Chapter 707 Eliminating Future Trouble
The person in his arms had no idea what was happening and was simply venting their frustration on instinct.
She was just gently rubbing her lips against his chin a moment ago, but now she's started biting him with her teeth.
Her movements were gentle, like a newborn puppy trying to be endearing but lacking finesse; her immature teeth left no mark, only tickling the heart.
Wan Qingzhou felt her tense mind crumbling inch by inch.
He gritted his teeth, went over, and put the person back on the bed.
Without Wan Qingzhou's comforting words, Wen Zhiyi's discomfort intensified. Her earlier resentment reached its peak, and she grabbed his wrist, pleading, "No, don't go..."
This sound made him abruptly stop in his tracks as he tried to retreat.
The effects of the medicine were also taking hold in his body. He looked at the person on the bed whose neck was tinged with pink, and whose breathing was heavy.
"Wen Zhiyi, do you know who I am?" He squatted down beside him, his eyes bloodshot.
Wen Zhiyi didn't open her eyes, but her hand traced his face: "Wan Qingzhou, you big liar..."
Her voice was so low it was almost an unconscious murmur, yet it successfully ignited the fire within Wan Qingzhou.
He held her tightly in his arms with all his might, earning her a sigh of relief.
The next moment, she seemed a little aggrieved: "Don't you like me?"
Wan Qingzhou froze.
He never imagined that she would say "I like you" first; in his mind, he should be the one to say it first.
Not getting a reply, Wen Zhiyi bit him in annoyance: "You flirted with me even though you don't like me, you scumbag."
Wan Qingzhou: "..."
After a long pause, he mumbled a reply: "I like it."
He's not a jerk; he just has responsibilities on his shoulders, so he has to carefully hide this feeling he's never had before.
But at this moment, it seems that an answer is still necessary.
He knew she was not quite lucid right now, and even if he answered, she probably wouldn't remember it once she regained consciousness.
But he still wanted to agree to her request.
It's an answer for her, and also for myself.
Wan Qingzhou loved Wen Zhiyi, in every moment they were alone, and in every night he watched her fall asleep.
Obviously, without a doubt.
He let out a long breath.
He thought he wouldn't say those two words for a very, very long time.
But it's good that he said it now; it's like a promise he made to her.
Wen Zhiyi received an answer and a smile appeared on her face. Then, unable to contain herself, she twisted her body and snuggled into his arms: "Then why don't you kiss me?"
Her hot breath sprayed onto his cheeks, burning away the last shred of his reason.
No one can refuse an invitation from the woman they love, no matter how strong their willpower may be.
The fragrance of camel bells around them grew stronger, and Wan Qingzhou finally gave up resisting. He looked directly at Wen Zhiyi with his reddened eyes, his voice surprisingly hoarse: "I will take responsibility."
Wen Zhiyi couldn't listen to any of that anymore. She just felt that he was rambling on and on, dragging his feet and not getting to the point. So she simply lowered her head and kissed his thin lips.
...
That night, Wan Qingzhou woke up with a headache.
When he opened his eyes, he immediately saw Wen Zhiyi lying in his arms.
She was fast asleep, but seemingly annoyed by his movements, she unconsciously frowned and snuggled closer to him.
After a chaotic day, looking at her now, Wan Qingzhou felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
He couldn't resist and gently kissed her forehead before helping her get dressed.
She was probably too tired, because she didn't show any signs of waking up at all.
Little did he know that Wen Zhiyi had already woken up, but was deliberately keeping her eyes closed out of shyness.
Afterwards, Wan Qingzhou finished dressing, and a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere. So you two were hiding here having an affair."
Wan Qingzhou suddenly looked up and heard a loud crash as the door was cleaved open by Shi Yu.
He received the note yesterday and rushed over to Wen Zhiyi's place. He was being cautious and left a signal for Shi Yu.
As it turned out, this guy was unreliable and only showed up at night.
He showed up and made sarcastic remarks, none of which were things he wanted to hear.
He gestured to him to be quiet and to talk outside, then got up, glanced at Wen Zhiyi, casually put on his coat, and followed Shi Yu out the door.
It was completely dark outside, and the surroundings were very quiet, with only the cold moonlight shining down.
Seeing Wan Qingzhou's satisfied expression, Shi Yu said irritably, "Speak, what happened? Do you have a problem with reading comprehension? Your mission was to steal the jade pendant, not to steal a person."
Wan Qingzhou: "..."
Without saying a word, he flicked Shi Yu's forehead: "Can't you speak properly?"
"Is it that you don't know how to do your job properly! Wan Qingzhou, do you even know what you're doing? You may be capable, but the current Boss Tang is not the same Boss Tang as before. He's not someone to be trifled with!" Outside, to prevent eavesdropping, they were used to calling Tang Zhi Boss Tang. At this moment, Shi Yu felt that the person in front of him was simply unreasonable.
The once calm and composed Wan Qingzhou is gone, replaced by a pure, love-obsessed person.
Wan Qingzhou let out a breath: "I understand, but it's a long story. Zhiyi and I were set up."
He recounted everything that had happened yesterday, and concluded by saying, "I sensed something was wrong the moment that little beggar suddenly appeared. But what's wrong with you? Why are you so late?"
"I also need to be able to get away!" Shi Yu said speechlessly, "Yesterday, Boss Tang summoned me back and gave me an extra task at the last minute. I didn't see the mark you left until I finished working on it."
He looked at Wan Qingzhou and said, "Don't blame me. I think this is exactly what you want."
"Bullshit, she's an innocent girl, and under these circumstances... never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you more."
Wan Qingzhou felt a heavy weight in his heart, not only because he still had unfulfilled obligations, but also because he was worried about what Wen Zhiyi would think of him when she woke up.
But no matter what she thought, he had already made his decision.
Shi Yu, standing nearby, said coldly, "Yes, I don't understand. All I know is that now is the perfect opportunity to get the jade pendant, since she hasn't woken up yet."
Wan Qingzhou immediately retorted, "Not now."
Shi Yu's eyes widened: "Wan Qingzhou, what do you mean? You don't mean you've really fallen for her? You want to take responsibility for her? Are you crazy?!"
Wan Qingzhou looked at him and asked in return, "Why can't I take responsibility?"
Shi Yu thought he was completely out of his mind: "What is your identity, and what is Wen Zhiyi's identity? You want to elope with her? Not to mention you won't be able to explain it to Boss Tang, do you think the Wen family will accept you? You're just a wandering swordsman!"
Shi Yu became more and more agitated as she spoke, and simply pushed him away: "No, I can't watch you do such a foolish thing. Since you can't do it, I'll help you complete this task!"
Seeing this, Wan Qingzhou stopped him abruptly: "What are you trying to do?"
"Kill her, take the jade pendant, and I'll leave with you!" Shi Yu retorted without backing down: "Before, you were worried about the Wen family behind her, saying that acting rashly might attract their attention and cause unnecessary trouble. Well then, let's just take action now and kill her. No one will know it was us, and we can eliminate any future problems!"
