Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 197

“The Taoist master doesn’t have time today to drive me back, so he will do that tomorrow morning.”

Su Mingan: “Don’t wait for him. If you want to come back, I will pick you up by car.”

The high-speed rail was open, so naturally it took more than forty minutes from Beijing to Anshi. However, his daughter was also considered a public figure, and taking the high-speed rail may cause some unnecessary commotion, so she would be more at ease to travel by car.

Su Miaomiao: “No, I’ll just wait and come back with the Taoist master.”

Su Mingan thought that his daughter must have missed them, but she was too confused by that brat Xie Jingyuan.

The father and daughter chatted for more than half an hour, and Su Miaomiao suddenly yawned.

The sun came over and shone warmly on her, making her want to sleep.

Su Mingan tentatively asked, “What time did you go to bed last night?”

Su Miaomiao thought for a while and said, “Around ten o’clock?”

Su Mingan quickly calculated that his daughter got off the plane at eight o’clock, Beijing was so congested, therefore Xie Jingyuan reached the villa at nine o’clock, and there was an hour left for his daughter to eat, wash and take a bath. That made him think that Xie Jingyuan probably wouldn’t have a chance to do anything.

After taking a nap, Su Miaomiao felt that Xie Jingyuan had come in, but she didn’t react. At ten o’clock, she was woken up by a video call from Zhao Lu, her roommate from the university.

Zhao Lu continued to study in graduate school. At that time, she was on summer vacation. She stayed in Beijing University and did some part-time jobs.

“What time is it, and you haven’t woken up yet?!” Seeing Su Miaomiao’s lazy look in the camera, Zhao Lu exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Su Miaomiao rubbed her eyes, leaned against the head of the bed, and explained, “I’m up, I’m in the Taoist master’s company.”

Zhao Lu also expressed her shock at that luxurious lounge, and then showed an ambiguous smile. “Taoist Xie seems restrained, but he’s actually a gentle rogue,” she said.

Su Miaomiao thought, “gentle rogue” was definitely not a good word.

“You slept in the lounge for two hours? Isn’t Boss Xie afraid that the employees are going to think wildly?”

“I’m now the Taoist master’s secretary.”

“Really? You don’t look like a secretary at all, but more like a college student lover that Boss Xie brought over to the company,” Zhao Lu teased.

“Are you free now? I’ll take you to buy clothes. I promise it’ll fascinate Boss Xie,” Zhao Lu offered. 

Su Miaomiao was intrigued and immediately made an appointment with Zhao Lu. She ran to the bathroom to wash her face, tied her hair, grabbed her small bag, and headed out.

Xie Jingyuan wasn’t in the office and had gone to the R&D center, so Su Miaomiao called him.

Knowing that Su Miaomiao was going to see Zhao Lu and he couldn’t leave, Xie Jingyuan arranged a driver for her.

“Are you coming back at noon?” Xie Jingyuan asked.

“No, I’m eating with Zhao Lu!” Su Miaomiao replied.

Su Miaomiao got into the car, made sure that Xie Jingyuan had nothing else to say, and hung up the call without hesitation.

In the R&D center, an alumni colleague standing next to Xie Jingyuan saw that Boss Xie, who could keep his face cold even when the laboratory was on fire, pursed his lips slightly, as if he was a little disappointed.

Zhao Lu accompanied Su Miaomiao to the shopping mall, where they bought three sets of secretary outfits with different styles for her. She also bought a skirt for herself. They settled for lunch in the mall, and in the middle of it, Xie Jingyuan even made a phone call.

“Boss Xie, are you afraid that I might not keep an eye on Miaomiao and let her be abducted by other handsome guys?” When the phone call was about to end, Zhao Lu came to Su Miaomiao’s side and joked on the phone.

Xie Jingyuan said calmly, “No.”

After Su Miaomiao hung up the call, Zhao Lu blinked at her and said, “It must be true. You always go to his place when you are free, so he couldn’t feel relieved when you came out today. I really can’t tell whether who is more clingy to whom between the two of you. Thankfully, the boss is clinging to you even more.”

Su Miaomiao: “The Taoist master won’t cling to me.”

In the morning, she wanted to have a little more intimacy with the Taoist master, but he listed all kinds of rules for her, such as what couldn’t be done during the day or outside.

Of course, Su Miaomiao did not tell Zhao Lu those details.

Zhao Lu analyzed for her based on some clues she had gotten, “Boss Xie is boring, maybe he enjoys it more in his heart. Besides, if you take the initiative to stick to him, of course he wouldn’t need to stick to you again. So today, wash up and wear the new clothes and stay in the lakeside community in the afternoon. When he comes to pick you up in the evening, you put on new clothes, keep a distance from him, don’t hug or kiss him, and see how long he can hold back.”

Su Miaomiao nodded with a smile.

In the past four years, Zhao Lu had given her many good ideas. In Su Miaomiao’s eyes, she was the smartest girl she knew among human beings.

After eating, Su Miaomiao and Zhao Lu got into the car Xie Jingyuan arranged and asked the driver to drive to the lakeside community.

On the way, Su Miaomiao called Xie Jingyuan again and told him her new arrangements for the afternoon.

Xie Jingyuan was silent for a few seconds, and then said, “Alright, I’ll come there in the evening and move all your things to the villa.”

When Zhao Lu heard it, and after the call ended, she teased Su Miaomiao in a low voice, “You just graduated and are going to live together?”

Su Miaomiao replied, “Well, Xu Shou and Gu Jialing live there, so of course I have to move there.”

Zhao Lu was surprised, “You four still live together?”

She had heard of strong friendships before, but at most, everyone rented a house together before buying a house. But Xie Jingyuan bought a villa and left a room for Xu Shou and Gu Jialing.

Su Miaomiao just thought it was normal, although she had become the wife of the master, Xu Shou and Gu Jialing were still Qingxu Temple’ demons.

Moreover, the Taoist master arranged their rooms on the second floor, and only hers was on the fourth floor, which obviously showed that he favored her the most.

Seeing that Su Miaomiao was very satisfied with the arrangement, Zhao Lu thought she was not at all afraid of their couple’s two-person world being disturbed by two good friends, so she did not say anything else.
