Chapter 516: Sikong Mo is very idle at 516.

Afterward, Ye Jiu asked, "Where is this?"

"This is the summer residence outside the city. Yesterday you fell asleep on the road, so after we arrived, I carried you here," Sikong Mo explained.

"Oh, that must have troubled Young Master Sikong, I’m embarrassed." Ye Jiu awkwardly apologized.

Sikong Mo couldn’t help but smile, "Hungry, aren’t you? Get up, wash up, and let’s have breakfast."

"Okay..." Ye Jiu replied.

Fortunately, Sikong Mo had left the room, so Ye Jiu hurriedly got out of bed, sorted herself out with the help of the rather unclear copper mirror, and then left the room.

After Ye Jiu came out, Sikong Mo led her to the main hall, where the breakfast had already been served, and he asked her to sit down.

The breakfast wasn’t particularly lavish, but there were congee, steamed buns, and a few side dishes.

Moreover, this was the first time they formally sat down together at the table for a proper meal, just the two of them.

Sikong Mo had hardly ever seen what other girls looked like when they ate, but he found that just watching Ye Jiu eat made the food seem more delicious.

Therefore, he, who usually didn’t have much of an appetite, forced himself to eat half as much again today.

However, both ate very quickly, so it didn’t take long to finish the meal.

After breakfast, Ye Jiu couldn’t wait to ask, "Young Master Sikong, where should I... place the grain?"

"Are you in such a hurry?" Or could it be that she was in a rush simply to escape from his company?

For the first time, Sikong Mo lacked the courage, because he dared not ask a certain question.

Seeing the sudden gloom on Sikong Mo’s face, Ye Jiu was perplexed.

"It’s not that I’m in a hurry, it’s just that... I have Young Master Sikong’s money in my purse. I’ll feel uneasy if I don’t give the grain to you," Ye Jiu explained.

Sikong Mo’s face lightened a bit, and he said earnestly, "Ye Jiu, with me, you’ll never have to feel uneasy, even if there’s no grain. As long as I have it and you want it, I can give you everything."

Ye Jiu’s hand, hidden under the table, twitched, and she immediately felt a great pressure bear down on her.

"Young Master Sikong must be joking." He might be willing to give, but she would be too afraid to accept.

All her life, all she wanted was to live quietly as a wealthy person, enjoying life to the fullest.

Sikong Mo no longer spoke, for he would prove his intentions with actions instead.

The estate was very large, so expansive that Ye Jiu estimated it might even be larger than the War Prince Residence—truly worthy of a summer resort.

At the same time, it made Ye Jiu sigh at the benefits of having wealth and power.

Look, the summer residences of the wealthy are so luxurious, while common folks like them live under leaky roofs, and such families with many brothers can get into bloody fights over just one dilapidated house when they divide the family assets.

This was reality.

Sikong Mo seemed to have been very busy the past couple of days, and she only got to see him at night when he was practicing his martial arts.

But today, he seemed to have some free time, so free that instead of attending to his duties he was aimlessly wandering around the estate with Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu, however, was feeling very anxious.

She didn’t know whether Sikong Mo had anything to take care of, but she knew she had plenty of her own matters to deal with.

After returning from the shop yesterday, she stayed at home the whole time.

And Ye Wenzheng didn’t return until very late at night, only sending a servant back to report that the shop was too busy and instructed Ye Jiu to dine without waiting for him.

Ye Gaosheng was even busier after eating; he went off to work on his products and wasn’t seen the whole night.

Therefore, Ye Jiu didn’t even know what they were doing now, and she was anxious to go back and inquire about the situation at the shop.
