Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Still Have to Guard Against K

Xiao Chen supported her and didn’t get into the car, but instead took her hand and walked down Beijing’s busiest street.

Yun Yue felt the night breeze, and the effects of alcohol sobered her up a bit; her delicate little face blushed slightly. ƒreewebɳovel.com

She hopped on the ceramic tiles on the ground, jumping from one to another, while Xiao Chen held her hand tightly, afraid that she would fall.

The playfulness and charm she exhibited in such moments were endearing and carefree, exactly how a girl her age should be.

Suddenly, Yun Yue stopped and turned around, puzzled, "Is something wrong?"

Xiao Chen stood still, his deep, dark eyes reflecting the alternating lights under the streetlamp, and the gentle breeze joined the moment as their gazes collided, filled with an abundance of emotions.

The man pulled her forcefully, imprisoning her in his arms, smelling the unique scent of his hormones. The alcohol numbed her brain, leaving her a bit dazed.

"Sister Yue, I’m really scared of losing you."

Yun Yue knew he was referring to the time when she had an accident; surviving had been a miracle, but what if there had been no miracle?

What would he have done?

Feng Ye told her that back then, he had been sitting on the ground, desolate and lifeless like a soulless corpse, not closing his eyes for a day and a night, guarding outside the operating room and the ward.

"Sister Yue, let’s get married. Once everything is settled, we’ll find Master Qi to pick a date and make you the Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law."

"Okay," Yun Yue leaned into his embrace, feeling incredibly secure.

Xiao Chen placed his hands on her shoulders, his gaze resolute, "But this time, you cannot take risks anymore, I’ll handle it."

Yun Yue hesitated for a few seconds before slowly saying, "Okay, but there’s one thing I hope you’ll promise."

Xiao Chen’s thin lips parted slightly, "Speak."

"I must be the one to take Qiu Jun’s life!"

This was her promise to her grandfather, she had to avenge him.

"Okay." Xiao Chen agreed readily; if she wanted Qiu Jun’s life, he would bring Qiu Jun to her.

"Brother, would you like to buy a flower for the pretty sister?"

Suddenly, a little girl stood at their feet. The girl was wearing a cute, pink dress, slightly worn but very clean, and her round little face had a sweet voice when she spoke.

Yun Yue crouched down and saw the two roses the girl was holding.

"Little friend, why are you alone so late? Where’s your mother?"

"Mommy is over there."

Following the direction the girl pointed, they saw a plainly dressed couple running a flower stall; the wife appeared to be pregnant and a bit heavy, while the husband was rubbing her back.

"Mama is pregnant with my little brother. Daddy has to take care of me and Mama every day. Brother, please buy a flower; they’re very cheap, just ten yuan each."

"Alright, I’ll buy them; I’ll take the two roses you have," Xiao Chen opened his wallet, which contained a few thousand yuan in cash.

He handed over a Hundred Yuan Coin to the little girl.

"Brother, wait a minute; I’ll go get your change from Dad." The little girl trotted over to her father, holding the coin.

Xiao Chen grabbed the back of her dress and pulled her back, smiling, "No need for change, use the rest to buy some candy."

"No, that’s not okay. Father said we shouldn’t just take things from others for nothing. Brother, you only bought two flowers, you should get eighty in change." The little girl looked up at Xiao Chen.

"No, really, I’m happy just to buy your flowers. Keep the change for candy."

Saying this, Xiao Chen handed the two roses to Yun Yue.

Yun Yue looked at the two flowers before her, slightly stunned, never expecting that he too, would one day resort to such a clichéd method to give her flowers.

She was still very happy to take it.

The two walked two more streets, then sat together on a bench on the sidewalk, quietly sitting there like a watercolor splash on an ink painting, tranquil and lovely.

Xiao Feng slowly parked the car by the roadside.

Xiao Chen turned his head and glanced at the person leaning on his shoulder, who had fallen asleep.

He supported her head with his hand and then carefully lifted her into a horizontal embrace, getting into the car.

Xiao Feng drove very smoothly, and finally arrived at Shengting; the person in his arms moved a bit, burrowing her small head and then fell back to sleep.

After putting her on the bed, she was quite good at enjoying herself, finding a comfortable position and falling asleep.

Xiao Chen was somewhat helpless, went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of water, wiped her face clean, then covered her with a quilt, and finally turned off the light before leaving the room.

In the study, smoke wreathed around Xiao Chen, who sat quietly in his chair like a dimly colored oil painting in a dark corner of a castle, seemingly having been disconnected from the world for countless years, his eyes shimmering with a cool, faint light.

"Master Chen, just as you predicted, Qiu Jun now completely controls the Underground Alliance and used Uncle Fu to eliminate the remaining forces of He Yao. Now his word is law. What should we do next?"

They had underestimated Qiu Jun; they did not expect his ambition to be so great.

"Join forces with the people from the Forbidden Zone; they won’t have any chance to fight back."

He must win this game!

"The Forbidden Zone?"

Upon hearing "Forbidden Zone," Xiao Dian thought of someone.

"My brother just realized there’s a ’K’ in the Underground Alliance, but she’s been missing for three years. If she returns to the Underground Alliance, we might suffer heavy losses."

At the mention of K, the faces of several people darkened.

Back when Master Chen and K had clashed, both nearly died at one another’s hands. If Master Chen was still alive, then K must be too. Would she really reappear after three years of disappearance?

"Maybe K won’t show up again," murmured Xiao Feng.

"What did you just say, Xiao Feng?" Feng Ye heard his voice.

The others were also curious about what he had said.

Xiao Feng repeated, "I said, maybe K won’t show up again."

"You’re not K; how would you know she won’t appear? Back then, K was the number one general of the Underground Alliance. Even those people from the Forbidden Zone were afraid of her. If she comes out to support the Underground Alliance, it would be highly disadvantageous for us," Feng Ye didn’t take his words seriously.

In any case, they must be prepared. If K really did appear, they shouldn’t be caught off guard!

"Mr. Feng is right, the best course of action is to develop a plan in case K reappears."

"That’s unnecessary..."

"Why unnecessary? Xiao Feng, you are acting strange. Do you know something?" Jiang Qi asked, uncertain.

Was there something Xiao Feng knew that they didn’t?!

Hadn’t Xiao Feng always been by Sister Yue’s side? Normally during meetings, he was so quiet, so why was he so talkative today?

"What could I possibly know... You continue, please continue..." Xiao Feng discreetly closed his mouth.

That was Miss Yun’s secret; it looked like Master Chen didn’t know, so he definitely couldn’t say anything.

Miss Yun must have her reasons for keeping it to herself.

Xiao Chen wore a deeply inscrutable expression as he touched the Pearl that had cost two billion to acquire.

After the meeting ended, Xiao Chen made a phone call.
