When Wong Qifu heard Xu Ke's flirtatious words, she knew he must have thought it would be just the two of them going to Haojing.
It's obvious this guy hasn't grasped the situation!
"Shouldn't it... just be the two of us, though?" Xu Ke asked, stumbling over his words.
"Of course not." Wong Qifu's voice was soft, likely due to exhaustion from the Demonic Qi, making her sound very gentle. However, her words showed just how cold and cutting a person could be, even with a gentle tone. "Given our current situation, do you really think it's suitable for us to travel alone?"
The nas "Wong Ting," "Yan Xuehai," and "Yin Li," along with the term "Demonic Qi," flashed through Xu Ke's mind, culminating in a single, heartfelt curse.
Fuck all of you!
Xu Ke took a deep breath, suppressing his sorrow. "Is there no room for negotiation?"
That whole wonderful world for two I fantasized about last night and just now is still vivid in my mind. How can it be gone already?
"No room for negotiation," Wong Qifu stated firmly.
Xu Ke could only sigh and ask resentfully, "Then how many people are we bringing?"
"At least four or five. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
Wong Qifu took security very seriously. She was especially concerned for Xu Ke, who seed to attract trouble whenever he went out, so she couldn't possibly let her guard down. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the trouble of chartering a private plane for the trip. It was all to ensure they could land safely in Haojing.
"Fine," Xu Ke mumbled. Then, a thought occurred to him. "Since the travel is arranged, let handle the accommodations."
If we can't have our own little world, we can at least share a room at night, right?
"No need. I've already had soone book an entire hotel." Wong Qifu handled things efficiently. "Xiao Ning has already taken care of it for . It's the off-season for tourism, so booking a whole hotel wasn't expensive. I figured I might as well let everyone stay in comfort."
In truth, their group wasn't that large; one floor would have been enough. But she was truly spooked by Xu Ke's tendency to find trouble, so to guarantee their safety, she chose to book the entire hotel.
Xu Ke was speechless.
Is this the power of money? I was going to secretly book a hotel to achieve my grand plan, but it went bankrupt simply because my fiancée is too rich... Who the hell can I complain to about this?
"Alright, go get ready. I need to get a gift for Mister Mu... Also, your body probably hasn't fully recovered yet. Take it easy for the next couple of days and get so proper rest, understand?" Wong Qifu instructed.
"Oh," Xu Ke replied reluctantly.
"What do you an, 'oh'? Why are you acting like a child?" Wong Qifu was both amused and annoyed by his attitude. She said with mock anger, "Do you have any objections to my arrangents?"
"No, I was just thinking about sothing. I actually think there are still so issues with this travel plan."
But Xu Ke was just making excuses, secretly trying to co up with a devious plan to achieve his grand ambition.
"Issues? I don't see any issues. Are you questioning my arrangents?" Wong Qifu shot back.
"Of course not. I just want to help you perfect them," Xu Ke said, his mind racing.
Wong Qifu's voice ca through the phone again, this ti tinged with exasperation. "Alright, be normal. Stop being so childish! You, perfect them? It's just a trip, not like we're going on a mission."
Xu Ke started to whine, "I'm not being childish."
Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Wong Qifu finally played her trump card. Her tone was a mixture of compromise and playfulness as she said, "Alright, alright, we'll be sharing a room. Is that okay, my… fi… an… cé?"
"Really?!"
Hearing this, Xu Ke was stunned for a mont, then overwheld with a mix of shock and joy. His flagging spirits soared as if he'd taken a Xiongfeng Pill, and he shot up to his feet.
Wong Qifu found it amusing. Tsk, tsk... the things that can make a man instantly happy are so predictable! She scoffed. "Of course, it's true."
"You better not be playing any tricks!" Xu Ke laughed foolishly, feeling like he was back in the ga.
"What tricks would I play? You're the one being so coy and beating around the bush," Wong Qifu said, starting to look down on him. "If you wanted to share a room, you should've just said so. It's not like anyone is unaware of our relationship! Instead, you made all this fuss... The lengths you'll go to."
How could I not see through his little sches? He was just holding back at first. I just wanted to see what antics he'd pull for the sake of his lower-body urges. And to think that when he realized it was a lost cause, he actually considered getting desperate? The thought made Wong Qifu both amused and annoyed.
Xu Ke started to ramble. "That's not my only thought! I really am concerned about our trip. It's rare for us to get to travel!"
"Enough of your nonsense. Go get ready," Wong Qifu chided.
"You got it..." Xu Ke agreed cheerfully. He then fell silent, but he didn't hang up the phone.
Wong Qifu didn't hang up either. With a smile on her lips, she listened to his breathing for a mont before finally asking contentedly, "What are you doing?"
Xu Ke was taken aback for a second before he cleared his throat and replied with a single, suggestive word. "You."
Wong Qifu was montarily stunned, then snapped, "Get lost! I was asking why you haven't hung up the phone."
Xu Ke rubbed his nose and asked in a serious, solemn tone, "Would you like to take a look at this ultra-thin..."
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Xu Ke stared blankly at his phone, which now showed that Wong Qifu had ended the call. He muttered, "What's her problem? I was being serious, you know?"
「...」
On the other end, Wong Qifu rolled her eyes and muttered in annoyance, "Dirty rascal!"
A mont later, however, she couldn't suppress a smile. The tender skin around her lips crinkled as she whispered to herself, "We're just sharing a room. I didn't agree to anything else..."
She was already looking forward to seeing the expression on Xu Ke's face.
「...」
After hanging up, an impassioned Xu Ke felt he needed to do so preparation.
He earnestly opened his bookmarked websites. With a focused, cautious, and judicious gaze, he undertook a period of serious study. Finally, after confirming that no one had seen him, he closed the browser.
Excellent. The video is still so clear. I have ample theoretical knowledge now; all that's left is the practical application.
Afterward, Xu Ke glanced around, made a quick adjustnt below his waist, straightened his posture, and cleared his throat seriously before standing up.
"Mister Xu, long ti no see! You're looking quite spirited!"
Just as Xu Ke stood up, Duan Jia, who had been looking for him, walked in and greeted him with a smile.
Hearing the comnt, Xu Ke's serious expression imdiately crumbled. He quickly leaned forward slightly. "Oh? Is it that obvious?"
Duan Jia froze, asking blankly, "Is what obvious?"
I was just complinting his energetic appearance. He doesn't look at all like soone who just went through a "great battle." What did Dr. Xu an by that? Was there sothing else I was supposed to notice?
