When Qiao Yanhui wanted to deepen the kiss, the three children suddenly cried.
Xu Qing hurriedly pushed Qiao Yanhui away and coaxed her children with distress. She had indeed neglected her children these days. She really wasn’t a dutiful mother.
Qiao Yanhui was furious. He kept feeling that these three babies were doing it on purpose, so with a straight face, he glowered at the three children who were smiling at Xu Qing. Although his expression was tense, Qiao Yanhui’s eyes couldn’t help but soften. Although there were some things that hadn’t been verified, he already treated them as his biological children.
A year ago, he had been drugged and had fainted nearby. In a daze, he vaguely remembered having sex with a woman, but he didn’t remember the details. When he woke up, that woman had disappeared, so he didn’t take it to heart.
After regaining his memory this time, he remembered what he had done here. He also remembered that Xu Qing got pregnant out of wedlock. The timing matched, so he got someone to investigate.
Even though there was no result yet, he couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart. After all, which man didn’t hope that the children the woman he liked were his?
“If possible, I really hope the wedding can be postponed for a few years.” Xu Qing looked at the cute children in her arms and said with a look of pity.
These words made Qiao Yanhui’s expression darken. He gritted his teeth and said, “What do you mean?” This woman was actually not in a hurry to marry him and wanted to wait a few more years?
Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui’s dark expression and smiled. “I’m just thinking that in a few years, our children will be able to run and jump. At that time, I’ll be the bride and they’ll be the flower girls and ring bearers. How cute will that be?”
Qiao Yanhui’s eyes lit up. “If you like, we can have another wedding at that time.”
Xu Qing didn’t mind and continued to play with the children. However, her eyes suddenly lit up. “Little Hui, I want to open an amusement park for them.”
“I’ll listen to you.” Qiao Yanhui looked at Xu Qing lovingly. As long as she wanted to do something, he would support her.
Xu Qing continued to fantasize. “I think it’s better to wait until they’re older. At that time, they can play with the other children. I think the babies will definitely like it since they’ll have more playmates.”
However, Xu Qing also knew that this was unrealistic. After all, this venue had very important requirements. Also, the children in this world were very important, especially the nobles. They had several servants by their side. If anything happened, even if she had the Dark Night Army backing her, she would probably be in constant trouble.
Qiao Yanhui’s gaze darkened as he silently remembered Xu Qing’s words.
At night, Xu Sizhi brought a full account book for Xu Qing to see.
Xu Qing looked at the turnover and was instantly stunned. “We made this much money?” So there were so many low profile rich people in Nine Lakes Town? It was only the first day, but they had already earned so much money.
Looking at the bill in detail, she noticed that many of them were earned from selling peach blossom brew. Clearly, those people felt that drinking a small pot of it wasn’t satisfying enough and chose to buy more. Some of them gave it away as a gift, while others saved it for themselves. After all, there was a huge discount during the grand opening.
“The Golden Jade Hotel has only been open for a day. With such a huge turnover, it will definitely attract the hatred of the other hotels in town. Sizhi, send more people to secretly keep an eye on it. In addition, all the chefs in the hotel have to be careful of people poisoning the food.” Xu Qing was worried that the incident at the clothing shop would repeat itself. After all, the human heart was unpredictable, and when it came to hotel business, poisoning the food was the best way to ruin business.
“Don’t worry,” Xu Sizhi said.
“By the way, did you find anything about the Yin family?” Xu Qing suddenly thought of Master Yin, who came during the day. He couldn’t have left without doing anything after eating at her hotel.
“Please take a look at this. This is the information we found.” Xu Sizhi handed Xu Qing a note.
Before Xu Qing could see what was on it, Xu Sizhi say that he would go guard the hotel, and left.
Xu Qing wanted to tell him to rest first, but when she looked up, he was gone already.
As Qiao Yanhui stared at Xu Sizhi’s back, she fell into deep thought. This young man…
Xu Qing had no choice but to continue reading the information. Her expression slowly changed. The few assassins from last time were indeed sent by the Yin family! She really didn’t expect the Yin family to use such shady means for the sake of money!
Master Yin had probably come today to test her and rope her in…
