The end of the month.
Today was the last day of July. Shen Nanxiao had already made arrangements to go to North City. This trip would take at least half a month.
When they arrived at North City's Yonghe Airport, Liu Qi felt dizzy. She did not get carsick, but she did get airsick. The feeling of weightlessness made her stomach uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Lan Lan also came along. Lan Lan helped her into the bathroom and patted her back gently. After throwing up, she even got a bottle of mineral water for her to rinse her mouth.
This meticulous care made Liu Qi like Lan Lan very much.
She remembered that when she first learned Lan Lan's name, she thought it was Nan Nan. In fact, the two of them had a lot of similarities, but Lan Lan was not Nan Nan.
"Miss Liu, I got your favorite sour candy. Do you want to eat one? It can make you feel better." Lan Lan carried a large leather bag. Most of the things in it were what Liu Qi needed.
"Yes, okay." Liu Qi spoke weakly. When she went back, she would definitely take the high-speed train. She would never take a plane.
After leaving the bathroom, Liu Qi went to the rest area to look for Shen Nanxiao.
Seeing Liu Qi come, Shen Nanxiao got up from the sofa. Looking at the little girl in front of him, whose face was slightly pale, he felt a little heartache.
"Are you better?"
"I'm fine. Lan Lan gave me sour candy. I don't feel nauseous now." Liu Qi opened her cherry-like mouth slightly. The tip of her tongue held a round and clear sour candy for Shen Nanxiao to see.
If it were not for the people around, the little girl would have lost the candy in her mouth.
Shen Nanxiao held her hand and said, "Have a good rest when we get to the hotel."
Vicas Hotel.
This was a hotel under the Shen family. Although it had nothing to do with Yunqi, Shen Nanxiao was the next inheritor of the Shen family, so he naturally had his own suite in Vicas.
"Director Shen, if there are no problems, I'll go down first," the hotel manager, Hu Xue, said respectfully.
Before Shen Nanxiao could speak, Liu Qi spoke first. She smiled and urged, "Go and do your work."
After she left, it was finally quiet. Lan Lan entered the nanny's room by the door to pack her things.
Liu Qi said, "Lan Lan, you're tired too. Rest well and don't worry about me."
After saying that, she walked through the living room, past the open kitchen and the lounge bar, and rushed into the master bedroom impatiently.
Lying down felt like sleeping on a cloud. She did not want to care about anything right now; she just wanted to have a good sleep.
"Girl, I'm going out for a while. I'll be back later." Shen Nanxiao's voice sounded above her head, but she did not want to respond.
She only felt a gentle kiss on her forehead, and then she was picked up by someone..
After an unknown amount of time, it was already dark outside.
Liu Qi woke up in a daze. She habitually searched for her phone by the bed. When she turned on her phone, the dazzling light immediately attacked her, and she had no choice but to squint her eyes to adjust the brightness.
It was already 9pm.
She did not know if Shen Nanxiao had returned yet, but there were quite a few Wechat messages.
Detective Yue: "Jiang Feng and Yang Fan don't have clean hands. There are quite a lot of things. Wait for me to confirm that. I don't have any money. Transfer me some money first."
Detective Yue: "Liu Fu is the manager of Roland's Marketing Department. There's nothing on him. He's a clean and good person in China, but there are some suspicious things."
Liu Fu was indeed suspicious. What was strange was how Liu Fu had managed to leave the country through proper channels in his previous life.
Cat Cat: "Can you collect evidence?"
Detective Yue: "There's nothing that money can't do."
...
Cat Cat: "How much?"
Detective Yue: "Give me 20,000 first."
If that was the case, it did not seem to be just 20,000. Liu Qi sighed, gritted her teeth, and transferred 20,000 over.
Detective Yue: "Wait for my news."
Whew -- Liu Qi turned off her phone and let out a deep breath. She hoped that this person, Yue, would give her some help.
She had been dealing with Nangong Shu these past few days, and tomorrow would be August.
Yesterday, she told Nangong Shu that she had already received the check from her father's company, and that she had stamped the financial seal and the corporate seal. She would go to the North City and transfer the money to Nangong Shu.
However, there was actually a big loophole in this lie, but Nangong Shu did not seem to care. He was not afraid of being held accountable because it was Liu Qi who did it. He was certain that Liu Qi would take the blame.
At that time, Nangong Shu said, "Ah Qi, I won't take your money for free. When the time comes, I'll write an IOU for you."
That was a good saying. If he wrote an IOU, everything would be Liu Qi's fault.
What a good plan.
At this moment, there were still a few messages from Nangong Shu that afternoon.
Roland: "Ah Qi, have you arrived in North City yet?"
It seemed that Nangong Shu was a little anxious. After all, tomorrow was the first day, and it was the day to repay the loan. She just wanted Nangong Shu to be anxious. Although she knew that Nangong Shu had the ability to repay the loan, he would probably lose a lot after he paid.
Liu Qi answered the message on her phone.
Cat Cat: "I just arrived. Let's meet at Wanhe Park tomorrow. I'm going to rest first."

Shen Nanxiao: "Are you up?"
Shen Nanxiao: "I'll be at the hotel in ten minutes. Come down and I'll take you out for dinner."
Liu Qi replied with an "Okay" and quickly turned on the lights. She lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
This must be a date. Liu Qi was inexplicably excited.
She picked up the folded white dress on the bedside table and was about to change into it when she suddenly felt that something was wrong!
Wait!
Liu Qi was suddenly stunned. Was this not the dress that she wore before she went to bed! Why was she wearing... pajamas now? And what happened to the undergarment she wore on her upper body!
She was a little flustered for a moment. Who did it...
Don't think too much! Don't think too much. It should be Lan Lan!
However... Liu Qi clearly remembered that Shen Nanxiao had hugged her when she was still in a daze.
It can not be! It can not be! Liu Qi's heart was beating extremely fast. The redness climbed onto her cheeks and ears.
Ten minutes later.
Shen Nanxiao's car had already arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
Gradually, another half an hour passed, but Liu Qi was still nowhere to be seen. Shen Nanxiao had also finished reading up on the information he needed for the next day. He closed the computer and looked at his watch.
"President, Miss Liu must be putting on makeup. Girls put on makeup very slowly," Wu Feng explained for Liu Qi. He knew that the President hated waiting for people the most.
"Okay." From his tone, it was obvious that Shen Nanxiao was not angry at all.
That was true. As long as the other party was Miss Liu, the President would probably wait until the end of time without the slightest dissatisfaction.
Then, Shen Nanxiao asked. "Has Roland's payment arrived?"
"Not yet. They still have two days before the final day," Wu Feng said.
Shen Nanxiao opened the car door. It seemed like he had to personally bring the little girl down. He did not know what this little girl was busy with.
At this moment, Liu Qi had already exited the elevator. She just happened to see Shen Nanxiao walking over from the entrance to the hotel lobby.
When she saw Shen Nanxiao, Liu Qi blushed a little. She had already confirmed that Lan Lan was resting. Since Lan Lan looked very tired, she did not wake her up.
However... this did not mean that Shen Nanxiao changed her clothes. It was definitely Lan Lan who changed her clothes before she went to rest.
That's right, that was it.

This was a high class Chinese restaurant. It was a must-go place in North City.
Every dish was as exquisite as a work of art, making people reluctant to eat them.
Halfway through eating, Liu Qi could not help but open her mouth. She shyly caressed her hair to her ear and said, "Shen Nanxiao, let me ask you something."
"Okay." Shen Nanxiao stopped eating. His entire gaze was on the little girl, focused and devoted.
The more so, the more embarrassed Liu Qi was to open her mouth. After a long time, she still could not open her mouth. Then, Shen Nanxiao was not in a hurry and continued to wait for her.
"I... Let me ask you, my... clothes... did you change them?" After Liu Qi asked intermittently, she stared at Shen Nanxiao with unusual seriousness. She only hoped that Shen Nanxiao would quickly say no.
Hearing this question, Shen Nanxiao was slightly startled at first. Then, a faint smile actually appeared on the side of his mouth. It was clear and shallow, but it carried a hint of tease.
