Perhaps it could be due to failing a mission, Mu Yuan felt unhappy about everything. Hearing kind words from others made him feel even unhappier. He kept thinking deep down, You’re saying this on purpose, aren’t you?
You’re saying it on purpose, huh?
Right, you must have said that on purpose.
I must fight back. I don’t want to seem useless!
“Yes!”
Jack was very satisfied with that. Mu Yuan humphed coldly. “You took so long to capture Black Rose, and there was no news about it. Don’t be full of big talk.”
“Xiao Qiao has fitted in. With her skills, she can fight with the ladies in there. If you give her three to five years, she might even rise in power and replace Black Rose. Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big issue.”
Mu Yuan thought about it, Something’s not right…
“Hold up. I was the one who arranged for Xiao Qiao to mix herself in. Why is she reporting to you?”
Shouldn’t she be reporting to him instead?
Jack laughed. His voice was really deep and hoarse, so when he laughed, it was really sexy. Mu Yuan’s heart melted. He loved hearing Jack’s laughter the most. He was very proud of himself too as the number of people in this world who had heard Jack’s laughter could be counted with the fingers on one hand.
He laughed so heartily. He wished he could fly to him.
“Are you changing your nationality? If you change it, I will let her report to you.”
“Get lost!”
Jack laughed lightly. “Something so huge has happened. If I were her, I wouldn’t stay. I’d definitely leave! For all this time, I’ll also be lying low. If I know anything, I’ll inform you immediately. Tell Ye Tingjun not to take any rash actions easily. Don’t mess up my plan.”
“I got it.” Mu Yuan was not very pleased. “Be careful! Bye.”
“Hold on!” Jack yelled for him hurriedly.
Mu Yuan said, “What…”
Jack said, “We just made a phone call, and all we talked about was work. That’s not very right, boyfriend.”
“Who’s your boyfriend?”
“If you want to be the girlfriend… I don’t mind.” Jack laughed lightly. Again, it was with his deep and hoarse voice.
Mu Yuan’s heart really melted. “Y-You… Go away… Go away…”
“Do you miss me already?”
Mu Yuan took a deep breath. “No, bye.”
“Hold on.”
“You’re so annoying.”
“I miss you.”
Mu Yuan was speechless.
He held his phone and looked outside discreetly. The army boys were training, and no one noticed what their officer was doing upstairs. He felt a little guilty, still.
His face burned.
Jack seemed to be teasing him. He smiled and said, “You hang up first.”
“Oh.” Mu Yuan pursed his lips. “I have a break next month.”
He paused. “Five days!”
Jack replied happily. “When?”
“End of the month.”
“Great, got it. I’ll arrange for it and inform you by then.”
“Uh huh.”
Mu Yuan hung up the phone. They were just talking about work, why did he talk about being on break?
Mu Yuan regained his senses. Hold on. Didn’t I promise my family that I’d return home and spend time with them when I’m on break?
But… What did I just say?
Mu Yuan facepalmed. You’re so silly.
Is it too late now to regret?
Rose Castle.
Tong Hua had been worried about them. For the whole day, there was no news from them, and that really worried him. He heard the sound of a car, and he ran out. Burger followed him as he ran out while wagging its tail. It looked really obedient. The pet and the owner guarded the door.
“Mommy…” Tong Hua waved and ran over to hug Shen Qianshu.
Shen Qianshu bent forward and hugged him. “Miss you so much, babe.”
