Chapter 827: Going in opposite directions

~7 min read 1,311 words

"Brother Yi, you didn't do anything to the Thorn Emperor, did you?" Zhong Yu put down her chopsticks, walked to Xu Tian's side, and suddenly frowned, sniffing hard like a small dog. "Wait, this smell on you..."

"Why do I feel it's somewhat familiar..." She racked her brains, recalling carefully, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck. "That's the smell on the Thorn Emperor! Cedar and ice mountain scented perfume!"

"And you say you didn't do anything to her?"

The reason she was so sensitive to this smell was that she smelled this smell on the Thorn Emperor when she went to the Thorn territory for a meeting last time. She liked it very much and later specifically went to the high-end fragrance counter in the mall to look for the same style.

It was a pity that she looked for many brands and didn't find a perfume that was exactly the same as the one on the Thorn Emperor.

That kind of high-mountain flower scent that was unforgettable as soon as you smelled it, she also wanted to possess.

Later, when chatting with a perfumer of a brand, the other party told her that if she tried many brands and couldn't find it, it might be a private custom model, which made her give up.

With her current income, she couldn't afford the high customization fees.

"Just chatting, what else could I do?" Xu Tian raised his eyebrows and retorted.

"Just chatting, it's impossible for you to get her perfume smell on you!" Zhong Yu stared at Xu Tian with a serious expression. "Brother Yi, tell the truth, did you two... for the sake of detoxification..."

"No, we just chatted." Xu Tian replied.

"Really?" Zhong Yu clearly had an "I don't believe it" look.

"Brother Yi, then was your poison cured?" Zhong Ling asked.

Xu Tian's mouth twitched. Why did these two girls think he could have something with the Thorn Emperor?

Was he such a beast?

Furthermore, with the Thorn Emperor's personality, how could she share a room with him for the sake of detoxification?

"No, it was just chatting; don't think wildly." Xu Tian said. "I chatted with her for more than half an hour; it's normal to have her perfume smell on my clothes."

Actually, Xu Tian also noticed this perfume smell. The perfume smell on the Thorn Emperor was somewhat similar to the perfume Tang Bingyan used before, but it could be clearly distinguished by smell. wap.

Therefore, he couldn't use this as evidence to judge that the Thorn Emperor was Tang Bingyan

And even if they used the same perfume, as long as the other party quibbled that it was a coincidence of similar preferences, Xu Tian would have no way.

"Hmm, I believe you." Zhong Ling stood up and put away the finished spicy hot pot meal box.

"Hey... you believe it just like that?" Zhong Yu had a look of hating that iron wouldn't become steel. "Isn't it too naive?"

"If you don't eat it, I'll pour it out." Zhong Ling reached out to take the meal box opposite Zhong Yu.

"Wait! I haven't finished eating yet; don't move!" Zhong Yu was attracted by the spicy hot pot, and naturally, she had no time to pursue what Xu Tian had done with the Thorn Emperor tonight.

"Awoo..." Qing Xue poked a big head out from the rest room in the office. After seeing Xu Tian, it immediately pounced on his leg and rubbed against it.

"Why is Qing Xue here?" Xu Tian bent down and rubbed Qing Xue's smooth fur, suddenly pausing, and felt a not-so-small scar on the back of the snow lion's neck.

"It, it had a fight with Shen Long, so I separated them." When Zhong Yu and Zhong Ling returned at night, the two giant beasts were fighting fiercely.

"Find a veterinarian tomorrow to check them." Xu Tian smoothed Qing Xue's fur and ordered casually.

He looked down at the snow lion crawling beside him, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

This snow lion recognized its master; could he take Qing Xue to see the Thorn Emperor?

If that Thorn Emperor was really Tang Bingyan, Qing Xue would definitely be able to distinguish it through smell.

Early the next morning, Xu Tian was woken up by Yun Shuying's phone call.

"Boss Xu, do you have time today? If you have time, come back to the Yun family with me."

"Okay." Xu Tian woke up quite a bit instantly. "Where should I wait for you?"

"It's the tea house where we met last time." Yun Shuying said, and hung up the phone.

That tea house was found casually by Xu Tian when he first made an appointment with Yun Shuying. It was not far from the city center, and now it had become their fixed place for meeting.

He climbed out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then called Zhong Ling to ask her to prepare some visiting gifts for him.

For Madam Yun and the head of the Yun family, it was some high-end supplements and tea leaves; for Yun Moting, it was toys that children liked.

After the gifts were prepared, Xu Tian set off for the tea house.

Yun

Shuying was stunned when she saw Xu Tian carrying a lot of gift bags.

"Boss Xu, you are too polite. It's just going to my house to sit for a while; there's no need to buy so many gifts." Yun Shuying looked Xu Tian up and down, clicking her tongue in wonder. "With this outfit of yours, plus the gifts you brought, some would believe it if you said you were going to propose!"

"It's my first time going to your house; I can't go empty-handed." Ordinary people would bring some fruit when visiting, not to mention he was going to the Yun family, one of the Three Great Families on Wuji Island.

Especially since Madam Yun had opinions about him, if he went empty-handed, it would inevitably cause trouble.

"Let me see what you bought..." Yun Shuying lowered her head and looked at each bag, picking up a gift bag printed with cartoon patterns.

"This is a toy for Mo Mo." Xu Tian said.

"Then what about these bird's nests?" Yun Shuying became interested in another bag. "This is a beauty supplement for Madam Yun."

"Oh." Yun Shuying continued to rummage. "Tea leaves... ginseng... children's vitamin C tablets... why isn't there one for me?"

Xu Tian:...

He really didn't prepare a gift for Yun Shuying.

Mainly because this woman was usually too unreliable and was a complete miser, so he really couldn't think of what to send her, so he simply didn't let Zhong Ling prepare it and directly packed a red envelope.

"There is one for you." Xu Tian took an envelope out of his suit pocket.

"For me?" Yun Shuying's eyes lit up when she saw the red envelope, and she immediately lost interest in the gift bags Xu Tian brought.

For her, money was probably the best gift.

Xu Tian didn't know what Yun Shuying had experienced to value money so much. A normal daughter of such a big family would never worry about money.

But Yun Shuying was not. For her, even a cent would be haggled over.

And she happened to have a noble face of a rich family, with an outstanding temperament. The innate nobility made her personality as a miser go in opposite directions, having a kind of almost distorted disharmony.

Perhaps for a period of time, the relationship between Yun Shuying and the Yun family was really stiff, and she also made a poisonous oath not to use the money given by the family, otherwise her style of doing things wouldn't be what it was now. ===== CHAPTER 828 =====
