Chapter 698: Sugar

“You got Chi Yue to investigate Grandpa Su?” Yu Shijin placed one hand on the windowsill and slowly lowered his body. His voice was even lower.

It was just that his tone was somewhat casual.

Su Huiqing’s head was still pressed against the windowsill. She felt a layer of shadow in front of her, and her vision darkened. Instantly, only her sense of touch and hearing exploded.

“Mmm, I found something…” Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes. She didn’t finish her sentence not because she didn’t want to say it. She was just stunned by the person who suddenly pressed down on her.

Obviously, he didn’t want to ask her this question.

Yu Shijin didn’t even want her answer. He rubbed her neck and gradually moved his hand to the back of her head. He kissed her lips seriously.

Su Huiqing actually wanted to say something. She wanted to discuss Old Master Zhuge seriously with him. When that soft thing pried her teeth open, she wanted to bite it, but she subconsciously couldn’t bear to.

Yu Shijin’s hand, which was propped on the balcony, hooked Su Huiqing’s, which was hanging by the side, and filled the cracks between her fingers with his one by one. Her hand was almost like an artist’s hand—clean, fair, and slender.

He could clearly feel the joints between his fingers.

At such a moment, even a tiny touch would be magnified countless times in her mind.

Someone knocked on the door. Someone was looking for Su Huiqing.

Yu Shijin hung his head by her neck and could feel his breath gradually calming down. He chuckled. “It’s Dugu Yusheng.”

His voice was lower than usual.

Su Huiqing touched her ear. “Move aside. He is looking for me.”

“Alright.” Yu Shijin glanced at her and touched her ear. He then switched on the light and turned to look at Su Huiqing’s faintly visible collarbone. “Change your clothes.”

As she had just come out of the shower, Su Huiqing didn’t intend to stay for long and turned on the light in the room.

Now that she had changed the chandelier, the brightness was a little blinding. She covered her eyes.

Under the light, her hands were so fair that tiny blood vessels could be seen, as well as smooth lines of her side profile.

Yu Shijin opened the wardrobe and handed her the clothes she always wore. He stared at her face for a moment before pulling her back when she was about to change. He placed his hand on the wall beside her head and kissed her.

…

Dugu Yusheng came to look for Su Huiqing because of Apollo. However, Apollo was currently supervising the work and could not personally look for Su Huiqing.

“Apollo needs the blueprint for a modified weapon.” Dugu Yusheng watched as Yu Shijin went downstairs first. He felt that Yu Shijin’s gaze was a little unfriendly, but he didn’t care. Dugu Yusheng didn’t seem friendly either. “Those people seem to know of your existence, but they only know that Apollo has a queen of firearms behind him. No one knows that it’s you.”

“Alright, I will print out the blueprint. You can leave first.” In the room, Su Huiqing put on her jacket while typing out the blueprint that she had recently modified.

Dugu Yusheng swiftly went downstairs after receiving her reply. Yu Han had been talking to Elder Yu downstairs, but they stopped when he saw Dugu Yusheng.

Dugu Yusheng smiled but didn’t say anything…

Until Su Huiqing came downstairs.

“Miss Su.” Elder Yu stood up first. He wanted to ask Su Huiqing if she could go to his office, but when he saw the blueprint in her hand, he paused. “What is that?”

Su Huiqing handed the blueprint to Dugu Yusheng. Upon hearing this, she said in a serious tone, “I learned how to draw in Green City. This is the drawing I just drew.”

“I see.” Upon hearing Su Huiqing’s reply, Elder Yu no longer paid attention. “What are you drawing?”

“It’s just a simple toy for Empress Su to play with.” Under Elder Yu’s sincere gaze, Su Huiqing’s tone was very calm.

Dugu Yusheng couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing at?” Yu Yan glanced at Dugu Yusheng.

Dugu Yusheng shook his head and took the blueprint solemnly. He looked at Yu Yan without speaking.

If they knew that this painting was drawn by the queen of firearms whom almost every power overseas wanted to win over and that person was right in front of them, they would definitely not have such a calm reaction.
