One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

"Arrange a flight for me first thing tomorrow morning. I'm taking this order!"

Chen Qi immediately began to rub his hands together in anticipation.

"Chen Qi, this incident happened in Lu Dong. Lu Dong's father is a man who cares about his reputation. He's probably already sent temporary workers to chase after them. If we unfortunately run into them... give them some face!"

Xu Xiang said earnestly.

(Holy crap, I moved today. I thought it would only take two or three hours, but it took all day. I just got back after dinner. Sorry. I'll start typing now, as much as I can. I'll add more tomorrow. I'm so sorry!!)

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Chen Qi and Xia He!

"...So if Lu Dong's temporary workers arrive, this million will be given to them?"

Chen Qi pursed his lips.

"Chen Qi, you should know that it's not easy for you, A Wu, and Duo'er to protect all three of you at the same time. I need every bit of connections and face I have!"

Xu Xiang said earnestly.

"...Understood. While I'm away, I'll have Chen Duo keep an eye on Zhang Chulan!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi walked over, patted Xu Xiang on the shoulder, and nodded in agreement.

Xu San and Xu Si listened silently from the side.

"The fish is ready! Chen Duo, take the rice cooker out, dinner's ready!"

At this moment, Sister Bao'er came out carrying a bowl of fragrant kimchi fish.

"Mmm, this kimchi smells so good! It tastes just like the kimchi my grandma used to make!"

Xu San asked in surprise.

"Of course, A-Wu can learn anything perfectly!"

Xu Xiang smiled.

"Dad, what do you mean? Could it be that the baby learned this from Grandma?"

Xu Si raised an eyebrow.

Xu San and Xu Si were unaware of Feng Baobao's story with the Xu family. Xu Xiang thought they were both young and not discreet.

So I haven't told them both.

They met Feng Baobao and Chen Qi more than 20 years ago when they were still young. More than 20 years have passed, and Feng Baobao has changed her identity several times.

Chen Qi is one of them.

They had made some guesses in their minds, thinking that Chen Qi and Feng Baobao were both from a close family to the Xu family, and that they had cultivated some special technique that could slow down aging.

This has happened before in the world of supernatural beings as well.

Dinner table

Facing a dozen or so dishes, everyone smiled as they looked at the happy Feng Baobao.

"Chen Qi, from now on you'll be in charge of keeping an eye on him. That kid's a bit dim-witted, so make sure no one kills him!"

Feng Baobao took a bottle of Moutai, chopped the neck of the bottle open with a karate chop, inserted a straw, and drank while giving instructions.

"...Baby, what's been your mindset all these years, guarding that kid? And I even prepared Erguotou for you, do you understand what I mean by drinking it?"

Chen Qi glanced at the Moutai in Feng Baobao's hand with a touch of heartache.

Feng Baobao drinking Moutai—pure waste!

"It tastes pretty good!"

Feng Baobao said cutely.

"..."

Chen Qi was speechless, but then he smiled and said:

"Don't worry, baby, I'll keep an eye on things. That brat Zhang Chulan won't die!"

"Okay, then I'm relieved. Gouwazi said he'd assign me a task, and I'm ready to go and beat someone up!"

Feng Baobao nodded.

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't be scared, baby. Come on, baby, let's have a drink!"

Xu Si, who was always carefree, chuckled, clinked his small cup against Feng Baobao's, and then took a small sip.

"No rush, there's so much food! I've been so busy these past two years that I haven't had a taste of Ah Wu's cooking in a long time. Let's eat and drink!"

Xu Xiang picked up his chopsticks and said.

"it is good!"

Everyone started eating.

I must say, Feng Baobao's cooking skills are really good, and she makes a lot of things herself.

She raised the chickens, and she also put fish fry into the small pond in front of the villa and then left it unattended. Now, there are actually a lot of fish in it.

The scallions, ginger, garlic, cabbage, tomatoes, and peppers were all grown by her in a plot of land behind the villa.

They're practically raising pigs.

She also makes her own pickled vegetables, stuffs cured meat and sausages, and smokes them herself.

"What a wonderful girl, but why doesn't anyone have feelings for her?"

Xu Si couldn't help but sigh.

"Anyone who dares to have designs on the baby, I'll strangle them!"

Chen Qi said fiercely.

"Brother, are you going on a mission tomorrow?"

Chen Duo ate in small bites and didn't drink any alcohol.

"Yes, you keep an eye on Zhang Chulan for me. I'll be back in two days at most. Also, please help me fool the system when they take attendance at school!"

Chen Qi nodded.

"Okay, but can you come with me to see a movie when we get back? I've picked another one!"

Chen Duo didn't say much. She was always willing to do whatever Chen Qi asked her to do.

"Sure, no problem. I'll stay with you whenever there's no mission!"

Chen Qi immediately agreed.

"Brother, you said yes? I'm so happy!"

Chen Duo said directly.

"I always keep my word!"

Chen Qi cast a tender and loving look at Chen Duo.

"Come on, come on, let's chat, eat, and keep drinking!"

Xu Si was very good at livening up the atmosphere at the dinner table, ensuring the atmosphere wouldn't get dull, and he could persuade the girls to drink a lot of alcohol.

This is also why Chen Qi enjoys going out with Xu Si to various events.

"Drink! Everyone drink!"

Xu Xiang also seemed very happy.

The meal was very enjoyable, and everyone drank quite a bit.

However, in the end, Xu Xiang and his two sons did not stay there. Instead, they called a driver to pick them up and take them back to their company residence.

. . . .

夜晚

Chen Qi leaned back in the rocking chair on the balcony, looking at the moon and stars in the sky, thinking about all sorts of random things.

"Handsome young man, do you feel lonely at night when you're alone?"

A gentle breeze swept by.

Xia He was already standing in front of Chen Qi at some point, bending down towards him, and gently lifting his chin with her long, slender hand.

Extremely alluring.

"It's past midnight, it's not your birthday anymore!"

Chen Qi raised an eyebrow and said.

"You really have a heart of stone. I never thought you would just let Chen Duo take you away like that at the bar. I was heartbroken for a long time, and it took me a long time to muster up the courage to come back to you!"

Xia He's delicate, boneless body slid onto Chen Qi, and their eyes met.

The alluring aura emanating from her even made Chen Qi's heart flutter.

"Is something wrong?"

Chen Qi asked.

"...Chen Qi, do you really have to do this?"

Xia He gently bit her rosy lips and said.

"And what about you? Do you really have to be like this? With that... "

Chen Qi did not continue.

"Does she look like a slut? Or a whore?"

Xia He raised an eyebrow.

"I don't care. If you want to play the slut, then I'll be the playboy. We're just mutually benefiting. But I know in my heart that back then, between you and me... that was your first time!"

Chen Qi did not avoid Xia He's gaze at all.

"Just because I joined Quanxing? And you're an employee of the company?"

Xia He kept a close eye on Chen Qi.

"Let me be frank with you about this. I don't know what forced or compelling reason you had to get involved with those three guys, but you should have seen a lot about their behavior over the past year or so. They are reckless and disregard human life. You are completely incompatible with them!"

"Whatever the reason, just tell me if you want it, and I'll take care of it for you. Killing all three of them wouldn't be a problem!"

Chen Qi said seriously.

"..."

Xia He fell silent, then gently rested her head on Chen Qi's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling the warmth and security he gave her.

This is the most relaxed moment for Xia He.

"Still not planning to make a decision?"

Chen Qi waited for a while but didn't hear Xia He's response, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Chen Qi, today is my birthday. Today, I don't want to think about anything else. I just want to enjoy this peace with you. Is that okay?"

Xia He looked up at Chen Qi, who was very close to her, with a pleading look in her eyes.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Farewell to Xia He, Mission Objective!

"....good!"

Chen Qi and Xia He gazed at each other intently for a while, and finally, Chen Qi softened and nodded in agreement.

"My little brother, you're so sweet. Can I give you a kiss?"

Upon hearing this, Xia He's eyes immediately softened, her slender arms sliding behind Chen Qi's waist, and her alluring red lips slowly pressed against his.

Her alluring eyes stared at Chen Qi, making his blood boil.

"They... um!"

Seeing this, Chen Qi was about to lose his temper, but when he thought of Feng Baobao and Chen Duo who were also in the house not far away, he immediately wanted to offer his opinion.

But Xia He, disregarding everything, sealed her lips with a kiss.
