Chapter 693: 434 Breaks Scandal, Green Clouds Eclipse the Sun (3 More Updates)

Shen Shuci had a restless night and a bizarre dream, waking up to the bright morning light and checking her phone to see a message from Huo Qinqi:

"I’m downstairs at your place, leaving at eight, and I want to see you."

He had sent the message at around 5:40 AM, and it was already 6:30 AM. Shen Shuci was supposed to go to the Shen Family elders for breakfast and then start her day.

Thinking about Huo Qinqi leaving and uncertain when she might see him again, she hesitated and then called Tang Wan.

"Go ahead and take care of what you need to; Xiaowu and I will head over early," Tang Wan didn’t think much of it.

When Shen Shuci went downstairs, the Huo Family’s car was already parked below. As she got in, Huo Qinqi, who had been resting his eyes, looked at her as she entered.

"Did you... sleep poorly last night?" Although Huo Qinqi’s expression was unchanged, one could always tell if a person had stayed up late by their eyes.

She had some dark circles; girls could always cover them with makeup, but men, well, they wouldn’t use concealer.

Huo Qinqi had gone to bed late himself, receiving a call to return to base at four in the morning and had slept less than two hours.

"Oh, last night our grandfather..." Huo Qinqi was familiar with Shen Shuci, and he was about to speak when a heavy cough from behind made him instantly fall silent and he dared not continue.

"What happened last night?" Shen Shuci was curious.

"What would you like for breakfast?" Huo Qinqi interrupted her.

"I’m not picky."

Shen Shuci knew he was hiding something from her, but as the person in question kept a straight face, she didn’t dare to joke, "When will you be back this time?"


"I have a mission, and I’ll return once it’s completed."

"Okay." Shen Shuci pursed her lips, knowing she couldn’t ask more. After a few seconds, she softly added, "Take care."

Huo Qinqi looked at her deeply.

In reality, he was considering the suggestion made by the old lady earlier; his former teammates had almost all stepped back from the front line to take on other roles, or work in institutions, get married, have children, and live a comfortable and peaceful life.

...

In the following days, Tang Wan and Shen Shuci joined the elders to tour the attractions in Beijing and enjoy the cuisine, passing the time swiftly until it was almost time for the elders to return.
