Qiu Tong was stunned. She nudged Jin Yang’s elbow in an attempt to get him to help.
Qiu Xingyuan pursed his thin lips into a straight line. His exquisite and cold eyes revealed his helplessness.
The silence made Qiu Tong feel pressured. Qiu Xingqiao was a straightforward person. He raised his stubborn face. “I can guard the door for Mommy and Little Yu. If bad guys come, I can stall for time! Bring me along too, alright?”
Qiu Xingyuan added, “We can take care of each other!”
Qiu Tong felt a little tired when she heard the three children’s adult-like reasoning.
She knocked on the coffee table, interrupting Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao’s heated discussion. Qiu Tong tilted her head patiently and explained, “Our mission requires us to keep below the radar. Therefore, the fewer people there are, the safer it is.”
“If we were going to a direct confrontation, Mommy will definitely bring you guys along!”
Qiu Tong gently rubbed the top of Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao’s heads. Looking at their dazed expressions, her lips curled into a gentle smile.
Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao’s eyes gradually dimmed. They folded their fingertips silently and returned to their respective bedrooms dejectedly.
…
The bedroom was filled with incense in the middle of the night. The comforting smell of sandalwood wafted in the air.
Knock knock. Qiu Tong pushed the door open and saw Qiu Xingyuan standing in his pajamas. She hurriedly bent down and hugged him, asking with concern, “Did you have a nightmare?”
Qiu Xingyuan took a step back awkwardly. He kept his distance from her with a frown. It was obvious that he was still angry.
Qiu Tong tilted her head and looked at him. Qiu Xingyuan bit his thin lips as he raised his hand to stuff the syringe and medicine into her palm.
“It’s a newly concocted anesthetic. As long as it’s injected into the skin, the other party will experience paralysis and stiffness in their limbs within five seconds, causing them to lose their ability to speak and move. I’ve done two experiments earlier. The effects will last for about half an hour.”
“There’s also a flash bomb. When you encounter danger and need to escape, it can create a blind spot for a few seconds…”
Qiu Xingyuan explained the usage of the medicine and bomb in a muffled voice. Qiu Tong felt a warmth in her heart. She hugged Qiu Xingyuan in her arms. As she listened to his strong heartbeat, she felt a happiness and satisfaction she had never felt before.
Qiu Tong narrowed her eyes and teased, “Don’t worry, Mommy will definitely return safely. Big baby, wait at home obediently. Don’t worry!”
Qiu Xingyuan’s eyes turned slightly red, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and wiped away his tears. “Who’s worried about you?”
Qiu Tong couldn’t help laughing as she stroked his face. She sent Qiu Xingyuan back to his bed and coaxed him to sleep. She thought that Jin Yang had already fallen asleep, so she quietly returned to her room. The moment she lifted the blanket, she saw a pair of deep eyes beside her…
Jin Yang wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his embrace, her back pressed tightly against his burning chest.
The two heartbeats slowly matched.
He lifted her hair and lowered his head to kiss her neck. His gentle and slender fingers held her soft chest and kneaded it.
Jin Yang gently pinched her red buds. When he heard the seductive moan from her lips, he sighed helplessly.
Qiu Tong felt him leave for a moment before an icy cold chain was hung around her neck.
Jin Yang put on a snowflake-shaped necklace around Qiu Tong’s neck. He gently hugged her as he turned her to face him. The two of them looked into each other’s eyes. Jin Yang gently rubbed her earlobe with his fingertips and leaned forward to kiss her delicate red lips. He placed his forehead against hers. “The necklace has a tracking device. Touching it three times will activate the alert mode. I will receive the signal…”
“If you encounter any danger, remember to inform me immediately. I’ll bring Shao An to wait at the periphery, got it?”
Jin Yang inexplicably felt flustered and uneasy as he exhorted repeatedly.
Qiu Tong held the snowflake necklace in her hand and responded with a smile, “Okay.”
…
The next morning, Terrence stopped in his tracks when he saw Qiu Xingyu. He asked about the situation.
An apologetic smile appeared on Qiu Tong’s lips. She pulled Qiu Xingyu’s hood down to cover most of her face as she explained softly, “My daughter is sick and has a fever. No one in the family can help take care of her, so I brought her to work with me today.”
“Don’t worry, she’s very obedient. She won’t affect our work.”
Qiu Xingyu sensibly gave a cough and silently raised her hand to tug at his sleeve. She begged in a soft and hoarse voice, “Uncle, can you let me stay here? I want to be with Mommy!”
Terrence frowned and waved them into Yu Ge’s office.
Qiu Xingyu secretly lifted the brim of her hood and stared at Terrence’s back as he left.
“Mommy, I’ve planted a tracker device on him!”
Qiu Xingyu’s eyes sparkled with pride. She pointed at the moving red dot on the screen.. “I’m very good!”
