The next day.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan sat in the living room, blinking their eyes as they watched the TV program.
【Emergency Notice!】
【Notification of Delay for the National Martial Arts Competition!】
【Due to an attack on young master Qian Yu of the Qian Family, the competition has been postponed!!】
"Qian Yu was assassinated?"
Su Muwan looked astonished: "We just placed an order, and someone already accepted it? That was fast!"
Qin Luo nodded: "The efficiency of the dark web is still reliable."
"What do you mean? Is he dead? Did he get dismembered into pieces?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the screen switched to a reporter's on-site interview: "We're here to interview the scene. Hello, miss, was young master Qian Yu assassinated here?"
"Oh yes, yes, yes! We saw a pool of blood down there near his... hey, why won't you let me finish talking!"
"Well, uh... there are some complications at the scene, so let's go to a commercial break."
Click, the commercials started.
Su Muwan frowned: "Hey, why cut her off like that?"
The show didn't continue after that.
Qin Luo coughed lightly, glancing at Su Muwan: "Miss."
"Hmm?"
Su Muwan responded casually, swinging her little feet as she watched her daily anime.
Qin Luo thought for a moment and said: "I just realized, according to our contract, we have a weekend off, right?"
As soon as he said that, Su Muwan's expression tensed slightly. Her swinging feet paused momentarily.
She spoke casually, trying to sound indifferent: "Oh, I think so, yeah."
Seeing that Su Muwan didn't react much, Qin Luo continued, looking at her: "So, this upcoming weekend is my private time."
With that,
Clunk!
Su Muwan's heart sank.
Private time...?
Su Muwan's eyes widened in shock.
That meant Qin Luo would be... away for the weekend?
She turned her head stiffly, asking hesitantly: "Are you going somewhere this weekend? Not staying here?"
Qin Luo thought about it and nodded: "Probably."
Sss!!
Su Muwan took a sharp breath, her face turning towards the side, her hands covering her face as her shocked eyes peeped through her fingers.
(ΩДΩ)!!
What's going on?!
Qin Luo never mentioned taking a break before!
Well, it's not like she was against him taking a break.
But!
They've been together for so long! She's gotten used to it! Just like that, you're not around?!
What about me?!
Wait, no!
That's not it!
Su Muwan's eyes trembled, aware of the situation that she had read about in many books.
When someone says they want a break, want some private time...
That means!!
They are!! Fed up with you!!
Ah! No way!
Is it because Qin Luo feels that always being around me, playing around all day is too tiring?!
Does he think that being a companion to my villainess personality, constantly meeting the heroines, spanking them is too much?
So he wants a break?
Or is it...
Su Muwan's expression stiffened.
Maybe because I'm too lazy, not willing to do anything myself, pushing everything onto Qin Luo.
Even stealing his gloves to do those kinds of things, driving him to the point where he feels he needs a break?
No!
Most serious of all...
Su Muwan gulped.
She knew.
Those who say things like "Oh, I'll just take a break for two days, then come back"...
Usually!! They are planning to leave for good!
This is bad!
Is Qin Luo planning to run away?!
No, please, not that!
But...
Su Muwan hung her head, her gaze dull, feeling her life had lost its purpose.
For someone like me, who only attracts trouble and is as useless as a cockroach, is it really that unbearable for Qin Luo?
No... it's too late now...
Su Muwan lifted her head, determination in her eyes. She thought of a good plan.
Knock Qin Luo out, lock him up, and release him after the weekend.
Problem solved!
Just as she thought that,
Thud!
"Ugh!"
Qin Luo lightly tapped Su Muwan on the head with a hand chop, giving a helpless look to the girl lost in thought: "Miss, what are you daydreaming about?"
As the loyalty meter he had was buzzing in his head.
But then it just got worse.
As soon as he asked, Su Muwan's eyes reddened, and she began wailing.
"Waaaah!!"
"How dare you, Qin Luo! Where's the door to make you leave?"
"I'll pay you 500 thousand a month!! What is someone else paying you, anyway! Double, no, triple that on top of the 500 thousand!!"
Su Muwan pointed at Qin Luo, red-eyed.
Qin Luo was startled: "What are you talking about?"
He pulled out a tissue, wiping away her tears with a laugh: "It's just a regular weekend off. I wanted to invite Miss to spend the weekend with me, as friends."
Su Muwan: ?
Sniff...
Su Muwan sniffled, feeling awkward and not knowing what to say.
Finally, under Qin Luo's amused gaze, she managed to squeeze out a: "Really?"
"Really."
"Really, really?"
"Really, really, really."
"Then, no problem."
Su Muwan's heart was relieved, seeing Qin Luo trying not to laugh.
She realized she had overreacted earlier.
Well, who wouldn't, seeing how she'd already gotten used to, well, rather, how Qin Luo needed her so much.
She took a deep breath, then glared at Qin Luo: "Next time, don't say anything so confusing."
"It gave me a heart attack."
Qin Luo, catching on to the mood, leaned closer, looking meaningfully at Su Muwan: "Miss, what's so confusing about saying I'm having a weekend off?"
"......"
"Hey!"
Su Muwan, being teased by Qin Luo's gaze, blushed, pushing him away with her hand, looking elsewhere and complaining: "Anyway! We'll see when the time comes!"
She hummed, "You inviting me out. It's not guaranteed I'll have the time, anyway."
Qin Luo found it strange: "Miss, what could you possibly be doing?"
Seeing Qin Luo so puzzled, Su Muwan felt offended.
She huffed a little, reciting one by one: "Come on, Qin Luo, I am the big sister of Jiang City now."
"There's just too much to handle every day."
"Like... making decisions... doing this and that..."
"Well, anyway..."
"I'm busy."
Qin Luo laughed, watching Su Muwan awkwardly list her busy schedule — before finally settling on no real events — nodding: "So, I guess I'll have to beg Miss to make some time for me, then."
"Jiang City has many new landmarks I'd like Miss to see with me."
Su Muwan blinked.
She glanced at Qin Luo, her thoughts spinning to what that could mean.
Coughing lightly, she said: "Well, if Qin Luo is so insistent, I'll have to make time and go with you."
"Ugh, taking care of subordinates is really stressful.."
"Well, thank you very much, Miss!"

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet."
