171: Chapter 171 My Turn, I Want to Make a Pinky Promise with You

Xia Ningxue finished her shower.

Luo Wei had also fixed the door lock.

Seeing Xia Ningxue wrapped in a bath towel, rushing to answer the phone.

Luo Wei frowned. "I say, aren't you a bit too busy?"

Xia Ningxue explained apologetically, "Under normal circumstances, I would be at work right now."

"But because I worked overtime late last night, the schedule was disrupted. Someone doesn't know about it, so they keep calling me."

Luo Wei commanded her firmly, "You're off the clock now. It's rest time. Turn off your phone!"

"Okay!" Xia Ningxue obediently turned off her phone.

She was only wrapped in a single bath towel.

She felt that she was truly being incredibly bold.

Seeing Luo Wei looking at her, Xia Ningxue lowered her head with a flushed face, wanting to go change.

To her complete surprise, Luo Wei gave her a tug, and she sat directly on his lap.

Up until now, the two of them had never had such an intimate physical encounter.

Xia Ningxue's face and ears turned red; she was so embarrassed she felt like she was about to start smoking.

"By the way, why are you blushing?"

"Weren't you quite bold on the phone just now?"

"I... I wasn't!" Xia Ningxue hurriedly denied. "I was delirious from the fever then, I was just talking nonsense..."

Luo Wei nodded and let out a long sigh of relief. "You scared me to death. I almost thought you were confessing your love to me."

Hearing Luo Wei say this, Xia Ningxue was stunned. What did Luo Wei mean by that?

"What do you mean, 'scared you to death'?" She looked straight at Luo Wei.

"Is it such a terrifying thing for me to confess to you?"

"Don't tell me you're going to reject me again?"

Ten years ago, Luo Wei had rejected her confession, and Xia Ningxue could understand that.

But now, Xia Ningxue couldn't understand why Luo Wei would reject her.

She wasn't bad-looking, had a great figure, and even had a job within the system.

Many people pursued her, and her family had tried to arrange blind dates for her many times, but there was always someone in her heart.

No matter what, she never expected that the person in her heart didn't have her in his!

Xia Ningxue's vision blurred, and something crystal clear appeared in her eyes.

Luo Wei smiled and pinched her tender pink cheek. "I think we're still young and should focus on our careers!"

"You're very busy right now, and I'm starting a business. Falling in love is such a waste of time, don't you think?"

"I don't care!" Xia Ningxue gripped Luo Wei's hand tightly; she was no longer shy now.

She was terrified that Luo Wei would leave her again. "Every week, you must make time to be with me!"

Xia Ningxue boldly made this request, but seeing Luo Wei's lack of reaction...

Her heart ached, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"You... you don't actually dislike me, do you...?"

"Silly girl!" Luo Wei smiled and wiped away her tears.

"If I didn't like you, why would I have rushed over so urgently the moment I heard your voice sounded wrong to save you!"

Speaking of which, Luo Wei had just saved her life. Confirming that Luo Wei liked her, Xia Ningxue broke into a smile through her tears!

She extended her pinky finger, wanting to pinky swear with Luo Wei. "Are you willing to spend some time with me every week?"

Luo Wei knew that once they pinky swore, it would be equivalent to establishing a romantic relationship!

His current situation really wasn't suitable for a relationship.

And he didn't want to be in one.

After thinking for a moment, he directly reached out his hand toward Xia Ningxue.

"Give me a drop of your blood. Let's sign a contract!"

"Blood?" Xia Ningxue didn't understand, but she obediently followed Luo Wei's instructions.

She went to find a needle and then returned to sit on Luo Wei's lap again.

She pricked her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. "And then? What do I do next?"

"Drop it into my palm!" Luo Wei explained with a smile. "After contracting with me, I'll make sure you live the high life!"

Xia Ningxue felt that this kind of contract was like a children's game, like a pinky swear promise for a hundred years.

After dropping a drop of blood into Luo Wei's palm, Xia Ningxue extended her pinky again. "Now, it's my turn. I want to pinky swear with you!"

"Alright!" With the contract completed, Luo Wei didn't have to worry about Xia Ningxue discovering his messy relationships with women in the future.

Although he had deceived Xia Ningxue, she would gain immense benefits from him.

In Xia Ningxue's eyes, their pinky swear was a confirmation of their romantic relationship!

Excited, she proactively puckered her small mouth toward Luo Wei for a kiss.

The moment they kissed, Xia Ningxue felt as if she and Luo Wei had formed countless intricate connections!

She didn't understand what was happening; she felt like she'd been struck by lightning—she had found the right person!

At this moment, a pleasant system notification sounded in Luo Wei's ear.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 intelligence point]

He had seized the information and helped Xia Ningxue's fever break, so it was only natural that he received an intelligence point.

At this very moment, Xia Ningxue was exceptionally excited. The boy she had pursued in her youth was finally hers!

However, no matter how excited she was, it couldn't overcome the waves of sleepiness hitting her.

Even though she had just taken a sip of spirit liquid and her physical exhaustion had been eliminated...

Her inner weariness had not vanished.

Like a baby, she nestled in Luo Wei's arms, wanting to have a good sleep.

"Wait until I fall asleep before you leave, okay?" she pleaded with Luo Wei.

"I haven't had a good sleep in a long time. I've been so busy lately!"

"For example, yesterday afternoon, someone was incredibly bold and actually opened fire and killed someone in a busy downtown area."

"You should know that we have to investigate any case involving firearms thoroughly!"

"I had already been busy all day, and before I could get off work, I was ordered to work overtime to conduct door-to-door investigations..."

"It's not just the shooting; there are all sorts of murder cases. It's truly endless and annoying..."

Xia Ningxue had no idea that the killer who murdered someone on the street yesterday was none other than Luo Wei!

It wasn't just the shooting; many of the murder cases in Honghai City were more or less related to him!

If Xia Ningxue knew that he was the mastermind behind it all, she wondered how she would react.

However, no matter what, Luo Wei would not let Xia Ningxue discover his true face!

Although Luo Wei didn't consider himself an evil being...

It was better to hide things that were too bloody!

He was just an ordinary man who loved money and beautiful women.

If it were anyone else with his current abilities, they would probably have thrown the whole world into turmoil long ago!

Xia Ningxue complained as she slowly drifted off to sleep. Nestled in Luo Wei's arms, she felt an infinite sense of security.

Once she was sound asleep, Luo Wei picked her up, gently placed her on the bed, and tucked her in.

Next, he had to deal with other intelligence.

When he had time, he would come back to spend time with this Police Beauty.

After kissing her smooth forehead, Luo Wei left silently.

Just as he closed the apartment door, the phone in Luo Wei's pocket rang.

Pulling it out, he saw it was a call from Yang Wenying. She surely wanted to talk about Tang Shuangshuang's disappearance...
