A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei was astonished. What was being said?!

"Oh, Jing Tian, ​​please don't take this seriously! Xiao Ai just likes to joke around and lighten the mood. You can't just borrow a husband like that! Don't you think so?"

Jing Tian seemed quite disappointed after hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

"Huh? You were just kidding! I thought... I could actually borrow it. Oh well, I knew I was overthinking it."

Just then, Jingliang ran out carrying a plate of food.

"Governor Qi, Madam, come, come, look at this Squirrel Fish! Let me tell you, all the knife carvings on this dish were done by my own hand, it's absolutely one of a kind! You two chat for a bit, I'll go cook a few more good dishes for you right now, I'm making sure you eat and drink to your heart's content today!"

After saying that, Jingliang ran back into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei smiled and said.

"Secretary Jing, you're too kind. That's enough! I already feel a little overwhelmed that you cooked for me, and now you've prepared this whole table of dishes. I'm so grateful for your and your family's hospitality."

Jing Liang could no longer hear Qi Tongwei's words because he had already run back to the kitchen.

Qi Tongwei was genuinely surprised. Were these two siblings serious? He had clearly given his sister a hard time from the start, so what was going on? Why were they being so enthusiastic towards him?

Qi Tongwei had initially thought this was some kind of trap, but he was surprised by the unexpected hospitality.

One of them is cooking for himself there, while the other seems to be trying to offer himself up. What's going on?

Qi Tongwei was completely bewildered. Was this some kind of tactic to mislead him?

While Qi Tongwei was still feeling a bit confused, Zhong Xiaoai said something that made him even more confused.

“Jing Tian, ​​we can’t lend Tong Wei, but don’t be too sad. Our family is all about sharing, you know. Remember Zheng Mengyan from before? She lives with us now. And Yang Mi, who worked with you in the entertainment industry, is also a frequent visitor. She moved here a long time ago. If you’re willing, you can just move in too. Our house is big, spacious, and lively!”

After saying this, Zhong Xiaoai smiled and glanced at Qi Tongwei beside her.

Qi Tongwei was speechless for a moment, completely bewildered.

This is only the first time I've met them, and last time I almost ruined Jing Tian's life, how could they possibly agree?

Upon hearing Zhong Xiaoai's words, Jing Tian's eyes widened in surprise.

"Really? Xiao Ai, you're not lying to me again, are you? Oh my god, if you're telling the truth, that would be such a wonderful surprise! I've always envied your family's atmosphere. I wish I could live with you!"

Qi Tongwei's eyes widened suddenly. Governor Qi, who could talk for four or five hours in a meeting without repeating himself, was speechless for a moment.

Previously, Zhong Xiaoai said she would help herself (Wang Nuo Zhao) recruit Jing Tian into her harem. Now it seems that she really did it?

Do you really have to be so true to your word when it comes to your own wife?

Zhong Xiaoai looked at Jing Tian and nodded with a smile.

"Of course you can! If you really want, come back with us tonight. We have plenty of rooms, just pick one you like. We sisters can have a good chat, like before, wouldn't that be great?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei wondered what it meant. Zhong Xiaoai was planning to take Jing Tian and the three of them to spend the night together.

However, Jing Tian didn't notice Qi Tongwei's surprise at the moment; she seemed quite happy.

"Really?! That's great! Xiao Ai, Governor Qi, please wait for me a moment. I'll go pack my luggage now, or I'll be late! Oh my god, just thinking about living with you guys makes me so excited!"

Chapter 538 The Flower of Wealth and Prosperity in the World, Who Wouldn't Want to Pick It?

After saying that, Jing Tian skipped and hopped back to pack his things.

Qi Tongwei was a little embarrassed for a moment, and he turned to look at his wife, Zhong Xiaoai.

"Xiao Ai, what are you up to? Why did you bring Jing Tian home in such a hurry? This has caught me off guard. Think about it, how are we going to smooth things over with Jing Tian's brother, Secretary Jing? Look, Secretary Jing is still busy in the kitchen, happily preparing dishes for us. Won't this make him suspicious? Even if we want Jing Tian to stay, we have to be careful with how we do it, right?"

Zhong Xiaoai pouted, looking completely indifferent.

"Oh dear, Comrade Qi Tongwei, you're just too cautious. Jing Tian has already been granted a pardon and released, and besides, that girl is so beautiful, she's practically a living flower of wealth and beauty. How could you, Governor Qi, possibly resist picking her? What's with all the talk about methods? Look at all the flowers and plants in our greenhouse, which one wasn't brought back on a whim without any regard for methods? Don't worry about this too much, just let it happen naturally and have some fun."

697 After hearing Zhong Xiaoai's words, Qi Tongwei looked helpless. What does "let nature take its course" mean? Just have some fun and that's it?

Before Qi Tongwei could figure out how to cheer himself up, Jing Liang, who had been busy in the kitchen all day and was having a good time, rushed out with a bowl of vegetables.

"Governor Qi, Madam, look, this is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that I just cooked myself! How does it taste? Please taste it and see if you are satisfied. I still have two dishes to serve, so please continue your conversation."

As Jing Liang spoke, he smiled and looked at the spot where Jing Tian had just been sitting, then his expression suddenly turned to surprise.

"Jing Tian, ​​oh no, where's my sister? Where did she go? Wasn't she supposed to be there to properly entertain Governor Qi and his wife? Why is she nowhere to be seen? Honestly!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's lips twitched involuntarily a few times.

"Secretary Jing, you're too kind. Look at all this food, it's so plentiful! This is just a family gathering, there's no need for such a fuss! Your sister, uh, maybe she's going somewhere..."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Jing Liang immediately waved to Qi Tongwei.

"Governor Qi, please don't take it to heart! My younger sister has always been free-spirited and unconventional. She was overjoyed to see you and your wife today and insisted on putting on makeup so she could see you in her best condition. You don't need to wait for her. If you're hungry, just start eating. My dishes will be ready soon! I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

After saying this, Jingliang immediately ran back to the kitchen.

Qi Tongwei looked genuinely embarrassed, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

"Oh, honey, look at Secretary Jing, he's so enthusiastic I'm almost overwhelmed! You know, our father-in-law, Grandpa Zhong, and his Grandpa Jing, are they really that close? Why is he being so overly enthusiastic towards us? I'm really worried. What if his sister suddenly decides she wants to pack her bags and go home with us? Tsk tsk, how awkward would that be! We came here to be polite guests at Secretary Jing's house, but it looks like we're trying to 'kidnap' his sister. It's really awkward, don't you think?"

Zhong Xiaoai looked indifferent and pinched Qi Tongwei's face with her little hand.

"Hey, what are you so afraid of? Men should marry when they're of age, and women should marry when they're of age. It's all just a matter of time. If she really wants to leave the Jing family, that's her own choice. We didn't tie her up with ropes. She's the one who wants to come with us. What are you embarrassed about? Don't overthink it. Let's just let nature take its course and see how things go."

Upon hearing Zhong Xiaoai's words, Qi Tongwei gasped deeply.

Soon after, Jingliang had prepared a table full of dishes.

At this moment, he was looking at Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai with a smile on his face.

"Governor Qi, Madam, look at this table today. Although it's not some rare delicacy or a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, every dish was personally prepared by me, with all my heartfelt intentions! Please don't be offended and enjoy it. And this wine, I specially brought it back from Beijing, a 30-year-old vintage, Moutai! Come, let's raise our glasses and drink to that!"

At this point, Jing Liang turned his head and found that Jing Tian was not on the table. Jing Liang's eyes widened immediately.

"Oh dear, what's going on? Why is Jing Tian still hiding in her room putting on makeup? What time is it? Why isn't she coming out to greet the guests? It's really baffling."

Upon hearing Jing Liang's words, Qi Tongwei glanced somewhat awkwardly at his wife, Zhong Xiaoai, standing to the side.

Zhong Xiaoai, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent, holding her wine glass and preparing to drink it all in one gulp.

At this moment, Jingliang also raised his wine glass and shouted towards the inner room.

"Little sister! What are you doing? Come out now! The food is ready, everyone is waiting for you! We're about to toast Governor Qi and his wife, why are you still hiding inside? Hurry up, come out now!"

Immediately after Jing Liang shouted, Jing Tian's impatient voice came from inside the room.

"Hey bro! You should eat with Governor Qi and Xiao Ai first. I'm busy here, so please stop rushing me, okay? Seriously!"

Upon hearing Jing Tian's words, Jing Liang's face was filled with surprise. Was there something wrong with his younger sister? Before, she was always trying to get him to invite Qi Tongwei and his wife home for dinner, but now that he had invited them back, she was hiding in her room and wouldn't come out.

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei prepared to break the awkward atmosphere, since he knew very well why Jing Tian hadn't come out.

Qi Tongwei raised his wine glass and forced a smile.

"Secretary Jing, you see, let's not keep bothering your sister. We need to give her some private space and time, right? Speaking of which, Secretary Jing, you've just arrived in our Handong Province. Logically, it should be Xiao Ai and I who show you hospitality by treating you to dinner, but instead, you've gone to the trouble of preparing this feast. So, I think we should start by toasting Secretary Jing to welcome you! Welcome to Handong Province! We must cooperate well in the future and work together for the development of Handong Province!"

Chapter 539 is for the purpose of more in-depth exchanges.

Jing Liang was also helpless after hearing Qi Tongwei's words. He could only raise his wine glass with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"Oh dear, Governor Qi, Madam, I'm so sorry. My sister is just like that. Don't let her seemingly indifferent attitude fool you; she has immense respect for you both. Come, Governor Qi, Madam, let me toast you both. Please don't take it personally!"

And so, everyone drank happily, one cup after another, until Jingliang still hadn't seen Jingtian come out.

So, Jingliang looked somewhat impatiently towards the direction of the room.

"Jing Tian! What are you doing? Why aren't you coming out yet? Governor Qi and I have almost finished our meal. How can you be so inconsiderate and rude?! Come out now—don't keep everyone waiting!"

Qi Tongwei was also a little puzzled for a moment, wondering just how much luggage Jing Tian had.

However, Qi Tongwei was more embarrassed. If Jing Liang found out that Jing Tian was going to leave with him, that would be terrible.

Seeing Jingliang's upright and honest, or perhaps a little silly, attitude, I felt a bit at a loss.

"Secretary Jing, you see, let's not bother your sister anymore. Let her go about her business. Xiao Ai and I are already very happy to have the opportunity to sit and chat with you today! To be honest, it's an honor for Handong to have Secretary Jing come to our area. We'll have to rely on you a lot in our future work!"

Just as Qi Tongwei was being polite, a sound like thunder suddenly came from inside the room.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Tian came out dragging three suitcases.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Qi Tongwei's face turned deathly pale, and the slight flush he had just had from drinking vanished without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

When Jingliang saw his younger sister coming out carrying large and small bags, his eyes widened in shock!

"Little sister! What are you up to? Why are you carrying so many bags of luggage? Didn't we agree to have dinner with Governor Qi and his wife? What are you doing? Are you packing to go back to Beijing? Has something happened at home? Did Dad and Grandpa come looking for you, saying there's an emergency? Tell me quickly, I'm so worried!"

Seeing his brother's reaction, Jing Tian couldn't help but pout, and then sat down at the dining table.

"Oh, who said I was going back to Kyoto? There are things going on at home. What do family matters have to do with me? I'm planning for my future, for the next step of my happiness! Don't worry about it, okay?"

After Jing Tian sat down, he didn't stand on ceremony at all and started eating with his chopsticks.

Jingliang, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

"Oh dear, what's this about the next step in life? Even if you have some plans in mind, you can't pack your bags in front of Governor Qi and his wife! How can you be so insensible and ill-mannered?"

After hearing Jing Liang's words, Jing Tian continued eating the dishes on the table while speaking.

"Of course I need to get ready now! Otherwise, once Governor Qi and Xiao Ai leave, my chance for the next step in my happy life will slip away! Don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing."

Upon hearing this, Jing Liang looked at Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai with a surprised expression.

"Oh dear, little sister, how did your next step towards happiness in life end up being related to Governor Qi and his wife? I really don't understand you!"

At this moment, Jing Tian held his chopsticks while looking at Jing Liang very seriously.

"Of course we're related! I'm going to live at Governor Qi and Xiao Ai's house from now on. After this meal, the three of us will leave together! I'm serious, I'm not kidding."

Jing Liang's eyes widened in an instant, his gaze filled with astonishment, to the point of questioning his very existence.

Jing Liang couldn't help but look at Zhong Xiaoai and Qi Tongwei.

"Governor Qi, Madam, what did my sister mean just now? She wants to move into your house? Is that true? I've never heard of such a thing before?"

Qi Tongwei was extremely embarrassed. He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down, thinking about how to explain this to Jing Liang.

Request flowers

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai, who was standing next to Qi Tongwei, said with a smile.

"Secretary Jing, here's the thing. Jing Tian and I have been very close since childhood. We were chatting just now and realized that we sisters have so much to talk about. So, we decided to have Jing Tian stay at our house for a while, so we can get together more often and catch up. Jing Tian used to be so busy, always on TV, but now that she finally has some free time, I thought we sisters could spend more time together, have a good chat, and strengthen our bond. Secretary Jing, you don't mind, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Liang looked at his younger sister, Jing Tian, ​​with a blank expression.
