The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 474 - 440: I Thought...

The temperature on M Continent is about the same as on Yao Mountain Island.The night wind is still a bit chilly.

Gu Yanjing was handling work and didn’t sleep all night.

A little after three in the morning, he opened the balcony door and went out onto the terrace to feel the wind.

His eyes were somewhat bloodshot from the strain, adding a more sinister feeling to his cold gaze.

Touching the ring on his ring finger, he looked at the distant starlight.

His mind was filled with images of Qiao Yuxian.

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze, with a few strands of tenderness appearing in his eyes, then turned and returned to his room.

He had just entered the room and had not walked in far when he suddenly stopped.

His gaze suddenly turned fierce.

The balcony curtains fluttered in the breeze.

He turned to look at the balcony.

As the curtains billowed again, a figure dressed entirely in black emerged from behind them.

Holding a knife, the person thrust it directly at him.

Gu Yanjing quickly dodged.

The person in black spun around and stabbed again.

Gu Yanjing dodged while observing the black-clad figure before him.

Wearing a mask and a baseball cap.

The cap brim was pulled low, completely obscuring the eyes.

Making it impossible to see anything.

Each move from the person in black was quick, precise, and ruthless, one after another.

Gu Yanjing dodged each attack.

Then, as she swung her hand again, he caught hold of her wrist.

The person in black countered.

Gu Yanjing said, "Qiao Yuxian."

He couldn’t see her face, but he recognized her form.

The counterattacking hand of the person in black paused in mid-air.

The person also seemed frozen as though someone hit the pause button.

Gu Yanjing held onto her hand with the knife and said again, "Qiao Yuxian."

This voice made the person in black lower some of her guard, loosening her grip slightly before tilting her head to look at him.

Because of the low cap brim, she had to lean back to see him.

Gu Yanjing directly took off her cap.

Qiao Yuxian’s beautiful fox-like eyes were revealed.

Gu Yanjing watched her straight, dumbfounded, mechanical gaze, and his eyes softened a bit, saying, "Drank alcohol?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at him without speaking.

Gu Yanjing tried to remove the knife from her hand.

But Qiao Yuxian held it tightly, not letting go. He asked, "Do you recognize me?"

Qiao Yuxian’s eyes blinked slowly.

Gu Yanjing asked again, "Do you recognize me?"

Qiao Yuxian furrowed her brows and then said, "You’re very handsome."

Gu Yanjing: "......"

Qiao Yuxian pushed his hand down and patted the back of it, saying, "Once I’m done, I’ll take you home."

Saying this, she started to leave.

Gu Yanjing pulled her back, "Busy with what?"

"Shh!" Qiao Yuxian placed a finger on her lips and said, "It’s very dangerous here. You need to leave quickly."

"Why is it dangerous?" Gu Yanjing asked again.

Qiao Yuxian remained silent.

Gu Yanjing said, "Heard about the Twelfth Floor changing owners?"

Qiao Yuxian still said nothing.

Gu Yanjing said, "Here for a challenge?"

Qiao Yuxian continued to remain silent.

It seemed her thoughts were split into two segments that couldn’t connect.

She recognized the person in front of her, and subconsciously trusted him.

She felt safe for the moment, which is why she stopped.

But she didn’t understand why he was here?

Why would he be here?

She had had some drinks, her mind was muddled, but she felt this wasn’t right.

She sensed something was off, so she refused to answer the questions.

"I’m leaving." Qiao Yuxian said.

Gu Yanjing wouldn’t let her go, "Look at me, who am I?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

"Who am I?" Gu Yanjing asked again.

Qiao Yuxian stared for a while, then softly and slowly said, "Husband."

"Mm." Gu Yanjing responded with a sound.

As soon as he finished that sound.

Qiao Yuxian raised her hand and punched him, her gaze instantly filled with a murderous aura, "Who are you! Daring to impersonate my husband!"

Gu Yanjing’s shoulder was fiercely struck.

Qiao Yuxian threw the knife aside and moved forward, "I’m going to tear off your skin, see what you are. Daring to use my husband’s face!"

As she spoke, she clawed aggressively at his face.

Gu Yanjing held her hand.

Qiao Yuxian struggled to tear at his face, "Do you know who I am? Do you know who my husband is! Bold enough! Daring to use a fake face!"

Gu Yanjing suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Qiao Yuxian said again, "My husband would never be here. Tell me! What’s your motive!"

Gu Yanjing, feeling helpless, released her hand, allowing her to pinch his face twice.

Qiao Yuxian was drunkenly bewildered, her actions heavy-handed.

The places on Gu Yanjing’s face where she pinched instantly reddened.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Seems to be real."

As she spoke, she even lifted her hand to pat Gu Yanjing’s face.

Rumored to be ruthless, cold-blooded Mr. Gu watched his little wife: "......"

After Qiao Yuxian finished patting Gu Yanjing’s face, she leaned into his arms and fell asleep.

As if confirming the person before her, she fell asleep peacefully.

Gu Yanjing immediately embraced her.

He looked at her lowered eyelashes and gently kissed her eyelids.

He stooped down and cradled her in his arms.

As he carried her back to the bed, he thought about who would give her alcohol again.

Drinking to this state, causing her to intrude into the Twelfth Floor at night.

The guards outside made no noise, allowing her to come directly here.

One reason is that she should be familiar with this place.

The other reason is that she’s strong enough.

She could evade the guards completely.

...

Qiao Yuxian slept until after ten.

Upon waking up in an unfamiliar environment, not fully awake, she immediately stood up from the bed.

Like a keen beast observing her surroundings.

While looking around, she checked her own clothes.

A man’s shirt.

Someone changed her clothes.

In an instant, two bolts of lightning exploded in Qiao Yuxian’s mind.

Blasting her thoughts into a blank slate.

Where was she?

What did she do?

Where are her clothes?

What did someone do to her?

Why can’t she remember?

In an unfamiliar environment, why did she sleep so soundly and know nothing?

Even with medication, she would remain alert.

Why did she know nothing?

Qiao Yuxian listened to her chaotic and rapid heartbeat, asking herself a series of questions in her mind.

Even considering a series of consequences.

Just at this moment, Gu Yanjing entered the room.

Upon hearing the door open, a murderous intent arose in Qiao Yuxian.

So when Gu Yanjing entered, what he saw was Qiao Yuxian with reddened eyes, shimmering with unshed tears, but her face was frighteningly pale.

Even her usual rosy lip color turned somewhat white.

She stood by the bed in a shirt with slightly messy hair.

Her eyes radiated a terrifying killing intent.

Meaning to open a slaughter it seemed.

Gu Yanjing entered the room and asked, "What’s not right?"

The murderous intent rising from Qiao Yuxian dissipated swiftly upon seeing Gu Yanjing.

She looked at Gu Yanjing, her cold demeanor gradually receding, and asked stiffly, "Were you with me last night?"

"Mm." Gu Yanjing touched her forehead, checking for temperature.

Hearing his response, Qiao Yuxian’s whole body relaxed, and she sat down hard on the floor, letting out a heavy sigh, "I wondered why I slept so deeply, turns out you were beside me. I thought my Ru Hua-like beautiful girl was violated by someone."
