Shadow Heir II: Dark Glory - Chapter 67

Su Wuji truly hadn’t expected Jiang Wanxing to just appear in front of him like this!

“You… what are you doing here?”

Su Wuji immediately stood up, raised his white bear paws, and pointed at Jiang Wanxing, his speech becoming much more stuttered.

What is going on tonight? One after another? Couldn’t you guys stagger your times a little?

Jiang Wanxing walked in, not looking at Su Wuji’s exposed chest or abs; her gaze fell immediately on his hands.

“Your hands are hurt this badly?” Her voice was noticeably tight.

Actually, the cuts on Su Wuji’s hands weren’t particularly severe; it was mainly because Park Yanxi felt bad for him and used an extra roll of bandages, wrapping them thicker.

“Hey, small injuries, no need to be nervous,” Su Wuji said nonchalantly. “You’re military too; are these little scratches worth you flying all the way from the Capital?”

“Worth it.” Jiang Wanxing shook her head, an unreadable emotion in her eyes. “I watched the surveillance video from this afternoon. On behalf of Bai Xuyang, thank you.”

Su Wuji sat back cross-legged on the sofa and grinned. “You thanking me for him? What kind of situation is this?”

Jiang Wanxing’s expression was very serious. “He’s my childhood friend. He bullied you, yet you kept yielding, and even disregarded past grievances to risk your life saving him. I know…”

“You know what?”

“I know you did all this because of me,” Jiang Wanxing said. “To avoid making things difficult for me, caught in the middle.”

Su Wuji was stunned for a moment… Can you brainstorm like that?

“Hey, really not.” Su Wuji coughed twice. “Don’t flatter yourself.”

Jiang Wanxing: “Stop denying it. I know you’ve always done a lot silently but never say it out loud.”

Su Wuji felt a bit powerless. “Sigh, forget it. Think whatever you want. Anyway, I don’t need your thanks.”

Jiang Wanxing’s expression was serious. “Whether you need it or not is your business; whether I thank you or not is mine.”

Su Wuji scratched his head with his remaining free fingers. “Fine then. I’ve received your intentions. It’s getting late; you should go back early.”

Mu Qianyu is still showering! Judging by the time, she’s probably almost done!

Hearing Su Wuji chase her away, Jiang Wanxing showed no intention of leaving immediately. She continued sitting on the sofa with her legs together and said, “I know you have opinions about us compound children. Bai Xuyang acts arrogantly, making you angry, so you also have opinions about me…”

Major Jiang is brainstorming again!

Su Wuji was almost crying. Big sister, you’re so good at making things up in your head, why don’t you write novels? Leave quickly, don’t ruin my good thing tonight!

“Just go,” Su Wuji urged grumpily. “I should sleep too. After all, jumping into the water to save people took a lot out of me. I feel a bit weak now.”

Jiang Wanxing looked at Su Wuji’s hands. “Then I definitely can’t leave.”

Su Wuji: “Huh?”

Jiang Wanxing looked around the spacious living room and asked, “You live here alone?”

Su Wuji didn’t answer directly. “Is there a problem?”

“Then let me wash some fruit for you first.”

Saying this, Jiang Wanxing unbuttoned her military uniform and took off the jacket. The hem of her shirt was tucked into her pants, highlighting the slender and flexible lines of her waist extremely clearly.

Su Wuji thought internally: Wash fruit if you want, but why take off your clothes? Are you planning to leave or not?

Jiang Wanxing unbuttoned her cuffs, rolled up her shirt sleeves, revealing forearms like lotus roots, her movements efficient. She then took apples, tangerines, and grapes from the bag she brought and walked to the western kitchen next to the living room to wash them.

“Wait a moment, I’ll be quick,” Jiang Wanxing said.

Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up, clamped it between her head and shoulder, washing fruit while tilting her head to answer, her movements neat and dashing.

Jiang Wanxing said, “Chief, I’m in Linzhou. I’m taking a few days off.”

Su Wuji’s eyes widened. “?”

So you’re really not leaving tonight?

Jiang Wanxing continued, “Yes, a friend is injured. He lives alone and can’t take care of himself. I’m here to look after him.”

The corners of Su Wuji’s mouth twitched. Is your Top Secret Task Force that idle?

The Shura field tonight was unavoidable no matter what. Mu Qianyu had decided to spend the night here. Originally, many ambiguous things could have happened, but if Jiang Wanxing insisted on staying, all the good things would be ruined, unless… unless she was willing to share the bed!

Jiang Wanxing hung up the phone, cut the fruit, brought the plate over, and placed it in front of Su Wuji. “Here, eat.”

Su Wuji looked at the fruit platter in front of him. Apples cut into small pieces, tangerines peeled into segments, even the grapes… peeled!

Su Wuji asked, “Do you usually eat fruit like this?”

Jiang Wanxing said, “Not really. Isn’t it because it’s inconvenient for you… Do you want me to feed you?”

“No need, no need.” Su Wuji coughed twice, pinched a fork with two fingers, and put a peeled Kyoho grape into his mouth.

If Mu Qianyu wasn’t here, being taken care of like this would feel pretty good!

“I just took leave. I’ll stay here for the next few days,” Jiang Wanxing volunteered. “That bodyguard of yours, Xiao Pang, is rough and careless; he probably won’t be able to take care of people. Let me do it.”

Su Wuji quickly found an excuse. “How can that work? The other rooms here haven’t been cleaned; there isn’t even clean bedding.”

This guy just told Mu Qianyu every room was clean!

Jiang Wanxing smiled nonchalantly. “It doesn’t matter. I have a sleeping bag in my trunk. I can just sleep on the floor in the living room, or the sofa is fine too. Besides, back in your room, I slept on the sofa as well…”

Speaking of this, Jiang Wanxing suddenly thought of the sofa stained red, her pretty face warmed slightly, and she stopped talking.

Su Wuji said, “But you still need to wash up. I don’t have extra towels or women’s change of clothes here…” He really couldn’t find a reason to chase her away.

Jiang Wanxing said, “Don’t worry, I brought everything.”

Su Wuji looked like he wanted to cry. “You’re so thoughtful; I’m really relieved…”

Big sister, how did someone as oblivious as you get into the special forces? Xiao Pang must be your long-lost brother!

Just then, a voice came from upstairs:

“Wuji, I’m done washing.”

When Mu Qianyu’s voice drifted down, Jiang Wanxing shot up from her seat.

Su Wuji only felt his scalp tingling!

Immediately after, Mu Qianyu walked down from upstairs. She was wearing Park Yanxi’s pale green long-sleeved nightgown. Although it wasn’t a strap style and almost no skin on her upper body was exposed, a strong homely feeling still wafted over. Sometimes, a woman in homely pajamas was sexier than one in lingerie!

The hem of the nightgown was quite long, slightly past her knees, but the smooth calves appearing on the stairs sparked infinite imagination.

At this moment, Su Wuji suddenly remembered Park Yanxi’s instructions before she left… He couldn’t help but take a couple more looks, the undergarments beneath this nightgown wouldn’t happen to be that semi-transparent disposable travel kind, would they?

However, immediately after, Su Wuji realized he had more important things to focus on!

The Shura field had arrived!

Mu Qianyu froze on the stairs, the smile in her eyes solidifying for a moment. Jiang Wanxing was the same, evident astonishment on her pretty face.

“Um, let me introduce…” Su Wuji coughed twice, smiling awkwardly. “Qianyu, this is…”

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Mu Qianyu seemed somewhat pleasantly surprised. She ignored Su Wuji’s introduction completely and said directly, “Sister Wanxing, what are you doing here?”

Su Wuji’s expression stiffened. “Huh? You know each other?”

Jiang Wanxing turned her head to glance at Su Wuji before answering, “I heard Su Wuji was injured, so I came to see him… Qianyu, why are you here too?”

Mu Qianyu looked at the military jacket Jiang Wanxing had taken off, then at the fruit platter where even the grape skins had been meticulously peeled. A complex emotion flashed through her eyes, then she smiled.

“Sister Wanxing, I also came to take care of Wuji. I originally planned to stay here tonight.”

“Oh, is that so…” Jiang Wanxing was so embarrassed she wanted to hit a wall. She glared at Su Wuji. “Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

Su Wuji turned his head guiltily, pretending not to see.

Jiang Wanxing looked at Mu Qianyu’s pajamas and then said, “Su Wuji said there’s no bedding here. Were you planning to sleep on the sofa tonight too? Then I’ll go to the car and get my sleeping bag; I can just sleep on the floor.”

Mu Qianyu: “Sleep on the floor? There are tidied guest rooms upstairs, and more than one.”

Su Wuji suddenly shivered.

Because he clearly saw Jiang Wanxing’s eyes turn murderous!
