CHAPTER 90: CHAPTER 90: POSSESSIVENESS SURGING IN THE HEART

Su Ruan held Lu Shinian’s hand and walked towards the Logistics Department, saying as they walked, "The teacher asked me to deliver something to Qian Duoduo."

Lu Shinian looked at their clasped hands, his gaze deepening. Although the softness emanating from her palm was still warm, the thought of his Ruan Ruan growing familiar with Qian Duoduo somehow stirred a suppressed possessiveness from within.

His jet-black pupils faintly glowing with a touch of red, he stared at Su Ruan’s small hand, lost in thought.

Upon arriving at the Logistics Department, Qian Duoduo was just about to test his new weapon in the yard when he saw Su Ruan approaching.

"Su Ruan!" Qian Duoduo waved at her, "What brings you here today..."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed Lu Shinian standing beside Su Ruan.

"Commander!" Qian Duoduo quickly saluted, his body instantly stiffening, standing straight.

Lu Shinian gave him a chilly look, startling Qian Duoduo to his core.

He couldn’t recall offending the Commander in any way, so why was the Commander giving him such a look?

Su Ruan was oblivious to the subtle "interaction" between the two. Seeing Qian Duoduo, she released Lu Shinian’s hand and swiftly walked over to him.

"The teacher asked me to give this to you."

Su Ruan handed the USB drive to Qian Duoduo, "The teacher said there’s only one copy of the information inside, and it must not be leaked."

Qian Duoduo solemnly accepted the USB drive and nodded seriously, "Okay, junior, thank you."

"Junior?" Lu Shinian’s voice carried a hint of danger. Had the address become this intimate?

Heh.

Qian Duoduo hurriedly explained, "We have the same teacher, it’s Ye Chong!"

"In terms of seniority, Su Ruan is indeed my junior."

At this moment, Qian Duoduo suddenly realized something.

If Su Ruan was his junior, then as Su Ruan’s husband, what was Lu Shinian to him? Junior brother? No, no.

Qian Duoduo quickly shook his head, dispelling the odd thoughts in his mind, and respectfully repeated his thanks.

"Thank you, Commander’s Wife!"

Only then did Lu Shinian’s chill slightly dissipate.

"Hmm." He responded faintly, stepped to Su Ruan’s side, and re-clasped her small hand, holding it tightly.

"Finished talking?" His voice was low, but just loud enough for Qian Duoduo to hear.

Although he was asking Su Ruan, it was more of a warning to Qian Duoduo.

Despite his usually thick nerves, Qian Duoduo managed to evade many dangers with some overly sharp intuition. Like now, he briskly and decisively said, "Finished!"

"Commander, Commander’s wife, have your chat! I need to get to work!"

After saying so, Qian Duoduo shouldered his newly developed weapon and ran off.

Su Ruan watched as Qian Duoduo disappeared in an instant and giggled, hooking her pinky into Lu Shinian’s palm, chuckling softly, "Commander Lu is so fierce?"

"You scared him away."

"He has work to do." Lu Shinian said in a serious tone, looking quite earnest, "I didn’t scare him away."

Su Ruan blinked, following his words, "Yes, yes, you didn’t scare him away."

Perhaps it’s the frequent ancestral stage lately, Su Ruan thought that even when normal, Lu Shinian seemed much more adorable?

Hmm... It must be an illusion.

Su Ruan thought to herself, taking Lu Shinian’s hand and leading him outside.

"I’ve completed my task, I’m heading home now."

Lu Shinian paused his steps, "Since you’re here, why not stay a while longer?"

Su Ruan shook her head, "I won’t disturb your work, I’m heading back."

As she said this, she let go of Lu Shinian’s hand, intending to leave.

Watching her back, the red in Lu Shinian’s eyes deepened, but he only replied softly, "Hmm."

After seeing Su Ruan onto the hovercar, Lu Shinian pressed his lips together and turned to head back to his office.

Ruan Ruan was right, he still had work to do. Once he finished his tasks, he would return home, to spend a good time with Ruan Ruan.

Su Ruan was unaware of what Lu Shinian was thinking. Having safely delivered the USB to Qian Duoduo, she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

After messaging Ye Chong to inform him that the USB had been delivered, she unknowingly dozed off in the car.

Meanwhile, in the Second World, the black market.

Su Heyuan, also known as the Second Master, finally contacted his big brother Su Hu through Ye Qing.

The two entered the same large dungeon, with about a hundred people inside, many of whom wore masks, making it impossible to identify each other.

While others planned on how to eliminate the insect race inside the dungeon, Su Heyuan and Su Hu stood together at the back of the crowd.

Su Heyuan took the lead, "I saw our sister. She’s doing well, no need to worry."

Hearing this, Su Hu let out a long sigh of relief, "That bastard Lu Shinian hasn’t bullied our sister, has he?"

"No." Su Heyuan spoke softly, "Our sister eloped because she found it thrilling, not because of anything Lu Shinian did."

Su Hu was taken aback, then quickly burst into laughter, "Haha! That’s our sister for you, eloping because it’s thrilling! Not bad, not bad! Making that bastard Lu Shinian look bad in public, nice, nice!"

After Su Hu finished speaking, Su Heyuan continued in a low voice, "What about your ancestral stage..."

"It’s not a big deal." Su Hu waved his hand, "During my ancestral stage, it’s just a bit of a temper flare; I tend to cause trouble, but with Ye Qing watching over me, it’s not a problem."

Su Heyuan was silent for two seconds, then spoke again, "Are you sure that weakling Ye Qing can handle you during the ancestral stage?"

Su Hu’s mouth twitched hard, "Second brother, don’t expose me."

"Oh." Su Heyuan replied coldly.

The silence spread between them, until after a while, Su Heyuan spoke again, "Have you contacted third brother?"

Su Hu shook his head, "No."

"But he’s not that easy to kill."

On this point, Su Heyuan agreed with his big brother’s words.

"Does third brother know about our sister’s marriage?" he asked again.

Su Hu rolled his eyes, "How would I know? I haven’t been able to contact him for years."

Su Heyuan was unsurprised by this answer. He stopped asking, noticing that the people ahead had begun their assault, he rubbed his wrists and spoke one last time.

"There’s a place in the self-service selling area where the energy stones have very low impurities, maybe it will help you. Be sure to have Ye Qing pay extra attention."

Having said that, Su Heyuan joined the battlefield.

Su Hu grinned, stretched his body, took out his weapon, and joined the battlefield from the other side.

In this vast sea of people, even if someone later caught any one of them, they would find no link between them.

As long as they knew each other was alive, they would never interfere with or inquire into what the other was doing.

This was the agreement among the Su Family’s three brothers.
