Chapter 393: Ma Qianjun Takes Action

A day passed by in the busy hustle and bustle. Xia Yu stretched lazily and turned his head to look at Li Qian.

Xia Yu's lips curled into a smile as he crossed his arms and quietly admired Li Qian's gentle and virtuous demeanor.

At this moment, he seemed to feel the fatigue from the day's work dissipate, and the sense of relaxation and pleasure enveloped him, making him feel completely at ease.

Li Qian was indeed a model wife. Although she was often quiet, she managed everything very well. Many tasks did not require Xia Yu's instructions; Li Qian could handle all the tedious preparations so that Xia Yu could start working easily.

Without Li Qian, Xia Yu could still get by, but with her around, his life became much easier and more comfortable, whether in daily life or at work.

Aside from her assistance to Xia Yu, Li Qian's personality also made Xia Yu very fond of her. She was refined and elegant, never unreasonable or temperamental, and was very caring and considerate. All these qualities made Xia Yu feel relaxed and comfortable whenever Li Qian was by his side.

Among these virtues, the most outstanding was Li Qian's celestial beauty.

Having such a pure and lovely beauty around every day, Xia Yu felt very motivated and enthusiastic about his work.

So, unconsciously, Li Qian, like a spring breeze, had gradually entered Xia Yu's heart, occupying a room in his luxurious heart, living there quietly.

At some point, Li Qian had finished organizing the documents, turned around, and found Xia Yu staring at her, his handsome face adorned with a charming smile.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Qian's heart fluttered, and a blush appeared on her beautiful face. She waved her delicate hand in front of Xia Yu and pouted her pink lips in a teasing manner.

Xia Yu was surprised, and seeing Li Qian's adorable appearance warmed his heart. He suddenly grabbed her hand, pulling the unprepared Li Qian into his embrace. As Li Qian gasped, he gently said, "Of course, I'm looking at my gentle and virtuous wife!"

...

After a joyful bout of playfulness, Li Qian sat on Xia Yu's lap, resting her head on his shoulder. She tilted her head to look at Xia Yu's chiseled face and asked in a soft and tender voice, "Xia Yu, will you be staying at home tonight?"

As she spoke, Li Qian gazed affectionately at Xia Yu.

She asked this because Xia Yu had gone back to his own home the night before and the night before that, leaving her alone at home. Although there was a maid living in the downstairs room, she still felt very lonely. Only when Xia Yu was by her side could she completely feel at ease.

"Haha, you miss me, right? Then I'll stay at your place tonight!"

Xia Yu gently caressed Li Qian's pretty face, his finger brushing her small nose, and said tenderly.

Li Qian's face turned rosy, and she was immersed in joy because she knew Xia Yu would be with her tonight.

"Alright, it's getting late. We won't eat at home tonight. I'll take you to Harbor City for some good food, and you can also see how bustling my Harbor City is at night."

Looking at the time, Xia Yu realized it was already 7 PM, and night had fallen. He patted Li Qian's hand and said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Li Qian obediently stood up, tidied Xia Yu's clothes, and then accompanied him out.

As they walked, Xia Yu noticed that only a few employees were still working late, while the others had left long ago. He praised the remaining employees and then headed towards the exit with Li Qian.

But before they could leave, Li Wuming reached out to stop Xia Yu and reminded, "Boss, don't go out so quickly. There's something going on outside."

Seeing Li Wuming's serious expression, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, his mind racing. He nodded slightly and then pulled Li Qian to a blind spot with cover.

This reaction from Xia Yu made Li Wuming relax slightly, further confirming Xia Yu's suspicion.

At this critical moment, Xia Yu's vigilance was extremely high. With so many memories and his understanding of the world's dark sides, Xia Yu was well aware and did not hold any illusions.

To put it bluntly, life was so good now; he wasn't ready to die so quickly, so he had to protect himself well.

Although Li Qian was somewhat nervous, she held onto Xia Yu's arm tightly, which made her feel secure.

"Brother Li, where's my brother?"

Li Qian's bright eyes scanned the door, and she noticed that her usually present brother, Ma Qianjun, was absent. She anxiously asked Li Wuming.

Xia Yu, upon hearing this, also looked at Li Wuming.

After all, Li Wuming usually stayed downstairs at the company and had more interactions with Ma Qianjun, as was the case today.

"He went out. He should be back soon. It was he who asked me to stop you from going out."

Li Wuming explained.

Xia Yu's gaze deepened, and he nodded almost imperceptibly, his eyes drifting out towards the door.

"It seems like this is the first time he's taken the initiative to do something. Even he's moved, which means the situation isn't good!"

Xia Yu thought to himself, expressionless.

With Li Wuming and Yan Shining's reminders, even though Ma Qianjun had never openly admitted anything, Xia Yu had speculations about Ma Qianjun's identity, and he was almost certain that Ma Qianjun used to be an assassin.

And a very formidable one at that.

Previously, under Li Qian's persuasion, Ma Qianjun reluctantly accepted a security position Xia Yu offered, but he spent his days idling at the company and rarely interacted with others.

Even towards Xia Yu, Ma Qianjun had a cold attitude, treating him as an ordinary person. It was only towards Li Qian that Ma Qianjun showed a softer side.

But now, hearing from Li Wuming that Ma Qianjun, who was usually immovable, had actively taken action and even asked Li Wuming to stay at the company to prevent Xia Yu from leaving, it was clear that Ma Qianjun thought there was danger outside!

And Ma Qianjun should be out there dealing with the danger!

"Qianqian, it looks like we won't be able to go to Harbor City tonight."

Xia Yu gently caressed Li Qian's hair with some regret.

"That's alright. We can go another time when you're free. Anyway, Harbor City is yours."

Li Qian smiled gently.

"Haha!"

Xia Yu laughed, gently holding Li Qian's hand, and said nothing more, waiting quietly.

"Tap tap tap..."

After an unknown period, a series of steady and powerful footsteps approached from afar.

"Boss, he's back!"

Li Wuming's eyes were sharp as he recognized Ma Qianjun's figure and turned to Xia Yu.
