Chapter 690: Don't You Miss Me At All?
As the saying goes, when there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is king. The Wolf King had been missing for so long that those monkeys had long gotten used to the life of those in power. Now, if they were asked to hand back the power in their hands and live under someone else, how could they be willing?
Since they weren't willing, would they take advantage of the "Wolf King" just returning, without sufficient preparation, to strike first?
Just as Xu Tian was focusing on studying the data, a knock on the office door sounded.
"Come in."
Xu Tian was focused on the documents and didn't look up, but he was irritated by a strong scent of men's perfume, causing him to cough twice.
"Cough... cough, cough... you..."
As soon as he looked up, he saw Jiang Chuan, wearing tight pants and a floral shirt, walking in like a peacock showing off its feathers.
"Brother Yi, Yue Moli is here." Jiang Chuan propped his arm up, sat directly on the desk, and winked at Xu Tian with a wicked smile. "You haven't seen your fiancée for so long; actually, you miss her too, right?"
"What did you say?" Xu Tian's pupils shrank suddenly, staring at Jiang Chuan in shock; the signature pen in his hand was almost snapped by him.
"I said your fiancée is here!" Jiang Chuan looked at Xu Tian with some surprise and asked suspiciously, "Why do you have this expression... Could it be that you two had a fight?"
Xu Tian remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but he really couldn't think of what he should say right now.
The queen of the Western Alliance's dark forces, known as "Medusa," Yue Moli, was actually the Wolf King's fiancée?
Seeing Xu Tian not speaking, Jiang Chuan frowned strangely and jumped off the desk. Soon, he realized something and added, "You don't have to worry, I've always kept your business confidential and haven't mentioned it to anyone. Even within the Azure Wolf Hall, no one knows about the relationship between you two."
So only Jiang Chuan knew about this. No wonder that girl Zhong Yu thought Yue Moli had come to pick a fight.
But he never expected that Yue Moli was actually the Wolf King's fiancée.
It seems this Wolf King really had some skills.
"Mm, don't reveal it in the future either," Xu Tian said, following the flow. "Did you hear me?"
"You still don't trust me?" Jiang Chuan gave him a flirtatious look. "My mouth is the tightest."
Just at this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman with curly hair wearing a long dress walked in.
After Jiang Chuan saw her, he immediately jumped off the desk.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After finishing, he gave Xu Tian a cheeky, playful smile and turned to slip out of the office.
Facing the woman who entered, Xu Tian was very calm on the surface, but in his heart, it was as if ten thousand alpacas were roaring and galloping past.
The crisis on Zhong Ling's side hadn't been resolved yet, and now a fiancée had suddenly popped up.
In front of this woman, it seemed even easier to be exposed.
He never expected that the Azure Wolf Hall's Wolf King would have ties to the Western Alliance's dark force queen, and it was even a relationship with a marriage contract.
The relationship between the Wolf King and this woman must be more intimate than with others. If he didn't grasp the scale well, it would be very easy to be exposed.
"Sit wherever you like."
Xu Tian couldn't be sure how these two interacted daily, so he only said an ambiguous sentence, waiting for the other party to start the topic.
"I came to bring you lunch." The woman smiled and placed the lunch box in her hand in front of Xu Tian.
Xu Tian looked at the lunch box in front of him, slightly stunned.
"What's wrong?" The woman's smile remained unchanged. "Didn't you love the food I made the most before? Now that you've been out and returned, have your tastes changed?"
"No." Xu Tian couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart to that Wolf King he had never met.
To be able to make the queen of the dark forces personally wash her hands and make soup, this man was not simple.
But at the same time, he couldn't eat this delicious meal with peace of mind.
Those who mix in the underworld will eventually have to pay it back.
If the Wolf King finds out later that he not only impersonated him but also ate his wife's loving lunch, he's afraid he'll be torn to pieces and hunted down all over the world.
"Then eat quickly. You must be very busy these two days, right? I'll leave after you finish eating; I won't disturb your work."
Xu Tian immediately stuffed a chicken nugget into his mouth to hide his stunned expression.
This was the legendary ruthless dark queen?
In front of the Wolf King, she was simply a gentle and virtuous wife.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Yue Moli's eyes curved into crescents. "I haven't made it for a long time; my skills are a bit rusty."
"Not rusty at all, the taste is very good." Xu Tian silently lowered his head to eat.
He tried his best not to give himself time to stop and chat.
"It seems you really are hungry." Yue Moli got up and went to the water dispenser, pouring a glass of water for Xu Tian. "Eat slowly, your stomach isn't good."
"Oh." Xu Tian made another note in his heart: The Wolf King's stomach isn't good, and he likes to eat food made by his fiancée.
"You actually finished all the carrots?" Yue Moli said in surprise. "Didn't you hate carrots the most?"
"Cough... cough, cough, cough..." Xu Tian was almost choked to death by the last piece of carrot in his mouth.
None of the women around the Wolf King were easy to deal with.
No wonder Yue Moli was so virtuous and considerate, sending a bento as soon as he returned to work. So that's where she was waiting for him.
"I'm not a picky eater now." Xu Tian said vaguely. "When you're out and about, you don't have those requirements."
Yue Moli didn't say anything else this time, but Xu Tian could feel the other party's gaze always on him.
This lunch felt like needles on his back; he even doubted if he would get indigestion.
After finishing the meal, Yue Moli packed up the lunch box and then waved at Xu Tian.
"Are you planning to chat with me while sitting in the boss's chair?"
"I still have work." Xu Tian's eyelids twitched.
A man and a woman alone in the office, what else did she want him to do?
He wasn't the real Wolf King, so he couldn't treat Yue Moli as his fiancée.
Furthermore, he was a man with a wife; he couldn't lose his bottom line.
"Why are you so nervous?" Yue Moli smiled again.
If he hadn't already known her identity, Xu Tian really couldn't connect her to the queen of the Western Alliance's dark forces.
"We haven't seen each other for too long; don't you miss me at all?"
"That's not it." One life-threatening question after another made it impossible for Xu Tian to answer.
He didn't know the interaction mode between the Wolf King and Yue Moli at all.
Normally, answering "I miss you" wouldn't be a problem, but what if the Wolf King was a man who wasn't good at expressing himself and never said sweet nothings to his fiancée? Then wouldn't he be exposed if he answered like that?
"Forget it, then I'll change the topic." Yue Moli's expression didn't change, and Xu Tian couldn't judge if his answer just now had revealed any flaws.
"Where have you been during the time you were away?"
Xu Tian:...
This woman's questions were really more fatal than the last.
"Ran into some trouble." Xu Tian tried his best to make his tone sound light and breezy. "But it's all been resolved." ===== CHAPTER 691 =====
