Just when Xu Xiangbei felt he had been struck by Cupid’s arrow, irresistibly wanting to embrace and kiss this wild girl.
Suddenly, a bright sharp knife appeared in Wind Chi’s snow-white delicate hand, startling him into halting.
The sharp knife lightly pressed against his chest through the thin shirt, Xu Xiangbei could feel the prickling pain of the knife tip piercing into his skin.
"To die under the peony blossom, even as a ghost, is a romantic affair," facing the sharp knife, Xu Xiangbei not only didn’t retreat, but walked towards Wind Chi with a cheeky grin.
Strangely enough, the sharp knife didn’t stab into his chest; instead, it retracted automatically into the hilt. It was a prop used for performing magic tricks.
Wind Chi laughed and backed away: "Every ti I put the knife to their chests, they’re scared to death, thinking they’ve encountered a female bandit, and no one dares to take a step further. Aren’t you afraid this is a real knife? Don’t you value your life?"
Xu Xiangbei snatched the magic prop from Wind Chi’s hand, toying with the knife, and smiled, "I wasn’t looking at the knife, but only at your eyes. Your beautiful, gentle eyes told you wouldn’t want to kill ."
A blush brushed across Wind Chi’s face, like the evening sunset on the horizon: "You’re too bold. We’ve just t and can’t even rember each other’s nas, yet you trust so?"
Xu Xiangbei’s lips curved slightly upward: "It’s not that I trust you, but I trust in love. My na is Xu Xiangbei. Now you know my na, right?"
Wind Chi giggled, amused by Xu Xiangbei: "There’s no love between us."
Xu Xiangbei mimicked Wind Chi’s dance steps, lightly circling around her, his strong arms gently wrapped around her soft body, his lips tenderly touching her small, warm, and rosy lips.
Wind Chi’s body trembled slightly, intending to push Xu Xiangbei away, but in that mont of passionate kissing, she hesitated, her hands pressing against Xu Xiangbei’s broad chest gently retracting, her beautiful long false eyelashes slowly closing.
Outside, lodic electric guitar music played, like a gentle breeze wrapping around them, causing them to forget themselves, imrsed in a mont of beautiful embrace and kiss.
Still, Wind Chi rationally pushed Xu Xiangbei away, her face no longer carrying the wild and alluring expression, but rather holding a touch of lancholy and shyness, making her even more endearing.
She gently lowered her long, black false eyelashes and said softly: "You’ve had your advantage, aren’t you leaving yet?"
Recalling the warmth of her lips and her alluring perfu scent, Xu Xiangbei grinned mischievously: "I still want to take things further."
Wind Chi feigned anger, but her eyes were full of joy: "Scoundrel, shaless."
The door opened, revealing Wind Valley’s bloodless face at the entrance, coldly watching his sister and Xu Xiangbei.
With his back to the door, Xu Xiangbei realized soone had entered, so he pretended to take out a business card from his pocket, handing it to Wind Chi.
"Miss Wind Chi, I’d like to invite your band to perform at our company. We’re celebrating our 20th anniversary, and I want to make it grand. I wonder if you’re willing to perform at our company. The paynt for the performance will be generous?"
Wind Chi’s black eyes swept across Xu Xiangbei’s, and she smiled faintly: "I can’t decide on this matter. You have to ask my brother, he’s right behind you."
Shan Mingzhi, still wrapped in the joy of embracing Wind Chi, grinned and waved at her: "Miss Wind Chi, if you co to our company, I’ll take you to my office kitchen. I make the best chocolate cookies. I’ll treat you then."
Wind Chi smiled politely: "Thank you for inviting for chocolate cookies, but for the sake of your health, you should eat fewer high-calorie snacks."
In Wind Valley’s office.
Xu Xiangbei sat facing Wind Valley, with Wind Chi standing behind her brother, gazing charmingly at Xu Xiangbei.
Xu Xiangbei got straight to the point: "Hello Mr. Feng... My offer is slightly above the market price, this is all transparent."
Wind Valley reclined on the sofa, a beautifully patterned tea table in front of him, holding a bottle of splendid red wine.
He poured a glass for Xu Xiangbei, staring at him calmly yet excitedly, like a vampire greedy for blood, ready to pounce at any mont to suck a mouthful of blood.
"We often perform at so comrcial events, like company openings, celebrations, and whatnot. President Xu’s offer is reasonable, and we’re willing to perform for you..."
Wind Valley smiled, extending his hand, and Xu Xiangbei shook it, feeling his hand cold and hard like a dry bone.
"Since Wind Valley has no objections, on Saturday evening, we’ll start the company celebration. Discuss the details with my secretary, this is my secretary Monica."
Monica, who followed behind Xu Xiangbei, took the initiative to hand her business card to Wind Valley.
Wind Valley, his bony and pale fingers taking Monica’s business card, had a strange smile appear on his face: "I wish us a pleasant collaboration."
As Xu Xiangbei left Mr. Feng’s office, he gave Wind Chi a slight smile on his way out, her graceful face blushed lightly, and her smile beca even more enchanting.
Listening to Xu Xiangbei’s footsteps fading away, Wind Valley’s face darkened to the point that it could drip water: "Wind Chi, why didn’t you make a move just now? And why were you throwing coquettish glances at him?"
Wind Chi, still savoring Xu Xiangbei’s passionate kiss, had a sweet smile frozen on her face, with a flicker of fear in her eyes: "Brother, even your hypnosis had no effect on him, how could I dare to act rashly? He’s ranked fifth on Sword Palace’s Black Sword Ranking. I won’t act unless I’m absolutely sure."
Wind Valley nodded, believing his sister’s explanation: "I hope what you said is true, that out of caution you didn’t make a move, not because you’ve fallen for him and can’t bear to kill him."
Hearing her brother say this, the fear in Wind Chi’s eyes deepened. She awkwardly let out a cold laugh twice: "How could that be? He’s our Sword Palace’s fifth target. Becoming a target of Sword Palace is akin to being a dead man. How could I fall for a dead man? Brother, besides, we don’t have to rush in killing him. In a couple of days, we’re attending their company’s celebration. We could make our move that day, wouldn’t that be more aningful?"
Wind Valley gave his sister a cold glance, his mouth curling into a smug sneer: "I’m glad you think this way. This kid is too peculiar, managing to wake up from my hypnosis. Otherwise, he would’ve died in that closet, and we could have completed the task earlier and left here. Maybe, you won’t have to make a move, because I, your brother, have long deployed the ultimate move. Co and sit down, let’s have a drink."
Wind Chi’s face turned even paler than her brother Wind Valley’s: "Brother, when did you deploy the ultimate move? How co I didn’t know?"
"You’ll know the answer shortly."
