Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Where Do You Want to Start the Tutoring?

The night air carried a cool, sweet scent.

The sharp, cutting edge he carried with him softened the moment he slid open the glass door, dissolving into a tender, lingering embrace.

The woman lying on her side was deep in sleep and didn’t notice the man approach. The collar of her nightgown had slipped off one shoulder, revealing a patch of pale, smooth skin and her delicate collarbone.

His heart, like a barren wasteland showered by a sudden, sweet rain, sprouted vast swathes of green, bursting with life.

Qin Shiwei lowered his gaze and gently placed a kiss on the woman’s shoulder.

The pressure from above made it a little hard for Shu Yao to breathe. She felt as if she were trapped in a custom-made cage, with no escape.

His warmth and scent made her feel safe, but the domineering power, thick with possessiveness, left her at a loss.

Her long lashes fluttered as she slowly lifted her eyelids, her drowsy gaze falling upon a hand in a daze.

The man’s hand was braced on the pillow beside her, his fingers clean and long. His fingertips seemed to be pressing down too hard, causing his knuckles to arch slightly and stand out in sharp relief.

Spurred by some unknown stimulus, the hand gave an imperceptible tremor before tightening its grip with even greater restraint. His fingertips sank deep into the fabric, and veins swiftly surfaced on the back of his hand.

Shu Yao subconsciously reached out to the space beside her, but her hand met only air. The spot beneath her palm, however, was still warm.

Her poor Zaizai had been tossed into the sleep pod by his own father again.

Shu Yao turned to face the man, her weary eyes reflecting his ascetic, self-controlled face. Her gaze was as fragile as a delicate treasure, yet as soft as fine goose down.

It evoked a desire to cherish her forever.

Qin Shiwei forcefully reined in his spiraling thoughts and sat on the edge of the bed, arranging something.

"Where do you want to start with your tutoring?" As he spoke, Qin Shiwei pulled up a pile of study materials from his Light Brain.

"..." Shu Yao was on the verge of a breakdown.

’A beautiful night, with a beauty right in front of him. Are his thoughts even remotely appropriate for the occasion?’

"Sleep...ing." Shu Yao’s voice was coated in thick honey, both sweet and husky. "Or I won’t be able to get up in the morning. My little uncle is crazy. He wants to take Xiao Juzi to some new product launch..."

She was worried Shu Chao Yu wouldn’t be able to handle Xiao Juzi, so she had agreed to go with them.

Qin Shiwei thought for a moment. "The Kunlun Battle Armor model new product launch?"

"That’s the one." Shu Yao’s voice grew quieter and quieter. "I don’t get why guys all like this kind of stuff..."

’It would be one thing if Shu Chao Yu was the only one obsessed with it, but he actually got Xiao Juzi hooked!’

"Your little uncle is very busy," Qin Shiwei said. "I’ll take you."

Shu Yao mumbled softly, "He specially rearranged his work schedule for this. He said he wouldn’t miss it for anything."

"He will be very busy." A note of certainty entered Qin Shiwei’s voice.

Shu Yao was so tired her eyelids were fighting to stay open.

Qin Shiwei changed into his pajamas, lay down beside her, and held her, whispering softly, "Go to sleep."

"Mmm..." Shu Yao could barely hear her own voice.

Early the next morning, everyone in the Shu Family was woken by Shu Chao Yu’s miserable screams and wails.

"Why is this happening?!"

"Why today of all days?!"

"My new Kunlun! My limited-edition model!!"

Shu Chao Yu was a die-hard fan of the Kunlun Battle Armor. Like every boy who loved Mecha, he dreamed of collecting every single Kunlun Battle Armor model!

Today, the new Kunlun Battle Armor product launch was being held in Zone One. Not only would the new products be available for pre-sale, but attendees could also gaze upon the full-scale replica of the Kunlun: Kunlun No.2.

Most importantly, the limited-edition Kunlun Battle Armor model would be released at the launch event today! There were only fifty in the entire Federation!

Only those who attended the launch event would be eligible to acquire a limited-edition model!

Only fifty lucky people!

But just a moment ago, Shu Chao Yu had received an emergency notice from his unit. There was a critical mission today, and he could not be absent!
