Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingyan became serious.

He sat up straight and looked at Zhao Ruxi: "What's going on?"

Zhao Ruxi didn't say anything, but took a piece of snack and started eating it.

"You woman..." Xiao Lingyan was very suffocated.

Zhao Ruxi ignored him, finished the snacks, took another sip of tea, and then squinted at him: "Is there such a thing as a free lunch? What's your attitude? Believe it or not, I'll just leave and never see you again."

Ignore you?"

Xiao Lingyan stared at her, but after looking at her for a while, he waved his hands like a deflated ball and said, "Okay, okay, I'm begging you now. What do you want?"

"When you went to Jiangnan this time, you didn't set up any industry or anything?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

Xiao Lingyan: "..." He looked at Zhao Ruxi as if he were a monster.

What Zhao Ruxi said was just a lie. Looking at his expression now, she knew she had made the right bet.

She laughed: "We are not rivals for nothing. How do you say that? The person who knows you best is your enemy. You went to Jiangnan as soon as you crossed over. I don't believe you didn't take advantage of it."

Take this opportunity to give yourself a backup plan."

"Huh." Xiao Lingyan smiled sarcastically, "You guessed it based on your thinking, right?"

"I'm pressed for time, so I won't argue with you about this. Just tell me whether I'll give it or not, and how much I'll give you. If we can't agree on the price, I'll leave directly."

"Don't be like this." Xiao Lingyan changed his face and showed a warm smile, "We are fellow villagers after all, and we know the ins and outs of each other. Let's not be so familiar, okay? Look, I am a prince now, what a thick golden thigh.

Ah, I can completely cover you. If you want to gain fame and profit for your Suiping residence, that’s fine. If you want to do business and make a lot of money, I can also partner with you."

"No, refuse." Zhao Ruxi stood up, "If you think so, then we can't continue talking. Let me tell you, the last thing I want to get involved with is you princes. When we walk out of this door, we will

No one knows anyone."

Xiao Lingyan stared at her without speaking.

It wasn't until Zhao Ruxi walked to the door and opened it to go out that he said, "Okay, I promise you."

Zhao Ruxi turned around and looked at him quietly without speaking.

Xiao Lingyan said: "I have only been here for a short time, and I don't have much money in my hands. Although there are many things in the palace, they cannot be taken out and sold."

Seeing that Zhao Ruxi looked impatient and seemed about to turn around again, he quickly said: "So I only bought two shops and one village, and I bought it in the name of a distant relative of the Cen family."

Zhao Ruxi frowned and looked at him suspiciously: "So poor?"

Xiao Lingyan spread his hands helplessly.

Zhao Ruxi glanced at him and had to go back and sit down, saying: "I won't finish taking your things, you give me a shop, and the rest..."

She pondered for a moment: "Just give me another 20,000 taels of silver. If you don't have it now, you can put it in the account. Although you are not a very good person, your credit is still good, and I am not afraid of you defaulting on your debt."

Xiao Lingyan looked at her without saying a word, his eyes as deep as a deep pool, and his expression became solemn.

He said solemnly: "Okay."

He has been rivals with Zhao Ruxi for many years, and he knows very well that the woman in front of him is a master of plucking hair, especially for people like him who she can't stand, she will pluck as much as possible.

But the price she asked for was completely beyond his expectation. Now he deeply felt that the matter seemed to be more serious than he imagined.

If she hadn't been afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle the situation, she wouldn't have left anything for him.

She has many faults, but she has one great advantage, and that is her righteousness.

At that time, her tutor was accused of plagiarizing the works of international famous artists, and other students left him, fearing that their future would be affected. But she never left him, running around, trying her best to clear her tutor's name. In the end, the truth came to light, and the tutor recovered.

After gaining his reputation, he said in public that he only recognized Xu Xi as a student.

Now she did not try her best to blackmail him, but only took away a few things symbolically, leaving him with some capital so that he could make money. All she could say was that what she said was true and was not alarmist.

The final fate of this body may be more tragic than he imagined.

She yells loudly, but her heart is soft after all. If he asks her for help, she will help him in the end, right?

"If..." he said seriously and solemnly, "if I can survive that disaster, I will promise you two things. As long as it does not involve my personal safety and moral bottom line, I will promise you."

Only then did Zhao Ruxi become satisfied.

"Deal." She said.

"Then you can tell me now what will happen next, right?"

Zhao Ruxi nodded, took a look outside, and simply sat next to Xiao Lingyan. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she told Xiao Lingyan everything she knew about the plot.

When he heard that he had entered a sweet pet novel, the expression on Xiao Lingyan's face was quite wonderful.

When he is bored in modern times, he will also read some online novels, but he never reads romance novels.

One time, my aunt's cousin, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, came to play at home and left a physical book in the living room. When he was bored, he flipped through two pages and found that his cousin kept talking about the beautiful and particularly beautiful sweet pet of the overbearing CEO.

The article is a completely illogical and brainless novel.

As a secretary, the heroine can fall flatly into the hero's arms while walking. She can scatter flowers all over the floor when picking up documents. She can burn her hands even if she pours coffee. She can also make mistakes when answering the phone.

However, her education is not high, her clothes are rustic, her eyes are covered by her hair, and she looks ordinary. She is as timid as a rabbit in everything she does.

Such a secretary turns out to be cute in the eyes of the male protagonist who is the domineering boss!

He almost didn't recognize the word cute at that time.

"You mean, the male protagonist of this sweet novel is Fu Yunlang, and the female protagonist is the woman who had a different life experience with you? What's your name?"

"Zhao Ruyu."

Xiao Lingyan's expression was hard to describe: "No wonder I always feel that Fu Yunlang's performance... is so stupid that it's a bit refreshing and refined."

He looked at Zhao Ruxi: "Is this the novel you girls like to read?"

Zhao Ruxi rolled her eyes at him: "Don't make generalizations. I'm not the one. In addition, Fu Yunlang will also grow up. Please give him time to grow up."

Xiao Lingyan: "..."

"Okay, that's not the point." He waved his hand, "The point is that Xiao Lingpu, me, and Fu Yunkai must die?"

"Yes, there are also the crown prince and the fourth prince." Zhao Ruxi said.

Xiao Lingyan touched his chin: "So it was all the third prince who did it?"
