Chapter 711: Su Huiqing, You are Too Late

When Su Huiqing returned with two cups of milk tea, that ruddy old man was already gone.

She didn’t ask Yu Shijin, knowing that he had his reasons.

She just held the milk tea straw in her mouth and looked at the people around her. She narrowed her eyes. “Something is not right here?”

“That’s right.” Yu Shijin didn’t hide it from her. “There have been two cases recently. Two cultivators suddenly became mutants.”

Upon hearing this news, Su Huiqing’s expression changed. She could not hide the disgust on her face. “Did you find out anything?”

“Yes, I had.” Yu Shijin’s eyes flashed sharply. “I’m preparing to go out.”

“How long is it going to take?” Su Huiqing was still thinking about the impact of this matter. When she suddenly heard his voice, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Half a month.” Yu Shijin continued to stroke her hair.

Su Huiqing opened her mouth and suddenly frowned. “Your…”

“It’s fine.” Yu Shijin seemed to know what she wanted to ask. He just grabbed her empty hand and walked towards the middle of the crowd. He said mildly, “Old Master Zhuge gave me a bottle of potion.”

“That’s good.” Su Huiqing still wanted to say something, but she didn’t. “When are you leaving?”

“The day after tomorrow.” Yu Shijin glanced down at her.

Su Huiqing smiled. “Let me send you.”

It was a strange reaction. Yu Shijin stared into her eyes, hoping to see something through them.

However, Su Huiqing’s acting skills were G.o.d-like in the entertainment circle. It was impossible for him to see anything.

…

After knowing that Yu Shijin was also leaving, Su Huiqing became even more serious about the wasteland. There were only ten days left before the agreed time with Old Master Zhuge. She wanted to use these ten days to arrange the matters in the wasteland for the next year.

The city wall was not built, and the houses were not built. Actually, Su Huiqing knew that it was wrong to leave at this time, but she had no choice.

She took a deep breath and continued to dive into the doc.u.ment.

On the day that Yu Shijin went on a mission, Su Huiqing actually didn’t sleep for the entire night. Something went wrong during the construction of the bridge.

The mud at the bottom of the sea was too deep, and the bridge they placed was not stable enough. The stones slid down along the silt.

Su Huiqing took a look and drew a huge cylinder. It was hollow but very heavy. It sank through the seawater and didn’t slide down like a rock. Instead, it sank to the bottom of the sea. Only then did she get someone to fill it in.

The designers didn’t expect this to happen. They looked at Su Huiqing as if they had seen a ghost.

Qu Yan followed behind Su Huiqing. When she saw that the designers were about to rush forward, she couldn’t help but wave her hand. “What are you doing? It’s a routine operation. Stand down.”

Su Huiqing ma.s.saged her temples as she picked up her phone to look at the time.

“Qingqing, leave if you have something on.” Qu Yan glanced at her. “Leave this to me.”

Su Huiqing didn’t refuse and boarded the private jet to leave.

On the other side, Yu Han and the rest looked at Yu Shijin who was still standing at the pier. They couldn’t help but look at one another. In the end, they pushed someone out. Yu Han was squeezed to the front and braced himself. “Young Master, we should go.”

There was no response. Yu Shijin didn’t even look at him.

Yu Han and the rest looked at one another and remained silent.

When Su Huiqing arrived at last, he was still standing there, leaning slightly against the front of the car. His head was lowered, and his right hand was playing with the black lighter, the blue flames flashing continuously.

Her att.i.tude was very casual, but she exuded her usual cold and aloof vibe.

She clearly saw him take out a cigarette, but she hesitated for a moment and didn’t light it.

For some reason, Su Huiqing felt a little gratified when she saw this scene.

The person with his head lowered suddenly looked up in her direction. His eyes were terrifyingly bright.

When they saw Su Huiqing appear, Yu Han and the rest finally knew why he behaved abnormally. Anyway, after meeting Su Huiqing, Yu Shijin had to give them a discount no matter what.

The few of them took a turn and left first.

Only two people remained in the empty VIP pa.s.sageway.

“You are late.” Yu Shijin stuffed the lighter back into his pocket and gestured. “Three minutes.”

Su Huiqing took a few steps forward and explained, “There were some problems with the project just now…”

However, before she could finish her explanation, Yu Shijin pinched her chin. Before she could catch her breath, his face pressed down. It didn’t have the faint smell of tobacco like before. Instead, it was slightly chilly. Finally, he bit her lips.

Su Huiqing took a step back and looked up at his flawless face.

Yu Shijin didn’t mind. Instead, he reached out and pulled her back. His fingertips lingered by her lips. Seeing her red lips, his eyes darkened. However, he just tilted his head and whispered in her ear, “So strange. To be honest, Su Huiqing, what did you do to let me down?”
