Xia Yunshu changed out of her school uniform and went downstairs to the dining room.

Qi Jing was already seated at the main seat of the table.

When he saw her coming over, he looked up at her. “Come here.”

Xia Yunshu, “…”

He was clearly asking her to come over for dinner.

Why couldn’t he say a few more words?

His words, which were originally very warm, suddenly sounded like an order.

“Okay.” She nodded and walked over to sit down.

She was so obedient.

“Eat something first.”

Qi Jing placed some food on her plate.

Dinner was not ready yet, and there were still two more dishes to go.

Qi Jing asked Aunt Song to bring out the prepared dishes first.

Xia Yunshu glanced at the food he placed into her bowl and raised her eyebrows slightly.

She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat slowly.

“I have a cousin who goes to the same school as you. I’ll find a time to let you two meet so that you can look after each other at school in the future.” Qi Jing suddenly said.

Hearing this, Xia Yunshu’s hand that was holding the chopsticks paused.

She looked at him.

The Qi family was a big family in Yu City and had a profound heritage.

However, the Qi family was not prosperous.

Qi Jing’s grandfather, Qi Jiu, only had two sons. 

The eldest son, Qi Yuheng, was Qi Jing’s father and only had one child. 

The second son, Qi Jun, was Qi Jing’s second uncle and only had one daughter.

Qi Jun and his wife were assassinated by Qi family’s enemies five years ago.

The daughter left behind was naturally pampered by the Qi family, indeed holding the highest status among the women in the Qi family.

Obviously, Xia Yunshu knew that the eldest daughter of the Qi family also studied in Yu City High School.

“Brother, there’s no rush. We’re in the same school. Who knows, we might meet one day.”

It was better to meet later. She wanted to spend some time alone.

Qi Jing looked at the girl in front of him.

The girl was wearing a long white dress with her long hair hanging down.

She wore a headband of the same colour as the dress on her head.

She was a well-behaved lady.

Then he thought about his cousin who fooled around all day and didn’t look like a socialite at all.

Forget it.

It was better that they do not know each other for the time being.

Otherwise, with the girl’s thirteen-year-old mind, she might be led astray by her cousin.

“Okay.”

Xia Yunshu looked at him strangely as he nodded.

He was so easy to communicate with?

“By the way, brother, did Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi say when they would be back from their trip?”

Although Qi Jing’s parents lived in Qi family’s old mansion instead of Jin Garden, if they came back from their trip, she would have to officially meet the Qi family.

At that time, it would be impossible for her to think about the two of them living alone.

She needed to know when they would be back and see if she needed to speed up her investigation on someone.

“Their vacation usually spanned half a year.”

Xia Yunshu’s eyes lit up.

Half a year?

Half a year was good!

Half a year was enough time to boil a frog in warm water.

Qi Jing’s parents were really willing to spend lavishly.

They handed over the company to him the moment he graduated from university, while the couple leisurely travelled around the world.

“Oh…”

Qi Jing looked at her. “Why are you asking this?”

Xia Yunshu was planning something else, but when she heard Qi Jing’s question, she casually gave a reason. “Oh, my father originally entrusted me to Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi to take care of me temporarily. I wanted to ask if I need to move to the Qi family’s old mansion when they return…”

Before he could finish, Qi Jing interrupted him. “No need.”

“Hmm?” She looked at him.

Qi Jing said, “Jin Garden is closer to the school, so it’s more convenient for you to live here.”

Although he didn’t have any expression on his face, Xia Yunshu could see something.

She chuckled. “Brother, you mean that Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi won’t ask me move to the old mansion, right?”

“Yes, the old mansion is far from your school, so it’s inconvenient for you.”

“What about your cousin?”

“I’ve heard Uncle Qi mention your cousin before. She seems to have always lived in the old house. Since she’s at the same school as me, I guess the old house shouldn’t be too far from the school. Moreover, if I live in the old house, I can also go to and from school together with Brother’s cousin.”

Qi Jing, “….”
