Shadow Heir II: Dark Glory - Chapter 66

Upon seeing Mu Qianyu, Park Yanxi was clearly very surprised. She immediately knocked Su Wuji’s finger away from her chin, put on her slippers, and ran to open the door.

“Qianyu, what are you doing here?” she asked, seemingly pleasantly surprised.

Officer Park’s face was slightly warm, and her earlobes were red; she truly looked a bit like a thief with a guilty conscience.

Mu Qianyu’s smile was quite natural. “Sister Yanxi, I sent messages to both you and Wuji, but neither of you replied. I guessed you must be busy with something else.”

“Not really busy. After showering, I didn’t check my phone; I’ve been cleaning Wuji’s hand wounds,” Park Yanxi felt the more she explained, the worse it sounded.

Just a man and a woman in this room, both freshly showered! Sitting so close, wearing so little! Su Wuji was shirtless and reaching out to lift her chin! Qianyu must have seen it all!

If Su Wuji ever came here again, he would have to be fully dressed! The more Park Yanxi thought about it, the more her face burned!

But Su Wuji’s skin was much thicker than Park Yanxi’s. He didn’t care at all about being shirtless; after all, Mu Qianyu had seen him like this last time too.

The guy asked with a smile, “Qianyu, what are you doing here?”

Anyway, adults don’t make choices. Letting Mu Qianyu get used to our future mode of interaction early on isn’t a bad thing!

Mu Qianyu looked at Su Wuji’s hands, wrapped like bear paws, a flicker of strange emotion flashing in her eyes. “How did you hurt your hands?”

Su Wuji grinned. “Hey, this little injury is just an everyday occurrence.”

Mu Qianyu stared carefully at those hands, then looked up again, gazing directly into Su Wuji’s eyes. “It hurts a lot, right?” Deep in her eyes, crystalline starlight seemed to be flickering.

Su Wuji chuckled. “What, does your heart ache for me?”

Mu Qianyu didn’t answer directly either. “Thank you so much for today.”

Seeing this, Park Yanxi said, “You two chat first. I remembered my phone is still charging upstairs. I’ll go get it.”

With that, she hurried upstairs. Judging by her posture, Park Yanxi looked almost like she was fleeing in defeat.

Only two people were left in the living room.

Mu Qianyu looked down again at Su Wuji’s two bear paws. “Whether it was Maxwell Group, Bikang Pharmaceuticals, or… today, thank you.”

For some reason, when she was about to mention Su Wuji apologizing to Bai Xuyang for her, she stopped, feeling the urge to cry again, and had to lower her head to hide it.

At this moment, Park Yanxi reappeared in their field of view. She had actually changed into her police uniform!

“Qianyu, Wuji, I just received a call. There’s a case discussion meeting at the bureau. I’ll go to the office first,” Park Yanxi said.

Mu Qianyu rubbed her reddened eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Sister Yanxi, I actually went to the branch to find you first. They said you took the day off.”

Park Yanxi’s pretty face turned even redder. “The case happened suddenly. I’m leaving… You guys have a good chat!”

Su Wuji grinned. “Yanxi, whenever you lie, your eyes like to glance up and to the left.”

Park Yanxi ignored him and walked briskly towards the door, not giving Su Wuji a chance to get up and stop her!

When she reached the door, she turned back and said, “Qianyu, you’ve been tired all day. Sleep here tonight. I have clean nightgowns in my closet and disposable panties in the drawer; you can change into them… Also, I’ll bring you breakfast tomorrow. The soup dumplings at the bureau gate are especially delicious.”

After finishing this long sentence, Park Yanxi slammed the door shut.

If she could, she really wanted to lock this pair of man and woman in the house!

Lock them in tight for Big Sister!

Mu Qianyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Is Sister Yanxi telling me to spend the night here?”

Su Wuji grinned. “Sounds like it. She worries too much, not even thinking about whether it’s appropriate for an innocent girl like you to sleep here.”

Mu Qianyu: “Then which room do I sleep in?”

Su Wuji: “???”

Seeing Mu Qianyu’s light smile, he realized and asked, “Are you serious?”

Mu Qianyu spread her hands, her expression relaxed and natural. “What does it matter? Anyway, after today’s events, in the eyes of half of Linzhou, we have that kind of relationship. It can’t be explained clearly anymore.”

Su Wuji grinned. “Anyway, there are many rooms here. Pick whichever you want; they all have clean bedding… My bed is the cleanest.”

“Then I’ll sleep in Sister Yanxi’s bed,” Mu Qianyu said. “I’ve slept in the same bed with her before anyway.”

Su Wuji immediately said, “Wow, I really envy you.”

Mu Qianyu stared at him. “Hmm?”

Su Wuji immediately corrected himself. “Ah no, I really envy Yanxi.”

He couldn’t say clearly who he wanted to sleep with first… mainly because both were equally beautiful; choosing one over the other was too difficult.

Mu Qianyu didn’t seem to feel offended. She looked deeply at Su Wuji again and said softly, “Actually, I know what kind of person you are. In front of me, you really don’t need to disguise yourself as a playboy scumbag.”

Su Wuji: “Huh?”

Mu Qianyu: “Still pretending.”

Su Wuji laughed dryly. “I didn’t expect you to discover my true face so quickly. I have to admit, I really am a loving young man who loves his country, his family, and women…”

“That also fits the facts quite well.”

Mu Qianyu got up, poured a glass of water, looked at Su Wuji’s two white bear paws, and placed the glass directly to his lips.

Su Wuji was greatly surprised. “You’re going to feed me?” This action was truly too intimate!

“A grown man, why be so bashful?” Mu Qianyu tilted the glass slightly. “Drink.”

“Oh.”

Su Wuji could only obediently tilt his head back and let Mu Qianyu feed him the water.

Actually, Mu Qianyu felt a strong sense of guilt regarding the injuries on Su Wuji’s hands. If he hadn’t gone to apologize to Bai Xuyang for her sake, he wouldn’t have jumped into the water to save people and cut his hands. As for whether Bai Xuyang and Qin Guilin lived or died… in Mu Qianyu’s eyes, their lives were not as important as Su Wuji’s hands.

Su Wuji chuckled. “So thoughtful. If I need to use the toilet, can you help with that too?”

Mu Qianyu said, “Didn’t Sister Yanxi leave two fingers free on each hand for you? Working together, they should be enough.”

“Uh… indeed enough.” Su Wuji raised his hands like a crab holding up pincers in a peace sign. For using the toilet, clamping with two fingers was sufficient.

Seeing this, Mu Qianyu felt both heartache and amusement. “Then I’ll go wash up first. If you’re sleepy, go to bed.”

With that, she turned and went upstairs.

However, from an angle Su Wuji couldn’t see, her eyes reddened again. Mu Qianyu was never one to cry easily, but today, whenever she recalled Su Wuji bowing his head and apologizing for her, she felt her chest tight with surging emotions.

After Mu Qianyu went upstairs, Su Wuji’s phone, charging on the side, rang.

He shuffled over with his bear paws, used one finger to slide the screen to answer, and tapped speakerphone.

Jiang Wanxing’s voice came through: “Are you in the Yunyan Lake Villa area? Which building exactly?”

“I’m not there,” Su Wuji dangled his feet and chuckled. “I’m at Empress Bar.”

Jiang Wanxing said, “I called your bodyguard. He told me you’re here.”

“Damn Xiao Pang…”

Su Wuji said grumpily, “You’re far away in the Capital; why are you asking for my exact address?”

“Cut the crap. Tell me, which building?” Jiang Wanxing asked.

“Building 07,” Su Wuji chuckled. “What, you want to fly right in front of me?”

Jiang Wanxing said nothing and hung up directly.

Su Wuji curled his lip. “Neurotic woman, daring to investigate my whereabouts. Watch me spank your peach butt next time.”

Ten seconds later, the doorbell rang!

Su Wuji’s eyes widened!

A woman in military uniform stood at the gate of the courtyard, carrying two large bags in her hands!

Who else could it be but Jiang Wanxing!
