Xu Nuo didn't know when she fell asleep. Perhaps the medicine Nan Qing'an gave her contained sleeping pills. When Xu Nuo opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.
Last night, before I fell asleep, I could still hear Nan Qing'an talking, but after that, I couldn't hear what he was saying anymore!
I slept very well!
Xu Nuo moved his hands and had regained his strength, so it seemed that Nan Qing'an had not lied to him.
As she got up and stretched her neck, before Xu Nuo could fully open her eyes and see the bedroom clearly, Nan Qing'an's gentle, soothing voice came from her right:
"Did you sleep well, Nono?"
Xu Nuo was startled, only then realizing that Nan Qing'an was sitting at a small table under the window to her right.
It's just a bedroom, why make it so big?
After catching her breath, Xu Nuo replied, "I slept quite well."
"Your new clothes are ready. Now that you've washed up, let's go have breakfast!"
Nan Qing'an gestured with his eyes to the spot next to the bed.
The neatly folded clothes were placed in the corner of the bed. Xu Nuo only realized after her eyes adjusted to the light that Nan Qing'an was wearing those frameless glasses again.
Sitting there quietly, he transformed once again into the refined and cultured young nobleman of Yuncheng.
Xu Nuo glanced around the bedroom, pinpointed the location of the bathroom, grabbed the clothes from the corner of the bed, and dashed into the bathroom!
While taking a shower, Xu Nuo went over the events of last night in her mind again.
I have no idea what's going on with Lin Zheng and Night Owl!
However, Lao Gui's identity has already been exposed. As long as Ye Mao can bring Ye Linyan back to Lin Zheng, they will be safe!
Thinking of Ye Linyan, Xu Nuo became worried again. She had shot him twice. Although the second floor was not high, she didn't know how badly he was injured.
Night Owl was also injured. Xu Nuo wasn't sure if they could evade Old Ghost and Nan Qing'an's men and return to Lin Zheng safely!
We need to find a way to contact the Night Owls!
Things in Yuncheng also need to be expedited. Ever since the incident with Nan Qing'an, Xu Nuo has become increasingly uncertain.
"We need to get back to China first, deal with the Ye family and Ye Qingshan, and bring Ye Linyan back safely. As for Nan Qing'an..." Xu Nuo's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
It's not the right time yet. Without Nan Qing'an, there are many things he can't accomplish.
After changing her clothes, Xu Nuo felt much refreshed and followed Nan Qing'an to the restaurant on the second floor.
A sumptuous breakfast was laid out on the table, with the tableware arranged exactly as it had been the night before!
After sitting down, Xu Nuo looked at Nan Qing'an across from her without touching her chopsticks.
"Is there anything that suits your taste?"
Nan Qing'an asked.
"No, I'm not picky about food, it's just that I have a psychological aversion to it! I'm afraid to eat it!"
Xu Nuo's words weren't entirely false; he genuinely had some lingering trauma. Who knows what went wrong with Nan Qing'an's mind, or if he might have given himself some more drugs.
"Eat without worry, there's nothing extra."
Nan Qing'an lowered his eyes and started eating with his chopsticks.
Xu Nuo hesitated for a moment before picking up her chopsticks and choosing to eat only the dishes that Nan Qing'an had eaten.
Nan Qing'an sensed Xu Nuo's intentions and ate a little of almost every dish.
"What are our plans next? What are we going to do?"
Xu Nuo asked while eating.
"Will you follow my instructions?"
Nan Qing'an countered with a question.
"What should we do? I'm already here!" Xu Nuo wanted to leave, but would Nan Qing'an allow it?
What do you plan to do next?
Nan Qing'an put down her chopsticks and looked up at Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo thought for a moment:
"Didn't they say I was number one on the hunting list? Brother Ruo'an, can you find a way to remove me from it! I can't sleep soundly with my name on that list!"
"Where do you want to go? Just stay here and you can sleep soundly."
Nan Qing'an had considered this issue last night. It wouldn't be difficult to remove Xu Nuo's name; it would just cost more money. However, without external danger, Xu Nuo probably wouldn't feel at ease staying by his side.
Just as Xu Nuo was pondering how to say it, Lao Gui walked in from outside and stood next to Nan Qing'an.
"General Manager Nan."
Xu Nuo glanced at the old ghost and smiled:
"Brother Ruo'an, I fell asleep too quickly last night, and there's still a question I haven't asked you yet!"
"What's the problem?"
Nan Qing'an ignored the old ghost and looked at Xu Nuo.
"Um.........."
Xu Nuo put down her chopsticks and looked at Lao Gui, scanning him from head to toe.
"He's your man, so did you tell him to be careful about my safety?"
Old Gui stood beside Nan Qing'an, and his expression changed after hearing the story.
Nan Qing'an glanced at the old ghost, and the old ghost immediately spoke:
"Mr. Nan, I............."
"Brother Ruo'an, I just arrived at the small hotel in that town when this man ordered his men to rush in and open fire on me. Luckily, I dodged quickly, otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here having breakfast with you!"
"No! Mr. Nan, he fired first! My men..."
"Your men kicked the door open and started shooting at me. I fired back a couple of times, and now it's like I started it?"
Xu Nuo interrupted the old ghost and spoke.
Old Gui was clearly getting anxious and looked at Xu Nuo: "Don't slander me! You were the one who fired the first shot!"
"Fine, even if I fired first, you can have your men fire back, right?"
After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he looked at Nan Qing'an again:
"Brother Ruo'an, if it were you, and a group of people with guns kicked down the door and pointed them at you menacingly, would I just stand there and wait to die?"
"you............"
Old Ghost glared angrily at Xu Nuo, speechless for a moment.
Nan Qing'an's face darkened noticeably. Xu Nuo had been thinking about Lao Gui ever since she woke up that morning. He was too dangerous, and she needed to find an opportunity to deal with him!
"I encountered two ambushes on my way back from the mountains! If it weren't for Night Owl leading the way and getting me out of there quickly, I probably wouldn't be able to come back to see you alive!"
Xu Nuo added fuel to the fire, then turned to the old ghost and asked:
"Don't tell me it wasn't you who intercepted and killed me and Night Owl!"
"You... promised..."
"go out!"
Nan Qing'an gave the old ghost a cold look.
With his usual gentle demeanor gone, Nan Qing'an uttered just two words, which made the old ghost tremble all over!
She wanted to say something, but didn't speak again. Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Xu Nuo where Nan Qing'an couldn't see her.
"You really dislike him?"
After the old ghost left, Nan Qing'an regained his composure and asked Xu Nuo.
"It's hard to like someone who has tried to kill me time and time again, right? What do you think?"
Xu Nuo leaned back slightly; he was already full.
"He's still useful. How about we hand him over to you to deal with later?"
Nan Qing'an handed Xu Nuo a tissue, smiling gently.
"Then wouldn't I be stuck with someone who wants me dead, hanging around in front of me every single day? Ugh..."
