My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 625 - 618: Knocking at Midnight
Chapter 625: Chapter 618: Knocking at Midnight
Su Xuan had just gotten into the car, ready to head to Mount Everest on his own, when unexpectedly, Qiuyue was already in the car. She looked at Su Xuan’s baffled expression and coolly said, "What, planning to go on a solo adventure without me?"
Su Xuan shook his head and explained, "What do you mean ’go on a solo adventure’? I’m doing this for your safety. I’ll definitely bring back the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus for you to eat. You have to trust my character!"
"I don’t care. I’m going to follow you anyway. I can’t rest easy if you go alone!"
When Qiuyue was stubborn, Su Xuan had no solutions.
"What about Shuangshuang? I’m even more worried if no one is there to protect her."
Expressing his concerns, Su Xuan said if Tianbao from the Song Family caught Shuangshuang, he would definitely force her into marriage. Su Xuan didn’t want to see someone walk into the grave of marriage. Keeping Shuangshuang from going back was for her happiness.
Thump, thump, thump!
Su Xuan and Qiuyue were sitting in the car when suddenly someone knocked on the car body. Su Xuan wondered who it could be, knocking on the car so early in the morning.
Turning his head, Su Xuan was stunned again. There was Shuangshuang, wearing a fluffy, rabbit-eared hat and carrying a backpack stuffed full. She appeared to be ready for something...
Su Xuan, puzzled, said, "Shuangshuang, why are you up so early? It’s still early, you should go back to sleep."
Shuangshuang ignored Su Xuan and directly opened the rear car door and sat down, mischievously saying, "Brother Xuan, I heard your conversation with Sister Qiuyue last night. I know you are going to look for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. I’ve lived on Mount Everest for years and know more about the habits of the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, so I must go with you!"
It was surprising enough that Shuangshuang showed up, but then she said she wanted to go with them.
The conditions on Mount Everest were harsh, with constant snowstorms and ice caves everywhere. One wrong step could lead you into an ice hole hundreds of meters deep, with no hope of return. The harshness of the conditions was not meant for everyone to endure.
"Shuangshuang, don’t be silly, we are not going there for fun. We have important things to do, otherwise, Sister Qiuyue, Miss Li Yuanyuan, and I could all be in danger," Su Xuan tried to persuade until he was hoarse, but Shuangshuang was unmoved.
"I’m going to help you, not mess things up."
Shuangshuang was still holding onto her opinion, seemingly as stubborn as Qiuyue. Women are indeed troublesome.
"Maybe, we should just let her come along."
Qiuyue said to Su Xuan, if Shuangshuang tagged along, Qiuyue wouldn’t need to stay behind to protect her. Su Xuan saw right through this little scheme.
"Absolutely not. Aside from the harsh weather on Mount Everest, if Song Tianbao finds out we’re going, he might interfere even more. If we bring Shuangshuang and Tianbao kidnaps her, all our previous efforts would be wasted. Besides, staying here is better than going anywhere. This place is Li Yuanyuan’s faculty apartment, and ordinary people wouldn’t suspect this location."
"I still want to go. If you don’t let me, I’ll tell Miss Li Yuanyuan that she only has a week to live." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Shuangshuang glared with wide eyes, threatening. Su Xuan was instantly headache-stricken, never expecting Shuangshuang to threaten someone, as he had previously told Li Yuanyuan she was cured. He wanted to find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus within a week and give it to her to eat, so she wouldn’t panic, as a positive and upbeat mindset naturally resists illnesses.
"I think we should let her come," Qiuyue added fuel to the fire, not wanting to stay behind to look after and protect Shuangshuang. She too wanted to go, and if Shuangshuang were going, Su Xuan had no reason to stop Qiuyue from joining them to Mount Everest.
It felt like Su Xuan’s back was burdened by tens of thousands of kilos, he paused for a moment and then said weakly, "Alright, since you’re coming, you have to listen to me."
"Great, I will listen to whatever you say!"
Shuangshuang was too excited, probably because she had never had anywhere to play in the Song mansion on Mount Everest. Now, she wanted to try anything that seemed novel.
Smack!
Shuangshuang happily kissed Su Xuan on the face. The kiss was cool and fragrant, sending a shiver through Su Xuan’s body.
"Cough cough, mind your image."
Seeing Su Xuan’s strong reaction, Qiuyue reminded him.
Shuangshuang, however, was quite uninhibited, exclaiming excitedly, "Brother Xuan, you promised to take me there, don’t cheat me."
Su Xuan was too lazy to deal with her and instead started the car. The car roared and sped off, heading crazily toward Mount Everest.
Sure enough, all along the way, Shuangshuang was very lively, chattering like a little sparrow, recounting everything she had seen and heard in Qiutian City. She had never left the Song mansion on Mount Everest before, so seeing the outside world now, it would be strange if she wasn’t excited.
Shuangshuang became the happy pill in the car, making everyone laugh. Time passed quickly, and before long, they arrived at a small village at the base of Mount Everest.
The village chief, seeing Su Xuan again, was very enthusiastic. The last time Su Xuan and Qiuyue came, they pretended to be inspecting for heritage protection which completely bamboozled the village chief. He truly believed Su Xuan was sent by higher authorities for inspection, so he treated Su Xuan with great respect.
Of course, the fact that Su Xuan had given him over a hundred thousand yuan as a road fee also played a huge role. The village chief couldn’t stop smiling whenever he thought of that last visit.
"Old Village Chief, we are here to disturb you again," Su Xuan said politely.
"Not at all, not at all. You serve the people; we serve you. It’s all as it should be."
The Old Village Chief let three people into the room, which was warm inside. Now that they had arrived at the base of Mount Everest, they could feel the deep chill of the mountain. The house had a stove burning all year round and was carpeted with furry rugs.
At this point, it was already evening, and Su Xuan had been delayed on the road for almost a day.
Su Xuan’s group and Li Tianming’s group had just split off because Song Tianbao had a gulfstream plane. Their people naturally wouldn’t walk through the mountain passes and villages, and for Su Xuan, this place embodied the saying, "The most dangerous place is the safest."
It was now nighttime, and any ascent up the mountain had to wait until morning. The conditions on Mount Everest at night were unclear, and encountering snow caves would be problematic.
"We’ll set off in the morning."
Su Xuan said to Qiuyue.
Since there were three people this time, the village chief had prepared two rooms. Previously, as Su Xuan and Qiuyue came together, the Old Village Chief assumed they were a couple and thus placed two quilts in Su Xuan’s room.
Obviously, Su Xuan couldn’t sleep with Qiuyue again. The last time they spent the night at Song Mansion’s doorway on Mount Everest, there had been only one sleeping bag, which led them to accidentally spark some emotions. Now, Su Xuan didn’t want to leave Song Shuangshuang alone in the next room.
"Here, this is your quilt."
Su Xuan, holding the quilt, delivered it to the next room. Qiuyue, without uttering a word, took it and threw it onto the bed, clearly displeased—a sentiment only Su Xuan could decipher.
"Brother Xuan, goodnight!"
Song Shuangshuang was exceptionally excited about this outing. Previously, when she was in Song Mansion at Mount Everest, her outings were as simple as fishing with the old butler. Now, following Su Xuan and Qiuyue everywhere, she was so delighted that she was extremely tired and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.
At night, the bright moonlight shone through the thin window, landing on Qiuyue’s face. She turned over, opened her eyes, and seeing Song Shuangshuang’s quilt had slipped off, she covered her up again. Song Shuangshuang was such a cute little girl that nobody could dislike her.
Qiuyue put on her clothes, picked up her quilt, and tiptoed to the door. The cold wind that came in made her shiver.
Click!
After all, Qiuyue was an Assassin. Su Xuan’s room door was bolted from the inside, but for someone with her background, a traditional bolt lock was as good as unlocked.
Qiuyue entered Su Xuan’s room without effort. The moon was so bright, it illuminated half the room.
Seeing Su Xuan motionless in bed, a smile revealed on her face. She placed the quilt down, then removed the clothes that draped over her, exposing her ripe, curvaceous body.
"So late at night, aren’t you sleepy?"
The stillness of the room was suddenly broken by a voice, startling Qiuyue.
Su Xuan turned over, too lazy to open his eyes, and spoke.
When Qiuyue realized it was Su Xuan speaking, her heart leaped with joy. He had been waiting for her!
Ever since their last wild night outside Song Mansion’s gate, Qiuyue’s desires had been fully awakened. At her age, her desires were fierce, and Su Xuan’s skills had sent her soaring several times during their last encounter.
"Did you know I would come? You’re really naughty!"
Qiuyue said with feigned shyness.
"I hadn’t expected you to come; I’m just generally alert."
"I don’t care; I’m staying with you tonight, regardless."
Since she was already here and it was night, the howling cold wind outside meant even if they made a bit of noise, it was unlikely to be heard. Qiuyue felt liberated, wearing only a thin layer of turquoise lingerie, as she walked step by step towards Su Xuan.
"Hey, calm down. We should save some energy for the climb tomorrow."
Su Xuan’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Qiuyue’s heart. But Qiuyue, still hopeful, weakly said, "Can’t I do it myself?"
Su Xuan shook his head. He was in his prime and certainly not indifferent to the idea, but with important matters awaiting them tomorrow, conserving energy might help them endure longer during critical moments on Mount Everest.
Qiuyue wasn’t the type to impose herself indecently. She had her dignity, and this kind of situation wouldn’t be forced on Su Xuan, especially if he wasn’t cooperative.
Since she was already here and Su Xuan wasn’t cooperating, Qiuyue set down her quilt without planning to leave. Instead, she lay down next to him, each under their own quilt, without interfering with the other.
Possibly still miffed, Qiuyue said to Su Xuan, "There’s not a single good man among you!"
After hearing this, Su Xuan smiled and stayed silent, knowing well that men who understand always know one thing: arguing with a woman is a losing battle.
Eventually, it was morning. Su Xuan got up early, and Qiuyue also woke up, quickly getting dressed. It’s undeniable that Qiuyue’s body was very seductive, and Su Xuan was incredibly fond of her, but now was not the time for that fondness, because he had more important things to do.
