Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 458: Chapter 458 Golden Tycoon (23)
 

Jin Rourou visited Jin Ning later, full of apologies. She hadn’t expected Old Master Jin to be so extreme.

Chuzheng expressed no opinion or comment on this.

But the next day, Jin Ning heard that Old Master Jin was injured, and so was his cousin. If someone hadn’t found them in time, they might have died.

“Did you do this?”

Jin Ning didn’t phrase it as a question.

Chuzheng paused while drinking water, playing dumb, “What?”

“Old Master Jin and my cousin.”

“What happened to them?” Chuzheng asked, her expression unchanged.

“The old man was injured, the cousin nearly lost his life.” Jin Ning stared at Chuzheng, trying to read something from her face.

They didn’t die, huh.

What a pity.

Chuzheng felt a tinge of regret in her heart but remained calm as she put down the glass, “It’s karma.” They deserved it for bullying you!

Jin Ning was suspicious, “It wasn’t you?”

Chuzheng turned her head, “What does it have to do with me?”

Jin Ning hesitated, could it really be just an accident?

Jin Ning didn’t believe it.

Accidents aren’t that coincidental.

Especially when it involves two people who have conflicts with oneself, both having accidents at the same time.

Soon, Jin Ning received news of a third accident.

Wei Linxuan had an accident as well.

Chuzheng insisted it had nothing to do with her, everything was karma.

Jin Ning couldn’t find any evidence and eventually had to let it go.

“Let’s go back tomorrow,” Jin Ning said.

His main reason for coming here was to attend Jin Rourou’s wedding.

With all the unpleasantness, he didn’t want to stay any longer.

“In a few days,” Chuzheng said, “I still have things to do.”

The mission target isn’t taken care of yet.

One must be serious in life.

You can’t give up halfway!

I said I would take care of you, and I will!

“What is it?” Jin Ning was curious, since she came into his life, he hadn’t seen her do anything substantial.

“Personal matters.” I’m a cold-hearted assassin!

“…” Jin Ning fell silent for a few seconds, “Miss Chuzheng, don’t you think it’s unfair?”

“What’s unfair about it?” Go ahead and say it. It’s not like I’m going to change anyway.

“You know everything about me, but I know nothing about you.”

Chuzheng said earnestly, “You know my name.”

“…”

Must you play word games?

Jin Ning, “You know what I mean.”

Chuzheng, “…”

As an assassin with professional integrity, how could I reveal my identity?

What if I scare off my Good Person Card?

What if he doesn’t like me anymore?

What if he thinks I’m a bad person?

What if he won’t let me touch his hair?

I can’t tell!

Chuzheng racked her brains and couldn’t come up with a good reason.

This is asking too much of poor little me!

Jin Ning sat on the hospital bed, looking up at her with a face that could turn the world upside down, wearing the uniform hospital gown with an unusual quality. His hair was soft and droopy from just waking up, looking docile and seemingly begging to be touched.

Chuzheng blinked.

Just a touch… that couldn’t hurt, right?

I’ll just… touch it once.

Chuzheng’s gaze roamed restlessly between Jin Ning’s hair and face, contemplating her approach.

Suddenly, Chuzheng closed in on the hospital bed with lightning speed. Jin Ning instinctively leaned back, caught by Chuzheng with one arm wrapped around his waist and the other hand placed by his side.

The face in Jin Ning’s eyes rapidly enlarged.

Then his cheek felt warm.

She had just drunk water and her lips were still moist.

Jin Ning’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Chuzheng’s hand at his waist moved up slowly, touching the hair she had longed for.

It was indeed soft.

But her kiss was soft, too.

Jin Ning was pressed down by Chuzheng.

Her serene scent wrapped around his nose, spreading all the way to the tip of his heart, and couldn’t be dispelled anymore.

The beating of his heart seemed to be right beside his ear.

As clear as could be.

Something in his blood began to stir.

Jin Ning came to his senses somewhat, but when he locked eyes with the girl’s attractive brows and eyes, the eyes he’d opened slowly closed again.

Chuzheng was half-pressing on him, kissing him a bit wantonly at first, then somewhat absent-mindedly later.

It was like she didn’t want to kiss anymore, yet didn’t want to let go of him either.

“Enough.” Jin Ning finally squeezed out two words.

Chuzheng, still seeming to want more, moved her hand from his head to her side, and suddenly dropped it.

She said very composedly, “It seems Wei Linxuan got one thing wrong.”

Jin Ning’s face turned beet red.

“Let… go.”

“Oh.” Chuzheng released her hold, asking considerately, “Do you need me to take you to the bathroom?”

Jin Ning’s face became even redder: “Get out.”

Chuzheng nodded and left promptly.

Touched his hair, happy,

And even got a kiss!

Kissing the Good Person Card sure is comfortable.

Kiss him more.

He will definitely think I’m a good person.

Chuzheng couldn’t help but walk with a light step.

[…] The Good Person Card would think you’re a hooligan! No! Right now, it also thinks Miss Sister is a hooligan, one pretending to be serious, a cultured scoundrel, a well-dressed rogue!

No one knows Miss Sister’s true face.

The King’s Account is crying its eyes out.

This is a sad story.

–

The room fell quiet, and Jin Ning took a deep breath.

He looked down at a certain part of himself with mixed feelings.

He clenched and then unclenched his fist, finally covering himself with a blanket, refraining from doing anything indecent.

But Chuzheng was different.

As soon as she came in, she asked, “Do you need to change your pants?”

Incredibly straightforward!

As if she wasn’t a girl at all!

“No need.” Jin Ning clenched his teeth, his ears red: “Why… why did you kiss me?”

I wanted to touch your hair so you wouldn’t struggle, that’s why! Always so clever!

[Miss Sister, just shut up!]

If you say that out loud, the Good Person Card will block you in a minute, believe it or not.

Unable to express herself freely, Chuzheng could only say, “You seemed very kissable.”

[…] Oh heavens! Oh earth! What kind of rogue line is that! It never taught such a rogue line!

Acting like a rogue with a straight face.

Truly a beast in gentleman’s clothing!

Jin Ning: “…”

–

Jin Ning didn’t want to stay in the hospital.

Chuzheng handled the discharge procedures, then booked a room in a nearby hotel.

However, ever since Chuzheng had kissed Jin Ning, Jin Ning had been avoiding her, not daring to meet her eyes.

As soon as she came in, he would either feign sleep or play with his phone.

Chuzheng didn’t mind; as long as he was hers, that was all that mattered.

Cajole?

What a joke.

She was a cold-blooded assassin.

How could she go about coaxing someone?

Such a loss of face!

Jin Ning avoided Chuzheng for two days, then suddenly realized she wasn’t around him much anymore.

Was it because his attitude was too cold and she got angry?

But Jin Ning didn’t know what to do either.

He had never encountered such a tricky situation before.

Even when he dealt with huge murder cases, facing vicious criminals, he didn’t feel like he did now.

Anxious, restless, at a loss.

Various emotions pressed down on him so heavily that he could hardly breathe.

What made him even more distraught was that every night, he dreamed of her,

With tender, sorrowful entanglements, so realistically imagined as if they truly happened, and then waking up in the morning, utterly embarrassed.
