As he regained his senses, Hao Xisheng stumbled forward a few steps, only to feel a terrible dizziness in his head, staring blankly at his hand before looking at Bi Xia with a puzzled expression.
ng Chi’s reaction was a lot better than Hao Xisheng’s. Perhaps it was because he had been controlled by Xu Yushi’s spiritual power before, making Katrina’s confinent seem like just a nap. So ng Chi’s reaction was much less intense than Hao Xisheng’s; he only hesitated briefly, then furrowed his brow and stared ahead with an inexplicably complex expression.
Watching the two n’s expressions, Bi Xia’s starry eyes narrowed slightly as she pondered Katrina’s words. Lowering her head slightly, she was lost in thought.
"Boss..."
After a mont, ng Chi parted his lips to speak but suppressed his own questions. He turned to Hao Xisheng, seeing that he hadn’t reacted yet, then said to Bi Xia, "That Katrina is really ruthless to herself."
Thinking of the mont he had twisted Katrina’s arm and recalling her reaction, Bi Xia silently nodded, "Yes, she’s definitely harsher on herself."
ng Chi looked deeply at Bi Xia, reflecting that while talking about others, they themselves were no different... Sohow, ng Chi always felt that the things their boss endured were far more than they did.
Bi Xia turned her gaze to Hao Xisheng, transferring a bit of spiritual power to her fingertips. She approached Hao Xisheng, touched his forehead gently, and imdiately, Hao Xisheng felt his previously blocked spirit clear up. He shook his head, and his eyes lit up, feeling an indescribable comfort all over.
"Hao Xisheng."
The cold voice snapped him back to reality. He turned his head to look at Bi Xia, blinked, and then grinned widely at her, turning to glance aside towards the empty space ahead, suddenly shouting, "Damn! Boss, where did that woman go?"
Bi Xia shrugged, "She ran off while you were zoned out."
Hao Xisheng was baffled, "How co I didn’t see her?"
ng Chi calmly interjected, "If this fool saw her, wouldn’t that an Katrina really lost face?"
Hao Xisheng: ...
Chuckling as he watched ng Chi seriously roast Hao Xisheng, it was no surprise they’re buddies; his roasting skills had shot up rapidly—truly a teachable youth.
Catching Hao Xisheng’s pleading glance, Bi Xia blinked, lightly coughed, and rescued Hao Xisheng with a touch of humanity, "Well, Hao Xisheng, how many tis has this happened to you?"
Stunned by Bi Xia’s question, Hao Xisheng earnestly counted, "At a conservative estimate, maybe five or six tis. So before you ca, I hadn’t gone out for three days."
ng Chi was curious, "Then how did you eat?"
Hao Xisheng looked disdainfully at ng Chi, "Ever heard of a service called ituan Takeout? Even if you don’t know ituan Takeout, you surely know Ele., and even if you don’t know Ele., there’s still..."
Pausing briefly, Hao Xisheng waved his hand, "Forget it, I’ll recomnd a few good delivery apps to you later. Let tell you, I have the expertise, and I know exactly when each shop runs promotions!"
ng Chi: ...
Rubbing his chin, "Then do you know why they ca?"
Hao Xisheng rolled his eyes, "How should I know why they ca here? What I do know is that on the first day, they sward into my shop like a hive, rifling through everything. They almost unearthed my hidden treasures before confirming that my master wasn’t here and leaving."
With those words, Hao Xisheng curiously looked at Bi Xia and ng Chi, "That Katrina seed to be looking for my master too. What about you, are you here for him too?"
Bi Xia nodded, "That’s right, we’re definitely here for your master."
Listening to Bi Xia’s words, Hao Xisheng regretfully spread his hands, "In that case, I can only tell you the sa thing I told them: you’ve co for nothing. My master genuinely isn’t here, and I don’t know what he has on him. I’m just here to watch the shop for him, and it’s not like he cares much about this place—it’s just a resting ho for him."
At that mont, Bi Xia softly laughed, her starry eyes half-squinting, "I don’t know what your master has, but initially, I ca to him for so help with antiques, and now..."
Her red lips curled aningfully, "You’re not bad either."
