Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Qin Tianxuan Flees in Disarray

Outside, Qin Tianxuan reviewed a report from Prince on his phone as he walked toward the adjacent lounge.

The plan against Luo Tianying was proceeding very smoothly this time.

Business warfare wasn’t exactly Qin Tianxuan’s area of expertise.

That was only because he disliked business and had always left such matters to Prince.

Now that the Northern Domain was pacified, he had no choice but to personally manage his business empire. To do so, he had to learn about the various competitions and conflicts of the corporate world.

But after reviewing a few documents, he found himself thinking, ’This business warfare stuff is almost too simple.’

The world of business is a battlefield!

’And when has Qin Tianxuan ever feared conquering a battlefield?’

”Prince, remind Ye Mingzhu that business warfare is a game of capital, and money is ammunition! What I’m giving her is a near-endless supply of it! Our financial power crushes the Luo Family, so we need to end this fast! Once I set my plan in motion, Longyue Group must follow up immediately. Be ready to swallow the Luo Family’s Linghai National Medicine and their sixty-plus properties in Jinling! This time, I’m going to wipe them out completely!”

Qin Tianxuan hung up and knocked lightly on the door.

A flirtatious voice answered from inside the room. ”Is that Mr. Qin? Come on in!”

Hmm?

’Why does Chuchu’s voice sound so strange?’

’This is the lounge next to Ye Xuanxuan’s suite, which is supposed to be our official meeting place. Why is there a ”Do Not Disturb” sign on the door?’

Qin Tianxuan frowned. ”Chuchu? Have you caught a cold?”

”Come in, quick!” Chuchu’s voice grew even more seductive.

Qin Tianxuan pushed the door open and walked right in.

The scene before him left him dumbfounded.

Chuchu’s blouse was almost completely unbuttoned. She held a glass of red wine, and the stockings visible beneath her short skirt were torn, creating a wild, untamed look.

’What is she doing?!’

’Can she really still not know who I am?’

’I, Qin Tianxuan, am your cousin!’

’My mother, Chu Xinyue, is your aunt!’

Qin Tianxuan spun around. ”Get dressed!”

Emboldened by the wine, Chuchu came up and hugged him from behind. ”Tianxuan, if you help me rescue my family, I’ll give you everything I have!”

Qin Tianxuan grabbed a bath towel from the sofa nearby and wrapped it tightly around her.

He looked at Chuchu, his eyes clear and bright. ”My mother is Chu Xinyue! I’m your cousin!”

BAM!

Chuchu’s face went white. She stumbled backward, nearly knocking over the table lamp behind her!

She covered her face in disbelief.

”N-no one ever told me... Y-you’re lying!”

Qin Tianxuan watched her with a cold expression. ”I saved you during that bombing because we’re family. I was actually planning to give the Chu Family a chance. Heh. It’s a shame Chu Qianqiu failed to seize it.”

Chuchu was now dying of shame.

’I... I actually tried to do something like that with my own cousin?’

’This... This has to be the most humiliating moment of my life.’

She scrambled to put her clothes back on, wiping sweat from her forehead. ”Then that’s all the more reason for you to save the Chu Family!”

Her emotions were a tangled mess. At that moment, all Chuchu really wanted to do was burst into tears.

Qin Tianxuan looked at his disheveled cousin, a flicker of coldness in his eyes. ”Fine. I can save the Chu Family. I’m well aware of your family’s situation. You’re being held hostage by Luo Tianying in a villa. Tell me, what are his conditions?”

Still wrapped in the bath towel, Chuchu lowered her head. ”The Luo Family’s young master has something in your possession. He wants to trade it for my family!”

”Go back and tell Luo Tianying the exchange is tomorrow morning. He can pick the place. I’ll go alone.”

Qin Tianxuan’s answer was decisive.

Tears streamed down Chuchu’s face—tears of gratitude.

She couldn’t stop herself from rushing forward to hug him again.

Qin Tianxuan didn’t dodge this time, but her outstretched arms quickly fell to her sides.

Now that her family’s crisis had a chance of being resolved, the memory of what she’d just done came flooding back.

Chuchu looked at the man before her, and recalling that she’d once been infatuated with him, she was hit with another wave of shame.

”Cousin, I’ve said bad things about Aunt Xinyue in the past. That’s because my grandfather told me ever since I was little that she wasn’t a good person... I’m sorry!” Chuchu said, bowing deeply.

Qin Tianxuan had already turned to leave. ”Go back and handle your business. As for the Chu Family and me, that’s a personal grudge. We’ll settle our score in due time.”

Huh?

’What does that mean?’

Chuchu was stunned.

Still wrapped in the bath towel, the blush of shame yet to fade from her cheeks, she made a clumsy exit.

Ye Xuanxuan had been watching from her suite next door the entire time. Seeing this, she flew into a rage. ”What were you two doing? Right in front of me? Qin Tianxuan, get over here right now! How could you do this to the memory of my dead sister?”

Qin Tianxuan appeared and threw open the door. ”Everyone else, out!”

The female guards assigned to Ye Xuanxuan immediately exited, standing guard outside the door.

Qin Tianxuan poured a glass of wine and sipped it slowly. ”Ye Xuanxuan, listen closely. My mother was from the Chu Family. That makes Chuchu my cousin, understand? I have never done anything to let your sister down!”

Ye Xuanxuan said nothing, simply walking straight up to him.

RRRIP! She tore open her own clothes!

”You!” Qin Tianxuan nearly spat out his wine. ”What are you doing?”

Trembling but proud, Ye Xuanxuan declared, ”Why can’t it be me? I can do anything for you, too! Brother-in-law, I might as well just tell you—I’ve been in love with you for a long time!”

Qin Tianxuan turned and fled!

Her confession caught him completely off guard, and frankly, it was a little repulsive.

Ye Xuanxuan was spoiled and willful, and she looked so much like his beloved Shuanghua. That made the scene just now all the more shocking.

After fleeing into the hallway, Qin Tianxuan wiped the sweat from his brow. ”Guards!”

”Sir? We’re here!”

”Lift all restrictions immediately. All of you, withdraw. Let Ye Xuanxuan do as she pleases. Do not interfere!”

He had completely restored Ye Xuanxuan’s freedom, and now he too beat a hasty retreat.

Back in the suite, Ye Xuanxuan burst into tears. ”Why did you run? What’s wrong with me? Am I some kind of monster? Did I really scare you off?”

Qin Tianxuan didn’t stop until he was back at Shenghua Hospital.

It wasn’t until he was sitting before Han Biwei, watching the color slowly return to her cheeks, that his heart finally began to settle.

He held Weiwei’s small hand and sighed softly. ”Things have been so chaotic lately. You have to wake up soon. I miss you so much.”

Outside the hospital room, Niannian peeked in. A look of delight filled her beautiful, wide eyes as she watched the scene unfold.

She turned and gestured to Han Qian Jun and Jiang Wan Jun. ”Daddy and Little Mommy are going to be together forever!”
