Hearing this, Xia Qingyuan shrank back into the quilt like a loach and never came out again.
Seeing this, Shen Yizhou burst into laughter.
He patted the highest part of the quilt and said, "Wait until I come back."
Then he led Xiao Liu out of the house.
Only when she heard the sound of the door closing, Xia Qingyuan got out of the quilt.
In all her previous lives, she has lived more than ten years longer than him, but why does she rarely win every time she fights against him?
She was so annoyed that she got back under the quilt and asked her to sleep for a while. She had been "studying" until the early morning last night.

Xia Qingyuan slept until almost nine o'clock before getting up.
She looked dazed and started to wash up.
Xiao Liu, who was downstairs, heard the noise, ran upstairs, stood outside the door and asked: "Madam, what do you want to eat in the morning? I'll buy it."
Xia Qingyuan remembered that Shen Yizhou asked Xiao Liu to bring her breakfast, and responded: "I want to go out for a walk later and buy some food on the way.
You don't need to worry about me, you can take the opportunity to have a good rest."
Hearing this, Xiao Liu couldn't hold on anymore and said: "Madam, if you need anything, call me again."
After saying that, he went downstairs.
Xia Qingyuan finished cleaning up and was about to go out. When she opened the door, she saw Chu Xingyu who was about to knock on the door.
Astonishment flashed across her face, with a faint smile on her lips: "Is something wrong?"
Chu Xingyu was also stunned.
He quickly put away his emotions and said, "I'll get the documents for Secretary-General Shen."
It was Shen Yizhou who was so happy that he caused trouble in the morning and even missed a document.
For him, who was always strict, this was the most base mistake.
However, Shen Yizhou finished his speech without writing.
If I didn't have to hand over the things next, this matter could have gone by just like this.
Xia Qingyuan responded: "Then come in and take a look."
As he spoke, he turned his body sideways and motioned for him to come in.
Chu Xingyu nodded: "Thank you."
This was the closest he got to her.
As he passed by her, he deliberately held his breath, fearing that he might accidentally reveal his inner emotions.
Even so, the faint fragrance of her body still penetrated his nose, making him feel a little dazed.
After the trance, there was another burst of aches and pains.
But Luo Fu has a husband.
He quickly found the document he wanted to get on Shen Yizhou's desk.
Chu Xingyu packed it in the document bag he brought and put it in his briefcase.
He said to Xia Qingyuan who was standing in the small hall: "Sorry to trouble you, madam, I'll leave first."
Xia Qingyuan nodded: "You're welcome."
Just when Chu Xingyu walked to the door, he stood there.
He didn't look back, just looked down at the scene downstairs.
He said: "Thank you."
Xia Qingyuan understood what he meant by "thank you".
Thank you to her for telling him the truth in the way that least hurt his self-esteem when she was aware of his feelings.
And, in front of Shen Yizhou, he did not mention this matter, which saved him from embarrassment.
Xia Qingyuan twitched her lips: "I want to thank you too."
Thank you for his thoughtfulness, but she couldn't respond to this sentiment.
Hearing this, the emotions that had been blocked in Chu Xingyu's heart seemed to pour out in an instant, and even the uncomfortable emotions were relieved a lot.
He sniffed, held back his sourness, and stepped away.
Xia Qingyuan sighed, shook her head, and went out.

After Chu Xingyu delivered the documents, he silently withdrew.
At the door of the conference room, I happened to meet Xie Ziyi.
Xie Ziyi looked at him with crooked eyebrows: "Come on, old friend, let's go down and have a drink together."
There is a reception hall on the first floor of the provincial hall where you can have conversations.
Chu Xingyu nodded: "Okay."
Then he followed her downstairs.
Both of them ordered a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Xie Ziyi took a small sip and said, "I think the Dahongpao that Uncle Chu brought back last time has the purest taste."
Chu Xingyu also took a sip and said: "The provincial department uses it to entertain staff, so naturally there are some things that cannot be taken out."
If the tea used in any reception hall is of the highest quality, Xie Da's days there are over.
Xie Ziyi patted his head: "Look, I said the wrong thing."
She raised her teacup again: "You should be punished for using tea instead of wine."
Seeing Xie Ziyi's joking expression, Chu Xingyu couldn't help but laugh.
He looked at his watch and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Hearing this, Xie Ziyi pretended to be a little sad: "Xingyu, you said you have only been in Dian City for a long time, and you are so businesslike when talking to me?
Moreover, when I came back this time, I didn’t see you coming to my house to sit there, and my mother was still talking about you.”
When Xie Ziyi said this, Chu Xingyu felt a little embarrassed.
He said: "Aren't I busy?
Even at my house, I just went back to sleep and had no chance to talk to the old man.
Secretary-General Shen will finish the meeting later, and I will arrange other things for him."
After hearing what he said, Xie Ziyi smiled.
She said: "Okay, I will reluctantly forgive you."
She remembered that Chu Xingyu had hurried out and came back just now with a briefcase in his hand. He must have gone to get something for Shen Yizhou.
She said: "When you were picking up things for Secretary-General Shen, did you meet his wife?
I also met her yesterday and thought she was very good-looking."
The fragrance that accidentally entered his nose in the morning seemed to still be in his heart. He nodded subconsciously: "She is very beautiful."
Then he realized that what he said was not appropriate, and he was worried that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings for Xia Qingyuan, so he explained: "What I mean is that from the appearance, objectively speaking, she does look good."
But he didn't notice that the smile on Xia Qingyuan's face was a little forced.
She said: "Really? So you think so highly of her."
In the courtyard, all the boys gathered around her and said she was the prettiest.
When Chu Xingyu heard this, he thought she had misunderstood, and said: "I didn't say anything, how did you hear that I spoke highly of her?
This is an objective fact, and she will not become more beautiful or uglier just because of my personal evaluation."
Xie Zi felt so pitiful when he looked like this, with his pale pink lips pouting.
After a long while, he said: "I was just asking casually, I didn't expect you to defend her so much.
You have to know that Shuyu has suffered a lot in her hands.
If she was really as innocent as she appeared, Shuyu wouldn't have been sent back to the provincial capital."
Listening to Xie Ziyi's words, Chu Xingyu couldn't help but frown.
He wondered in his heart: "Zi Yi, logically speaking, you have only met her once, why are you so hostile to her?"
