Chapter 691: Change
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Xiaoxiao woke up, and her mood became much smoother, and she became much calmer.
Many times, she would sit in the garden and watch the two children play. If it snowed, she would watch the children have s...o...b..ll fights when she had the leisure.
At this moment, her life was like that of an old woman in his twilight years. It was peaceful, quiet, and really quiet without a hint of life.
If it weren’t for the fact that she still had two children, most of the time when 19 saw her like this, he would have thought that she was about to become an immortal.
“Do you still remember the hot spring that we went to before? Let’s bring the children to play. It’s a little better now, and it’s very quiet.”
19 handed a gla.s.s of milk to Shen Xiaoxiao. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the two children chasing in the snow and nodded.
“Sure. The winter in China is too cold. Most of the time, we can only play indoors. It’s not good for the two children. It’s not bad to bring them out to play.”
“Then I’ll make the arrangements. You go inside for a while. It’s too cold outside.”
“Don’t worry. I’m fine. I even practiced a set of boxing in the morning. It’s fine as long as it’s not an intense activity.”
“Alright, take care of yourself. I have some matters to attend to tonight. You take the children and rest early. We’ll set off for the hot spring tomorrow morning.”
Seeing 19 leave, Shen Xiaoxiao did not ask where 19 would go. She actually knew that aside from the company matters, there were only the Dark Empire matters that 19 had to attend to.
Other than meeting people from the Dark Empire, there was absolutely no other way to go out at night.
It was just that she did not know who he would meet tonight.
However, no matter who she met, Shen Xiaoxiao did not have the strength to ask too many questions. After all, she had just returned from the gates of h.e.l.l. If she wanted to cherish her life, she should mind her own business.
Right now, other than the matter of the two children, there was also the matter of Yan Kuan. She did not want to ask too many questions. After all, there were too many loyal people around Yan Kuan. There was no need for her to care so much.
So, she just needed to take care of herself.
…
“19, how is Sister-in-law? Her poison?”
“I’ve said it before, from now on, we have nothing to do with you. Don’t come looking for us again.”
“19, don’t be like this. I know you’re just saying it out of anger. How is Sister-in-law?”
Yun Qi was getting more and more anxious. When he really saw 19, he knew that he was still determined to have nothing to do with them. He knew that Sister-in-law was probably in serious condition this time.
“It’s fine. She just woke up yesterday.”
“Yesterday? Does that mean that she was in a coma for ten days?”
19 glanced at Yun Qi and said coldly, “Yes. Thanks to your boss, she was in a coma for ten days.”
Dark 2 and Yun Qi looked at each other. This time, he was the one to speak:
“I’m Miss’ secret guard. I came back this time to follow Miss. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”
Yun Qi almost kicked Dark 2 in the heart. He had said it well, but this kid took advantage of the situation and turned around at the last minute. He was not a good person.
Dark 2 was also helpless. 19’s att.i.tude was so firm now. If both of them pushed 19 like that, they would definitely not be able to gain anything. It was better for him to take a roundabout tactic and infiltrate the enemy first.
“There’s no need. Miss doesn’t need a secret guard. We’re just ordinary people. We never took the initiative to be the leader of the bandits.”
“19, what are you talking about? What leader of the bandits? Don’t forget that you were also a bandit back then.”
“You also say that it was back then. Now, we’re just ordinary people.”
“I say, you brat, you don’t know what’s good for you, right? Dark 1 said that it was just a misunderstanding back then. A misunderstanding. Why are you so angry?”
“A misunderstanding? A simple ‘misunderstanding’ is enough? You know how people who were affected by the Suoyin Flower Tears are like. Xiaoxiao lay in bed for ten days without eating, drinking, moving, or waking up. The two children cried for their mother every day. Tell me, what kind of life was she living?”
“Yan Kuan only needs to say that he did not know, and he can make everyone forgive him? On what basis?”
“If he hadn’t insisted on grilling Xiaoxiao on the stove, would such a situation have happened? He kept saying that he loves her, but all I see was hurt and torture. So, go back and tell Yan Kuan to let it go. It’s best if we go our separate ways. That’s how we lived those three years. There’s nothing bad about it.”
Seeing 19 like this and hearing what he said, the two of them didn’t know what to say. After all, what he said was the truth. Their boss had really brought this on himself.
But what could they do? There was no turning back after what had already happened.
“No matter what, we just hope that Sister-in-law is safe. It’s fine if you don’t let me see Sister-in-law, but Dark 2 will definitely stay behind. Even if he doesn’t become Sister-in-law’s secret guard, our future Master’s safety will also be a concern. How can you protect three people by yourself? Even a tiger will take a nap, let alone you?”
19 glanced at Dark 2, glared at Yun Qi, and turned around to leave.
Dark 2 heaved a sigh of relief. 19 did not say anything, indicating that he had compromised. Although he did not know why 19 had suddenly compromised, when he saw 19 leave, he naturally followed.
After Yun Qi saw that 19 had left, he shook his head helplessly and left as well.
Why did 19 suddenly agree? It was because Yun Qi was right about one thing. Even tigers had their naps. No matter if it was Xiaoxiao or the children, he could not watch them 24 hours a day.
If Dark 2 wanted to follow, then so be it. However, he was not easy to fool.
“Since you want to follow Miss, you know what to do, right?”
Dark 2 was stunned for a moment. Then, he took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to 19. 19 took out two magnets from his pocket. According to what Shen Xiaoxiao had done back then, he scanned Dark 2s entire body on his wrist.
When Dark 2 saw 19’s actions, he thought to himself, ‘This kid probably already predicted that I would stay behind. 19 is really becoming more and more shrewd.’
After cutting off all the communication devices, 19 drove back to the residential area with Dark 2.
When he saw Shen Xiaoxiao, Dark 2 finally understood why 19 had such a big reaction.
How long had it been since they last saw each other? Not only had she lost so much weight, but what was with her gray hair?
“Second Uncle.”
“Second Uncle.”
The two children were taught to be very polite by Shen Xiaoxiao. When they saw Dark 2, they immediately greeted him.
The two of them wore the same fluffy little tiger pajamas. They obediently nestled beside Shen Xiaoxiao and the mother and children were watching cartoons.
Even Dark 2 could not bear to disturb such a warm scene.
Perhaps as a bandit leader, such warmth was rare. It was no wonder 19 did not want to have anything to do with them.
“Little guys, it’s time to rest. Let’s go. We still have to play tomorrow. We have to rest well to be energetic.”
“Okay, we can finally play tomorrow. Mommy said that we can still swim. Uncle, let’s go to sleep immediately.”
19 walked into the room with the two children, not looking at Dark 2 and Shen Xiaoxiao who was standing there.
“Miss, are you okay?”
