Wang Chao scratched his head, feeling a bit puzzled.
Just a mont ago, Shen Bing was fine, laughing and talking with him. They even planned to have supper together later.
But in the blink of an eye, Shen Bing suddenly beca angry.
The glare she gave him was filled with annoyance, and there was even a hint of resentnt.
"I really can't figure it out."
Wang Chao scratched his head, unable to understand Shen Bing's thoughts.
He looked at the ti and realized he only had an hour left before his appointnt with Scarlett.
He picked up his phone and dialed Scarlett's number, "Where are we eting tonight?"
"Tonight at 7 o'clock, Tianhe Hotel, Room 1 on the top floor," Scarlett replied.
Wang Chao checked the ti, and it was already past 6 in the evening.
Searching on the map, it would take at least thirty minutes to get there from here.
Wang Chao took out his phone and called Zhou Xinghe, "How is Silver Fox doing?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. She's not as fragile as you think. An hour ago, she tortured Pei Buji to the point of agony. Based on this situation, she won't commit suicide," Zhou Xinghe said.
"Where is she now?"
"In Fuzhou City, quite close to President Shen's hotel."
"Tell her on my behalf that I want her to accompany President Shen for a while. I need to go out and handle sothing."
"Alright, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Chao waited nearby until he saw Silver Fox and Zhou Xinghe arrive at the hotel. Only then did he feel at ease. He hailed a taxi and headed straight to Tianhe Hotel.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Chao stood in front of Room 1 on the top floor of Tianhe Hotel.
He took a deep breath, preparing himself to reject Scarlett. In his eyes, Scarlett might have wanted to rekindle their past relationship.
But now, he was in the Dragon Country and had to wait for his master's next mission. There was no way he could run away with Scarlett.
Furthermore, he was particularly satisfied with his current life and enjoyed it imnsely.
He had a job, received rewards, and could be with his parents every day. They were a happy and harmonious family, always laughing and joking.
Seeing his parents' smiling faces every day filled him with genuine happiness, and he considered his ordinary and unremarkable life a good thing.
Therefore, he had no desire to be involved with Scarlett again.
The reason he agreed to et with Scarlett this ti was to reject her.
"The door isn't locked, co in."
Scarlett's gentle voice ca from the room.
Wang Chao pushed the door open and walked in, but he did not see Scarlett in the living room. Instead, he saw a table filled with ticulously prepared food and fine wine.
Wearing an apron, Scarlett walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of sweet and sour pork, giving Wang Chao a slight smile. She said, "Wait a mont, there's a dish of vegetables that isn't cooked yet."
Nowadays, she no longer had the coldness and murderous aura she had on the Swan Cruise.
With her hair tied back and wearing an apron, she exuded a maternal radiance, resembling a holy housewife from the Baiying Kingdom, gentle and virtuous.
After speaking, she set down the sweet and sour pork and went back to the kitchen to continue her busy work.
About ten minutes later, she ca out carrying a plate of stead baby bok choy, steam rising from it, and placed it on the table. She gestured to Wang Chao, "Don't just stand there, take a seat."
Looking at this side of Scarlett, Wang Chao looked into her aquamarine eyes, feeling puzzled. "I never expected that the assassin Scarlett would also have such a gentle homaker side. It's truly rare."I think you should take a look at
"You have seen many things you didn't expect. How about it? Now that you see being so dosticated and virtuous, do you regret not marrying back then?" Scarlett teased with a smile.
"I do have a bit of regret." Wang Chao nodded.
The reason he broke up with Scarlett was not only because he discovered he was the third party, but also because he believed that Scarlett's identity as an assassin ant they could never have a stable life together.
He had always wanted to leave the life of war behind and live as an ordinary person, free from violence and killing.
After eight years of fighting, he had grown tired of that life of bloodshed.
Returning to a normal life was his greatest desire in this lifeti.
Now, seeing Scarlett being so dosticated and virtuous, he truly had so regret.
"If you say the word, I guarantee a divorce and marry you, to wash your clothes and cook for you for the rest of my life," Scarlett said.
"Are you joking?" Wang Chao laughed.
"I'm serious! These past few years, I've been waiting for you to say that." Scarlett's expression was serious, her aquamarine eyes fixed on Wang Chao.
Wang Chao's expression changed, and he put down the chopsticks he had just picked up. "Are you sure you are serious?"
"I am! Wang Chao, do you dislike my body?" Scarlett nodded seriously, her gaze intense.
Wang Chao furrowed his brow slightly and said, "I don't dislike it."
Scarlett's eyes brightened, and she quickly asked, "Then, are you willing to marry ?"
Wang Chao smiled and said, "Do not pretend. I know you're joking, and besides, in my eyes, you're already a virtuous wife and mother."
"Just so you know, I do not like to tear down other people's families."
Scarlett smiled and said, "I can not deceive you, can I? I was just saying it casually. Besides, I already have a family. I have three children. It's impossible for to co and marry you with three children."
"I just called you here to catch up, nothing more."
After saying that, she took out a tall wine glass, opened a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for Wang Chao, and poured herself a glass.
Wang Chao took the wine, took a sip, and then asked, "That's good. How have you been lately?"
"So-so, juggling work and taking care of the family, quite busy. And you? Are you still working as a rcenary?"
"I've been on vacation for the past two months."
As they ate their al, the two of them chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other in years, talking about everyday life, laughing and joking.
They spent an hour over the al, talking about many things.
From rcenary work, assassination jobs, family matters, the vegetable market, and even the price of vegetables, Scarlett even shared so parenting experiences with Wang Chao.
When they talked about parenting experiences, Scarlett took a sip of wine, leaned closer, and gave Wang Chao a kiss on the cheek. She smiled and said, "If you have ti, co to the Baiying Kingdom and et my daughter. There will be a surprise waiting for you."
Wang Chao was stunned. "What kind of surprise?"
Scarlett smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out when the ti cos!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Chao was instantly dumbfounded.
A surprise?
Could it be that Scarlett's daughter is his daughter?
Could it really be such a coincidence?
