Su Xing didn't pursue the topic further but asked him seriously, "What do you do to earn so much extra money? Is it the same as Nan Gong Ye, or are you using your power for personal gain?" Since she had decided to acknowledge him as her boyfriend and had thoughts of spending a lifetime together, it was better to clarify such matters.
Shen Jingyu found it somewhat amusing yet exasperating. When did your mind start wandering like this? He gently poked her forehead with his index finger and then softly pinched her cheek. "I'm asking reasonable questions, so are you going to give me a serious answer?"
Well, Su Xing was still the type who wouldn't let love blind her judgment. Shen Jingyu fell silent for a moment. "Is it that hard to answer? Are you really doing something you shouldn't be?" Su Xing's gaze was filled with suspicion and scrutiny.
Shen Jingyu playfully pinched the tip of her nose with a bit of force. "Do you have so little confidence in your man?"
"Hehe, while you're not officially my man yet, I need to clarify things first, weigh the pros and cons, and cut my losses in time!"
Shen Jingyu couldn't help but laugh at her fiery demeanor. However, seeing her infuriating expression made him unable to resist sealing her lips with a kiss.
After an unknown amount of time passed, Su Xing felt as if all the air in her chest had been sucked out by him. Finally, Shen Jingyu released her and took a moment to compose himself before speaking. "I work in a profession; I'm still a soldier. As for the money, it's all earned through investments, and many industries are managed by Mu Beiming for me. It has nothing to do with the Nan Gong family."
Su Xing was somewhat puzzled. "Then why are you back in Shen? Even if you've transitioned careers, I doubt you'll fully return to the military." After all, that special operations team was not something the public could know about.
"So, what about you in the future?"
"Well, there will be business trips, but I'll keep you informed about my whereabouts. That's a promise."
"Mm, I heard that Shen's businesses are spread across the country; do you have branches overseas as well?" Su Xing didn’t know much about business circles but had heard of Shen’s almost peak position.
"Yes, gradually you'll get to know more."
In truth, Shen Jingyu hadn’t clarified that he didn’t need to personally handle Shen’s business affairs; his so-called business trips were likely for special missions. This was essentially a significant lie he told Su Xing.
He just hoped that in the future he would have the opportunity to apply for her understanding of his identity.
"So, can you relax now? Or do you still need to cut your losses in time?"
"Hehe, little A Yu, it’s not that easy!"
Your sister here has committed numerous crimes, and they are too many to list! So just wait for me to torment you properly!
Shen Jingyu watched her with a proud demeanor. Instead of feeling threatened, she seemed quite pleased as she said, "I look forward to seeing how you plan to torment me. You’ll have your chance when we get home."
Su Xing noticed the way his eyes roamed over her, and he looked a bit embarrassed. She shifted slightly and said, "Let me lie down beside you. We still have over four hours of flight time; I need some rest."
But Shen Jingyu had no intention of letting go. She probably didn’t realize that he had long wished to hold her close.
Su Xing didn’t remember when she fell asleep. She awoke to a ringing in her ears. Pulling back the sunshade, she saw that it was already bright outside, and the buildings below were clearly visible. Finally, she was back on this familiar land. Although she had only been away for three days, she felt an overwhelming longing for her home and family.
Looking back, she noticed that Shen Jingyu was nowhere to be seen. The blanket draped over her must have been his doing, but where had he gone? Surely he hadn’t left the plane early.
Yet Su Xing realized that she had developed a sense of dependence on him. It was different from the past; being near him gave her a unique sense of security.
In fact, the urgency of returning was because Shen Jingyu had received news that Zhan Ying had returned early. It seemed that others had set off even before him and had smuggled a large shipment of dangerous goods back into the country! If they succeeded, the people would once again fall prey to drugs, and those responsible would be branded as eternal criminals!
So after Su Xing fell into a deep sleep on the plane, Shen Jingyu went to the back cabin where Luo Hao was and held a brief meeting with the team. They formulated a mission plan and arranged for someone to protect Su Xing.
However, one thing that continued to trouble and irritate Shen Jingyu was that Han Ruoxi had already returned to the country? Luo Hao raised an eyebrow; it was rare to hear Brother Yu speak so harshly about someone.
"She returned on a private jet sent by Geng Rui," he explained. "Her whereabouts were concealed internationally, and we only got wind of it because we have special surveillance."
Han Ruoxi seemed intent on sneaking in and out without anyone noticing. However, her smugness wouldn’t last long; soon she would learn that Su Xing was safe and back! Moreover, Su Xing had confirmed her relationship with Shen Jingyu!
Feeling increasingly agitated at the thought of Han Shuo, Shen Jingyu unconsciously pulled out a cigarette from Luo Hao's pocket. Then he remembered they were on a plane but still pinched it between his fingers.
"Keep an eye on her every move," he ordered. "If she dares to act recklessly..."
But Shen Jingyu couldn’t finish his sentence.
Han Shuo was his savior, and one could say he died for his own sake. Han Ruoxi was his only sister. Back then, Han Ruoxi shared the same pride as Han Shuo, striving with her own willpower. Shen Jingyu felt guilty and willingly used his strength to help her succeed. However, he never expected that she would change so much that he could hardly recognize her.
Luo Hao dared not ask too deeply. With Han Ruoxi's current actions regarding Su Xing, what could he do? Given the situation, he was already cautious enough; it seemed they were just waiting for conflict to arise.
Finally, the plane landed. Su Xing stood up, and Shen Jingyu approached him. "You're awake! We made it back."
"Yes, we’re finally home," Su Xing replied.
As they followed Shen Jingyu out of the private terminal, Su Xing took the initiative to say, "You should attend to your own matters; I can take a taxi home."
"I should probably go check on my mom first; she must be worried sick by now."
"I have nothing urgent to do; I’ll accompany you," Shen Jingyu said, firmly holding onto Su Xing's hand.
Feeling a bit awkward, Su Xing walked alongside him but was surprised to see Mu Beiming and Mu Beiyao waiting to pick them up. To her astonishment, they had brought two cars.
Without a second thought, Su Xing left Shen Jingyu behind and quickly walked over to Mu Beiyao, embracing her tightly. "Mu Beiyao! I missed you! Thank you for all your efforts these past few days!"
"Stop it! I saw the photos of you and your man in those fancy outfits from Western Country. Were you out fishing for men or on vacation?" Mu Beiyao teased while returning the hug without any sign of worry.
"What channels did you use to find that out?" Su Xing asked.
"Get in my car; I have something to tell you!" Mu Beiyao said mysteriously.
Su Xing didn’t refuse. "Alright, I need to head back to my mom’s place anyway. Miss Mu, are you willing to be my driver?"
Mu Beiyao looked at her calmly and replied, "You seem to be in a good mood."
"Let’s hope that after she hears the news later, you'll still be this happy!"
