Chapter 6: Mutual Temptation
"Do you want to leave now or do you want to leave again with a saliva?" the man asked politely.
"Let's go out first, it's not too late to go out about drinking water. "Right now, Ling Xi just wants to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible, and doesn't want to do anything else.
"Let's go, I'll take you out. As soon as he finished speaking, he walked straight on.
"Oh, okay, thank you. Ling Xi hurriedly thanked him and followed.
Knowing that I could go out, and with people I had seen, this mood suddenly became beautiful. I took a deep breath and felt like my whole person was relaxed.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a bright starry sky, which was really beautiful. For a person living in a big city, she can't see such a starry sky in the city, so she is unconsciously attracted by this starry sky.
"Ah~" When Ling Xi came back to his senses, his feet had already twisted because of stepping on the empty stone steps, and he suddenly wanted to cry in pain.
"I'll see. The man sat her down and lifted her twisted right foot to look at it.
"I try to gently turn my lower ankle, it might hurt a little, you put up with it and see if there are any broken bones. As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't stop his hand, and directly turned his ankle back and forth.
"Hiss~" Ling Xi's instinctive feet also retracted, but he grabbed it and couldn't shrink it.
"It didn't hurt the bones, it should have been just a slight sprain, and it would be fine after two days of rest. Then he reached out and helped Ling Xi up from the ground. "Can you still go?"
"Thanks, you can go, but maybe slower. Ling Xi replied embarrassedly.
"Well, then I'll help you walk slowly. After finishing speaking, he changed to a comfortable position and helped Ling Xi to continue walking.
"That...... May I ask, who are you?" she finally asked.
"I'm the boss here, are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Uh...... Kind of expected. ”
"Really, how do you know?"
"Intuition, to put it bluntly, is also a guess. Ling Xi said with a smile.
"Can you tell me, then, who are you, and what are you doing here?" he asked, turning his head abruptly to look at her.
When I met his bottomless eyes, I was unconsciously a little nervous.
"My name is Ling Xi, and I came here with my colleagues from the company for an outing. ”
"The boy who was with you yesterday is also your colleague?"
"Well, yes, my boss to be exact. ”
"How did you come up with the idea of coming here for a vacation?"
"Then you'll have to ask my boss, I didn't know about it beforehand, and I'm not keen on vacations. ”
"I take the liberty of asking, Miss Ling: Which room do you live in? Your foot is injured, if you don't mind, I'll send you back directly in a while. ”
"Jade Glass Pavilion. ”
After that, neither of them spoke again along the way, but just walked quietly.
It took about twenty minutes or so before I walked to the gate of the courtyard of the Jade Glass Pavilion.
"Thank you for today, if it weren't for your help, it might be difficult for me to come back tonight. Ling Xi sincerely thanked.
"It's just a gesture, so why worry about it. However, Miss Ling should pay attention to rest, it is best to walk less in the past two days, it will get better faster. He said lightly.
"Oh, you've been with me for so long, go in and sit down for a cup of tea before you go. Ling Xi said as he took out the key and opened the door.
"Excuse me, thanks. ”
After entering the door, the two of them walked in the direction of the tea room, and before they sat down, Lin Yi's voice came.
"Miss Ling: You're finally back. Lin Yi walked up to him only to find that there was another man, and immediately greeted him: "Hello, son." ”
He just nodded in acknowledgment and didn't speak.
"Yiyi: Are you looking for me for something?" Ling Xi is a smart person, so naturally he won't say much to introduce, thinking that he is unwilling to reveal his identity in front of employees.
"It's okay, just according to the regulations, I will send you tomorrow's itinerary. After speaking, Lin Yi handed the itinerary in his hand to Ling Xi.
"Okay, thanks. took the itinerary handed by Lin Yi, put it aside casually, and continued, "Yiyi, please make us a pot of tea." ”
"Okay, I'll go now, is it okay with black tea?"
"Yes. ”
After Lin Yi withdrew, Ling Xi felt that he had taken this opportunity to solve his doubts and save his curiosity from being too inflated. So I tried to ask, "That...... Can I take the liberty of asking you a few questions?"
"Excuse me. He looked relaxed.
"Is it true that the legend that you are a member of the royal family?" asked a rare look of curiosity on Ling Xi's face, and a pair of big eyes stared directly at the person opposite.
"What do you think?"
"I don't make empty guesses. ”
"Rumors are not credible, haven't you heard of them?"
"Okay, then the next question, the palace was only officially opened to the public in March this year, so what was it doing here before?"
"Well, it's true that it's selectively open to the public in March, but the palace was still like this before March, but it's not open to the public, and naturally no one knows. ”
"Rumor has it that this is your ancestral business?"
"This rumor is true, indeed, as far as you see now, the appearance of the palace is no less than a hundred years old. ”
Glimpsing Lin Yi walking towards them with a pot of tea, they had a tacit understanding to temporarily suspend the topic.
Lin Yi put down the tea and poured a cup of tea for each of them, "Use it slowly." After speaking, he retreated to Ling Xi's side.
"Yiyi: You go back to rest early, you've worked hard today, see you tomorrow. Ling Xi didn't think it was too early, it was time to let Lin Yi rest, besides, she still had a lot of questions to ask, and Lin Yi definitely couldn't ask them.
"Okay, Miss Ling: Then I'll go back first. Good night. Yubi Linyi withdrew directly.
After taking a sip of tea, Ling Xi continued to ask, "Can I continue to ask?"
"Yes. ”
"Why are there forbidden places and traps here?"
"Because it was there, and that was the case when I took over. ”
"Why did you suddenly think of opening up to the outside world?"
"Because I'm looking for someone. ”
"Looking for someone?" Ling Xi never expected it to be for this reason.
"Well, find someone. ”
"Did you find it?"
"Not yet. ”
"So what kind of person are you looking for? Maybe I can help you find it." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but you can't help me. I don't even know the person I'm looking for. ”
"Huh, I don't know and I'm looking for someone, so how do I find it?"
"Just go with the flow. ”
"I heard Yiyi say that they haven't seen you, so why don't they see their own employees?"
"Because it's not necessary. ”
"Hehe, that's a good reason. ”
"One last question, if someone buys your palace at a high price, will you sell it?"
"I'm not short of money, so I don't sell either. ”
"Also, how can the owner of the palace be short of money. That's a stupid question. Ling Xi thought that he was really IQ offline, so he asked this question.
"Can you ask me a few questions?" he asked calmly, looking at Ling Xi.
"Of course, just ask. ”
"Do you believe in chance?"
"Letter. ”
"Did you see anything when you visited the lake during the day?"
"Swim in the lake...... I thought about it, I didn't see anything special, I just spent a long time in a daze, what's wrong? Should I see anything?" she suddenly wondered, could it be that she had missed something?
"No, just ask. ”
But Ling Xi was sure that he couldn't ask casually, but he didn't know his intentions.
"It's not too early, I'll leave today, and if Miss Ling is free tomorrow, I'll pick you up in the afternoon and take you to a place." If you don't have time, I'll talk about it. With that, he got up and stood up.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon. Ling Xi also got up.
"You stay, have a good rest, and take your leave. See you tomorrow afternoon. After saying that, he went straight out the door.
Ling Xi shook his head, feeling even more confused, so he simply didn't want to do it and went back to his room to sleep. No, I forgot one thing, the itinerary.
Take a look at it, it's nothing special, it's just that 19:00 tomorrow night is the designated event to leave the garden, and you must participate. The meeting point is in the exhibition hall.
Fortunately, there is basically no conflict, except for the appointment of the mysterious boss, you only need to attend the designated event, and the rest can be pushed off on the grounds of a foot injury.
By the time she got to bed, it was almost midnight, and she thought about it a lot, and just asked a lot of questions tentatively, but the answer was that it was not leaky. Of course, it is also clear that the other party is also testing her.
Alas...... I don't want to, I'm really tired today, get a good night's sleep, recharge my energy, and find a good opportunity to try it tomorrow.
Xu was really tired, and after a while, Ling Xi fell asleep.
It feels good to have a good night's sleep and wake up naturally.
Suzu ~ Suzu ~ Suzu ...... It turned out that the mobile phone rang, and when I took it over, it was 09:08, and the name of the caller ID was still the annoying Xiao Dashao.
"Hey, why are you calling me this early in the morning?" Ling Xi said angrily.
"Still angry? It's not too early, I'm just telling you, I've just left, and I'm going to fly directly to Canada in the evening. After speaking, he yawned, Xiao Mo was really a little sleepy, and he didn't sleep well at all last night.
"What are you angry about, I can't do it, I'm the one who gets angry in the end, I'm not that stupid. Ling Xi continued impatiently: "Are you okay if you have something? ”
"Of course there's something, didn't I invite a heavyweight guest to come? Remember to entertain people on my behalf and get along with them. Also, if possible, you still have to find out the situation of leaving the palace as much as possible, whether you can take it for your own use or not, it doesn't hurt to figure it out. Xiao Mo said in a serious way.
"This person was invited by yourself, not by me, why should I entertain? This depends on my mood, if I am in a good mood, I will reluctantly entertain him, and if I am in a bad mood, I will be sorry, let people play by themselves. As for the matter of leaving the palace, I will pay attention to it, and I will talk about it when I go back when the outing is over. ”
"Okay, that's it, I'll see you when I come back from my business trip. ”
"Hmm. ”
After hanging up the phone, I felt a little hungry, but I didn't want to go out to eat, although the foot injury was not serious, but it still hurt a little to walk. Anyway, it's not long before lunch time, so I'll just go out for lunch later.
Now I just open the mailbox to see the company's email, and deal with it in time if there is something that needs to be handled.
