Su Ling looked at the affectionate couple beside her, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Who wouldn't want a perfect husband? Who wouldn't want a lifetime with one person, half-drunk, half-awake, half-floating through life?
But her fiancé… he was simply not presentable.
"Oh? Why are you still here?" Jiang Junyi looked at Su Ling.
Su Ling's blood rushed to her head, "I'm so sorry! I'm leaving right now!"
"Lingling~" Wan Qingyun called out, "It's already noon, and I'm actually a bit tired."
"Next time, okay?"
Listening to Wan Qingyun's gentle voice, Su Ling's emotions gradually calmed down. She also knew that Wan Qingyun was probably genuinely tired.
She was already very happy that Qingyun had agreed to come out.
If Jiang Junyi hadn't come, Su Ling would have prepared to return with Wan Qingyun.
"Alright, then next time it is." Su Ling took Wan Qingyun's hand and gently shook it.
"Mm-hmm."
After Su Ling left, Jiang Junyi leaned over to Wan Qingyun, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, 'Lingling,' 'Lingling,' how intimate."
"What are you doing?" Wan Qingyun pinched Jiang Junyi's face, "Su Ling is actually quite nice."
Jiang Junyi held Wan Qingyun's soft hand, "I don't care about that."
He came behind Wan Qingyun and pushed her towards the street exit, "The fact that you were willing to come out shows Su Ling's character."
"What truly makes me happy is that you've made your first friend."
This was Jiang Junyi's sincere thought. In the past, Wan Qingyun had no friends; besides her younger sister, she was always alone.
But Wan Xiaoxiao couldn't truly understand Wan Qingyun's suffering.
Now, Wan Qingyun's willingness to go shopping with Su Ling was a very good sign.
Jiang Junyi had read a saying: the essence of a person is the sum of their social relationships.
If Wan Qingyun only stayed with him, she might lose herself.
This was not what Jiang Junyi wanted to see.
When Wan Qingyun heard these words, her heart felt as sweet as honey.
She fell in love with Jiang Junyi not because he relentlessly pursued her, nor because he was powerful and influential.
His inherent personal charm was enough to make her fall for him.
"Why are you so good…" Wan Qingyun softly uttered.
Jiang Junyi was slightly startled, then smiled, "Hmm… perhaps I have to be this good to meet you, right?"
Wan Qingyun's cheeks flushed slightly, "Smooth talker."
"Then do you want to taste?"
"No."
Jiang Junyi chuckled and pushed Wan Qingyun forward.
"It's not like I haven't tasted it before…" Wan Qingyun mumbled softly, her face red.
At this moment, a boy dressed like a flower boy, carrying a basket of roses, skipped towards Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun.
"Giegie (brother), giegie, buy a bouquet of flowers for Jiejie (sister)."
Jiang Junyi took a deep breath, his hand gripping the wheelchair slightly tighter, "You… speak normally!"
The boy shook the roses in his hand, speaking in a high-pitched voice, "This is my normal voice~"
Wan Qingyun looked puzzled, "Junyi, this… isn't necessary, is it?"
Jiang Junyi snatched the roses from the boy's hand and said fiercely, "Scram!"
"Wuwuwu, Giegie is scolding me." The boy pretended to cry and left.
Wan Qingyun was full of questions, turning her head to look at Jiang Junyi.
"An acquaintance, he's a prankster (referring to someone who is mischievous, plays pranks, and livens up the atmosphere)." Jiang Junyi explained.
"Oh~~"
"Here, there's one thing he did well: these roses suit you very much~"
Jiang Junyi placed the bouquet on Wan Qingyun's lap:
"It's just a pity…"
Wan Qingyun picked up the roses. Hearing Jiang Junyi say 'pity,' she couldn't help but ask, "Pity what?"
Jiang Junyi leaned down, "Pity, the flowers aren't as beautiful as my Qingyun."
Wan Qingyun lightly tapped Jiang Junyi with the bouquet, a hint of shyness in her expression, "Stop talking like that…"
"You're going to praise me into the most beautiful woman in the world…"
Jiang Junyi swayed slightly, in a joyful mood, "I'm just stating facts."
Wan Qingyun sighed softly, smiling helplessly, "I really can't argue with you."
...
After returning home and resting for a while, Jiang Junyi, as usual, gave Wan Qingyun a foot massage.
Foot massage is also a way, and technique is also a method; the way and method are natural!
He always felt that as long as he persevered, one day his divine skill would be perfected.
Then Wan Qingyun's baby would be able to stand up!
Wan Qingyun listened to Jiang Junyi's gradually heavier breathing, her brows filled with worry:
"Junyi, why don't you stop massaging me from now on?"
"It consumes too much energy."
Jiang Junyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's nothing. If I don't persevere, how will I know the final outcome?"
Wan Qingyun couldn't argue with him and could only obediently accept.
After all, it was just a deeper love.
"Lord, there's something you need to finalize."
Capricorn's voice echoed in Wan Qingyun's mind.
Wan Qingyun's delicate brows furrowed. For Capricorn to send a message at this time, it must be extremely urgent.
However, given Capricorn's nature, she wouldn't emphasize the severity of the matter.
"Pa!"
At this point, Jiang Junyi's massage also came to an end. He gave Wan Qingyun's fair, delicate sole a final pat, finished!
Wan Qingyun looked at Jiang Junyi and softly said, "Junyi, I have some matters to attend to…"
Jiang Junyi's eyes flashed upon hearing this. Was the Black Palace preparing to act?
"Okay~ You go~" Jiang Junyi kissed Wan Qingyun's forehead, gently placing her back in her wheelchair, "Then I'll leave first. Uncle Wu also sent a message; there are some things at home."
"Mhm~"
Even though Wan Qingyun was reluctant, she had no choice. The matters of the Black Palace involved the great vendetta from back then and had to be taken seriously.
After Jiang Junyi walked out of the Wan Family, shadows gradually wrapped around him, slowly disappearing…
At Xingluo Daycare Center, the Black Palace members were ready.
"Has Shadow not arrived yet?" Wang Hao frowned.
"I @ him in the group, but he didn't reply." Feng Liuliu shrugged, "But if he saw it, he should arrive very quickly."
"Whoosh~ Swish!"
A small tornado formed by shadows appeared on an empty chair.
As the tornado disappeared, Shadow appeared, full of imposing aura.
He crossed his legs and covered his face with his hand, "Who is it that summons my name?"
Leo's eyes gleamed with golden light; he had to learn that too!
Everyone was speechless. Besides when he was on missions, Shadow was a bit abstract at other times.
"Su Shuang has confirmed that she will meet Lin Xiu after school at an abandoned basketball court in Su Shuang's original residential complex."
Feng Liuliu pushed up his glasses, first outlining the basic plan.
Jiang Junyi nodded, "All members?"
"All members." Feng Liuliu nodded, "According to my estimation, after the last ambush, there's a high probability that Lin Xiu is surrounded by Dragon King Palace members."
"And, a peak Little Grandmaster protecting him."
"This operation must be swift. Any delay could lead to complications. We don't know what other trump cards the Dragon King Palace has."
Jiang Junyi snapped his fingers, "No problem. Two horizontal, one vertical means 'get it done'; two dots, one force means 'make it happen'!"
At this moment, Capricorn emerged from the fluctuating shadows, "I will block the strong ones from the Dragon King Palace."
"Also, Lord will personally attend."
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised, then excited.
Finally, they would be able to see Lord in action!
Jiang Junyi, however, frowned and sighed silently.
Forget it, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
And all these arrangements were only to kill Lin Xiu!
