Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 50 Weak, pitiful and helpless
In the end, Ximen Lang still failed to get Bai Ling to agree to move the slit of the cheongsam up a little bit.

Instead, it remains in its original state, and is only opened to the calf position in a way that is more in line with the trends of this era.

"Only up to the calf? What's the point?"

Originally, seeing that the slit of the cheongsam only reached the calf, Ximen Lang lost interest.

But when he saw Bai Ling really put on the cheongsam and walked out of Chen Xueru's bedroom with a bright smile,
Ximen Lang suddenly felt that this matter seemed interesting again.

Especially the contrast between before and after, which Ximen Lang had always wanted to see with his own eyes.
"It's actually true! It turns out the cheongsam can't hide her stature! Before, it was only those tacky clothes that hid her charm!"

It's no exaggeration to say that because the difference between before and after was so huge, Ximen Lang was a little shocked by Bai Ling's outfit.
Bai Ling, feeling uncomfortable all over because of Ximen Lang's direct gaze, returned to Chen Xueru's bedroom with embarrassment written all over her face.

Chen Xueru also came to Ximen Lang's side, stretched out her palm and shook it in front of him twice, and said something teasingly.

"Still looking? If you keep looking, your soul will be gone."

Ximen Lang finally came to his senses and explained to Chen Xueru like a gentleman.

"You know, I don't have any other advantages except that I have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty. When I see beautiful things, I can't help but look at them a few more times. So..."

He was so stupid as to do all these in front of the veteran Chen Xueru. This was obviously like showing off one's skills in front of an expert and waving a sword in front of Guan Gong.

So, as soon as Ximen Lang finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Chen Xueru who was laughing so hard that she fell backwards.

"I understand, I understand. Brother Lang, you don't have to explain it to me so clearly. I understand everything you just said."

He clearly agreed with it, but the words still made him feel awkward no matter how he listened to them. Ximen Lang's face turned red in an instant, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out again.

So, when Bai Ling walked out of the house with a red face, she saw this scene.

Ximen Lang looked like a little boy who was about to be taken advantage of. He was weak and helpless, like a punching bag, huddled in the corner with a red face.

On the other hand, Chen Xueru looks like a female devil who is about to succeed. She surrounds Ximen Lang and "violates" him in restricted scenes.

Is this okay? !
I wasn't paying attention for just a moment, and Ximen Lang was teased by her like this.

If I hadn't been there, wouldn't Ximen Lang have been bullied to death by her?!
"Chen Xueru, you were so nice to me just now! But I just wasn't paying attention for a moment, and you're playing this trick on me, right?!"

Even the blush on her face due to shyness quickly turned into a face full of anger because of the anger of having her home stolen.

Then, it was different from Ximen Lang's case. Even if Bai Ling really got mad, she would just be beaten up at most.

This time, Chen Xueru felt the threat of death directly.

Seeing that Bai Ling had obviously misunderstood, Chen Xueru could no longer laugh.

He took several steps back and left Ximen Lang's side.

Then he hurriedly explained to Bai Ling.

"Director Bai, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't bully Brother Lang. You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"

Originally, because he couldn't resist Bai Ling's charm, not only did he embarrass his male compatriots, but he was also discovered by others. This was enough to make Ximen Lang feel upset.

Now, Chen Xueru said something ambiguous again.

Ximen Lang, whose face turned red with embarrassment, could no longer bear it.

She started to complain, feeling rather embarrassed and angry. "Are you kidding me?! I'm Brother Lang, and if I need to bully someone, I'll be the one to bully you. How dare you bully me? Bai Ling, don't listen to her nonsense. I was the one who bullied her just now!"

Whether Bai Ling believed it or not is not the point for now.

Anyway, Chen Xueru was scared to death.

Fearing that this matter would make matters worse by explaining it, and that Bai Ling, the county magistrate who was responsible for destroying families or even the prefectural governor who was responsible for exterminating entire families, would bear a grudge against her, Chen Xueru quickly explained to Bai Ling in detail why Brother Lang had become like that.

Ximen Lang's past was exposed directly. Now, not only Ximen Lang was embarrassed, but even Bai Ling felt that something was wrong.

But no matter what, the psychological qualities of people who make a living in the intelligence field are there.

So, Bai Ling quickly adjusted her mentality as if nothing had happened.

Looking at Ximen Lang, who was so scared after this little episode that he didn't dare to look at him straight in the eye, let alone face him.

I glared at him with a helpless look and replied.

"What are you looking at with such a shifty look? If you want to look, look openly. Don't keep looking at people with the sidelong glances!"

Then, in Chen Xueru's eyes, she was becoming more and more like Mrs. Ximen, so she directly talked to Chen Xueru about the second thing about their trip.

That is the banquet that will be held tomorrow.

This really made Chen Xueru, who had always wanted to have a good relationship with Ximen Lang, very happy.

He immediately patted his chest and said
"Don't worry, even if something big happens tomorrow, I'll let it all go. I won't even eat tonight, I'm just waiting to drink in your wedding wine!"

As he said that, he began to search in his bedroom.

No matter what, I must send them a decent wedding gift.

Until Bai Ling pointed out angrily
"What wedding banquet? It's just Ximen Lang wasted his money and wanted to waste some, nothing else!"

And Ximen Lang repeatedly emphasized.
"Just go there, don't bring anything with you, or you'll look down on me!"

Only then did Chen Xueru regretfully give up the idea of ​​giving a valuable gift.

Due to time constraints, Chen Xueru was asked to help notify Xu Huizhen from the tavern, Pian Ye who performed shadow puppet shows, and Niu Ye who sold furniture.

And got Chen Xueru's assurance.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you two about this!"

Without staying long, Ximen Lang and Bai Ling each carried a few packed pieces of clothing, got on their bicycles, and rushed to Director Wang's house.

And the timing was just right. Ximen Lang and Bai Ling had just put their things back home and rushed to Director Wang's house with a basket of fruits.

Director Wang, who had been arguing with someone in the Special Operations Detachment for a whole day about who should be sent to protect Ximen Lang, just returned home rubbing his aching head.

I saw that Bai Ling and Ximen Lang had come home together.

He quickly put on a smile and welcomed the two of them into his home.

After confirming that everything was normal today and nothing strange had happened, the few of them quickly discussed their purpose.
