Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Okay, I’ll wait for you!

Jiangzhou Forest Park!

Shen Qingzhi arrived at their agreed-upon destination, but as she scanned her surroundings, she couldn’t spot Su Luo anywhere.

This caused Shen Qingzhi’s exceptionally beautiful brows to knit ever so slightly.

Where was Su Luo?

Just then, a voice reached her ears, "Look up, towards the treetops!"

Shen Qingzhi looked up and finally noticed a figure in the dense foliage of the nearby tree, barely visible.

Following that, the figure leapt down.

Without waiting for her consent, Su Luo scooped her up at the waist and, with a leap, carried her up the towering tree where they sat side by side on a thick branch.

The dense leaves concealed them from view, and unless someone looked very closely from below, they would remain unnoticed.

Shen Qingzhi was somewhat astonished; thinking back for a moment, she felt that Su Luo’s strength seemed to have made a sudden, impressive improvement.

Before Shen Qingzhi could even speak, Su Luo took out a jade bracelet from his pocket, "Aunt Shen, a gift for you!"

Shen Qingzhi looked at Su Luo, somewhat surprised, then smiled, "Where did you buy this? The jade is indeed of good quality, but the craftsmanship is rather rough—it’s a bit of a shame for the jade."

Su Luo pouted, "If you don’t like it, then I’ll take it back."

Shen Qingzhi snatched it away quickly, retorting, "Since when do you take back a gift you’ve given?"

"Aren’t you complaining about the rough craftsmanship?" Su Luo said with a wry smile.

Shen Qingzhi replied with a laugh, "I said the craftsmanship was rough, which wasted the jade, but I never said that I didn’t appreciate it."

"I made it myself," Su Luo said.

Shen Qingzhi was taken aback, then she laughed again, "No wonder the workmanship is mediocre!" But before Su Luo could react, she added, "But your aunt really likes it."

Su Luo also grinned, "As long as you like it. Aunt Shen, you should keep this bracelet close to you. At a critical moment, it may protect you."

"Alright," Shen Qingzhi didn’t ask why a bracelet would be able to protect her, she just agreed.

Then she added, "This is the first time I’ve ever sat in a tree, and it’s so high up, too."

"Aunt Shen, are you afraid of heights?" Su Luo turned his head to look at Shen Qingzhi and asked.

Instead of answering, Shen Qingzhi countered, "Do you hope that I’m afraid, or that I’m not afraid?"

"I hope you’re afraid so I can protect you openly, but I also hope you’re not, as that would mean I’ve made a mistake by bringing you up to sit so high in this tree," Su Luo said with a smile.

After a short silence, Shen Qingzhi said, "Just protect your aunt a bit and don’t let me fall."

Su Luo flashed a grin, "You got it."

He promptly moved closer, pressing up beside Shen Qingzhi and casually wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her close.

Shen Qingzhi’s body trembled for a moment before she relaxed again, then teased, "I said to keep an eye on me, not to hold me. Are you taking advantage of the situation?"

"I’m not just thinking of taking advantage here, I’d like to take full advantage and devour you if I could," Su Luo said with a wicked smile, but indeed, he only held her waist and did nothing more excessive.

Shen Qingzhi laughed so hard she shook, "Even if I’m willing, what could you do up here in mid-air?"

Su Luo expressed his frustration, "If only I’d chosen a better spot."

Shen Qingzhi’s smile gradually faded, her voice tender, "No, this is quite nice here!"

After another pause, Su Luo said, "Aunt Shen, there will come a day when I’ll stand by your side openly, to protect you. That day won’t be too far off."

Shen Qingzhi nodded lightly, "I believe you can do it."

Suddenly, Su Luo laughed again, "Of course, apart from openly protecting you, I also want to marry you officially, sleep with you, and declare to the whole world that you are my woman."

Shen Qingzhi gave him a sidelong glance.

Su Luo: "What does that look mean, Aunt Shen? Don’t forget our agreement."

Shen Qingzhi said irritably, "Fine, I’ll wait for you!"

After a pause, her face turned slightly red, and her voice became a bit sultry, "Wait for you to come sleep with me."

...

That very noon, Su Luo, along with Ren Yu and An Ran, took a flight to Jinling.

Upon arriving in Jinling, they checked into the hotel specially arranged for the Southern Martial Association competition.

After dinner.

Su Luo returned to his room.

He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at Jinling’s night scene.

"Jinling... Sister Yi is from Jinling, and she seems unfazed by martial arts and even some strange techniques. What kind of background does Sister Yi have?"

Su Luo thought to himself.

In his hand was a file.

It was none other than the Southern Martial Association’s data on the other provinces’ martial arts teams.

The page that was open was the data on the Jinling team.

Su Luo’s gaze returned to a name—"Xia Lianyun."

[Xia Lianyun, male, twenty-nine years old, legitimate eldest son of the Jinling Xia Family, extremely high martial arts talent, Ninth Stage of Inner Strength...]

"Jinling Xia Family!"

"Xia Yi!"

"Is it just a coincidence, or is there... some connection?"

Su Luo thought to himself.

He felt that the likelihood of Xia Yi coming from the Jinling Xia Family was very slim, but since they both have the surname "Xia" and Xia Yi seemed unsurprised by the power of martial arts, it made Su Luo think there might be a connection.

Eventually, Su Luo called An Ran.

"An Ran, can I ask you about something?" Su Luo asked politely.

In only about ten seconds or so, there was knocking at Su Luo’s door.

Su Luo opened the door, and there stood the long-legged beauty An Ran, blinking her large eyes at the entrance with a sweet smile, "Mr. Su Luo, I am delighted to serve you."

Su Luo quickly stepped aside to welcome An Ran in.

"Your efficiency is really high!" Su Luo praised.

"I am a secretary, after all! There’s a saying that goes, ’The secretary does the work, but if there’s no work, do the secretary.’ As your secretary, I naturally have to solve your problems immediately and with the utmost speed," An Ran said cheerfully.

But this almost made Su Luo spray out his water.

The secretary does the work, but if there’s no work, do the secretary!

He never expected that these words would come from the mouth of An Ran, who seemed like a sweet, long-legged beauty, and that she would say them so naturally.

The key was that she actually was his secretary.

Was she hinting at something?

Su Luo thought about Ren Yu’s private words to him, suggesting that this girl might have a close relationship with President Cui Fengyi. Initially, he thought An Ran might be Cui Fengyi’s junior relative or something of the sort.

Could it be that there was another possibility, that An Ran was not Cui Fengyi’s junior relative but Cui Fengyi’s young lover?

Cui Fengyi is a lesbian?

Su Luo’s thoughts suddenly began to veer off course.
