Chapter 796

"What? You refused?" Xi Yao exclaimed. "Do you have somewhere better to go?"

"No!"

Xi Yao suddenly thought of a possibility!

"You don't intend to stay on as deputy officer, do you?"

Liu Mengyun countered: "Why not?"

"Is Chief Su unwilling to let you go?"

"No!" Liu Mengyun shook her head. "The chief is willing—it's my own choice to stay."

"Why? Can you tell me the reason?"

"The chief needs me!"

Xi Yao shoved her hands into her long, beautiful hair, struggling to understand Liu Mengyun's thinking.

She lowered her voice suddenly: "Liu sister, you're not… in love with Chief Su, are you?"

Liu Mengyun looked up at Xi Yao: "Some things can't be explained, but I know—I'm better off staying by the chief's side!"

Xi Yao whispered: "What can't be explained? Tell me—I've got all the time in the world!"

Many women are naturally drawn to gossip!

Xi Yao was no exception.

"You have time, but I don't!" Liu Mengyun's tone turned suddenly cold. "And I have no obligation to explain anything to you!"

"Fine!"

After so many days together, Xi Yao had grown accustomed to Liu Mengyun's temper.

Cold personality, strict work ethic… and she changes moods fast too!

For her to chat this long with you today is already a great favor.

Xi Yao guessed she'd just touched on Liu Mengyun's sensitive point.

"Then I'm leaving!"

"Mm."

Xi Yao hurried out of the chief's residence building.

She felt she'd just gained another piece of intelligence.

The next day, at Xicheng Gate of Mount Dajiao.

Su Yang was in high spirits, almost wanting to whistle.

Liu Yun, meanwhile, wore a gloomy expression, pondering how to report back.

When General Qian finds out about this, his mood won't be good.

"Liu Colonel, relax!" Su Yang said. "If anyone sees you like this, they'll think I'm abusing you."

Liu Yun forced a smile onto his face.

"Forget it—your expression is worse than before!"

"What if General Qian gets angry?"

"No problem! No problem!" Su Yang said. "It's manageable—I can handle it!"

Liu Yun gave Su Yang a skeptical look.

He wasn't worried about Su Yang—he was worried about himself!

"Liu Colonel, then goodbye!"

"You're kicking me out, aren't you?"

It wasn't that Liu Yun was overly sensitive—he was still standing at the city gate, hadn't even summoned his companion beast.

"I'm just afraid you'll delay your return to report!"

"What difference does it make?"

"Seems like none!"

As soon as Liu Yun left, the stone in Su Yang's chest finally dropped.

He hummed a off-key tune as he boarded the military vehicle back to the chief's residence.

Fang Jing drove, smiling: "Chief Su seems very happy!"

"Sending off a plague demon—of course I'm happy!" Su Yang glanced at Fang Jing. "By the way, when's the wedding?"

"Probably by year's end!"

"Good! Don't forget to send me an invitation!"

"I won't forget!"

Having Su Yang attend the wedding banquet would be a great honor!

Su Yang added casually: "Keep it simple—no extravagance!"

"I understand—I'll invite only family and two tables of friends!"

"I understand, I'm only inviting family and two tables of friends!"
