Chapter 104: The Reversal
The sound of the door opening rang out again.
Chi Wan didn’t even look up: “No. Keep changing them.”
This time, however, there was no panicked apology or the sound of chaotic footsteps.
Steady footsteps drew closer. Immediately after, Chi Wan felt Ruan Nian shaking her frantically:
“Wanwan-jie, this one is really handsome!”
She was already dizzy from the wine, and now she was being shaken so violently that her brain felt like it was turning into mush.
Chi Wan pulled her arm away and muttered:
“Ruan Nian, don’t shake me. I don’t care how handsome he is, change them all!”
Then, a pair of black leather boots appeared in her vision.
Her mental power sensed the familiar scent before she did.
Chi Wan looked up and met the sharp eyes of Shi Ye, who was half-kneeling in front of her.
At this moment, those eyes were like blades that had fallen into water, their sharp edges hidden.
His raspy voice carried a hint of teasing:
“What kind of person do you want to change to?”
Chi Wan sobered up a bit and propped herself up to move back.
This movement caused the jacket she was wearing to slip slightly. Under the black robe, a section of her slender calf in white lace stockings was revealed.
It fell into those black eyes, igniting a hint of red.
“Change…”
Chi Wan quickly thought about how to answer, but the alcohol surged up, and her brain stalled again.
One word floated in the air, with no follow-up for a long time.
Taking in the misty eyes on her flushed face, Shi Ye moved closer, his gaze darkening:
“The moment you get home, you look for Nanchong. Is that bit of business between men and women really that fun?”
From the initial shock when he first heard the news, to the cold realization and spending money like water to seize the spot of her Nanchong.
He had been puzzled in his heart. How could she, Chi Wan, be so lustful?
The person had changed; she was completely different from before. The current her made it impossible for him to look away.
But this lustful streak seemed to have only increased.
Feeling somewhat resentful, Shi Ye stood up, his gaze toward Ruan Nian flat and emotionless:
“Minors are not allowed. Get out.”
Ruan Nian pouted and ran out without daring to say a word.
After the door closed again, Chi Wan also stood up. She tried to walk away, but her arm was gently caught by Shi Ye.
The draped jacket slipped down at that moment and was caught by his other hand.
With one glance, he saw the golden dragon pattern embroidered on it.
It was Cang Lin’s clothing.
During the auction, he had been the one bidding most fiercely against him, but he had suddenly gone quiet in the last few minutes.
The Cang family’s assets wouldn’t have lost to him; he knew that clearly.
“What are you doing?”
Chi Wan was dizzy, her words soft and warm, carrying a blurry quality due to her intoxication.
If she went out like this and was seen by those guys, who knew what would happen.
Determined to keep her here, he pulled her into his arms, his voice as gentle as possible:
“I’ll have someone bring up sobering tea and the auction item. You can go down after you’ve sobered up.”
Chi Wan was somewhat unwilling but couldn’t overcome his iron-like arm. She looked up at him:
“What auction item?”
“Naturally, the auction item you wanted.”
Chi Wan tilted her head in confusion, but her vision was blurry from the alcohol, and the features on the handsome face before her seemed to be shifting.
Ding—
The door opened, and several men in black attire walked in. The leader carried an exquisite carved sandalwood box, while the man beside him carried a cup of sobering tea.
After supervising Chi Wan as she drank the tea, Shi Ye signaled for his subordinates to open the box.
Thus, under Chi Wan’s curious gaze, the box slowly opened.
Amidst the sound of gasps, the box was empty!
The men’s expressions turned frantic. The leader immediately knelt down:
“Brother Ye, we… we swear we never opened this box!”
An item worth 170 billion Xingbi—they wouldn’t dare steal it even if they were given ten times the courage!
Shi Ye’s eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to contact the auction staff via Guangnao, Chi Wan’s communicator received a call in her daze.
Pu Jing’s voice came from inside:
“Miss, come down quickly! Mr. Chi is waiting for you downstairs at Gougou Paradise with the top auction item!”
Chapter 105: What Was the Last Sentence?
“Boss, what happened? Why are we closing the shop entirely?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Clear the place immediately. All bills are on the house.”
“Yes!”
Within ten minutes, every guest in Gougou Paradise was cleared out.
Even though Chi Wan was still dizzy, she could sense Shi Ye’s fury.
The aura of the Black Wolf King couldn’t stop leaking out, wild and fierce.
To make a Shaobing so angry that their mental power leaked out—it was practically an blood-feud.
As the elevator descended continuously, Chi Wan couldn’t help but look up at him.
Under the pale lights, his face was calm.
If she weren’t an SSS-rank Guide with mental power equivalent to his, she really would have been deceived by his current appearance of being unbothered.
Sensing her gaze, he looked down at her, his calm black eyes softening:
“Don’t worry. I will take it back.”
His raspy, magnetic voice spoke words of comfort, but Chi Wan heard the scent of blood and storm.
Ding—
The elevator arrived.
When the elevator doors opened, two rows of Shaobing were standing straight outside.
Yes, Shaobing.
Not the formal-wear service staff of Gougou Paradise, but Shaobing whose mental power Chi Wan could immediately sense.
Furthermore, they were all dressed in black combat suits with grim expressions—clearly veterans of many battles.
Chi Wan glanced at their chests.
The symbol of K1 Base—a silver-black wolf head.
She swallowed hard and continued walking. The entire hall was filled with people from K1 Base, along with some bodyguard teams from Gougou Paradise. Clearly, these were all Shi Ye’s people.
In her blurry vision, she saw Shi Ye and Chi Che standing opposite each other outside the entrance of Gougou Paradise.
“Miss.”
Pu Jing supported Chi Wan, looking closely at her expression and whispering in concern:
“Miss, have you been drinking? I’ll have the bodyguards get some sobering tea for you.”
Chi Wan held him back. “I’ve already had some. Uncle Pu, what’s the situation outside?”
Pu Jing looked outside, frowning as he whispered:
“I don’t know what method this Mr. Chi used to get that top auction item, but as it looks now, if he doesn’t return that item to Commander Shi, a fierce battle is unavoidable. The streets have been cleared!”
Even with his vast experience, this was the first time he had encountered such a scene.
“This Mr. Chi really has some guts, stealing Commander Shi’s things on his own turf.”
Chi Wan’s head felt heavier and heavier. She looked at the two figures behind the crowd. Chi Che looked calm and composed, even carrying a hint of a smile.
She gripped Pu Jing’s arm. “Uncle Pu, I’m so sleepy. I want to sleep for a bit.”
Pu Jing looked behind him. “Take the Miss to find a nearby hotel to rest.”
“Yes.”
…
Chi Wan fell asleep almost the moment her head hit the pillow.
Due to the effect of the alcohol, she slept very deeply, so much so that when Qi Ye climbed through the window, she still hadn’t woken up.
The faint, warm yellow light cast a warmth over the girl sleeping soundly on the bed. Her breathing was shallow, and she slept sweetly.
At this moment, Qi Ye felt extremely at peace.
Hei Mi stayed on guard downstairs, staring at the intense combat situation just a street away, silently praying for his Commander’s date to go smoothly.
But after a moment, Qi Ye felt that just looking at her was no longer enough.
He selfishly wanted to kiss her, his deep gaze tracing her full, red lips over and over again.
Desire moved before reason. He stood up, his fingers passing through the back of her neck, and then he kissed her.
Chi Wan was kissed awake, whimpering between his lips.
She received an even deeper and heavier kiss in return.
Only when she could barely breathe did he let her go, pulling her firmly into his embrace:
“Wanwan, let’s elope.”
Chi Wan’s brain was a bit dazed. “Elope to where?”
“There is a legendary galaxy called the ZLP Galaxy. They say the scenery there is beautiful and there are fewer pollution bodies. Let’s go there, alright?”
Chi Wan had been kissed awake by force. Now, with his low, raspy, coaxing voice in her ear, combined with his misleadingly cool scent confusing her, she couldn’t tell for a moment if this was reality or a dream.
As if possessed, she nodded. “Alright.”
Immediately after, Chi Wan was wrapped in his black robe and picked up with one arm.
It wasn’t until he leaped down from the second floor and the cold wind brushed against Chi Wan’s face that she finally sobered up a bit.
This wasn’t a dream.
“Commander, no one noticed.”
“Good. No need to follow.”
Qi Ye shook his black robe, completely covering Chi Wan’s petite body.
His long legs stepped elegantly, walking straight out of the deep alley.
Once they entered the street, the sound of gunfire could be faintly heard.
The cleared Underground Trading City wasn’t quiet amidst the gunfire. Qi Ye walked in the opposite direction of the conflict, carrying Chi Wan toward the exit.
A thousand meters ahead was the exit of the Underground Trading City. The lights along the way were brilliant, making Chi Wan’s eyes look radiant beneath the partially covered robe.
She peeked her head out slightly to look behind Qi Ye, only seeing artillery shells like fireworks, exploding with a destructive romance.
“Are we really going to elope?”
“Mhm. Regretting it?”
Chi Wan shook her head.
Eloping meant leaving this place forever, which was exactly what she desired.
But the System’s voice suddenly rang out urgently:
[Host, you must not be moved! Do not agree to elope with him!]
This was the second time the System had warned her not to be moved.
Chi Wan suddenly became alert and sober. She asked in her heart:
“Why can’t I be moved?”
[Host, have you forgotten Ji Ke’s last sentence?!]
Chi Wan’s heart skipped a beat.
At that time, her soul was being torn apart, and she hadn’t heard clearly what Ji Ke said at the end.
She felt a bit of dread: “What did she say in her last sentence?”
