Ji Wuqiu originally thought that Xie Guanxia had really started a new family outside, but by chance, he learned that Xie Guanxia was still single!
But he never dared to contact the other party directly, fearing it would be too abrupt and offensive.
He reconnected with Xie Guanxia because of his youngest son's situation.
Although the other side was lukewarm, Ji Wuqiu was still very happy, and he shared his life and the new things he encountered.
He thought he would be treated coldly, but in fact he wasn't. Xie Guanxia's attitude towards him was also subtle, always hovering between being neither too close nor too distant, and taking one step further would put him on the edge of ambiguity.
He had originally planned to spend his whole life working, but Xie Guanxia's appearance made him as excited as a teenager.
Facing his sons who turned the house upside down every day, Ji Wuqiu felt it was time to hand over the company to them.
Wangchen now has complete control over Aurora Future. His second and third sons' companies are also doing well. His youngest son can slack off if he wants, but he won't slack off too much. Based on his understanding of Zhouzhou, this guy will definitely supervise his brothers to work hard, even more so than when he was around.
After arranging everything at the company and at home, he rushed to Xie Guanxia's country overnight.
After getting off the plane, Ji Wuqiu stayed in a place very close to Xie Guanxia's headquarters.
Using the information Xie Guanxia usually revealed to him as clues, it wasn't difficult to find out Xie Guanxia's whereabouts. He believed that there should be give and take between him and his wife, and since his wife had installed surveillance cameras on him, it was only reasonable for him to monitor his wife in return.
In fact, Ji Wuqiu had known for a long time that Xie Guanxia had secretly sent someone to install surveillance cameras in his study. Although he discovered the cameras on the first day of installation, Ji Wuqiu couldn't bear to remove them.
"Boss, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" The bodyguard had no idea what Ji Wuqiu was up to until he pulled out a super telescope from his luggage. He was dumbfounded and incredulous.
Is this still the same Ji Wuqiu who is always strict with himself?
"There's no other way, it's just too far." He was also afraid of being discovered if he lived too close, since he had come here secretly without Xie Guanxia's knowledge.
Unfortunately, Xie Guanxia couldn't be seen through the telescope.
night
Just as Ji Wuqiu was preparing to go to sleep and plan to look for his wife the next day, Xie Guanxia was already standing at the head of his bed.
What brings you here?
"I'll cook for you." Ji Wuqiu was startled, thinking there was a female ghost standing at his bedside. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his wife. Luckily, he didn't scream.
"Wife, how did you know I was here?" Ji Wuqiu, despite his advanced age, shamelessly hugged Xie Guanxia's waist, but accidentally pressed his face against the cold, hard lipstick clipped to her waist.
Ji Wuqiu: "..."
Ji Wuqiu had always been a pampered young master since childhood. Even after having children, his innocence remained, so he was afraid of some things, such as truth and ghosts.
He swallowed hard, pretending not to care.
Xie Guanxia placed his hand on the back of Ji Wuqiu's neck. "Who's your wife? I don't acknowledge it."
Ji Wuqiu shamelessly said, "Wife, are you going to be a heartless man, taking advantage of me and then running away? There's no such thing as a free lunch. You have to take responsibility for me."
Although Ji Wuqiu is nearly fifty, he still works hard to maintain his skin and exercise, which allows him to be so shameless.
Xie Guanxia was amused by his words: "You were the one who offered yourself up, and you're blaming others. You're an old man, how can you be so naive?"
Ji Wuqiu released her in disbelief. After hearing his wife call him an "old man," he questioned his existence and fell into a state of grievance and inferiority. He even ignored Xie Guanxia when she called him again.
One person hid back in bed, sulking.
Xie Guanxia couldn't help but burst out laughing. She thought to herself that Ji Wuqiu's personality was really funny, and he was still so easily amused.
No wonder she was willing to spend a month with him back then. Ji Wuqiu, though a shrewd strategist in the business world, was exceptionally timid and naive in other areas.
She was joking; Ji Wuqiu wasn't old at all. On the contrary, Ji Wuqiu looked to be around thirty years old, with handsome features, a refined demeanor, and a somewhat clingy personality.
Xie Guanxia watched as Ji Wuqiu stubbornly wrapped himself in the blanket, leaving only his fluffy back of his head showing, and couldn't help but reach out and poke his head. "Are you angry?"
The person in the blanket remained motionless, clearly still sulking.
Xie Guanxia sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Come on out, what kind of person are you? Aren't you ashamed?"
Ji Wuqiu still didn't react, but Xie Guanxia could feel the body under the covers tremble slightly. She simply sat on the edge of the bed and waited patiently.
After a long while, Ji Wuqiu slowly peeked out, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction. "You're always like this, thinking I'm easy to bully."
Despite his age, he still acts coquettishly, but Xie Guanxia didn't find it pretentious; instead, she found it rather endearing. Although departmental rules forbade bringing personal feelings into battle, seeing Ji Wuqiu during her rest time was probably quite nice.
"What? You won't let me bully you?" Xie Guanxia hooked his chin and chuckled, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"I want to see you every day, or every other day if that's not possible, but it can't be more than a week. Don't you all get a vacation after your missions are over?" Ji Wuqiu calculated that Xie Guanxia would retire in a few months, and then they could travel around the world.
If Xie Guanxia doesn't like it, then he can stay at home and grow flowers and plants.
"You're so greedy, boss."
"Is it okay, Guanxia? Baby? Wife?"
Xie Guanxia raised an eyebrow slightly, crossed her legs, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "We should really record this so your sons can see what their father is like in private."
Ji Wuqiu: "..."
"Anyway, since you're here, take good care of yourself. Don't get too close to me outside, or you'll attract attention. There's still one Black Lizard member on the run. That person hates me to the core and has sent threatening letters, vowing to kill everyone around me in the future."
"Did he kill him?"
"Not killed."
Ji Wuqiu sat up, suddenly becoming serious, as if the person who had just been there wasn't him.
"It's better to eliminate this person as soon as possible; I'm worried he might harm you. Although you're very strong, the enemy is in the shadows while we are in the open."
Xie Guanxia's actions were not as flexible as Ji Wuqiu's, since Ji Wuqiu could also use his money to have people capture people alive with high bounties.
As the saying goes, a great reward will surely bring forth brave men, and in less than a week, the last member of the Black Lizard was captured.
Xie Guanxia: "..."
The next day
Xie Guanxia came to see Ji Wuqiu, expecting praise from his wife, but instead she called him a "fool".
"Fifty million? What's the difference between that and throwing money down the drain? They'll catch them sooner or later anyway." Xie Guanxia thought about how little his reward for his meritorious service was; it really couldn't compare to these rich people.
"I'm also worried about what would happen if something went wrong and our son's safety was threatened?"
Xie Guanxia said calmly, "That person going to find Xiao Zhou is tantamount to walking into a trap, isn't it?"
After considering his son's fighting prowess, Ji Wuqiu dared not think further; perhaps the boy mistook criminals and wanted fugitives for fruits to be picked and sold by the roadside.
"My wife is right, I was wrong. From now on, I must inform my wife of my actions."
That's more like it.
"Wife, you've acknowledged me as your wife!"
Xie Guanxia couldn't help but chuckle at Ji Wuqiu's silly expression, "Can't you be a little more composed?"
Ji Wuqiu brushed aside the stray hairs falling across her forehead and leaned back, instantly reverting to her urban elite demeanor. "Woman, don't test my patience."
Xie Guanxia sighed, "I regret it."
"You can't regret it, my wife, you said you loved me."
"Love, love, love, okay?"
