Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Amazing 2_1 Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Amazing 2_1 “I understand.”
Qiao Xiaren glanced once, then leapt down the stairs, her movements smooth from start to finish, very swift.
“What are you doing here?” Si Limo turned back to see her. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he instantly stood in front of her. They began to inspect the surroundings with their backs against each other, their guns seeming ready to fire at any moment.
The atmosphere tensed once again.
“Sniper at one o’clock!”
Si Limo’s sharp eyes spotted the attacking enemy. He moved quickly, sweeping her into his arms with a dance-like spin, one arm holding her tightly at the waist.
In the midst of the spin, the scene looked simply breathtaking.
Qiao Xiaren held her gun high and aimed directly at the enemy’s head, adjusting her aim.
A cold light flashed in his eyes as he raised his hand to fine-tune Qiao Xiaren’s aim. The two hands overlapped. His voice sounded in her ear: “Are you ready? We’re about to shoot.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight movement, and then a gunshot echoed through the hall.
With the lobby now cleared, Si Limo took the gun from her hand and scanned her body, ” Did you get hurt anywhere?”
The combat they just underwent had been truly harrowing. It was the last time he will allow himself to be so soft-hearted. No matter who would plead him later, he would never let her take such risks again.
“No, I’m fine.” Qiao Xiaren responded with a slight smile on her face, choosing to ignore the strange feeling she had from their recent encounter.
“Let’s go.” Seeing that Qiao Xiaren was unharmed, Si Limo’s heart finally fell back into place, his voice tense, “This is the only time, you must never be in such dangerous situations again.”
Qiao Xiaren, of course, knew that he had reached his limit.
“If there’s anything you want to talk about, we can do it back at the military headquarters.” Si Limo glanced at the people not far away, took Qiao Xiaren’s hand, and left. After they left the scene, others stayed back to clean up.
This heart-stopping war had finally dissipated in the midst of gun smoke.
The night grew darker, while the bar became more restless.
Red lights and green liquor, the dazzling lights illuminated the stage, outlining the women on stage even more clearly, their heavy makeup glaringly bright.
Mo Guanyu sat at a booth in the bar, managing a bitter smile as he looked away. None of them resembled her. She could pull off any look effortlessly.
Every version of her was so eye-catching.
Even he himself didn’t know when he had fallen so deeply for her.
Li Li sat beside him, glanced at him a few times, and sighed deeply, unsure of how to offer comfort. That kind of woman indeed attracted attention.
“I’m not even sure anymore, whether choosing you as the leading man was right.” Li Li pushed his empty glass towards the bartender and ordered a blue liquor, “I know Xiaren’s acting skills, you seem to have gotten too absorbed into the role. She can easily separate from the character, while you are being consumed by it.”
Mo Guanyu, looking slightly drunk, his handsome white face flushed, ran a hand through his hair in a gesture of either pain or confusion.
“True … I am not Jun Lin, and she is not Nangong Qin. But I don’t know when exactly, my heart began to secretly love her.”
Li Li fell silent and did not respond.
The chance of Qiao Xiaren being with Mo Guanyu, was practically zero. Putting Si Limo aside, Qiao Xiaren, with her temperament, was not of those who could be easily won over.
