I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 961

"So, you came to see me so late just for this?" Chen Mo frowned slightly.

"Mr. Chen invited me to drink last night, it's only polite for me to return the favor, otherwise I'd be breaking the rules, wouldn't I?" Xu You tilted his head and said, "Is it inconvenient for Mr. Chen, or do you have other things to attend to?"

I'm indeed quite busy, I have a new friend here...

Just as Chen Mo was about to refuse, Xu You squeezed in through the door crack.

Seeing Li Yuan, Xu You was surprised and said, "General Li is here too? It's so late, why aren't you resting and what are you doing in Mr. Chen's room?"

"I..."

Li Yuan's gaze flickered, explaining, "I'm here to report work, to confirm the arrangements with Mr. Chen about after landing tomorrow."

"Have you finished reporting?"

"Yes, I have."

For some reason, in front of Mr. Xu, Li Yuan always felt a bit guilty, as if those deep eyes could see through everything, leaving no room for secrets.

"Perfect, stay and have a drink with us." Xu You walked to the table, put down a wine pot, and somehow produced three cups, "Just the two of us would be a bit dull; more people could make it livelier."

"But we're landing early tomorrow, won't this affect work?" Li Yuan hesitated.

Do you still care about work?

If I hadn't come over, you two might have been ensnared by now!

Xu You rolled his eyes inwardly and shook his head, "That's exactly why we should relax a bit beforehand. Don't worry, these are just ordinary wines, they won't get you drunk. Once we land in Tiannan State, there won't be such leisure."

"Besides..."

Xu You paused, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, and said softly, "When I'm alone in the room, I have all kinds of thoughts. I can't sleep without a bit of wine, so just think of it as keeping me company."

Chen Mo and Li Yuan exchanged a glance, it seemed Mr. Xu was quite heartbroken.

"Sir, do you think..."

"Alright, since you're here, let's have a few drinks."

"But let's agree beforehand, we'll stop after these two pots and go to sleep."

Chen Mo glanced at the sky, it seemed to be around 7 p.m.; the latest we'd be done in about a quarter of an hour, plenty of time.

As a superior, he should care for his subordinates' feelings.

However, he forgot that Mr. Xu was one of the Tusi's people. Even with troubles, he should've sought Ye Zi'e, another woman, not him, a Fire Department Thousand Households.

"Thank you, sir."

Xu You's lips curled into a smile.

Although restricted by the red silk, she couldn't act rashly, but she could subtly influence thoughts with soul power, making it hard for others to notice the illogic in what she said.

"Come, let me offer a toast to you first, sir."

"Alright."
