Chapter 215: Chapter 215

Qin Han’s pupils dilated, followed by—

"Do you enjoy hitting women or being hit by them?" Gu Anxi viciously kicked Qin Han.

Qin Han let out another grunt. "You said you wouldn’t hit my face."

"With a shameless scoundrel like you? Do I need to keep my word?" Gu Anxi kicked him again.

A brutal thrashing ensued.

After the beating, she took out a few hundred-dollar bills from her pocket. "Medical expenses."

With that, she stepped over Qin Han with her long legs and opened the door.

Outside, Bo Xichen was leaning against the doorframe, smiling. "Miss Spider-Woman strikes again."

He peeked inside. "That was quite a beating. Mr. Qin probably won’t be able to get up for several days."

Gu Anxi immediately lowered her head. "He hit himself. I was just watching."

Then, she turned to run.

Bo Xichen grabbed her. "Why are you running?"

He pulled her close, carefully examining her hands, and only relaxed once he was sure she wasn’t injured.

Qin Han, lying on the floor, groaned, "How can Young Master Bo even like such a girl?"

Bo Xichen smiled. "Mr. Qin, actually, I think Anxi did a public service by eliminating a menace."

Qin Han spat out a mouthful of blood.

As Bo Xichen led her away, Gu Anxi scratched her head. "I... uh... I actually just drank too much. Normally, I’m not that violent."

"Really?" Bo Xichen said with a faint smile. "But I like it when you’re a little violent."

Gu Anxi froze in his arms, looking at him incredulously.

Bo Xichen still smiled. "Really." Updates are released by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽

Gu Anxi said very slowly, "Suddenly, I want to see that treasure you mentioned."

Bo Xichen stopped, his voice slightly hoarse. "Are you sure?"

Gu Anxi hummed. "I drank too much."

Bo Xichen chuckled softly and drove her back to the small laboratory building.

He had placed the Jade Ruyi on the sofa in his bedroom. He sat while she lay prone, examining it.

It was exceptionally exquisite, with ancient, intricate patterns. About a dozen gemstones were embedded at its head, making it look quite valuable.

Gu Anxi held it, rubbing it a few times. "This would be great for massages."

Saying this, she looked up at Bo Xichen and smiled. "Little Uncle, don’t you think so?"

His gaze was intense as he watched her silently.

Gu Anxi was startled for a moment. She looked down at the Jade Ruyi in her hand, then back at him, and murmured, "Shameless."

Just as Bo Xichen was about to say something, Fengxi’s voice sounded.

[Young Master Bo, the Jing Element market is in a critical state. Your dear aunt, Ms. Bo Jin, is also at her wit’s end.]

[Young Master Bo, Jing Element has been detected in Qingcheng.]

[Young Master Bo, a large, possibly massive, quantity of Jing Element may be in Qingcheng...]

Bo Xichen turned off Fengxi.

When he turned back, Gu Anxi wrapped her arms around his neck. "You have official business to attend to. I’ll go to sleep first!"

He administered a small, playful punishment. "You naughty thing."

Gu Anxi laughed, leaning against his shoulder, looking very happy.

After a moment, she asked again, "Little Uncle, would you ever hit your wife?"

"Possibly," he teased her.

Gu Anxi hummed. "Oh dear, what now? I’m starting to have some regrets."

"Regretting it now? Isn’t it a bit late for that?" Bo Xichen tilted his head to look at her.

Gu Anxi continued to chat with him desultorily. "Is Jing Element very important to the Cloud He Group?"

"It’s vital to the entire market. The major families in Beicheng are all desperately trying to get their hands on it." He pinched her nose. "Gu Anxi, don’t change the subject. Continue, hmm?"

Saying this, he pressed the Jade Ruyi back into her hand...
