The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 537 - 501 Rushing for Time

Ever since arriving in D Continent, Gu Yanjing has gone out a few times.

Because Taohua Manor is the power base of the Gu Group and the Lu Family in D Continent.

Maybe he didn’t deliberately disguise himself when going out.

It’s likely that the news of Gu Yanjing being in D Continent has already spread.

So... it might not be just Gu Zhengyu.

Perhaps quite a few forces without the strength to pass through the Hacker Alliance, to have their traces hidden by them, have been keeping an eye on Gu Yanjing.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the ordering information on the computer.

Gu Zhengyu placed the order this morning.

Wuqi accepted it at eight in the evening.

It’s now almost nine.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the time, and the look in her eyes grew colder inch by inch.

Murderous intent piled up bit by bit in her eyes.

But more than that, she felt heartache.

A biological father wanting his own son’s life.

Qiao Yuxian felt pulled by various emotions, as if her heart were being torn open.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the bedroom door.

The look in Qiao Yuxian’s eyes shifted. She closed the laptop, pressing it directly under the lazy couch.

By the time Gu Yanjing entered the bedroom, she was already wearing a face mask, holding a tablet and watching a show.

Hearing the footsteps, she looked towards the door: "Finished the meeting?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing walked over, reached out with his fingers and pressed on her face mask, smoothing a bubbly area on the side of her face.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him: "Going out?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing squatted beside her, squeezed her fingers, "Something came up temporarily."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, her expression somewhat pitiful: "Not coming back tonight?"

Gu Yanjing met her eyes, paused for two seconds, and said, "Yes."

Qiao Yuxian pursed her lips, putting on a face ready to cry.

Gu Yanjing said, "Your mask is coming off."

Qiao Yuxian immediately changed her expression, quickly pressing on the mask: "What about tomorrow? Coming back?"

"I’ll try." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Alright."

Gu Yanjing continued holding her fingers without speaking.

Qiao Yuxian asked again: "Leaving now?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing replied.

"Why are you busier here than back home?" Qiao Yuxian dragged her voice, "My husband has started not coming home at night."

Gu Yanjing stroked her head: "I’ll get back in a couple of days."

"But the matter with the drug hasn’t settled yet," Qiao Yuxian said.

"Have them keep investigating; update me with any new information," Gu Yanjing said.

"Alright," Qiao Yuxian nodded.

"Is it okay now?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"What?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

Gu Yanjing glanced at her face mask.

Qiao Yuxian realized, checked the time: "Yeah, I’ll go wash it off."

Qiao Yuxian put down the tablet and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

Gu Yanjing’s gaze followed her.

Watching her enter the bathroom, shortly after, the sound of running water started.

When the water stopped, Gu Yanjing got up and walked towards the bathroom.

Qiao Yuxian was wiping her face with a tissue, heard footsteps, and glanced towards the bathroom door.

Gu Yanjing walked in.

Qiao Yuxian finished wiping her face, threw the tissue in the basket, turned to look at him: "What’s..."

Before she could finish, Gu Yanjing picked her up.

Like usual, he grabbed a towel, placed it on the sink, then put her on the towel.

Qiao Yuxian naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes filled with delicate laughter: "Mr. Gu, is it that urgent?"

"Yes," Gu Yanjing replied straightforwardly, "I’m pressed for time."

Then, Gu Yanjing kissed her.

Ten minutes passed, but the rushed Mr. Gu still hadn’t left.

Qiao Yuxian felt she was being drained of all her energy by the "demon"...

She pushed his shoulder.

Gu Yanjing held her tighter.

She pushed with more force.

Mr. Gu’s fingers inside her clothes lightly pressed down.

Qiao Yuxian suddenly trembled, unable to control her voice.

Finally, Qiao Yuxian repeatedly hit his shoulder.

Not hard, nor with much force, yet her determination to resist was very clear.

Gu Yanjing let go of her, slowly kissed the corner of her mouth.

Qiao Yuxian pushed his shoulder, making him back off a little, and leaned back herself, gasping for air.

"Ah."

Gu Yanjing pulled back her leaned head.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Her eyes held a layer of moisture, bright with a hint of desire.

Each time, as long as Gu Yanjing kissed her for a bit longer, a layer of moisture would appear in her eyes.

Any longer, or with further actions, she would cry.

She found she couldn’t control it.

She didn’t understand why these tears came.

Couldn’t find the source, couldn’t control it.

If one had to speak of a source, it would be only to ask Gu Yanjing not to touch her.

Gu Yanjing leaned in and kissed her eyes.

Qiao Yuxian closed her eyes, waited for him to finish, then opened them again to look at him: "Mr. Gu, weren’t you pressed for time?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing responded with perfect justification.

"Then why are you..." Qiao Yuxian stopped, lowered her gaze, "Uh oh, you won’t be leaving soon."

Gu Yanjing chuckled slightly.

"You’re laughing," Qiao Yuxian said, "Aren’t they waiting for you outside?"

Gu Yanjing held her in his arms, silently acknowledging it.

Qiao Yuxian leaned on his shoulder, paused, then asked: "Need help?"

"It’ll be fine in a moment," Gu Yanjing said.

"Are you sure?" Qiao Yuxian, being cheeky, wasn’t stopped, so she became more excessive, "I feel it’s getting more..."

Gu Yanjing’s hand reached behind her neck, covering her mouth.

She was stopped.

Qiao Yuxian was rendered speechless, and after two seconds, laughed silently.

Laughing so much her shoulders shook.

Gu Yanjing held her, softly sighed, then laughed a little...

... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Gu Yanjing really seemed to be in a hurry.

He spared his only bit of time for Qiao Yuxian.

Afterward, he changed clothes and left.

Qiao Yuxian saw him to the door, assuring him not to worry about her.

She definitely would rest well, eat well, and obediently wait for his return.

After Gu Yanjing and his team left.

She returned to the room.

Meng Yan stayed behind once more.

Once again watching Qiao Yuxian head back to her room.

After that, Qiao Yuxian also once more changed her clothes in the room, grabbed a gun, took a dagger, turned off her room lights, and climbed out the window again.

She just spoke with Liu Zhou at the hospital not long ago.

For an assassin of Wuqi’s caliber, his whereabouts definitely wouldn’t leave any trace online.

The only thing remotely connected to the internet is that he accepts orders through the Hacker Alliance.

But there’s no way to find anything related to Wuqi at the order acceptance location.

Wuqi trusts the Hacker Alliance but still keeps some reservation with this trust.

How the person at the order location contacts Wuqi after accepting it is unknown.

Anyway, it definitely doesn’t involve the internet.

It’s most likely via express courier or carrier pigeon.

When Qiao Yuxian couldn’t find anything, that’s what she thought.

Leaving no trace, however good her hacking skills, she couldn’t find him online.

That’s how she reassured Liu Zhou.

But what Liu Zhou didn’t know is, regarding Wuqi, she doesn’t need to find him online.

Finding him is easy.

Because she knows where Wuqi’s lair is...
