The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 541 - 505: No One Should Think of Sleeping
"Does Gu Yanjing know?" Liu Zhou asked.
Qiao Yuxian lifted her gaze to him.
Not hearing her response, Liu Zhou turned his head to look at her.
The two stared at each other for a moment, then Liu Zhou realized, "Oh, Gu Yanjing still doesn’t know."
Qiao Yuxian said nothing.
Liu Zhou rested his arm on the car window, "I was a bit startled by you tonight, my brain isn’t functioning well."
Qiao Yuxian still remained silent.
Liu Zhou asked again, "So, what do you plan to do about Gu Zhengyu?"
Wen Mingcheng was attacked by Wuqi.
Although he’s conscious now.
Wuqi intended to kill him.
Wen Mingcheng is fine only because he’s lucky.
It has nothing to do with Wuqi’s attempt failing.
Now that Wuqi is taken care of.
The person who hired him also needs to be dealt with.
"I’ve already sent someone to handle it." Qiao Yuxian’s right arm was on the car window, her hand supporting her temple, "There will be results by dawn."
Liu Zhou once again looked at Qiao Yuxian, shocked, and asked again, "Does Gu Yanjing know?"
Qiao Yuxian lifted her eyes to him.
There was a fierce determination in her eyes.
Liu Zhou stared at her for a while, then recalled, "Oh. Gu Yanjing doesn’t know."
After saying this, he got excited, "Gu Yanjing doesn’t know... but he’s his biological father. No matter what, he’s his biological father. And you’re his wife. You handled it on your own... without telling him anything?"
Qiao Yuxian supported her temple, glancing at him.
She was truly a bit sleepy.
That painkiller might have had some sedative component.
This current sleepy feeling wasn’t like truly wanting to sleep.
This kind of sleepiness seemed to force you to shut down and close your eyes.
She showed only her eyes, with a slightly indifferent and somewhat bewildered look.
Yet, it gave a feeling of coldness and oppression.
The usual tenderness was gone, replaced by an elusive sense of carefree arrogance.
"When I want to do something, since when do I need to tell anyone?" Qiao Yuxian replied flatly.
After hearing her words,
Liu Zhou’s mind conjured up three words: Quite audacious.
But those three words quickly vanished in his mind.
Liu Zhou added a reply to her words, "Ever since you met Gu Yanjing."
Qiao Yuxian: "......"
"Sister Xian, you need to think this matter over," Liu Zhou said, "You need to talk to Gu Yanjing."
"Hmm." Qiao Yuxian closed her eyes, "Got it."
Seeing her close her eyes, Liu Zhou asked, "Should I take you back?"
"You finally thought of taking me back," Qiao Yuxian said, "Hurry then. I’ll sleep for a bit. I can’t keep my eyes open."
"Alright." Liu Zhou said, "Through the main entrance?"
"No, outside the premises." Qiao Yuxian replied.
"Okay."
...
Qiao Yuxian slept all the way.
She woke up when they forcibly stopped outside Taohua Manor.
Sitting in the car for a while, she unfastened the seatbelt, ready to get off.
Just as her hand touched the car door, Liu Zhou said, "Sister Xian. I’ve been thinking all the way."
Qiao Yuxian turned to look at him.
"I finally understood. You’re not telling Gu Yanjing about Wuqi and Gu Zhengyu’s matter for his own good," Liu Zhou said, "You fear he’d be upset, so you wanted to handle things on your own."
Qiao Yuxian still said nothing.
"But... you see," Liu Zhou said, "Although you’re doing this for his good, it’s still... It’s his father. I’m worried he’ll..."
"I didn’t use our people," Qiao Yuxian said, "The matter with Gu Zhengyu, no one will know it was me."
Liu Zhou was surprised, then immediately asked, "Did you find someone from D Continent?"
"Yes." Qiao Yuxian nodded.
Liu Zhou let out a sigh of relief.
"I was too tired earlier and forgot to tell you," Qiao Yuxian added.
"No worries." Liu Zhou said, "Hurry back."
"Mm."
Qiao Yuxian opened the car door and got off.
Outside, she felt the chilly breeze.
She pressed down the cap she had pushed up in the car.
Then walked towards Taohua Manor.
Although it’s already summer.
The night wind is still a bit cool.
Especially since she’s missing a sleeve.
She didn’t take off her cap or mask, dressed all in black, with a mysterious and powerful aura, and... exposed an arm.
The exposed arm was bandaged.
Her outfit...
Qiao Yuxian took a few steps forward, then retreated back, opening Liu Zhou’s car door.
"You’re laughing at me," Qiao Yuxian said.
Liu Zhou’s eyes carried traces of laughter that he couldn’t completely stifle, trying to keep a straight face, "No."
Those two words completely exposed him.
Because the tone at the end turned.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him.
Liu Zhou no longer pretended and directly laughed.
His laughter was always silent.
Qiao Yuxian never heard him laugh out loud.
"Your outfit is a bit too fashionable," Liu Zhou said while laughing.
Qiao Yuxian: "......"
Liu Zhou continued to laugh silently.
"Laugh all you want!" She said, slamming the car door shut, then turned to quickly walk into the darkness.
No one was in the corners tonight.
Qiao Yuxian smoothly entered Taohua Manor.
And unnoticed returned to her room.
Upon entering, she first went to the bathroom, avoiding the injuries to take a shower.
She took care of her clothes as well.
After changing into pajamas, Qiao Yuxian felt significantly more relaxed.
Though she still hurt in many places.
Lower back pain, shoulder pain, wound pain...
Also bruises here and there.
Qiao Yuxian lay on the bed, sunk into it, burying her head in the covers.
Carefully assessing her body, she realized everywhere hurt.
She even felt pain in her fingertips.
Though she was tired enough in the car not to open her eyes.
Lying in bed to sleep, yet couldn’t fall asleep.
"What kind of drug effect is this, only lasts for a short while," Qiao Yuxian said irritably, turning to lie flat looking at the ceiling.
Gu Yanjing and Gu Zhengyu have a huge conflict.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be rumors outside about Gu Yanjing’s patricide.
But as Liu Zhou said.
No matter what, he’s his father.
Gu Zhengyu was ruthless enough to consider killing Gu Yanjing.
But based on her understanding of Gu Yanjing, she felt he might not be able to do the same to Gu Zhengyu.
If Gu Zhengyu had targeted Gu Yanjing’s mother.
Gu Yanjing might have been able to do it.
But Gu Zhengyu’s target was him...
Qiao Yuxian looked at the ceiling, her eyes gently blinking.
She dealt with Gu Zhengyu.
She instinctively didn’t want Gu Yanjing to know.
Just like she didn’t want him to know that Gu Zhengyu had hired Wuqi to kill him.
She wanted to resolve the matter quietly.
She worried that Gu Yanjing would be upset if he found out.
Qiao Yuxian turned lying on the side, just for a moment, her right shoulder hurt, so she turned back.
But now what worried her wasn’t this matter. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
It’s what to do with her injuries.
Qiao Yuxian closed her eyes, after a while sighed.
After a while, sighed again.
Then after a while, just as she was about to sigh a third time, her phone rang.
The same string of special ringtone.
Qiao Yuxian opened her eyes, got up, walked to the lazy sofa, took out the computer from below, and turned it on.
It was the underground fight club contacting her.
The matter had been resolved. They even sent photos over.
Qiao Yuxian glanced quickly, then transferred the remaining part of the money to them.
After the task was done, she exited the page, closed the computer.
But when the cursor was over the shutdown button, her hand paused.
Then she typed for a while on the keyboard.
She triggered the alarm at the Hacker Alliance building.
She couldn’t sleep.
So no one would.
