Chapter 555: Do You Have Feelings For Me?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Han Jia’s first reaction was to ask Long Xi for help. However, Long Xi had already warned her, and she didn’t expect that Reger would attack her again so soon.
Her subconscious action was to look for Long Xi, but now she was told that Long Xi was meeting the new leader of the Dark Empire alone. It was the woman who wanted to attack her earlier, Yan Kuan’s woman.
Don’t think that she doesn’t know that the way Long Xi looked at that woman was definitely not looking at an ordinary person.
Could this Long Xi have other thoughts? Did he forget his mission? Did she forget that he wanted to use Shen Xiaoxiao’s two children to exchange for the antidote for him?
But once she thought of the antidote, Han Jia forced herself to calm down. Long Xi was not an ordinary man. He was calm and decisive. He would not risk his life for the sake of his love for her. Was she thinking too much?
However, the way Long Xi looked at Shen Xiaoxiao was definitely not normal. What should she do now?
Also, should she remind Long Xi?
What a mess!
“Close all the venues for the time being. Prepare the car. We’ll go to the resort.”
Han Jia wisely chose not to fight with Reger head-on. Instead, she immediately retreated. Compared to these venues, she was more concerned about the poison in Long Xi’s body. She was really afraid that Long Xi would not complete his mission because of his softness.
Just as she reached the door, Han Jia stopped again. Since Shen Xiaoxiao was with Long Xi, it meant that there was no one in Las Vegas at the moment. If she acted now and helped Long Xi take down the two children… Wouldn’t it be easier?
“Activate the backup team and head to Las Vegas immediately. You already know the plan early in the morning. Carry it out ahead of time.”
Han Jia’s sudden order shocked the subordinates. It was wrong to deploy the backup team ahead of time. If Boss Long knew, they would be in big trouble.
“But if Boss Long knows? I’m afraid…”
“Don’t forget, I also have the authority to command the backup team. You have to listen to half of my orders. If it’s really so difficult, I don’t mind letting the old woman tell you herself.”
The subordinates broke out in cold sweat when they heard this. Compared to Boss Long, they were more afraid of the old woman who had poisoned their bodies. If it really was the old woman’s orders, it would be several times more important than Long Xi’s orders.
There might be a chance of survival if they disobeyed Long Xi’s orders, but once they disobeyed the old woman’s orders, it would be more painful than death.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect that Long Xi would actually stop her at the company, and even provoke her to this place. Sure enough, whether it was Yan Kuan or Long Xi, this man was always able to drive everyone mad with grievances.
“Boss Long, this is a robbery at work. What are you trying to do?”
Long Xi looked at Xiaoxiao, whom he had not seen for a few days, and did not expect her to still be so hot-tempered. However, she seemed to have not even looked at him from the time they met until now. Was she hiding from him?
Why? Why was she avoiding him? For no reason at all, was she avoiding him because of something?
“Xiaoxiao, are you avoiding me?”
Long Xi directly asked his question. Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart was stifled, and then she smiled mockingly. She turned her head to look into his eyes and said fearlessly, “Give me a reason to avoid you!”
Long Xi looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and did not say anything. He just stared at her in a daze, not missing a single detail or the flow of her eyes.
After a long while, he smiled faintly and said, “It’s good that you aren’t hiding.”
His smile was cold, and his dark eyes were even more penetrating.
The rainy season was coming, and the temperature of the holiday villa was much lower than outside. The thin outer clothes were fluttering in the wind.
Pink and white cherry blossoms danced in the sky, and white curtains could be seen everywhere. If this place was just for fun, it really had a unique flavor.
“You brought me here on purpose. Tell me, why did you bring me here?”
Long Xi turned around and took two steps, then sat down in front of a tea table that had already been prepared. Surrounded by winding water, he watched the petals slowly float on top of it. It really had a different flavor.
“It’s a beautiful day. I just wanted to treat Xiaoxiao to a cup of tea.”
“Boss Long really knows how to choose a place. Drinking a cup of tea and running so far away, it’s really romantic.”
Long Xi didn’t know why he had to drive a few hours to this place to drink tea, but he knew that the Chinese style here should be the kind that Shen Xiaoxiao really liked. Didn’t all Chinese people love this kind of style?
“I thought Xiaoxiao would like this place.”
Shen Xiaoxiao sat down slowly and looked around casually. She really liked this place, but the key was that now was not the time to like it.
“Boss Long is really relaxed. How did he manage to straighten out the situation on the 24th Street of the Western District so quickly?”
“There’s no need to use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken. My subordinates are not stupid enough to make me do everything myself.”
“Is that so? But Boss Long has made me look at you in a new light. You can even kill a group of young girls who are not even 13 years old. It seems that this rumor is true. Boss Long’s ruthlessness is really amazing.”
Long Xi’s hand that was making the tea did not stop because of Shen Xiaoxiao’s words. He knew that Shen Xiaoxiao would definitely know about this. He even knew that Shen Xiaoxiao must have sent people to clean up the place.
“Didn’t Xiaoxiao help me clean it up herself? What do I have to worry about? As for whether it was done by me or not, it was all done by my subordinates anyway.”
“Boss Long is protecting your beauty.”
“Beauty? Hahaha, not as good as a certain someone.”
Long Xi did not answer her question, but Shen Xiaoxiao got the answer she wanted. It was indeed Han Jia’s doing. For some reason, she was actually relieved in her heart. This feeling was so complicated that Shen Xiaoxiao did not know why.
“Han Xin’s ordering the troops. I didn’t expect Boss Long to know this as a citizen of the H Country.”
“Long Xi. I’d like Xiaoxiao to call me Long Xi.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the cup of fragrant tea in front of her, which was covered in mist. She pinched it with her three fingers and swallowed it in three mouthfuls.
Her actions were smooth and fluid. She was not afraid that Long Xi might have drugged the cup. Such a trusting action made Long Xi feel more relaxed.
“Now, should we have a good talk about the topic of old friends and enemies? Xiaoxiao, what do you think?”
Shen Xiaoxiao put down the teacup. She knew that Long Xi had waited for so long before coming to find her. He must have guessed a little, but at most, he would think that she had an old relationship with him. If he had guessed that he was the Black Emperor, then it must be Yan Kuan.
Sure enough, Long Xi looked at Shen Xiaoxiao without saying anything and continued to speak sternly:
“Xiaoxiao and I used to be lovers, right? Or rather, Xiaoxiao, you have feelings for me….”
