Mona stood up from her chair and looked around at the spectators below. Naturally, she also saw Chen Huaian, and the expression on her face couldn't help but light up and she smiled. After a brief look at each other, Mona looked away. After all, she couldn't predict Chen Huaian's future, so she could only choose another partner. Then she saw the girl with the zongzi hair who had signed up enthusiastically. Keqing became Mona's lucky audience. "Hello, young lady," Mona invited Keqing to take a seat, "I just saw that you were very enthusiastic about signing up. Is there anything important that you need to divine?" "Well, I guess where my future fortune is going to be." In fact, what Keqing wanted to divine more was Liyue's future, the future of Liyue who had lost Emperor Yanwang. But she knew that there were so many people in Liyue, and their destinies were so intertwined, that if they wanted to divine the fate of a country, it would be a huge project. It would be better to directly divine her fortune as a Seven Star. If her fortune is good enough, then Liyue's future development will be prosperous, right? "Luck?" Mona called out an astrological disk composed of elemental forces. "People have many fortunes. If you want to know all of a person's future fortunes, you can't come to a conclusion in a short while."
"But I can divine your fortune in the next few months for you and see what big events will happen... What is your name?" Keqing thought for a moment, then leaned into Mona's ear and told her name. Mona nodded, her fingertips slid silently on the astrological disk, and she let out a small exclamation after a while. "How is it?" Keqing asked quickly, "Is it a blessing or a curse?" "It's a blessing," Mona smiled. "The reflection in the water tells me that not only will your career be smooth in the next few months, but you will even gain your own love soon." "Eh!!!" Keqing blushed at Mona's words. love? How could she, who was clearly focused on her work, find love so soon? Mona slid the astrological disk a few more times and looked at the illusion reflected on it. She glimpsed the deep reality from it and continued: "Perhaps there will be a little friction between you at the beginning and some unhappiness, but you will quickly resolve the differences and eventually get together." Mona's words made Keqing fall into deep thought, causing a little friction and discomfort... The misunderstanding from yesterday morning suddenly came to mind. Was he saying that she would fall in love with that guy? How is that possible? It's obvious that he... As for the authenticity of the divination results, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the divination results. After all, Mona, as the author of the "Constellation Talk" column in the "Steam Bird Newspaper", has a strength that is obvious to all. Since Mona published the article, no astrologer has ever dared to question the authority of the above article. After a moment of silence, Keqing asked again: "When will you harvest love...?" "It should be within the next few days." "Oh," Keqing nodded and returned to her seat with deep thoughts. Love...it's so annoying. I should have known better than to ask this question.
However, the fact that the career is smooth is quite reassuring, at least it means that the emperor's departure will not have a big impact on Liyue. Mona's words on the stage also fell into Chen Huaian's ears, and he also fell into deep thought. Friction, unhappiness, this is referring to the conflict and confrontation between him and Ke Qing yesterday due to misunderstanding, right? Moreover, Keqing has only gained love in the past few days, so it seems that she has to help verify Mona's divination results. Mona's divination session was not over yet. With the host's persuasion, Mona once again selected a lucky audience member. The lucky audience this time is a wealthy businessman, and what he wants to know about is naturally his fortune. He wants to know when he will make a fortune and return home in glory. But through Mona's divination, she came to some unfortunate news - the goods purchased by the wealthy businessman a few days ago will be confiscated and fined by Qianyan Army due to quality issues, and he himself will be imprisoned. end. Mona's words naturally angered the wealthy businessman, and she jumped up as if stepping on his tail, saying that Mona was a liar, and left Heyu Tea House cursingly. Then when he was going down the stairs, his left foot tripped over his right foot and he rolled down, making everyone laugh. For this, Chen Huaian felt he deserved to be scolded. People's fortunes naturally have good and bad fortunes. How can anyone have good luck all their life? You haven't even thought about this, why are you just joining in the fun and doing divination? Or maybe the wealthy businessman really regarded Mona as a charlatan who could only say nice things, so he came to Mona to ask her to say a few nice things so that he could feel more at ease when selling the inferior goods. Just like those bad people who do bad things and are restless, but they also like to pray to gods and Buddhas to release their lives and accumulate virtue. Ke Qing also thought of this, got up and left Heyu Tea House. She was going to the General Affairs Department to ask Qian Yanjun to check on the businessman just now. However, when Ke Qing passed by Chen Huaian and saw him looking like a noble young master, she showed a slightly surprised expression. Why is he here? Thinking back to Mona's astrological conclusion just now, he must have heard it too, right? Will he also think of the other person like she does? At this moment, Qing's little face was getting redder and redder, becoming hot and hot. He didn't even dare to stay too long, he lowered his head, didn't even say hello, and walked past him quickly as if he hadn't seen Chen Huai. Chapter 168 Let that girl go! Ke Qing was blind and did not see Chen Huaian, who only attracted the attention of girls and women nearby with his good appearance and noble temperament. But Chen Huaian was not so blind that he even pretended not to see the famous Yu Hengxing walking by. If such avoidance prevents the two from interacting and Keqing cannot gain her love in the past few days, wouldn't that smear Mona's reputation? I'm afraid even Keqing will take the lead in calling Mona a liar by then, right? So for the sake of Mona's reputation, Chen Huaian directly grabbed the hand of Ke Qing who was trying to pretend to be blind and leave. "Hey, a big guy like me is standing here without even saying hello. Is this the etiquette that Qixing should have towards foreign envoys?"
"Yeah!" Like a cat frightened by cucumbers, Keqing took the lead in taking her hand out of Chen Huaian's hand, then turned around and looked up at him, pretending to be calm and said: "It's you. I was in a hurry just now and didn't notice that you were here." "It's okay," Chen Huaian didn't pursue it, "I didn't expect you to be here and interested in astrology." "Well... I'm just asking casually. Seeing the future through illusions is too unreal to be taken seriously." Keqing frowned, her eyes wandering, and she stretched out her hand to scratch her pretty red face to relieve her inner embarrassment. "I think so," Chen Huaian followed Ke Qing's words. "When there is friction or unhappiness, it's not about the two of us, right?" "No, I don't know, I don't know about this," Ke Qing became increasingly flustered. Could it be that he was now preparing to take actions corresponding to the divination results? Can't?How can it be so fast? But not ready yet... "Whatever," Chen Huaian shrugged indifferently, "If you confess your love to me and want to be together, I will refuse." Chen Huaian's flirtatious and indifferent words immediately angered Ke Qing, causing her blushing face to turn into an angry one. "Who will confess to you! Don't think that everyone likes you just because you have a good skin! I am not a stranger to you!" Is this textbook tsundere? Like a cat, quite cute. Chen Huaian did not continue on the topic of divination and changed the topic: "By the way, have you come to a conclusion about what happened yesterday? Whose fault is it? No one was notified?" "The investigation is clear," Shi Qing said, calming down her chaotic mood a little when talking about work matters. "After many interviews and investigations, it was finally confirmed that those few are members of the treasure thief group who specializes in extorting foreigners." "When they were arrested and brought to justice, they were still yelling about things like Liyue people not cheating Liyue people, but is it allowed to extort foreigners and ruin Liyue's reputation on the land of Liyue?" "That's right," Chen Huaian also agreed, "Since you have broken the law, you must accept the sanctions of the law obediently. No matter how good the excuses are, no matter how miserable the past is, it is not a reason to escape the sanctions of the law." After finishing speaking, Chen Huaian changed the topic again and said: "So you misunderstood my apology? You just wanted to fool me like this." When she heard this, Qing Qing subconsciously took half a step back. The scene where she was so aggressive and pointing a sword at Chen Huaian yesterday came to her mind. But now that I think about it, it just makes Yu Hengxing's pretty face that has not yet cooled down become even more rosy. "Hug, sorry." "What?" Chen Huaian pretended not to hear and leaned over, "Speak louder." "I said I'm sorry!" Keqing took the risk and her voice became louder, "I will compensate you, okay!" "Compensation?" Chen Huaian straightened up, "What kind of compensation? Be clear, I won't accept anything too cheap." "I'll treat you to dinner at Crescent House downstairs at six o'clock." "Not bad," Chen Huaian agreed, "Then I'll look forward to tonight's dinner." Qing Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Chen Huaian agree readily. She thought he would be unyielding and make some excessive demands.
Like giving him a kiss on the face. But no. Keqing left Heyu Teahouse with some worries about gain and loss and went to the General Affairs Department. At this time, as the last lucky audience member's divination ended, Mona's symposium also came to an end, and many spectators began to leave. However, some fans stayed behind and tried to find Mona to ask for her autograph, but Chen Huaian was here. When he saw Mona's embarrassed expression, he took the initiative to rescue Mona as a bodyguard. "Long time no see," Chen Huaian took Mona's soft little hand, "Why did you come to Liyue too?" "Let's have a symposium," Mona smiled, took Chen Huaian's hand and left Heyu Teahouse and went downstairs. "The Steam Bird Newspaper branch here in Liyue invited me over a long time ago, but I found it too troublesome, so I declined." "But these days I am quite bored in Mondstadt by myself. When the delegation from Mondstadt goes to Mondstadt, I will come along with them." Mona didn't know why, but when Chen Huaian didn't come, she had a pretty interesting life on weekdays. Daily research, writing manuscripts, or going to find Keli to fry fish, or going to friends for dinner, etc., are extremely fulfilling. But since Chen Huaian left Mondstadt and lived the same life as before, even if Noel often came over to clean and stay overnight, he still couldn't find the fulfillment he once had. Like something is missing, empty. "Since you are in Liyue, why didn't you go find me yesterday?" "I didn't know you arrived in Liyue. It should be because you didn't come to me. I clearly told Amber that I asked you to come to me after I found you. Didn't she say that?" "No, maybe I forgot," Chen Huaian explained. After all, the fight during the meeting yesterday, the disappointment on the way, and the intimacy at night, it was normal for Amber to forget to tell him about it. While they were talking, the two of them were already on the bustling street downstairs. Chen Huaian looked around and said, "By the way, where do you live now?" "White Horse Reverse Travel," Mona reported her name, "Amber invited me to stay at the Mondstadt Embassy before, but it was somewhat inappropriate for me, a Fontaine native, to stay at the Embassy, so I stayed in the hotel by myself." "Bai Ju is traveling against the odds," Chen Huaian remembered that this hotel was near the entrance archway of Liyue. Yesterday when Lisa and he entered the city, we saw the big signboard of the hotel. So Chen Huaian immediately took Mona's hand and dragged her in the direction of Baiju Nilv, saying: "Let's go to the hotel." "What do you want to do?" Mona protested, "What hotel do you want to go back to in broad daylight?" "Change your clothes. Aren't you hot in such a big robe?" "It's not hot," Mona continued to protest, "We haven't seen each other for so long, why can't you accompany me to visit Liyue Port and make an appointment? Who would go straight to the hotel as soon as we meet?" "I missed you," Chen Huaian continued to grab Mona's hand and pull her hard. Coupled with his noble attire, he looked like a rich villain who raped girls on the street. And at this moment, a familiar, untimely voice sounded again. "Asshole! Let that girl go!" Chapter 169 Ke Qing and Yae Sakura After Keqing left the teahouse, she went to the General Affairs Department and informed the staff on duty, asking them to take Qian Yanjun to investigate the suspected ulterior businessman they had just seen in the teahouse, and then went to Xinyuexuan to make a reservation at six in the evening. Dinner.
For ordinary people, if they want to eat at Xinyue Xuan, they have to make a reservation three months in advance. But for Keqing, who comes from a prominent family and is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, if she wants to have a meal at Xinyue Xuan, she doesn't have to make an early reservation like others, she can arrange it just by telling her. Xinyuexuan always has two or three private rooms that are not open to the public, so that distinguished guests can come unexpectedly for dinner. When facing customers with sufficient status, even Xinyue Xuan, which has a tradition of making reservations, has to open its tight store door and allow dignitaries to come and go at will. Xinyue Xuan specializes in seafood, such as crab roe tofu, golden shrimp balls, moon eggs, golden crabs, sea cucumbers roasted with green onion, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, etc. I naturally ordered one.
