Chapter 509: Chapter 129: Wait for Me

Gu Xiaoxi played with Quan Mo for a while.

When Quan Mo felt tired,

Gu Xiaoxi took her back to wash off the sweat and read books with her, telling her children’s stories.

Quan Mo thought it was the happiest day she had had in a long time.

In the evening, the servants called Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Mo to go eat dinner.

As they walked, Gu Xiaoxi held Quan Mo’s hand and asked, "Did you have fun today?"

"Fun!" Quan Mo gripped Gu Xiaoxi’s fingers and didn’t want to let go.

"Good girl, I’ll come back and play with you again when I’m free." Gu Xiaoxi cautioned Quan Mo as they went downstairs, "Be careful."

But Quan Mo, pouting, asked, "Mommy, where are you planning to go?"

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and decided not to lie to her, "To a faraway place. To seek opportunities."

"How far is this place?" Quan Mo asked.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t know how to explain, "I’ll have to be gone for a while before I can return."

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the dining room.

To her surprise, Quan Shaoqing had also come back.

He was sitting next to Quan Gui and Song Xu, seemingly waiting for them to dine together.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly sat Quan Mo down in her chair and smiled apologetically at Quan Gui, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No problem, I just got here too. Now that we’re all here, let’s start eating!" Quan Gui said with a smile, "It’s rare for our family to be together. Let’s take this opportunity to drink a toast."

Saying that, he raised his glass first.

Quan Shaoqing glanced at Gu Xiaoxi, picked up his glass, then clinked glasses with everyone and took a small sip.

"You said you’re leaving! Where are you planning to go?" Quan Shaoqing asked in an indifferent tone.

Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t expected him to overhear and be questioned about it.

"I can’t unlock the third volume of Cultivation Techniques, so I need someone’s help. I’m going out to seek opportunities," Gu Xiaoxi explained.

"How long will that take?"

Quan Shaoqing looked at her, his casual tone forcing her to come clean, "About half a month!"

"Things haven’t been peaceful lately. It would be better if you had a destination," Quan Shaoqing said as he started eating with his chopsticks.

"Daddy, will you be in any danger?" Quan Mo tilted her head and asked with a clever look.

Quan Shaoqing touched her head, "I won’t be in any trouble in Kyoto."

The Nascent Soul had been sealed for five years, and at least for the next half-year, it needed to replenish its energy and restore its cultivation.

So, he was safe for this half-year.

Of course, this didn’t rule out the possibility of the Nascent Soul’s remaining subordinates, who were all dangerous elements.

Quan Gui glanced at Gu Xiaoxi and then said to Quan Shaoqing, "It’s not safe for Xiao Xi to go out alone. You should send someone to accompany her."

"If Jing Haoran is willing, let him go with her! His abilities need to be trained as well," Quan Shaoqing thought for a moment and then raised his eyes to Gu Xiaoxi, "I’ve been thinking, if it’s just for training purposes, you might not know what to do. Since you’re going abroad, I will assign a few bounty missions to you."

Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, not understanding what Quan Shaoqing meant.

"Aim for missions with a bounty of one hundred million. Go to the International Alliance’s bounty list and take on tasks within your ability. It’s also a form of training," Quan Shaoqing said.

The International Alliance didn’t provide all services for free either.

Like when he wanted their help to find Gu Xiaoxi, he paid fifty million per hour for their assistance.

Likewise, if a country has a major criminal they can’t deal with, as long as they pay enough, they can post the criminal on the International Alliance’s list, and a bounty can be offered for their capture.

In this world, there are many Bounty Hunters like this.

Of course, those who make it onto the International list are extremely vicious.

Very hard to deal with.

"Hmm, I got it." Gu Xiaoxi showed some interest, wanting to take a look.

If that’s the case, Su San should be quite familiar with it.

Their assassin organization would be even more suited to being Bounty Hunters.

After dinner, the sky had already darkened.

Gu Xiaoxi watched some animations with Quan Mo for a while before she coaxed her to sleep in her arms.

Afterwards, she laid Quan Mo on the bed in her room, tucked her in, and then stepped out of the room cautiously.

In the corridor, she saw Quan Shaoqing standing at the window, smoking.

He leaned against the windowsill with one hand in his pocket, his beautiful messy hair framing a face with devilishly handsome features that were full of coldness.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at him a few times, but ultimately she couldn’t help walking over to him.

This was home, not outside; speaking with him here shouldn’t cause any trouble, right?

That’s what Gu Xiaoxi thought.

"Why aren’t you sleeping?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

When Quan Shaoqing saw her approaching, he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and tossed it into the trash can nearby.

He turned and looked at her with a particularly complex gaze, and after a long while, he stretched out his arm and pulled her into a tight embrace.

It was just a reunion hug, but Gu Xiaoxi pressed her face against his chest and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She could feel his carefulness.

Some things didn’t need to be said; they understood each other.

Understood his heart, his intentions, as well as his difficulties.

"Are you willing to wait for me?" Quan Shaoqing embraced her, feeling the familiarity of her body. Every time he held her, he felt at ease, comfortable. It was as if his inner anger and anxiety were smoothed away in an instant.

Holding her felt like he had obtained his own priceless treasure.

Gu Xiaoxi extended her hands and hugged his waist tightly, saying with a serious voice, "I will always wait."

Wait for you to marry me.

Wait for you to give me roses and a wedding ring.

This might be every woman’s wish.

In her life, apart from waiting for him, she had nothing else she could do.

Yet her body’s reaction honestly revealed the yearning in her heart.

Quan Shaoqing picked up Gu Xiaoxi in his arms and strode towards the bedroom.

The next morning.

Gu Xiaoxi opened her eyes.

She lay beside him, surrounded by familiar smells, a familiar bed, a familiar person.

Everything was so familiar.

Gu Xiaoxi lifted her head and examined Quan Shaoqing’s features up close.

He seemed to have suddenly become ten years younger than before, his handsome features like that of a teenager.

His thin lips, even in sleep, were tightly pursed.

Those long eyelashes, curled and thick, made Gu Xiaoxi unable to resist reaching out to touch them.

But just as she extended her hand,

Quan Shaoqing woke up. He grabbed her hand without even opening his eyes and pulled her tightly into his embrace again, "How long have you been secretly watching, and what have you found?"

His cool voice was hoarse, echoing in the morning room.

Gu Xiaoxi’s cheeks faintly blushed as she replied, "You look a lot younger than before."

Quan Shaoqing suddenly opened his eyes, still filled with lingering sleepiness.

He lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him, and scoffed!

"So you’re saying I looked old before?"

Gu Xiaoxi felt intimidated by his assertive gaze and hurriedly explained, "No! It’s just that you look much younger now, like an eighteen-year-old youth from a painting."

At her words, Quan Shaoqing’s thin lips curved up, and he leaned down to peck her flushed lips, "It’s not early anymore. But before we get up, join me for another shower."

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoxi exclaimed.

He actually scooped her up from the covers directly.
