After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Chapter 382: Martial Artists Are Not Afraid of the Cold

After worrying for a whole night, the four of them woke up in bed the next day and nothing had happened.

Xu Zheng stretched and muttered, "Damn, I slept so well." She opened her eyes and saw that Pei Xuanxi was not around, but the bed was clearly the same one from last night.

"Oh my god! I didn't leave? That's great, that's great, I won't leave at all, haha!" she said excitedly, and at the same time, her hand outside the curtain paused. Pei Xuanxi heard her words, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then lifted the curtain and sat next to her.

"A Zheng, what did you say just now? What do you mean by leaving or not?" He asked with a smile, observing her calmly.

Xu Zheng didn't expect him to be outside. She laughed dryly and said, "Oh, no, I just had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that someone took me away. I haven't woken up yet and thought I was still in a dream, haha..."

She did dream about several people returning to modern times last night, so she wasn't lying and the expression on her face was quite natural.

Pei Xuanxi looked at her for a long time. Xu Zheng was sweating profusely, but he took her clothes and said, "Oh, so that's why you talked in your sleep last night, Zheng." As he said that, he pulled Xu Zheng up and straightened her underwear.

"What, I was talking in my sleep?" Xu Zheng slapped her lips, praying that she hadn't let anything slip.

Pei Xuanxi smiled at her gently and said, "It's okay, I didn't hear anything. Could it be that A Zheng is hiding something from me?"

"How could that be? Haha." Xu Zheng laughed and put her hands behind her back unconsciously. Pei Xuanxi saw this action.

He knew everything about Xu Zheng. She would habitually put her hands behind her back when she felt guilty or had something to ask for.

Pei Xuanxi's expression remained the same as before, and he said, "That's right. After all, A Zheng is my wife, and I am A Zheng's husband. Naturally, there will be nothing hidden from me."

He held Xu Zheng's shoulders with one hand, pulled her forward, and then went on to tie her belt.

After hearing this, Xu Zheng quickly followed up by saying, "Yes, yes, who are you to me? How could I hide this from you?"

After she finished speaking, Pei Xuanxi had also finished. He put his hands on Xu Zheng's shoulders and looked down at her.

He raised the corners of his mouth and said softly, "Yes, what could Zheng be hiding from me?"

Pei Xuanxi must have known something, right? What should I do? Xu Zheng thought to herself, her eyes wide open, turning left and right, looking at his silver hair draped over his shoulders, then at his slender white neck, but not looking into his eyes.

After a while, Xu Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and swallowed unconsciously.

Pei Xuanxi didn't ask the question in his heart after all. He smiled and held Xu Zheng's hand, saying, "Are you hungry? They are waiting for us."

Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm starving, starving."

She was so thankful for what had just happened that she didn't notice that Pei Xuanxi was holding her hand extra tightly.

As soon as I entered the private room, I heard Meng Yin's laughter. It was obvious that she was happy that she did not leave.

Xu Zheng slipped over and whispered in their ears: "We didn't leave!" Her tone was filled with uncontrollable joy.

Meng Yin nodded and smiled, "That's right, so now just wait to attend my wedding banquet."

After saying that, the four of them started laughing, leaving Yiqing and the others stunned. They were so depressed last night, but why are they so excited this morning?

Inside the carriage, Meng Yin said excitedly: "Nothing happened. It seems we won't leave."

"It's okay, it's okay. Pei Xuanxi almost saw something today and was scared to death." Xu Zheng patted his chest and leaned comfortably on the cushion.

Xia Nian glanced at her and knew that Pei Xuanxi must have seen something, but she didn't ask any further questions.

"Although we didn't leave last night, we may leave later. But now let's just wait for Yinyin's wedding banquet," she said.

Meng Yin said: "Oh, don't talk about leaving. Let's just live our lives well now and stop thinking about that."

The three of them smiled. It was indeed so. There was no point in thinking too much.

Because of the snow, we couldn't rush on the road. Three days later, we finally arrived at Qilin City.

The snow had stopped and the ground was covered with snow. Several people were having a great time in the Soul Devouring Hall.

Meng Yin enjoyed great prestige in the palace because of her experience guarding the palace last time, but she seldom acted like a lady and always spoke with a smile to her subordinates.

The wedding date of the two was set for fifteen days later. Now that the weather had cleared up, the Soul Devouring Hall was busy preparing for the wedding banquet.

Due to Gu family tradition, the wedding banquet was not held in the Soul-Devouring Hall, but in the Dingying Tower.

At night, Meng Yin was sewing a veil for herself. The stove was crackling and the incense burner was emitting a pleasant warm aroma. As it was winter, the furnishings in the house had changed, and there was a warm atmosphere.

Meng Yin sat sideways on the couch, sewing carefully stitch by stitch. The candlelight shone on her face, and her soft profile was reflected on the wall. If someone who didn't know her saw this scene, they would think she was such a quiet and gentle lady.

Gu Ling came back from outside. The temperature in the room was a little high for him, so he took off his coat, walked straight to Meng Yin, and hugged her regardless of anything.

Meng Yin shrank her neck and said with a smile, "You've been outside for so long, why aren't you cold?"

Gu Ling said, "Those who practice martial arts are not afraid of the cold." He looked at what Meng Yin was holding, and was delighted. He sat aside and opened the box, "Ayin, take a look. This is half of the betrothal gift."

Meng Yin put down her veil and picked up the papers with seals inside. After carefully examining them for a while, she was surprised and said, "How come half of the Gu family's assets are in my hands?"

Gu Ling said: "Ayin, you have a talent for business, you can't let it be buried just because you marry me. These are all well taken care of, you don't need to worry too much, it is your guarantee for the future."

He smiled and said, "The other half is in the name of the Soul Devouring Hall, and it's also yours."

Meng Yin looked back and forth at the list in her hand, which also included the one Gu Huai had given her earlier.

She was a little worried and said, "In this way...won't the elders of the Gu family say anything?"

Gu Ling said directly: "They dare not. If you marry me, you will be a lady of the cabinet, with real power."

"Real power?" Meng Yin didn't quite understand. She thought it was just like those ancient novels she read, with the man outside and the woman inside.

Gu Ling said: "You will understand in the future. Ah Yin, do you like it?"

Meng Yin raised her hands and said with a smile: "Of course I like it. I'm a rich woman too, hahaha!"

In real life, she runs a studio and has finally made some progress. After traveling through time, she unexpectedly finds herself in such a position. How is this different from being a CEO?

Meng Yin lifted the blanket and walked back and forth in the room with a smile on her face, her skirt flying up.

Gu Ling tapped the table with one hand, supported his cheek with the other, and looked at her with a smile.

He just liked to see Meng Yin happy.

Meng Yin sat in front of him with a smile, hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him several times.

Gu Ling hugged her and stood up, saying, "Ayin, come with me. I have something to show you."

As he spoke, he took out the cloak and tied it carefully. Meng Yin couldn't wait to pull him out.

The main lights in the hall were turned off, leaving only a few small candle flames. The yard was a little dark, so the two walked outside. Suddenly, a "whoosh" sound came from all directions of the Soul-Devouring Hall.

Before Meng Yin could react, she saw a number of spots of light suddenly burst into the air, illuminating the yard.

This is a cluster of fireworks.

She was stunned for a moment, then excitedly hugged Gu Ling's arm and jumped twice on the spot.

These fireworks were more beautiful than the ones she had seen in real life. They were much more delicate and not the same old patterns.

Lights of various colors, sometimes dark and sometimes bright, were projected onto the faces of the two people.

Meng Yin stood on tiptoe and asked, "Why are we setting off fireworks? Shouldn't we set off lanterns?"

She still remembered that she had to light lanterns to express her wishes three days before the wedding, but now there were still five days until the wedding.

Gu Ling leaned close to her ear and explained, "Set off fireworks for two days, and then set off lanterns for three days."

After saying this, he smiled at Meng Yin. The calculating light that always shone in his dark pupils in the past was gone now, and all that was left was the joy of getting what he wanted.

Meng Yin blinked, held his face with both hands and kissed him. Gu Ling was stunned and hugged her waist to deepen the kiss.
