Shadow Heir II: Dark Glory - Chapter 65

The video was taken from a nearby municipal surveillance camera, with very clear audio. It was a mystery how Li Qingchen had gotten his hands on it.

“Mu Qianyu is my good friend. If you want to bully her, I won’t allow it.”

“As long as you stop troubling her, I am willing to apologize to you.”

“…”

Listening to this series of conversations between Su Wuji and Bai Xuyang, Mu Qianyu’s gaze focused slightly, a glimmer of light dancing in her eyes.

“He was actually willing to apologize for me…” Mu Qianyu’s red lips parted slightly, her eyes shimmering.

Li Qingchen said, “Yes, Miss. For men of their age, face is more important than anything, yet he was willing to bow his head to Bai Xuyang…”

In fact, Su Wuji’s behavior was even more touching than if he had simply beaten Bai Xuyang up!

“Mm.” Mu Qianyu responded softly and continued watching the video.

Immediately after, she subconsciously clenched her fists tight. Because she clearly saw Qin Guilin kick Su Wuji! And Young Master Su, famous for his arrogance, was kicked back a step and actually didn’t fight back!

Mu Qianyu felt as if her throat was blocked by some emotion; there were things she wanted to say, but she couldn’t say them at all.

Then, she let out a cry of alarm, covering her mouth uncontrollably! Because a tragic car accident suddenly occurred.

After landing, Su Wuji immediately shouted for Xiao Pang, and together they jumped from the bridge, over ten meters high, disregarding the danger to save people! In the subsequent video, the two cars sank to the bottom, and Su Wuji disappeared for several minutes.

During these few minutes, in the huge chairman’s office, it seemed even the sound of breathing could not be heard.

Finally, when Su Wuji’s head broke the surface, Mu Qianyu let out a long breath. Her palms were already full of sweat!

Mu Qianyu continued to watch the video, letting tears flow down her exquisite cheeks, wetting the clothes on her chest, yet she had no intention of wiping them away. When she saw Su Wuji wring out his clothes, only for them to turn blood red, her tears surged even more violently!

After the video finished playing, Mu Qianyu immediately dragged the progress bar to the beginning and watched it again from the start.

Li Qingchen looked at Mu Qianyu’s tear-streaked face and sighed softly. He had watched Mu Qianyu grow up and knew that his young miss had a stubborn nature; she had never cried so uncontrollably in her life. Shaking his head, Li Qingchen said nothing more and quietly closed the door as he left.

After an unknown amount of time, having watched the video at least ten times, Mu Qianyu sniffled and came back to her senses. She finally understood why that senior who never praised anyone suddenly said, “That kid is really good.” She must have witnessed all this with her own eyes and been shaken by this young man.

Walking to the mirror in the bathroom, Mu Qianyu realized her light makeup was ruined, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen from crying. She turned on the cold water and carefully washed her face clean.

Then, Mu Qianyu looked at the unparalleled beauty in the mirror, remained silent for a few seconds, then smiled gently and said to herself:

“Su Wuji, oh Su Wuji, do you think I’m too ambitious and definitely don’t want to get involved in romance, so even though you did so much for me, you won’t let me know?”

“A man like you… really makes one feel conflicted… so annoying…”

After smiling and saying a few words to the mirror, Mu Qianyu’s tears flowed again.

She calmed her emotions, iced her eyes with cold water, and the redness subsided a bit.

After a while, Mu Qianyu walked out of the bathroom, opened the chat dialog with “Turkey-Flavored Crispy Rice,” and typed a line

I know everything about this afternoon. Thank you for everything you did for me.

Thinking about it, Mu Qianyu didn’t send it. Instead, she deleted the line and retyped

Inviting Maxwell and Bikang Group, helping me stop Bai Xuyang… I don’t know how to repay you. How about you give me some suggestions?

However, her finger hovered over the send button several times, but Mu Qianyu finally didn’t send the message. She had never expressed her emotions like this before.

She deleted the line again. Even though her heart held a thousand words, they eventually turned into three words in the dialog box

What’re you doing?

After sending this message, Mu Qianyu kept looking at her phone, waiting for a reply. But after ten minutes, Su Wuji’s message still hadn’t come through.

“That guy must be playing mahjong.”

Mu Qianyu decided to send a message to Park Yanxi as well

Sister Yanxi, I want to chat with you.

In the past, when she had something on her mind, Mu Qianyu would always talk to Park Yanxi. And today, the weight on her mind was heavier than ever before.

However, after waiting another ten minutes, Park Yanxi didn’t reply either.

“What is everyone doing…”

Mu Qianyu mumbled, looked at the completely dark sky outside, picked up her car keys, and walked out the door. She planned to go directly to the Hubin Branch to pour her heart out to Park Yanxi!

Meanwhile, in the villa by Yunyan Lake, Su Wuji had finished his shower and was sitting cross-legged on the living room sofa.

This guy was carelessly shirtless, wearing only a pair of large shorts, happily watching TV. His phone was tossed aside charging, and he hadn’t had time to see Mu Qianyu’s message.

Park Yanxi also walked out of the master bedroom’s bathroom, carrying a medicine kit downstairs. She had just finished showering, and her hair wasn’t dry yet. The black, shiny strands were still damp, clipped up with a fishbone clip, revealing her smooth, delicate profile and fair, slender neck.

Whether a girl’s neck is long enough adds a lot to her overall temperament. Park Yanxi’s neck was exactly like that, straight without leaning forward, her skin delicate and smooth, with almost no visible pores.

Su Wuji had always wanted to lean in and gently rub his stubble against her neck. However, he never dared.

Park Yanxi wore a tight black T-shirt that clung to her, and on her lower body, a pair of loose white shorts that didn’t even reach mid-thigh. Her neckline was tight against her chest, revealing no cleavage at all. Even though black had a visual “slimming” effect, Park Yanxi’s chest still gave Su Wuji a sense of volume, especially, when the peaks were right in front of his eyes.

At this moment, Park Yanxi stood in front of Su Wuji. When he looked up, he saw full, round curves; when he looked down, he saw two tender, white, and bouncy long legs. Even if he closed his eyes and looked at nothing, the scent of body wash would drift into his nose.

“It’s late at night; this really makes it hard to stay calm.”

Su Wuji thought to himself, unconsciously bending his waist slightly and grabbing a throw pillow to block his lower abdomen, avoiding Park Yanxi seeing his abnormality.

“I’m applying medicine for you. Bear with it.”

Park Yanxi sat next to Su Wuji, directly pulled his injured hand over, placed it on her thigh, and then took out the alcohol bottle, tweezers, and cotton balls from the medicine kit. The delicate touch from the back of his hand brought Su Wuji pain and pleasure simultaneously.

Whether it was because they were too familiar, or because this kind of close sitting had happened too many times, Park Yanxi didn’t seem to notice that her leg was gently pressed against Su Wuji’s.

Park Yanxi carefully disinfected Su Wuji’s wounds and applied medicinal powder. Seeing him sweating from the pain, she couldn’t help but feel heartache. “Be more careful in the future. Don’t always put yourself in such dangerous situations.”

Su Wuji chuckled. “Yanxi, you’ve reminded me several times. It feels like a wife naggingly caring for her husband.”

Park Yanxi ignored him, head bowed, wrapping thick bandages around his hands like two bear paws. The charm she displayed with her head slightly lowered made Su Wuji feel he couldn’t see enough.

Park Yanxi lightly hit Su Wuji’s arm. “Don’t talk nonsense. You already have Qianyu.”

“When did that happen? How come I don’t know?” Su Wuji raised an eyebrow. “Trust me, before the Mu family gains a firm foothold in the Capital, she will absolutely not date anyone.”

Park Yanxi smiled gently. “That’s not necessarily true.”

Looking at Park Yanxi’s fair chin, Su Wuji suddenly grew bold, reaching out his hand, wanting to lift it.

However, just as Su Wuji’s hand was about to reach its destination, the doorbell suddenly rang!

The curtains in the living room were not drawn. Through the glass door, the two saw a dainty figure standing outside the yard.

It was shockingly… Mu Qianyu!

Su Wuji’s fingers froze instantly at Park Yanxi’s chin!
