Returning to Hope Base, it was already eight o'clock. The entire main gate of Hope Base was dark and deserted.
Xu Qian sighed inwardly, seemingly destined to sleep outside.
"Get out of the car."
"Aren't we sleeping in the car?"
"Even if we sleep in the car, we need to switch to a different one."
He Yueyue blinked, surprised. Were there other cars they could switch to?
As Xu Qian's thoughts flickered, a RV appeared before them.
He Yueyue: ...?!!
Just as the two were about to get into the RV to sleep, the main gate of Hope Base suddenly opened.
A troop of soldiers rushed out in perfect formation.
Behind them, a jeep slowly approached, and a group of men in black emerged.
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. It seemed Guan Weiyun had been notified.
The spotlight overhead blazed to life.
A man slowly walked out from the base, his back to the light, his face obscured.
His very presence exuded an aura of authority, befitting a leader.
"Madam, you're home."
He Yueyue was stunned!
What was going on?
"Qianqian... Sister, is he your husband??"
Xu Qian smiled, her eyes narrowing as she looked at the man before her. "Temporarily," she said lightly.
"Temporarily what?"
The man stepped forward, wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her possessively into his embrace.
He Yueyue's eyes widened. Had her sister always been this girlish? She probably considered most men beneath her.
Guan Weiyun glanced at her, showing neither surprise nor curiosity. He didn't even seem interested in why her head was covered in grass.
Xu Qian explained calmly, "Arrange a place for her to stay. She will be my companion on future missions."
Guan Weiyun raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and waved for Su Chen to handle it.
Xu Qian glanced at He Yueyue and whispered reassuringly, "It's okay, just follow him. I'll find you tomorrow."
He Yueyue could only nod, following Su Chen meekly.
The man swept the young girl into his arms and slowly walked inside.
"Why did it take so long to kill a few mutants?"
Xu Qian wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning against his chest. "The mutants appeared not far from the Yu Corporation. I was afraid of an ambush."
Guan Weiyun nodded in understanding. The Yu Corporation now knew Xu Qian was destroying their bases everywhere and would surely be on high alert.
"Should we lay low for a few days, let them relax their guard?"
"No, we strike while the iron is hot. If there's enough time tomorrow, I'll visit two bases."
A glint of darkness flashed in Xu Qian's eyes. She wanted to destroy them while Song Xiaoping was away. Who knew what tricks he might come up with to deal with her.
They chatted as they returned to the villa. As soon as they entered, Xiao Hei rushed forward without hesitation.
Guan Weiyun frowned, quickly entering the villa and shutting the door on Xiao Hei.
Xu Qian chuckled, "Xiao Hei must get so bored with you, always working and then shutting him outside."
The man bent down, placing her on the sofa, and leaned over her. His voice was husky.
"Are you suggesting we... explore every corner of the living room with it watching?"
"You can shut up now!"
Xu Qian was truly defeated by his shamelessness.
Guan Weiyun didn't tease her further. He pushed himself up and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Xu Qian shook her head honestly.
"Go take a bath, and I'll make you some noodles."
Xu Qian pounced and gave him a kiss.
"Mwah! Thank you, Boss Guan."
Admittedly, apart from his overwhelming physical needs, this man was quite good. He genuinely treated her like his wife and was patient.
When Xu Qian emerged from her bath, the man had already cooked noodles and placed them at her spot. He sat opposite her, tapping away on his laptop.
The young woman raised an eyebrow and obediently ate her noodles.
Guan Weiyun waited until she had eaten a good portion before speaking. "Madam, the observatory just sent me a prediction. Natural disasters are expected in the coming days."
