182: Lin Wan'er almost pulled out a gun and went to find Xiao Yan!

Team Leader Lin, we're here.

The female driver's highly professional voice came from the front row, her tone as steady as if she hadn't seen anything just now.

Lin Wan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; she pushed open the car door and rushed out, her movements frantic and clumsy.

Su Mo was still savoring that unique blend of intellect and innocence when her sudden movement caused him to sway, almost tumbling out after her.

"Damn it! Lin Wan, are you trying to murder your husband?!"

Su Mo steadied himself and looked at the woman who was fumbling to straighten her disheveled clothes and crooked glasses, crying out with an innocent expression.

Lin Wan's face flushed crimson, whether from anger or embarrassment.

She turned around, her chest heaving violently, her eyes behind her glasses practically spitting fire. She wished she could pull out her player-specific firearm and shoot this scoundrel on the spot!

However, just as she was fuming and about to unleash a torrent of curses, she realized the car was empty.

The man who had just acted like a beast towards her had vanished into thin air!

Only an empty seat, still warm from him, remained.

"Where is he?!" Lin Wan was stunned.

The female driver in the front row, looking through the rearview mirror, cautiously pointed to the empty seat.

"Team Leader Lin, Mr. Su… he just… seemed to turn into a streak of light and whoosh, he was gone."

Lin Wan: "…"

She looked at the empty seat, then instinctively raised a hand to touch her still slightly red and warm lips, where the scoundrel's domineering presence still lingered.

"Su Mo! You scoundrel!"

"You bastard! Just you wait!"

Her gritted-teeth voice echoed in the night wind, only to be met by the surrounding silence… Binhai City, Cloud Top Mountain Villa.

A flash of light appeared in the center of the living room, and Su Mo's figure stumbled into existence.

"Phew—"

He let out a long breath and raised a hand to pat his wildly beating chest.

"Kiss and run, it's damn thrilling!"

Although what he did was a bit underhanded, the thought of Lin Wan, that ice-queen older sister, breaking down in a mix of shame, anger, and helplessness, made Su Mo feel this risky move was totally worth it.

With a first time, could a second time be far behind?

However, he also knew that he had truly offended Team Leader Lin this time, and he would probably have to steer clear of the Dragon Bureau for a while.

Su Mo mused inwardly, then looked up at the second floor.

Xiao Wu's room still had a light on.

Thinking of the innocent rabbit girl, Su Mo's heart inexplicably tightened, and a wave of guilt washed over him.

He had been busy dealing with the dungeon and the Dragon Bureau these past few days, and he had left her alone in the villa for so long.

He lightened his steps and walked towards the second floor.

Gently pushing open the door, a cool moonlight spilled in from the window, casting a hazy silver glow over everything in the room.

Su Mo immediately saw the figure curled up by the bed.

Xiao Wu hugged her knees, burying her small face deeply, her soft pink long hair cascading like a waterfall. That lonely, slender back, like countless needles, instantly pricked Su Mo's heart.

He almost held his breath as he walked over, and a suppressed, wronged sob reached his ears.

"Su Mo… doesn't he want me anymore…"

"It's been three days… he hasn't come back to see me even once…"

"Did he… fall for another girl…"

Her intermittent murmuring, every word laced with a sob.

"Is it because I'm… not as pretty as Sister Yu Fu, not as strong as Sister Qiangwei, and not as gentle as Sister Qin Lan…"

As she spoke, she slowly raised her head, looking at her incredibly long legs, glistening in the moonlight, and her exquisite, perfect jade feet.

These were once her proudest features, but now, in her watery pink eyes, there was only confusion and self-doubt.

"Even… even my legs don't attract him anymore…"

"Waaah… what should I do…"

Xiao Wu's voice was filled with helplessness and despair, like a small animal lost in an unfamiliar forest, unable to find its way home.

In this cold human world, Su Mo was her everything.

Now, her entire world seemed to be collapsing.

These words, full of loss and self-doubt, were like tiny hammers, densely pounding on Su Mo's heart, dull and painful.

Only then did he realize how much his neglect these past few days had hurt this naive rabbit girl from another world.

She wasn't like Shen Yufu and the others, who had their own careers and foundations in this world.

She only had him.

He was her entire world.

And he, for his own affairs, had left his entire world here alone, letting her be consumed by loneliness and unease.

Su Mo's heart swelled with unprecedented self-reproach; he wished he could slap himself twice.

"Xiao Wu."

He walked to her, slowly knelt down, his voice containing a tenderness he hadn't even noticed himself.

This familiar voice, etched into her bones, made Xiao Wu's delicate body tremble violently.

She slowly raised her head in disbelief, and when she clearly saw the face she had longed for day and night, her eyes instantly filled with mist.

"Su… Su Mo?" Her voice was soft and trembling, afraid that everything before her was just a hallucination from crying too long.

"It's me."

Looking at her wronged and pathetic appearance, Su Mo's heart was breaking.

He couldn't hold back any longer, extending his arms and pulling the rabbit girl, who pained him to his very core, tightly, tightly into his embrace.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Wu. I've been busy with things these past few days, and I came back a little late."

Feeling that familiar, incredibly reassuring warm embrace and scent, Xiao Wu finally confirmed that this was not a dream.

He had really returned.

"Waaah—!"

Three days of accumulated grievances, longing, and fear completely erupted at this moment. She buried her small face in Su Mo's chest and burst into loud sobs.

Her small pink fists pounded Su Mo's chest again and again; rather than hitting, it was more like an outlet for her emotions.

"You big bad guy! You actually came back!"

"I thought… I thought you didn't want me anymore! And would never come back!" She cried breathlessly, accusing him incoherently.

"Never." Su Mo let her vent, only holding her tighter, his large hand gently stroking her soft long hair repeatedly.

"Silly girl, how could I not want you? You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Your legs are longer than a car model's, what man would dare not want you?"

"In this world, I only have you all."

Su Mo's assurance, like warm currents, quickly melted all of Xiao Wu's unease and coldness.
