He actually left just like that.

Xuyu was confused for a moment at first, not knowing what to do. But when she came to her senses, she knew what to do without much hesitation.

During this meeting, he seemed quite restrained from beginning to end, just like the impression he had left on her before, even at the last moment when she offended him.

But she still felt that in the end he was actually somewhat irritated by herself.

Since he was so insistent on whether to move out, she decided to obey him. It was not a matter of principle, so there was no need to go against him. She couldn't let this hotel get into trouble because of herself.

Fortunately, she didn't have much stuff, so it didn't take much effort to pack it up. She took her bag and went downstairs, and saw that there was still no one in the lobby. Only Aunt Gao came out again and sat behind the counter. He stood alone in the lobby with his back to her.

Suddenly seeing her appear, Aunt Gao's facial expression suddenly became colorful. She winked and looked as if she was about to come forward, but then she glanced at the figure in front of her and stopped.

Pei Xiaoyuan turned his head, glanced at her, and walked out.

As soon as he left, Aunt Gao felt as if she had been pardoned and hurried to Xuyu impatiently.

"I'm not staying here anymore. I'm leaving tonight. Please settle the rent I owe—"

"I know! That person has just been married!"

Madam Gao turned her head and looked at the figure who was leaving, and asked in a low voice: "Does that person know you? Who is he? At first I thought you had committed a crime and they were here to arrest you. I was so scared that I was thinking about how to send someone to the gate to pass on the news to you. Fortunately, you are not a bad person, otherwise I would really close this place!"

She wasn't exaggerating. Omitting registration and allowing gambling may not seem like a big deal, but if you take it seriously, it's not entirely a small matter. Especially if omitting registration allows someone to commit a crime, the nature of the situation is completely different.

When the people in the hall saw the Jinwu Guards coming, they all dispersed without her having to chase them away, and hurried back to their rooms. She was taught a lesson by the military officer holding the scabbard, who was obviously very dissatisfied with her, and warned that if she did it again, she would be severely punished.

After realizing it wasn't a big deal and feeling relieved, my curiosity naturally arose and I started to inquire about it.

Xuyu looked at Pei Xiaoyuan. He had already walked out and stopped outside the hotel, talking to a short-bearded man who should be his subordinate. He seemed to be giving instructions, and the other party nodded repeatedly. As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at her again, with an expression of impatience on his face.

He had been offended by her, and he forced her to go with him because he was telling Grandpa and Pei Ji what to do. She was afraid that if she kept him waiting for a long time, it would cause him more annoyance, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your care these days, I'll go first!"

She hurriedly bowed to Aunt Gao to express her gratitude, then turned around and quickly walked out of the hotel.

"Liu Sijie will take you there. I have other things to do, so I won't go with you. You should take care of yourself from now on."

As soon as she came out, he said this in a normal tone, and then looked at Liu Bo.

"Don't worry, Si Cheng, I will take good care of Young Master Ye!" Liu Bo said immediately.

He nodded, mounted his horse and rode away without even stopping for a moment, his figure disappearing into the night.

Liu Bo personally led a horse from the guards.

Pei Zhonglang had just said that this man was an old acquaintance of his, and then he gave him some instructions.
