The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 914 Duan Family (9)
Chapter 914: Chapter 914 Duan Family (9)
Because in the room, he shockingly saw two pairs of green eyes, emitting a cold light beneath the chilly night air of late autumn, which instantly scared away his sleepiness, making him leap up from the bed.
He instinctively wanted to scream, but as he met the other’s chilling gaze, he found that he couldn’t even make a sound in his throat; he could only scurry and scramble over to Duan Shaowei’s bed, shaking him awake: "Young Master Duan, Young Master Duan."
Duan Shaowei was a bit grumpy from being awakened, naturally angry for being disturbed by Nie Xiaowu in the middle of the night; he was about to curse out loud when he suddenly caught sight of those two pairs of green eyes in front of the bed, and he too was scared nearly out of his wits.
He bolted upright in bed, hitting his head against the wall behind him, instantly feeling dizzy.
"Who... who’s there, are you human or a ghost?" He clutched the back of his head, mustering the courage to shout, yet his trembling voice betrayed his fear at that moment.
Nie Xiaowu was nearly frightened to death, hiding behind him without daring to show his face, his hands clutching Duan Shaowei’s clothes jittering uncontrollably.
Duan Shaowei’s hand was shaking as he reached for the bedside lamp; with the light turned on, the two pairs of eyes in front of him gradually became clearer – it was indeed Xiu Xi and that fat wolf, whom he had just been looking for during the day.
Duan Shaowei was sweating coldly; he wiped his face with his hand and asked Xiu Xi somewhat helplessly: "Kid, you could scare someone to death doing this in the middle of the night, you know that?"
Nie Xiaowu also popped his head out to look and upon seeing Xiu Xi and the wolf, he too breathed a sigh of relief.
But his relief did not last long; he heard Xiu Xi’s very cold voice warning them.
"Don’t come looking for me again, or I will kill you!" Xiu Xi stated each word distinctly, not concealing the murderous intent and hostility in his eyes at that moment.
Even though he was only a teenager, his gaze and demeanor made Duan Shaowei and Nie Xiaowu realize that he was definitely not bluffing; he truly intended to kill them.
Because in his gaze was an intent to kill, in those green eyes, a killing intent towards them.
Nie Xiaowu was stunned, and Duan Shaowei also stared blankly at him.
It was not until Xiu Xi walked away with the wolf that he came to his senses, shoving Nie Xiaowu behind him aside, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and ran to the doorway, holding back Xiu Xi unwillingly to ask: "Even if your own identity were a hundred times better than it now is, you wouldn’t care?"
Xiu Xi stopped in the corridor, not even turning his head back, but his parting words left Duan Shaowei chilled to the bone: "I am unwilling."
"But if you forcibly make me leave this place, the first one I will deal with is you."
Watching Xiu Xi’s fading figure in the corridor, Duan Shaowei couldn’t recover for a long time, because he knew Xiu Xi meant what he said; no matter what he did, he wouldn’t benefit from this situation.
The head of the Duan Family was already incapacitated, and now that a search has begun, they would indeed want him to return to inherit the Duan Family legacy.
It would be fine if Xiu Xi were willing, but he was not only unwilling, he even despised this approach; so much that even if Duan Shaowei took him away now and received a sum of money, he probably wouldn’t live to spend it.
Thinking this, Duan Shaowei shuddered from head to toe, suddenly realizing that for so long he might have been doing something foolish, utterly foolish.
Xiu Xi came and went without a trace, his arrival not catching the attention of the Ruan Family, nor did his departure disturb them.
He lay in bed looking at the moon outside the window, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up... We will never be apart, not in this lifetime.
