"Brother Xu, please turn off the lights. This is so embarrassing... so embarrassing." Chu An'an's voice came out, with a trembling feeling in her voice, "Please turn off the lights. Sister Yuqing taught me. I can move by myself."
"Brother Xu, I've thought it through. I can do it. I volunteer."
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Lang to turn off the lights, Chu Anan quickly stretched out her little hand.
Then the quilt was lifted up by Chu An'an, and Xu Lang also felt the warmth coming...
"Sigh~"
Chapter 39: Xu Lang's First Voluntary Surrender
Afterwards, Chu Anan saw that Xu Lang did not stop her, thought for a moment, and lowered her head again.
Ten minutes later, Xu Lang pushed away Gu Yuqing, who was still lying on him, lifted the quilt, and pulled Chu Anan up.
What made him laugh and cry was that Chu Anan was pulled up, but she didn't dare to look at him.
At this time, Xu Lang also noticed Chu Anan's clothes. Putting things together, he knew that this must be Gu Yuqing's attention.
"An An, don't you regret this?" Xu Lang said, trying his best to make his voice sound gentle.
"Brother Xu, was An An too stupid just now? Did it make Brother Xu uncomfortable?" Chu An An lowered his head and said softly, "I am very smart. I will definitely make Brother Xu comfortable in the future. Brother Xu, don't chase me away."
Xu Lang knew that Chu An'an had misunderstood, and immediately said, "An'an, you are a good girl. You have never forgotten to be positive and kind even in adversity. You don't have to be like this."
It was not known whether it was Xu Lang's words that gave Chu Anan the courage, or whether it was Liang Jingru who gave her the courage. Chu Anan raised her head, stared at Xu Lang and said, "Brother Xu, I really volunteered."
"What Sister Yuqing said makes sense. You are very good, and may be the best man I have ever met in my life. I have nothing to give you in return, and I really like you. I know I am not worthy of you, but I don't want a formal status. I just want to have happy memories with Brother Xu."
After hearing Chu Anan's words, Xu Lang rubbed his head in pain. It was still the easy relationship in his previous life where I paid and you served me. It was obvious that this girl was really attracted to him.
Thinking that he had an appointment with Ye Lan tomorrow morning, and also wanted to give Chu Anan some more time, he said:
"An'an, go back with your sister Yuqing first, and think about it. With your conditions, once you get rid of your original family, you will definitely meet a man who truly loves you. Your brother Xu will not be a good candidate for a husband."
"If you still like me later, call me again. I'll ask Gu Yuqing to choose a house in the community tomorrow and you can move in."
Without giving Chu An'an a chance to speak, Xu Lang turned to Gu Yuqing and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't teach An'an these nonsense anymore, and don't seduce her anymore. Otherwise, come to me next time with the whip you bought."
After hearing what Xu Lang said, Gu Yuqing pouted in grievance.
"Brother Xu, there is no need to buy a house separately. I want to live with Sister Yuqing, is that ok? And..."
Hearing that Chu Anan was about to continue speaking, Xu Lang felt the fatigue coming from his evil dragon. He wondered if he could still be so proud again after spending the night with these two beauties who took the initiative to throw themselves into his arms. He immediately interrupted Chu Anan's next words.
"Since you want to live with Gu Yuqing, then live together first. It seems that you really trust her."
"Go to the bathroom and wash..."
Before Xu Lang finished his second sentence, Gu Yuqing spoke first, "Master~ You haven't looked for me for several days, I think~"
Chapter 40: The Instrument of National Destiny
After hearing this, Xu Lang was so scared that he quickly pulled the two of them up and walked to the bathroom. "Wash up first, and then go back and have a good rest. Your master has an appointment tomorrow morning."
After much persuasion, the two girls who wanted to stay were finally persuaded. Xu Lang put on his clothes and prepared to send them back. After arriving at Gu Yuqing's room, he saw the bed full of sexy clothes. His evil dragon gave him feedback that he could do it, but was still suppressed by Xu Lang.
After all, I really have something to do tomorrow morning!
Under the expectant eyes of the two women, Xu Lang ran away. This was the first time that Xu Lang surrendered after crossing over, letting go of the fat meat in his mouth, and two pieces at that.
I returned to my home, without washing up, and fell on the bed, but I couldn't fall asleep.
When he closed his eyes, the image of Gu Yuqing and Chu Anan just now appeared in his mind. Xu Lang forced himself not to think about it. He was really worried that he would return to Gu Yuqing's house.
I don’t know how long it took before Xu Lang finally fell asleep.
The next morning, Xu Lang was awakened by a ringing phone.
I picked up the phone and saw that it was Ye Lan.
Xu Lang really didn't understand why Ye Lan took it so seriously when it was just a piece of jade.
"Hello? Xu Lang! I hope I didn't disturb you so early!" Ye Lan's voice was still as cold as ever.
"No, I just woke up. Is Miss Ye here?"
"Well, I just arrived. I was afraid that you, Xu Lang, had forgotten, so I called you."
"Is that so? Wait for me for a moment, I'll be there soon."
Xu Lang raised his eyebrows. He knew that Ye Lan liked the jade dragon very much, but he didn't expect that she attached so much importance to it.
Following Ye Lanfa's location, Xu Lang drove to a magnificent building.
Soon a waiter came forward, took Xu Lang's car keys, and helped him park the car.
When Xu Lang walked in, the first thing that caught his eye was two rows of waitresses wearing uniform turquoise cheongsams.
These waiters are all tall and straight, and at first glance, they are almost the same height.
Seeing Xu Lang coming in, they all put their hands on the left side of their bodies, then leaned sideways and squatted slightly to salute.
At this time, the previous waiter had already parked Xu Lang's car. After returning it to Xu Lang, he returned to the entrance of the building.
After Xu Lang took the key, one of the waitresses stepped out from the crowd, looked at Xu Lang with a smile on her face.
"Sir, our club is a membership-based club. We do not accept anyone other than members. You look unfamiliar, so you don't seem to be our member."
"Yes, someone asked me out, her name is Ye Lan." Xu Lang nodded.
Hearing Xu Lang's words, the waitress smiled even more enthusiastically.
"Sir, please come with me."
The waitress turned sideways and motioned Xu Lang to follow her.
Xu Lang noticed that at some point, a female waiter appeared in the waiter line where the waiter in front of him just stood.
Still with the same tall figure and smiling face.
Xu Lang followed the crowd inside.
Along the way, there was a faint scent of incense and elegant music in my ears.
Xu Lang followed her to the door of a room on the first floor.
"Ms. Ye Lan, the guest you made an appointment with is here." The waiter knocked on the door.
Ye Lan couldn't wait to open the door.
This was the first time Xu Lang saw Ye Lan so anxious.
"You can leave!" Ye Lan waved his hand, then pulled Xu Lang into the room.
The environment here is indeed elegant.
In the room, there was an incense burner emitting a faint fragrance.
Xu Lang recognized that this was at least a product of the Republic of China period.
Apart from that, there is only a table and two stools in the room, but the materials used are not simple, Hainan Huanghuali.
Although it is a modern thing, it is already worth a lot of money.
There is another door in the room.
But there were only a few bamboo curtains.
Xu Lang looked through the bamboo curtain and saw a garden outside the house.
There is even a rockery pond in the garden.
It can be seen that Ye Lan put a lot of thought into choosing the place.
Xu Lang felt more and more that Ye Lan's desire for him, no, for the Emerald Jade Dragon, was beyond his imagination.
As if he felt that he had lost his composure just now, Ye Lan sat down straight.
Then he poured tea for Xu Lang.
When Xu Lang picked up the teacup and started to taste it, she became a little impatient again.
Ye Lan looked at Xu Lang with a serious expression.
"Mr. Xu Lang, please sell me the jade dragon no matter what. I can accept any price you offer."
Xu Lang had never seen Ye Lan look like this before.
Considering what had happened before, he realized even more how important Ye Lan's Yulong was.
However, Xu Lang still wanted to know the reason. "Of course it is possible."
Xu Lang put down the teacup and looked at Ye Lan calmly.
"Really? Mr. Xu!" Ye Lan was very excited.
"but"
Xu Lang interrupted her.
"But Miss Ye Lan, you have to tell me the reason. Why is Miss Ye Lan obsessed with this jade dragon?"
"This..." Ye Lan hesitated.
She looked at Xu Lang, then lowered her head to think.
Xu Lang was not in a hurry either, he just looked at her quietly.
After a long time, Ye Lan nodded.
"In that case, I'll tell Mr. Xu!"
Xu Lang learned the whole story from Ye Lan.
It turns out that this naturally grown dragon-shaped jade is a treasure that absorbs spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
This kind of treasure has its own unique title in the industry - spiritual object.
Ye Lan’s words shocked Xu Lang.
After all, when I looked at that piece of jade, I only knew that it was just a piece of imperial green with excellent water content.
The eyes do not see the rest of the cues.
Seeing Xu Lang's puzzled expression, Ye Lan did not continue to explain, but instead asked Xu Lang a question.
"Mr. Xu, have you noticed that the country has been vigorously collecting all kinds of antiques and artworks that have been lost overseas? Moreover, artworks that are very old are not even allowed to be traded among the public?"
Ye Lan's words made Xu Lang fall into deep thought.
“Is it really as simple as protecting cultural relics?” she continued.
"And it's not just China, many countries in the world are like this too? Are these things worth paying such a high price?"
Ye Lan's words reminded Xu Lang of a piece of news he had seen when he was cramming his knowledge - a few years ago, a patriotic businessman spent hundreds of millions to buy back a bronze animal head.
At that time, Xu Lang felt strange. It was obviously something from the Qing Dynasty and not even from the work of a famous artist. It was not worth spending so much money on it.
Moreover, Xu Lang has seen a lot of such news.
He didn't pay attention to it at that time, but now that Ye Lan reminded him, Xu Lang remembered everything.
At that time, Xu Lang just thought that those wealthy people liked these things.
But Ye Lan's words made Xu Lang question his previous guess.
"Do these things have any other value besides being collected?"
Hearing Xu Lang's question, Ye Lan nodded.
"That's right. Those antiques and precious artworks have value beyond just collection. For a country, they are the talisman that suppresses its national destiny!"
The word "talisman" made Xu Lang feel a heavy sense of oppression.
He couldn't quite believe what Ye Lan said.
Ye Lan looked at Xu Lang and was not surprised. After all, when she first learned about this concept, she was more surprised than Xu Lang was now.
"If these things are not valuable in suppressing the country's destiny, why do the higher-ups attach so much importance to them?" Ye Lan continued.
"You know, whether it's archaeology, building museums, or recovering national treasures from overseas, it costs a huge amount of money every year."
"This money is not for fun. Exploring history, searching for history, and finding national treasures are part of the country's destiny."
