Psst! We're moving!
Although Chi Suisui asked a question, her tone was declarative.
Her fingertip was still hooked on He Xingwang’s collar, with no intention of letting go, against the backdrop of the pitch-black night.
“Let go,” He Xingwang said in a deep voice.
“Answer me first,” Chi Suisui said, not yielding in the slightest. She had always been like this.
“Suisui.”
Chi Suisui was not very satisfied, and just as she was about to speak.
The man who had leaned closer looked at her delicate and cold eyebrows and eyes, his eyelids slightly lowered, and slowly opened his mouth: “Fiancée.”
It was barely an answer.
Chi Suisui hadn’t expected him to suddenly say “girlfriend.” After all, for arranged marriages in wealthy families, fiancés and spouses were the most common terms.
But she had kissed him.
The scent of grass and trees after the rain drifted in the air.
Chi Suisui withdrew her hand, even thoughtfully straightening his collar, and raised the corner of her eye. “Consider it a correct answer, but it’s still a little off.”
Her eyes were exceptionally beautiful.
He Xingwang’s gaze traced her outline, his eyes as dark as ink, his emotions unclear, his lips stained with her lipstick from their previous action.
Chi Suisui’s lips, on the other hand, were a little lighter.
He pondered for a moment, thinking about what answer would be more accurate.
“Do you want the box?” Chi Suisui took out the carefully prepared gift box from young master Liang from the side. “If not, then forget it.”
“No need.”
He Xingwang lightly tossed the paper in his hand into the car, where it landed steadily on top of the gift box.
“Going in?” he asked.
Chi Suisui glanced at the Shooting Sports Center not far away, feeling a bit tempted. “Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to go in at night?”
He Xingwang replied indifferently, “There aren’t many people at night.”
Chi Suisui thought for a moment. “Okay.”
He had been a shooter for so many years, but she had never been inside the innermost part. Even during her last interview, she had only visited some of the surface areas.
He Xingwang held out his hand.
Chi Suisui took his hand and stepped down, lifting her skirt with her other hand. When she was about to pull her hand back, she found it was directly grasped by him.
She simply let him.
After all, they had already kissed.
The Shooting Sports Center was relatively quiet at night. Most training was during the day, with only occasional diligent individuals practicing in the evening.
As they entered through the main gate, the guards couldn’t help but take another look.
This was God He!
Because it was just the two of them, Chi Suisui had a very strange feeling.
She vaguely remembered her childhood.
Speaking of which, she and He Xingwang had known each other for a long time, even childhood sweethearts in a way, but back then she had a proud temper and he was cold, so they didn’t actually talk much.
She only found out about their arranged marriage after she came of age.
There were quite a few women in Nancheng’s high society who liked He Xingwang, and there were even some ambitious socialites who wanted to get close to him by approaching Chi Suisui.
Although Chi Suisui was proud, she had a clear understanding of people.
The longest time she had spent alone with He Xingwang should have been at the birthday banquet of a highly respected old lady.
Chi Suisui was in a inexplicably bad mood that day, and to make matters worse, a group of young ladies surrounded her, showering her with insincere compliments that hurt her ears.
She happened to see He Xingwang, so she simply pulled him to the second floor. As a result, the two of them entered a room and accidentally got locked inside.
It was probably a guest room.
There weren’t many things inside, mostly some collectibles. They didn’t have their phones with them, so Chi Suisui watched He Xingwang reading a book.
She seemed to have fallen asleep in the end.
When she woke up, she had already left that place. He Xingwang was sitting in the car, and she was lying on his lap, his hand under her head as a pillow.
Chi Suisui still didn’t know what happened in the end.
A few minutes later, they reached the door.
Chi Suisui came back to her senses, her peripheral vision sweeping across He Xingwang’s face, stopping at his lips stained with rouge.
“Wait.”
He Xingwang turned his head. “What’s wrong?”
“Are you going inside with that on your lips?” Chi Suisui said casually, taking out a tissue from her bag. “Wipe it off.”
He Xingwang stood there, letting her do as she pleased.
“No one saw.”
“The lights inside are so bright, only a blind person wouldn’t see.”
“...”
“Okay.”
He Xingwang was already used to Chi Suisui’s tone. After all, as a reporter, she always had a way to leave people speechless.
Compared to others, he felt he was probably the lucky one.
The Shooting Sports Center had received investment from He’s Corporation before, and now the whole place was very beautiful. If one didn’t know, they would think it was some luxurious base.
“Are there any female athletes in here?” Chi Suisui asked before entering the door.
“Yes,” He Xingwang said concisely.
“Then why didn’t I see them last time?”
“They were out that time.”
After his explanation, Chi Suisui confirmed that there were both male and female athletes in the Shooting Sports Center, but their living quarters were separate.
They rarely revealed the situation inside to the outside world. Although she had been there as a reporter last time, she had only interviewed He Xingwang alone.
Li Huaiming and the others had originally been in the lobby, waiting to be the first to see who had been picked up.
But unexpectedly, halfway through their wait, the coach arrived.
“What are you all doing here? Didn’t get enough training during the day, or do you think your sleeping time is too long? Then tomorrow I’ll give you a new schedule—”
Before he could finish speaking, everyone ran away.
So when Chi Suisui and He Xingwang entered the lobby, it was quiet, and not even a shadow of a person could be seen. They went straight to his room.
Coincidentally, Li Huaiming heard footsteps and opened his door.
He only managed to take a picture of Chi Suisui’s back with his phone.
He slammed the door shut and sent a message in the group chat: 【Holy crap! I saw her! What a stunning back view!】
A row of question marks appeared below.
Su Zhi: 【Can you speak more clearly?】
Li Huaiming: 【I just saw the girl God He picked up. Judging from her back, she’s definitely beautiful. Is she God He’s girlfriend?】
Su Zhi: 【Maybe it’s his younger sister.】
Li Huaiming was unwilling to give up: 【A close younger sister is still a younger sister.】
Su Zhi: 【?】
The group chat started discussing whether she was his younger sister or girlfriend, finally recalling God He’s scandal on Weibo before.
They even started wondering what was going on.
Chi Suisui was wearing a dress today, different from the formal wear she wore during the interview that day, so Li Huaiming wasn’t sure if it was the same person.
News about God He bringing a girl into the Shooting Sports Center spread rapidly.
Not long after, the girls’ side also found out.
“They said God He brought a girl over,” a short-haired girl sat up from her bed. “Is it true?”
“Is he really dating?”
“That rumored marriage partner?”
They had all entered at the same time, so their relationship was relatively good, and they knew all about the previous events.
God He had a good family background and was good-looking. Not to mention the star-chasing girls outside who could see celebrities online every day, the female athletes in the Shooting Sports Center were all amazed.
Plus, he had always kept his distance from women.
They would always be moved.
However, the first female athlete who confessed was directly rejected. He Xingwang said he already had a marriage partner.
The second one didn’t believe it and even wanted to cook rice before the pot boiled in his room. He Xingwang didn’t even look at her and directly changed rooms.
From then on, that room was used as a storage room.
After all, it was He’s Corporation’s investment, so He Xingwang could ask for anything regarding his living arrangements, and the higher-ups wouldn’t interfere.
“Coming over so late,” another girl curled her lip. “Doesn’t she know this is the Shooting Sports Center? Does she even want to stay overnight?”
“God He’s status is what it is, an arranged marriage with a wealthy family,” the person beside her said softly. “There aren’t that many real white swans.”
“Then she can’t be ugly, right? Look at how many rich people find female celebrities to marry, which shows they still care about looks.”
“They are well-matched in terms of social standing,” the girl from the beginning rolled her eyes. “How do you know she looks ordinary? Besides, it’s not your place to object.”
“We didn’t say anything bad.”
A blurry photo happened to pop up in the group chat.
Once opened, a shapely back view was displayed on the screen, straight shoulders, tall figure, slender waist, and stunningly sexy butterfly bones.
Just based on this back view, she could kill.
The few people who had been whispering suddenly fell silent.
Other people’s discussions naturally couldn’t reach Chi Suisui’s ears.
He Xingwang’s room wasn’t small, but the layout looked like a single room, and the style was quite minimalist and cold, very much in line with his own style.
This made Chi Suisui think of his room in the Bai’an Mansion.
“There are no guns in the room?” She looked around and stopped at a dartboard, with a dart stuck right in the bullseye.
“Mm.”
He Xingwang casually pulled it down and said slowly, “Can’t bring them out, otherwise, if there’s an accident, something will happen.”
Chi Suisui nodded in understanding.
She took the dart from his hand and tried it herself. She thought it would be very simple, but she only got one ring.
“...”
Chi Suisui directly pulled the dart out and stuffed it into He Xingwang’s hand.
He Xingwang’s lips curved into a smile as he watched.
“Nothing to laugh about,” Chi Suisui put her hands behind her back, her face cold. “If I were as good as you, I could win glory for the country.”
“Yes.”
He Xingwang gave her serious support.
“...”
Chi Suisui laughed, her voice crisp. He Xingwang’s expression gave the feeling that he was saying something insincere, which she found very funny.
She simply changed the subject.
After staying inside for half an hour, Chi Suisui decided to leave. He Xingwang saw her out, and this time they didn’t run into anyone.
The driver had been waiting outside.
After Chi Suisui got into the car, she suddenly lowered the window, rested her chin on the sill, and looked up at the man’s tall figure. “One more thing.”
He Xingwang raised an eyebrow. “You say.”
“The engagement banquet hasn’t been held yet, so ‘fiancée’ isn’t exactly correct,” Chi Suisui smiled slightly—
“Remember, next time say ‘girlfriend’.”
After saying that, she closed the car window. The night was too dark, and from inside, she could only see the outline of He Xingwang’s figure.
It wasn’t until the car disappeared that He Xingwang returned to the Shooting Sports Center.
Back at the Bai’an Mansion, Chi Suisui finally opened her phone.
There were many unread messages, mostly asking if she was the one who had spent a fortune to buy a small island at the auction today.
There were also messages from her parents.
Qi Xincheng: 【Why did you suddenly buy a small island?】
Chi Suisui replied to her own father first: 【It’s a gift.】
After she finished replying to her sisters’ messages, Qi Xincheng’s reply also came: 【?? For whom??】
Chi Suisui: 【Who else could it be.】
Qi Xincheng: 【Okay...】
A string of ellipses followed. Chi Suisui couldn’t help but laugh: 【That small island will be mine in the future anyway, so it doesn’t matter.】
Qi Xincheng: 【My daughter is absolutely right.】
Chi Suisui didn’t use He Xingwang’s card entirely for this small island; they split it half and half. She had already received the bills.
Doctor Song rested at night and sent a congratulatory message from her bed.
She didn’t forget to sigh: “Luckily it’s you, Suisui. If someone else had bought it, I can already imagine the scene in the future.”
Chi Suisui: 【What scene?】
Song Miaoli sent a voice message: “You know the people in our circle, their tails would be pointing to the sky. They’d probably say: ‘Oh my god! This is the island I spent a hundred million to buy, and you actually want to go on it?’“
She imitated the arrogant tone perfectly.
“But since it’s yours, can I go on it for free?”
Chi Suisui’s fingertip moved: 【It already belongs to He Xingwang.】
Song Miaoli replied quickly: 【That’s too formal. You’re getting married soon, his is yours, and yours is still yours, Island Owner Sui.】
The last three characters made Chi Suisui laugh uncontrollably.
【You reminded me.】
Song Miaoli expressed incomprehension.
New Island Owner Chi Suisui sent a message: 【It can be developed into a tourist island with a sign: Ten thousand per step. This way, getting the investment back is just around the corner.】
Song Miaoli: 【?】
With this step, the ship of friendship capsized.
After teasing Doctor Song, Chi Suisui had a good night’s sleep.
The next morning, she went to the TV station in high spirits. Her first thought upon stepping into the building was He Xingwang’s words “too late” from before.
As for the sign, Island Owner Sui said it was a joke.
Monday morning was actually a bit busy.
After all, they hadn’t worked on Sunday, so the backlog of news had to be dealt with today, and it might be used for the noon and evening news.
Of course, this was the responsibility of the senior staff.
“Chief Chi, Zhang Yueran seems to be coming back to work soon,” Su Mian said while typing. “We’ll see her again.”
“She might not want to see us either,” Chi Suisui curled her lips, hinting at something. “Don’t worry.”
“You’re right,” Su Mian couldn’t help but laugh.
Around noon, Chi Suisui went to the pantry to get water.
Two interns were standing inside talking. The discussion stopped abruptly, and they said obediently, “Chief Chi.”
They used the same address as Su Mian.
Chi Suisui nodded.
Halfway through filling her glass, she felt something was off.
The two interns didn’t dare to breathe loudly. Chi Suisui always felt like they were sizing her up, but without malice.
But when she looked over, they turned their gazes away.
Chi Suisui pressed her lips together, holding her water cup and walking out of the pantry, but she suddenly stopped in the last step and turned around.
The two interns were caught red-handed peeking.
“Speak, what’s the matter?” Chi Suisui raised her chin slightly and said unhurriedly, “It can’t be just because I look too good today.”
The two interns exchanged glances.
Good-looking was definitely an understatement.
“We saw a popular post on a forum today, and it happened to mention Chief Chi. We weren’t sure if we should say what it was about.”
