Chapter 552: Chapter 0554: Spicy to the Max

Mu Qing’s cheeks flushed momentarily, and she suddenly lowered her head shyly, murmuring, "Maybe Mr. Chu, you guys should step out first."

She seemed to have guessed what Zhao Wuji was planning to do, appearing as shy as a maiden who had yet to be married.

Mu Qing knew that Zhao Wuji wanted to propose to her.

Initially, she used her own health as a reason to reject Zhao Wuji.

Although she still harbored affection for Zhao Wuji, her physical condition at that time was uncertain, not knowing how long she might live. But now, things were different.

Her legs had healed, the Insect Poisonous Insect inside her body had been completely expelled, and she had regained the appearance of a normal person. If Zhao Wuji were to propose again, she would find no reason to refuse.

However, she was already forty years old and felt embarrassed to accept Zhao Wuji’s proposal in front of these youngsters.

Zhao Wuji also nodded in agreement, his eyes pleading as he looked at Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian. He could hardly wait any longer, having finally reached this day.

Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian exchanged a glance and silently walked out.

Nangong Man Sha didn’t quite understand the situation between Zhao Wuji and Mu Qing. She came here to meet with Chu Ge, and since he was now free, she immediately seized the opportunity to discuss her own matters, especially since her grandfather was still in the intensive care unit.

When Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian left the villa, they admired the surrounding scenery which was not as fresh as in Su City, nor was the Spiritual Energy as abundant.

However, the green landscaping here was better than in Su City.

Chu Ge stood in the courtyard, observing the flowers and plants that were evidently tended by Madam Mu Qing.

"Mr. Chu," Nangong Man Sha also walked out from the living room, showing no trace of having recently fainted thanks to Chu Ge’s earlier infusion of True Qi into her body.

"Miss Man Sha, how do you feel now?" Chu Ge asked, having been occupied with treating Mu Qing and consequently forgetting to inquire about Nangong Man Sha’s condition.

Nangong Man Sha smiled, her red lips curving slightly, "With Mr. Chu here, of course, I’m fine."

Chu Ge smiled too, his hands in his pockets, noticing something different about Nangong Man Sha this time.

She was not sure whether it was due to Chu Ge’s increased power or something else, but she felt the aura of superiority around him growing more intense.

Such a man, coupled with a handsome face, was bound to make hearts flutter.

Unknown to Chu Ge what Nangong Man Sha was thinking, he took out a Small Jade Bottle from his pocket and handed it to her, "The Spiritual Liquid in this Jade Bottle was just refined by me over the past few days. Although not much, it should last until I go to Beijing."

Upon hearing that Chu Ge was planning to go to Beijing, Nangong Man Sha’s eyes lit up with a peculiar brilliance, "When are you planning to go to Beijing, Mr. Chu? I can arrange someone to pick you up."

Chu Ge looked at the sky, which was clear and vast today. He stood in a cool spot in the shade, not feeling too hot.

"I need to stop by Shanghai first."

Chu Ge said.

A hint of playful mockery flashed across Nangong Man Sha’s elaborately made-up face as she smiled, "Is it to see your fiancée?"

Chu Ge glanced at her, chuckled softly, and nodded. "Not just to see her, there are also some matters I need to clarify."

Going to Beijing is not the same as going to a small place like Su City.

Before he went to Beijing, he naturally had to make thorough preparations. He planned to expand his base in Shanghai so that he could feel a sense of belonging wherever he went.

The funding for this base mainly came from the shares given to him by the Four Great Families and Mu Bingtong in Shanghai; the annual dividends were more than enough to expand his influence.

He didn’t intend to expand his gang, feeling that having a gang would mean having responsibilities. He thought that wandering the world of martial arts alone was quite good.

However, while wandering, he still needed to develop loyal people like Huo Tianqian who would be willing to die for him.

A glimmer appeared in Nangong Man Sha’s eyes, "If Mr. Chu does not stay long in Shanghai, I can go back to Shanghai with Mr. Chu."

Chu Ge looked at her skeptically, "Don’t you need to rush to deliver medicine to your grandfather?"

Nangong Man Sha coughed lightly, smiled and said, "My grandfather is currently in the ICU; his life is not in immediate danger."

Chu Ge knew Nangong Man Sha was worried that he might get held up in Shanghai again due to some issues, so he said, "Don’t worry, I won’t be delayed for too long, just three or four days at most. Besides, the Spiritual Liquid in this bottle is only enough for three or four days. After your grandfather finishes using this Spiritual Liquid, I will head to Beijing."

Huo Tianqian had been quietly listening all this time. Hearing Chu Ge mention the exact time of leaving for Beijing, he couldn’t help but offer, "Mr. Chu, may I accompany you to Beijing as well? It would be convenient to have someone to take care of you."

As soon as Huo Tianqian said this, Nangong Man Sha was displeased, she crossed her arms and her face showed a hint of displeasure, "Mr. Huo, I don’t like what you just said. Do you think our Nangong family would neglect Mr. Chu?"

"No, no... that’s not what I meant."

"So, you think Nangong Man Sha can’t take care of people?"

Nangong Man Sha pressed step by step.

Huo Tianqian knew he had misspoken, hastily smiled apologetically, "Miss Man Sha, you misunderstood, with you taking care of Mr. Chu, I would be completely reassured."

Nangong Man Sha snorted lightly. She rolled her eyes at Huo Tianqian, clearly angry, yet because she often socializes in upper-class society, even her anger became a form of coquetry.

This made Huo Tianqian’s heart flutter.

However, he quickly snapped back to reality. Even though he harbored desires, he lacked the courage.

He resigned himself to the situation, closed his eyes, and moved aside, not speaking further.

If he continued to stay around Nangong Man Sha, he was sure to have a nosebleed.

Huo Tianqian was very curious about how Chu Ge’s stability could be so strong, having seen Nangong Man Sha flirt with Chu Ge not just once.

Although Nangong Man Sha was dressed less provocatively today, her casual outfit was still tight-fitting, perfectly showcasing her graceful figure.

Absolutely sizzling.

Yet, Chu Ge was like a block of wood, failing to understand the hints she was dropping.

Huo Tianqian watched anxiously from aside.

There’s a saying, isn’t there? The emperor is not in a hurry but the eunuch is!

That’s exactly what Huo Tianqian was doing!
