Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 378 Want to be closer

After saying that, Manager Chen took his people away, as if he still thought that they would eventually come to them for help again. After all, more than half a month ago, Hongdou went to the trading company crying for help, wanting to ask for more money for her medical treatment!

Maybe she has help from a noble person, but she is still a member of the Guo family after all, and there will always be a time when she will have to ask him for help again!

After a while, they all left and only the two of them were left in the house.

Hongdou hurried to close the door. Si He glanced at the courtyard and then walked into the house. The things in the house had been turned over. Although they were just some clothes and she didn't keep anything valuable, this situation made her unhappy.

At this time, Hongdou walked in. Seeing her cold face, she was inexplicably frightened and said quickly: "Miss, Manager Chen brought people into the house to check before, and I couldn't stop them."

Si He picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and said, "What did they ask you?"

Hongdou said awkwardly, "They were asking about the young lady and the origins of these things. I just said that the young lady had someone help her and that she recovered from her illness recently. But they asked who that person was, and I just said I didn't know."

Si He picked up the water cup, but didn't drink it immediately. Instead, she spun the cup around nonchalantly and asked, "Didn't they say anything else?"

Hongdou said: "No, I have been waiting here since then, but it wasn't long before you came back, young lady."

Si He looked up at her, her bright eyes seemed to carry a hint of depth, and she stared straight at her.

When Hongdou met her eyes, she was immediately distracted and became dazed.

"They really didn't say anything else?"

Si He asked again.

Hongdou replied dully, "They told me to keep an eye on the young lady and report any developments to them. They promised to transfer me back to Zhongzhou to be with my family."

Si He looked at Hongdou quietly, not surprised at all, and had probably expected this situation to happen.

"You didn't tell them my identity?"

Hongdou replied truthfully: "No."

Si He raised the corners of her lips slightly. It seemed that Hongdou was hiding something from both sides and had her own plans.

In fact, Hongdou did nothing wrong. After all, she had no feelings for her fake master Si He, so it was normal for her to want to seek benefits for herself.

"Besides watching, did you get told to do anything else?"

"Not yet."

Hearing this answer, Si He lowered her eyes, took a sip of the water in the cup, and at the same time broke off her control over Hongdou.

Hongdou regained consciousness and looked at Si He drinking water calmly in front of her. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat. This distracted state made her a little panicked.

Si He looked up at her and said, "Go boil some hot water. I want to take a bath."

"Yes." Hongdou quickly retreated. She always felt a little 'uncomfortable' staying with her. She couldn't describe the feeling.

Si He looked at Hongdou's leaving back, her eyes slightly darkening. Although this girl had ulterior motives, it was still useful to keep her.

Yue Fuli was a son of the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family in Jizhou.

Since Ning Ji's reincarnation is not an ordinary person, she needs Guo Jiaqu's identity even more. Even if she is just a businessman's daughter, she is the richest man in Zhongzhou after all. If she uses her well, she can help him.

Si He sat on the chair and thought about her future plans.

……

On the other side, the guards who had escorted Si He were originally going to leave the city, but halfway, they met their own people, so they changed their route and followed them to an inn in the city.

Yue Fuli was in the city.

His visit to Qingzhou this time was ostensibly to deliver gifts on behalf of his father and to celebrate the birthday of King Beishan's mother, Queen Mother Kong. But in reality, he had other important things to do, so after celebrating the birthday, he still stayed in Qingzhou, pretending to be out for fun.

Although Jizhou and Qingzhou were on good terms, they were also wary of each other. Both sides had frequently planted spies in each other's territories, engaging in intrigue and intrigue.

The Chen family may have seen him staying in Qingzhou, so they sent Chen Shisan out to test him. Although Chen Shisan looked reckless, he actually had other intentions, which is why the previous incident happened. He just didn't expect that he would suffer a loss first.

However, this was a 'competition' between juniors, and Chen Shisan had to swallow his loss. Moreover, he was the one who started the fight first and was in the wrong.

After the guard arrived at the inn, he reported the escort situation to Yue Fuli. Although it was just a small matter of escorting an ordinary girl, he still had to tell him since it was the master's personal instruction.

Not surprisingly, Yue Fuli really didn't care at all. After listening to the report, he didn't say anything and let the people leave.

Moreover, given his previous style, it was unexpected that he would be so kind as to let his subordinates do this.

It soon got dark, and perhaps because of the rain, the small town was very deserted at night.

But, there are undercurrents.

……

The next morning, when Hongdou went out to buy vegetables, she saw many more police officers on the streets. Whenever they saw anyone suspicious, they would approach and question them, as if something big had happened.

Hongdou didn't dare to stay on the street, so she left in a hurry. After buying something, she immediately returned to the house. However, the house was empty, and Si He left without saying a word again.

Hongdou didn't dare to inquire about her whereabouts. After hesitating for a while, she didn't report the situation to the people in the trading company. After all, Hongdou didn't know where she went.

At this time, Si He was in a restaurant.

Because the bone bead responded when she sensed it as usual in the morning, and according to the comparisons made several times before, the distance should be very close, so she put on her veil and came out.

In fact, logically speaking, she shouldn't have come.

Yesterday's incident could be considered a coincidence, but if it happened again today, it would seem very abnormal. How could there be so many coincidences in the world?

What's more, his special identity makes it easier for him to mistakenly think that she has ulterior motives.

Although she did have ulterior motives, that was different.

She sat in the private room, drinking tea quietly, with the veil still on her head.

According to the bone bead's reaction, Yue Fuli was in one of the private rooms on the second floor.

At this moment, she still felt a little uneasy. The feeling was very complicated. She still couldn't adapt to the unfamiliar "Ningji" in her heart.

Even though she had thought to herself many times that this was a reincarnation and he had no memories, it still took her some time to accept the fact.

She sat in the private room, not specifically asking questions, nor trying to make contact, because she knew that too much is as bad as too little.

I was also afraid of being disliked by him.

Even if I want to approach him, now is not the time.

It's nice to be in the same place with him at such a close distance, even if we don't touch each other.

This will calm her anxiety.

Time passed by little by little, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. He still stayed in the private room and had not come out. My idea of ​​meeting him secretly was dashed.

Si He touched the bone beads, and finally sighed, paid the bill and left.

After all, she, a girl, had stayed in the private room alone for a long time. If she stayed any longer, it would easily attract other people's attention and she would be discovered by him.

However, just as she went downstairs, someone blocked her way.

This man, with a broad back and strong waist, was a very strong guard. He bowed to her and said, "Miss, my master invites you."
