"Yes, I admit, I am tempted." Chen Jinjun nodded generously.
Xu Fanming had expected this answer a long time ago, but when he heard it from Chen Jinjun's mouth, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Since my boss is interested, and Marshal Huo is also happy with my boss, why..." He asked Chen Jinjun hesitantly with a thoughtful look on his face.
Chen Jinjun turned away and looked at Xu Fanming: "So, does the escort think now is the time to fall in love?"
Xu Fanming looked at Chen Jinjun, was stunned for a moment, and looked away with a smile: "When you talk about love, you don't have to choose the right time to talk about love, in front of flowers and under the moon, in the clouds and rain in Wushan, it's just that it happens naturally when you are interested."
As he spoke, Xu Fanming stood up and looked at Chen Jinjun condescendingly, with deep paranoia in his eyes: "Or should I say that my boss must choose a good and auspicious day for whatever he does? Including...the wedding ceremony?"
He said the last few words with great affection, as if the Chen Jinjun in front of him was an old friend he had loved for many years.
Chen Jinjun looked at Xu Fanming: "Do you still want to say that Yongzhou is my, Chen Jinjun's calamity?"
Xu Fanming nodded: "Yongzhou is the disaster of the Dong family, including the Huo family and even Huo Tingyu. They are the disaster of the Dong family."
"I don't know when the escort started to believe in his fate." Chen Jinjun looked at Xu Fanming with clear eyes.
Under Chen Jinjun's upright gaze, Xu Fanming only felt that his statements were like a villain trying to plunder something that did not belong to him.
There was silence between the two for a long time, and Chen Jinjun looked at Xu Fanming silently.
Xu Fanming finally took a step back: "If I had known, I should have run away with my boss outside Yongzhou City."
"Where are you running to?" Chen Jinjun also felt a little sad for a moment, "You also said that this is my fate. I can't escape it. Maybe...it's fate."
"My boss is still making fun of me, aren't we all resigned to our fate?" Xu Fanming played with the string of Buddhist beads he brought out from Wangji Temple.
Chen Jinjun shook his head: "The escort is wrong. I, Chen Jinjun, believe in fate, but I don't accept it."
Xu Fanming paused for a moment while playing with the Buddhist beads. For a brief moment, he looked indifferent again: "What happens to the boss? It's the boss's business. The boss just needs to know that before the reorganization of the Qinghong Society, you and I are still friends.
.”
This statement was so baffling that Chen Jinjun couldn't help but ask: "What about after the Qinghong Association is reorganized?"
Xu Fanming chuckled softly: "At that time, my boss will be my superior."
Chen Jinjun could see Xu Fanming's ambition for the Qinghong Society and even the entire world.
"Didn't I tell the escort chief before?" Chen Jinjun tilted his head, "When the Grand Theater turns out to be what I planned, that's when I send greetings to all the old members of the Green and Red Associations in the world."
Xu Fanming nodded: "My boss knows that Zhang Gui has gone to Chaiyang."
"Oh?" Chen Jinjun was very surprised, "No wonder I can't find him in Yongzhou these days."
"So, if there is really going to be a battle between Yongzhou and Chaiyang, Huo Tingyu can only win, not lose." Xu Fanming looked straight ahead, his knuckles turning white when playing with Buddhist beads.
"Of course Yongzhou cannot lose," Chen Jinjun said categorically, "At least, you and I both have to believe in Huo Tingyu."
"It's enough for my boss to believe in him. As for me, a person in the world, I have nothing to do with these officials and generals. I only believe in myself." Xu Fanming waved his hand.
Chen Jinjun nodded: "The escort is right, but...this Zhang Gui will eventually fall into our hands."
Xu Fanming said matter-of-factly: "The traitors of the Qinghong Society will naturally be dealt with using the Qinghong Society's methods. The methods of outsiders are all rewards for him."
Chen Jinjun turned his head and looked at Xu Fanming: "We haven't seen you for a long time, but the bodyguard's murderous intention is still so strong."
"The same goes for my boss, after all this time, I still take care of the overall situation." Xu Fanming said sarcastically.
Chen Jinjun smiled lightly: "First the country, then the family, and the last one is yourself. It's not that the bodyguard doesn't know that."
"If a fight really breaks out, I will immediately send people into Chaiyang to arrest Zhang Gui."
Xu Fanming did not talk to Chen Jinjun about these topics about his family and country. He was just a tacky man in the world. Important matters about his family and country were matters that their officials and generals should worry about.
Chen Jinjun nodded: "If anything happens, just ask Lu Wen to deliver a letter to me. I may have to go back to Huo's house to stay these days. When the Chai Yang matter is over, we can talk in detail."
Xu Fanming nodded and watched Chen Jinjun go away.
Do you regret it? Do you regret not taking Chen Jinjun away?
He himself couldn't explain clearly. At his age, coveting the twenty-year-old Chen Jinjun was a bit too much, but how could there be any distinction between right and wrong in this kind of thing? It was just a difference of thought.
No matter how it is, Huo Tingyu is the commander-in-chief of Yongzhou after all, which is better than him being an unknown person in the vast rivers and lakes.
The beads passed through his fingers one by one, and the crisp collision sound between the beads and Xu Fanming's relieved chuckle echoed in the room.
Somehow, Chen Jinjun returned to Huo Mansion and came to the backyard by accident, hiding behind a tree and looking at Huo Tingyu.
Now is not the time. The world is in chaos. If someone with intentions takes advantage of it, I don't know how much bloodshed we will have to face.
Chen Jinjun, who has always been calm and self-possessed, was particularly worried when facing his first relationship problem. He even thought twice about the rumors that he had never cared about, for fear of bringing any trouble to Huo Tingyu.
With Huo Tingyu's eyesight, he saw Chen Jinjun standing behind the tree trying to hide his trace early.
He suppressed his desire to find her, closed his eyes to steady his mind, and continued to perform his moves.
After a long time, Chen Jinjun turned around and was about to leave, before Huo Tingyu chased after him.
"Where are you going, Master?"
When Chen Jinjun heard Huo Tingyu's voice, he was not surprised at all. He stopped and turned around to look at Huo Tingyu: "Why, the commander is stopping me when I go back to my yard?"
"The owner's yard?" Huo Tingyu smiled meaningfully, "Isn't that the Huo family's yard over there?"
Chen Jinjun's face darkened: "Yes, it's the Huo family's yard. I'll pick up my things and go back to the Chen family."
As he said that, Chen Jinjun looked like he was about to leave.
Huo Tingyu suddenly changed his expression, felt a little panicked, and quickly grabbed Chen Jinjun's forearm.
His hands were so big that he could hold Chen Jinjun's little arm firmly, like a clamp, preventing Chen Jinjun from moving.
Chen Jinjun pinned his arms hard and tried to break free from Huo Tingyu's hand.
But in terms of strength, ten Chen Jinjun are not as good as one Huo Tingyu. No matter how hard she tries, she can't break free from Huo Tingyu's iron palm.
With no choice, Chen Jinjun could only look at Huo Tingyu angrily.
Huo Tingyu smiled at Chen Jinjun.
How can I put this smile? In Chen Jinjun's eyes, Huo Tingyu looked like a malicious bear.
