"These are all fine jadeite pieces. You can keep them for your collection or make them into jewelry." Xue Xuan waved his hand, calling the big man over quickly.
The burly man carried a rather large box, which he lifted heavily and placed on the table. When he opened it, the glittering jewels and the cool, clear air made Shen Wangshu's eyes glaze over.
Violet, yellow, green, and red jadeite were piled up in the box, their translucent beauty causing Shen Wangshu to show a hint of surprise.
These are all very rare jadeite pieces with unusual colors, and their texture and clarity are at least high-grade icy jadeite, which is extremely rare nowadays.
Among them were several round, purple jadeite pieces the size of walnuts, deep and mysterious, like the eyes of a beautiful woman, shimmering and breathtaking.
"Purple eyes?" Shen Wangshu asked in surprise, "You deciphered it?" Does Xue Xuan really not have any special abilities? His ability to gamble on stones is almost equivalent to having special abilities.
"Do you like what you see?" Xue Xuan nodded demurely and solemnly, paused slightly, leaned down and whispered in Shen Wangshu's fair ear.
"..." Shen Wangshu held back for a moment before she could laugh out loud. When she turned her head and saw Xue Xuan's expectant eyes, she nodded with a forced smile and quickly kissed his thin red lips. "Thank you."
Xue Xuan remained calm, but was clearly in a good mood.
“I have a lot of similar fabric here. If you like it, it’s all yours.” He saw Shen Wangshu looking at him with a smile and said expectantly, “Give me another kiss.”
"Pfft... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional." The big man watched his older brother squander all his possessions, and he was all sticky and mushy. Where was his usual cold and fierce demeanor? He couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing Xue Xuan looking up at him expressionlessly, he hurriedly put the box on the table and told the two of them to admire it. He then clutched his stomach and ran away.
He ran so fast that although he disappeared, a loud laugh could still be heard in the distance, which immediately darkened Xue Xuan's face. He said coldly, "They've had it too easy for them these past few days!"
They're all bachelors, and they actually have the nerve to laugh at the boss?!
"It's clear he truly sees you as an older brother, not just a boss." Shen Wangshu thought the big man was quite nice.
He looks intimidating, but he's actually a very nice person with a straightforward personality.
"We've been through thick and thin together." Speaking of this, Xue Xuan was a little proud. He squeezed Shen Wangshu's hand and saw her looking at him with a smile. He said softly, "My brothers..." He lowered his eyes and said softly, "The reason I cleared my name is also for their sake. We can't always be fighting and killing, not knowing if we'll be alive tomorrow."
He had to consider the lives of his brothers. Therefore, although he knew that after clearing his name, he might not be as powerful as before, he was unwilling to continue living that life of constant danger with them.
They trusted him and entrusted their lives to him, so he had to take responsibility for their lives.
Since they are already incredibly wealthy, why cling to that unsettling power and be on guard day and night?
Shen Wangshu knew that Xue Xuan was never a heartless person. She suddenly wanted to know what kind of life this person had experienced in the past, rather than the person who was now casually saying that nothing had happened to him.
"What's that scar on his face?" The burly man had a hideous scar running down his face, as if a little more force would have split his head in two. Seeing that scar, Shen Wangshu knew how dangerous Xue Xuan's life had been in the past.
Seeing this big man, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her Ah Xuan. Holding Xue Xuan's hand, she whispered, "And you? Have you been injured?" During this time, she had been very selfish, only caring about the joy of her reunion with Xue Xuan and enjoying Xue Xuan's indulgence and protection. But she forgot to ask whether he had been doing well all this time.
"I'm sorry," she said softly.
Xue Xuan didn't quite understand why she apologized to him, but he felt a bittersweet feeling in his heart, yet also a warm joy.
"It's okay." Although he didn't know the reason, he still held Shen Wangshu's soft hand.
Am I... selfish?
“You are the best,” Xue Xuan interrupted her, saying decisively.
Shen Wangshu looked up at him quietly. After a long while, she smiled, nodded, and took Xue Xuan's hand in her own, saying softly, "I will protect you from now on."
Her voice was full of earnestness and affection. Xue Xuan was never someone who needed to be protected or maintained by a woman or anyone else, but at this moment, his heart was as soft as a pool of spring water.
He couldn't help but curl his thin lips, which still seemed to carry the sweet, warm scent of Shen Wangshu's lips and tongue, and softly responded. After a slight pause, he said softly, "I've been injured too. In a place like that, it's impossible not to get hurt." In a place filled with the sounds of gunfire and cannon fodder, who could tell who was the boss and who was the underling?
At that time, because he was the leader, he received more attention and bullets were thrown at him without restraint.
If it weren't for his good fortune, his ruthless and domineering nature, and his vindictiveness that made people afraid of him, he would have been buried somewhere long ago.
Fortunately, we don't have to live like that anymore.
"Are there many injuries?" Shen Wangshu asked with concern.
Xue Xuan hesitated for a moment, then responded softly.
"Let me see." Shen Wangshu's voice became softer, as if raising her voice would disturb something.
"Don't scare you."
“I’m not afraid, let me see,” Shen Wangshu insisted.
Xue Xuan pursed his lips, looked down at himself, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He moved the teacup in front of him aside, stretched out his long legs, and suddenly stood up.
He was very tall, with a broad back and a narrow waist. He looked thin, but in fact, he possessed a powerful and beautiful physique. He wore a very exquisite suit, tailored yet revealing muscles that seemed ready to burst forth beneath. Shen Wangshu was admiring her man's strong body, inwardly praising it, when she saw the young man's long, powerful hand rest on the lapel of his suit.
His fingers seemed to possess a seductive quality as he unbuttoned his suit jacket, one button at a time.
Shen Wangshu suddenly felt hot all over. He watched as the man casually and neatly threw his suit on the table and then went to unbutton the thin shirt underneath, which seemed to exude the heat of the young man.
"Wait!" She finally snapped out of her daze and managed to lift her hand to press it against his burning fingers.
In a short time, he had unbuttoned three of his shirts, revealing a large expanse of his muscular chest.
"What are you doing?" she asked, her mouth dry as she looked at his exposed chest.
"You were the one who said you wanted to see my body," Xue Xuan paused, then said righteously.
