It was already noon when Su Xi and Zhou Jingming came downstairs. The servants had already cleared away the breakfast and were preparing for lunch.
The family members took their seats one after another.
Su Xi looked at the table full of food, and in front of her was a bowl of nourishing soup. Shen Xian's words made her extremely embarrassed.
"You must be exhausted. Mom specially asked the maid to make you some chicken soup. Drink more."
Su Xi's face turned bright red.
The foot under the table lightly stepped on Zhou Jingming's instep.
The man groaned in pain.
Shen Xian thought something had happened and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's nothing," Zhou Jingming gasped, his eyes still smiling as he looked at Su Xi.
Su Xi gritted her teeth and gradually exerted her strength.
If Zhou Jingming hadn't been so persistent, they wouldn't have been coming down at this hour.
We agreed to take a morning bath.
As a result, he became restless as soon as he entered the bathroom.
Shen Xian would specially cook soup for her, clearly telling everyone that they had been acting ridiculously all morning.
She was exhausted.
Although Zhou Jingming held back, he still made a sound.
Shen Xian felt something was wrong. "If you're feeling unwell, don't hold it in. Go find a doctor to take a look at you."
"I don't feel unwell, but there are mosquitoes."
Zhou Jingming made up an excuse.
Zhou Jing looked at him suspiciously, "When did we get mosquitoes in our house?"
After saying that, she bent down to check the situation.
Su Xi quickly pulled her feet back, sat up straight, picked up her spoon, and focused on drinking the soup.
The next second, Zhou Jing exclaimed, "Brother, why are your pants legs wet?"
"I accidentally got water on my hands."
When Zhou Jingming said this, he gave Su Xi a special look.
That one look was ambiguous, and Su Xi's face instantly turned bright red.
Half an hour ago, she came out of the bathroom and was changing clothes in front of the mirror when Zhou Jingming suddenly pressed against her from behind again.
He was already dressed and ready.
And they are restless in all sorts of ways.
Su Xi still can't forget the time he bit her earlobe and said she was made of water.
Zhou Jing, being naive and inexperienced, believed him.
Shen Xian was focused on urging Su Xi to eat more, and kept piling meat and vegetables onto her plate.
As the name suggests, if you didn't eat breakfast, you need to make sure you eat something at lunchtime.
After the meal, Zhou Jingming had other things to attend to, so the two did not stay at the old house any longer.
Before leaving, Shen Xian caught up with him, "You two are living outside, you should hire a nanny. Since you're planning to have a child, you should give Xi'er more nourishment."
"Don't worry, she's my wife, I'll naturally take good care of her."
Without saying much, Zhou Jingming started the engine and drove away.
On the way, Su Xi kept yawning.
I didn't sleep much last night.
Now that she had eaten and drunk her fill, and the temperature in the carriage was just right, Su Xi felt drowsy.
Soon after, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"Honey, I have to go to the bar in a bit. Wait for me at home..."
Before Zhou Jingming could finish speaking, he looked in the rearview mirror and saw the little woman sleeping soundly, and smiled helplessly.
It seems last night really took a toll on her.
I fell asleep as soon as I got on the bus.
Zhou Jingming turned up the temperature in the car and slowed down the speed to make her more comfortable.
When they got back to the villa, he carefully carried her out of the car.
Su Xi was sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up.
Zhou Jingming placed her on the bed, and she suddenly rolled over and snuggled into his arms, hugging him tightly.
"Go ahead and do your work, I'm staying home and sleeping."
Zhou Jingming's heart softened. He gently stroked her hair and kissed her. "I'll be back soon."
Su Xi didn't open her eyes, but nodded.
Zhou Jingming left quickly.
Su Xi fell into a deep sleep again.
I slept so soundly that I completely forgot about time.
By the time she regained consciousness, night had already fallen.
Su Xi rubbed her eyes and took out her phone to check the time.
It's already 5:30.
She had slept all afternoon.
She sat up in bed, her head still throbbing with confusion.
It seems that ever since Su Rou was lost, she has never had a good night's sleep like this.
"husband."
Su Xi called towards the door.
There has been no response for a long time.
It wasn't that I said I would come back to be with her sooner.
Could it be that he didn't come back?
"Zhou Jingming?" Su Xi called out again.
The only sound in the room was still her voice.
Su Xi was extremely thirsty, so she threw off the covers and got out of bed to get a drink of water. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise coming from outside.
Years of honed vigilance, coupled with the recent shooting incident, made Su Xi's first reaction that something was wrong.
She frowned and cautiously walked towards the balcony.
Suddenly, something flew straight towards her.
Su Xi dodged aside.
A green-tailed dart pierced the opposite wall.
Su Xi immediately chased after him.
Last time it was a shooting.
This time it's darts.
Who on earth is so audacious as to commit crimes so frequently on their turf?
As soon as she went downstairs, the bodyguard in charge of the surveillance system rushed towards her in a panic. "Madam, the drone detected someone acting suspiciously in the building across the street."
"I see."
Su Xi strode outside.
The bodyguard stopped her, saying, "Madam, it's dangerous outside."
"It's okay, I can handle it."
This time, the other party did not fire a gun, but instead threw a dart.
The purpose couldn't be clearer.
To get her to come forward.
Su Xi insisted on going out, and the bodyguards couldn't do anything about it. They could only wait until she left and then immediately notify Zhou Jingming.
They also sent a group of people to protect her in secret.
...
Su Xi rushed to the rooftop of the building across the street, but the person the bodyguard had mentioned was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that the person has already run away?
Just then, I heard a noise behind me.
Su Xi suddenly turned around, and a dark shadow flashed past her eyes.
She chased after him again.
The opponent is very fast.
The two went downstairs, and the other person led her quickly into the alley.
What exactly is this person trying to do?
After chasing for a while, Su Xi began to hesitate.
What if it's a trap?
If she chases after him so rashly, something bad could easily happen.
"Is that all the courage Miss Su has?" In the darkness, the voice wearing a voice changer sounded particularly hoarse and hollow.
Su Xi looked around but didn't see a single person. "Who are you?"
"If you want to know my identity, come find me in Merlin."
The sound faded away, and the surroundings returned to calm.
Merlin.
The largest plum tree planting base in Kyoto.
What does the other party want from meeting her at Merlin?
Su Xi turned around and looked behind her. She could vaguely sense that someone was protecting her in the dark.
Unsurprisingly, it was Zhou Jingming's bodyguard.
It's likely that her coming out late at night has already been reported to Zhou Jingming by the bodyguards.
Su Xi looked towards the spot where the dark figure had disappeared.
He then sent a message to Fu Yu, asking her to come to Meilin to provide support as soon as possible.
Without hesitation, she sped up and headed towards Merlin.
Regardless of the other party's motives, she had to take the risk tonight.
These people are plotting to kill Zhou Jingming.
Now they're deliberately drawing her out.
She wanted to see what tricks these people were playing.
