Feng Long was dumbfounded!
Jun Xin gave a light humph. âShocked, arenât you? But thereâs actually nothing to be shocked about, donât you think so?â
âThem getting married is something that wouldâve happened sooner or later. Itâs also natural that they would have a child afterwards.â Jun Xinâs tone softened. These words were more directed towards himself than Feng Long.
âA little sooner or a little later, what did it matter?â
âHowever, that bastard had said that he wouldnât die! He said that he would take care of her for a lifetime! How could he die just like that?â
âThat bastard!â
When Feng Long saw Jun Xin like this, she also calmed down and her eyes contained some gentleness as she said, âDonât be angry anymore. We wonât be able to keep the news of Masterâs death secret for much longer. We need to hurry and figure out what to say to those subordinates!â
âWhatâs there to say?â Jun Xin gave a cold humph. âBaili Yuâs gone, but thereâs still Baili Yiling.â
âSheâs still just a little girl, how can she subdue the masses? Moreover, without Masterâs personal acknowledgement, who would believe that Master has this younger sister?â Feng Long replied worriedly.
Baili Yuâs business was extremely extensive and everyone by his side served him loyally. As long as Jun Xin and Feng Long showed their faces, it wouldnât be too hard to deal with them. However, those that werenât devoted to Baili Yu would be more difficult to handle. Due to the fact that Baili Yu was very capable, those people would work submissively most of the time and wouldnât dare to do anything disloyal. However, now that Baili Yu was no longer around, it was hard to guarantee that none of them would attempt something.
In addition, there was the matter of the imperial court. If they found out that Baili Yu was dead, they would definitely scrap all their previous promises and start acting without restraint. The Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce would definitely be the first to be oppressed.
Jun Xin had already thought of these things when Baili Yiling was telling him what had happened. However, he didnât have the presence of mind to worry about those matters with Tang Doudou still unconscious.
Feng Long saw his eyes dim and knew that he was thinking. After all, they had interacted for so many years already, how could she not know what he was thinking?
She glanced at Tang Doudou who was sleeping soundly on the bed, then patted Jun Xinâs shoulder. âJun Xin, if you want her to be able to live peacefully once she wakes up instead of being persecuted by those people, you have to take on this responsibility.â
âWhy me? I can just take her to a distant place and leave in seclusion with her.â Jun Xinâs eyes were calm. Tang Doudou had once said that she really wanted to find a quiet place, open a restaurant, and spend her time cooking and teasing young ladies.
Wasnât that the life that she had always wanted?
Since she wanted it and since Baili Yu couldnât give her that life anymore, heâll give it to her!
The more Jun Xin thought about it, the more his eyes lit up. Feng Long pressed down on his shoulder and said, âJun Xin, donât be so naive!â
âSince sheâs pregnant with Masterâs child, she has no chance of escaping from this. Moreover⦠where in the world is there a place that doesnât count as the Jianghu? You guys wonât be able to escape!â
Jun Xin glanced at her mildly. âSheâs not pregnant.â
âWhat?â
âI was lying.â Jun Xin took Tang Doudouâs hand. This idea had already taken root in his heart. As soon as he finished dealing with the matters of the Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce and handed over everything to Baili Yiling, he would bring Tang Doudou away from here!
Feng Long was speechless. âWhat else have you lied to me about?â
âDonât know.â
âIâm going to visit the Eldest Miss and see what she thinks. You should stay and take good care of her.â Feng Long paused. âIf you really intend to leave, Iâll help you.â
Jun Xin was surprised and he glanced at her. âWhy?â
âWho asked me to like you?â
Jun Xin was frozen for moment before he refuted in an annoyed tone, âWhat nonsense are you spouting this time!?â
Feng Long laughed heartily as she turned around to hide the desolation in her eyes. âIâm just joking. Why do you need to take it so seriously?â
âI donât want to hear a joke like that ever again!â replied Jun Xin fiercely.
Feng Long waved as she walked away. âFine, as you wish.â
When she got to the door, she paused. A slightly hoarse and gentle female voice carried over. âWho asked us to be friends?â
After she said that, she sighed softly and left.
That strange person was getting stranger and stranger!
Jun Xin shook his head and turned his attention back to Tang Doudou. What exactly would be able to stimulate her more than Baili Yu?
