Chapter 586: The Long Night
For Dowling's big spending, everyone present was not surprised, because Concubine Li was the shopkeeper, and from today onwards, all the income and expenditure of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Residence would have to pass through her hands.
"Quit drinking, you clean up the shop at the door these days, and your wine will be put on the shelves in a different grade, and you can set the price yourself." Dowling thought about quitting alcohol and said.
Quit nodded.
"I also need to process the pipes in a deep process and optimize the process, at least it looks finer, at least it looks a little more classy." Dowling continued.
"We're not too good at carpentry, so we'll have to find a master." Qin An said.
"That's not necessary, you just need to make a move with Shishi, let's have a private custom pipe, and customize it for him according to the needs of customers."
"For example, if he wants to carve a dragon on his pipe, Shishi will carve one for him, and if he wants to leave a word, Qin An will carve a word for him."
Qin An and Mo Shishi's eyes lit up, this kind of miniature carving process is actually a test of technology, and it can also allow them to practice their skills.
After summarizing today's harvest, everyone went back to rest, Jiujue, the Qiu brothers, Wu Ziyong, Xiaoru, and Mi Lu stayed here, and the rest returned home.
In this way, both sides appear much spacious.
Late at night, Xiao Ru's room door opened slightly diagonally, and then Xiao Ru walked out dressed in a night suit, and after confirming that there was no one, she flew up and left the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Residence.
In the darkness not far from her, a pair of sharp eyes suddenly appeared, and Su Chen walked out of the darkness with a sword.
He hadn't fallen asleep, and when he was wandering at night, he heard a sound, and he immediately restrained his breath and hid it.
"Where is this going at such a late hour?" Su Chen looked in the direction Xiao Ru left.
He is also a kendo genius, although he is not as dazzling as Dowling, that talent is not much different from quitting alcohol, and he can naturally fight beyond the level.
After hesitating for a moment, he jumped up directly and chased after him, his body was very elegant, as if he was an immortal.
Xiao Ru moved quickly on the roof under the cover of night, and a hundred meters behind her, Su Chen followed her slowly.
After following him all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Su Chen did not continue to follow up, and glanced at the City Lord's Mansion coldly, and he returned.
After Xiao Ru entered the City Lord's Mansion, she went directly to Li Aimin's room.
At this time, Li Aimin was already preparing to rest, and the maids who warmed the bed had just finished serving him and were about to go to bed to rest, when there was a sudden knock at the door.
"Who?" Li Aimin turned his head to look at the door and asked.
"It's meβ" A gloomy female voice rang out.
Li Aimin's eyebrows jumped, and then he waved his hand at the bed-warming maid who was about to get close to him.
The bed-warming maid bowed slightly and retreated.
"Come in!" Li Aimin put on a light pajama and shouted towards the door.
Xiao Ru pushed the door and walked in.
"I thought you would come early, I was waiting for you for a while, but you didn't come, and I was just about to rest." Li Aimin explained intentionally or unintentionally.
"They just left, and I left after Dowling left." Xiao Ru said expressionlessly.
"There's no tail behind you, right?" Li Aimin asked as he sat behind his desk.
"There are no masters here, just some transcendent realms." Xiao Ru shook her head and said.
"Well, tell me what you know." Li Aimin nodded and said.
Then Xiao Ru told the story of what she had recently discovered in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Residence.
"Just busy opening a restaurant? Nothing else? Li Aimin frowned after listening to what Xiaoru said.
"It's really not, at least nothing important has been said on the surface." Xiao Ru affirmed.
"Then keep staring at them, I don't think they just want to do business, because they don't care about money at all." Li Aimin pointed his finger on the table and said.
Xiao Ru nodded to indicate that she understood, and without waiting for Li Aimin to say anything, she got up and left directly.
Li Aimin looked at the back of Xiaoru leaving, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
"I'm a dignified city lord, the fourth master of the Li family, and I can't take you goblin."
Li Aimin stood up directly and walked back to the bed, and the bed-warming maid walked back.
Li Aimin stretched out his finger and pointed down, and the bed-warming maid nodded and knelt down.
It is said that Xiao Ru's mood was not very stable after leaving the City Lord's Mansion, and she did not walk on the roof again this time, but walked slowly on the street.
She had mixed feelings, and after living with Dowling and them for more than a month, she suddenly got used to this kind of life.
In them, she felt that kind of real family affection, that kind of unreserved family affection, Li Aimin asked her to spy on Daolin and them, she really didn't want to do it anymore.
Just as she was pondering things, suddenly a voice sounded from the alley on one side.
"It's been a long night, Miss Xiaoru is very interested!"
Xiao Ru, who was thinking about things, was startled, she turned her head to look at the dark alley, and saw Su Chen, who was holding a long sword, slowly walking out of the darkness.
"You're stalking me?" Xiao Ru asked coldly.
"I happened to see it." Su Chen said expressionlessly.
"What do you want?" Xiao Ru narrowed her eyes, she was ready to kill at any time.
"Don't you go back? Let's do it together. Su Chen said that he turned around and left.
Xiaoru didn't react for a while, could it be that this guy didn't want to do it with him?
The two of them walked on the silent street one after the other, neither of them spoke again, and after returning to the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Residence together, Su Chen also deliberately let Xiaoru go first.
Xiao Ru nodded at him, and the two changed their positions, with Xiao Ru in front and Su Chen in the back.
The two of them returned to their respective rooms at the same time, looked at each other, and then pushed the door open at the same time and walked in.
In the dimly lit room, Xiao Ru sat on the bed, her thoughts falling on Su Chen, a swordsman who looked a few years younger than her with a very attractive temperament.
"You're so shameless, what are you thinking?" Xiao Ru scolded herself secretly, but her cheeks involuntarily turned red.
"He followed me, he should know where I went, I really despise them." Xiao Ru muttered as she lay on the bed.
"He's not going to tell Dowling!" Thinking of this, Xiao Ru suddenly got up from the bed.
Her heart began to beat higher, her mind began to panic, and she suddenly became afraid.
After a while, she was shocked to find that she was not afraid that Dao Lin would know the truth, but that she was afraid that Su Chen would alienate her because of this.
At the same moment, Su Chen also sat on the bed and did not fall asleep, two long swords were placed on his knees, his eyes were a little dull, and he didn't know if the question he was thinking about was the same as Xiao Ru.
"You must not do anything that is sorry for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or I will not hesitate to attack you."
