Chapter 168 The Single Old Dragon
"Ok?"
Xiao Jiu Jiu, who was busy picking flowers with Rui Rui outside, suddenly felt someone staring at her.
She looked up, but the sunlight shone into her eyes, obscuring her vision.
Rui Rui, who was standing next to her, asked in confusion, "Sister Jiu Jiu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the sun is too strong and a bit dazzling. Shall we go inside and play with the dolls?" Xiao Jiu Jiu suggested.
Rui Rui nodded, pouting, "Okay, what are we going to do with all those flowers we picked?"
"Take it in, it'll fit perfectly in a vase, and the petals can be spread all over the floor." Little Jiu Jiu thought, and couldn't help but laugh.
Rui Rui immediately agreed: "That's right, princesses need to use flower petals to take a bath and sprinkle flower petals when they walk, so they'll smell nice."
"You have a princess now, do you have a prince?" Little Jiu Jiu looked at Rui Rui curiously.
Rui Rui shook her head innocently: "No, I didn't prepare a prince for the princess, but I have a big monster!"
When I watched that cartoon, the princess ended up with a monster fighter!
"Are you talking about Princess Belle?" Little Jiu Jiu immediately thought of the princess in the yellow dress.
Rui Rui nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's it! I have a teddy bear here, let it be the princess's bride!"
"okay!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu got up, carrying a small flower basket.
Following suit, Rui Rui reached out and took Xiao Jiu Jiu's hand, saying, "Sister Jiu Jiu, you have to hold my hand, or I'll get lost!"
"No way..." Xiao Jiu Jiu said, but she didn't let go of her hand.
Rui Rui said with dissatisfaction, "Yes, I will. I don't care. Sister Jiu Jiu is going to hold my hand."
"Alright, alright, I'll hold your hand if I want to." Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled helplessly and led Rui Rui into the house.
At this moment, the adults in the room had already started playing music.
"Xiao Jiu, are you having fun outside?" Wan Meng greeted Xiao Jiu Jiu with a smile.
Little Jiu Jiu held up her flower basket: "It was so much fun! We picked so many flowers!"
"Wow, it's so beautiful! Can I have the housekeeper install it for you?" Wan Mengjiao asked with a smile.
Chen Xin, who was standing nearby, chuckled as she saw the flowers: "I must say, these flowers are quite well grown."
Upon hearing the words "well cared for," Ye Xuan shuddered.
She can still recall the skull beneath the most beautiful roses when she lived in the castle.
The main issue was that when she was recalling the events, the screen was filled with skulls, which caused her some distress.
"Put these long flowers in the bottle, and I'll use these short flowers!" Rui Rui said earnestly.
The butler said with a smile, "Yes, Miss, shall I take it upstairs for you?"
"OK."
Rui Rui watched the housekeeper leave, then ran to Wan Mengjiao's side and asked, "Mommy, did you win?"
"Of course we won! With Rui Rui, my little darling, by my side, everything I do is twice as effective," Wan Mengjiao agreed with a smile.
Rui Rui said in her childish voice, "Mommy, I'm going to play with the dolls with Sister Jiu Jiu. Let's go upstairs!"
"Okay, go have fun."
Wan Mengjiao waved her hand, and Xiao Jiu Jiu, carrying her own small suitcase, followed Rui Rui upstairs.
After playing cards, Wan Mengjiao warmly invited Xiao Jiu and Ye Xuan to stay for dinner.
I stayed out very late again today before going home.
Qin Yuyang sat on the sofa with a stern face: "Why are you so late again today? You've been staying up so late lately."
What are you doing outside?
Ye Xuan calmly replied, "We're at the Wan family's house, playing cards with Wan Mengjiao."
At this point, Qin Yuyang paused for a moment.
Wan Mengjiao was a very important person, so he had nothing to say and could only change the subject: "How are the preparations for the welcome banquet going?"
"I've already had someone do it," Ye Xuan said calmly.
Little Jiu Jiu tilted her head and asked, "Does this mean we can't go out to play? Why is Daddy so serious?"
"of course not."
Qin Yuyang smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, Xiao Jiu, you can go upstairs and take a shower first. Your Aunt Ye and I have something to talk about."
"Oh~"
Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Ye Xuan, and then left.
"Xuan, it's not that I don't want you to interact with the ladies, but you also need to make sure that Xiao Jiu's welcome banquet is well organized."
"This is crucial to whether we can break into the elite families in the capital." Qin Yuyang said, handing Ye Xuan a glass of water.
Ye Xuan sighed and said, "I'm here today to deliver invitations to Wan Mengjiao, Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Wang. What else would I be doing here?"
"You're so thoughtful. Once Xiao Jiu's welcome banquet is over, maybe we'll be able to break through the barrier and get in touch with the core of the capital."
Qin Yuyang's eyes revealed undisguised ambition.
Even though he was already the richest man in G City, he still wanted to climb the social ladder online.
Ye Xuan, who was at the bottom of the list, said, "I understand, don't worry."
Back in the room, Xiao Jiu Jiu pulled Coal Ball, who was squatting on the bed, up: "Coal Ball, Coal Ball, come here."
"What's up?" Coal Ball's ears twitched, looking impatient.
After squatting down, Xiao Jiu Jiu opened her phone: "This is the information Brother Bai sent me. Guess what I saw?"
She put her phone on the ground and turned on automatic reading mode.
Coal Ball reluctantly jumped to the ground: [Is there something you can't say in bed? Just leave your phone on the bed.]
"No, no, I want you to come down and see."
After Xiao Jiu Jiu and the others finished reading the documents, they said, "You saw it all, didn't you? This Li Yu'an is too wicked; he actually did such a thing."
He caused the deaths of Rui Rui's parents; he's a super, invincible villain, and I want to deal with him!
"You?" Coal Ball looked at Little Nine Nine with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Yes, I... I really want to teach him a lesson! There must be some way, right?"
"No!" Coal Ball shook his head decisively.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiu Jiu poked at the coal ball and said, "Coal ball, you know, you're so knowledgeable, you must know a lot of things!"
She wanted to do something to make things difficult for Li Yu'an, to show him the consequences of offending them!
How dare you bully Aunt Wan!
"You can just look through the books your grandfather left you. Do you need me to give you pointers?" Coal Ball flicked its tail nonchalantly.
Xiao Jiu Jiu stroked her chin: "You're right. I'll go to the house in the capital tomorrow and take a good look at it. I'll put all the books in the bookshelf, hehe."
[Learn more, and you can do whatever you want] Coal Ball swung its big tail and squatted next to Little Nine-Nine.
Xiao Jiu Jiu became confident: "That's right, Grandpa said I have talent. I'm so smart, I'll definitely learn it in no time!"
Upstairs, Xiao Jiu Jiu shared her day's experiences with Mei Qiu.
Downstairs, Qin Yuyang handed Ye Xuan a thick list: "This is a list I've drafted. Please take a look."
"Let me see who you invited..."
*
The next morning, Ye Xuan went out with her bag on her back.
She was going to check on the arrangements for the banquet to avoid any mishaps.
Xiao Jiu Jiu got up and made a phone call to Qin Yu Hai.
Qin Yuhai, who was working himself to the bone, woke up from his desk: "Hello?"
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Xiao Jiu Jiu asked happily.
Qin Yuhai: "I'm busy here, Xiao Jiu. We've made some progress on that baby's child, but we haven't caught the last person yet."
We're also investigating your grandfather's case. Do you have some free time?
"You can come over here for a moment."
"what?"
Little Jiu Jiu's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "Okay, Uncle, you take me to get the book first."
"Didn't my box of books arrive by courier? I haven't picked it up yet."
Some of them have already stayed in G City.
The rest have already been brought back.
There are too many books, and some were even shipped back by express delivery.
She's been back in the capital for so many days and still hasn't gone to pick it up.
Qin Yuyang took a sip of coffee, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll come pick you up now."
"OK!"
Xiao Jiujiu went upstairs to pack her schoolbag, and also stuffed some important bottles and jars into it.
"Take me with you, I can control the size of the flag now." Just as Xiao Jiu Jiu was about to go out.
The flag on the table spoke, trembling slightly.
It's Ao Che.
Little Nine-Nine sat at the desk, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at it: "You said you can control the size of the flag? Really? Why don't you show me?"
"no problem!"
Ao Che controlled the boss's flag to shrink to the size of a palm, making it very convenient to carry around.
Ao Che said smugly, "How about that? My skills are pretty good, aren't they?"
"Not bad, not bad, as expected of you, you're amazing!" Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled, cupping her cheeks in her hands, her face beaming.
Coal Ball:?
You've practically made this guy a cuckold.
Xiao Jiu Jiu coaxed Ao Che a couple of times and then ignored him. She rummaged through her things and breathed a sigh of relief: "I should have brought everything. I'll do a divination for myself first."
She's going to help her uncle, so she must have some questions. Who knows, she might use her abilities.
Let's see if it's a good time to go out.
Xiao Jiujiu took out his copper coins, shook them, and tossed them onto the table: "Hmm, some unexpected wealth today, not bad!"
After casting the divination, Xiao Jiujiu smiled and waited for Qin Yuhai to pick her up.
"Ah, right!"
As if she had just thought of something, Xiao Jiu Jiu ran to the garden outside and glanced at the neighbor's house.
It's just a pity that there's no one next door.
She lowered her head somewhat dejectedly and pouted.
Brother Lu Li isn't here today, and I wonder how he is doing.
Will that imperial aura still be there when you look at the painting again?
Ao Che sneered from the side, "Hahaha, little girl, what are you thinking?"
You're not thinking about the kid next door, are you?
Xiao Jiujiu pulled a long face, rolled her eyes, and didn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, Ao Che burst into laughter as if he had found something interesting: "No way, no way?"
Little girl, how old are you? You've already fallen for that sickly guy next door who's half-dead?
Don't think about these things, little girl.
Ao Che mocked while reminding Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu Jiu: Huh?
Are you OK?
She was only briefly reminiscing about her friends; her real purpose was to see if the imperial aura would be of greater help to her.
How can this ancient dragon, which has existed for thousands of years, be so good at imagining things?
She doesn't want to watch any more TV dramas that aren't based on his imagination!
"It's like he hasn't brushed his teeth for thousands of years; his mouth is like a latrine." Seeing that Xiao Jiu Jiu was a little confused and puzzled, Coal Ball immediately retorted to Ao Che.
Ao Che: "You!"
【What's wrong with me? 】
Coal Ball stared at Ao Che with his bright green eyes: "Xiao Jiu is just a five-year-old child. How could your thoughts be so filthy?"
Is that all that's on your mind?
No wonder you've lived for thousands of years and are still a single dragon; what kind of female dragon could possibly like you with that mouth of yours?
"Hey, hey, hey, can you please stop attacking with your dragon body?"
Under the barrage of insults from Coal Ball, Ao Che was the first to lose his temper: "You cat really have a hard time talking. What do you mean by 'single dragon'?"
I used to have a wife, you know!
The past is the past, now it's perverted.
Not only are you currently without a wife, but you also have filthy thoughts; even ghosts wouldn't want to be with you.
Ao Che: "Hey! You! Me?"
At this moment, Ao Che seemed to have lost all his strength.
He didn't know how to refute it.
He was so angry, so angry! He was going to be driven crazy by this cat.
"puff"
Xiao Jiu Jiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She looked at Ao Che and burst into laughter: "You're overthinking it! Really!"
Ignoring them, Xiao Jiujiu ran to the swing.
After sitting on the swing, she swayed slowly, but her gaze was fixed on the outside of the yard, occasionally glancing at Lu Li's direction.
Nothing at all.
"Dudududu!"
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a car horn rang out from outside the door.
Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up. "It must be Uncle's back! I haven't seen Uncle in so long, I miss him!"
Coal Ball lay lazily on its special carpet, gazing peacefully at the people outside.
Xiao Jiu Jiu ran to the door and turned on the video call, just in time to see Qin Yu Hai standing outside.
He was dressed casually today, looking both elegant and handsome.
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Jiu Jiu ran out excitedly: "Uncle, you're finally back!"
"Xiaojiu?"
Qin Yuhai lowered his body and opened his arms.
Xiao Jiu Jiu rushed over and hugged Qin Yu Hai, saying, "Uncle, you're finally back! You haven't been back for so long!"
"These things have been too chaotic lately, and I haven't finished sorting them out yet. Fortunately, Yu Zhinian asked me to go to the Special Investigations Department again today."
I thought since you called, we could go check it out together.
Qin Yuhai put aside his ulterior motives, took her hand with one large hand, and rubbed her tired brows with the other.
Xiao Jiujiu took a sachet out of her bag: "Uncle, this is for you, it's to keep you alert."
“Hmm,” Qin Yuhai said, putting the sachet away. “Then let’s go get the books first.”
"okay!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu readily agreed, said goodbye to the housekeeper, and left.
After getting the book, Xiao Jiujiu pulled out a key: "This is the key my grandfather left me, the address is..."
She thought for a moment, then took out a yellowed piece of paper: "This is the address Grandpa left us, shall we go take a look?"
"Ah."
Qin Yuhai frowned: "It looks familiar."
"It's probably all around there. We'll know when we get there." Xiao Jiujiu watched Qin Yuhai enter the destination.
The car drives away.
Shortly after, the car stopped at its destination...
