Chapter 702: Chapter 565 Outrageous
Su Mo silently ate his slice of bread. Even though it was nothing special, it tasted exceptionally delicious today.
“Is that enough? If not, I’ll get you more,”
asked Qian Chengxue considerately.
Su Mo replied cheerfully. It was then that he noticed Qian Chengxue sitting sideways, her white blouse gaping slightly to reveal a tantalizing cleavage. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⦿fire.net
For a moment, Su Mo’s heartbeat quickened and he felt a ticklish sensation in his nostrils.
He quickly averted his eyes and adjusted his mindset.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Su Mo was slightly startled, looking at Qian Chengxue with a puzzled face. Who could be looking for her this early in the morning?
Seeing Su Mo’s expression, Qian Chengxue suddenly felt as if she had been caught in the act. With an awkward tone, she said softly, “Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t know who it is either.”
She, too, was utterly puzzled. Usually, nobody visited her, so this was somewhat abnormal.
“Cough, no, I didn’t mean that.”
Su Mo hurriedly explained.
“I’ll go see who it is.”
Immediately, Qian Chengxue stood up and walked toward the door. She reached the main door and opened the electronic peephole.
However, as soon as she saw who was knocking, her pupils dilated, and she ran back in a panic.
“What’s wrong? Who is it, why are you so nervous?”
Su Mo was completely bewildered. He had been confronted by a group of people early in the morning and hadn’t been so flustered.
Qian Chengxue spoke in a somewhat disordered tone.
“Who’s there that I need to hide from?”
Su Mo’s heart sank a little. He wasn’t afraid of anyone.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but my father has come over.”
Qian Chengxue had no choice but to bluntly tell Su Mo.
After hearing this, Su Mo suddenly stood up, losing all his previous disdain. He looked around and asked, “Then where should I hide, the bathroom maybe?”
As he spoke, Su Mo made to run towards the bathroom.
Qian Chengxue quickly grabbed Su Mo.
Saying this, Qian Chengxue hurriedly pulled Su Mo into her room.
Su Mo quickly surveyed Qian Chengxue’s room before fixing his gaze on the space under the bed. He got down and started crawling under it.
Qian Chengxue began to object as Su Mo crawled under the bed, but it was too late—Su Mo had already adeptly squeezed in.
The knocking continued incessantly outside.
So Qian Chengxue, without further ado, ran to the door.
Under the bed, Su Mo crawled further in. He felt something soft and reached out instinctively, realizing it felt like clothing.
He grabbed a handful to examine and was instantly dumbfounded.
“Pearls, black stockings, white stockings, lace…”
At that moment, Su Mo carefully looked around and felt his face heat up. He realized he was surrounded by lingerie, which seemed quite new, as if it had only been worn once.
He quickly understood why the room was so tidy; it turned out everything was stashed under the bed.
At this time, Qian Chengxue walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened it.
Ye Tian stood alone at the doorway. As they looked at each other, the atmosphere became excruciatingly awkward.
Finally, Qian Chengxue broke the silence, “Father, come in and have a seat.”
Ye Tian nodded slightly and then walked in.
Looking around the sparsely furnished room, he spoke with some emotion, “You don’t have to live so sparingly.”
Qian Chengxue replied softly.
“If you’re short of money, I can have someone give you some.”
“No need, Father, I’m doing well.”
Qian Chengxue responded, slightly unaccustomed. In her memory, Ye Tian rarely communicated with her . If they ever had, it was a long time ago, and she couldn’t recall it clearly.
At this moment, Ye Tian’s gaze inadvertently swept over the dining table, noticing there were two sets of used utensils.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked towards the bathroom and the bedroom.
“Father, did you need something from me?”
When Qian Chengxue saw Ye Tian’s eyes drift toward the room, she realized what he might be thinking and quickly tried to divert his attention.
Ye Tian sighed deeply when Qian Chengxue questioned him, then spoke up, “The situation with the family is not optimistic, facing heavy losses in both finances and personnel, and our strategic policies have been thwarted. I know I shouldn’t be discussing this with you because the family hasn’t been very kind to you.”
Qian Chengxue bowed her head slightly, biting her lip.
“Actually, if I could, I’d prefer not to talk about these things when I see you. I’d rather talk about happier matters. After all, I didn’t spend much time with you growing up, and now you’ve grown up so fast,”
Ye Tian said wearily.
“It’s okay, I’m used to it. Did something happen for you to come see me, Father?”
Qian Chengxue inhaled deeply and asked. She did understand Ye Tian to some extent; he was a man of principles. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t come to see her.
After all, when her older brother Ye Wuheng was incarcerated by the Black and White Organization, he hadn’t intervened.
“It’s about the upcoming exploration mission.”
Ye Tian spoke humbly.
Qian Chengxue was quite surprised. Just for an exploration mission, to make her father take it so seriously?
Ye Tian noticed Qian Chengxue’s puzzled look and began to explain.
“This is not just any exploration. If it were, I wouldn’t have come to you specially. According to unofficial sources, the star zone we’re going to explore is extremely rich in resources, and the profits could be very high. The Black Brilliance might have to return early to liquidate the acquired resources for a swift rearmament. If we miss this opportunity, we’ll fall further behind the times.”
