Of course, Ayu came to see Xu Qian, so she asked Baodie to comb her yesterday's bun so that Xu Qian remembered that he had been riding a horse with her holding her.

But the truth is often hard to tell directly. Fortunately, it’s time to have lunch at the beginning of the day, so Ayu raised his head and acted coquettishly at his father: “Dad, the dishes cooked in the kitchen today are not as good as my taste. Can I eat them with you?”

After these two days, Cao Tingan has become accustomed to his younger daughter's changes and smiled and said, "Of course, I'll let the kitchen make it for you right away."

But Ayu did not answer his father first, but looked at Xu Qian and asked happily: "Did the fifth cousin visit our house?"

The little girl had a smile on her almond eyes, innocent and innocent, and did not get Cao Ting'an's conceit. Xu Qian's expression was slightly slower and said, "I have talked to the Marquis about some serious matters and are about to leave now."

Ayu was surprised, but time couldn't tolerate her thinking too much. When she found that Xu Qian was about to turn around again, Ayuqing couldn't help but run to him and sincerely persuaded him: "It's noon. Will the fifth cousin stay with me and my father? Yesterday you gave me flying catkins. I don't have any gifts to give you back, so I had to borrow my father's kitchen to express my gratitude. I hope the fifth cousin will not be disgusted."

Xu Qian is nineteen years old and has an official position like his elder brother. Ayu feels that she doesn’t have many opportunities to meet Xu Qian, so she must cherish the opportunity to meet each time and try to say a few words to him.

Xu Qian really didn't need the little girl to give him any gifts, but compared to Cao Ting'an's arrogance, Ayu used a lunch as a gift, and this simple gratitude immediately became cute. Moreover, Cao Ting'an seemed to insist on returning him a valuable gift, so if he accepted Ayu's gift, Cao Ting'an would not be able to carry any treasure guns anymore.

"good."

Xu Qian responded lightly, turned around and clasped his fists at Cao Ting'an: "I'm disturbing the marquis."

Cao Tingan smiled indifferently. He didn't give him any face when treating Xu Qian, so his daughter agreed to invite Xu Qian sweetly. What is this not coveting her daughter?

But it’s good to keep Xu Qian for dinner. After the meal, he brought the spear. Xu Qian had to ask for it even if he didn’t want it. In this way, his daughter would not owe Xu Qian a favor.

"Fifth Master, please, please." In order to send out the gun, Cao Ting'an temporarily changed his name to Xu Qian.

Xu Qian glanced at him and thought that Cao Ting'an wanted to maintain his steady image as a strict father in front of his daughter.

After successfully leaving someone, Ayu was very happy and followed Xu Qian obediently.

Cao Tingan took two steps before thinking of his daughter. When he turned around, he saw that his daughter was so close to Xu Qian like a daughter-in-law. Cao Tingan was unhappy and said to his daughter, "Ayu, Daddy wants to entertain your fifth cousin, and he has no time to accompany you. In this way, go find your elder brother, he shouldn't have eaten yet."

Is this guard against him?

A sneer flashed through Xu Qian's eyes.

The plan failed, and Ayu suddenly became lost. But looking at his majestic father, Ayu didn't dare to persist, so he lowered his head and whispered: "Forget it, I'd better go find my aunt. My elder brother will be on the job tomorrow. Today is his last day off. I don't want to cause trouble for him."

After saying that, Ayu forced a smile and saluted Xu Qian: "Fifth cousin sits slowly, I'll take my leave first."

But she was really reluctant to leave. Before leaving, she quickly looked at Xu Qian. When she met Xu Qian's black eyes, she panicked again and hurriedly walked towards the way she came.

When I first left, I was in a hurry and didn't walk far, Ayu's pace became slower and slower.

Cao Ting'an and Xu Qian both understood what the little girl was looking forward to.

Cao Tingan couldn't help but feel soft when he looked at his daughter's pitiful back. His daughter finally stopped being afraid of him and ran over to have a meal with him. Now that he drove his daughter away, his daughter turned back to being timid and cowardly again, what should he do?

Xu Qian was also a little hesitant. She was so eager to have dinner with her father, but was driven away by her father because of his presence.

Just as Xu Qian wanted to say that he didn't mind sitting with Ayu, Cao Ting'an's warning eyes suddenly came to his mind.

Xu Qian was silent.

Cao Tingan had already suspected that he had ulterior motives for Ayu. At this moment, he really called Ayu back. What would Cao Tingan think?

Therefore, Xu Qian, as if he couldn't guess Ayu's thoughts, continued to walk towards the hall as if nothing had happened.

Cao Tingan is not as free and easy as Xu Qian, after all, that is his daughter!

When Ayu had already walked to the corner of the corridor and when Ayu looked back reluctantly, Cao Ting'an finally couldn't stand it anymore. He raised his hand to strike at his daughter, and smiled generously: "Forget it, Ayu is back. Anyway, your fifth cousin is not an outsider, so he won't mind you eating with us."

A Yu was in a state of great enthusiasm and asked with a crisp voice: "Is it really OK?"

Cao Tingan suddenly felt sad and moved. When his daughter thought of him so much, he would treat his daughter better.

"Come on!" Cao Tingan smiled more naturally.

Ayu immediately walked back, his steps were light, and his skirt rose and fell with his pace, like a beautiful pink butterfly.

Cao Tingan thought that as long as his daughter was happy, nothing else mattered.

"Fifth Uncle, don't you mind?" Backing to the two tall men, Ayuxian asked Xu Qian shyly.

Xu Qian shook his head, politely and alienated: "I will drink with the Marquis, and the fourth girl will do whatever she wants."

A different girl might be so angry that Xu Qian's attitude would be frustrated, but Ayu has experienced Xu Qian's passion under his indifferent appearance, so no matter how cold Xu Qian is, she doesn't mind.

The three of them entered the hall. The rosewood Eight Immortals Table had been set up. Cao Ting'an sat in the main seat in the east and asked Xu Qian to sit opposite him.

Xu sat down silently.

"Ayu sits here." Cao Tingan pointed to the seat in the north and said.

Ayu sit down obediently.

Cao Ting'an ordered the manager to serve the food.

After a moment, the maids walked in with plates of carefully prepared dishes in the kitchen and arranged them one by one. The last four maids each held a jar of wine.

Cao Ting'an said to Xu Qian: "I heard that Wu Ye has a good alcohol tolerance. Today we will stop drunk."

Xu Qian refused to comment.

If you are humble and unable to drink, that is something that only civil servants like to do, or it is really not possible.

Xu Qian knew that Cao Tingan was provocative, so how could he show weakness?

Without even taking the chopsticks, the two of them started to drink.

The fine wine prepared by Cao Ting'an was full of strong wine. The lid of the jar was opened and the mellow strong wine was poured into the bowl. The two of them drank only one bowl at each other and the whole Eight Immortals table was filled with a strong smell of wine.

Ayu likes the smell of wine very much, she thinks it tastes very mellow.

But her body is particularly afraid of alcohol, so she gets drunk after taking a sip. It is not much different from drinking too much.

"Dad." He was dizzy and while he was still awake, Ayu called out with a misty eye.

Cao Ting'an was drinking but didn't hear it.

Xu Qian heard this and looked at Ayu. Seeing Ayu's face blushing like a cloud, Xu Qian was so shocked that he forgot to pour wine again.

Cao Tingan was still raising his head to drink wine. Ayu had no choice but to turn to Xu Qian: "Fifth cousin, I, I can't do it..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell to one side.

Xu Qian reacted quickly enough, and suddenly left the seat, grabbed Ayu's arms in time.

“Bold!”

Cao Tingan, who put down the wine bowl, was about to see how Xu Xiaowu was drinking, but he saw that Xu Qian was so brave that he was light under his nose. His thin daughter suddenly turned angry and rushed towards Xu Qian.

Xu Qian said with a serious expression: "Mr. Marquis, the fourth girl said she was not good enough. Look at her face."

Cao Tingan lowered his head, and then he realized that his daughter's face was flushed and her almond eyes were closed.

Why is this happening?

Cao Tingan first remembered the serious illness his daughter had when she was young. Did her daughter suddenly have some emergency?

Because Ayu didn't drink at all, both Xu Qian and Cao Ting'an believed that Ayu suddenly fainted was due to a physical problem.

After taking over his daughter, Cao Tingan sternly ordered General Manager Liu to go and invite the doctor.

After giving the order, Cao Tingan hurriedly carried his daughter to his room.

He had no intention of entertaining Xu Qian, nor did he explain to his servants. Xu Qian thought about it and decided to stay in the hall and wait for news. If Ayu had been ill for a long time, then her fainting today would have nothing to do with him. If Ayu fainted because of poisoning, Xu Qian felt that it was necessary to explain clearly and clear his suspicion.

Cao Ting'an put his daughter on the bed. Hearing that his daughter was breathing evenly, he seemed to have not suffered from any torture from illness. He tried to gently pat his daughter's hot face: "A Yu, A Yu..."

Ayu seemed to hear someone calling her.

Unable to open her eyes, her drunken dizziness made her feel like she was back in the evening in Fengyang City. Is the man calling her on her head Xu Qian?

Ayu couldn't help but hug the big hand that patted her face, and hugged her very dependently. She tried hard with her two small hands together, as if he would run away if he didn't do this.

"Fifth Master." He hugged him, Ayu murmured with satisfaction.

Cao Tingan didn't hear it clearly, but the soft ending sound was very similar to "Dad".

My daughter must be calling her father.

Cao Tingan was so soft-hearted that his daughter was too timid in the past, so he thought that her daughter was only afraid of him, but she didn't expect that her daughter longed for his fatherly love so much.

"Ayu is not afraid. The doctor will arrive in a while. With his father there, he will be fine." Cao Ting'an leaned over and maintained a low waist position with his back on his back, so that his daughter could hold his hand.

Ayu fell asleep completely.

The little girl's face was red and her mouth was slightly raised, not knowing what she was laughing at.

Cao Tingan never cried in his life. When his mother died, he started a family and started a career. It was sad. But a man would not cry easily. He did not allow himself to cry like his second and third brothers.

But at this moment, he was so moved by his daughter's strong dependence on him that he wanted to cry.

Two quarters of an hour later, when Cao Tingan bent down and his entire shoulder was numb, the doctor finally arrived in anger.

Cao Tingan tried to pull and took action, but his daughter frowned, and Cao Tingan couldn't bear to continue.

So he moved stiffly into the bed, knelt on his side of his daughter, watching the doctor lift his daughter's eyelids for a while, pinched his daughter's mouth open, and finally took the pulse.

After watching and hearing everything, the doctor began to ask about the situation before Miss Cao Ting'an fainted.

Cao Ting'an said truthfully.

The doctor smiled and said, "As expected, the marquis doesn't have to worry. The fourth girl is drunk because she can't smell the alcohol."
