117: Chapter 116 Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms 117: Chapter 116 Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms “How could I possibly not show up?
You’re the one who makes my heart race the most.”
“Smooth talker.” Qin Xueqi cursed, but there was a happy smile on her lips.
“No, I need to kill you.” Qin Xueqi suddenly shouted, grabbing Mu Chen’s ear and giving it a hard twist.
“Big brother, I was wrong,” Mu Chen said.
“Beauty, if you don’t let go, I’m not going to be polite anymore, and then let’s see who suffers,” Mu Chen chuckled.
“You win.” Qin Xueqi completely gave in and let go of Mu Chen’s ear before promptly saying so.
“Heh, daring to pinch my ear, I’ll make you pay the price.”
But Mu Chen had already made his move.
Qin Xueqi also started to feel uneasy.
“Do you realize your mistake?”
“I swear I’m definitely going to kill you.”
“Still don’t know what you did wrong?”
“I know I did wrong.”
“That’s more like it.
Come over here, I’m taking you somewhere.”
“You’ll see when we get there,” Mu Chen said mysteriously, then made his way to the front of the car.
Although Qin Xueqi didn’t know what to expect, she was very much looking forward to it and quickly made her way to the front of the car as well and sat down.
Someone’s rich – what a treat for us,” Mu Chen said with a smile, driving away from the place.
Before long, Mu Chen drove to a beach in Tianhai City.
It was quite remote, and late at night, there was not a soul in sight during the entire drive.
“Rascal, what are you bringing me here for?” Qin Xueqi spoke with a hint of shyness, assuming Mu Chen brought her here to play in the water and take a walk to relax.
Even though it was late at night, she wasn’t afraid with Mu Chen there.
“Have you ever heard a saying?”
“Spring blossoms,” Mu Chen said with a chuckle.
“What does that mean?” Qin Xueqi asked confusedly.
“It means what you’re thinking.”
“I don’t like it here.”
“It’s fine, you’ll get used to it.”
So that was your purpose bringing me here, you bad man.”
“Heh, girls don’t love a man unless he’s a little bad.”
Unintentionally, it was already past two in the morning.
The two walked on the beach and eventually sat down, with Qin Xueqi leaning happily against Mu Chen.
Can we go back now?” Mu Chen said with a helpless expression.
Originally, after a two-hour battle, he planned to drive back, but Qin Xueqi insisted on staying.
She said they should walk on the beach, as it was beautiful.
“Not enough, it will never be enough.”
“Beauty Xueqi, I really have to go.
It’s late, and my wife will kill me if I don’t get home.”
“You still know where home is?
Knowing home, yet you still brought me here to do bad things.”
“That doing bad things is important; it must be the first priority.
But since that’s settled, let’s go back!”
“Heh,” Mu Chen laughed, immediately picked up Qin Xueqi, and left.
“Jerk, let me down, I haven’t said I’m leaving yet.”
“Why are you taking a walk so late at night?
Let’s do it together some other day.
We can have our spring blossoms here during the day.”
“I don’t want to, there are people during the day.”
“That’s even better.”
Just like that, after a round of banter, they quickly drove away, but after Mu Chen dropped Qin Xueqi off, he directly drove back to the villa.
Although he had a dispute with Liu Yuxi, he would still take on the responsibility of protecting her, especially since the tumult in Tianhai City was only just beginning.
Once Mu Chen returned, he immediately went upstairs to sleep without another word, marking the end of the day.
But as soon as he lay down, he remembered that the issue with the Qian Family hadn’t been fully dealt with, so he immediately called Long Ying to check on the situation.
“Boss, there’s no reaction from the Qian Family,” Long Ying answered the call and said seriously.
What does that mean?”
“I don’t know; they might resist or they might think they are not afraid of our Emperor Palace.”
Keep an eye on them and let me know if there are any movements.”
“Yes, but boss, I just received a report.
The news about us taking out those child abductors has spread throughout Tianhai City, and it’s even stirred up Yundu.
It seems the Dragon Slayer Association has sent people.”
If we’re upright, we don’t fear them.
Without evidence, even if they summon the Heavenly King’s father, it’s useless.”
“Haha, boss, does that mean we can fight them?”
“If you think you can take them, go ahead.”
I’ll make sure those rookies know what the rules are.”
“Just don’t go too far.”
“Then, I’m hanging up.”
“Wait, boss, does Qin Xueqi have any sisters?
Introduce one to me; I’m still single.”
The next morning, Mu Chen got up as usual and went downstairs, but upon arriving, he found only the housekeeper eating, and Liu Yuxi was nowhere to be seen.
“Auntie Wu, where’s Yuxi?
She didn’t go to work this early in the morning, did she?” Mu Chen asked Auntie Wu directly.
“The young miss left early in the morning, in a hurry and looked rather pale, seemingly after receiving a phone call,” Auntie Wu said with a worried expression.
“A phone call, pale face…
did she eat breakfast?”
“How can she not eat even if there’s a big issue?
She thinks she’s made of iron!” Mu Chen spoke with some anger.
“This is the first time I’ve seen the young miss looking so gloomy; something must have happened.
Sir, please pay extra attention to the young miss today!”
And Auntie Wu, prepare a breakfast for me within five minutes.
I’ll take it to her.”
