Chapter 757: Chapter 757: The Vicious Woman (3)

"Is there any of his medicine left?"

Xiuyi took Duke Locke’s medicine box and looked inside, "There’s enough for one more week. I’ll prepare some more tomorrow."

"No need," Qian Xueying spoke coldly, "I’ve taken care of him long enough, and I’ve done my duty. Find some slow-acting poison for him, and let him rest in peace. It’ll save us the trouble."

She was talking about a man’s life and death, yet Qian Xueying’s tone was as if she was merely commenting on a distasteful cookie that needed to be thrown away, as if the person lying before her wasn’t a foster father who had shown her great love and raised her as a noble daughter, but just a despised dog.

"Yes, Miss!"

Xiuyi replied softly with his eyelids lowered.

Footsteps sounded outside, and Qian Xueying immediately hid her expression and turned her face to look at the maid who rushed in.

"Quiet down. Daddy has just fallen asleep; don’t wake him."

She looked nothing like the venomous woman from a moment ago, but rather the epitome of a tender-hearted daughter.

"Sorry, Miss," the maid quickly tiptoed and presented the mobile phone to her, speaking softly, "Mr. Will’s call, he said he has something to discuss with you."

A look of joy instantly appeared on Qian Xueying’s face as she snatched the phone.

"Mr. Will, hello, this is Qian Xueying! What can I do for you?"

"Well, the Duke has been deeply grateful for the stab you took for him and doesn’t know how to properly thank you. He asked for my advice, and I was at a loss too, so I decided to just give you a call to see if there’s anything you need?"

Qian Xueying immediately giggled, "You are too kind, making a special call for this. Haven’t I said that the Duke need not worry about this matter? If he really feels bad about it, just invite me to a meal when he has time."

"But the Duke is very busy, and he has to fly abroad tomorrow..." Mr. Will feigned difficulty, "And with your current condition, it’s probably not convenient for you to go out to eat. However, tonight he just happens to have some time."

"Oh, is that so..." Qian Xueying’s eyes were already smiling, "If it’s convenient for the Duke, why doesn’t he come here? We’ve just hired a new chef at the residence, and the food is quite good."

Strike while the iron is hot. Since he’s keen on inviting her to dinner, she must make the most of it before Gan Yuan returns and strive to take their relationship to the next level.

If he agreed to come here, then with just a little manipulation on her part, he would be hers!

Thinking this, Qian Xueying could barely contain her laughter.

Last night’s wound was well worth it. If it could lead to substantial progress with him, then she would endure even more cuts if necessary.

"Isn’t that too much trouble?"

"Not at all. It would be an honor for the entire Duke Residence if the Duke would come. It’s settled then. What time should we expect the two of you?"

"The Duke will be free after 7:30, let’s say 8 o’clock."

"Eight o’clock sharp, I will personally welcome you both at the gate."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Mr. Will."

After a sweet farewell, Qian Xueying handed the receiver back to the maid as soon as she heard the call end and excitedly turned to look at Xiuyi.

"Did you hear that? He’s coming over for dinner tonight."

"Congratulations, Miss," Xiuyi said with a smile.

"It’s too early for congratulations!"

Qian Xueying glanced at the maid standing beside her and made a subtle gesture to Xiuyi.
