Chapter 36 - A Nice and Pleasant Feeling

As she had just arrived at Zhong Country not too long ago, Wang Rouxi still had not managed to settle everything yet.

If it was not for her encounter with Xia Jiannan earlier, she would have been able to meet her new secretary and her supposed family already.

But instead of feeling bothered by the unexpected turn of events, Wang Rouxi actually thought that it was exciting!

Being reminded of that apathetic man who mistook her car as his, the corners of Wang Rouxi's mouth subconsciously curled upwards.

Xia Jiannan was after all the first person, aside from the Five Elites, who she had brought home. So obviously, Wang Rouxi would not forget her good experience with him.

All her speculations about Xia Jiannan's involvement in Wang Shenyun's case had been discarded. He could not have possibly had a hand in that premeditated accident.

Unbeknownst to her, that so-called Stoic King had turned into a kindhearted person in her eyes! It was totally different from what she had heard other people say about him.

Thinking about Xia Jiannan, Wang Rouxi felt something nudging at her dormant heart. It was a nice and pleasant feeling that caused warmth to spread all over her being.

However, when it comes to the matters of the heart, Wang Rouxi could be considered as the naivest of all.

She did not even have a slightest inkling about those kind of trivial things before. And after those few years that she was gone, although there were considerable changes in her disposition, it was not that easy to teach a person like her how to recognize romantic feelings because she was not exposed to it before.

For her, that warm feeling that she had just felt was caused by the alcohol doing its thing.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Wang Rouxi rummaged through the luggage that she brought home from Fei Country.

It seemed like what she was looking for was of utmost confidentiality as she had only managed to pull them out after quite some time.

They were hidden amongst her belongings that one would not even notice them if they would not look closely!

Checking the things laid out in front of her, Wang Rouxi's lips pulled into a smirk.

Things will surely become more interesting!

After arranging a few more matters, Wang Rouxi left her bedroom and headed towards the music room.

. . .

The next morning, Lu Lenglian was stirred awake by a certain someone's babbling even before the sun had completely risen up the horizon.

"Hm?" Lu Lenglian scrunched up his brows as he realized that the sound was coming from his left side.

Through his blurry and dim vision, he was could vaguely see the outline of the person next to him.

Under normal circumstances, just based from Lu Lenglian's temperament, he would have tossed that person who dared to invade his personal space away from him.

But if it was Lu Yizhi we were talking about...

Well...

Let's just say that the initially grumpy Lu Lenglian was more than satisfied while relishing the moment Lu Yizhi was in his embrace.

"If only I could wake up next to you every morning..." Lu Lenglian spoke in barely more than a whisper. He knew that Lu Yizhi would not hear him since he always sleeps like a log.

However, all good things must come to an end.

Missions would always take precedence over everything else after all.

After staying in that position for a few more minutes, Lu Lenglian nudged everyone awake.

Although they were still feeling a little bit out of it because of their drinking session last night, they reluctantly pulled themselves out of the makeshift bed to prepare for their mission.

"I received the coordinates. Hurry up so we can get there earlier!"

That was Lu Qingya. She was in charge of the details.

As the only female member of the group aside from their leader, most of the tasks that involve meticulous handling and planning were given to her.

While waiting for her male companions, Lu Qingya started to go over the rest of the information provided by the Headquarters.

Not long after, three strangely dressed men walked through the living room. It was unknown from what era these attires came from, but it definitely got Lu Qingya incensed.

Staring down at the three men in front of her, Lu Qingya pressed her lips firmly together. "What the heck are you wearing?!"

The simple dress that she had picked out to wear paled in comparison to the overly extravagant outfit of the three.

"We are not attending a costume party!" Lu Qingya could only sigh exasperatedly, "Go change those medieval outfits immediately!"
