Moreover, her expression and tone were very serious.

Why was that?

Because of Reborn?

"Recently, he has been helping me with special training in the morning."

Xia Kong smiled and thanked the waiter who brought the coffee. "But I don't know about his private affairs. After all, I'm only his student.

Girl?

sheng？？

.

？”

"Hmm." Bi Yangqi held her chin.

She looked at the girl in front of her carefully.

She found that there was something else in that pair of clear eyes.

Then she smiled in relief. "Sorry, it's just that I haven't seen him for too long.

I'm a little too nervous. "

"It's okay, I understand."

Seeing Bi Yangqi rubbing her temples, Xia Kong comforted her. "When he's done, he'll definitely meet you... I don't know much about Pengelly.

xanxus,

Hayato, do you know the whereabouts of Reborn? "

She deliberately led the topic to the two men. She took the time to take a sip of coffee.

The sweetness and softness of milk bubbles melted on the tip of her tongue and then dissipated.

Only a faint bitterness was left.

Beautiful things,

Would always fade away quickly.

"I said earlier that I don't know where Mr. Reborn is." Hayato looked at the cappuccino in front of him awkwardly.

He didn't want to drink it because he didn't like the taste inside.

"That guy is the old man's man," Xanxus said as he glanced at Bi Yangqi.

Even Walia's boss said so. Bi Yangqi frowned slightly and didn't say anything else.

Xia Kong tasted the bitterness overflowing from the coffee.

She took out the wrapped gift from the package. "Hayato,

Thank you for being willing to lend me the money earlier. This is a thank you gift. "

The rectangular gift box was already in front of him, but Hayato didn't dare to reach out to take it.

Because Xanxus, who was sitting opposite him, was relying on his height.

He looked down at him condescendingly.

Would he die if he took it?

Hayato, who was shrouded in murderous intent, thought so. A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

Noticing Hayato's stiff posture, Xia Kong tilted her head and looked at Xanxus beside her.

Usually, when she went on missions with him, she would only look at him like this when she encountered enemies.

What did Hayato do?

"Xanxus?" Xia Kong shouted. "Uh, you haven't told me what you're doing here."

Xanxus tilted his head and remained silent for a long time. When he saw the puzzled look on the girl's face, he couldn't help but become irritable.

He raised his hand and flicked Xia Kong's forehead.

"Hey, what's the meaning of this?!" Xia Kong felt even more baffled as she covered her sore spot.

"Idiot."

Xanxus grabbed the gift in Xia Kong's hand and threw it to Hayato. "It's for you. Take it."

It's clearly because you're looking at me that I don't dare to take it!

Hayato hugged the thing in his arms and thought for a long time, but he still did not dare to refute.

"Pfft." Seeing this scene, Bi Yangqi laughed out loud.

The boss of Pengelly's assassination team, Valia, had probably never pursued a girl … and the other girl seemed to have no such awareness.

Thinking of this, Biyang Qi looked at her younger brother and raised her beautiful eyebrows. "Hayato, you haven't thanked me yet."

"Thanks."

Hayato Jōdera said dryly as he took a big gulp of cappuccino to calm himself down. The strange taste made his face twitch.

Seeing this, Xia Kong wailed in her heart. Hayato's state did not give him the right atmosphere to be a close friend!

What should she do?!

In the end, why did Xanxus come over today?!

If she missed this opportunity to give Hayato a gift, he might reject her next time.

Although she was hesitant, Xia Kong did not show it on her face. She smiled generously. "You're welcome. Give me your account number. I'll return the money to you later."

When Hayato heard this, he took out his phone and sent his account number to Xia Kong under Xanxus's gaze.

While he was typing, his fingers shook under the intense gaze of Xanxus.

Bi Yangqi laughed silently in her heart.

Her younger brother had been away from home for so long, but deep down, he was still a twelve-year-old boy.

"Xia Kong, I'm sorry. I haven't seen Hayato in a long time. Do you mind if I bring him back early today to interact with him?" Bi Yangqi said as she put her arm around Hayato Jōdera's shoulder.

"Uh … I don't mind." Although Xia Kong was reluctant to give up this opportunity, she still agreed readily.

Hayato Jōdera frowned. He did not want to be glared at by Xanxus, nor did he want to leave with Bi Yangqi.

Because if he left, he did not know how much he would be nagged about going home.

Seeing that he did not answer, Bi Yangqi suddenly took off her sunglasses and flipped her hair handsomely.

When Bi Yangqi did this with exquisite makeup, she really had the charm of a mature woman.

Xia Kong sighed with emotion, but Prison Temple's face suddenly paled a lot, as if he was even more afraid. Even the cold sweat on his forehead had increased by quite a bit.

"Hayato, Hayato?"

At this moment, Bi Yangqi pulled him up and said anxiously, "I'm sorry, he doesn't seem to be feeling well. We'll be leaving first."

Hayato, who was being supported, was pulled away with a dark expression. He could not say a word.

Xia Kong took a sip of his coffee in a melancholy manner after seeing his target leave just like that.

"Are you disappointed that he left?!" Xanxus suddenly said from the side.

"No." Xia Kong shook her head and finished her coffee. She stood up and said, "Thank you for sending me here today."

She did not want to stay any longer.

Xanxus's face darkened. He also stood up, grabbed Xia Kong's wrist, and pulled her forward.

Xia Kong was frightened by his actions and expression. She struggled a few times but could not break free. She could only ask, "What are you doing today?"

Xanxus did not say a word. He paid the bill and dragged her to the door.

Some of the seated guests looked over, but he did not care.

"Hehehe, Boss is angry." When they passed by a seat, Xia Kong heard a familiar voice. She looked over.

The person who spoke was the blonde Belfigore.

"Why did you suddenly commandeer someone's car?"

Lucilia, who was wearing sunglasses, complained. "You actually did it just to drink coffee with a little girl."

"Hey, can Boss hear us?" Scuvaro shouted, causing all the members to look over at Xia Kong.

"Your subordinates are here too."

Trying to divert Xanxus's attention, Xia Kong used some strength to force him to stop.

When Xanxus heard this, he only tilted his head and glanced over. "A bunch of boring trash. Don't worry about them.

— — Since you've said so, please don't worry about me!

Seeing that the members of Walia were intimidated by Xanxus's gaze, they instantly looked away and drank their coffee in the dark. Xia Kong was speechless.

She really wanted to enter battle mode in minutes and get rid of the man in front of her who was obviously annoyed about something. However, when she thought of the candies and pastries that he had left for himself, she could only suppress this feeling.

However, it was indeed uncomfortable to be dragged away.

"Can you let go of me?

I will follow you. "Xia Kong frowned and said," My hand hurts. "

Xanxus looked down at the slender wrist in his hand and let go as he was told.

Xia Kong turned the painful spot. Viper, who was sitting on a chair, suddenly said, "I heard that it's easier to get a good impression if you hold a girl's hand. Do you know this information?"

"Hehehe, Prince, I already knew."

After the two of them talked, Xanxus glared at them. He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Woman, follow me."

Xia Kong pursed her lips and followed.

Xanxus did not stop until they walked into a large clothing store.

The clothes on display were all gowns. The women's dresses were like clothes that would only be worn at a ball.

What did this mean?

The doubts in her heart deepened. Xia Kong looked at Xanxus suspiciously.

Xanxus said to the female salesperson who came up to him, "Pick out a dress for her."

"Yes, sir." The female salesperson immediately gestured for Xia Kong to walk forward.

Xia Kong could not help but say, "I don't need this type of dress. It's inconvenient."

Xanxus smiled mischievously. He sat on the guest's chair and stared at her. He did not say anything, but his gaze was stubborn.

Xia Kong really didn't like dresses, so he insisted on his opinion. He stood where he was and stared at Xanxus.

The girl's gaze was a little stubborn. It was as if she was competing to see who would blink first. A hint of interest flashed across Xanxus's scarlet eyes. He crossed his legs and propped his chin up, looking at her with interest.

It seemed that in his distant memory, in the leisure time stolen from the war, there was also such a scene.

The difference was … they were no longer on opposing sides.

There was still time.

The strange atmosphere between Xanxus and Xia Kong made the salesperson feel awkward. "Excuse me, are you still buying clothes?"

"Of course!"

"We're not buying."

The completely different answers made the young salesperson grit her teeth. She was speechless. "Are you buying or not?

Sir, please discuss with your female companion. If it's the dress to wear for the Christmas ball in a few days, I suggest you buy a matching dress. "

She compared the height of the two and guessed their age. She suggested, "You can try it on together. If you're not satisfied, we can even make it for you."

It sounded like a set would be more attractive. Xanxus asked, "How many days?"

"Two days. You can pick it up in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

His attitude seemed to be acquiescing to some dance partner's words. Xia Kong was very surprised.

Was it Pengelly's ball?

However, she didn't receive any notice or invitation letter.

Moreover, how did she become his dance partner?

"I say, Xanxus, did you decide on your own?" Xia Kong walked up to Xanxus. Her voice was a little higher because she was a little angry.

Xanxus revealed an evil smile. "Ah, yes. The old man assigned you to Walia as a temporary worker, so you're still my subordinate for now."

His domineering tone made Xia Kong even more depressed. "But there's no rule that says I have to listen to you."

"Your salary is paid by Walia." Xanxus raised his chin slightly, and a hint of pride was written on his face. "Is it enough?

Is the salary too high? "

He really looked like he was going to exploit his employees!

However, when she thought about the winter clothes she bought during this period, Hayato's gift, and various expenses, Xia Kong sighed dejectedly.
