Chapter 733: Chapter 205 Xu Shu’s Preparation (Request for Monthly Votes)_2
"Hehe, with this arrangement, when I hunt down the Esoteric believers tomorrow, I won’t have to be distracted by worrying about home. I can devote myself wholeheartedly to the Judgement Department’s matters, which is just perfect."
Xu Shu’s eyes twinkled with amusement, his plans ticking along nicely.
He glanced at Da Ju, thinking to himself how great this girl was—both big-hearted and attentive. Such a simple task, she would undoubtedly execute it perfectly.
But why was she blushing?
Upon reflection, Xu Shu understood.
It’s because she’s alone with her superior, and too scared!
Xu Shu found it a bit funny, reminiscing how she, along with another, had once tried to kill him—back then, she was not like this at all. Indeed, one level higher in office could crush a person.
"Don’t be too nervous, it’s not anything important. I’ll explain more when we get home," Xu Shu said.
"Mhm~" Tang Ying lowered her head, her voice soft and tiny.
The two of them walked on foot, yet their pace was not slow.
Tang Ying was a "Rascal" who’d advanced to ’assassin.’ When it came to leg strength, she even surpassed Xu Shu.
In just over ten minutes, they went from the Judgement Department to the residential complex where Xu Shu lived. Amidst the occasional passionate moans from upstairs, they entered Xu Shu’s home.
His adoptive parents were at home, so naturally, upon Xu Shu’s late-night return, there was a warm and genial exchange between them.
Seizing a moment during their chat, Xu Shu introduced Tang Ying:
"This is my father Zhou Junjie, my mother Li Guoying. Tomorrow, I’ll be counting on you to help look after them!"
Tang Ying quickly spoke up, earnest and serious: "Director Xu, leave it to me. I guarantee the task will be done."
Though she promised with a stern expression, she thought to herself, why did Xu Shu bring me straight to meet his parents?
Isn’t this moving a bit too fast?
Tang Ying’s heart rate began to speed up.
As for Father Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, while they found Xu Shu’s decision to have them stay at the Judgement Department all day puzzling, after previous events, they had come to unconditionally obey their son.
Whatever Xu Shu said, they would listen, no questions asked.
But had Ashu received a promotion?
Blink of an eye, he’d become ’Director Xu’?
Being addressed with the title ’Director’ indicated no small position!
But what exactly had happened, necessitating the relocation of family?
Father Zhou was both surprised and vigilant.
Mrs. Zhou, however, was more interested in Tang Ying.
What was the background of this red-haired girl?
What was her relationship with Ashu?
That figure, that face, that demeanor... sheesh, this one outshines the widow with a child that came before by who knows how far!
Although they were colleagues, getting this close was quite dangerous...
Mrs. Zhou kept stealthily sizing up Tang Ying.
Xu Shu was not concerned about this; his mind was entirely on the matters of the next day.
After making all the arrangements, Xu Shu sent his parents off to rest.
Then, Xu Shu took a set of clean pajamas from his sister’s room and said to Tang Ying, "Stay the night, and we can leave early tomorrow morning. Go take your shower."
Having said that, Xu Shu pushed her into the bathroom and went back to his own room.
Tang Ying stood alone, holding the pink underwear in her hands, frozen in place.
He told her to shower first...
This, this was no longer a hint, but an outright directive!
Tang Ying was internally struggling.
To avert wandering thoughts, she undressed, turned on the shower, adjusted the water temperature, and let the water flow onto her pure white skin, while her gaze settled on the pink silk underwear beside her.
So he had prepared women’s clothes too...
He had planned this in advance, wanting to sleep with me?
Damn it, he seemed so proper on the road, but in reality...
No, Tang Ying, dear Tang Ying, you already knew he wasn’t proper, didn’t you?
The first time you met, he dared to touch your body wantonly; you were clear about his character a long time ago!
You know everything, yet you still came tonight, so why the charade?
...Amidst the rushing water, Tang Ying’s gaze turned firm.
Be bold!
Why can’t a woman take the initiative?
There are so few good men, it’s normal for them to be a bit lecherous.
Some things should be fought for!
After washing herself until she was blushing like a freshly bathed lamb, Tang Ying somewhat awkwardly donned the robe.
The sleepwear was a touch too small, making certain parts uncomfortably tight, especially around her chest.
Hah, men, their hearts are thieves, but are they nearsighted too? How could he get something so obvious as the size wrong?
Seems his experience is rather limited, maybe just like mine, still the first time?
Tang Ying pressed down on her ample chest, feeling a bit of confidence returning.
Then, she stepped out of the bathroom, walking shyly to Xu Shu’s bedroom door.
Whew!
After several deep breaths, Tang Ying with her glistening lips, grasped the doorknob, ready to offer herself.
Click, click!
Despite her forceful tries, the door wouldn’t budge.
Tang Ying looked confused, slightly bewildered, and instinctively tried the doorknob a few more times.
However, the door remained immobile.
"Um, Director Xu? Director Xu?"
Standing there unable to enter, Tang Ying was taken aback, calling out softly with a mellow voice like a cat in heat.
Soon, hustle and bustle sounds came from inside, mixed with a sleepy voice:
"Finished showering? Get some rest early! Hoo hoo!"
"Um..."
Rest?
What rest?
Failing to get the expected ’open the door’ response, Tang Ying glanced back instinctively.
She suddenly realized that, unbeknownst to her, the sofa everyone had sat on had been unfolded, transforming into a makeshift small bed.
On the bed, the blanket and pillow were all neatly arranged, everything in order.
