Chapter 1840: After Raising the Good Baby, I Faked My Death 34

~8 min read 1,431 words

Wen Si Luo did not get up until the next afternoon.

He lay on the bed for a long time, out of the corner of his eye he saw a few empty boxes on the carpet, angry enough to kick the covers with his toes, then rolled to the other side and buried himself in Jin Chen's pillow.

Lying like that, he could still see the large floor-to-ceiling mirror on the other side; last night's intensity had been cleaned up, but the mirror surface was still a bit blurry.

Wen Si Luo's face flushed, and he curled up under the blanket.

Having been the Underground City's Fighting King for so long, he had never felt his stamina drained so quickly.

Moreover, it was clearly meant to punish Jin Chen.

Just as he thought that, Wen Si Luo touched the ring on his ring finger again, lingeringly brushing it against his lips, then supported his waist and sat up.

"Brother."

The bedroom door opened, and Jin Chen walked in neatly dressed, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth, looking quite satisfied.

Wen Si Luo silently reached out to him, only relaxing when he was embraced, found a comfortable posture to nestle in, yawned slowly, and still seemed a bit dazed.

"Let's sleep a bit more later; first, have something to eat."

Seeing that he was about to fall asleep again, Jin Chen rubbed his lower back and spoke softly.

"Mm… I'm not sleeping." Wen Si Luo's hoarse voice still carried drowsiness, a little dry, and he unconsciously licked his lips.

Jin Chen scooped him out of the blanket, held him with one arm while fetching clothes, and as they passed the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Wen Si Luo glanced at it—his shoulders, neck, and arms were all covered in bruises.

Even fights had never left so many marks.

Wen Si Luo lowered his head and bit Jin Chen's shoulder, but without any force.

"Brother is a bad guy."

He muttered softly, yet he was quite pleased, swaying his legs and wriggling a few times in Jin Chen's embrace.

Immediately after, a crisp slap sounded; Wen Si Luo froze, and when placed on the small sofa he lifted his head resentfully, his wet eyes fixed on the culprit.

"Why did you hit my butt?"

"Don't move around, quickly put on your clothes and go eat."

Wen Si Luo also got angry, shrinking on the sofa and glaring at Jin Chen, "I'm not wearing them."

He's got quite a temper now too!

Jin Chen leaned in and pinched the earlobe of his explosive-haired wife, then smiled, "Not wearing clothes is fine anyway—no one will come in."

"Let's try the living room today; things seem a bit lacking, why not have A Si buy a few more boxes…"

Wen Si Luo clapped a hand over Jin Chen's mouth, flushing to the corners of his eyes, "I'll wear them."

Jin Chen ruffled his hair, "Good."

Wen Si Luo shifted slightly, and his lower back immediately ached terribly; he simply flopped onto the sofa, whining and acting cute for Jin Chen to dress him, soft and weak.

But when he received a communication from his subordinate at the fighting arena, he remained cold and ruthless, able to freeze people into silence.

Jin Chen listened beside him, occasionally rubbing Wen Si Luo's waist and back through his shirt, lost in thought.

His subordinate reported on the handling of Aierde and Wen Zhu's corpses after they left last night, as well as the reactions of various criminals.

Wen Si Luo caught a few bits, then hung up and said to Jin Chen, "The criminals who participated last night discovered… your identity as Xigemeng; will that affect you?"

"It's fine, let them investigate."

Jin Chen didn't care at all, "My 'I' has a clean record; they won't find anything useful."

"Then that's good."

Wen Si Luo stood up, still holding his hand, "I'm going to the Underground City for a bit."

Wen Si Luo gazed earnestly at Jin Chen, thought for a few seconds, then said, "Brother, wait for me here; don't sneak after me."

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Still not letting me go out?"

"Hmm…"

Wen Si Luo nodded guiltily, leaned in to kiss the corner of Jin Chen's mouth, "Brother, I still don't feel completely at ease."

"Give me a little time to accept, okay?"

Jin Chen was totally nonchalant, "Sure."

Anyway, everyone who deserved to die in the Underground City is dead, and there won't be any danger Wen Si Luo can't handle.

"Be careful yourself."

Jin Chen still reminded him.

Afterwards he sauntered into the front hall, plopped onto the sofa to watch a movie, and even grabbed some fruit to eat.

That was truly leisurely.

Wen Si Luo stood at the main gate for a while before relaxing and stepping out, feeling quite excited, like hiding a brother in a golden house.

In recent years he's heard that many enforcers play the forced love game, and their endings are always mutual destruction, sometimes even suicide.

This always makes Wen Si Luo think of that person and his mother.

He trembles with fear that he might become like that, and even more fears losing his brother forever.

Fortunately, all his fears and feelings have been reciprocated.

Wen Si Luo thought, there's nothing better than this.

——

On this trip back to the Underground City, Wen Si Luo received more glances than usual, filled with wary curiosity; many people wanted to follow up and ask about Jin Chen's mysterious identity.

But without exception, they were all driven away by the masked persons.

Even if someone nimble darted over to approach Wen Si Luo, before they could speak they were cowed by a light gaze, their lips trembling for a long time, unable to utter a word.

"Young… Young Master."

Wen Si Luo's subordinate habitually shouted that, but thinking of the deceased Wen Zhu made him feel uneasy.

Fortunately, Wen Si Luo didn't mind, raising his hand to signal continuation.

Following your orders, we have already forced Yunran to reveal where the antidote is.

There are two hundred boxes of antidote in total, each box containing three vials of antitoxin; you need to inject all three vials for it to take effect, so what should we do with the remaining…?

Wen Si Luo's steps did not stop; to him, the coat's collar seemed somewhat overly long, and as he walked forward it lifted slightly. The subordinate, catching a glimpse of the red mark in his peripheral vision, was frightened and quickly lowered his head.

Did not dare to look.

Wen Si Luo walked toward the reception room at the farthest corner, and upon pushing the door open, Duoluoge was indeed waiting inside.

Wen Si Luo stopped at the doorway and said in a calm voice: 'Give me the remaining antitoxin; I only need one portion.'

Duoluoge naturally heard their conversation, immediately stood up to thank them, and then glanced toward the doorway.

'Hasn't Xigemeng come with you?'

Wen Si Luo narrowed his eyes warily, his tone suddenly dropping several degrees.

'What are you looking for him for?'

Duoluoge froze for a moment, 'Xigemeng came to me asking for something.'

This fighter king is also quite fierce!

No wonder they're a pair.

'But it's also for you; just take it.'

Duoluoge returned to Wen Si Luo the invalidated underground city warrant that had been annulled, as well as a document symbolizing the agreement of free citizens.

'Xigemeng and I are cooperating; he only demands your freedom, so in any case I profit, and these few cards also count as payment.'

Wen Si Luo's eyelashes twitched as he took the contract, glancing at the slightly immature handwriting on it and the bloodprint on the fingertip.

The pain from being forcibly brought here five years ago remains vivid to this day.

His brother helped him regain his freedom.

Really good.

Wen Si Luo curled the corner of his mouth, unconsciously touching his ring, sensing their close connection.

Duoluoge: 'You give me the antitoxin; what is your demand?'

'No need,' Wen Si Luo said, lowering his eyelids to stare fixedly at the contract, 'I already have it.'

After a while, Wen Si Luo finally lifted his gaze to him and said calmly: 'I will leave the underground city, and I also hope no one will come looking for trouble afterward; you'll keep it under control.'

Duoluoge rubbed his palms together, 'Rest assured, this is also what I promised Xigemeng.'

Not agreeing with that person is really asking to get blown away!
