Chapter 443
dim light. Chen Xieru wasn't there. Tang Shuweng thought that she must have been keeping company with Xiao Nian, and he smiled slightly before heading to the bathroom for a shower. Only then did he go...Chapter 443
Zhuque's leg was crippled, which was within Wu Shuang's expectations. If everything turned out to be a conspiracy by Mo Yao and Kaka as she guessed, they would go all the way without leaving any room for recovery; even Fang Jiachi’s medical skills were incapable of fully restoring Zhuque’s leg.
Mo Yao, the mastermind behind it, showed no remorse, acting as if none of this had anything to do with him. Wu Shuang questioned Zhuque and then asked Fang Jiachi, who appeared fine but only said that he felt unwell and fainted due to exhaustion. Chu Chu seemed like she wanted to say something but ended up saying nothing in the end.
Moxiaobai was completely indifferent to everything happening around them and only focused on playing with Chu Chu. The little girl complained, "I thought I could spend more time with you guys here, but it turns out that we’re leaving so soon."
She felt a bit reluctant about the departure, not knowing when they would meet again.
Moxiaobai teased her and said, "Cute one, come with Xiaobai Brother to America. Next week there’s a fashion show going on, and I need a female companion."
Chu Chu rolled her eyes and didn’t believe his words at all, saying, "Xiaobai Brother, who are you trying to fool Someone like you would have any trouble finding a companion I don’t want to be your female companion, no, I don’t want you as my male companion."
The little girl proudly showed her disdain for Moxiaobai; Moxiaobai chased after her while she laughed and dodged. Accidentally seeing Wu Shuang arguing with Long Chengtian in the corner made Chu Chu feel gloomy; in Little Chu Chu’s mind, Wu Shuang should stay by her brother's side.
She remembered a small incident earlier: After listening to Qinglong mention what happened between Kaka and Wu Shuang in the garden, she went to look for Kaka. However, she saw her brother uncomfortably clutching his chest lying on the sofa, which scared Chu Chu so much that she jumped. She thought he was sick and wanted to call a doctor, but he sat up as if nothing had happened. Chu Chu didn’t know whether or not he felt unwell, but everything seemed normal.
She couldn't help but ask her brother about his relationship with Wu Shuang, and he said it was completely over.
She felt angry and casually mentioned that this time, Wu Shuang came to London because she heard the news of him marrying Fang Jiaqi. However, her brother didn’t seem to have any reaction at all; his expression remained indifferent.
Chu Chu always found it strange. Her brother wasn't an emotionally cold person, and he clearly had feelings for Sister Wu Shuang; yet, why was he so ruthless in rejecting her She just couldn’t understand.
Even when hearing such news, he showed no reaction. Sometimes she wondered what could possibly make him change his expression. It was rare to see him lose his temper since childhood. Everyone said Ye Ningyuan had a good temper and hardly ever got angry for years. But her brother seemed to have even better endurance and patience. Chu Chu could count on one hand the times she saw Kaka get upset; most of the time, he would take everything in stride.
He took life calmly, faced provocations calmly, handled setbacks calmly, and also remained indifferent when it came to pursuing or rejecting emotions he desired or didn’t desire.
She knew her brother was hiding some things from her. Wu Shuang and Kaka weren't close enough to notice many details, but Chu Chu was different—she was his own flesh-and-blood sister, so she would pick up on any unusual behavior of his.
But she didn’t know what exactly he was hiding from her. Every time there seemed to be a hint of something, it just felt improbable.
Chu Chu knew that if this time Sister Wu Shuang really left, the chances for her brother to pursue her again in the future would be close to zero. They truly wouldn't have another chance. Such an arrogant Sister Wu Shuang had already given him two opportunities; there wouldn’t be a third.
If she was truly going to give up hope, what would become of her brother then
There's a saying, "When the emperor isn't anxious, eunuchs die of worry," which seems to describe this situation. Her brother and Sister Wu Shuang don’t seem worried; there’s no argument or falling out, just a calm separation. Chu Chu is really anxious and wants to find an excuse to keep Wu Shuang around, not wanting her to leave with Ghost Face or Dragon Chengtian. In Little Chu Chu's eyes, these two are threats to her brother.
But she also clearly knows that even if her brother asks personally now, it’s unlikely he can keep Wu Shuang here.
Dragon Chengtian left the first terrorist organization before anyone else; originally, he came over to pick up Wu Shuang, but she insists on not going to Russia. Ghost Face has something to do and Wu Shuang will go with him to the Philippines until the matter is resolved.
Dragon Chengtian isn’t someone who’s easy-going when angry; in a fit of rage, he stomped off.
Wu Shuang doesn't mind; it's perfectly normal for Dragon Chengtian to throw a tantrum. Once assured that she is fine, there’s nothing more for him to worry about. The moment he left, both Mo Yao and Xiao Bai sighed in relief, just as they had hoped for. Dragon Chengtian didn’t want to stay here and get roasted by Xiao Bai either; he decided to leave.
Chou Muhuan invited Mo Xiaobai, Mo Yao, Wu Shuang, and Ghost Face to have a drink together. The plane landed on the first terrorist organization’s airstrip in the evening. There was no rush since they still had time to hang around together; Chou Muhuan didn’t really have any objections about this matter. He and Kaka both understood what happened with Zhuque, while Mo Yao needed no explanation—these people did need a reminder of their place or else they’d think highly of themselves. Although he valued Zhuque’s abilities and intelligence, in the first terrorist organization, these weren’t rare commodities; give him two years, and he could still cultivate someone like Zhuque.
It's not as if it has to be her, this matter is a major concern for Fang Jiachi, but it concerns Kaka now and isn’t their business anymore.
Kaka’s relationship with Wu Shuang, Chou Muhuan had heard about from Chu Chu. They were drinking coffee at the first terrorist organization’s café and didn't see Kaka; Chu Chu said her brother was in his study discussing matters with Europe’s intelligence agency and wouldn’t be able to come.
Everyone sees this as just an excuse for Kaka to avoid Wu Shuang. He's right here in the terrorist organization—what urgent matter could possibly need him personally Kaka might have considered it awkward to meet up with Wu Shuang, so he avoided her.
No worries about the Unparalleled, drinking coffee with her and discussing Philippine matters with Mask.
Zhou Muhan and Ink Xiaobai were having a delightful conversation; there are many topics for men to discuss.
Ink Yao had something to attend to midway through and left.
Kaka was alone in the living room putting together a puzzle, not handling any official business. When Ink Yao entered, he saw Kaka sitting on the floor of the living room, engrossed in putting together the puzzle. He loved assembling such complex puzzles, supposedly to exercise his patience. However, Ink Yao felt that Kaka hardly needed to exercise his patience; his endurance and composure were unparalleled.
Upon seeing Ink Yao enter, Kaka slightly raised his gaze, "Leaving tonight"
"I thought you didn't know," replied Ink Yao with a cold smile.
Kaka said nothing, focusing solely on the puzzle. The one he was working on was already half-done and depicted a red rose against a backdrop of blue sky and white clouds.
"There's something I've never quite understood. Why do you refuse Unparalleled twice"y. As a protector of the nation, how could Hongyu stand by Now that the border is in urgent need of troops, if Tong Pass falls to the Jin cavalry, they will ride straight towards the capital with unim...
