CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: WHAT DID I MISS AFTER ALL?

"So what if I just obey him!"

"What’s wrong with me wanting to work for him?!"

"Who cares what the Qin Family’s bunch of idiots think!"

"You got a problem? And who the hell are you, huh? If you can’t stand it, just drop dead."

Each time Qin Kai yelled, he slapped Sun Kai across the face, unleashing all the frustration that had built up from being completely dominated by Lu Xiao over the past few days.

A good five hefty slaps later, Sun Kai’s face was swollen like a pig’s head.

"Send him to the hospital, then have someone come audit the accounts," Qin Kai ordered the two bodyguards he had brought with him.

Don’t think a few slaps will do the job; I still have to send you to jail.

Already being tightly controlled by Lu Xiao was painful enough, and here you keep ripping open my wounds.

Damn!

The two bodyguards were quite efficient, grabbing Sun Kai under each arm and dragging him away immediately.

"Alright, the job was done fairly well." Lu Xiao nodded, then pointed to Chen Fei and Chen Han, "Perfect timing to introduce you guys, this is Chen Han, and his sister, Chen Fei."

Qin Kai grimaced. What are you introducing them for, I don’t know them anyway.

Besides, not everyone deserves to know me, Qin Kai.

"Hello, Young Master Qin," Chen Fei said with a wave and a smile.

At the sound of Chen Fei’s voice, Qin Kai felt completely overwhelmed.

He knew that voice all too well—it was the woman from the White Clothes Pavilion who had taken his order for Lu Xiao’s assassination over the phone!

F*ck, she’s one of Lu Xiao’s people too?

"Young Master Qin, about that five million—should we return it?" Chen Han asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Return my ass," Qin Kai rolled his eyes.

Besides, even if I asked you two to pay, could you even give it to me?

Step back ten thousand steps, even if you returned the money, I’ll bet Lu Xiao would come to break my legs again.

"Hey, we’re all family here, let’s not talk money. I’ll treat you guys to dinner," Qin Kai said as he walked up to Chen Han with a smile.

Although unclear about what exactly had happened just now, Lu Xiao was apparently standing up for Chen Fei and Chen Han.

Being protected by Lu Xiao this way, they must be his trusted people.

Good relations would definitely benefit me in the future.

"Little Han..." As the four were about to enter the private room, Gu Yue suddenly appeared, latching onto Chen Han’s arm.

The muscles in Lu Xiao’s and Chen Fei’s faces twitched—this woman was unbearable to watch.

She had truly mastered the art of playing the hierarchy game.

"I was just joking with you earlier."

"I did that just to see if you truly cared about me, to see if you would overcome all obstacles for me."

"You’ve passed my test, let’s be together!" Gu Yue burst out in rapid succession.

Lu Xiao was so embarrassed that he cringed, feeling like burrowing a three-bedroom flat into the ground with his toes.

Jesus, how could she even say those things?

Of course, neither Lu Xiao nor Chen Fei said anything, leaving the decision to Chen Han.

"So, who exactly is unworthy of whom?" Chen Han turned and asked Gu Yue.

"Of course, it’s me who’s not worthy of Little Han," Gu Yue said with a beaming smile.

"Knowing you’re unworthy and still standing here? Get lost." With that, Chen Han shook off Gu Yue’s arm.

I might be inexperienced in love, but I’m not a complete fool.

Lu Xiao and Chen Fei were both very pleased with Chen Han’s choice.

...

The four of them ate from ten at night until half past eleven, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

After all, it was Qin Kai’s place, so the bill was ultimately picked up by Mr. Qin.

During the meal, the relationship between Qin Kai and Lu Xiao stayed the same, lukewarm; however, sparks quickly flew between Chen Han and Qin Kai, and by the time they left the restaurant, they were already arm in arm, bonding like close brothers.

"Sis, you and Mr. Lu head back first, I’ll go to the bar with Young Master Qin."

Chen Fei initially wanted to stop him but ultimately didn’t say anything.

Chen Han had always been short on friends, so it was rare for him to hit it off with Qin Kai.

Plus, there was the breakup with Gu Yue. Although Chen Han appeared nonchalant on the surface, during the meal, the guy was clearly distracted several times.

It would be good for him to have some fun and relax a bit.

"Have fun, but no messing around," Chen Fei admonished Chen Han.

Then Chen Fei looked at Qin Kai: "You know what I do for a living, Young Master Qin, so I won’t make any threats. Just don’t lead Chen Han astray, got it?"

Qin Kai swallowed hard, nodding like a pecking chicken.

...

By the time Lu Xiao and Chen Fei got back to the villa, it was already early morning.

"Mr. Lu can sleep in this room." After going upstairs, Chen Fei pointed towards the master bedroom.

"The room has been tidied up, and the sheets and blankets have been changed to new ones. I’ve also left some newly-bought clothes inside, though I’m not sure if they’ll fit you."

She had been living in the master bedroom before, but now that Lu Xiao was moving in, she definitely had to give it up to him.

She still understood the difference between primary and secondary status.

Lu Xiao couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim, it was indeed comforting to be with a girl who had both intelligence and emotional quotient.

She had even considered and properly arranged details like who got the master bedroom and the guest bedroom.

"Much appreciated. I could really use a shower and change of clothes; my clothes got all smoky from the meal."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Chen Fei couldn’t help but lift her arm and sniff her own sleeve.

It indeed smelled like a mix of various foods.

"Yeah, I’m going to take a shower too," Chen Fei casually remarked.

"Need me to help you with that?"

As soon as Lu Xiao’s remark dropped, the atmosphere suddenly turned weird.

Soon, Chen Fei’s cheeks began to heat up; she hadn’t expected Mr. Lu to be that kind of person.

You should at least confess your feelings first, then cultivate a relationship for a while, letting emotions escalate before making such requests.

Coming on so directly was just too fast.

But then Chen Fei reconsidered; perhaps those steps weren’t necessary after all.

Efficiency is key to us assassins, going directly to the point was also acceptable.

"Okay then."

"I’ll get the bathwater ready for you then. Just call me when you’re done, and I’ll come clean up the bathroom," Lu Xiao said seriously.

Chen Fei: ???

"You mean your help is just to prepare my bathwater?"

"Yeah, isn’t your stomach wounded? Otherwise, how else could I help you with the bath?"

The conversation ended, and once again the atmosphere turned quiet and awkward.

"No need, I can manage myself." A few seconds later, Chen Fei turned and left quickly.

It was only then that Lu Xiao finally realized, painfully aware, and his eyes widened.

F*ck!

Chen Fei just now thought I was offering to help her bathe, and she actually agreed.

What exactly did I miss?!

...
