It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Did you come here just to make fun of me? Who gave you this bad habit?

Ok, labeled as a bad woman.

Xu Shi never denied that he was petty, even if you had no problem, he might find some to deal with you, let alone a guy who took the initiative to come and provoke him.

Anyway, there are still some things to deal with the Vatican, and he will deal with them slowly when the time comes, so he is not in a hurry.

As he was thinking this, he turned around and saw that the girls were looking at him with strange eyes.

"What? You guys are coming too?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious about why you're so lucky in love. Every pretty girl wants to talk to you."

It was naturally Xie Qingyan who said the yin and yang words, and his expression was exactly the same as the reactions of Xia Wuyou and the others when he was arranging the little empress.

"Which eye of yours can tell that this is romantic luck?"

Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her, "Is this the legendary doctor who doesn't treat himself?"

"Is not it?"

The bitch retorted, "I'm afraid you already have some thoughts about her, right?"

"Does wanting to beat her up count as an idea?"

Xu Shi said unhappily, "Am I that kind of person? Besides, red hair isn't my type, right?"

This statement was obviously not convincing, and everyone still had an expression of "Really? I don't believe it."

It's not their fault. When he talked about the little queen Dongfang Xiao, he said the same thing. Who knew that the other party was exactly like what he described? Now I have to doubt you.

"……OK!"

Being stared at by them made Xu Shi feel annoyed and inexplicably angry. "I'm going to make this clear today!"

"Unless she clasps her hands behind her back and kneels before me begging me to do something to her, don't even think about it, is that okay?!"

Chapter 230 Will You Cry for Me If I Die?

Going out to sea is actually a very boring thing, and it becomes more so the longer the time.

The main reason was that before finding the target of Poseidon, there was nothing to do. Even because of the nature of the sea, it was not safe to stay on the deck for a long time, and most of the time everyone had to stay in the cabin.

The royal family and the Holy See were secretly competing with each other. Both sides were trying their best to find the sea god before the other and take all the credit.

It’s a pity that the shipbuilding level of the Hualan Empire is just like that. Even if they sprint, their speed cannot match that of Xu Shi’s two ships.

However, Xu Shi was relieved and deliberately slowed down the speed, trying to keep up with them.

In this kind of situation, it's not the one who arrives first who gets rewarded. Instead, it's easy for someone to take advantage of the situation. The three parties each have their own ideas, and only by tying them together can he make better use of them.

So he just threw a few assignments at his stupid apprentice, and then stayed in the captain's room, observing the situation on the sea idly.

"...You're not still angry, are you?"

When I was bored, Xie Qingyan's voice came from behind me, "You seem to be in a bad mood."

There was a hint of playfulness in the question, and it was naturally referring to the flag he had set in a rage before going out to sea.

"Isn't it all because of you guys?"

Xu Shi turned his head and glanced at her, pretending to be indignant. He did not forget that it was that bitch who was the first to add fuel to the fire.

"Then I apologize to you?"

Xie Qingyan did not deny it, but came close to him with a smile, exhaling sweetly and said, "And I think Director Xu is not really so petty, right?"

"You know again?"

Xu Shi snorted, "If you really want to apologize, just show me your body. Just a few words of understatement are not enough for me."

"Really want to see it?"

Xie Qingyan was not annoyed by his teasing. He symbolically pulled down his collar, revealing a small piece of white. "Here, is that enough?"

"Oh? Such a nice attitude?"

Xu Shi was a little surprised that she was so humble. This is not like you, the arrogant Chairman Xie.

But this person has always been shameless. When the other party expressed his attitude, he took advantage of the situation and stretched out his hands, posing a lustful look, "Come, let me see if your development is normal."

"Humph, that's a nice thought."

The bitch took a step back and quickly fixed her clothes to prevent him from succeeding. "I told you you're fat and you're panting... Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Anyway, she, or everyone knows it, that this girl is very hypocritical, always playing both sides. If she really wants to conquer someone, she usually won't take the initiative to say it, but likes to hint at others and then take action.

If something really happens at that time, he will have something to say, saying, "You guys forced me to do this, I had no choice, oh, I'm really sorry" or something like that... You've figured it all out.

As for what he said, it might not be that he said it out of anger - if it was someone else, you would just treat it as a flag. But if it was Xu Shi's words, Xie Qingyan really didn't doubt that he had the ability to do so.

It can even be said that he believed it without a doubt. As long as he wanted, it would not be difficult to make Qin Yiyan kneel on the ground and beg him with his hands tied behind his back. There were precedents for this.

The most obvious one is probably Xia Wuyou. Everyone saw that he was resistant at the beginning, but now he is completely obedient and behaves like a good boy.

"…No matter what you say, I really don't like red hair."

Xu Shi paused, no longer had a stern face, laughed and waved his hand.

Whether he said this to take advantage of others or not is another matter for now, but it is true that he was not angry.

Or maybe he just said it on purpose, just to liven up the atmosphere.

Anyway, he did not deny that ever since the matter of Night Crime City was settled, he felt much more at ease and enjoyed spending time with the girls.

Regardless of whether they devote themselves voluntarily or correct themselves passively, they are all people who are devoted to him. If you really want to say it, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are family. If there is any calculation, it should not fall on them. There is nothing wrong with laughing and joking.

Of course, it’s not right to say that he has no ulterior motives at all. For example, now, it’s obvious that he deliberately puts on such an attitude and sets a trap for girls to fall into. As a husband, I’m very angry, come and coax me.

"It's better if you don't like her."

Xie Qingyan saw through it but didn't say anything. He was just trying to coax you. "It just so happens that I don't like her either."

Or it would be better to say that she didn't like anyone else around Xu Shi, not even potentially. After all, she wasn't as open-minded as other people. This mentality originated from the sense of crisis of her unstable status - she knew in her heart that she and Xu Shi were at most lovers, and most likely not yet full lovers, which was far from the level of other people.

What, you mean Xia Ke'an?

That old ■■...that old cucumber painted green can follow Xu Shi around and call him daddy every day. This is something that no one else can do.

But she didn't show any anger on the surface even though she was thinking this. Instead, she produced a bottle of red wine like a magic trick and said, "Would you like to have a drink? I've never had a drink with you before."

"No way?"

Xu Shi corrected him in a nonchalant way, "Didn't we drink and chat happily when we were discussing the cooperation of "Twins"? I remember Qingyan, you drank a bottle and a half in one breath."

"…That was just a business affair, it doesn't count."

The bitch rolled her eyes at him. "Don't they say drinking is for talking? Have we ever talked like this? No?"

"Oh~~"

Xu Shi stretched out the last syllable, looking as if he had suddenly realized something.

Xie Qingyan finally realized that he was being led by the nose again...

She filled the glass unhappily, "Just tell me whether you want to drink or not? I'll give you a drink!"

"Drink, drink, drink."

Xu Shi smiled happily, raised his hands in surrender, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

I'm just teasing you, why are you so anxious?

The wine was good. No one intended to treat themselves badly before leaving Night Sin City, and the supplies on the ship were all high-quality goods.

But he was more curious about another thing, "Why did you suddenly want to talk to me?"

As we all know, having a heart-to-heart talk with Xu Shi is often a very dangerous thing, and if you are not careful you may fall into a ditch.

“…I can’t really tell.”

Hearing him ask this, Xie Qingyan suddenly felt a little disappointed, "Maybe it's because... of what you said before you set off?"

"Which part do you mean?"

Xu Shi blinked, "The part where I asked Wuyou to change clothes?"

"It's the part where you say who you miss."

The bitch rarely quarreled with him, and her tone became more and more melancholy. "When you were talking, I thought about it, but when I turned around, I found that... I don't have anyone to miss."

"My father passed away a long time ago. As for the other senior officials in Prism... I won't hide it from you. In my eyes, they are just chess pieces."

She poured herself a full cup as well. "It's the same with everyone else. They're all just using their connections. How sincere can they be?"

"After all the calculations, it seems that Shanshan is the only one who is close to me. That little girl always likes to argue with me and is not obedient at all."

"so?"

Xu Shi asked with great interest.

"So I was thinking, I have no one to miss, so on the other hand, will no one miss me?"

Xie Qingyan sighed and stretched out his fingers to draw circles on the wall of the wine glass.

Seeing her like this, Xu Shi also restrained his frivolousness and spoke in a more serious tone, "Don't be so arbitrary, there are still people who care about you."

"Who?"

"me."

Xu Shi smiled and said, "My fiancée is as beautiful as a flower, I certainly don't want to see anything happen to her."

“…Is this considered comfort?”

“Not entirely.”

"Yes."

Xie Qingyan smiled, but there was bitterness in his smile.

The four words "not completely" perfectly summarize the relationship between her and Xu Shi.

He could talk to me like anyone else, and I could have some sarcastic arguments with him from time to time, but the rift was still there, between the two of us, and it could not be filled.

That's why she was jealous, jealous that other girls could play and fight around him without any burden, because they all had a clear conscience, right?

She was even jealous of Xu Shi. This bastard had someone who cared about him, and there were also people who cared about him, such as those in Night Sin City. I'm afraid they all prayed for his safe return.

Only Xie Qingyan was an exception. She could not completely integrate into the society no matter what. Her mentality towards Xu Shishi was always like a roller coaster. Sometimes it was very good, but as long as she was slightly provoked, it would take a sharp turn for the worse.

For example, last time when Jiang Chengcheng fought back, if it was anyone else, I'm afraid no one would be angry, because they wouldn't worry that Xu Shi would abandon them one day, which is something that would never happen.

But she would, she has always had this worry, because she just lied and said that there was no one to worry about, but in fact, wasn't the man in front of her the one?

At least she couldn't hide it from herself. She just couldn't leave him now, or she didn't want to give him up anymore. She couldn't put on airs in front of him. She would be happy to hear him say that he wanted to watch the stars with her, and she would even be jealous of him.

But with that barrier in front of them, she and Xu Shi would never be able to be completely honest with each other. This state of being stuck in her heart made it difficult for her to breathe.

For a moment, she wanted to get herself completely drunk, and then, while drunk, grab this bastard by the collar and ask him what she wanted to do.

But she eventually gave up the idea, because she knew that this crack was created by her own hands, and the answer to this question was the same as Xu Shi had said before, he didn't know.

She herself doesn't know, and no one knows.

"I'm afraid no one would care if I died, right?"

Thinking of this, she felt relieved. "I know how many people call me a female devil behind my back."

"Don't say such things. It's unlucky."

Xu Shi blinked his eyes. My goodness, the Emo that everyone just saw was just evocative of the scene, but you are so addicted to it that you can’t get out of it?

But he also knew why the other party had such a mentality, it was a pity that he really couldn't answer it.

Maybe having sex would help? It's true that one shot can solve all your problems... But that only works temporarily, it can't solve the problem fundamentally, and it will backfire over time.

He himself could not deny that the relationship between him and Xie Qingyan was too weird. He could bully this bitch without any burden, or say "Let this rose shed all its thorns by itself."

But looking at the other person's current appearance, he suddenly felt a little unsure. Even if she really changed as he wished, could he completely let go of their past rifts?

Originally he thought it was possible, but now...it's hard to say.
