123: Chapter 0123: Going Back to Take a Beating for You 123: Chapter 0123: Going Back to Take a Beating for You As the siren tore through the still of the night, Qiu Ruoxi stood before Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong like a child who had done wrong.
“Didn’t you say Xunhuan would be back tonight?” Qiu Shuihan asked with a livid face: “Look at the ti now, where is Xunhuan?”
“He clearly promised he would co back,” Qiu Ruoxi said in a low, mosquito-like voice, her head bowed.
At this mont, Qiu Ruoxi showed none of the presence of a powerful CEO, a strong woman; she was completely like a child who had done wrong, sowhat at a loss about how to face her parents.
Qiu Shuihan let out a heavy snort of disdain and paid no more attention to Qiu Ruoxi.
Seeing the displeasure written all over her father’s face, Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t help but curse Ye Xunhuan in her heart for the ss he’d caused.
She had made it clear to Ye Xunhuan that he was to co back tonight, and Ye Xunhuan hadn’t said otherwise.
But who would’ve thought, this bastard hadn’t co back yet, what was he trying to do?
“Ruoxi, did Xunhuan really agree to co back?”
“Mm!”
“So why hasn’t he returned at this hour?”
“Do you even need to ask?” Qiu Shuihan imdiately let out a snort: “He certainly got bullied by her again today, if she had properly asked Xunhuan, with that boy’s temperant, how could he possibly not co back?”
“Dad, I really didn’t…”
“Didn’t, fine, didn’t, then where is Xunhuan, you tell , where did Xunhuan go?”
Qiu Ruoxi was at a loss for words for a mont; if only she knew where Ye Xunhuan had gone.
At this mont, Qiu Ruoxi really wanted to say that he often used to co back in the early hours of the morning, but she didn’t dare say so, fearing her parents would jump to conclusions and interrogate her.
“I’ll leave tomorrow, tomorrow I’m out of here!” Qiu Shuihan said, standing up: “I don’t even want to stay here a minute longer!”
With those words, Qiu Shuihan headed upstairs.
Xiahou Yutong, on the other hand, sighed softly: “Ruoxi, it’s not that Mom wants to criticize you, but you really are too exasperating…”
“Mom, I really didn’t lie to you and Dad, I really did ask him to co back!”
“You asked him to co back, but could he co back?” Xiahou Yutong said emphatically: “He’s a man!”
“n have their pride, did he have any pride left yesterday?”
“You tell him to co back, and he just cos back, do you think that’s possible?” Xiahou Yutong took a deep breath and said: “If it were you, would you have co back?”
“Mom, I…”
“You shouldn’t have co back alone today, you should’ve co ho with him!”
Qiu Ruoxi bowed her head again; she truly hadn’t thought of that, nor did she consider it much.
Now that Xiahou Yutong ntioned it, Qiu Ruoxi realized indeed, how could Ye Xunhuan possibly have co back?
Just then, Xiahou Yutong took out a bottle of dicine from her purse, her hands trembling as she unscrewed the cap and poured out a few pills, slowly bringing them to her mouth.
Seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi hastily said: “Mom, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I’ll call him right away, call him and beg him to co back…”
With that, Qiu Ruoxi imdiately picked up the nearby landline, quickly dialing Ye Xunhuan’s cell phone number.
anwhile, Ye Xunhuan was at a bar called “Night Without Return,” drinking with Xiao Jiu!
“Boss, that ninja has no idea who leaked your identity to him,” Xiaojiu said with a grave expression, “He just ntioned receiving a mysterious phone call.”
“A mysterious phone call?” Ye Xunhuan’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Yes!” Xiaojiu nodded emphatically, “The caller told him that you are the Marshal and that the Taiji Seal is on you!”
“He wanted to prove himself, so he made a move on you, and he didn’t tell anyone else about your identity!”
As he spoke, Xiaojiu’s face slowly took on a solemn cast, “But… but…”
“What is it?”
“This ninja was Sato Youichi’s disciple, and not just any disciple but his most prized one.
Now that he’s dead here, I’m afraid…”
“Sato Youichi?” Ye Xunhuan’s brows furrowed slightly again.
To the average person, Sato Youichi might be just another common na from the Island Country, but both Ye Xunhuan and Xiaojiu knew all too well that this Sato Youichi was the Ninja Emperor of the Koga-ryu, only one step away from being a God Ninja, a grand protector of the Koga-ryu!
His ninjutsu was subli, and not just his ninjutsu, but his overall strength was at its pinnacle.
Moreover, Sato Youichi was known to be exceptionally ruthless and protective of his own.
Once, when soone in the underworld severely injured one of his, he led a raid that left no survivors in the offending organization.
Now that Xiaojiu had killed his disciple, if Sato Youichi ever found out…
“If he dares to co, I’ll send him to the afterlife,” Ye Xunhuan said, a sharp, cold intention of murder flashing across his face, “Also, find out who leaked my information!”
“I’ve already had people looking into it!”
Just then, Ye Xunhuan’s cell phone began to ring.
He pulled out his phone unhurriedly, habitually glancing at the caller ID.
Upon seeing it was the landline from inside the villa, the cold murderous intent on Ye Xunhuan’s face imdiately dissipated, replaced by a slow, forming smile.
“Hello…”
“Honey, where are you?
Why haven’t you co back yet?”
Qiu Ruoxi’s voice, pleasant and lodious as if from the heavens, instantly traveled through the handset into Ye Xunhuan’s ears.
“Drinking,” Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, “Is sothing the matter?”
“It’s getting late.
Hurry back,” Qiu Ruoxi said, her eyes fleetingly glancing at Xiahou Yutong.
Seeing that Xiahou Yutong was watching her, she added, “Mom and Dad are at ho, don’t stay out too late, they’ll worry about you!”
“Just tell Mom and Dad not to worry about , I’m fine,” Ye Xunhuan said calmly, “You should go to sleep early too.”
“But, Honey, I can’t sleep without you by my side,” Qiu Ruoxi cooed, “I want you to hold as I sleep!”
After uttering those words, Qiu Ruoxi felt her cheeks burn hot as if on fire.
And, seeing Qiu Ruoxi wield that secret weapon of won—the act of coquetry—Xiahou Yutong’s face slowly revealed a look of gratification.
It is well-known that coquettish won lead chard lives.
“I an, Qiu Ruoxi, can’t you speak properly?” Ye Xunhuan said, unmoved!
“Honey, will you please co back quickly?
I’m begging you…”
The whiny voice of Qiu Ruoxi echoed in Ye Xunhuan’s ear, and while he found himself distractingly stirred, he had to remain cautious.
After all, Qiu Ruoxi had played this sa trick on him yesterday!
“Qiu Ruoxi, is it because Dad wants to hit you again, and you want to co back and take the beating for you?”
