"Idiot Mo Ming, don't think that just because you’re silent, you can pretend you didn't hear anything. Anyway, I, Jun Qianqian, am determined to stick with you for life!" Jun Qianqian's smile grew wider. Perhaps this would seem casual to others, but if you truly love someone, why should you care about how others perceive it?
Since she had set her sights on Mo Ming, Jun Qianqian had no intention of letting go. From childhood to now, she had always pursued what she deemed worthy with tenacity, never backing down even if it meant getting hurt. This time, she was determined to fight for her happiness as always.
Even though Mo Ming now had two women by his side, Jun Qianqian still felt happy being with him. Why was she happy? Because her heart felt happiness, and that was enough. Even if she couldn't selfishly possess him, Jun Qianqian was resolute.
"Don't talk about being a mistress; it sounds so harsh," Mo Ming said with a bitter smile. "I believe that with your looks, Miss Jun, becoming the legitimate wife of a handsome heir from a wealthy family wouldn't be a problem at all. Why do you have to cling to me?"
"Why do you care?" Jun Qianqian replied with her nose in the air. "My life is my own to decide; you don’t need to worry about it. Besides you, I have no intention of loving anyone else. You can figure it out."
"Miss Jun, why does that sound like a threat?" Mo Ming shook his head with a wry smile, realizing he was increasingly unable to understand Jun Qianqian's character. She spoke stubbornly, but whether her heart was equally strong only she knew.
"Hmph, think whatever you want. I'm not forcing you; I know that a reluctant fruit isn't sweet. But idiot Mo Ming, I will wait for the day when you completely fall in love with me." Jun Qianqian snorted coldly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes which she immediately tried to mask with a smile.
The person she loved did not love her back; the person she loved already had someone else. How could this not hurt Jun Qianqian's heart? Yet she tried hard to appear strong, not wanting Mo Ming to notice even a bit of her fear that he might accept her out of pity.
No matter how quickly and well Jun Qianqian hid her feelings, she could not escape Mo Ming's observation. The sadness that flashed in her eyes filled his heart with guilt, leaving him unsure how to respond to her.
At that moment, the waiter finally brought out the snacks.
"Sir and Miss, your order has been served. Please enjoy your meal and have a pleasant dining experience." The waiter said before leaving.
The atmosphere had become too awkward. To ease the tension, Mo Ming quickly changed the subject. "The snacks are here; we can finally dig in."
"Mm." Jun Qianqian lightly responded before quickly shifting back to her domineering self. "Hurry up and eat, you idiot! After you're full, continue being my servant. You won't be able to leave until you're completely exhausted; consider it your punishment. As for what kind of punishment... you'll have to think about that yourself."
Punishment? Mo Ming knew all too well but didn’t want to dwell on it; overthinking would only bring trouble. It was better to enjoy the food.
Mo Ming was hungry; he hadn’t eaten breakfast before heading out shopping and was almost developing a fear of shopping itself. Whenever he thought about shopping, he would rather return to the training life in the army—much easier than shopping around.
While Mo Ming and Jun Qianqian were having their meal, Seductive and others had already dispersed into the crowd, mingling as customers and keeping a close watch on the surroundings for any changes around Mo Ming. They aimed to swiftly resolve any trouble before it posed a danger to Mo Ming and Jun Qianqian.
In a tea restaurant, a man wearing sunglasses with naturally curly hair kept short but not so short that it revealed his scalp, had a bronze complexion. The stubble on his face seemed intentionally unshaven, yet it didn’t give off a messy impression; rather, his short hair made him appear quite fresh.
If Mo Ming were to see him, he would definitely recognize this man as none other than the infamous Four-Faced Buddha, known in Thailand as the "Killing Machine." He held a newspaper as a disguise but was intently staring at Mo Ming, who was eating.
"Ah, the Asura is still the Asura. After all these years, you haven't disappointed me. Your strength has reached such an astonishing level that I fear I can no longer kill you in a direct confrontation."
As soon as Four-Faced Buddha received news of Mo Ming's outing, he hurried over. He had been waiting nearby for quite some time but dared not act recklessly. Four-Faced Buddha was cautious; he wouldn’t take action without ensuring his own safety.
Among the people around, his own men were already lying in wait. However, Four-Faced Buddha couldn’t guarantee that Mo Ming hadn’t arranged for some backup. It must be said that sometimes suspicion can save one’s life; his decision not to act recklessly was indeed wise.
If his whereabouts hadn’t been discovered by Mo Ming last night, it would have been much easier for him to assassinate Mo Ming today. But now, Mo Ming had heightened his vigilance and made complete arrangements. If Four-Faced Buddha dared to act rashly, he would truly end up like Jessica said—full of holes!
The snipers on the highland were all top-notch marksmen. If they truly plotted against him, even with extraordinary abilities, death would be inevitable. Moreover, no matter how skilled Four-Faced Buddha was, he was still just one person.
Now, Four-Faced Buddha observed quietly.
"Mo Ming, are you full?" Jun Qianqian looked at the mess on the table and shot Mo Ming an annoyed glance. "You really can eat! You finished your meal and ordered more—what an image of an Evil Ghost! I can’t even get enough to eat."
Mo Ming scoffed, "Who told you to prioritize your figure over your life? If you don’t want to eat, isn’t it normal not to feel full? Anyway, you’ve been unable to fill yourself for quite some time now; you won’t starve."
There were plenty of empty plates on the table, but only one plate had been eaten by Jun Qianqian; everything else had gone into Mo Ming's stomach. Mainly because Jun Qianqian was afraid of gaining weight and restricted her diet every day—she would rather go hungry than overeat.
This woman was quite dedicated to maintaining her slim figure; Mo Ming simply couldn’t understand it. If there’s food available, just eat and drink without worrying so much!
"I like it this way; what can you do about it?" Jun Qianqian said defiantly. "Alright then, once I'm full we should hit the road! Hurry up and carry my luggage!"
"Cut it out, do you think I'm your Sha Wujing?" Mo Ming sneered, extending his middle finger to disdainfully gesture at Jun Qianqian.
Jun Qianqian gritted her teeth, feeling a bit angry. "So are you going to carry it or not, you jerk Mo Ming?"
"No..." Mo Ming was about to shake his head, but Jun Qianqian had already assumed a threatening posture, so he quickly nodded and said, "I will carry it, let's go, Master Jun!" He hurriedly got up to pay the bill and turned back to grab his luggage, ready to leave.
As they stepped outside, a man in a white tracksuit and a baseball cap approached quickly with his head down, his right hand reaching into the pocket of his tracksuit as if to pull something out.
"Mo Ming, what are you doing?" Jun Qianqian noticed Mo Ming's hand blocking her path and was slightly surprised. Following his gaze, she also spotted the strange behavior of the man in white and instinctively took a few steps back.
The sniper from Highland immediately became alert and communicated via radio: "Target spotted, boss's front, man in white tracksuit!"
"Received. Target is locked on; there are no other suspicious individuals nearby!"
Seductive nudged Afterimage, who was sipping milk tea beside her, saying, "There's movement; stay alert and be careful of any ambush."
"Do I need to tell you? Starfall and Demon Slayer are already around the boss; no one can ambush him. Let's move closer to prevent any unexpected incidents. If something happens to the boss, we won't have an explanation," Afterimage shot Seductive an annoyed glance and immediately prepared to move.
However, Seductive grabbed Afterimage's arm and said, "You idiot, stop being so paranoid! Just wait a moment; don't be so impulsive. If we expose our position, the big fish will escape. The snipers around will ensure the boss's safety."
"You said that; if anything happens to the boss, you'll be responsible," Afterimage stood still, eyes fixed on the man in white who was now just two meters away from Mo Ming, breathing heavily.
Seductive felt a bit anxious too; if anything happened to Mo Ming, she wouldn't be able to take responsibility. However, as a woman, she trusted her instincts. Even if something occurred, Mo Ming would be able to handle it.
The man in the white tracksuit pulled out a discount card from his pocket and walked past Mo Ming into the shop where Mo Ming had just eaten snacks. Indeed, nothing happened. But even if something did occur, Mo Ming could swiftly deal with him when he intended harm.
Mo Ming was confident in his abilities.
"Phew." Jun Qianqian sighed in relief and gave Mo Ming a hard pinch. "You jerk! You scared me to death! Can you stop being so suspicious?"
"Miss Jun, can you stop pinching my flesh?" Mo Ming said with a bitter smile. "Wasn't I just trying to protect you? That guy's actions were so strange; it's better to be cautious. Don't you understand? If that person was really an assassin, we could have lost our lives without even realizing it."
Jun Qianqian let go of her grip and walked in front of Mo Ming. "Forget it, I won't hold it against you. Let's go!"
Wasn't this just unreasonable?
In that situation, if one wasn't a bit alert, even a skilled fighter could find themselves in danger at such a short distance and sudden moment. If the opponent had attacked, they wouldn't even know how they died. Mo Ming was confident but not arrogant; he wouldn't be careless when caution was required.
However, Mo Ming had no temper left when it came to Jun Qianqian. He shook his head with a bitter smile and continued to follow her.
The Man in the White Tracksuit entered the dim sum shop, casually ordered a few dishes, and then sat in a corner. Pulling at his collar, he whispered, "The president is indeed insightful; the other party is indeed on guard. When I approached just now, I could feel the killing intent around me."
Meanwhile, in another shop, the Four-Faced Buddha gently picked up a cup of tea and drank it all before standing up. "Let's spare Shura's life for now; all actions today are canceled. We need to leave here quickly."
After paying, the Four-Faced Buddha left at a normal pace.
The Man in the White Tracksuit was indeed bait thrown out by the Four-Faced Buddha, intended to test whether Mo Ming was prepared. If Mo Ming had not been ready, the Four-Faced Buddha would have acted against him without hesitation. However, due to the hasty actions of Demon Slayer and Starfall during the test, their whereabouts were exposed, which ultimately prevented the conflict that should have occurred.
