Half an hour later.
The convoy slowly drove into the Liu Family Manor.
Liu Chongshan, who had already received the news, was already waiting in front of the main building with Liu Hongyi and Shen Miaoyin.
As soon as the vehicle stopped, several servants quickly stepped forward and respectfully opened the door.
Liu Ruyan got out of the vehicle first.
She adjusted her professional skirt a little, and all the strangeness on her face completely disappeared the moment she left the carriage.
She has transformed back into the cool and calm Queen Liu Family that no one dares to look directly at.
Dugu Linglong follows closely behind.
The last one is Jiang Che.
When Liu Chongshan saw Dugu Linglong returning safely, a clear smile suddenly appeared on his old face.
"Zhiheng."
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but I still miss you in my heart."
"Now that the real person is willing to return to the Liu Family, it really makes this humble house shine!"
Dugu Linglong nodded gently.
"Mr. Liu, you're welcome."
"I am returning to Imperial Capital this time, and I will use the power of the Liu Family to investigate some things."
"I'm afraid I'm going to continue to bother you for a while."
"It is Liu Family's honor that a real person is willing to stay here."
Liu Chongshan smiled heartily and agreed wholeheartedly.
"Don't say it's just a stay for a while."
"As long as the real person is willing, there is no harm in treating this place as his own home!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Chongshan turned his attention to Jiang Che.
"Young Master Jiang accompanied the real person back to Mount Zhongnan in the past few days, and helped Liu Family solve such a big trouble."
"Liu Family will also keep this kindness in mind."
"Old Master is serious."
Jiang Che smiled warmly and said, "Ruyan and I are friends."
"Of course I won't stand by and watch what happens with the Liu Family."
I heard the title "Ruyan" which is obviously a lot more familiar.
The expressions of several people present suddenly changed to varying degrees.
Liu Hongyi raised his eyebrows lightly.
His eyes subconsciously glanced back and forth between his daughter and Jiang Che.
Shen Miaoyin seems to have discovered something interesting.
An unconcealable smile quickly appeared in those beautiful, well-maintained eyes.
As for Liu Ruyan himself.
The expression on her face was still cold and calm.
But in those cold and beautiful eyes, a layer of light rippled quietly.
Jiang Che This bastard...
One mouthful of Miss Liu in the car.
In front of her family, she knew to call her Ruyan!
"Young Master Jiang, I have written it down."
Liu Ruyan's red lips were slightly curved and she answered the question.
"If anything happens to the Liu Family from now on, I will go directly to you."
"When the time comes, Young Master Jiang don't think it's troublesome for me~"
"Ruyan spoke in person."
Jiang Che met her eyes, his smile still warm.
"No matter what happens, I will try my best."
Dugu Linglong on the side listened quietly to the conversation between the two.
The strange emotions that had just dissipated in the car quietly resurfaced at this moment.
She suddenly felt that her return to the Liu Family might not be as peaceful as she imagined...
It's approaching noon.
Liu Family In the restaurant of the main building, the luncheon has been prepared.
Liu Chongshan obviously attaches great importance to Dugu Linglong's return to Imperial Capital.
The dishes placed on the long table are not extravagant, but mostly use common ingredients in the Mount Zhongnan area, and the taste is kept as light as possible.
Dugu Linglong saw a hint of surprise in his clear eyes when he saw the food on the table.
"Mr. Liu is interested."
"As long as the real person likes it."
Liu Chongshan smiles gently.
"Liu Family and Celestial Master Sect have known each other for many years. When real people come here, there is no need for any restraint."
"If there is anything missing, just tell Ruyan."
Dugu Linglong nodded gently.
Several people took their seats one after another.
Liu Chongshan is sitting in the main seat, Liu Hongyi and Shen Miaoyin are sitting opposite.
The position of Jiang Che is arranged between Dugu Linglong and Liu Ruyan.
Saw this seat.
The expression on Liu Hongyi's face obviously became a little weird.
He originally thought that his Old Master would arrange Jiang Che next to him.
After all, regardless of identity or seniority, Jiang Che is the most important guest today besides Dugu Linglong.
But Liu Chongshan didn't seem to consider this at all.
Directly let Jiang Che sit between the two women.
What's even stranger is...
Liu Ruyan raised no objection.
Dugu Linglong also showed no repulsion.
As for Jiang Che himself.
He sat down with a natural expression, as if this position should belong to him.
Liu Hongyi picked up the tea cup and took a silent sip.
He always felt that he seemed to have missed many important things...
After the luncheon begins.
Liu Chongshan was not in a hurry to ask about the details of what happened on Mount Zhongnan. He just chatted casually with Jiang Che and occasionally asked about the repair situation of Formation.
The atmosphere at the table was quite relaxed.
Dugu Linglong rarely eats on weekdays.
Even when I came to the Liu Family, I just took a few bites of the light dishes in front of me.
Jiang Che turned her face sideways and glanced at the almost untouched rice in her bowl.
"The food is not to your liking?"
Dugu Linglong shook his head slightly.
"No."
"I just don't eat much on weekdays."
"That's not what you said at Mount Zhongnan."
Hearing Jiang Che's words, Dugu Linglong's movements paused slightly.
These days in the mountains, she would finish the meals prepared by Jiang Che every day, and a few times she even took the initiative to refill half a bowl. Jiang Che used this to tease her a lot at the time.
Now that it was brought up again, Dugu Linglong naturally knew that this man was deliberately exposing himself again.
She raised her eyes and gave Jiang Che a cold look.
"Formation was not repaired today."
"True Qi doesn't consume much."
This reason sounds very reasonable.
But Liu Ruyan keenly captured the hidden information.
"So..."
She put down the chopsticks in her hands and looked at Jiang Che with a half-smile.
"When the real person is in Mount Zhongnan, Young Master Jiang is responsible for preparing the meals?"
"It's not about being responsible."
Jiang Che looks calm.
"It's just that the ingredients in the mountains are simple, and I happen to be able to cook some."
Liu Ruyan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Young Master Jiang will also cook by himself?"
She has not known Jiang Che for a long time.
But I have seen so many unknown sides of this man.
Jiang Che's strength is unfathomable, his status is noble, and his thoughts are far more complicated than they appear on the surface.
But no matter what, Liu Ruyan is hard to imagine.
Such a man would actually roll up his sleeves and prepare meals himself in the mountain kitchen.
And it lasted for several days...
Jiang Che hasn't answered yet. Dugu Linglong on the side seems to have suddenly remembered something.
A faint smile quietly appeared in those eyes that were always clear and indifferent.
"The food cooked by Jiang Che tastes very good."
"At least, it's much better than the porridge I cook."
Such a natural compliment caused a subtle change in the atmosphere at the dinner table.
Liu Hongyi was picking up vegetables and stopped in mid-air.
Shen Miaoyin looked at his daughter with interest.
Of course she knows how proud Ruyan has been over the years.
Those aristocratic families Young Master who want to get close to her deliberately, let alone sit with her for dinner, even if they carefully prepare valuable gifts, it is difficult to get her to pay attention.
But now...
