Ningguang couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xia Ci, would you be willing to enter politics?"
The Great Tree King paused, its gaze turning somewhat strange: "Sorry, I'm still young."
Ningguang immediately said, "We can wait until you grow up..."
The Great Tree King shook his head and laughed, "Never mind, I'm not interested."
Ningguang said with some regret, "It's a pity that your talent isn't going into politics..."
"You can ask my cousin, he's much better than me."
“I’ve already spoken to Mr. Xia, but he refused, just like you.”
"My cousin is indeed someone who doesn't like trouble."
"There are also easy positions, but no matter what I say, Mr. Xia won't agree."
"Perhaps the conditions you proposed were not favorable enough."
"No matter the price, I can..."
"It's not about money. My cousin isn't short of money. Has Miss Ningguang thought about herself?"
"Ok?"
Ningguang paused for a moment, then her expression became somewhat strange.
Not far away, Shen He heard the conversation and couldn't help but look up at Ning Guang.
"I was just joking, Miss Ningguang, please don't take it to heart."
"Hmm... Miss Xia Ci, are you really unwilling?"
"I'll only go with my cousin. If he's willing, then I'm willing. After all, we're betrothed since we were kids..."
"?"
Shen He couldn't help but glance at the Great Tree King again, and the other girls also looked over.
"really?"
"fake."
"..."
Looking at the mischievous smile on the face of the Great Tree King, the girls couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
After a while, Bai Shi came out from inside, his face flushed with satisfaction.
"Lord Ningguang."
"Go take a shower in the back. I left your clothes there."
"Okay! I'll be right back!"
Bai Shi went to the bathroom. A moment later, Xia Zhi packed her things and came out of the back hall, only to find that everyone was looking at her with a strange gaze.
"boss."
"Ok?"
"Are you and Xia Ci betrothed since childhood?"
"No."
"Oh."
"Who said that?"
"I just played a joke on them."
"..."
--
night.
Xia Zhi bought an extraordinary little bell in the [Shop] – the [Song Bell].
It doesn't have any other effect, except that the bell will produce a melody when you shake it.
I put it on Shen He to try it out, and after shaking it a couple of times, it sounded really good.
"boss."
"Ok?"
Do you like Ningguang?
"Fortunately."
Where is Xia Ci?
"It's alright, why are you suddenly jealous? I like you the most."
"Um……"
Then there is no more then.
To be honest, the bell rang for a long time afterward.
Chapter 246 You haven't fallen for Mr. Xia, have you?
Yujingtai.
Ningguang's three secretaries, all knowledgeable and well-informed, live in the same place.
Because Ningguang is hosting a banquet at Qunyu Pavilion this Friday, it may seem like just a simple one-day gathering, but there are actually many things they need to prepare in advance.
Inviting guests, preparing ingredients, scheduling programs, venue preparation, security arrangements...
So, they've been running around these past two days and are a bit overwhelmed.
Fortunately, they had done similar things many times before and were quite experienced, so they didn't panic.
However, getting up early and going to bed late, and running around everywhere, has left me both mentally and physically exhausted.
It's Tuesday, and the three of them woke up before dawn.
Baiwen and Baixiao yawned, got out of bed, and walked out of their room, looking haggard.
"morning……"
The two women greeted each other and headed towards the back of the house to wash up.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar humming voice coming from the large bathroom in front of me.
This is the voice of a hundred consciousnesses...
Baiwen Baixiao was taken aback.
This guy has great energy; he got up earlier than them and still has the mood to sing...
They exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat helpless, and then pushed open the door to the large bathroom.
Inside, steam rose in the air, and a graceful figure could be vaguely seen.
"You're up! Good morning."
"Good morning... Huh? Baishi, your skin looks much fairer and smoother?"
"hey-hey……"
"I remember you had a scar here, didn't you? Where did it go?"
"hey-hey……"
"Stop grinning like an idiot, did you secretly use some good stuff?!"
"It's essential oil."
What essential oil?
"It's that kind of moisturizing essential oil that you apply to your body, leaving it smooth and smelling wonderful."
"Isn't that something from Sumeru? You've never used it before, have you?"
"Mr. Xia gave it to me. Lady Ningguang went to Xia Ji's little shop for a massage yesterday, and he let me get one too, hehe..."
"Your smile is so strange..."
"She even blushed..."
"You don't understand!"
"What do not you get?"
"It was Mr. Xia's massage, it was extremely comfortable!"
"I know, a massage must feel good."
"It's not the kind of comfort you're thinking of."
"?"
"Sigh, you'll never understand unless you've experienced it yourself..."
