Chapter 1224 - Pampering Her (2/2)

“You have to be so good to me for the rest of our lives.”

“Hm, I’ll be good to you not only in this life, but in our next and following lives as well.”

Xia Yanran’s heart felt sweet like honey.

“Xiao Yi, do you know you’re very naughty?”

“Hm?”

“You made it harder and harder for me to leave you.”

“Then don’t leave me.”

Xia Yanran looked up at him, unable to resist the urge to hug his neck, pressing her lips against his.

…

Cen Xi had that dream again.

She startled awake, opening her eyes to look at the dark starry sky outside. She touched the scabbed wound on her earlobe, panting out loud.

She felt that she had been possessed.

That man was dangerous, domineering and unreasonable… Although he saved her before, he was still bad enough. Why was she always thinking of him?!

Did she have s.a.d.i.s.tic tendencies?

However, that man probably couldn’t torture her either. He couldn’t seem to get aroused at all.

Cen Xi caressed her long hair. It was only four in the morning, so she turned around and forced herself to continue sleeping.

The phone she placed under her pillow vibrated.

Cen Xi took out her phone, glancing at it. Someone had sent her a message. [Let’s meet at the old place.]

…

Cen Xi changed into an exercise outfit earlier in the morning, before she jogged to a cooling hut at the park. It was still early, so there were barely anyone in the park.

“Uncle Bai, it’s been a long time.”

The person who asked Cen Xi to meet was called Bai Wei. When Cen Xi’s adoptive parents were still alive, she would see him often.

Cen Xi’s father was a master at the crossbow. Whenever Bai Wei got into trouble, he would get her adoptive father to help.

“Xiao Xi, I know you stopped touching a crossbow after your father pa.s.sed away. However, this time, you really have to help Uncle Bai!” Bai Wei quietly told Cen Xi about the mission.

Cen Xi’s eyes constricted slightly. “Uncle Bai, I don’t shoot good people.”

“You’ve misunderstood. The target proposed it himself. He had originally gotten the trust of the head of an organization. However, something happened a while ago that caused the head to suspect him. That was why he’s put in a bad spot. Your father was the best at crossbows and I remember he said before that you were even more talented than him, and that you never made even a 0.1-centimeter mistake.

“If this incident cannot make the head stop suspecting him and trust him completely, his hard work over the past two years might have gone to waste.”

“But, Uncle Bai, it’s been a few years since I touched a crossbow…”

“There are still three days before the mission. You can work hard to practice and get yourself familiarized again.”

“Uncle Bai, can you show me that person’s photo?”

Bai Wei took out a photo, Cen Xi’s eyes constricting immediately the moment she saw who the person was.

It was Qiao Sen!
