"Let's go."
"To the airport."
Lin Yu rested his hands behind his head, acting like a boss as he casually gave orders to Qing Mo.
Seeing him like this, anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one between the two of them with wealth rivaling a nation.
Qing Mo didn't say much. She obediently followed Lin Yu's words, smoothly starting the car, completely unbothered by his tone that sounded like he was bossing around an underling.
Or rather.
Subconsciously, she even hoped Lin Yu would be a bit more domineering and unreasonable.
It couldn't be helped.
Her kink was just wired that way.
Actually, sometimes Qing Mo felt quite helpless about it too.
After all, this dark little quirk really didn't match her status and position at all!
But then again.
Sometimes...
This feeling was actually quite fascinating...
...
The car slowly merged into the traffic and drove smoothly.
Qing Mo held the steering wheel, looking straight ahead, and asked in a casual tone:
"About those two."
"When do you plan to go and pacify them?"
Lin Yu had been holding his phone, laughing like an idiot while scrolling through mindless short videos.
The moment he heard Qing Mo's question, his amusement vanished instantly.
Tearing his gaze away from the phone screen, Lin Yu looked up. His body slumped into the passenger seat as if he had suddenly deflated, his eyes gazing forward with melancholy.
Yeah.
Such a huge matter definitely couldn't be settled just over the phone.
Lin Yu understood this well enough.
With such a massive mess happening.
If he wanted to coax the two of them.
He would at least need to meet them, give them gifts, treat them to big meals, swear his loyalty, plus put in some hard work at night—and repeat this whole routine several times over.
But right now, Su Yuyao couldn't be left alone.
As for Tang Manman and Xia Muzhu...
...
Thinking of those two, Lin Yu couldn't help but raise a hand to rub his forehead.
Honestly speaking.
Lin Yu barely had the face to go see them right now.
To think that after so many years had passed.
And after experiencing so many messy situations.
Was he actually still just a thin-skinned teenager?
Lin Yu felt a bit wistful for a moment.
???
What do you mean I barely possess the absolute minimum bottom line of being a human?
Since when was the bottom line for humanity set so high?
Stomping that inner voice down into the dirt, Lin Yu thought for a moment, finally let out a soft sigh, and said rather helplessly:
"I don't know either."
"I'll have to see when I have the time."
"It's better to deal with this kind of thing as soon as possible,"
Qing Mo reminded him unhurriedly.
Lin Yu nodded, but then said with a bitter expression:
"I know it's better early than late."
"But I really can't get away from Su Yuyao right now."
"Then just take her with you,"
Qing Mo's tone was breezy, as if she were just saying something completely inconsequential.
Beside her, Lin Yu almost blew his top hearing that.
What did she mean, take Su Yuyao to see the two of them?
Are you going there to coax them, or to declare war?
Glaring irritably at Qing Mo, who was full of terrible ideas, Lin Yu surprisingly noticed that she was actually holding back a laugh.
Even though Qing Mo's expression was still cool and aloof, looking not much different from usual,
they were, after all, people who had seen each other completely bare many times.
Lin Yu still had at least this much understanding of Qing Mo.
She was definitely holding back laughter, deliberately making sarcastic remarks just to tease and mock him!
Smug little brat, do you think you can turn the world upside down?
Watch my Dragon Claw!
"Mmh~"
After giving Qing Mo a brief but forceful lesson, Lin Yu pulled his hand back.
After all, she was driving, and Lin Yu didn't dare take the joke too far.
His child hadn't even been born yet.
If the kid lost its father just like that, it would be far too pitiful.
Qing Mo's reaction was also very consistent. For normal couples, if a girl was suddenly teased like that, she would mostly be annoyed.
How could someone play that kind of joke while driving?
Even girls who were more into this sort of thing and more open-minded would be seventy percent scolding and thirty percent flirtatious.
Qing Mo was different.
Lin Yu could tell she wanted to pull the car over...
...
Faced with Qing Mo's less-than-subtle gaze of invitation, Lin Yu rolled his eyes at her in response.
The car continued to drive forward smoothly.
Qing Mo drove, and Lin Yu sat in the passenger seat.
This time, Lin Yu put his phone down.
Watching the unremarkable traffic ahead, Lin Yu stared for quite a while before finally speaking in a soft voice, as if he couldn't muster any strength:
"Thank you."
"For everything you've done for me."
Taking a quick moment from driving, Qing Mo slanted her eyes to glance at Lin Yu, then quickly withdrew her gaze, looking back at the highway ahead, and said softly:
"I thought you would blame me."
Su Yuyao's pregnancy was, to some extent, indeed a result of Qing Mo taking matters into her own hands.
Although she had her own difficulties and dilemmas.
The result was that Lin Yu lost his right to choose without knowing anything.
After all, at this stage of Su Yuyao's condition, surgery...
Regarding Su Yuyao and this accident.
He could only silently accept it all.
Slowly shaking his head, Lin Yu looked straight ahead without turning his eyes.
"You were doing it all for my sake."
"How could I blame you."
Lin Yu's comfort didn't sound like an endorsement of Qing Mo's actions, but rather a kind of powerless resignation.
Like an old farmer who had weathered the hardships of life.
Even if you placed even heavier, rough firewood on his shoulders that was enough to chafe his skin raw, he would just silently accept it.
Lin Yu's reaction actually made Qing Mo feel even more guilty.
The atmosphere in the car gradually grew heavy with their silence.
Both remained quiet, silently pondering their own thoughts.
Until Lin Yu suddenly blurted out a completely out-of-the-blue sentence.
"How about tonight."
"What about tonight?"
Qing Mo asked subconsciously out of curiosity.
"Just tonight."
Lin Yu looked as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"When Su Yuyao falls asleep tonight, I'll sneak out to find you."
"You should have time tonight, right?"
???
Qing Mo looked at Lin Yu, feeling both angry and somewhat speechless for a moment.
What on earth was going on in his head?
Here she was, still feeling guilty and blaming herself over the matter with Su Yuyao.
And he had already gone and scheduled his evening plans!
It really made a person not know what to say!
Qing Mo turned her head back, looking expressionlessly at the road ahead, and let out a soft, cold hum through her nose.
"Mhm."
As if afraid Lin Yu hadn't heard, right after her soft hum, Qing Mo hurriedly added another word:
"I do."
Having arranged his schedule perfectly, Lin Yu comfortably began watching the scenery outside the window.
Actually, Lin Yu was quite tempted by Qing Mo's earlier proposal.
But it couldn't be helped.
Su Yuyao was like a lead weight hanging on Lin Yu's heart; if he didn't go back and check on her first, he would never feel at ease.
This must be what it feels like to care deeply for someone.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on...

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
