Chapter 28 : The killer is coming, the killer is coming

Miss Alice’s taste is really unique…

Just kidding, it’s obvious the two of them fought again, and poor Miss Alice got kicked into the wall by Miss Luo!

She’s not some foolish little girl—there’s no way she’d stupidly believe such an absurd excuse!

“Come on, wife, I’ll take you for a walk.”

Luo Shiyun didn’t really care whether Yijinmo believed it or not; she just took the girl’s hand without hesitation.

At first, she thought she wouldn’t see her wife all day and felt quite down, but unexpectedly, the young lady from the Augustin family actually brought timely rain.

Not only did she deliver her wife right into her arms, but also gave her a free chance to vent her anger.

Well, Miss Alice really is a good person.

Luo Shiyun couldn’t help but praise silently.

“…Is it really okay to just embed her into the wall like that?”

“No problem, students from Wan Zhi Xia don’t die that easily. Let’s go.”

Your school’s grading standard is whether you can die or not?!

Though she wanted to help Miss Alice down from the wall, Yijinmo was half-pushed, half-led away by Luo Shiyun.

One’s a financial backer, and the other is too; she really couldn’t choose…

“Xiaoxin payment received, 100,000 yuan!”

Alright, now there’s a choice.

Miss Alice, thanks for your 300,000, but little Yi will temporarily follow Miss Luo.

I’ll come to keep you company once you wake up.

After silently praying for Huang Mao, still stuck in the wall, Yijinmo happily followed Miss Luo.

But after just a few steps, Yijinmo suddenly stumbled forward.

“What’s wrong?”

Luo Shiyun quickly caught her, her gaze immediately dropping to the girl’s feet.

“It’s nothing, nothing. It’s just these high heels are a bit hard to wear… I just need to get used to them.”

“If they’re uncomfortable, change them. Don’t hurt yourself.”

Without giving her a chance to argue, Luo Shiyun didn’t say a word and wrapped her arms around the girl’s legs, pulling her into a warm embrace.

“Mm…”

Yijinmo instinctively wrapped her hands around Miss Luo’s neck, and the two of them left the bathroom entrance snuggled together, leaving Alice alone, slumped in the wall pondering the meaning of life.

…………

“Thank you, Miss Luo.”

“You don’t have to be so formal with me. I’m here to marry you. Before you say yes to my proposal, I’ll always treat you the same.”

“Oh, so that means after I agree, you won’t treat me like this anymore?”

“Of course. After you say yes, you’re my wife. Then I can openly cherish you.”

“You’re quite the smooth talker.”

The girl laughed and lifted her foot, wiggling it in front of Luo Shiyun, who wasn’t annoyed at all but grabbed that delicate jade foot and gently slipped it into a more comfortable low-heeled shoe.

Not taking the chance to give a few playful licks was already her greatest restraint.

“Much better, right?”

“Mm-hmm.”

With the shoe changed, Yijinmo felt much lighter and more at ease, no longer walking so stiffly.

Clearly, she couldn’t handle sky-high heels—only mature women like Sister Ji or Madame Celine could pull those off gracefully.

Naturally reaching out her hand, which Miss Luo intuitively caught.

“So, was it Miss Alice who invited you here?”

“More or less. She transferred me money like you did, so I couldn’t exactly say no…”

“Xiaoxin payment received…”

“Hey, wait, wait, enough! Even if you give me that money, it’s useless!”

Quickly stopping Luo Shiyun from pulling out her phone.

She was definitely short on cash, but it was a matter of timing—knowing the difference between an urgent need and a slow burn, early and late shortages.

She needed to spend every bit in her account before the bad luck hit; otherwise, she’d lose so badly her own mother wouldn’t recognize her.

“Alright, if you don’t want it.”

Seeing her wife so firmly refuse, Luo Shiyun didn’t push and put the phone away.

“Then just come with me. How about I take you to my place later?”

“No need. If I get home early, I probably have to go back to the bar. There’s some stuff going on at my place too. Staying at your place all the time wouldn’t be good.”

“I don’t mind.”

I mind!

I’m here to scam money, not to give myself away.

Though Yijinmo trusted Miss Luo wasn’t the type to take advantage of her while she was asleep, she still feared the slow boil—the possibility of unintentionally falling for her.

Such things that would delay a proper young lady’s life?

No way, no way!

“If I remember correctly, there’s a banquet before the meeting starts. Should I take you up to find a seat?”

“…I actually just came from there.”

“Then where to now?”

“Uh… I’ll be honest with you, Miss Luo. I asked Miss Alice to take me to sit in on the meeting, so she was planning to bring me back down to take a look. I didn’t expect to run into you there.”

I see.

She understood.

“Then I’ll carry on her wishes.”

Already assuming it was a dying wish…

Tugging at the corner of her mouth, Yijinmo quickly adjusted her expression.

“Wife, what are you interested in that you want to join this kind of meeting?”

After all, Yijinmo was just a small-time hostess—showing up at a high-society business meeting was unusual for her.

“Ah, that… I’ve never been before. I just heard it’s all very high-class, so I was curious.”

Making up excuses on the spot was still easy for Yijinmo; otherwise, how could she have navigated smoothly among all those beautiful girls without any trouble?

“I understand.”

“Good. Then stick with me, my lady wife. I’ll arrange everything.”

Saying so, she moved closer to Yijinmo and deliberately placed a hand on the girl’s slim waist.

Yijinmo didn’t resist, allowing herself to be led… she was already used to the faint fragrance on Luo Shiyun—at least it no longer made her want to throw up like before.

But behind them, at the end of the corridor, a pitch-black, dangerous figure emerged from the shadows.

Eyes gleaming from beneath a hood, fixed unblinkingly on the unsuspecting pair.

Such tempting prey—like innocent little white rabbits, completely unaware of the death about to come, full of weaknesses.

Alright, to be precise, one is a little white rabbit, the other a big white rabbit.

But that doesn’t change the outcome.

Without a sound, she moved.

Her body dissolving into mist, naturally drifting with the wind, rushing toward the two girls.

In just half a second, she had seized the perfect angle to strike!

Got it!

The mist reformed into a figure, the assassin leapt from above, already envisioning the successful mission—the girls collapsing in a pool of blood!

Wait!!

The dagger suddenly froze midair, as if forcibly stopped by some power… and that was just the beginning.

A tingling sensation spread throughout her body, her limbs going limp, and she silently collapsed to the ground.

Meanwhile, her targets had already left the corridor laughing and chatting.

(That was close. If I hadn’t acted fast, Miss Luo would have been hurt.)

(That was close. If I hadn’t acted fast, my lady wife would have been hurt.)

(But did that person skip meals? How could the dagger get stuck halfway?)

(But did that person skip meals? I blocked her and she just went limp?)

Forget it, whatever.

Staying with Miss Luo (my wife) is the most important thing.
