The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 156: Farewell Tenderness

——Princess Mansion——

Lin Shanjuan took a shower early and lay in bed waiting for Qi Zhaomian to come back, while thinking about setting off tomorrow.

The door was pushed open by a white hand, and Qi Zhaomian came in with a little moisture. Her eyes fell on the bed at the first moment. Seeing Lin Shanjuan waving at her, the corners of her lips raised.

She locked the door and walked over, her long legs taking a few steps to the bedside. Lin Shanjuan lay on his side, propped up on his arm, watching her walk towards him step by step.

Although Qi Zhaomian was wearing clothes, she suddenly remembered the touch of the caress she had once had. Her palms felt hot and she suddenly felt a little shy.

Qi Zhaomian was puzzled and lifted the quilt to lie down. "What's wrong? Isn't it boring hiding under the quilt?"

Lin Shanjuan raised his blushing face and said, "Hmm...Mianmian, you are so beautiful."

The sudden love talk made Qi Zhaomian feel a little shy. She glared at him, "You only know how to say nice things to coax me."

Lin Shanjuan squeezed into her arms, took a deep breath of her scent, and his nerves became more relaxed.

"Really, when I saw you walking towards me step by step, I felt..."

Her mind was bolder than her mouth, and everything she thought about was something she couldn't say, and her ears gradually became hot.

Qi Zhaomian rarely saw her so shy, so he couldn't help but tease her: "Why, weren't you doing bold things in the office during the day, and now you're shy after coming back?"

Lin Shanjuan hummed, but did not deny it.

Her hug was too passionate, and Qi Zhaomian enjoyed this kind of security. He put one hand behind her head and patted her back with the other.

"If we can't get any evidence this time when we go to Yuezhou, forget it. Don't get hurt, and don't... Ji Shihan's fate is about to end. We're not in a hurry. You have to come back safely, okay?"

Lin Shan nodded obediently: "I know, I'll listen to you. I will take good care of myself and will definitely not get hurt."

Qi Zhaomian placed a light kiss on her forehead, like a dragonfly landing briefly and leaving in just a moment.

"Ye Xi seems to have something to say today. I guess it has something to do with Ye Lang."

Lin Shanjuan was immersed in the soft fragrance, his thoughts were not so sharp, and he only made a little sound to show that he was listening.

"She is a very thoughtful person. If it weren't for Ye Lang, she would never be so embarrassed."

Qi Zhaomian frowned and thought: "Do you think Ye Lang and Ji Shihan... huh?"

A sudden itch spread throughout Qi Zhaomian's body, and his toes curled up. "What are you doing?"

Lin Shanjuan stood near the water tower, holding the moon to his lips: "You speak, I am listening."

Qi Zhaomian was embarrassed and annoyed: "...Let go, I...I can't do this, tell me."

Lin Shanjuan held down her hand that was trying to stop her and simply stepped forward: "Then don't say it for now, we'll talk later."

“…Lin Shanjuan!”

"Well, call louder, I love to hear you call my name."

"...shameless."

Lin Shanjuan bit his teeth to prove that he still had them: "Nonsense, I clearly have teeth."

Qi Zhaomian: ...

-

After the clouds passed, the bed finally calmed down.

Qi Zhaomian lay tiredly in Lin Shanjuan's arms, her heart filled with reluctance to leave. She subconsciously hugged Lin Shanjuan's waist tightly, with her palms resting on her belly. The tight lines felt very comfortable to touch.

Lin Shanjuan kissed her gently: "If you've had a good rest, we can..."

Qi Zhaomian raised his hand to cover her mouth, gritting his teeth and saying, "Lin Shanjuan, when will you learn what moderation is?"

Lin Shanjuan was amused and covered her with the quilt obediently: "Okay, okay, let's go to sleep."

Qi Zhaomian then withdrew his hand and put his arm around Lin Shanjuan's waist.

After a while, she suddenly remembered two things that she had just wanted to say, but she was suddenly interrupted by this person and didn't have time to say them.

I remembered it now and hurried to remind her, fearing that I would fall asleep and not have time to tell her.

"Chang Lingyue was assassinated, probably by the Duke of Xingguo. This matter is not important. There is one thing you need to be wary of."

Lin Shanjuan responded.

"Some time ago, some southern barbarians entered Jingguo, claiming to be doing business. They only stayed for a few days and then left. But I always feel that it's not that simple. Maybe Ji Shihan hired an assassin from the southern barbarians. You must be extra careful."

Lin Shanjuan agreed without hesitation: "I will. Besides, there's Ye Xi. She's very familiar with the southern barbarians. Don't worry. I will definitely be back in a month and a half."

Qi Zhaomian finally felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep with his arms around Lin Shanjuan's waist.

If only the world could be pacified sooner, she would no longer have to endure the pain of separation. She would tie Lin Shanjuan to her side all day long, and ask her to watch the floating clouds and falling flowers with her.

The next day, Ye Xi got up early in the morning, said goodbye to his parents, packed his things, and mounted his horse to leave.

He Qing came out of the house to see her off, but she was too late. She only saw Ye Xi's back as she rode away on horseback, so she had to go back.

She didn't plan to live in Ye Lang's yard, so she had to go back to collect some clothes.

Fortunately, Ye Lang made quite a noise by throwing things last night, so she had a legitimate reason to move out of that dull and suffocating house and live in Ye Xi's yard.

Ye Lang probably didn't come back all night. He Qing didn't care where he went or when he would come back. She just focused on packing her things.

Just as he was getting ready, Ye Lang pushed the door open drunkenly.

He Qing looked at him warily. The strong smell of alcohol made her feel nauseous and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

Ye Lang's eyes were a little scattered, and there was still a woman's lip balm hanging on his neck. The fragrance from her body drifted over a little later, and the worldly smell made He Qing feel uncomfortable.

"Where are you going?" Ye Lang burped loudly, which made He Qing even more disgusted. "It has nothing to do with you."

Ye Lang was annoyed and grabbed her hand: "You are my woman, what's your attitude? It seems that I have been too lenient with you recently. I should teach you a lesson!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed across He Qing's eyes, but because the soldiers were still at the door, she resisted the urge to take action.

"Go and call the General and his wife."

Ye Xi gave the soldiers many instructions before leaving. Hearing this, Ye Lang did not dare to neglect them. He first asked a few people to stop Ye Lang, and then went to find Ye Xiurong himself.

"Let go of me!" Ye Lang was being pulled by several people, and he was extremely annoyed. "What? I can't make the decision in my own yard?"

"General, calm down!"

"General!"
