“Didn’t expect I actually slept through it.” Si Fuqing smoothed down her messy strand of hair before walking over. “I just dreamed that I went to war. It felt so real.”

Yu Xiheng’s gaze wavered slightly. “Went to war?”

“Mm. I’ve been studying history, maybe I’ve read too many war records.” Si Fuqing rested her chin in her hand. “Boss, how come Emperor Yin was so powerful?”

“He wasn’t powerful,” Yu Xiheng’s expression was faint. “He had many people helping him. Do you really think the territory of Daxia could be conquered by one man alone, no matter how strong?”

“Of course not.” Si Fuqing said, “But he could command troops, lead soldiers, and so many people were willing to follow him. That itself is a kind of ability.”

“Looks like you really like him.” Yu Xiheng lifted his eyes with a smile. “But what you know of him is just what’s recorded in the history books. How can you be sure what he was truly like?”

“Everyone has flaws.” Si Fuqing said lazily, “I have high standards. There aren’t many who can be my idol, but Emperor Yin is one of them.”

Yu Xiheng gave a soft acknowledgement, his tone unreadable, “Go have some soup to warm yourself.”

“Boss, you’re really good to your employees.” Si Fuqing walked into the kitchen. “I’ll get you a bowl too.”

The man inclined his head slightly.

He leaned back on the sofa, his long legs stretched out, fingertips lightly tapping against the teacup. His expression blurred in the curling tea steam, yet his features seemed all the more striking.

Yu Tang had been eavesdropping from the kitchen the whole time.

The moment Si Fuqing walked in, she straightened up at once.

“Hmph, Qingqing, just now my Third Brother was even asking me about you.” She pouted. “But I didn’t tell him anything.”

Si Fuqing patted her shoulder. “Well done.”

Meanwhile, Feng San finished handling affairs and came in from outside.

He immediately sensed something unusual about Yu Xiheng. “Brother Jiu?”

Even he could feel that his Brother Jiu’s mood was off today.

Yu Xiheng returned to himself and said calmly, “It’s nothing.”

Feng San let out a breath of relief. “I also asked the chef to prepare a recipe to nourish Miss Si.”

It seemed Miss Si would be living here for a long time now, no longer needing to run back and forth.

That fire really had broken out at just the right time.

On the other side, Zuo Corporation.

Both parties were in the middle of signing the contract.

The middle-aged man took the document from his assistant, glanced at it, and frowned. “President Zuo, didn’t you make a mistake here?”

Zuo Xianyu looked it over again, pressed her temples, and gave an apologetic smile. “Sorry, I must have misread it. I’ve been a little tired lately.”

“President Zuo, you really should get more rest.” The man stood up and offered a compliment.
“With someone as young as you, the Zuo family is sure to break into the international market.”

“You flatter me.” Zuo Xianyu walked him out, but her brows furrowed as soon as he left.

How could she have misread something so simple in a commercial agreement? Such a basic mistake.

It seemed she really needed to rest.

So instead of working overtime, Zuo Xianyu returned home.

Zuo Tianfeng was in the living room, on the phone, his expression unpleasant.

“Zuo Tianfeng! Tell me, how exactly are you managing that outsider in your family?!” Pei Xu’s voice was full of rage.
“We agreed—if I helped you, you’d help me become chairman of the Pei family, and in return the Pei family would support the Zuo family. But now?!”

Zuo Tianfeng frowned.
“What do you mean ‘now’? I’ve already helped you. What does this have to do with Si Fuqing? Don’t tell me she can actually help Pei Yan?”

No one knew Si Fuqing better than he did.

Old Master Zuo had once wanted to train her to enter the Zuo Corporation, but it turned out she had no business talent whatsoever. That plan was shelved.

Thankfully, she never did join the company, or the Zuo family might have ended up in someone else’s hands.

With Zuo Xianyu around, Zuo Tianfeng was perfectly at ease.

He beckoned to her. “Xianyu, come sit down. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Zuo Xianyu set down her bag. “Dad, who was on the phone?”

“Pei Xu,” Zuo Tianfeng said casually. “The Pei family’s been fighting over power recently—I’m not sure what’s going on. But can you believe he actually brought up Si Fuqing? As if I don’t know she’s a complete business failure.”

Just as he finished speaking, furious shouting came from the other end of the line.

“Help Pei Yan? She’s not just helping him—dammit, she’s practically gotten him into the top social circle of Sijiucheng!” Pei Xu roared.
“Zuo Tianfeng, the RS Group investment! You didn’t tell me she knew the Duke of Mouston!”

Author’s Notes:

—Many years later—

Third Senior Sister: “Unbelievable! Junior Nine actually knows how to flirt with men now.”

Si Fuqing: “I do not. :）”

Si Fuqing (emphatic): “I was clearly just complimenting a two-dimensional character in a history book!”
