Chapter 17: Chapter 15: If You Like Someone, Confess Your Feelings!
"""
Oh crap, what the hell is this?
Su Chen immediately hung up the phone and then said to Lin Xi with a distressed face: "Wife, if I say it was a wrong number and that 'little Chen Chen' wasn't me, would you believe me?"
"I believe you."
"Really? Wife, you truly are wise and brilliant."
"I believe you my ass!"
Bang!
Seeing Lin Xi about to go into berserk mode, Su Chen made a snap decision and closed the door.
Damn it, good thing I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been on the receiving end of a non-stop barrage under the moonlight.
Terrifying Luna, oh no, terrifying CEO wife.
Then, Su Chen's phone rang again.
"Hello, little Chen Chen, why did you hang up on your sister?" A lazy voice tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction came through the phone.
Su Chen thought to himself, I haven't even settled scores with you yet, and you're already questioning me. Do I know you that well? Calling me 'little Chen Chen'? Lin Xi was almost ready to call me 'brother' or 'hubby', and now you've ruined it all.
"I say, Xuewei, why are you calling me?" Su Chen replied with a bitter smile.
"I say, little Chen Chen, your beautiful sister Xuewei is calling you, how come you don't seem very happy?"
"Happy, I'm so happy I could almost cry." Su Chen really did feel like crying.
Just when things were starting to look up with Lin Xi, Yang Xuewei's meddling was likely to lead to another cold war.
"Hehe, smooth talker." Yang Xuewei seemed completely oblivious to Su Chen's frustration and truly thought he was flattered.
"Here's the thing, it's my turn to buy breakfast tomorrow, but I'm kind of lazy and like to stay in bed. Can you buy it for your sister, pretty please? I won't let you down."
Su Chen thought it was going to be something serious, buying breakfast was no big deal. A text message would have sufficed, why the need to call.
This could literally be the death of him, but after all, Yang Xuewei is an old hand in sales, and he, as the newbie, knew he had to show some respect.
"No problem, Xuewei, just text me what you want and I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
"Really? Then sister thanks you in advance, muah." Yang Xuewei actually sent a blowing kiss over the phone to Su Chen.
A kiss over the phone, what's the use? If you've got the guts, do it in person.
Su Chen curled his lip.
Soon, he received a text from Yang Xuewei.
The content of the text made Su Chen nearly jump.
Twenty pork buns, seven soy milk, five steamed buns, three cartons of milk...
What the heck, Xuewei, are you a pig...
Another message followed, showing a top-up of fifty yuan to his mobile account, for details please...
While puzzled, Yang Xuewei sent another text, "This is for the breakfast money, I told you I wouldn't let you lose out."
Indeed lazy enough, not even bothering to ask for his bank account number, just topped up his phone credit directly.
If he hadn't just paid five hundred yuan for his phone bill all at once, he would have given Yang Xuewei thirty-two thumbs up.
Luckily it's only fifty yuan, not five hundred, or Su Chen would really be crying.
Just as he was preparing to wash up, there was a knock on the door.
Su Chen hesitated, considering whether to escape through the window, when Qiu Jinghan's voice sounded, "It's me, not Miss."
Hearing it wasn't Lin Xi, Su Chen sheepishly opened the door.
Indeed, it was Qiu Jinghan, holding a tray of food.
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Chen felt especially warm.
"""
After dinner, Su Chen personally went to wash the dishes, considering that Qiu Jinghan's hand was injured and shouldn't touch water.
Returning to the room, Su Chen locked the door behind him, then pulled out a laptop from under the bed.
Plugging in a wireless network card, he entered a URL and soon accessed a webpage filled with advertisements.
Then, in the bottom left corner of the webpage, a very inconspicuous spot, he clicked.
A prompt came up asking for a password.
After entering a series of three eleven-digit passwords, the page suddenly changed, leading to a website with a completely black style and a faint outline of a rising Giant Dragon in the center.
"The Reverse Dragon Squad really lives up to its name, completing three S-rank missions."
It seems that even without me, those kids can take good care of themselves.
Su Chen's expression became complicated when he saw the last two gray avatars.
One was his, and the other was sister-in-law Long Lan's.
Gray headshots mean temporarily off the team, or that they've possibly been lost.
Ever since he joined the Reverse Dragon Group, he and sister-in-law's avatars had always been lit.
This time, however, they both went dark.
Sister-in-law must have gone to do that thing.
"Damn it, this mission took three days, all because sister-in-law wasn't there."
"Don't mention sister-in-law. If Chen was here, it wouldn't have taken this long."
"Do you guys think, with sister-in-law and Chen disappearing at the same time, that this dog couple ran off together?"
"Highly possible!"
"Poor us, still stuck in this godforsaken place…"
"…"
Looking at the sudden influx of chat messages, Su Chen was both amused and angry.
These bastards are really bold, daring to say that he and sister-in-law eloped.
He did wish to elope with sister-in-law, but unfortunately, he knew that if sister-in-law didn't accomplish that one thing, she would forever just be his sister-in-law.
"Sigh, don't talk nonsense, or Chen and sister-in-law might see it and beat you up."
"Scared? At this point, Chen is probably too busy making babies with sister-in-law to come online."
"Cough cough, you think sister-in-law is so fierce, can Chen hold up?"
"Shh, stop it, Chu Feng will be upset."
"Poor little Feng Feng, I told you, since you like Chen, just confess to him. Now you've been upstaged by sister-in-law, an old cow eating tender grass!"
"…"
Watching these jerks chat more and more outrageously, Su Chen gritted his teeth in irritation, but it was a pity he was in an off-duty state and could only read, unable to send messages.
However, since these kids had time to chit-chat and shoot the breeze, it meant the mission was completed well, and there were no casualties.
With that, he felt at ease.
Since he couldn't send messages, he might as well log off to avoid being infuriated to death by those rascals.
The night passed without incident, and Su Chen got up early, since today he not only had to go to work but also needed to buy breakfast for Yang Xuewei, so he had to rise early.
Just as he was descending the stairs, he saw Lin Xi getting ready to leave the house.
Lin Xi, of course, also saw Su Chen, though she wasn't angry anymore because there was no need.
As long as Su Chen didn't bring any women into the villa, he could play however he liked.
She was planning to walk away directly, but thinking that this guy was up so early to look for a job, he might not be completely hopeless, she turned to Su Chen and said, "You don't have to look for a job. Come work at my company. I'll arrange a security staff role for you, the kind where you don't have to patrol or stand guard."
