"You're very kind, my dear nephew."
Chu Sheng put away the communicator, waved to his subordinates, gestured with his chin towards the stairs, and his subordinates nodded before turning and walking towards the stairwell.
"Uncle Chu, what are you doing?" Zhou Sijue smiled, but his eyes were extremely gloomy as he looked towards the stairwell. "Yun Mu is still resting upstairs. It wouldn't be good to wake her up with such a commotion."
"I heard there are other people here with you, my dear nephew. I'm curious to know who they are that you've hidden so well." Chu Sheng licked his lips, pulled out the pistol from his back and played with it in his hand. He glanced at Zhou Sijue and said slowly, "The Chu family and the Zhou family are both prominent families. If others knew that you were being intimate with other people on your wedding night, where would that leave the Chu family's reputation?"
“Clatter, clatter…”
The sound of guns being cocked rang out like birds startled awake at dawn, and the dark muzzles of the guns, like venomous snakes poised to strike, coldly stared at Zhou Sijue.
Seeing Chu Sheng's stance, Zhou Sijue's men were not to be outdone. They walked behind Zhou Sijue, pulled out their guns, and aimed them at him.
"Uncle Chu, what are you saying? My home may be small, but it is clean and tidy. It can't compare to your mansion."
Zhou Sijue took the tea set. The small and exquisite teacups were arranged in order, and the clear tea soup, wrapped in steam, poured out from the narrow spout as the teapot was tilted.
"please."
The teacup came to a steady stop in front of Chu Sheng. Zhou Sijue poured herself a cup, slowly brought it to her lips, and took a small sip.
"Seeing is believing, but just in case, it would be better to send someone up to take a look." Chu Sheng smiled, picked up his teacup, and swirled it slightly. "Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
“This is my home. I said there’s no such thing, and that’s final.” Zhou Sijue slammed down her teacup, looked Chu Sheng up and down, and finally fixed her gaze on his leg on the coffee table. “Uncle Chu, your injury looks quite serious. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Don’t worry about me.”
After saying that, he lazily waved to the man in the black suit behind him: "Da Long, see the guest out."
What if I insist on worrying about it?
The gun spinning in his hand instantly pressed against Zhou Sijue's head, while at the same time, a sharp dagger pressed against Chu Sheng's waist. Even through his clothes, one could feel the chill unique to the blade.
"I told you, you don't need to worry about it."
Zhou Sijue raised his head and looked at Chu Sheng with a forced smile.
"Then let's see if my gun is faster, or your knife is faster..."
"Clang!"
The sound of shattering glass broke the tense atmosphere in the living room, and everyone looked towards the attic.
"superior."
At Chu Sheng's command, some people quickly stepped onto the stairs, while others swung out the grappling hooks at their waists and used the force of the ropes to quickly fly to the second floor.
Taking advantage of Chu Sheng's distraction, Zhou Sijue quickly stood up, snatched the gun from Chu Sheng's hand, pressed it against his forehead, and gave his subordinates a look, "What are you standing there for? Go, stop them."
The man called Da Long nodded, found cover, and led the way by firing at the second floor. He directed the others to take another staircase while calling for security outside.
Chu Sheng's men reacted quickly; some continued climbing, while others lay down and opened fire in retaliation.
“Cover me.”
Zhou Sijue grabbed Chu Sheng and retreated towards the gate while firing shots.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble on his turf, he'll forget who he is if we don't teach him a lesson.
The living room was a scene of chaos, and the attic wasn't much better off; a hole had been cut in the skylight, and shards of glass were scattered everywhere.
Zhou Siyu brought over a chair, and he and Chu Yunmu climbed onto the roof one after the other.
A gust of wind blew by, and Chu Yunmu swayed. Zhou Siyu quickly grabbed him and waved to Zhou Sijue on the ground with a smile.
"Holy crap! Zhou Siyu, get down here right now!"
Seeing this, Zhou Sijue was both angry and anxious. Chu Yunmu was afraid of heights, so how could she stand on the roof?
"Brother Yunmu, do you want to come with me?"
Zhou Siyu completely ignored Zhou Sijue and turned to look at Chu Yunmu with a smile.
"Leave here, go to a wider sky." Zhou Siyu smoothed Chu Yunmu's hair and held his trembling hand tightly. "Go see the sunrise and sunset, the sea of clouds and the starry sky, go see vast fields of sunflowers in full bloom."
"Let's go together to pick the first flower of spring, see the first moon of summer, eat the first fruit of autumn, and watch the first snow of winter."
Would you like to come with me?
Zhou Siyu's gaze was firm yet gentle, her eyes sparkling like a thousand stars.
"I……"
Chu Yunmu bit her lip, looked down at the blurry figure on the grass, and a hint of emotion appeared in her eyes.
“If you just say you’re willing, I can take you away right now.” Zhou Siyu lifted Chu Yunmu’s face and looked at him quietly. “If you want to stay, I won’t force you.”
Chu Yunmu lowered her eyes and pursed her lips tightly.
"Then... I'll take you downstairs..."
Zhou Siyu sighed almost imperceptibly, turned around but before she could take a step, her arm was grabbed.
"Walk……"
"What did you say?" Zhou Siyu turned around happily, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Let's go together..."
Chu Yunmu's eyes were full of pleading as she gestured frantically.
"I'll take you away." Zhou Siyu raised her hand and covered Chu Yunmu's eyes, her voice gentle: "I know you're afraid of heights, don't open your eyes, I'll take you flying."
Chu Yunmu nodded, obediently closed her eyes, and let Zhou Siyu put his arm around her waist, gently resting her head on his shoulder.
The enormous black wings slowly unfurled, and Zhou Siyu waved to Zhou Sijue, shouting, "Big brother, I'm sorry, Brother Yunmu, I'm taking him with me."
"Damn it, Zhou Siyu, you bastard!" Zhou Sijue put Chu Sheng down, raised his gun and fired at the roof, then kicked the nearest subordinate hard. "What are you standing there for? Shoot him down!"
Bye-bye~
Zhou Siyu flapped his large wings, scooped up Chu Yunmu, and swooped down, soaring over the crowd and into the sky, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Damn it! Chase them!"
Zhou Sijue rushed out the door, walked to the nearest car, smashed the window with the butt of his gun, climbed into the car, started the engine, and chased after the direction Zhou Siyu had disappeared in.
It's one thing for Zhou Siyu to run away on his own, but what kind of behavior is it to drag someone else's wife along with him!
That kid is so unfair! I should have just handed him over to Chu Sheng.
"Brother Yunmu, open your eyes."
Zhou Siyu's voice was carried away by the wind. Although Chu Yunmu couldn't hear what he said, he still slowly opened his eyes.
The green mountains stretch out at our feet like a giant dragon, with golden sunflowers, emerald green grass, white sheep grazing leisurely on the grass, and horses grazing with their heads down, making it as beautiful as a painting.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Zhou Siyu smiled, hugging Chu Yunmu tightly. "It's beautiful at night too, like traveling in the Milky Way, as if you could reach out and pluck the stars. The clouds are light and soft, and the moon looks brighter than it does on the ground."
Chu Yunmu nodded, her slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes filled with surprise and excitement.
