Qin Shu listened to the sound coming from the speaker of the mobile phone and reached out to pinch her red earlobe.
She seemed to be able to feel the heat from Xie Lanzhi's breath as he spoke into her ear.
"Okay, stop being so poor."
"Go get some rest and call me when you wake up."
Xie Lanzhi chuckled, his voice ambiguous and gentle: "It's hard to fall asleep without you by my side."
Qin Shu said coquettishly: "You speak better than you sing. You didn't have me by your side for the first 26 years, but you still ate and slept normally!"
Xie Lanzhi's voice was hoarse and he said in a nonchalant manner, "That's different. Ah Shu smells delicious all over, and it feels great to hold her in your arms. I will sleep better with you by my side."
Qin Shu covered her pounding heart and said, "That's enough. If you don't behave properly, I'll die!"
This man can make people's heart beat faster even when he flirts with them over the phone.
Xie Lanzhi stopped when he saw that things were going well and changed the subject at the right time: "How are Chenchen and Yaoyao? Did they make trouble for you?"
Qin Shu: "They are very well behaved and obedient, they don't make any noise or trouble."
Xie Lanzhi: "It's been raining in Yunzhen these few days. Wear more clothes and don't catch a cold."
Qin Shu: "I know. Go to sleep quickly. We can talk about it when you wake up."
Xie Lanzhi: "I will follow Madam's orders. I am going to die now——"
Qin Shu stared at the darkened screen of her phone, and her heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
The peak hacker war between China and the United States has officially come to an end.
This also means that Xie Lanzhi has a brief period of free time and is no longer busy with official duties.
Qin Shu had promised her family and son that she would tell Xie Lanzhi the truth. Now that the time had come, she felt very uneasy.
"Mom, is it Dad calling?"
Xie Chennan's ghostly voice came from behind.
Qin Shu turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, Dad beat the bad guys away."
Xie Chennan smiled happily, and then asked, "Did mom confess to dad?"
"..." Qin Shu stammered, "I haven't had time to say it yet. Dad is too tired and needs to rest."
Xie Chennan showed a visibly disappointed expression, his clear and innocent black eyes looked at Qin Shu quietly: "Then when Dad wakes up, will Mom tell him?"
Qin Shu said without thinking: "Yes, this time mom will definitely tell dad."
"Mom, please don't lie to me anymore."
Xie Chennan looked suspicious and didn't quite believe it.
Qin Shu forced a smile on her face and said, "I'll call my dad tonight, how about you just listen next to him?"
At this point, she had no choice but to confess.
"Okay!" Xie Chennan's eyes lit up slightly.
Qin Hairui rushed into the yard: "Ah Shu, Sixth Uncle wants to see you, come with me!"
Qin Shu asked: "What happened?"
Qin Hairui said hurriedly: "I'm not sure either, it seems like there's a patient, and he's in a hurry."
"Chenchen, Mom is going out for a while, you stay at home."
"Um--"
Xie Chennan stood under the eaves, watching Qin Shu's departing back, his delicate and handsome face became expressionless.
He whispered softly: "Mom, this is your second rejection. You have one last chance."
The child's tender voice carried a kind of frightening determination.
Jing City, Imperial Palace.
Xie Lanzhi returned to the bedroom and smelled Qin Shu's scent still lingering in the room.
He unbuttoned his shirt with his slender fingers, took a step forward with his long legs, and walked straight to the bathroom.
When Xie Lanzhi came out again, he had a bath towel wrapped around his waist and his hair was half dried.
Thanks to Qin Shu, Guo Electric developed a household hair dryer, which makes daily life much more convenient.
After a quick shower, Xie Lanzhi's fatigue and sleepiness disappeared a lot.
He walked to the display cabinet as if possessed, staring at the black crystal ball.
I don’t know if it’s Xie Lanzhi’s illusion, but I always feel that this crystal ball seems to have undergone different changes.
By the time Xie Lanzhi reacted, he was already lying on the bed with the black crystal ball next to his pillow.
He stared into the crystal ball, puzzled by his own behavior.
In the end, I blamed it all on missing Qin Shu too much.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
Xie Lanzhi glanced over and saw that it was Kyle Donald who was far away in Italy.
"Godfather!"
As soon as the call was connected, Kyle's ghostly howling was heard.
Xie Lanzhi's eardrums hurt from being yelled at, and he subconsciously moved his phone away: "Speak properly!"
Kyle growled, "Wen Zhenyu is dead! And the few Wen family members who escaped to Japan were all shot to death."
He sounded as if he had been cuckolded, his tone was angry and his voice was shrill and sharp.
Xie Lanzhi's eyebrows sank, and he asked coldly: "Who killed them?"
Kyle said angrily: "The Ito family is dedicated to cleaning up the mess for the Japanese royal family! My people were a step too late and only brought back a few corpses."
Xie Lanzhi didn't speak for a long time.
Kyle said in a muffled voice, "Godfather, I have captured the Wen family, right? Even though they are dead, at least they have bodies. You can't go back on your word about lowering the price of the weapons, right?"
Kyle didn't care at all whether the Wen family members lived or died.
What he cared about was the weapons purchased from China, and he had to get the lowest price.
Xie Lanzhi said without any emotion: "People are dead, so the previous price reduction of weapons is naturally invalid."
Kyle pretended to be pitiful and cried aggrievedly: "Godfather! Please be more flexible. I'm very poor recently."
"Poor?" Xie Lanzhi seemed to have heard a joke and sneered, "You bought an office building in the U.S. Financial Street some time ago.
You even booked the world's king of pop music and spent hundreds of millions to celebrate your lover's birthday. That's it, and you're still crying poor to me?"
Kyle spent a fortune just to make the beauty smile, and the person he invited was a famous singer at the top of the pyramid of the world music scene.
With such a big sum of money, Kyle had the nerve to cry poor, and Xie Lanzhi was too embarrassed to listen and even wanted to kick his godson.
Kyle not only did not feel guilty, but said confidently: "That's not a mistress, she's the apple of the eye of a US arms tycoon, and I plan to marry her."
Xie Lanzhi laughed angrily: "Your identity is already sensitive enough, and the family of the daughter-in-law you found is even more notorious than yours!"
Those who don't know might think that this is a terrorist shelter.
Kyle said anxiously: "I..."
Xie Lanzhi interrupted him: "I don't agree with this marriage. If you dare to marry me, I will let Ah Shu kick you out of the house!"
Kyle, who was about to argue, suddenly changed the subject: "I'm not marrying her! I'm just having fun!"
"That girl is good-looking and has a hot body! She came to me on her own initiative, and I just wanted to have a taste of her."
"Just be sensible." Xie Lanzhi felt sleepy and said lazily, "I'll reduce your weapons by 3% this year. If you have nothing else, I'll hang up first."
"Thank you, Godfather. Long live Godfather!"
Kyle howled with excitement, his voice so loud that it almost shattered the phone.
Xie Lanzhi immediately ended the call, turned off his phone and threw it on the bedside table.
He pulled up the quilt to cover himself and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Lanzhi didn't see the crystal ball on the pillow. The thousands of dark red threads flowing inside were dissipating in a strange way.
