While A-Xuan was working hard, Wu Jing was watching him. He managed to place caras in Xuan Tech as well, but as good as he is, he can’t beat A-Xuan with his thousand years of experience and his system, so he knows about it.
If you looked closer, you could see anxiety in Wu Jing’s eyes. After so investigation, he found out Yunchen’s plan for tonight.
Although he knows that A-Xuan is after his father and by extension Cao Empire, for so reason, he is not convinced that he knows about his brother’s plan. If he did, why would he agree to have a drink with him?
After a subordinate of his hacked into Yunchen’s cellphone, he saw the text between him and the man he paid to harm A-Xuan. That man nad Chu Qian answered that even without money, he was willing.
Does he think he has the qualification to talk to his baby, let alone touch him? There’s no way I’m letting anyone touch a single strand of hair out of his head.
After hours of work, A-Xuan directly left for the address Yunchen told him on the phone call. When he got out of the car, he saw a hotel. He ca in and asked for the lounge and followed the instructions.
Sitting in the corner was Yunchen waving at him, A-Xuan smiled and went his way. Seriously, how inconspicuous do you have to be?
"Sorry, I’m late."
Yunchen pushed a glass in front of him and said, "Don’t worry, brother, I haven’t been waiting long. Here, I ordered a drink for you." A-Xuan smiled at him while using the system.
Yunchen was startled when his cell phone rang. No, it can’t be the guy, it’s too early.
He looked up, and when he saw the na written on it, he was even more startled. He could only watch dumbfounded.
"Yunchen, what’s wrong?"
Yunchen ca back to his senses when he heard A-Xuan’s call. He got up, leaving rushing after saying, "Sorry, I have to take this call. I’ll be back in two."
A-Xuan said, "Sure, take your ti." A-Xuan mused, did love make him this stupid? No, there’s no way he wasn’t before.
Yunchen walked to an isolated place and picked up the call.
"Jinyan?"
"Hi, Yunchen, I hope I’m not bothering you."
Add the missing punctuation and correct the bad punctuation:
Her sweet voice ca through the other side, and Yunchen felt his heartbeat quicken. He took a deep breath and responded:
"Not at all, what can I do for you?"
Jinyan asked timidly:
"Can we et tomorrow at lunch? Alone?"
Yunchen answered:
"Yes, of course, let’s et at Viensmanger, it’s a French restaurant, your favorite, right?"
"Perfect, then I’ll see you there, bye."
After saying goodbye, Yunchen hung up and walked back to his table. On the way, he couldn’t believe that Jinyan asked him to et her of her volition.
After he gets pictures and videos of A-Xuan, he’ll show them to her and convince her to abandon him for good.
How can things be this perfect? Finally, everything is under his control again. As he neared, he saw a familiar face sitting at the bar.
A-Xuan saw him walking back, happier than he had ever seen him, and couldn’t stop himself from smirking. That protagonist doesn’t live up to his na.
"Is everything okay?"
Yunchen sat and grabbed his drink, lifting it in the air.
"It’s nothing, I can take care of it tomorrow. Tonight is our night. Here’s to the future, bottoms up."
Yunchen watched as A-Xuan picked up his glass and downed it in one go. After he was sure nothing was left, he did the sa. A drink to your defeat, brother.
Yunchen started to talk to his brother, waiting for the drug to take effect. The seller told him it would approximately take 30 minutes.
25 minutes in, he could see A-Xuan fighting off the effect and smiled happily. He nodded to the man sitting at the bar, and he started walking toward them.
"Brother, don’t worry I’ll reserve a room for you, so father won’t..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt his whole body shiver. Yunchen felt unbearably hot and lost consciousness the next second.
The man walked faster, not knowing what happened. Chu Qian started to shake Yunchen, but he did not react.
He promised him he could have his brother, and he was determined to have him. He walked close to A-Xuan, and when he started to reach for him, he heard:
"What do you think you’re doing?"
Chu Qian took two steps back, flustered.
"Nothing, I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
A-Xuan ignored him and grabbed Yunchen’s cellphone.
After hacking into it, he showed him their conversation and raised an eyebrow. Chu Qian imdiately panicked and knelt on the floor.
"Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to do this. He told I had to, or he would make pay. I knew he was a young master and that he could easily dispose of . I had no choice."
A-Xuan smirked. "You had no choice, huh? Is that why you answered, even without money I would do this?" A murderous aura started emanating from A-Xuan, making the man shudder in fear.
A-Xuan looked at him and said in a tone that left no room for talk.
"Chu Qian, is it? Take him to the room he originally got for , and everything that you were about to do to , you’re going to do to him. Take pictures and videos and send them to on this number."
A-Xuan pulled a card from his pocket and handed it to him. Chu Qian grabbed it and nodded multiple tis.
He was so scared that he would do everything A-Xuan would tell him to.
"Get it done, and I better see his face clearly in those pictures and videos. After that, don’t contact Yunchen anymore."
"Yes, of course."
A-Xuan got up, dusted his pants, and left, but before that, he added:
"Don’t try to run away and not go through with it. I have eyes everywhere."
A-Xuan smiled sadistically and left without turning his back.
He knew for sure that he’d go through with it. He used the system to scare him even more. He was honestly surprised he didn’t pee his pants.
A-Xuan was walking through the hotel lobby but stopped in place when he saw a familiar figure looking around frantically.
"Wu Jing?"
Wu Jing ran and grabbed him tightly in his arms. After a while, he let go and started patting him everywhere.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did he touch you?"
A-Xuan was stunned. He could feel the intense fear Wu Jing felt as he checked him everywhere. He’s always been cannon fodder, a casualty. No one’s ever been this distressed for him, even when he would die.
But here he is, for the first ti, in front of soone worried about him. His eyes started to moisten involuntarily. He felt frozen and couldn’t even blink.
When Wu Jing couldn’t hear a response after a while, he looked up and was shocked to see the youth close to tears. He pulled him outside and directly into the car.
Before he could say anything, he pulled him into a tight embrace. Wu Jing was distressed, he checked everywhere, making sure he was okay. Or maybe he’s just okay physically?
Perhaps the n Chu Qian frightened him, and he is going to pay for this. After a while, he pulled back and looked at him after wiping his tears.
"It’s okay, I’m here. Just tell what happened, and I’ll fix it."
A-Xuan pulled himself back together and cursed himself for being so touchy. How sad it is that soone being worried about makes this emotional.
To be fair, deep down he knows that it’s not the fact that it’s soone, it’s the fact that it’s Wu Jing.
He looked up and asked even though he knew the answer:
"You knew what Yunchen was planning to do, didn’t you?"
Wu Jing looked down guiltily, would he hate him knowing he knew but didn’t arrive on ti?
Wu Jing answered:
"I did."
"Why were you late?"
He explained:
"My subordinates couldn’t find the address. It turned out that Yunchen communicated it through a phone call to both you and Chu Qian. It took a while to finally get it."
Wu Jing dropped his head like a sad puppy being chastised by his master and said in a barely audible voice:
"I’m sorry, I’ll never be late ever again, I promise."
At that, A-Xuan’s eyes softened, and his heart turned into a puddle, how can he be so adorable? I want to eat him. He took a deep breath to abstain from acting impulsively and lifted his chin.
He said warmly:
"Thank you for having my back, I’m not used to it. I didn’t an to make you feel like you had failed in any way."
At those words, Wu Jing felt like he could breathe again, he watched as A-Xuan’s sparkly eyes watched warmly back at him.
He grabbed his hand and asked nervously:
"Are you hurt? Did he try anything?"
Waiting for his answer, Wu Jing was trembling slightly, his whole body wracked with anxiety. A-Xuan grabbed his hand back and said reassuringly, "He didn’t lay a hand on , nothing happened. I knew their plan from the beginning, so I’m fine."
Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he knew what they had planned; his baby is the smartest. A smile appeared on his lips as he asked, "How do you intend to deal with him? I can help you if you’d like."
A-Xuan smiled confidently, flashing his pearly whites. "No need, I’m already dealing with both of them. Everything Yunchen gives , I’ll give back a thousandfold." A flash of ruthlessness passed through his eyes.
At that, Wu Jing was delighted. He had always been worried that his baby was too soft and bound to get stepped on at so point.
But seeing him now, he understood that A-Xuan had only been pretending to trap the people who were after him. Most people would have been frightened seeing soone pretend so well, but Wu Jing wasn’t.
On the contrary, he was extrely pleased. He wasn’t an ethical man who was above doing this kind of thing, so he expected nothing less from the person he cared about.
But then, did that an A-Xuan was also pretending with Jinyan? Wu Jing could see Yunchen’s intentions, and there was no way he could miss Jinyan’s blatant ones.
Honestly, Wu Jing didn’t care what A-Xuan had in store for his niece, as long as he didn’t have feelings for her. Thinking like that, he was so happy that his heart was about to burst.
He looked down and laced their hands together. No matter what it took, he would make sure that A-Xuan was his and only his.
A-Xuan looked down and liked the sight of their hands intertwined very much. Before he lost himself in a fantasy, he let go and asked, "Can you drop at a hotel please?"
Wu Jing answered, feeling the warmth leaving his hand, "Sure, there’s one on the way ho."
He watched as the youth nodded, seemingly lost in thought. A-Xuan couldn’t go ho now, since he wanted Yunchen to think for a little while that he had succeeded in his plan.
The higher they climb, the harder they fall. On the way, A-Xuan looked out the window without saying a word, feeling very complicated. When they arrived, he thanked Wu Jing and went inside without looking back.
Wu Jing watched him disappear inside and had a bad feeling. He felt that for so reason, one day he would wake up and the youth would be gone. He shook his head to clear his thoughts.
"No, he won’t disappear. He’ll always stay by my side, this life or the next, and all the ones that co after. He’ll always be mine." Wu Jing made an oath in his heart and left.
