Chapter 295: I’m Begging You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yue Xin had just walked to Building No.7 when she saw No.12. He had a pair of slender legs and muscles that were faintly visible under his black shirt. It reminded her of the first time she had seen him.
What was No.12’s first line to her then?
Oh, right. At that time, No. 12 had called her Madam in a businesslike manner. Now, he was standing at the entrance of Building No.7 and waiting for her to come back.
Yue Xin walked into No.12 and looked at his feigned calm demeanor. Her eyes were filled with a smile as she deliberately asked, “No.12, why are you standing here? Are you going to race with Lafu?”
For a period of time, No.12 was very envious of Lafu’s relationship with Yue Xin. In order to close the distance with Lafu, he would wake up early every day and run with Lafu.
No.12 thought that he had hidden his thoughts well, but Yue Xin still found out. His ears turned red as he pretended to be calm and replied, “We were all very worried when you suddenly said that you wouldn’t be coming back last night.”
Yue Xin knew who No.12 was talking about. When she returned to the 35th floor, she indeed saw two other raccoons with dark circles under their eyes.
“You guys didn’t sleep?”
“Boohoo, Boss, we agreed to eat dumplings together… Since you didn’t come back, how can I have an appetite facing these two stinky men!”
Alex glanced at Mi Aya and retorted, “I don’t have much of an appetite for the dumplings you made.”
Mi Aya said, “Do the ones you wrap look good? You can’t even compare to the boss’s pinky finger!”
Alex said, “But the boss said what I wrapped looks good.”
No.12 didn’t want to hear the two of them bicker at all. Ever since Yue Xin left last night, the two of them had been arguing. He couldn’t stand it anymore, so he went to the door to wait.
Yue Xin saw that No.12 was speechless and said calmly, “You haven’t eaten the dumplings?”
Mi Aya and Alex said in unison, “Waiting for the boss to eat together!”
No.12 also said softly, “We agreed yesterday.”
Yue Xin felt the remaining capacity in her stomach and hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Then let’s eat together now.”
The four of them sat around and happily ate the first meal of the new year. Then, Yue Xin vomited when she returned to her room because she had forcefully eaten too many dumplings, but she didn’t let anyone know.
Yue Xin did not do as she said and immediately went to look for Yi Chengxuan the next day. Instead, she delayed for a few days. She was giving Yi Chengxuan time to prepare.
Six days later, Yue Xin felt that Yi Chengxuan should be almost ready, so she swaggered to Building No. 5. This time was different from before. As soon as Yue Xin entered Building No.5, she was surrounded by the criminals in Building No.5. They said that they had to go up and inform Yi before letting Yue Xin go up.
Yue Xin didn’t show any other expression and nodded.
About ten minutes later, a criminal ran back and replied, “Yi said that you can go up now.”
Only then did Yue Xin step into the elevator. Her elevator permissions had not been canceled, so she did not know what Yi Chengxuan’s intentions were. When she reached the 36th floor, Yue Xin saw Yi Chengxuan painting. His well-defined fingers held a brush. As he raised the brush, an ink landscape painting appeared on the paper.
However, Yue Xin sensed that the force used by Yi Chengxuan’s right hand seemed to be different from usual.
Yue Xin did not say anything. Instead, she walked to Yi Chengxuan’s side and rolled up the sleeve of his right hand. What greeted her eyes were still dense scars. One of the wounds, about the length of a finger, was clearly new.
Yue Xin only took a look and didn’t say anything. She rolled down Yi Chengxuan’s sleeve. She took Yi Chengxuan’s painting away and forced his gaze to fall on her. She asked, “Are you ready to tell me? If you don’t tell me, I won’t ask again.” And he could forget about achieving his goal.
Yi Chengxuan understood the meaning behind Yue Xin’s words. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and for some reason, there was a hint of pitifulness in them. However, in an instant, he returned to his high and mighty appearance.
“In two months, there will be a special mission. If you’re willing to participate in that mission, I’ll tell you when you return.”

Yue Xin said indifferently, “I don’t really need to know.”
Yi Chengxuan sighed and said in a much softer voice, “I’m begging you.”
From Yue Xin’s infallible memory, this was the first time Yi Chengxuan had said the word “beg” to her.
All kinds of memories flashed through her mind, and finally, the scene of the four of them eating dumplings together in Building No.7. Yue Xin had to admit that Yi Chengxuan had helped her a lot and let her wash away the things she didn’t want to believe in in the past. Logically speaking, she should help Yi Chengxuan this time.
“What’s the mission?”
