Military Young Master’s Sweetheart - Chapter 18

Why did they have to look at Xia Xingyu?

Fu Guoqian truly couldn’t understand. Even Xia Ying was dumbfounded, much less him.

“Dad, I still need to go to school!” Only Xia Ying didn’t want to go.

After much difficulty, Xia Xingyu had finally left. She could have properly consolidated her relationship with Fu Guoqian, but now …

“This matter is settled. You guys go and clean it up, your mom and I still have things to say.”

Xiahou Yong had already made up his mind. No matter what anyone said, it would be useless. The impatience in his tone and the obvious anger on his face made it impossible for anyone to resist.

Ning Xi wanted to laugh at Xiahou Yong’s actions, but in front of a man, she couldn’t laugh out loud, so she could only endure it.

Xiahou Yong felt even more uncomfortable when he saw this.

“What do you mean?”

After being asked, Ning Xi couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore.

Only when she saw Xiahou Yong’s unfriendly expression did she finally come to a stop.

“We’ve already been married for so many years, yet you’re still so worried, so I want to laugh …”

“I want to laugh even more when you tell Little Shadow to stop his studies and go watch over the stars. Xiahou Yong, you are the chairman of the Imperial Group, how come you still act like a child?”

Xiahou Yong’s face suddenly turned red upon hearing Qin Lie’s question.

This was an unsolvable answer.

Xiahou Yong had cared about the woman in front of him for far too long. He would never allow anyone to set their eyes on his Ning Xi.

In the Michelin-starred restaurant near the airport, Xia Xingyu did not eat.

Shen Peian stared at the woman in front of him for a long moment, but neither of them moved their forks.

“Not eating?”

Every time the man looked at Xia Xingyu’s skinny body, he would feel his heart ache.

However, when Xia Xingyu thought of leaving Ning Xi and going to a strange city, she could not be happy. She was not interested in the delicacies she loved the most in the past either, she had no appetite at all.

“Eat, I’m not hungry!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xia Xingyu suddenly discovered that there was a piece of good Greek smoked meat in the corner of her mouth.

“Open your mouth.”

“…”

If Xia Xingyu remembered correctly, this was the second time Shen Peian had fed her since her rebirth.

The woman couldn’t help but be slightly moved by her pampering. It was just that she hadn’t yet avenged her great hatred, so she definitely couldn’t be moved by her true feelings.

“Take it away!”

Xia Xingyu’s tone was heavy, and as her words fell, the cold light in Shen Peian’s eyes grew stronger.

Shen Peian put down his fork, and the smoked meat returned to his smooth plate. He sneered, but the words he spoke didn’t have the slightest bit of warmth.

“Do you think the Madam will change her mind and let you stay in the Quan Cheng just because you want to stop eating?”

“Xia Xingyu, you are too childish!”

Ah, hunger strike. Did Shen Peian really take her to be an eighteen year old child?

Xia Xingyu was too lazy to explain. He coldly snorted and turned his head away.

She wanted to use some of this man’s power, but she couldn’t bury herself in it.

Fu Guoqian’s betrayal from his previous life was still fresh in her mind. To her, men were like canyons in the abyss.

Shen Peian, I appreciate your kindness, but don’t blame me for being cold and hot. It’s too difficult to seduce you.

Xia Xingyu thought like this, and his expression stiffened on purpose.

Sitting opposite of the two of them, one was the cold faced Hades and the other was the Demon Goddess, their auras were so low that it was terrifying.

It was hard to imagine the two of them just sitting there until they got on the plane.

As for the item on the table, it remained untouched.

Ning Xi had arranged for the first class cabin to be prepared early in the morning. The captain had flown a private plane in the Xia family before, and had received help from Ning Xi. Naturally, he took good care of Xia Xingyu.

“Eldest Miss, the Madam asked me to give this to you. Take it well.”

The captain handed him a thick file and a letter.

“Thank you, Captain.”

Xia Xingyu took the document and felt a burst of bitterness in her heart.

Mom, you have to take care of yourself. I will try to become stronger.

When I return to Authority City, it will be time for the two of them to pay the price.

It was only after the plane took off that Xia Xingyu opened the letter. Inside the envelope was a picture of a man she did not recognize.

“Did my mother ever tell you about him?”

Xia Xingyu showed the photo to Shen Peian, who stared at it blankly. He knew this person, and he was familiar with him.

However, he never would have thought that this person was familiar with Ning Xi.

“I heard that he is a very powerful military head.”

Shen Peian’s vague words made Xia Xingyu wonder what Ning Xi’s intentions were.

Could it be that her mother wanted her to join forces with the man in the photo to save the Imperial Group? But in that case, wouldn’t Dad be finished?

Too many questions were swirling in his mind. Clearly, the answer to them was in the city.

The document was not for her. There were two big words written on it.

“Changqi!”

Ning Xi had told Shen Peian in advance to prevent her from opening it for him.

There were also a few short comments on the envelope. Ning Xi told her to take care of herself and secretly deliver the documents to 68 Yushan Road, Star Refuge.

Thinking of the address, Xia Xingyu vaguely had an answer. That was probably where her mother grew up.

At two in the morning, the plane flew into the sky and gradually became stable. Xia Xingyu was very tired, she closed her eyes, and faintly felt sleepy.

Shen Peian sat across from her for a moment, then the man suddenly stood up, bent down, and planted a kiss on Xia Xingyu’s cheek.

“Good night.”

Shen Pei An’s voice was pleasant to hear and seemed to have a hypnotic effect. Xia Xingyu fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up, she was almost in Martial City.

She looked at Shen Peian sleepily. The man was still unconscious.

If he had opened the document at this time, he probably wouldn’t have discovered it. Thinking of this, Xia Xingyu took out the folder and tried to open the seal on it.

However, when his hand touched a corner, Shen Peian suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Xia Xingyu’s fingertips with an ice-cold gaze.

“…”

Xia Xingyu’s back turned cold as he looked at Shen Peian. Sure enough, he had awoken.

Their eyes met, and Xia Xingyu felt exceptionally awkward.

“That, I only saw that the horn is a little wrinkled, there’s no other meaning to it.”

She smiled bitterly and had no choice but to return the document to its original position.

But Shen Peian had no intention of sleeping any longer. He gave a soft “En” and locked his gaze on the woman.

“Sleep a little more.”

Xia Xingyu felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze. She wanted to stand up and walk around, but she still hadn’t stood up.

Shen Pei An said something.

“Sit down. We’re here.”

How did he know? Xia Xingyu was hesitating when the broadcast started.

“Passengers, there are still 10 minutes before the plane arrives at the reclusive city. Please continue to fasten your seat belt, do not walk around and wait for the plane to land safely.”

She had come after all, even when the city was closed.
