Chapter 2238 - 2242: Good Luck
Leng Zirui was a person whose courage, mind, and skills were enough to win anyone’s admiration.
"No problem, but you should be prepared. I have a big appetite," Leng Zirui joked with a smile.
"At worst, I won’t take my year-end bonus," Qiao laughed, "So, is there anything else I need to be briefed about? Don’t mind me, it’s just our standard procedure."
Anything could happen.
At such a critical moment, anything was possible.
Nobody wanted accidents, but in their line of work, wasn’t it like walking with your head tied to your waist?!
"There’s nothing else." Leng Zirui gently opened the bathroom door slightly wider, glancing at Xu Xia, who was still diligently keeping watch outside, "My only request is that if anything happens to me, you must do everything in your power to safely get Xu Xia back to Beijing."
"Xu Xia?" Qiao clumsily repeated the Chinese name.
"Yes, she’s my girlfriend," Leng Zirui turned his face slightly, looking at her profile, "The star singer of Beijing EM Records; you only need to check a little to know. She’s here now, and you can directly lock onto my phone’s location."
"Alright." Qiao solemnly agreed, "I guarantee with my life that, when the time comes, I’ll do my utmost to get her back to Beijing."
"Thank you."
"What’s there to thank? I’m just saying, I’m the kind of person who dreads tending to women, so it’s better if you handle this sort of thing yourself." Qiao teased over the phone.
Leng Zirui was a smart man and knew the other was reminding him to be careful in this way, so he laughed too, "My girl is a real beauty; I’m afraid you’ll fall for her once you see her. Anyway, I have a few things to arrange; remember my signal: if I throw away my phone, it means we’re starting. If I don’t make this move, definitely don’t take action."
"Got it. Good luck, Rui!"
Leng Zirui hung up the phone, casually shoved it into his pocket, and walked from the bathroom to the door.
Upon hearing his voice, Xu Xia immediately turned her face toward him.
"Tired?" Leng Zirui raised his hand, hugging her waist, "Go and have a good sleep."
"What about you?" Xu Xia extended her arms to embrace him back, "Are you going out?"
"Yeah, there are some things tomorrow. I need to go out and arrange them," Leng Zirui smiled and pecked her cheek lightly, cupping her face with both hands, "Stay here and wait for me. As per usual, close the curtains, don’t go near the window or the balcony, and if you’re hungry, let them buy you something. Most importantly, without my consent, don’t step out the door."
Xu Xia opened her mouth to speak.
Leng Zirui thought she was going to negotiate again and immediately pressed a finger against her lips, "Leaving the house is absolutely non-negotiable. As for other things, you can mention them, but I can’t guarantee I’ll agree."
Xu Xia glared at him, opened her mouth to bite his finger, but Leng Zirui deftly dodged. She didn’t try to attack him again, just raised her face seriously to look at him, softly saying, "Be careful."
"Got it," Leng Zirui smiled and pecked her lips lightly, "I’m just going out to arrange something, not going to battle. Don’t worry; I’ll be back tonight, ready to ’battle’ with you for three hundred rounds, so make sure you get plenty of rest!"
