I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 69

Seductive Attack

“Today, you are so amazing!”

During the period of time Su Wenwen and Luo Xi had been together, she had already learned to express the joy in her heart to her lover, so as soon as she returned home, she could not help but hug Luo Xi’s arm and say this sentence. She had never been as relaxed as she was today, able to be intimate without restraint and without needing to cover up. In her previous life, these were things she did not even dare to think about, just an extravagant hope.

            

Luo Xi looked sideways, with charming eyes like silk​¹, and reached out her hand to lift the strands of hair by Su Wenwen’s ear. “En, just a sentence of praise?”

Su Wenwen stared blankly at Luo Xi, able to see from that pair of misty eyes her own face-red-and-ears-red​² self with a straightly staring gaze, like a shy and delicate flower that seemed to want to refuse yet also welcome​³, emitting a charming floral fragrance.

So, in Luo Xi’s eyes she was actually this kind of appearance. She immediately moved her gaze away shyly, yet Luo Xi lowered her head and, fanning the wind and lighting the fire​⁴ by her ear, said, “Not speaking. What are you thinking about again?”

            

Su Wenwen’s ears were extremely sensitive. With merely a heat wave lingering beside her ear, her body became just like it had drunk alcohol, and she leaned as softly as cotton against Luo Xi.

“Actually, no matter what you are thinking or what you are doing, it is all okay. I only listen to you.” Luo Xi’s words were filled with bewitchment.

Su Wenwen did not withstand the seduction. She raised her head to meet Luo Xi’s gaze, and in an instant, her heart and mind were captured​⁵ by that pair of magical eyes. She did not know what sentence she said to Luo Xi, and next, she held those eye-catching red lips in her mouth and licked them.

            

Her consciousness was clear, and yet it also seemed blurry. She could feel her steaming-hot body becoming abnormally difficult to endure, but she did not know what she was actually doing. When she felt her body bring a trace of coolness, only then did she realize she was on the bed, and her hand was placed on Luo Xi’s shoulder.

For a moment, the temperature of her fingertips was startlingly scalding, but she did not know where she should place her hand. She always felt that no matter where she placed it, it would be a kind of blasphemy against Luo Xi.

But how could the mood of liking a person be easily suppressed? Su Wenwen’s gaze moved to the beauty mark, her gaze became glistening and overflowing, and unable to control her feelings, she lowered her head to kiss it.

            

A warm heat spread out from the corner of her eye, and Luo Xi’s eyelids trembled in response. She remembered that the last time Su Wenwen kissed her like this, she had also drunk alcohol. At that time, Luo Xi was assailed in the brain by the feeling of alcohol, and her reaction was slow by half a beat, which was why she was kissed squarely by Su Wenwen. It was also that kiss that made Luo Xi lose her heart, and subsequently gave birth to a crazy thought: wanting to knead Su Wenwen into her bones and blood.

But reason made her restrain herself. She should not use such an abrupt and domineering method to deal with this kind girl, so she could only endure and endure again. Now, how could she possibly endure it? Her desire was completely ignited by this kiss. She immediately turned over and got on top. She would use up all her methods to pull Su Wenwen to sink into depravity together​⁶.

After the weather turned cool, the inside of the blanket nest appeared warm and toasty, deepening a person’s laziness. Su Wenwen originally had the habit of lazing in bed, not to mention she had been tossed about for a whole night. At this moment, she completely did not want to get out of bed, and her whole person shrank into the blanket nest. But a ball of fire-heat suddenly stuck to her smooth and clean back. Su Wenwen had a jolt and simply pretended to be dead and did not move.

            

“Want to laze in bed like this for a whole day?”

Of course not. Su Wenwen just had thin face-skin​⁷. As soon as she thought of her own red-faced appearance from last night, she felt too embarrassed to face Luo Xi, so she wanted to wait for Luo Xi to get out of bed first so that she could sort out her emotions alone.

But for some unknown reason, the previously understanding-of-others’-feelings​⁸ Luo Xi seemed to have disappeared, as if she did not know about Su Wenwen’s predicament at all.

            

The overlapping legs carried a stickiness like a scorching summer day, like the heart-thumping of love at first sight, carrying an unripe and green beauty, wanting to speak yet holding back​⁹ while telling of their mutual affection.

This kind of tranquil feeling was too beautiful, so much so that Luo Xi also became lazy. “That’s fine too. I was too tired last night, it’s a good time to sleep a while longer…”

Hearing these words, Su Wenwen’s cheeks became even hotter. She hurriedly said in a muffled voice, “No, you must get out of bed first.”

            

“Why is that?”

“Didn’t you say that you only listen to my words? Why ask so much? I’m telling you to get out of bed, so get out of bed.”

“Truly domineering.”

            

Luo Xi smiled faintly and did not continue to tease Su Wenwen. She lifted the blanket and got up, picked up the scattered clothes on the floor, and walked in a straight line to the bathroom.

Su Wenwen heard the sound of flowing water coming from the bathroom, and only then did she poke her head out from the blanket. Her eyes took a glance, and the clothes on the floor were all gone. “The clothes on the floor?”

“Of course I washed them.” Luo Xi’s voice came from the bathroom, clear and cold, yet also revealing a bit of allure. “I washed yours too.”

            

Su Wenwen, with a red face, stammered for half a day and, in the end, was too embarrassed to ask further. She wrapped the blanket around herself, picked up her space backpack, and rummaged to find new clothes to put on.

Afterward, she raised her eyes to check the system panel. Good fellow​¹⁰, she could imagine how happy Luo Xi was last night; the blackening value had actually dropped by one hundred and twenty points consecutively. According to this speed, she estimated that after doing it a few more times, Luo Xi’s blackening value would be able to reach the level of a normal person.

Su Wenwen was startled by this thought. Her body still felt unwell even now. She hurriedly shook her head to throw away the charming and gentle thoughts, and then went to the kitchen to prepare the morning meal.

            

After eating until they were full, the two of them went in a straight line to a patch of woods. The environment here was secluded and beautiful. Everyone was usually busy earning crystal cores during this time period, so there was no one in the four directions, making it suitable for discussing matters.

Aoge sat on a long bench in the woods and waited for a good half of the day. Facing the goddess he was about to see, he was both excited and anxious. After all, the goddess had already made an official announcement in front of her family, and her tone was so firm; he, with high probability, had no chance anymore.

Aoge was secretly wounded in spirit. Hearing footsteps, he raised his head with joy, but the result was seeing the tranquil picture of the goddess and Su Wenwen walking over with their ten fingers interlocked. The radiant expression overflowing on their faces was one of happiness; other people could not insert a foot.

            

Aoge sighed, rubbed his aching heart, and then said, “If you two hadn’t come soon, I was planning to leave.”

Luo Xi was rarely amiable and pleasant in color​¹¹ towards Aoge, and said, “Apologies, you have waited a long time.”

Aoge knew Su Wenwen was beside them, so Luo Xi became very easy to talk to. If it were a normal time, Luo Xi would not bird him​¹². He sighed again, feeling that he was about to sigh himself into an old man. “It’s okay. Let’s talk about proper business.”

            

“The butler’s family lives in a villa in the western suburbs. There is no one monitoring the surroundings, which rules out the possibility that the butler is being threatened by someone.”

Luo Xi frowned. “That’s not right. Based on my understanding of the butler, he cherishes his family extremely and should not have arranged for his family to be in such a remote place on the periphery.”

“But there are indeed no traces of surveillance in the surroundings. I even sent people to investigate at night, and there are no surveillance cameras in the villa either.”

            

Su Wenwen listened to the two of them talk and roughly understood the course of events. Luo Xi had looked for the butler before. The butler probably felt guilt in his heart towards Father Luo, so he neither denied nor admitted it. No matter how Luo Xi coerced and lured him with promises, the butler just refused to open his mouth to speak. Luo Xi suspected that the butler was only like this because his family had been threatened, so these past few days she had asked Aoge to search, and only found the people the day before yesterday.

But the matter seemed to have fallen into a dead alleyway​¹³. The butler’s family was living normally, not looking like they were being controlled by someone.

Su Wenwen said, “Is it possible that the butler wanted his family to be far away from the disputes, and that’s why he arranged for them to be there?”

            

“If that’s the case…” Luo Xi frowned in thought, and as if she had thought of something, she said in shock, “This is bad. The reason the butler won’t open his mouth is that from the very beginning, he planned to use death to protect his family’s safety. Aoge, where is the butler being held now?”

Aoge said, “He’s right in your home’s backyard. But you can rest your heart, the Commander-in-Chief’s people are watching over the butler’s side, nothing will happen.”

“I still can’t rest my heart.” Luo Xi said to Su Wenwen, “These next few days, I have to watch the butler personally. You be careful at home by yourself.”

            

“Let me go with you. You can’t go several days without closing your eyes.”

“It’s fine. Let Chen Zixuan go with me. When you have time, go in my place to see that solitary and widowed old person at home.” Luo Xi said with a laugh.

Su Wenwen was amused by Luo Xi’s words into a “puchi” laugh. Although she was worried about Luo Xi, she also believed in Luo Xi’s abilities. Besides, the matter of visiting the “solitary and widowed old person”, was indeed most suitable for Su Wenwen, so she nodded and agreed to Luo Xi’s proposal.

            

Returning home all by herself, Su Wenwen, on the contrary, did not have any empty and desolate feelings. Instead, she quite enjoyed the time by herself, wiping tables and mopping the floor, and then going to the kitchen to prepare food ingredients.

Su Wenwen knew Ji Qingshuang was a big busy person. Even if she was going to visit, she could not disturb her work, so she simmered some fish soup, stir-fried two small dishes, packed them into a meal box, and took them to Ji Qingshuang.

Ji Qingshuang was in a meeting with people in the conference room. Luo Tianyang, as the Deputy Commander, was also among them. Su Wenwen carried the meal box and sat on the sofa in the reception hall, able to see Ji Qingshuang’s tired face-color through the glass.

            

The other people also had tightly locked eyebrows. The atmosphere did not look very good, and the situation looked very terrible. Only Luo Tianyang’s expression looked the most relaxed.

Ji Qingshuang saw the waiting Su Wenwen from the spare light of the corner of her eye. Her eyebrows smoothed out, and she said to everyone, “This matter is temporarily postponed. I know what everyone is worried about in their hearts. I will dispatch more manpower. Once a situation arises, I will definitely control it at the first moment. The meeting is now dismissed.”

Everyone scattered one after another. Luo Tianyang glanced at Ji Qingshuang and followed to leave the conference room.

            

Ji Qingshuang walked towards Su Wenwen with a face full of smiles, as if the vexation from just now was merely other people’s illusion. “Is the meal box brought for me?”

Su Wenwen nodded obediently, opened the meal box, and arranged the chopsticks well. Ji Qingshuang began to eat directly in the reception hall.

“Wenwen’s hand-skill is truly good. Where is that person Luo Xi? How is it that only you have come to visit this solitary and widowed old person that is me?”

            

Su Wenwen held back her smiling feeling and told Ji Qingshuang the things that happened this morning. Afterward, she voiced the doubt in her heart: “Since the butler does not plan to live, why is he still alive now?”

Ji Qingshuang pondered for a moment. “If you were the butler and felt guilt in your heart towards the Luo family, what should you do to be able to protect your family and at the same time offset that sense of guilt?”

Su Wenwen thought of it. The reason the butler did not speak was to protect his family members. The reason he was still alive now was that he wanted to wait for that behind-the-scenes black hand​¹⁴ to send someone to kill him, so that Luo Xi could grab the assassin and follow the vine to find the melon​¹⁵. Then the behind-the-scenes black hand’s attention would shift onto the assassin’s body.

            

They would definitely have to extinguish the mouth​¹⁶.

Moreover, the butler had followed Father Luo and Old Master Luo for so many years and had some amount of feeling for them. According to Old Master Luo’s personality, after learning that the butler was assassinated by someone, he would definitely not disregard his family.
