Xia Xinuo scratched his head uneasyly, "Brother Jiu, that... I said that just now because I am too weak now and can't suppress them with my weight. I'm just pretending to be powerful, but don't worry, I will try my best to make myself stronger, and then I will be able to truly protect you."

Li Xiao looked at her and smiled.

Xia Xinuo was a little embarrassed by his smile, "Don't laugh at me anymore. I know you don't need my protection at all, but I really want to do something for you."

Li Xiao smiled and hugged her in his arms, "Who said I don't need your protection? I really need it, okay?"

"Really?" Xia Xinuo looked up at him, but unfortunately the height difference was a bit large, and the two of them were too close to each other, so she could only see his green chin.

Li Xiao nodded with a smile, "Nuobao, remember what I said today. One day, you will be strong. Those who want to hurt will be frightened whenever they hear your name. When that day, I will be the little man behind you, and you will be the one who protects me."

Xia Xinuo pressed his head against his chest and said in a muffled voice: "Although that day is so far away or it will not come true at all, I am still looking forward to it."

"It will definitely come true!" Li Xiao stroked her hair gently and said in a deep voice: "But before you are strong, I will protect you. If you don't have to stand up for something like today, I will handle it."

Xia Xinuo's body was slightly stiff, "Brother Jiu, did I ruin your business?"

"No, don't be so sensitive. No matter what you do, it's right. I just don't want you to be too troublesome. Your main task now is to learn and then arm yourself with knowledge. Only in this way can you become the most awesome business tycoon in Jiangcheng, Kyoto and even the entire China in the future."

"Same as you?"

"It's not possible like me. If you want to protect me, you have to surpass me!"

Xia Xinuo shook his head helplessly, "Then forget it, even if I spend my life, I will never surpass you."

Li Xiao gently curled her jaw, looked at her eyes, and asked softly: "Nuobao, I can understand what you said just now, are you going to make a contract with me for the next life?"

Xia Xinuo avoided his too gentle gaze, "No! I haven't promised you in my life!"

Li Xiao leaned over and whispered in her ear: "I'm not in a hurry, I will give you time to wait for you to come back from Jiangcheng."

His warm breath was sprayed on her ears, making Xia Xinuo shrink his neck involuntarily.

Li Xiao gently curled the corner of his lower lip, "I was shocked by Xia Baolian just now. Is it okay to sleep by myself?"

Xia Xinuo was slightly stunned, then nodded wildly, "No problem!"

Oh my god, if she said there was a problem, he wouldn't stay with her, fortunately she had a quick reaction.

Li Xiao smiled and rubbed her head, "Then you go to the company early, and help me get out of the day after tomorrow."

Xia Xinuo nodded guiltily. In order to accompany him back to Jiangcheng, he had to be busy all day tomorrow. Today, when Xia Baolian made such a fuss, he probably had to go to bed late. After all, she was the one who dragged him down.

Li Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at her. Seeing that she was thinking about it again, he smiled and pinched her cheek, "Good night."

"Late, good night."

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and turned around and went out.

The moment the door closed, Xia Xinuo couldn't tell that he was in his mood. He leaned on the door panel and emptied it for a long time before going to the bathroom.

The next day, Xia Xinuo got up early in the morning. Uncle Hu was not at home. She wanted to make a delicious breakfast for Li Xiao. But she was still a step late. When she entered the kitchen, Li Xiao had already prepared the breakfast and put it on the dining table. The fragrant Yangzhou fried rice and the delicious side dishes of the four butterflies.

Xia Xinuo looked at Li Xiao who was looking at his phone with a little embarrassed, "Brother Jiu, morning."

"Good morning!" Li Xiao put down his cell phone and looked over, "Why did you get up so early? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"No matter how early you get up, it's not as early as you. I still want to get up early to make breakfast for you, but you've prepared it all."

"If Uncle Hu is not at home in the future, I will be responsible for making three meals a day for us." Li Xiao pointed to the seat beside him, "Come and sit down."

Seeing that the tableware was placed on the table on his side, Xia Xinuo sat down next to him with his mouth pouting.

"What's wrong? He looked unhappy?" Li Xiao smiled and touched her head.

"You always treat me as a child, and you don't even feel at ease about cooking."

"When you officially agree to be my girlfriend, I won't treat you as a child."

Xia Xinuo had a red face and turned off the beginning. He mentioned this early in the morning, which was so embarrassing.

"Eat." Li Xiao smiled and picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her.

Xia Xinuo took the chopsticks and ate the fried rice. It still tasted like his father, but this time there was another flavor than last time. This taste belonged to Li Xiao, and it was sweet and had a hint of happiness.

Xia Xinuo turned his head and peeked at Li Xiao. Why did he even look so good even when he had a meal! Xia Xinuo sighed inwardly, although everyone said that he was the devil king in the world, even if he was the devil king, he was also an elegant devil king.

"Is there anything to say?" Li Xiao looked at her gaze.

Xia Xinuo hurriedly looked away, "That... I just wanted to ask Xia Baolian what she asked?"

"Um."

Why did you give her a word?

Li Xiao stretched out his big palm and touched her head, "Eat first, don't let that kind of garbage lose her appetite."

"Oh." Xia Xinuo responded muffled, speeding up the meal.

"Eat slowly, no one will grab it with you."

Xia Xinuo pouted. He didn't want to listen to him, but seeing that he kept staring at him, he had to slow down.

After the two had breakfast, Xia Xinuo wanted to wash the dishes, but Li Xiao took the lead and picked up the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Xia Xinuo chased after him, "Brother Jiu, you cooked the rice, so let me wash the dishes."

"Just two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, I'll do it." Li Xiao said and turned on the faucet.

The man doing housework is indeed the most attractive! Xia Xinuo leaned against the door panel and looked at him blankly. This man was perfect at 360 degrees without blind spots, but just such a perfect man, why did he fall in love with her troublesome spirit?

Li Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked at her, and Xia Xinuo retreated his gaze awkwardly.

Li Xiao gently curled the corner of his lower lip, "Xia Baolian woke up at one o'clock in the morning, but her explanation was useless. I was afraid that it would affect your mood, so I didn't say this at the dinner table."

Xia Xinuo asked with his eyes down, "What did she say?"

"She said she received a call, which was the person who told her that you lived here, and the car was also provided to her by that person. Then Li De went to check the phone number, and there was really this phone number, but it was not purchased with real name, and only made one call."

Xia Xinuo frowned slightly, "In other words, this time it wasn't her who took the initiative to make trouble, but someone urged her behind the scenes?"

"Well, that person told her that it was you who asked me to find the Xia family to acquire by Wang."

Xia Xinuo lowered his head and clenched his finger, "Although the news he gave to Xia Baolian is not very accurate, it is also close to the truth. Who knows about your cooperation with Wang?"

"Everyone in the entire business district knows about cooperation with Wang. After all, everyone is watching such a big project. Out of jealousy, they may tell Xia Baolian what they speculated as facts."

"Then the scope is too big... However, Xia Baolian's fuss is not without gains. At least it can help you eliminate the suspicion of knowing that the people who actually acquired Xia's family were actually you."

Li Xiao wiped his hands and walked over, "The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the people around me are not insiders, and it is hard to say anything else."

Xia Xinuo pouted, "When I come back from Congjiangcheng, I will help you find out who this ghost is."

"If you have that energy, you might as well study hard. I will deal with this matter." Li Xiao naturally put his shoulder on her and took the person out of the kitchen.

Xia Xinuo glanced at the big hand on her shoulder with her eyes and shoulders. I don’t know why this time she was not shy, but she also had a trace of sweetness.

Li Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the expression on her face, and raised his lips and said, "There is still some time left. Should I take a break or go to the company with me now?"

"Hmm? Oh, I'll listen to you."

Li Xiao smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Isn't it good? Everyone knows that the husband and wife are with you."

Xia Xinuo glanced at him quickly, flew out of his arms slightly, "I'll get my bag."

...

When the two arrived at the company, Xia Xinuo had just finished reading a document for Li Xiao, Li Yinghan knocked on the door and walked in.

"Lao Jiu, you drank so much yesterday, don't your stomach hurt?" Li Yinghan cared about her younger brother, but glanced at Xia Xinuo's eyes. She wanted to see something on Xia Xinuo's face.

Xia Xinuo touched her face uneasy, "Fifth Sister, is there anything on my face?"

Li Xiao looked up at her, "Director Li's gossip time is up. You can chat with her for a while, otherwise she won't be able to work well this day."

Xia Xinuo was silent.

Li Yinghan smiled and pulled her hand, "Let's go out and chat, don't disturb Mr. Li's work."

"Don't go too far, go to the small conference room to chat." Li Xiao raised his hand and pressed the handset of the landline, "Zhou Fang, send two cups of hot milk to the small conference room."

Li Yinghan smiled and looked at his younger brother, took Xia Xinuo's hand and went out.

Li Xiao looked at the documents in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

"Xinuo, Lao Jiu came home last night and didn't do you?" Before he could enter the conference room, Li Yinghan couldn't help but start to stumble on Xia Xinuo's words.

Xia Xinuo pouted, "I didn't do it because he had no time to do it. As soon as we got home last night, Xia Baolian drove and broke the door. Brother Jiu sobered up at that time."

Li Yinghan's eyebrows instantly twisted into caterpillars, "What did you say? Xia Baolian ran to Lao Jiu's place to make a fuss? Why didn't I know at all!"

"It seems that no one told me that he might be afraid of disturbing you." Xia Xinuo sighed in a low voice, "Fifth Sister, why do I think I am just a troublemaker? I always make trouble for Brother Jiu."
