Chapter 343: 329 Bad Feeling (Three More)

This beauty wasn’t the empty, soulless kind. It was the kind that took your breath away upon a single glance, or upon seeing a beautiful soul.

Chaoyang was momentarily lost in thought, and listening to Xiaofeng’s words, his emotionless face curved into a smirk, "Miss Su sure has a way with words. Could it be that Miss Su isn’t married yet and still needs the care of other men?"

"Mr. Chaoyang," Xiaofeng stood up, "as long as you are sincerely interested in a partnership, I am of course welcoming it."

"Miss Su isn’t married?"

"I am," Xiaofeng leaned back, "otherwise where would my children come from?"

"How come I heard that Miss Su had children out of wedlock? Could I be mistaken? It turns out Miss Su is actually a married woman," Chaoyang’s expression darkened, his true feelings hidden, but his words carried a teasing tone.

"Mr. Chaoyang seems to know quite a bit about my affairs," Xiaofeng’s fingers interlocked in thought, "one might say you know them like the back of your hand."

"That’s just how I am. Before partnering with someone, I make sure to find out all I can about them," Chaoyang crossed his legs comfortably, "Don’t take wild guesses, after all, you’re not a special agent, and I’m not a government official. I am a retired serviceman, and perhaps my gaze differs from others. If this has caused you any misunderstanding, I can only say you might miss out on a good partner."

The other party could tell at a glance that he had served in the military, which wasn’t simple. A few more words exchanged and she might guess where he came from.

"When it comes to partnership, we must follow the protocols," Xiaofeng didn’t care anymore about who he was, as long as the money was paid and the work done according to the contract, they could associate.

"Naturally."

After signing the contract, Chaoyang didn’t leave immediately, "Miss Su, do you have time tonight for a meal together?"

"As you can see, I’m really not in a condition to go out for meals now. How about I ask Manager Zhou to arrange something and have Manager Zhou accompany you?" Right now, she didn’t go anywhere except to have meals at home.

Of course, that was He Ximei’s order. This month, she could only odd meals at home, ready to give birth at any time.

"That’s not necessary then. I just wanted to invite Miss Su alone for a meal, to make friends."

"I’m really sorry then, but I’m not convenient recently," Xiaofeng stood up.

"Aren’t you going to ask if I have a place to stay?"

"Mr. Chaoyang is surely a businessman. No matter where you go, you should have arranged for yourself," Xiaofeng really didn’t care about this.

Chaoyang chuckled, picked up the contract, and left, "It seems I’m not charming enough."

As soon as Chaoyang left Su Xiaofeng’s factory, he entered a hotel, and from the back of the hotel, he got into a car.

Once in the car, he ripped off a thin mask from his face, revealing a calm and efficient face.

Su Xiaofeng was right, expressions could change, skin tone could be faked, but the eyes don’t lie. "Boss, she’s just a woman, why bother making a personal trip? With just one command from you, that woman could disappear instantly," a mere rural woman, hardly requiring the chief of Xu Family’s intelligence squad.

"Enough talk," Men Chao made no explanations for his actions: "Drive, let’s get out of here."

"Yes."

"Have someone keep an eye on this Su Xiaofeng." Men Chao was now sure that Young Master Gu and this Su Xiaofeng had registered their marriage. If this news reaches the Young Lady’s ears, she would definitely come charging over.

For now, he didn’t want the Gu and Xu families to turn against each other, as the timing was not right yet.

"Boss, is this woman really that important?"

"Important," Men Chao put on sunglasses, "I am still determining her significance, so I need to observe a bit longer."

If Su Xiaofeng really was Young Master Gu’s weakness, for him, it might not be a bad thing.

"Yes." The driver drove an unremarkable car slowly out of the small county of Xijiang, while Liuchao, seated in the back, repeatedly thought of Su Xiaofeng’s clean and beautiful face.

...

"Xiao’ou, I feel something’s off. I must see that woman myself, to see what kind of charm she has. Yecheng takes such good care of her, even Men Chao, hesitates to lay a finger on her," Xu Xuezi sat in her boudoir, growing more uneasy the more she thought about it.

Men Chao, she knew better than anyone.

Innately cold-blooded and unfeeling, he never showed mercy to anyone. The only reason Men Chao hesitated was likely because that woman was possibly very important to Gu Yecheng.

Only in this way, Men Chao would not make a move, and once they did, Gu Yecheng would definitely find out it was the Xu Family behind it.

Yes, it must be so.

Thus, she had to go there herself, no one could stop her.

"Young Lady." Xiao’ou, visibly frightened, said, "That’s the south, far from us like the sky is from the emperor. If something happened to Young Lady on the road, there would be no one to help."

"Nonsense, I’ll just say I’m going on a trip, and let my dad arrange a couple of bodyguards for me," Xu Xuezi looked at Xiao’ou like she was an idiot: "would I be so stupid as to tell my dad that I’m going south to meet some scumbag?"

Indeed, she was a celebrity in the Imperial Capital, not a brainless beauty.

"Young Lady, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that, that place is a small county; You have never been to such places before. I heard that some small towns are still very poor, lacking not only paved roads but even electricity, let alone telephones and television. Young Lady, if you really go there, it means you’ll be facing hardships."

Young Lady had been pampered since childhood, saying she was raised with a silver spoon wouldn’t be an overstatement. Never had she been to such places, nor endured such hardships.

"If Yecheng could go, why can’t I. It’s a good chance for me to see what Yecheng has been up to these past few years, and whether he has done something disgraceful behind my back." Xu Xuezi didn’t think she couldn’t endure the hardships, "I’ll talk to my dad now, let him arrange for someone to buy a few plane tickets, then we’ll drive there ourselves."

Xiao’ou followed behind, silent.

The Young Lady had made up her mind, and nothing anyone said would be of use.

Xu Hongtu was surprised when he heard his daughter wanted to tour around the Dongcheng area, "Xuexue, you wanting to travel doesn’t sound like you at all."

"Dad, I’ve been in the Imperial Capital all these years, never been anywhere, I’m practically a caged canary. I want to go out and see the world, not to mention, it’s good to expand my horizons."

"It’s good that you have this idea, but you have never been far away from home, and there’s no reliable person by your side, I’m worried." Xu Hongtu thought for a moment, but did not agree.

"Dad, how could there be no one." Xu Xuezi smiled, "Deputy Captain Yin is pretty good, you could let Deputy Captain Yin accompany me."

Deputy Captain Yin was a capable officer under Men Chao.

It was said that she had harbored feelings for Men Chao, but Men Chao had no such feelings for her.

She had feelings for Men Chao, and to Xu Xuezi, that made her a useful person.

"You really think far ahead." Xu Hongtu pondered a bit, "If that’s the case, I have no objections. What about your grandfather?"

"Grandfather will definitely support me." In her grandfather’s heart, he had never genuinely cared about her life or death, why would he object.

...

"Xiaoqi." Xiaofeng lay on the bed, her Divine Sense already entering the space, "It’s almost time for the delivery, can you predict which day I might give birth? That way, I can be prepared mentally."

According to twenty-first century methods of prediction, there was about half a month left to her due date, but it was unknown if the Divine Beasts inside her might come earlier or later.

"Master, I really can’t predict that," Xiaoqi also admitted incapability, "However, master, once the young master is born, the safety warning on your body will automatically disappear."

The safety warning was initially created to protect the unborn young master. Once the young master was born, there wouldn’t be such a function anymore.

"It transfers to the baby," Xiaofeng understood it this way.

"Still unknown," Xiaoqi said about the uncertainty.

"Aren’t you supposed to serve us? How could you not know?" She always thought Xiaoqi was omnipotent regarding the matters and things in the space.

"But some things are unknown, and the space isn’t omniscient either." Xiaoqi patiently explained, "Xiaoqi’s initial task was to protect the master during pregnancy and ensure the safe birth of the young master."

"You’ve worked hard for my baby," Xiaofeng stroked its head, feeling the cool surface.

"Master," Xiaoqi’s transparent face showed concern, "The safety system has detected a dark fog on the day of your delivery; this is a dangerous sign. Master, your delivery may run into complications, you should be mentally prepared."

Xiaoqi, not being human, didn’t just say what might sound good and omit the bad.

It only relayed what it knew to the master, so she could make preparations in advance.
