Xuan Ge went back to the villa. He came to Ming Shu’s room and knocked on the door.

Ming Shu wasn’t sleeping. She opened the door. “You’re done?”

“Yes.”

“Did you kill him?”

“No.”

“That’s good.” It would be troublesome if Bai Hao died.

The air became quiet.

Ming Shu noticed that Xuan Ge didn’t move. He didn’t say anything, either. “What’s the matter?”

“...Nothing.” Xuan Ge took a step back. “We’ll talk tomorrow.”

“Good night.” Ming Shu closed the door.

Just as the door was about to close, something stopped it.

Ming Shu opened the door and looked at the person outside.

What’s the matter?

The person outside grabbed Ming Shu’s chin and gave her a gentle kiss. “Goodnight.”

Then, he hurriedly released Ming Shu and went down.

Ming Shu touched her lips and smiled.

...

The next morning, Ming Shu saw Xuan Ge waiting outside the moment she opened her door.

The young lady looked sleepy. Her pajamas were loose on her body. Her collarbone could be seen faintly. Her face was slightly pink. She looked extremely cute.

Xuan Ge retracted his gaze.

He placed the daily love letter in her hands and stroked her fingers. Then, he pushed the breakfast inside.

Ming Shu opened the letter and asked, “Why are you so early? You missed me so much that you couldn’t sleep?”

“Yes.”

“...”

Ming Shu quietly read the letter.

Xuan Ge scooped the porridge into a small bowl. He even placed the chopsticks nicely for Ming Shu.

Ming Shu put the love letter aside and sat down to eat her breakfast.

“What do you think about yesterday’s incident?”

It was too late yesterday night and he didn’t have the mood to talk to her about this.

“I don’t know. I don’t know who wants to kill me. If I knew...”

She smiled at Xuan Ge.

If I knew, I’d beat him up till his parents don’t recognize him!

Xuan Ge remained silent. He waited for her to finish her breakfast before continuing. “I received a mission that’s related to you before. However, since Uncle Yi is here, I made an agreement with him. I agreed to protect you.”

“Can you give up your missions halfway through?”

“...” Is that the main point?

Xuan Ge thought for a moment before replying, “No.”

You needed to pay a price for giving up your mission.

However, he didn’t have to tell her.

At that time, he didn’t give up the mission for her.

“So you were here to kill me last time?” Ming Shu returned to the main topic.

“...” It’s better if she asked about other things.

“Yes.” The truth was the truth. He couldn’t deny it.

“You didn’t think that you’d like me, right?” Ming Shu smiled. “Do you regret it?”

“No.”

He didn’t regret it.

Meeting her.

Loving her.

He never regretted it.

Xuan Ge pursed his lips. “You’re not angry?”

“Why would I be angry?” The lady tilted her head. She seemed puzzled.

“I was here...”

To kill you.

“You didn’t know who I was back then. I’m not unreasonable.”

Xuan Ge: “...”

He hoped that she would be unreasonable.

That was how a normal person would act.

Xuan Ge sighed softly. Then, he continued, “Although we can’t find who the buyer is through normal means, we will still be able to catch them if we try.”

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “Most importantly, why does that person want to kill me?”

“Is it because I’m pretty or is he jealous of my talent?”

Xuan Ge glanced at her. She was pretty, but talented... with results like that? Forget it!

Ming Shu touched her chin. “It couldn’t be for my snacks, right? Is it for the inheritance?”

Shu Hang worked hard to streal the assets of the Shu family from her.

However, this amount of assets was nothing to the rich people outside.

Why would someone hire an assassin to kill her because of this?

If she was killed, all the assets of the Shu family would be donated to charity.

Thus, this person wasn’t here for her.

If it wasn’t for her, it might be because of the Host’s parents.

On the surface, the Host’s parents died because of an accident.

“Let me ask Uncle Yi.”

Based on the Host’s memory, Yi Qiao had been the butler of the house since she was born.

He should know some things.

Ming Shu suddenly asked Xuan Ge, “What deal did you make with Uncle Yi?”

Yi Qiao was a butler. What did he have to do with Xuan Ge?

Xuan Ge hesitated before answering. “I need the support of Uncle Yi in the organization.”

“What the f**k? The ultimate boss?” He was the hidden boss behind everything? Amazing!

“???”

Xuan Ge took a few seconds to react.

He explained, “The K Organization has been around for a long time. If I want to take control of the organization, I need to get a badge from all the elders.

“When Uncle Yi was young, he left the K Organization due to personal reasons. However, he has an elder badge.”

Every organization had some weird rules. This rule was still acceptable.

“You want to be the boss?”

The man lowered his head. “I don’t. However, I don’t have a choice.”

He was always forced to choose his path.

“I grew up in the organization. I have no other choices.”

If he gave up, the people who supported him would die. He, too, would be in great danger.

Now...

He couldn’t give up.

He could only protect her if he was the last one standing.

Ming Shu suddenly hugged him. His head pressed against her abdomen.

“It’s all right.”

Ming Shu said something but Xuan Ge couldn’t hear properly. She was too soft.

Xuan Ge raised his hands slowly and hugged the lady’s waist.

He felt peaceful when he was around her.

He could relax around her.

I want...

To stay with her forever.

The moment this thought came into his head, he couldn’t push it away.

Xuan Ge tightened his arms. He wanted to stamp his mark on this person.

Ming Shu controlled herself at the start.

However...

“Hey, I can’t breathe.”

Xuan Ge released his grip a little. He continued hugging her quietly.

He yearned for the warmth of her body.

...

Ming Shu finally managed to make Xuan Ge release her. She went down to look for Yi Qiao.

“Young Miss?”

“Uncle Yi, let me ask you about Shu... about my parents.”

Yi Qiao was slightly stunned. He stuttered, “Y-young miss, why... do you suddenly ask about them?”

Ming Shu smiled. “Uncle Yi, you asked Xuan Ge to protect me. Do you know something?”

Yi Qiao: “...”

Yi Qiao was lost for a minute. He tried to smile, but it was awkward.

“Young miss, I...”

“Uncle Yi, I’m not young anymore. I should know some things. You can protect me now, but you can’t protect me forever.”

Yi Qiao knew this.

However, his young miss was still small.

Yi Qiao looked at Ming Shu.

The girl was smiling gently at him. There was confidence in her eyes.

She was different from the little girl in his memory.

She had grown up.
