Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 849: A Dark and Windy Night
Mu Qiancheng kissed his son, then noticed his little wife watching him with a smile, prompting him to plant a kiss on her cheek as well.
Jiang Xue touched the spot where Mu Qiancheng had kissed her, speechless. She never expected that the usually cold-faced Mu Qiancheng had such a playful side.
The family of three played in the living room for a while, and seeing it was almost nine o’clock, they returned to the bedroom. Not long after returning, Little Reunion fell asleep.
Watching their son asleep, Mu Qiancheng looked at his little wife with a smile and said, "Go wash up, we should rest too."
Jiang Xue nodded and headed to the bathroom to get ready for bed. After washing, the couple lay on the bed and began to converse.
Earlier, Jiang Xue hadn’t told Mu Qiancheng about Wang Jun. Now, she disclosed that she had treated the Wang Family Master’s illness and ensured Wang Jun would serve her loyally for ten years.
After hearing this, Mu Qiancheng frowned and said, "Don’t rush to use Wang Jun. Let’s wait until I’ve investigated him."
He feared his little wife might be deceived by Wang Jun’s facade. From what he knew, none of those families were trustworthy. Wang Jun might very well be putting on a show for Jiang Xue.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you."
After talking for a while, the couple went to rest. As the night deepened, the entire Xu City was enveloped in sleep. Meanwhile, a shadow swiftly bypassed the neighborhood security, darting through the area.
Soon, the shadow came to a stop at the building where Jiang Xue resided. After quietly observing downstairs for a while, it took something from its person and shot it towards Jiang Xue’s window ledge.
With a swishing sound, a rope anchored onto Jiang Xue’s ledge. After testing its firmness, the shadow grabbed the rope and quickly climbed upwards.
The shadow’s speed was remarkable, scaling three floors in the blink of an eye. Upstairs, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng were deeply asleep. At that moment, Little Fox’s voice sounded, alerting Jiang Xue, "Woman, woman, someone’s coming!"
Upon hearing Little Fox, Jiang Xue’s eyes shot open, awaking Mu Qiancheng simultaneously. The couple exchanged glances and began whispering to one another.
"Honey, stay in the room while I go to meet our visitor."
"No way, I’m going with you," Jiang Xue shook her head. She wouldn’t let Mu Qiancheng face danger alone. Even though Mu Qiancheng was skilled, their opponent was an assassin, and undoubtedly formidable.
"Honey, I understand your thoughts, but our son is here too. You must stay back to protect him, right?"
Mu Qiancheng tried to reason with his little wife. Who knew how many people might come? If there’s just one, it’s manageable, but if there are more? If two or three arrived, it would be unsafe for their son once they left.
"It’s fine; I can keep our son in space," Jiang Xue said, swiftly teleporting their son into another dimension. Soon, she returned empty-handed.
Seeing Jiang Xue’s actions, Mu Qiancheng had nothing more to say.
"Xue’er, stay close to me," Mu Qiancheng instructed quickly, climbing out of bed, followed by Jiang Xue.
Once up, the couple tiptoed out of the room, heading next door. Just moments earlier, Little Fox had warned Jiang Xue, signaling someone had entered the adjacent room.
At that moment, the assassin indeed resided in the neighboring room. However, the assassin wasn’t faring well. While climbing the ledge earlier, he’d come into contact with something—the poison Jiang Xue had prepared for him.
