Chapter 199 - Moving Into The New Resident; Bending The Will
After she had returned home, Cheng Xiao Xiao did not tell all the truth to her family when they asked about her trip. With the exception of how she had recruited the nine fellows, she did not mention about anything else.
Naturally nobody really asked about what she didn’t share. To Mrs. Cheng, who had been worried since the day Cheng Xiao Xiao had left, the most important thing was that her daughter was back.
Of course, she personally told the cooks in the kitchen to her daughter some ginseng soup, she need some nutrients after her trip.
The one how had been waiting at Mount Wanan this entire time had also got the news that Cheng Xiao Xiao was back. He finally returned from the mountains.
Within two hours of returning home, Cheng Xiao Xiao finally met the person who had been waiting at her house for the last two weeks.
Cheng Xiao Xiao learned about Zhu Xiangyu from her father.
A handsome and chivalry young man. Other than his top notch look, he also has an aura of elegance. Not to mention that he was a martial king at his young age, certainly his talent was impressive.
“Miss Cheng, I am so happy to see you. I have been waiting for you, it has been a long wait….”
Zhu Xiangyu was warm toward her from the very beginning, as though they have been best of friends for years. There were no distance or awkwardness of someone one has just met.
Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but raised her brows. She looked at him with surprise and said, “Mr. Zhu must be having fun as a guest at our house. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have stayed for so long, right?”
“AHAHAHAHA….” Laughed Mr. Zhu heartily; making him seem very easy-going and very bohemian. “Miss Cheng certainly knows me very well…”
“You are teasing me, Mr. Zhu,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao, unaffected. “I heard that Mr. Zhu was here to make a delivery. I am curious how much of our ask to Mr. Zhu were you about to fulfill?”
“Ho ho ho. Miss Cheng is so impatient!”
Zhu Xiangyu continued to tease, “I know this is the first time we’ve met, but seeing that we will continue to have a business relationship, I think we should lose the formality. What say I refer to you as Xiao Xiao?”
“Oh, who cares about formality. That’s of no importance. Since Mr. Zhu was here to make a delivery, can you give them to me? I apologize, these items are quite important to me!”
“Oh, that’s no problem at all. After all, delivering these items to Xiao Xiao was the original purpose of my visit!” Mr. Zhu noticed that she didn’t disagree and was secretly happy inside. He immediately changed the way he referred to her.
Cheng Biyuan sitting nearby frowned slightly. But seeing Zhu Xiangyu’s enthusiasm, and looking at his own daughter, he had a seemingly thoughtful look on him.
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not pay attention to these minor details, she asked directly, “Please show me, Mr. Zhu. I’d like to know how much of what I needed do you have.”
“Not a problem at all!”
Zhu Xiangyu handed over to her a ring that he had and said, “Just use your mind’s eyes and you will be able to see, Xiao Xiao.”
“Thanks!” Even though she didn’t have a dimension ring, but she had heard of tools like this. She took the ring from Zhu Xiangyu and immediately used her mind’s eyes and took a look. She saw that the ring has about 10 cubic meters space and it was chalked full of stuff, some more rare than others.
Upon seeing that, her eyes immediately beamed with enthusiasm. Her emotional display was quite reasonable; this was the happiest event since she had arrived home.
“Xiao Xiao, I have more over here….” Seeing her beaming with happiness, which made her face looked prettier and more tender, Zhu Xiangyu’s eyes twinkled.
