After hearing her words, Long Yubei started buckling her seatbelt while saying, "You’re my pride, being able to independently solve such a big issue. The WT matter is very challenging for me personally, yet you resolved it just like that. Your husband has no choice but to admire you."
Hearing him compliment her, Gu Lili smiled, "You praising me really makes me unaccustomed to it."
"You’ll get used to it in the future." Long Yubei asked, "Where did you settle Jingsheng?"
"I settled her in Gu Xichen’s private estate, he himself still doesn’t know about it."
"He will definitely come running to you."
Gu Lili raised her phone, "Just turned it off."
"Like husband, like wife."
When Gu Xichen got off work and came home, everything seemed normal until he opened his bedroom door and found Jingsheng sitting on his own sofa.
"I’m no longer X4, I am Jingsheng. Hello Gu Xichen, my Master now is Gu Lili. She asked me to live with you, saying I can protect you. My current mission is to protect you." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI[F]ire.net
"She didn’t mention this to me."
"Master probably took action first before reporting, fearing you wouldn’t agree. I think her approach is right; with me by your side to protect you, you can relax a bit."
"But..." Gu Xichen looked perplexed, "The things she does also inevitably fall onto my head. Wouldn’t the people from WT think that I am the one who secretly rescued you? Damn it, I need to call her, she can’t set me up !"
Jingsheng smiled slightly, "I just tried, Master turned off her phone."
"Forget it." Gu Xichen took a deep breath, "Since it’s all been resolved, WT wouldn’t dare to make rash moves. If you’re here to protect me, fine, you’ll sleep on the sofa and be on standby 24 hours a day."
"It’s not like sleeping on a sofa is a one or two-day affair. If this continues every day, I don’t want to sleep on the sofa, I want to sleep in a bed."
Gu Xichen’s look was displeased, "If you sleep in the bed, where do I sleep? You don’t expect me to share a bed with you, do you?"
"I’ve seen you naked, what’s wrong with sharing a bed? Are you afraid I’ll make moves on you?" Jingsheng snorted, "I, as a woman, don’t mind it, yet you do."
"Don’t even think about sharing a bed with me." Gu Xichen’s tone was indifferent, "Since Lili sent you to live with me, you have to listen to me, otherwise, you can go right back to her."
Seeing his firm attitude, Jingsheng compromised, "I’ll sleep on the sofa then."
Gu Xichen didn’t say more about it.
However, when it was time to sleep, the thought of having another person in the room made him somewhat restless.
His gaze fell on the woman on the sofa, "Tell me about your life in WT."
"There’s nothing much to say. Every day was training, it’s very dull and painful. Assassins can only form relationships with those of the same kind, and if they have a child, the child also undergoes training from a young age. Hence, no assassin there wants to have children because they don’t want their children to live the same life."
"Is the sexual life between men and women chaotic there?"
Jingsheng knew what he was implying, "Quite chaotic, female killers take turns sleeping with the several leaders, but not me. Seeing those pigheads makes me lose my appetite, let alone sleep with them. However, the Boss of the WT organization does indeed look quite easy on the eyes, but he doesn’t touch the women within the organization."
