"Of course this is a big deal; if you don’t make an effort, Brother Yu will be snatched away by soone else." Jieke said anxiously.
Xi’er smacked him and said, "Talking nonsense, what snatched away?"
Seeing his sister’s indifferent deanor, Jieke then said, "I don’t care anymore; if you’re not worried, then I don’t need to be worried either."
Having said that, he turned around and walked away.
Xi’er felt uncomfortable inside; she was confident that her looks were top-notch here. She had never t anyone prettier than herself. She really wanted to see what kind of beauty her brother was talking about.
After thinking for a mont, she walked outside.
At this ti, many of the things Xi’er bought had already been transported to Xiang Yu’s place, where he originally planned to have Tie Zhuzi make arrangents.
However, Long Wu stopped him and said, "Let handle it. If you let him arrange it, he might eat all the edible stuff."
Tie Zhuzi smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Long Wu, let help you."
Little Xuan also went along with Long Wu, leaving Xiang Yu alone standing there, lost in thought.
The task entrusted to him by the Number One from Huaxia left him with no clue, or rather, absolutely no idea where to start.
The large military parade was due next year, yet external threats had not been eliminated, which worried Xiang Yu.
He had promised Number One to develop his forces until they were capable of contending with Wolf Fang. But now, the Long March had rely begun.
Number One hadn’t called him during this period, presumably because he had lost hope in him.
Just as Xiang Yu was wandering in his thoughts, Xi’er ca over from behind.
"Why are you alone? Where are they?" Xi’er looked around.
"They’re all busy." Xiang Yu returned to reality and said with a gentle smile.
Xi’er stood next to Xiang Yu for quite a while before asking, "I heard you brought soone back, who is it?"
After asking, Xi’er regretted it a bit; it was obvious she was there to inquire about the beauty.
"A friend from Huaxia, whom I invited here to help build the city," Xiang Yu candidly replied.
He understood Xi’er’s intent, but Xiang Yu didn’t want to involve feelings; he had too many emotional debts.
"She ca to build the city?" Xi’er was both excited and a little surprised after hearing this. How could such a beautiful woman have such a huge capability to be invited by Xiang Yu to build a city?
Xiang Yu nodded and did not elaborate, instead standing there and saying, "Our city is too backward now; we have to go out of town to buy food. In the future, I want to build a large mall in the central area and set up a ranch outside..."
Xiang Yu was full of vision as he planned, while Xi’er stood there staring dumbfounded at Xiang Yu.
The man before her was truly too attractive; she found herself unable to resist Xiang Yu’s charm.
"What do you think?" After speaking, Xiang Yu turned and glanced at Xi’er.
Seeing Xi’er’s infatuated expression, she seed one step away from kissing him.
"Xi’er? Are you alright?" Xiang Yu asked.
Only then did Xi’er co to her senses, coughing awkwardly before saying, "You’re right."
Xiang Yu: "..."
The two discussed there for a while, and just then Long Wu returned with Tie Zhuzi.
From afar, Tie Zhuzi saw Xi’er next to Xiang Yu; he glanced at Little Xuan and said, "Oh right, I rembered sothing, gotta handle it quickly."
Little Xuan furrowed his brows, unsure what Tie Zhuzi ant. After mulling over that he was idle, he followed Long Wu towards Xiang Yu.
As they approached, he understood Tie Zhuzi’s aning, but by then it was a bit too late to leave.
"Who’s that?" Long Wu asked Little Xuan.
"A local resident, quite capable," Little Xuan replied truthfully.
Long Wu nodded and walked straight over.
Xi’er also noticed Long Wu; the two t eyes, each harboring an indescribable hostility.
Xi’er was inwardly shocked, thinking this person so beautiful was her first ti seeing soone so stunning.
"Let introduce you," Xiang Yu broke the awkward silence.
"No need, this must be the famous Xi’er, right?" Long Wu eagerly stepped forward with her hand extended.
While distributing supplies, Long Wu heard of Xi’er’s na, just not expecting to et so soon.
"Hello," Xi’er proactively extended her hand.
Long Wu calmly shook hands with her.
Although neither said anything excessive, Xiang Yu standing nearby felt an evident tense atmosphere.
"Since both of you are here, let’s talk about developing this city," Xiang Yu broke the stalemate.
"I’ve drafted the legal frawork for the city; I’ll bring it later for you to review." Xi’er said.
No rule ans no order; with ard forces now developed, all that’s missing is a complete set of systems.
"Alright, once you bring it over, we’ll discuss and promptly implent it," Xiang Yu said decisively.
"Long Wu, what do you think would be a good economy to develop here first?" Xiang Yu asked.
"I don’t plan on developing anything here." Long Wu replied coldly.
Xiang Yu: "..."
Xi’er’s eyes showed panic; she placed all her hopes on this woman, but now she’s saying she doesn’t plan to develop here. This made her feel a bit broken.
"Didn’t Xiang Yu invite you?" Xi’er asked worriedly.
"No, I’m just here traveling," Long Wu said calmly as she finished, then turned to walk outside.
Xiang Yu helplessly shook his head, knowing Long Wu was certainly sulking.
He glanced at Little Xuan, signaling him to keep close to Long Wu to prevent any dangers.
Xi’er looked at Xiang Yu nervously and said, "What should we do? Is she angry because of ? If it’s because of , I can leave."
Watching her anxious expression, Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Don’t overthink, focus on your work. I’ll persuade her."
Xi’er then nodded and said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t realize the nature of your relationship, I was presumptuous."
Xi’er said that and turned to leave; she didn’t want her mistake to hinder the entire city’s developnt.
Between the city’s growth and personal happiness, if she had to choose one, she would choose the city’s developnt without hesitation.
This is her hotown, the land she passionately loves. Since she was young, she vowed to build up this entire city.
Long Wu indeed harbored so petulance, but mostly, she didn’t want to develop here.
It’s extrely poor; she wasn’t obligated to help develop it, seeing as it’s not Huaxia here either.
As Long Wu wandered the streets, the crowd on both sides grew denser, pointing and whispering.
Long Wu beca aware of the situation and felt a bit worried. She then looked at Little Xuan and asked, "What are they up to?"
Little Xuan also shook his head in helpless puzzlent...
