed, she went from a rich lady to a wandering girl and then fell here. Her mind was firmer than those ladies living in a greenhouse. I don’t know if it was because she had experienced many things, but this girl liked to hide things in her heart. So even if she encountered difficulties, she rarely showed any negative emotions in front of others.
But what about her at this moment?
Her delicate eyebrows were tightly clung to one place, her clear eyes were filled with worries, and a row of beard teeth biting her lips... She was already pitiful, and it was hard not to make people feel pity for such a demeanor. I am afraid it would not be an exaggeration to say this love and scene as "the heart-to-heart" of Xizi.
Xiao Jing suddenly smiled and said, "I think the person who is worried is Xiaoya. How can I get high returns without taking risks in the world? Xueer is the daughter of the Xia family. I am a commoner. If I don't even have the determination to fight hard, how can I hold the beauty back?"
He stood up and looked at Dong Xiaoya, and said with a gentle voice: "The winner should be decided around the Xu hour today. There will be some twists and turns in the middle, but if I expected it, Xueer and I will not have any danger of life... Xiaoya is willing to stay, and I am very grateful, but you can't help you later. Why not do this? After noon, you will go to Xiaoyuan? If I have anything to do, you can do it according to Shao Ning's arrangements, and at least you will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. By the way, you are not young anymore, so you will find a good family to marry."
Dong Xiaoya shook her head gently. She mustered up the courage to take a step and pulled the distance between the two of them, and then said: "I have already regarded myself as a member of the Xiao family since I settled here."
Xiao Jing was stunned. The four words "people from the Xiao family" have a rich meaning. He didn't know which one the girl meant.
Looking at Xiaoya again, the girl lowered her head with a slightly red face and continued, "If there is really danger, I really can't help. But if everything goes well, today will be a good day for the young master to tie the knot with Miss Xia. On such an important day, you can't have a family around you, right? You can't even have a witness, right?"
Xiao Jing, who had already thought of countless arguments, had to give up his efforts to persuade Xiaoya.
No matter what he does, he cannot change his mind by making up his mind. Why bother with his lips and tongue?
Shortly after Dong Xiaoya left, the door of the main hall slowly opened again. Xiao Jing stood at the dim lights in the west wing for a long time before gritting his teeth and returning to the desk...
Shao Mansion.
Shao Ning, who has always been known for his heartlessness, also suffered from insomnia. After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally got up with a light and opened the thick letter left to him by Xiao Jing again.
This is the third time I read it, but Shao Ning still couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard!"
In the letter, Xiao Jing left a way to escape for him and the rest of the newspaper, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this guy was too disappointed. The whole text was as sincere as a suicide note, and he got goosebumps when he read it in some places.
"So if you want to die, go to die. I don't care about you anymore!"
Shao Ning, who was extremely upset in his heart, almost jumped onto the bed. Su Yuxian, who was as worried as him, said a few words of kindness to comfort her, could only watch her husband, who was like a child, was in a state of suffocation and kept "turning over the big cakes".
Shao Ning slept for at most for an hour. As soon as the sky outside was brighter, he quickly got up and dressed neatly, and then left the room like a thief.
He walked carefully to the side door, and he couldn't help but look happy: The person who was guarding the door was an acquaintance!
He walked towards the man in all directions. He was about to use a cough to signal "I am here", but someone on the side coughed first.
Shao Ning, who was full of confidence, was shocked and shouted embarrassedly: "Dad."
The expressionless Mr. Shao said lightly: "What are you going to do this early morning? You don't see you leaving so early on weekdays."
Shao Ning smiled and said, "The child just woke up and felt refreshed. The plan for the day lies in the morning. I want to go out and exercise my body."
Although he and Mr. Shao almost turned against Su Yuxian's case back then, that was a special situation. Generally speaking, Mr. Shao was quite afraid of his father.
Mr. Shao snorted, "Since that's the case, let's go another day? I see that the weather is not good, so there is a storm today. You kid never knows the slightestness. If you are soaked in a chicken, no one will care about you."
Shao Ning's face changed and he smiled and said, "Dad is too underestimating people. He just goes back and goes, so how can he get wet with rain? It's rare that I have this intention, Dad, you shouldn't stop me."
After saying that, he quickly walked around Shao Yuanwai. Just when he thought he had succeeded, four and five servants holding sticks suddenly flashed from the side.
