~7 min read 1,337 words

"Just make do with a little for now; tomorrow I'll take you to eat something good," Chen Xun coaxed.

An Yinan smiled and stepped down from the sofa. Just as she was about to take a step, Chen Xun scooped her back onto the sofa, then put on the socks that had been set aside for her, followed by her slippers.

"Forgot? Niya said you aren't allowed to catch a cold," Chen Xun instructed earnestly.

An Yinan nodded without saying anything. She took his hand and walked to the bathroom. The two of them washed their hands together before returning to the dining table.

"Your skills are getting better and better," An Yinan said, looking at the dumpling noodles in her bowl. She couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

"My wife taught me well," Chen Xun laughed heartily.

This meal, An Yinan ate until she was stuffed, a rare occurrence. Sometimes, men need to be coaxed too; she had only eaten a couple of extra bites, and Chen Xun's face had blossomed with joy. She didn't know why, but how could there be such an easy-to-coax man in the world?

"Tonight, I have to go to Pengcheng. I'll have Yun Shu, Yun Mo, and Xiao Guo all move in. Make sure the windows are locked tight and always stay alert for safety," Chen Xun instructed with some unease, then pulled her into his arms. "In Hong Kong, we can live together every day, but I'm still afraid—afraid that I won't be able to protect you."

His heart was very conflicted; he couldn't forget that this was a mission.

But he enjoyed every moment he spent with her.

Yet he couldn't let her be in danger for the sake of his own enjoyment. If Nan Nan hadn't discovered it, this trip to the hospital would have attracted the attention of many factions, and they would have been in danger.

The Xie Family! They were forcing Nan Nan to choose; if she didn't choose, then die.

A threat!

A threat to her life.

And he...

Nan Nan was his bottom line, a bottom line that would mean death if touched, a bottom line he guarded with his life, yet it was being tested again and again in Hong Kong.

Xie Family Third Young Master...

Chen Xun etched this person deeply into his heart.

"Are you going over so late? Did something happen in Pengcheng?" An Yinan was a bit worried. After all, Chen Xun always made his reports during the day and would rush back at night to be with her. He was afraid she would be in danger at night if he wasn't by her side, so he was uneasy. But this time, what had happened in Pengcheng? What made Chen Xun have to go even at night?

Chen Xun tapped her forehead. "What are you thinking about!"

"It's just a routine report. Pengcheng is in the Mainland; whatever happens there is easy to resolve. What are you worried about?"

An Yinan smiled, and thinking of her own plans, she could only nod.

She had originally thought about sneaking out at night. After all, since the two of them lived together, finding an excuse seemed a bit difficult.

But with Chen Xun's vigilance, the chance of her sneaking out was almost less than one percent. Now it was fine; his going to Pengcheng to report just happened to give her time to handle her private affairs.

"Alright, be careful and come back safely." An Yinan hugged his waist, feeling his intense heartbeat and the peaceful moment.

The sky gradually darkened...

Chen Xun arranged for the three of them, "You must pay attention to the movements in the house. In an emergency, break the door down."

"Yes." The three of them immediately accepted the order.

Chen Xun looked at his calm wife, then finally turned and left. When he left, he didn't take anything.

"Time for bed." An Yinan looked at the three of them and waved her hand.

"Leader, this... isn't it a bit early? It's just eight o'clock."

Yun Shu couldn't help but speak up. Usually, the Leader would work until midnight; let alone going to bed this early, even when working until midnight, she had to be urged by others to sleep, otherwise, who knew how long she would stay busy?

A woman who didn't care about her life once she started working.

An Yinan gave her a mournful look. "Yun Xiaoshu, your Leader is all alone today. Shouldn't I go ahead and warm up the bed?"

After speaking, ignoring the gazes of the three people behind her, An Yinan returned to her room alone.

Yun Shu's face flushed slightly, and Yun Mo and Xiao Guo coughed softly; they felt a bit awkward.

The Leader was calling them single dogs, wasn't she!

Since when did she need to be so cryptic?

Afterward, Yun Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, realizing something was wrong.

"You guys guard the door; I'm going back to my room to rest for a while." Yun Shu figured something out and smiled slightly.

"Go, go, I'm guarding it." Yun Mo waved his hand.

Xiao Guo was even more direct; he took his luggage and made a floor bed right at An Yinan's door.

An Yinan returned to the room, found various parts from different locations, and assembled a black pistol. Then, under the bed frame, she picked up a dagger. This was something she had asked Duo Xiaoyu to prepare, previously just in case of an emergency.

She hadn't expected it to come in handy today.

Chen Xun knew the location of all these things, and it had been cleared by him, so he wouldn't feel suspicious when she used them in the future.

After preparing everything, An Yinan pulled back the quilt and began to catch up on sleep.

The night... grew deeper and deeper... dark clouds covered the moon.

A strong wind howled, with the air of a storm about to arrive.

At twelve o'clock sharp, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes. She didn't need an alarm, she didn't need time; her biological clock had already rung.

Looking at the pitch-black sky outside, she put on a black tracksuit and threw the dagger and pistol into her space.

Then she opened the window she had specifically left a crack in yesterday, climbed outside, and hung a rope. Even if there was wind, it wouldn't blow the window open, and the people guarding the living room wouldn't sense anything unusual.

However...

When she climbed down from the window, she saw a person under the window...

Dressed in black, wearing a mask on her face, the whole person was wrapped in darkness, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

"You... how did you guess?" An Yinan asked helplessly.

Yun Shu's eyes curved. "The Leader never likes to drag things out until the next day when she's been wronged."

Based on her understanding of her.

Yun Shu handed over a mask. An Yinan took it, and the two looked at each other. She put on the mask, and one after the other, they left directly.

"Xie Sanshao is at the Huihuang Club today. The club itself is an industrial asset of the Xie Family. Today, Xie Sanshao invited friends to hold a party at the club." Yun Shu stated the results of her investigation.

"It is said that in order to build connections, Xie Sanshao also invited people from the Hong Kong Police Department and the British Consulate in Hong Kong."

An Yinan raised an eyebrow; her original plan for today was to first deal with that young lady from the Li Family, as being provoked again and again was truly annoying to her—when mosquitoes keep bothering you, it is best to just swat them dead.

However...

Xie Sanshao, huh...

Interesting.

"Then let's go to Half-Mountain Villa first," An Yinan decided quickly.

"Half-Mountain Villa?" Yun Shu only asked in confusion for a moment, then realized something and hurriedly followed in An Yinan's footsteps.
