Su Ling Arrives, Confidential Documents Reappear

The instant that voice rang out, everyone in the shop except Wan Xiaoxiao and the soundly sleeping Leo turned to look at the door.

Virgo's pretty brows drew together slightly. The person before her was none other than the one in charge of Su Corporation—Su Ling.

What was she doing here?

"Ahem..." Virgo coughed.

The other members of Black Palace glanced sidelong at Virgo and saw her tapping rhythmically against the side of her thigh.

This was one of the mission targets.

Wang Hao was the first to react. "Ahem."

He answered in the same manner—Should we take her out directly?

Virgo's mouth twitched slightly. What I mean is, we can try to gather some intel.

"Ahem." Feng Liuliu tapped rhythmically on the wine bottle in her hand.

About Dragon King Hall? Lin Xiu?

Yes.

Wang Hao frowned, folded his arms, and tapped on his shoulder. Torture?

Feng Liuliu smacked her forehead, then pretended to switch to another bottle as she replied: Qiqi can do it.

Virgo and Wang Hao turned their gazes toward Liang Qiqi.

Liang Qiqi looked left and right, then nodded. "Ahem, ahem!"

But this bizarre scene left Su Ling completely confused.

Not just Su Ling—Wan Xiaoxiao and Su Shuangshuang also had no idea what the four of them were doing.

"Um... do you all have colds?" Su Ling asked tentatively.

If that was really the case, she was leaving.

There were piles of things to handle at the company right now. It would be awful if she caught a cold.

"No~ How could we? We just choked a little," Feng Liuliu said with a beaming smile. "What would this young lady like to drink?"

Virgo stepped forward at this moment. "This way, please."

Su Ling followed Virgo half-believing, half-doubtful. She decided that if anyone coughed again, she would leave.

Fortunately, no one coughed before she sat down, and Su Ling relaxed a little.

She chose a seat at the bar. When she was alone, this was the most comfortable spot.

"Take a look." Feng Liuliu pushed the drink menu in front of Su Ling.

Su Ling shook her head. "Pick one for me."

A faint curve lifted the corner of Feng Liuliu's mouth. Off to the side, Liang Qiqi saw the lenses of Feng Liuliu's glasses flash, her narrowed eyes giving off a sinister look.

"If it were me, I'd recommend this one—Calamity Approaches." Feng Liuliu tapped the cocktail at the very top of the menu.

Su Ling's brows locked tightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed through her eyes. "Does it have some sort of meaning? It doesn't sound very auspicious."

She had come here to relax a little, but she hadn't expected the bartender to recommend such an unlucky-sounding drink.

"Miss, I understand your concern. But this drink isn't to be understood that way."

Feng Liuliu explained with a false smile.

"Calamity approaches, yet has not arrived. Drinking this wine at that moment means disaster comes and passes, misfortune descends and disperses."

Hearing Feng Liuliu's explanation, Su Ling showed a look of realization, and her brows eased slightly.

"Besides that, because you're our first customer today, there's a special gift for you."

Feng Liuliu said it without the slightest change in expression.

Only then did Su Ling's expression fully soften, and she revealed a faint smile. "Then I'll have to try it."

"Of course. Please wait a moment." Feng Liuliu bowed slightly and began selecting ingredients.

"Then I'll go prepare too~" Liang Qiqi ran out from behind the counter and into the inner room off to the side.

Wan Xiaoxiao watched for a while, felt it was pointless, and decided to have Su Shuangshuang tutor her instead.

After all, her goal was to take back everything Jiang Junyi had promised her!

On the other side, Virgo and Wang Hao had somehow gathered together, their gazes thoughtful as they looked toward Feng Liuliu.

"If necessary, I'll act to eliminate the target," Wang Hao leaned in by Virgo's ear and said in a low voice, his nose twitching slightly at the same time. "The kind where not even bones are left."

He smelled a peculiar fragrance, neither faint nor strong, yet carrying a coolness that seeped into the lungs.

Wang Hao's eyes lit up slightly. This might be a conversation topic?!

Virgo tilted her head. "Let's observe the situation first. Mo Jie still values this shop quite a bit."

"By the way, what perfume are you using? It smells kind of nice." Wang Hao stared at the counter, tilted his head slightly, and took a deep sniff. "I've never smelled this scent before."

Virgo turned her head with a swish, her beautiful eyes looking somewhat shocked.

Wang Hao looked at Virgo in confusion. "?"

"Give me a little? I'll spray it at home."

Virgo's eyes instantly turned cold, and she lifted one jade-like leg.

"Bang!"

"Crash!"

Virgo slowly spat out two words. "Pervert."

Looking closely, the tips of Virgo's ears—usually as icy and poker-faced as ever—were actually tinged faintly red.

Before Wang Hao could even react, all he saw was a clear blue sky. He was stuck halfway through the floor-to-ceiling window, his face blank with bewilderment.

No, what did I even do?

If anyone was the pervert, shouldn't it be Young Master?

"Achoo!"

Jiang Junyi, who was on the sofa kneading Wan Qingyun's little foot, suddenly sneezed hard. "Who the hell is cursing me?!"

"You've been holding that foot for at least twenty minutes and swallowed four times... Aren't you going to switch..." Wan Qingyun's cheeks were faintly red, her face full of helplessness.

"Oh, oh, sorry. I got lost in thought." Jiang Junyi rubbed his nose. "Then I'll switch to this one."

He put down Wan Qingyun's right foot and picked up her left.

Wan Qingyun was extremely helpless, but it was hard for her to say anything.

Jiang Junyi called it—preparing for her to recover sensation in the future.

She shook her head and picked up her book to read.

She couldn't feel anything anyway, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Ding~ Detected that the Pure Love target is secretly a little happy because the host is obsessed with jade feet. Pure Love Points +1 +1 +1~

Jiang Junyi smiled subtly. Hmph, woman, you've already exposed yourself!

After kneading for a while, he thought of the cooperation with the Su Family, so he asked, "How's the cooperation with the Su Family going?"

Wan Qingyun put down her book, her dark brows furrowing slightly. "It seems like something's gone wrong on the Su Family's side."

Jiang Junyi raised a brow. "Oh? Do tell."

Wan Qingyun thought for a moment, then said, "Originally, they planned to showcase a new cosmetic product at Jiangyan Tower and let all the major wealthy families try it."

"But for some reason, the raw materials were cut off."

"Cut off?" Jiang Junyi frowned. "Shouldn't something like that have been settled right at the start?"

Wan Qingyun shook her head. "I'm not sure either."

Jiang Junyi thought for a while but couldn't make sense of it. "It's fine. The one in a hurry is the Su Family. This situation is actually advantageous to us."

"Yes..." Wan Qingyun replied, then said shyly, "Um... too close..."

"What?"

"My foot..."

Jiang Junyi came back to his senses and saw the fair, tender little foot right by his mouth.

"Tsk, sigh!"

He clicked his tongue and abruptly put it down.

There was no greater pain in this world than loving something yet being unable to have it.

"Feet are dirty... You can't eat them..." Wan Qingyun explained in a small voice, her face red.

If she hadn't felt her thigh being lifted, she really wouldn't have known Jiang Junyi was about to put his mouth on it.

"Ahem, I was thinking about something just now. It's not what you think. How could I be that much of a pervert?!" Jiang Junyi explained.

"Okay, okay~ I know." Wan Qingyun laughed softly.

Jiang Junyi smiled helplessly. "Why does it feel like you're coaxing a child?"

"Then just take it that way."

In truth, he really couldn't be blamed. When someone loved another person deeply, they often did things that seemed perverted.

At that moment, Jiang Junyi's pupils shrank slightly.

Ding~ A new Confidential Document has appeared!
