Chapter 656: 464 Xiaofeng and the boy and girl twins are missing_2

If she hadn’t insisted on coming to Lange Yuntian to relax, she wouldn’t have shown up tonight.

However, hearing them defend her like that filled her heart with gratitude.

The three chatted in the private room for a bit since Xiaonian had to go to school early in the morning and couldn’t stay out late, so they left early.

"Xiaolan," the manager approached, "are you heading back now?"

"Yes, manager," Lan Shuixian said with a smile, "By the way, I’m serious about resigning. Please approve it. Between you and me, I’ve opened my own little shop and I’m too busy to do both."

Lan Shuixian thought about it and still decided to quit.

The little shop was shaping up well, and the income was equally good without the need to run back and forth.

"Alright, there’s no need to say that anymore." The manager knew Gu was having some problems with his head, as this drama had now become a daily occurrence, "You should head back, and besides, if you’re not here, what are we going to do?"

The manager muttered under his breath.

Lan Shuixian looked at him suspiciously, "Manager, you’re talking as if I’m the boss here. Honestly, if I had a club that made money like this, why would I even bother opening a little shop? I’d wake up laughing from my dreams."

Gu: "...."

If it’s not yours, could it be mine?

"Xiaolan, you should go back. You have a special talent in concocting milk tea, and every time we add new products, you’re involved. We can’t afford to lose someone as talented as you, right? Of course, if you don’t want to come in every day, coming in every few days is fine too. Once you’re here, you don’t have to serve customers, just focus on developing new products, how does that sound?"

She always thought Gu had been acting stranger lately, and letting him serve customers was definitely a no-go. At this rate, he’d manage to offend most of the clients in just a few days.

"That would work." Lan Shuixian perked up at the idea, "Manager, you said it yourself, from now on I’ll only handle the development of new products and won’t need to come in every day."

As for where the ideas came from, she wasn’t so sure. When inspiration struck, loads of ideas would just come bursting out.

...

The Quan Family’s hiring of a foreign doctor to make a house call was common knowledge in the Imperial Capital. Lan Shuixian, through information from Haige, found it odd that Gu Yecheng had not woken up.

But her own periods of waking were getting longer, meaning that she was occupying Lan Shuixian’s body more and more. At this rate, she would definitely be able to replace Lan Shuixian in this world.

"Master, you once said that if I wanted to truly survive in this world, the other soul would have to leave. I’ve found another soul now," Lan Shuixian sat cross-legged, a Taoist Priest sitting opposite her.

The Taoist Priest wore black Taoist robes and a hat that obscured his real face. Listening to Lan Shuixian, he chuckled lightly, "It will depend on your conviction to survive in this era."

"My desire to stay is very strong now."

"If you want to replace the original owner, you’ll have to find a way to bring the original soul of that body back. That way, you and her will not be in the same time, and she won’t pose a threat to you."

"I understand, I know what I need to do now." Lan Shuixian thanked the Taoist Priest and left gracefully.

...

Early in the morning, Xiaofeng took the twins out and hadn’t returned by evening. The Gu Family thought Xiaofeng was merely taking the twins out to play, so they didn’t pay it much mind.

After dinner, with Xiaofeng and the twins still not back, Yan Junmei felt something was off and called the Quan Family. Chu Qing was shocked, "No, Xiaofeng hasn’t returned."

"She took Xiaobao and Xiaonian out after breakfast and hasn’t come back since. I tried her cell phone, but no one’s answering."

Chu Qing’s heart tightened. "Did she mention where she was going when she left?"

"She said she was taking the twins to the countryside to breathe some fresh air. Oh right, I think the place they went to is called Shihe Village." Xiaofeng had mentioned it as she was leaving.

"I hope nothing’s wrong, it’s so late. Look, you arrange someone to get in touch, and I’ll ask Xiaonian and the others, see if they know anything." Xiaonian and her sister were close; Xiaonian might know something if there was something to know.

But no one could find any news of Xiaonian and the others.

Yan Junmei wanted to contact her son, to ask if Xiaofeng was with him, but she had no idea how to reach him.

Right, Grandpa would surely know.
