Xi Yu donned a pair of gold-rimd glasses today. Hearing what you said, she lightly lifted her glasses with her hand and said with feigned seriousness, "Master Li, a man should be as good as his word. You keep saying that the young lady is yours; then you should register at the civil affairs bureau and marry her with proper ceremonies and betrothal gifts."
"It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."
You weighed the large hiking backpack in your hand, squeezed past Xi Yu, and got into the SUV.
Riding in a luxury car worth over ten million sure is comfortable...
It was smooth and steady, feeling almost like walking on flat ground; you couldn’t even tell the car was moving on the road.
Zhao’er leaned against you, nestling half her body against yours—soft and gentle, truly comfortable...
At that mont, Wu Qiyi erged from her private room, dressed in clothes commonly seen on the street: a durable and simple denim shirt paired with jeans. Her soft long hair was tied into a beautiful and eye-catching ponytail, showing off her delicate face completely.
However, to avoid so unnecessary trouble, she still wore a pair of black-frad glasses, effectively disguising her beauty.
In fact, Wu Qiyi didn’t realize that with her looks, figure, and temperant, no disguise could hide her.
"Xi Yu, you should change your clothes too."
Xi Yu nodded and was about to enter her room when you said to her, "Based on my over a decade of experience at Sculpted Silk, let give you so advice. Definitely don’t wear a suit again, and you must wear jeans like Little Yun."
Hearing this, Xi Yu paused slightly, then laughed, "It seems that even my slender figure has caught Master Li’s eye."
You rolled your eyes and started dressing Zhao’er.
You had already picked out Zhao’er’s clothes before leaving the house. Since you might stay out for a few days, you brought her three T-shirts. Naturally, the pants had to be durable jeans—a single pair would suffice.
As for her underwear, well, you brought a dozen—twelve pairs. Aside from the seven rainbow colors, there were another five pairs with lacy edges.
Like Wu Qiyi, you tied Zhao’er’s hair into a ponytail too. Speaking of hair, what you found curious and also helpless was that since you saw Zhao’er in the Palace under the Wordless Monunt last sumr, her hair hasn’t changed at all.
Zhao’er’s body was quite different from normal people’s. No matter how beautiful, delicate, or goddess-like soone was, if they didn’t take a bath for three days, they’d surely have a body odor, and as for underwear, it would definitely need to change daily.
But Zhao’er was different. Even if she didn’t bathe for a year, her body remained smooth as jade, and she always seed to carry a unique fragrance, which you’d only notice when close to her, and you couldn’t help but be captivated by it.
As you combed Zhao’er’s hair, Wu Qiyi sat quietly beside you, watching with a smiling face.
You felt a bit awkward about this scenario.
She didn’t say much, quiet like a lone blooming orchid...
When you found Sun Lin, he was busily packing up equipnt with his team and so staff mbers.
When you stepped out of the SUV with Zhao’er, Wu Qiyi, and Xi Yu in tow, Sun Lin’s team and the nearby staff were stunned.
Especially the younger n, they all had stars in their eyes.
Sun Lin was taken aback for a few seconds before he recovered and walked over to you with a smile.
"Professor Sun, I’m not late, am I?" you said, shaking hands with Sun Lin with a smile.
"You’re just in ti; we’re about to head to the Qinling Mountains." Then, Sun Lin looked at the three won behind you and asked, "Are they all your girlfriends?"
Sun Lin’s words nearly made you choke on your own saliva. You cleared your throat and introduced the three ladies behind you to Sun Lin one by one.
First was Zhao’er, "This is my girlfriend, Li Zhao, Zhao’er. She’s a student at Jiang University, just like ."
"Hello, I am a doctoral advisor at the Archaeology Departnt of Eastern Sea University, Sun Lin." Sun Lin, a shrewd man, did not extend his hand but nodded at Zhao’er.
Zhao’er did not make any movents but still responded, "Hello."
Next was Wu Qiyi, "This is my... childhood friend, Wu Qiyi. She is also a student at Jiang University."
Wu Qiyi smiled and gave Sun Lin a slight nod, "Professor Sun, I’ve long admired your reputation."
Sun Lin was first stunned, then he suddenly felt the na "Wu Qiyi" sounded familiar. Soon he clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I rember now, you are Mr. Wu’s daughter. We t last year at the British Royal Museum."
"Professor Sun has a good mory. Indeed, we t last March at the British Royal Museum."
Sun Lin patted your shoulder, giving you a thumbs-up, "Mu Yun, aweso! You’re really aweso!"
Sun Lin’s face carried an expression that was better understood through implications rather than words, leaving you speechless and nearly losing the mood to introduce Xi Yu.
However, for the sake of the collaboration in the upcoming days, you still introduced Xi Yu to Sun Lin. As you did, the people nearby pricked up their ears to listen, scared of missing a single word.
"This is Little Yun’s personal assistant, her na is Xi Yu."
Xi Yu’s attitude was as cold and aloof as usual, making her seem very distant, "Hello, Professor Sun."
Sun Lin smiled; he had of course seen Xi Yu last year and his impression of her had not changed—it was still the sa as now.
"Initially, I wanted to introduce so of my students, but we’re short on ti now, so let’s talk in the car."
"Sure, sounds good."
The team’s vehicle was naturally an ordinary bus. Sun Lin brought four students, and he introduced each of them on the bus.
There was one female and three male students.
The female was nad Ke Min. She had a boyfriend nad Yang Runzhang. Neither of them talked much, but they had friendly faces and seed easy to get along with.
The other two male students included a tall and thin man nad Ju Hua. Unlike the others, after he glanced at the three ladies, he spent the rest of the ti staring at you unwaveringly—this guy seed a bit odd.
The man wearing glasses with a mushroom haircut who couldn’t even speak when he saw girls was nad Tu Zhiqing.
The rest were several staff mbers from Sun Lin’s team. Because there were many people, you did not bother to rember their nas.
After leaving Chang’an and entering the Qinling Mountains, the mountain road beca rugged and steep.
Around two in the afternoon, the four-vehicle convoy finally arrived at the destination.
The vehicles stopped at a relatively secluded mountain village. The environnt was beautiful, with the village nestled against the mountains and beside the water.
It’s just that the sun overhead was too scorching, causing everyone except the staff moving equipnt to hurry towards the shade of the trees upon disembarking, leaving little interest in enjoying the surrounding scenery.
"Mu Yun, co sit by , it’s much cooler here."
You had just settled with Zhao’er when a voice that could make your hair stand on end ca from behind!
