“Why can’t you take a joke?” Zhao Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him.
“Get me a place to sit first. I’m carrying a lot of things. You don’t know how to come and help me?”
“You’re the one who decided to bring these things. How’s that got to do with me?” Although Qian Liuguang said that, he still reached out and took them from her.
“Follow me.”
He led her into a room.
The interior of the room looked the same as the outside. There was no tiled roof either. Looking um they could see the sunlight shining directly at them.
They sat down at the stone table. Zhao Xiaoli poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.
“Drink this. I made this especially for you.”
Qian Liuguang took it but did not drink it. Instead, he brought it to his nose and sniffed it.
He only appeared a little satisfied after confirming that there was no poison.
However, he had always been cautious. Even if he was certain she had not poisoned the tea, he would not drink it.
“That’s very thoughtful of you, but I’m not thirsty now.”
Zhao Xiaoli’s hand, which was holding the teapot, paused, but she composed herself in the next second.
“Are you doubting me?
With that, she snatched the teacup from Qian Liuguang and drank it in one gulp.
Qian Liuguang smiled when he saw that she had drunk it.
“You’re overthinking it. Even if I suspect someone, I won’t suspect you. How did the task I assigned you go?”
He shifted from discussing poison to the next topic. He did not disclose his hiding location to Zhao Xiaoli without reason, nor did he intend for her to deliver tea and snacks.
Zhao Xiaoli narrowed her eyes and said, “I’ve already thrown out that Chai guy.”
“But are you sure throwing him out would be useful? He’s just a second-rate young master who has been spoiled by his family. What use could he possibly have?”
“You don’t have to know that,” Qian Liuguang said with a smile. He would not tell Zhao Xiaoli. It was sufficient as long as he knew.
“You sure have a lot of secrets.”
Zhao Xiaoli did not probe further and only mocked him.
“Forget it. I don’t want to know either. He’s already been thrown out. I don’t care what happens to him. Don’t even think about implicating me.” “Good.” Qian Liuguang’s thin lips curled up slightly as he nodded.
“Be careful when you go to Jun Lin Hall tonight. Don’t lose your life there,” he reminded Zhao Xiaoli, which was rare.
But only he knew what his advice truly meant.
“I know,” Zhao Xiaoli replied. How could she not know?
Everyone knew that Qian Liuguang had ulterior motives. Few people would escape tonight, right?
However, there was something she could not understand. What was the point of throwing Chai Qingyu out? Was it just to confuse people? It did not seem like something a smart person like him could do.
“I’ll take care of my people. Can you handle the others?” she asked.
Qian Liuguang did not speak and only gave her a meaningful look.
They chatted for a long time until Qian Liuguang’s gaze began to blur. She finally set down the cup in her hand, smiling as she looked at him.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, as if to ask, “Who said the poison had to be in the tea or snacks?”
