She's a thousand-year-old demon, either cultivating or on the path to cultivation. Facing a bottleneck in her cultivation, she decided to go out and relax, where she coincidentally met a system...
Su Xia quickly washed up after returning to her room.
Su Xia walked to Ning Qing's room and knocked on the door. No one answered, so Su Xia gently pushed the door open.
Su Xia went inside. The room was empty. As she approached the bathroom, she heard the sound of running water coming from inside.
Su Xia smiled, thinking to herself: So Mr. Ning is taking a shower in the bathroom!
After a while, the sound of water inside stopped, and a moment later, the sound of a doorknob turning could be heard.
Su Xia quickly sat back on the sofa and looked up to see Ning had finished washing up.
She came out wrapped in a towel, humming a little tune.
Seeing Su Xia staring at him intently, Ning Qing whistled at him.
"Is it pretty?"
Ning Qing raised an eyebrow and asked.
Su Xia noticed that Ning Qing's hair was wet, with small water droplets still clinging to the ends. Looking further down, she saw broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with a towel wrapped around her waist.
Su Xia's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
He covered his mouth with his hand, coughed lightly, and almost choked on his saliva. He turned his eyes away from the view, unaware that the scene had already been imprinted in his mind, and his ears were burning hot.
"Mr. Ning is beautiful everywhere."
Su Xia pressed the word "beauty" to the back of her tongue and chewed it repeatedly, producing a flavorful and intriguing sound.
Ning Qing was very satisfied with the little brat's answer.
"You don't need to envy my figure. You can have such a perfect figure if you work out more."
Su Xia thought to herself: Does Mr. Ning's physique have anything to do with fitness?
Looking at her perfectly flat stomach, she was filled with confusion.
The system was laughing itself to death in the space. Since Ning Qing came to this world, when had she ever worked out? She spent all her time eating, drinking, and having fun. Where did she get the confidence to have a perfect figure? Where were her abs? The absence of abs was a million miles away from the word "perfect"!
Ning Qing ignored the two clowns and went to the dressing room to get dressed.
When Ning Qing reappeared, he was wearing a long black satin robe, revealing his fair chest, with a loose ribbon tied around his waist.
Her phoenix eyes held a cool and aloof demeanor mixed with a touch of alluring charm; the two blended together seamlessly without feeling awkward.
Su Xia's Adam's apple bobbed, and she instantly felt her mouth go dry. "Mr. Ning, please rest well. Good night."
After saying that, he quickly left the room that had been so alluring to him.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to stand staying any longer, so he ran away first.
As a result, Su Xia went back to the bathroom and took another shower!
Ning Qing looked bewildered as Su Xia fled in disarray.
"System, why is the baby acting so strangely?"
"Isn't it said that everyone has to go to the bathroom three times a day? Maybe the mission objective is also facing that."
"Hmm, he's in a real hurry. I hope he didn't burst." Judging by how fast he ran off, I'm genuinely worried about his bladder.
"System, where's my suitcase?"
“Host, I…I only teleported the host here.”
The system whispered weakly.
Ning Qing: Another day of the system being annoying. Luckily, I have all the important things on my person or in my spatial storage. My suitcase is just for clothes and snacks.
The big bed in the room looked very comfortable. She lay down and found it indeed very comfortable. She could sleep in this bed for a hundred years without getting up. She would ask her son to buy another one tomorrow and put it in her space. Ning Qing drifted off to sleep with these thoughts in her mind.
The next day, Ning Qing was woken up by a phone call. She struggled to get up, grabbed her phone, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello".
A deep, pleasant male voice came from the phone, "Mr. Ning, are you up yet? I made breakfast this morning, it's in the pot, you can heat it up and eat it. I'll come back and have dinner with you tonight."
Ning Qing mumbled a reply and hung up, then pulled the covers over her head and went back to sleep.
Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, I knew Mr. Ning had hung up.
Su Xia recalled the voice that had just come from her phone—a hoarse but pleasant voice, the voice of someone who was still not fully awake.
Su Xia smiled: "Hanging up so quickly, are you trying to go back to sleep? You're such a lazybones, aren't you?"
If he hadn't found clues about the mastermind behind last night's truck accident, he wouldn't have bothered coming to the company.
Ha, someone wants to kill him, and they're even trying to fake a car accident.
His company has grown too fast and too well over the years, which has taken away the profits of many people. There are many who want him to come to trouble, but as for those who want to kill him and have the guts to do so... there are only a few people.
