I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 106

The two were taking a walk in the world of ice and snow. Although the snow had lessened a lot, as the sun set behind the mountains, the surrounding cold air became even colder, wishing it could drill into the skin; even wearing cold-proof clothing, it could still find gaps to drill through.

Su Wenwen had been playing in a snowball fight for another afternoon, and at this moment her hands were stuffed into her coat pockets, but there was no warmth for a long time.

She glanced at the slightly fast-paced Luo Xi, a little dissatisfied, and reached out to tug on her sleeve, saying: “My hands are cold.”

Luo Xi turned her head and glanced at her: “Then walk faster, there’s a warming stove¹ at home.”

Hmph hmph, was a warming stove what she wanted?

Su Wenwen directly put her hand into Luo Xi’s pocket, but touched a hand that was even colder than her own, and couldn’t help but shiver: “Your hand is even colder, let me warm it for you.”

After speaking, she tightly clasped Luo Xi’s fingers, intertwining them together. Even though the weather was cold, as long as she was in close contact with Luo Xi, an invisible heat would be generated, dispelling the chill.

It was just so magical.

Luo Xi said nothing, but she slowed her pace, keeping in step with Su Wenwen.

After returning home, Su Wenwen let go of Luo Xi, turned around and picked up the spatial backpack from the sofa, took out some biscuits and water from inside, and after the two had a simple bite to eat, they washed up and lay down on the bed.

However, Su Wenwen couldn’t quite fall asleep. Leaning against Luo Xi’s side, sniffing the faint, fresh fragrance, she suddenly felt her mouth and tongue were dry, as if she had just eaten too many biscuits and urgently wanted a drink of water.

“Um…”

“Tomorrow, you give the recording pen to me.”

The recording pen was what Su Wenwen had secretly recorded when Doctor Liu had previously dictated the circumstances of Father Luo’s death. She had originally wanted to give it to Ji Qingshuang, but Luo Xi had stopped her.

“What do you plan to do?”

“Of course, I’ll go directly to Luo Tianyang.”

Su Wenwen felt it was inappropriate: “I know you are eager for revenge in your heart, but you should still tell your mother first!”

Even in private, Su Wenwen addressed Ji Qingshuang as the Commander-in-Chief. Today, she used the address “mother” to remind Luo Xi that while she had lost a father, Ji Qingshuang had lost a husband who had accompanied her for a lifetime.

Luo Xi glanced at her and said: “She has too many things to worry about. Not telling her is for the best.”

Su Wenwen sighed: “Since you are prepared to tear the face skin², then have you investigated how many people Luo Tianyang has under him?”

“I already investigated it clearly before. Besides the deceased Doctor Liu, there is also the family with the surname Tang. Before the apocalypse, their family was involved in the media sector. After my dad’s death, the vast majority of the rumors that slandered me were released by their platforms. They must have some cooperation with Luo Tianyang.”

Su Wenwen also knew about the new media³ that the Tang family ran. It was said that Tang Yue⁴ was a prodigal son who spent money without restraint and frequently kept lovers. Originally, with the Tang family’s financial foundation, supporting a good-for-nothing like Tang Yue wouldn’t have been a problem.

But Tang Yue was not just a good-for-nothing, he was also a big fool. He was tricked into acting as a guarantor to enter the real estate market, building nothing but luxury villas and office buildings. As a result, his income could not cover his expenses, the person who tricked him ran off with the money, and the villas and buildings all became rotten tails⁵. He was hounded by the bank for debts and chased by the common people for housing refunds.

At that time, Su Wenwen had thought that the Tang family would decline from then on, but later, all sorts of unfavorable news about the Tang family disappeared. She didn’t pay attention to these things, treating them all as a way to pass the time, forgetting them after seeing them.

Thinking about it now, the news about the Tang family seemed to have vanished after Father Luo’s death, and what replaced it, covering the sky and the earth, was all news about Luo Xi. Moreover, after the Tang family was in a buttfull of debt, Tang Yue still lived a carefree and unrestrained life, eating, drinking, and playing all day, frequenting bars and high-end clubs, with the beauties by his side changing on a daily, non-repeating basis.

At that time, no one was willing to finance the Tang family’s new media. Where did the money come from?

Unless, the Tang family and Luo Tianyang had reached some kind of consensus, then wouldn’t the funds have come!

“Then I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

“No need. I’m just giving the recording pen to him. Once he gets the recording pen, he should be anxious to get rid of me, but he won’t make a move on me brazenly. After all, there are still many people by my grandfather’s side who are willing to listen to his orders.”

Su Wenwen understood. Due to Old Master Luo’s presence, even if the recording pen was made public, at most it would only cause Luo Tianyang to lose everything he currently had, but he would still be able to live.

But this was not the result Luo Xi wanted. So, giving the recording pen to Luo Tianyang would make him misstep again and again out of anxiety, until it reached a point where even Old Master Luo could not save him, and that would be the date of Luo Tianyang’s death.

Su Wenwen made no comment on this, but a cornered dog will jump over the wall, and a rabbit will bite people⁶. She was afraid of some kind of accident: “Still, let me follow, okay?”

Luo Xi reached out and stroked the top of her head, her tone gentle: “You can’t leave my side that much?”

“What do you mean can’t leave, I’m clearly worried about you, okay?”

Seeing Su Wenwen’s dead duck’s mouth is hard⁷ appearance, Luo Xi smiled faintly: “Is there a difference?”

“Are you going to let me follow or not?”

Su Wenwen angrily grabbed Luo Xi’s collar, but because she was wearing pajamas, the collar was already wide open, and with such a pull… her eyes glanced down, and even in the darkness, that handful of pale muscle was visible to the naked eye.

Su Wenwen’s face instantly turned red, but in order to follow Luo Xi, she couldn’t weaken her momentum. She could only hold on, using the unhappy expression on her face to cover the shyness in her heart.

But Luo Xi didn’t play her cards according to the routine⁸ at all. She backhandedly grabbed Su Wenwen’s wrist, and with a gentle pull, the two rolled into a ball.

Red lips pressed against a piece of warmth, their breaths mingling. The cold room instantly turned into a sultry heat, and the sounds of spring moans were continuous, weaving into a charming music.

Su Wenwen hid in the corner of the wall, watching the recording pen in Luo Xi’s hand fly up into the air. It flew all the way to the tightly closed window, the lock opened for no reason at all, the window pulled open a crack, and the recording pen flew inside just like that, brazenly.

Uh, it felt like the whole night of struggle was all Su Wenwen’s own needless worry.

Luo Xi laughingly flicked her forehead with a fingertip: “Come with me to the laboratory to have a look.”

Su Wenwen rubbed her forehead resentfully, a little angry that Luo Xi didn’t explain things clearly, causing her to be responsive to every request last night. No, that’s not right, it seems that in order to follow along, she was the one who proactively did many shameful things, and also said a lot of flirtatious words that she wouldn’t normally say.

Things like, “touch me more here,” “I still want more,” “you can add one more finger,” and other shameless words.

Wuwuwu, I want to die.

Fortunately, the weather was cold now, and the slight flush on her cheeks from the cold could hide a lot of shameless emotions.

The two arrived at the laboratory and saw that Ao Ge’s team was also giving Lin Wan a hand, while Shen Ming was sitting in a chair, had taken off his shirt, and had a tube inserted into his arm, drawing his blood.

Lin Wan stood beside him, staring at the blood bag, while Shen Ming kept staring at Lin Wan.

Su Wenwen saw that there wasn’t the slightest spark between the two and felt it was a lost cause. However, they had already deviated from the plot, so whether they got together or not wasn’t really important anymore.

When Sisi saw Su Wenwen and Luo Xi, she rushed between the two of them, holding each of their hands respectively, as if she had found her parents.

Speaking of which, Sisi was still young, at the age for schooling. Su Wenwen stroked Sisi’s head, feeling it was necessary to mention it to Lin Wan. They couldn’t just let Sisi be cooped up in the laboratory all day long.

After the blood draw was finished, Lin Wan handed the blood bag to others, gave many instructions, and only then took off her mask and walked towards Su Wenwen and Luo Xi.

“The equipment for replicating cells is limited. I can only start the work after the Ao family researches a new machine.”

Su Wenwen asked: “Will it be a long time?”

Too many people couldn’t afford to wait.

Hearing this, Ao Ge patted his chest and guaranteed: “Don’t worry, we are just upgrading on the basis of old equipment, it won’t delay too much time, at most… half a month, I guess!”

“You sound a bit lacking in breath⁹ when you say that half a month!” Su Wenwen teased him.

Ao Ge snorted coldly: “How is that possible? I guarantee you, it won’t even take half a month.”

“Don’t get your face slapped¹⁰ then, oh!”

Hearing this, Ao Ges eyes widened in a stare, and he turned around and grabbed his team to continue working.

It was pitiful that they hadn’t even had time to eat breakfast and had been rushing until now. Suddenly seeing Ao Ge looking like he had eaten gunpowder, following behind them and constantly spurring them on, they were crying bitterness in their hearts.

However, Ao Ge had a conscience. When noon arrived, he generously invited everyone to the Ao family’s home for a meal.

Su Wenwen and Luo Xi also went.

The house the Ao family lived in was extremely large; the courtyard alone was the size of half a soccer field. However, quite a few ability users lived inside, so a larger place was needed to settle them.

These ability users were usually taken care of by the Ao family, and they also tossed a peach and were repaid with a plum¹¹, only taking orders from the Ao family.

Seeing Ao Ge bring so many people over, they all smiled and greeted them. The atmosphere was quite good, and it didn’t make people feel uncomfortable or tense.

Although the lunch wasn’t considered exceptionally good, it was nutritionally complete, with potatoes, green vegetables, noodles, boiled eggs, seafood, and freshly brewed red wine.

Taking advantage of the easy-to-talk atmosphere at the dinner table, Su Wenwen mentioned the matter of Sisi’s schooling to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan was silent for a moment: “Sisi really should go to school, it’s just that she was locked in the forbidden zone, I’m a little worried.”

“It’s okay, you can go see Sisi when you have time, and we will also go see Sisi when we have time.” Su Wenwen stroked Sisi’s head.

Sisi looked at Lin Wan: “Jiejie, Sisi wants to go to school. Sisi can eat, brush her teeth, and bathe by herself.”

A softness appeared in the depths of Lin Wan’s eyes, and she softly said okay. Then she said to Luo Xi: “I was wondering if you could ask a favor of the Commander-in-Chief to help me find a trustworthy person to specifically look after Sisi. I will pay for the required crystal core expenses.”

As a researcher, the difficulty of earning crystal cores was not great for her.

Everyone knew Lin Wan’s importance. To let her concentrate on her research, her family naturally had to be protected.

Especially with Luo Tianyang still watching, it was even more necessary to keep a close watch on Sisi.

Luo Xi said: “You don’t need to pay the expenses. I actually have suitable candidates in mind. Their names are Chen Zixuan and Wang Kelin. Their skills are very good, and their character is also up to standard. It’s just that they have gone out to collect supplies. If there are no accidents, they should be back in a few days.”

Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s okay, Sisi won’t be reporting to school that quickly anyway. There’s no rush.”
