Xinghe was surprised he would promise such a thing .
Tell me should you need any help and I will do everything I can to help you .
That was a serious promise that Mubai gave .
Xinghe turned back to the computer and responded, "In that case, I will do my best to help your family . I'm sure that, with our cooperation, we can overcome this predicament . "
"Sounds great!" Mubai said with a winning smile . He was overjoyed because he realized Xinghe was looking out for him . It had been hard work getting to this stage . There was finally a small space for him in her heart…
Then he thought back to the sudden kiss that they shared . When it happened, her response wasn't repugnance but surprise . If Xinghe loathed him as her pursuer, he knew she would have slapped him or worse .
AdvertisementThey had once been married so they had done the 'deed' before but those were compelled by lust . However, his kiss earlier wasn't born out of lust but love . That was probably why she was shocked .
Mubai didn't dare push his luck; he was satisfied with the kiss . As they say, baby steps . It was because he respected her and cared about her that he would attend to her concern and take things at her preferred pace . After all, he couldn't afford to scare her away . She was too important to him .
"Before we deal with the Feng family, do take a rest . You just woke up today so don't exhaust yourself . Rest for a few days first," Mubai reminded her gently .
Xinghe had other plans . "I'm perfectly fine, I will rest when my body tells me to . Speaking of which, where's Xia Meng?"
"Her old body was no longer usable so we transferred her memory into a coma patient . Actually, I think she might be awake now too since you are . Also, she already gave me her energy crystal, I can pass it to you anytime you want . "
Xinghe nodded . "I'm glad she has a new start . It's good that she passed you the energy crystal, this is our secret weapon against Feng Saohuang . "
Mubai thought of that too . "Saohuang thought Ye Shen only had one, right? This can be the one variable that screws up his plan completely . "
"Indeed . However, we must be careful to not let him find out the location of the two crystals Ye Shen hid first . "
Mubai sighed helplessly . "If only we knew where Ye Shen hid it . "
Mubai's men had almost turned the city around but there was no progress . However, this probably meant that Feng Saohuang's men would have the same trouble locating them as well .
Xinghe had a lightbulb moment, and she said quickly, "Can you get me Xia Meng's energy crystal? I have an idea I wish to try out . "
"What idea?"
"The energy crystals are a type of rare metal, right? We can use that property to create a detecting instrument . "
Mubai looked at her curiously . "You have confidence that you can make it work?"
"No promises, but it doesn't hurt to try . " Contrary to her words, Xinghe sound absolutely confident .
Mubai's eyes were gleaming when he looked at her . He loved witnessing her acting confidently . To him, it was the most beautiful thing in the world .
"Alright, I will give it to you in a bit," Mubai couldn't help but smile . "But you have to rest for now, I'll have the cooks prepare something for you . What are you in the mood for?"
"Anything is fine . " Xinghe was not a picky eater .
Mubai nodded as he moved to support her up . "Then, I shall help you retire to bed for now . I will call when the food's ready . "
Xinghe was inclined to demur but she was feeling rather tired . Mubai was right, she was still recovering . She had been up for only one or two hours but she felt weighed down by great fatigue .
