Chapter 591: Disgusting
"I'm almost there!" He Xie shouted at the top of his lungs, swaying wildly with the music in the car like a madman.
Upon hearing the deafening music, Xu Xi frowned. "What are you doing? Don't tell me you're at a bar!"
He Xie said, "How could that be? I'm going to fetch Madam."
Xu Xi said, "Turn off the music. I can't hear you."
Two years in South Africa had not been enough for him to reflect on himself properly. He had just been transferred back, but he was already acting like a wild horse without reins.
He Xie did not care. He was overjoyed. As he reached out to turn off the music, he shouted, "What did you say? I can't hear you. I'll be there soon. I'll definitely complete the mission."
Xu Xi frowned even more and warned him one last time. "Drive slowly on your f*cking way back. If you hurt a single hair on Ms. Ling, the Third Master will send you to Mars."
He Zhu did not hear him shouting. He was immersed in his own world.
A figure suddenly dashed out of the bushes by the roadside.
He Xie's eyes narrowed, and he sobered up instantly. He braked immediately.
A sharp screech was produced by the brakes.
The moment the car stopped, the person collapsed.
F*ck!
He had hit someone!
He had just opened the car door to take a look when the person who had been hit suddenly stood up. It was a woman. She ran over in a panic. "Help!"
He Xie clearly saw a man in black standing not far away. He was holding a gun in his hand. The moment he pulled the trigger, he lunged and dragged the woman over.
The man in black had not expected to be discovered. He had been ordered to silence someone. He fired another shot, but it was dodged again.
He did not know why the woman in front of him was being hunted down, but he had just landed in the Maldives two hours ago. He finally did not have to stay in godforsaken South Africa anymore. He was in a good mood, so he decided to help her when he saw this injustice.
She was lucky she had met him.
The man in black looked angrily at the man who had ruined his plan and dashed over. If he did not know what was good for him, he would get rid of him too.
However, he had only taken two steps when he felt a sharp pain in his thigh. He had been shot.
He Xie had fired two consecutive shots, one of which had hit one of his legs. The man in black knelt on the ground with a thud. He knew that he had met his match. He could not continue to pester him. He stood up and tried to escape.
However, he had underestimated He Xie, who had initially been in a good mood. Now that his good mood had been ruined, he was burning from anger.
One minute later, the man in black was tied up and thrown onto the back seat. Blood was still flowing from his thigh as he looked at the unhappy man in front of him. His eyes were red from anger. "Who are you?"
"I haven't f*cking asked you that yet!" He Xie was angry. He had finally returned, but before he could have a good time, a fly had come to ruin his mood.
The woman, who had escaped death, was trembling as she tugged at He Xie's arm. He pushed her away in disgust. "Don't touch me. It's disgusting."
Two minutes later, Xu Xi received another call from He Xie. He practically bellowed, "Have you picked up Ms. Ling?"
He Xie was very proud. "I haven't picked up Madam, but I accidentally saved a woman out of kindness. I ran into something very interesting. It's related to Madam. The Third Master will definitely forgive me for not picking up Madam. This is a small mistake."
Chapter 592: Captain Hindsight
When Ling Sheng received Jun Shiyan's call, she was eating with Huo Xuanzhou at a famous local BBQ shop. The lamb chops had just been served on the table. While chewing, she answered the call. "I'm already eating. Yes, with Huo Xuanzhou."
Jun Shiyan asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Ling Sheng said, "Yes, the roast meat here is really delicious. You have to come and try it. Oh, sorry. You can't eat it. Why don't you come tomorrow? I'll eat, and you can watch."
Jun Shiyan said, "Student Ling, I'm asking you a question. Please mind your attitude."
Ling Sheng sat upright like a primary school student in class. She put down the lamb chop reluctantly. "Teacher Jun, what do you want me to say?"
Jun Shiyan asked, "Did filming go smoothly this morning?"
Ling Sheng said, "It went very smoothly."
Upon seeing her strict look, Huo Xuanzhou looked down on her. Look, look. She was knocked out from eating too much. What kind of drug had that scumbag Third Master Jun fed her? She was as obedient as a puppy.
Jun Shiyan asked, "Did something happen that you didn't want to tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng knew that someone in the film crew must have leaked this information. Someone had snitched and told him about the holes in her soles. Her eyes drooped. "Yes, I suffered a small injury."
Jun Shiyan asked, "A small injury?"
Ling Sheng chuckled. "It might be a little more than that. It's already been handled. It's alright. How's business going on your side?"
Jun Shiyan said, "Don't try to change the subject. I'm asking you something."
Ling Sheng pouted and scratched her nose. In a soft voice, she said, "I'm just a little injured. You'll know I'm not lying if you take a look."
Jun Shiyan asked, "Where are you?"
Ling Sheng was about to report the address obediently.
Huo Xuanzhou snatched the phone and let out a cold snort. "How is that any of your business, Captain Hindsight?"
Then, he hung up immediately.
Ling Sheng's face darkened as she reached out to snatch the phone. "What are you doing?"
Huo Xuanzhou, who was very unhappy, bellowed at her, "Are you that afraid of him?"
He could not bear to see her carefully trying to please him. That scumbag Jun Shiyan. What right did he have to make her please him? She had spoken gently to him and even coaxed him!
"Since when am I afraid of him?" Ling Sheng frowned, not knowing if she should call him again. "This is called mutual respect. This is a little fun between couples. A heartless scumbag like you wouldn't understand."
He had never had feelings for any woman, so he naturally did not know how she felt in a passionate relationship!
"What do you mean I wouldn't understand? Just tell me, what don't I understand?" Huo Xuanzhou's handsome face darkened from anger. He was displeased with her gentle attitude toward another man.
"Have you ever loved someone deeply?" Ling Sheng gave him a disdainful look, picked up the lamb chop again, and continued chewing. No matter what happened, she could not treat her stomach unfairly. It was her first priority!
Huo Xuanzhou frowned so hard that the wrinkles on his forehead could probably kill a fly. "If falling in love would make me like you, I'd rather I never fall in love."
Ling Sheng smiled at him and pretended to be nonchalant. "You'd better remember your words. Be careful, or you'll end up like my father in the future. You won't even have a shoulder to cry on if you regret it."
"Isn't your father living quite a good life?" The person Huo Xuanzhou envied the most in his life was Sixth Uncle, who lived a free, unrestrained life.
"Only he knows if it's good or not." Ling Sheng shook her head and sighed. "Really, Huo Xuanzhou, let me advise you. Don't be a scumbag. There's no medicine for regret in this world."
Chapter 593: Cute
Huo Xuanzhou knocked her head. "Who's Huo Xuanzhou? Call me Brother."
Ling Sheng shook her furry head and glared at him as she warned him. "If you hit me again, I'll complain to the Third Master."
"He has to come here first." Huo Xuanzhou looked down on her. "We're the ones who are family. No wonder it's said that girls give their hearts outside their family. You haven't even married him, yet you're already siding with an outsider. Watch me. I'll tell Sixth Uncle, and he'll teach you a lesson."
Where had Sixth Uncle gotten this precious daughter? She was too likable. Even though she sided with an outsider, he liked her. Ever since he had found out the truth, he had felt that even the words "younger sister" had become soft and adorable.
When Jun Shiyan arrived, Huo Xuanzhou and Ling Sheng had finished their dinner and were about to leave.
Ling Sheng was a strong girl who could walk on her own. Upon seeing Jun Shiyan walk over, she endured the pain in her feet as though nothing had happened and greeted him. "Third Master, how are you so fast?"
Jun Shiyan looked at the smiling young lady in front of him. His handsome face darkened as he stared at her. "Does your injury still hurt?"
Ling Sheng smiled and shook her head. "It doesn't hurt. It's just a small injury. It doesn't hurt at all."
"That's good." Jun Shiyan smiled. "I'm taking you to a dinner party later. I want to introduce you to a few people. Do you have time?"
"No, Ling Sheng. If you dare agree to it, I'll tell Sixth Uncle that you and he..." Huo Xuanzhou could not get over Xu Xi's obstruction, so he could only threaten her. "I'll tell him you slept with him!"
Ling Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. She turned around and gave him a look, thinking to herself, You're impressive. "Huo Xuanzhou, go back first. I'll come find you tonight."
Huo Xuanzhou was fuming. "Do you really want to leave with him? Do you know why he wants to take you with him? Ling Sheng, you scumbag. When something bad happens, you come to me, and when nothing's wrong, you go to Jun Shiyan?"
Ling Sheng could not help but laugh. He made it sound like she was two-timing him. He looked quite aggrieved. "Didn't you say you were meeting a beauty just now? Did I delay your date? You don't have to care about me. Go do your own thing!"
Huo Xuanzhou was indignant.
Jun Shiyan frowned slightly, looking displeased. "Xu Xi, let Master Zhou rest his mouth."
Before Huo Xuanzhou could react, his arm was handcuffed and his mouth was covered by a napkin. He watched as Ling Sheng left, yearning to kill her.
F*ck!
That scumbag Jun Shiyan had dared to treat him this way!
He should just wait and see. He would settle this score sooner or later!
That brat had forgotten about her brother now that she had a man. Did she not remember who had brought her here to eat?
Upon seeing them leave, Xu Xi took out a napkin and said earnestly, "Master Zhou, you obviously know that you're not the Sixth Master. Why did you have to say those words and make Third Master unhappy?"
Huo Xuanzhou glared at him ferociously. "Just you wait! I'll show him too!"
Then, he dashed out aggressively.
Jun Shiyan strode ahead.
Ling Sheng, who was following him, could clearly feel the low pressure around him. He was suppressing his emotions and getting angrier by the second.
Jun Shiyan was walking very quickly, and the ground was covered in pebbles. Out of the corner of his eye, he could clearly see the young lady trying her best to act normal as she followed him, doing everything she could to keep up with him. He felt even angrier, and his chest felt like it was about to explode.
Ling Sheng had already said that she was fine, so she had to appear fine. It did not hurt at all. However, she really could not catch up to him. Her heart ached terribly. "Third Master, can you walk slower?"
"Does your leg hurt?" Jun Shiyan smiled gently, his heart on the verge of breaking down.
No one knew how much effort he had to exert to suppress his emotions, which were about to explode. He had to suppress the urge to rush over and carry her. Hadn't she said it didn't hurt? Why did she have to walk slower?
Chapter 594: Bite Me If It Hurts
Ling Sheng shook her head stubbornly. "It doesn't hurt."
Jun Shiyan smiled gently. The fire in his eyes could not be suppressed anymore, and he quickened his pace again.
When had his young lady learned how to lie?
He knew that she had said that on purpose because she didn't want him to worry or feel sorry for her.
She had not even told him about her injury. He had heard it from someone else.
However, he did not want her to be so obedient and sensible. He wanted her to cry and smile at him without restraint.
Upon seeing him walk faster and faster, Ling Sheng really could not keep up. She could not take a single step anymore, and her soles hurt.
She was obviously the one being stubborn. Even though it hurt, she had lied and said that it did not hurt. However, when she saw his attitude, she suddenly felt extremely wronged. Her heart ached terribly. When she saw the man's tall figure squatting on the ground, she shouted angrily, "I'm not leaving!"
Jun Shiyan stopped in his tracks and turned around. He squatted in front of her and grabbed her ankle.
Ling Sheng's feet were retracted as he grabbed them. His big hand gently and forcefully removed her shoes. She sniffled and wanted to continue being stubborn, but her voice became muffled. "I'm really fine."
When he saw blood oozing out of the bandages on the young lady's feet, Jun Shiyan's heart ached. He picked her up by the waist, and his emotions finally exploded. Even though he was angry, he still restrained himself and questioned her calmly. Every word stabbed her heart. "Do you want me to die of heartache?"
"No." Ling Sheng hugged his waist and buried her face in his chest uncomfortably. Tears streamed down her face freely.
"Don't cry." Jun Shiyan's heart ached so much that he could not breathe. His big hand gently wiped away her tears.
Ling Sheng looked at him with teary eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "It hurts."
She did not know why, but when she saw him, she suddenly felt wronged.
"Okay." Upon seeing the young lady cry, Jun Shiyan hugged her tightly. "I'll take a look in the car."
"Okay." Actually, Ling Sheng did not feel much pain anymore. It was just that it had hurt a little after walking for a while. At that moment, even she felt very unreasonable. She hugged his neck and buried herself in his embrace.
Jun Shiyan took some medicine and gauze and bandaged her wound again. He was already regretting it. Why had he let her walk on her own? If she had not walked, her wound would not have bled again.
The young lady's tender soles had been stabbed a few times, making him want to tear the person who had hurt her into pieces.
"How did you know?" Ling Sheng looked up, her misty eyes staring at him unblinkingly.
"If no one had told me, were you planning on keeping it from me?" Jun Shiyan let out a low sigh, his eyes full of reproach.
Ling Sheng would not dare. Even if she had not said anything, he would have discovered it, alright? She shook her head and said in a soft, hoarse voice, "No."
Jun Shiyan's actions were very soft, as he was afraid of hurting her. However, as he bandaged her wound, he could not help but touch it.
"It hurts." Ling Sheng's voice was small as she bit her lip. She was weak, pitiful, and helpless, like an abandoned kitten.
"Bite me if it hurts." Jun Shiyan's voice was hoarse. His eyes were lowered slightly, and his slender fingers wrapped her with gauze seriously.
Ling Sheng was an obedient child. She moved closer and bit his shoulder, her chin resting on it. "Does it hurt?"
Chapter 595: See No Evil
Jun Shiyan was amused by her small actions. He shook his head, his voice hoarse but sexy. "Don't hide it from me again."
"Okay!" Ling Sheng was very obedient and agreed to whatever he said. She could not change that, right?
After bandaging her wound, Jun Shiyan grabbed her shoulders with both hands and looked at her seriously. "You must tell me when you're injured. You mustn't worsen your injuries. I'm here."
Ling Sheng nodded vigorously with a serious expression. She reached out and swore seriously. "I promise I won't do it again."
"Won't do what again?" Jun Shiyan would not let her go so easily. She was so badly injured that she had actually tried to hide it from him.
"I won't hide it from you. I will tell you." Ling Sheng's expression became even more serious as she continued thinking. "If I hide such a thing from you again, let me... let me die of pain."
Jun Shiyan stared at her seriously, his voice containing some obvious anger. "If you lie again, let me die of pain."
Xu Xi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, did not even dare look in the rearview mirror. Oh my god, the two of you are showing off your affection. Can you not do it in front of a single man like me?
Jun Shiyan was angry. When he thought of the young lady hiding this from him, he did not want to speak.
Upon seeing that the man kept looking out of the car window, Ling Sheng crawled over and reached out to hold his face, making him turn around. She asked, "Why do you keep looking? Is it that nice?"
Jun Shiyan let out a low hum. "Yes."
Ling Sheng sighed and looked at the petty man in front of her. She smiled obsequiously. "I've already apologized. I won't do it again."
Jun Shiyan frowned slightly but did not speak.
Ling Sheng puffed her cheeks gloomily and looked at him with her big eyes. "Are you still angry?"
Jun Shiyan nodded. Actually, he was not angry at her. He was angry that he had not protected her well. Upon seeing the young lady's discouraged look, he said, "A little."
When she saw the man's pretentious appearance, a sly look appeared in Ling Sheng's eyes. The moment she moved closer, she tickled him. Just as she started to tickle him, she laughed. "Are you still angry?"
Jun Shiyan's lips curled up slightly in joy. He could not help but laugh when the young lady tickled him. A magnetic voice seemed to come out of his chest as he said, "Ms. Ling, are you sure you want to provoke me?"
The duo started quarreling in the car.
Ling Sheng was most afraid of being tickled. She laughed until she was out of breath as she looked at the man and pleaded. "I was wrong, Third Master. I know I was wrong. Please let me off this time. You're a magnanimous person, so you can let anything pass."
Xu Xi was about to die. Weren't the two of you angry at each other and having a cold war just now? Can't you stop? Oh my god, I feel like these public displays of affection are killing me. He hurriedly lowered the barrier in the middle. See no evil, see no evil! His heart raced!
Half an hour later, the car stopped.
Ling Sheng touched her lips, her face bitter as she pointed at the pretentious guy beside her, who was smiling at her. "It's all your fault. It's all your fault. How am I supposed to face others like this?"
If she had known, she would not have started it. She had screwed herself. She had only wanted to see him change his demeanor. She had not expected to suffer the most at the end of the day.
Jun Shiyan looked at her seriously and said dead earnestly, "You look very nice."
Ling Sheng wanted to curse. What was nice about her? How was she nice? "Am I ugly?"
Jun Shiyan shook his head. "I swear on my honor that you look pretty."
Ling Sheng did not believe him. She knocked on the partition and told Xu Xi, "Xu Xi, look. Isn't this lipstick color ugly?"
