Du Zirui looked at her and saw the look of concern in her eyes. He knew that Aoshuang had always been thinking about him.
"Go over there and talk."
Du Zirui gently crossed the seven-color flower field and walked toward the sea of chrysanthemums, with Aoshuang Yingying following behind him.
Du Zirui stood in front of a large field of chrysanthemums, looking at the colorful chrysanthemums: "It's quiet here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Aoshuang took a breath and said, "If His Highness Prince Yi knew that Xiaoduo created this place, I'm afraid he would kill Xiaoduo..."
Before she could finish speaking, she shuddered, feeling that the master next to her was like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, chilling to the bone.
Du Zirui snorted coldly: "So what if he knows, Xiaoduo is not an animal he raised, and he doesn't do whatever he says."
She is a self-centered person, and no one else can control her thoughts. No one can stop her from doing what she wants to do. She is wise and independent, and cannot be controlled by anyone. It’s just that she is too young and lacks self-protection.
Ability.
Du Zirui has a cold expression on his face. Before she becomes strong, he will be responsible for protecting her. When she really has the ability to protect herself, he will no longer be by her side.
Aoshuang sighed deeply when she saw his disapproving look, and there were some things that she couldn't do without saying: "Master, do you think that your lord will just stand aside if you find out?"
Du Zirui did not answer, but spoke in a low voice. Aoshuang was anxious and continued: "Master, please don't forget that this is Xiao Warring States. It is the law of Xiao Warring States that no royal family member is allowed to engage in business."
She believed that her master was not stupid and had brains to make judgments. Many things, once involved, would be a crime.
"I will protect her, no one can do anything to her!" Du Zirui said firmly. He wanted to protect the woman, even if it cost his life.
Aoshuang shook her head slightly and stood facing the wind, smiling like a chrysanthemum with a slight bruise.
Why is the master willing to guard Xiaoduo like this, knowing that he can't get it and can't have it, but he still has to pay silently like this. Is it worth it? She doesn't understand, and she can't understand it. It wasn't until a long time later that she understood that once you love, it means nothing.
Worth it or not.
When she came back to her senses, Du Zirui didn't know where she had gone.
She picked a chrysanthemum and held it in her hand. However, when she turned around, she saw a longing figure in the distance.
He came, he finally came, Aoshuang threw up the chrysanthemum in her hand, lifted up her skirt and walked quickly out of the sea of chrysanthemums.
Qiu Zimo turned his eyes and saw Aoshuang coming. He smiled at her, very warm, with eyes full of love and longing.
On the other side, Lan Duoduo walked around the rose garden with Cao Zhi and then left the flower garden. Speaking of which, the only person she met in Xiao Zhanguo was a businessman.
Lan Duoduo only knew that he was the owner of the embroidery shop, and had no idea that he also owned teahouses, wineries, medicine shops, etc. Of course, Cao Zhi regarded her as a business rival, so he would not tell her any of this.
Lan Duoduo smiled and said: "Since Brother Cao has something to do, I won't leave you alone. This is Renjian Wuyou's special sunflower chicken and white wine. You can take it back and try it!"
She handed him the wrapped sunflower chicken and a bottle of wine. Cao Zhi sniffed the bottle cap and said with a smile: "How can I thank Cao for such a precious wine?"
Lan Duoduo smiled: "Brother Cao is my friend, what else do I need to thank you for?"
She smiled sincerely, and Cao Zhi suddenly felt that she was telling him that they were already friends. But he reminded himself in his heart that she was his opponent, an enemy, not a friend.
Cao Zhi handed the gift she gave him to his entourage, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Tianjian, thank you for your hospitality. Brother Cao will have a drink and talk with you some other time."
Lan Duoduo smiled and nodded, watching him leave.
After seeing Cao Zhi off, Lan Duoduo went to find Du Zirui and Zi Xia to play poker in the side room. Probably thinking that Xiao Yi hadn't come yet, Lan Duoduo was a little absent-minded and lost to her for more than ten games and hundreds of dollars.
Two silver coins were lost to Du Zirui and Zixia.
At this time, the sky was getting late, and the mottled sunset light filtered through the hollows of the auspicious carved patterns of "Wealth and Flowers Blooming," filling the room with reddish light films.
Lan Duoduo dropped the playing cards, threw twenty taels of silver on the table, and said lazily: "I won't play anymore."
"Why don't you play, I'm working hard!" Du Zirui curled up his lips and collected the money proudly.
Lan Duoduo pouted and looked at Du Zirui a little unconvinced: "I'm hungry, I have to go eat."
Seeing her like that, Zixia couldn't help but snicker: "I happen to be hungry too, so I won't play!" After saying that, he winked at Du Zirui.
Du Zirui had always been unable to do anything with her, so he had no choice but to accommodate her and go to the gourmet restaurant to eat.
I happened to bump into Ao Shuang and Qiu Zimo at the door of the food hall. Maybe they were hungry too, so they came here!
When Du Zirui saw them together, he was not as angry as before, but smiled.
Lan Duoduo hurriedly asked Qiu Zimo: "Lao Qiu, why didn't the prince come with you?"
Lao Qiu? Qiu Zimo was stunned. When did he get such an unpleasant nickname? He couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile: "Brother Yi is busy with official duties, so I asked Zimo to come here first."
Lan Duoduo snorted, slightly disappointed.
Zixia smiled and said to everyone: "Go in and eat!" Then he led them into the food hall.
The food hall is divided into four halls, including world-famous dishes, Western-style meals, famous snacks, and casual drinks.
Lan Duoduo spent a lot of money to invite chefs from all over the world to distribute famous dishes and famous snacks all over the world. Western-style meals and casual drinks were made by chefs and bartenders she taught.
Because it was dinner time, the famous dishes, Western meals and famous snacks were all crowded, so they had no choice but to go for casual drinks.
The decoration inside the casual drink is very unique. The chairs are hanging baskets made of rattan, with vines hanging down. The two hanging baskets are facing each other to form a table. Lan Duoduo and Aoshuang are sitting together, and opposite Qiu Zimo and Du.
Zi Rui.
Zixia wisely stepped back and prepared drinks and snacks for them.
When Zixia served them wheat-flavored milk tea, Lan Duoduo smelled it and said proudly: "This is wheat-flavored milk tea. I taught the bartender to prepare it. Try it quickly."
When she said this, the three of them immediately picked up the cups and tasted them.
"The smell is light, but the taste is rich, good!" Qiu Zimo praised without hesitation. He never liked sweet things, but he liked this milk tea.
Lan Duoduo clapped her hands proudly, as innocently as a child, and hummed a song: "Today is a good day, everything you want can come true..."
Du Zirui shook his head helplessly. He had put in a lot of effort to make what she wanted come true: "Don't get carried away with your pride. This territory belongs to me."
