The moment he said the word ‘moved’, Long Xi was shocked. Why did he say that? What kind of answer did he want to hear after he said it?
In fact, he really wanted to know why Shen Xiaoxiao did not take action when she knew that he had broken into this place. Instead, she allowed him to communicate with her two children. Did she really trust him so much?
No, it was impossible for her to trust him. But why did she do this?
Why was she so bold that she was not afraid of him taking action against her children? This was her children, her own flesh and blood. No mother would be so bold as to hand her children over to the enemy, right? Why was Shen Xiaoxiao so assured?
“Why are you so assured when your children will come into contact with me?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the person who had already stood up from the ground. Moreover, the way he asked this question was very serious. It seemed that he was very puzzled.
The linen-colored home clothes on Shen Xiaoxiao looked casual and warm. Yes, warm. Seeing the two children snuggling at her feet and watching her soft words to the two children… He did indeed see a long-lost warmth and warmth.
“Boss Long shouldn’t be so crazy that he would hurt two four-year-old children, right? And I’m not bragging. Unless I nod, Boss Long can’t come in or out.”
Long Xi looked at such a confident and flamboyant woman. He believed what she said, but he was not a person who did not have any ability. It was not impossible for him to get out.
“Of course, if Boss Long wants to fight his way out, it’s not impossible. After all, Boss Long’s skills are one in ten thousand. If there are exceptions in my Dark Empire, then Boss Long is the only exception. However, the outcome is naturally that both sides will suffer losses.”
“I’m really grateful that Xiaoxiao thinks so highly of me. However, this doesn’t explain why you’re so assured to let the children come in contact with me. Xiaoxiao, what are you hiding?”
Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Yan Kuan’s vigilance and wariness would never change with just a few words from her. She thought for a moment and said, “As expected, I can’t hide it from Boss Long. I just wanted to test you a little.”
“Test? What do you want to test?”
“Test to see if Boss Long will be obedient and use my children in exchange for something.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s words made Long Xi’s heart tremble. How would she know? How would she know that he had made a deal with that old woman?
“What do you know?”
His guard was raised. The gaze Long Xi used to look at Shen Xiaoxiao was instantly filled with caution. In his eyes, no matter how familiar Shen Xiaoxiao was to him, he did not have the feelings he had before to rely on.
On the contrary, when Shen Xiaoxiao saw the wariness and caution in his eyes, she actually felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She took a step forward and turned her body slightly to look out of the window, but at the same time, she deliberately avoided Long Xi’s gaze and did not meet his eyes. She was afraid to see the wariness in his eyes, especially when it shot out from Yan Kuan’s eyes.
“That old lady wants my children to be a medicine jar, so I won’t give them to her. You can pass the message to her. Also, tell her to hide well. Once I find any traces of her, I won’t show any mercy to her.”
These words were meant for Long Xi to hear. Not only did she want him to pass the message back, but she also wanted him to know that she was determined. If one day, Long Xi really became obsessed with harming her children, then it didn’t matter if he was Long Xi or Yan Kuan… She would turn hostile and be ruthless. Don’t blame her for being ruthless.
“Why do I feel that Xiaoxiao’s words are similar to what she said to me?”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not look at her, but crossed her arms across her chest. She did not even look at Long Xi and did not continue speaking.
Long Xi was a little unsure of what Shen Xiaoxiao meant. Looking at her back view, this woman was actually very petite, but because she was the new leader of the Dark Empire, she always gave people a strong feeling.
However, at this moment, she was standing outside the window, and for some reason, it made people want to hug her and carefully protect her.
She seemed to be conflicted, as if she was suffering from something in her heart. What kind of woman was she? And that legendary Black Emperor, giving all his wealth to this woman… How much did he love her to be able to do that? And did she love him the same way?
“Black Emperor, he…”
“The rain has stopped. Boss Long, you should leave early. This will only happen once. It won’t happen again.”
Shen Xiaoxiao turned around and left after finishing her story. Long Xi looked at the ever-changing woman, completely puzzled.
What did this woman mean?
Subconsciously, he reached out to pull her back. Shen Xiaoxiao turned around and dodged a hand. Just like that, the two of them suddenly exchanged blows.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao did not know why, but she had turned off the light with a side kick.
Long Xi was a little confused. When Shen Xiaoxiao’s fist came at him again and he grabbed it, he realized that Shen Xiaoxiao was wearing something, something like a ring.
And it was familiar, very familiar. What was going on?
No, it was definitely not right.
At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao was glad that she reacted quickly and turned off the light first. She did not know why she did not want Long Xi to see the ring in her hand at this moment. She hoped that no when… Yan Kuan recognized her… He would not rely on these external things. That it was really because of love, understanding, and familiarity.
She was being pretentious and should not have such thoughts. However, she had such thoughts. This made her feel at a loss and could only follow her heart.
Long Xi stopped in time. He did not know why he suddenly did not dare to look at Shen Xiaoxiao in the dark. There seemed to be an image in his head that was about to explode. At this moment, he felt that his head was starting to hurt again.
He turned around and jumped down from the window without saying a word.
Looking at the person who had suddenly left, Shen Xiaoxiao touched the Obsidian Star in her hand. He had still touched it. Perhaps, he had also noticed it. Otherwise, why would he be hiding in such a sorry state?
Yan Kuan, Long Xi. Long Xi, Yan Kuan.
Sigh…
Everything was fate!
He left smoothly. Just as Shen Xiaoxiao had said, there was no obstruction at all. Sitting in the car, Long Xi violently hit his head to force him to calm down.
As time passed, the raindrops that had just stopped fell on the windshield again, making a cracking sound.
After a long time of relief, he opened his eyes in a daze.
He tore off his gloves with his hands, closed his eyes, and searched for the finger that he had been hiding all this time. It was the same, it was indeed the same. How could it be? What was going on?
Why, why did he have the same feeling?
Why was Shen Xiaoxiao wearing a ring that had the same touch as his? The same pattern, the same material, but he did not see it. It seemed that even the style and color were the same.
The ring in his hand that he could not take off no matter what, was it the same as his? If that was the case, what was the relationship between him and Shen Xiaoxiao?
