Chapter 434: World City Date

Chapter 434: Date in World City

Shen Que was breathing heavily, "Baby, tell me I did good."

Wu Yue's face turned bright red as she turned away without speaking.

Wu Yue pushed him weakly, "I can't take it anymore."

Shen Que, "You used to say it."

Wu Yue, "Back then, you were always shy. If I say it now, you’ll only get even more worked up."

Shen Que, "I was already excited back then. If I didn’t act a little shy, you wouldn’t keep rewarding me."

Wu Yue completely refused to continue communicating with Shen Que.

Shen Que’s gaze darkened as he leaned closer to Wu Yue, "If you don’t say it, I’ll have the shuttle fly a few more laps right now."

Wu Yue sat up, furious, and wrapped her arms around Shen Que’s neck, "Honey, you’re amazing."

Seeing Shen Que’s eyes light up, Wu Yue began kissing his ear, "Honey, the way you talk is so sexy. I really love it."

Shen Que’s face slowly turned red. A sly grin flashed in Wu Yue’s eyes, "I thought you weren’t shy? Weren’t you just pretending to be shy?"

Shen Que looked away, "I was just pretending. Not shy at all."

Wu Yue cupped his face and kissed him, beaming, "You’re so adorable like this. No matter what you’re like, I’m crazy about you. Shen Que, I really love being with you."

Shen Que shot Wu Yue a glance and muttered, "Damn."

Not saying anything was one thing, but once she started, it felt so good it almost did him in.

Shen Que quickly showered Wu Yue. By the time they changed clothes, the shuttle was just beginning its descent.

....

Escorted by Lu Li, Wu Yue headed to the research institute for a physical check-up.

Lu Li, "Master Fu, Miss Yu Hua, and Miss Chun Ya are all waiting for you there."

Wu Yue nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Li glanced at Shen Que, who was lingering a few steps behind Wu Yue, "Prince Noah."

Shen Que nodded, "You go ahead. I’ll wander around."

If he showed up with Wu Yue, these people would likely tease her, and maybe even try to help them get back together, which would just make her embarrassed again.

As soon as Shen Que left, Lu Li’s expression instantly turned as if the sky had fallen.

What’s going on! These two don’t seem to show any signs of reconciling at all!

Lu Li asked Wu Yue tremblingly, "Miss Wu Yue, you and Prince Noah…"

Wu Yue, "...We’re fine. He was just pretending."

Lu Li didn’t believe it at all. He tried hard to suppress the sorrow in his eyes, but it was impossible to fool him!

He had seen how close Wu Yue and Shen Que were before. How could Shen Que possibly let Wu Yue go for a physical check-up alone!

Miss Wu Yue really has it so tough, separated once again from the father she had just found, and now her lover has forgotten her!

Throughout the entire journey, Lu Li remained completely lost in his own imagination, unable to extricate himself. No matter what Wu Yue said, in his eyes, it was just her fragile yet stubborn front, putting on a brave face for love.

By the end, Wu Yue had completely given up.

Forget it—she thought—let him think what he wants....

When they arrived at the research institute, Wu Yue could sense an unusually weird vibe. Everyone looked at her with cautious, nervous glances, afraid that a single wrong word might set her off.

Wu Yue didn’t need to guess—she knew it was all because of Lu Li’s wild imagination and his advance heads-up.

Wu Yue tried to explain, "Shen Que and I really have patched things up."

Jiang Yuhua suddenly hugged her tightly. "Don’t say anymore, Mei Bao. Sister knows how hard this must be for you."

Wu Yue: "..." Not at all. What else was she supposed to say?

Wu Yue: "Should I literally call Shen Que over and make out with him right here for you all to see?"

Everyone in the room turned to look at her abruptly. "Can you really do that?"

Wu Yue texted Shen Que:

"Wu Yue: Come to the research institute to find me."

"Shen Que: I’m not going. If I go, they’ll all figure everything out."

"Wu Yue: If you don’t come, I’ll be angry."

"Shen Que: What if you get angry?"

"Wu Yue: If I get angry, I’ll ignore you!"

"Shen Que: I couldn’t care less. Just think about all that time you invested on the airship."

"Wu Yue: ..."

"Wu Yue: Don’t come then!"

"Shen Que: After your check-up, I’ll take you to World City. They’ll figure it out on their own."

A slight smile tugged at Wu Yue’s lips. Facing everyone staring, she said with a laugh:

"Shen Que says he’s not coming, but he’ll show me around World City later."

Jiang Yuhua and Chun Ya exchanged a glance, their expressions looking even more heartbroken.

Since when had Shen Que ever refused Wu Yue!?

Not coming was one thing, but he was even stringing her along!!

Yeah right! Everyone knew that World City was on lockdown—there was nowhere to have fun at all!

Seeing Wu Yue so head over heels in her love, it was clear she had fallen in way too deep!!

Everyone knew exactly what was up—they understood exactly what Shen Que’s refusal to meet Wu Yue’s family and friends meant.

But seeing the look of pure happiness on Wu Yue’s face, they couldn’t bear to say more.

They all played along enthusiastically, nodding, "How thoughtful of Prince Noah!"

Wu Yue felt a subtle, strange sensation: "..."

Where did their minds go this time?

Wu Yue’s body was not badly hurt, but she definitely couldn’t engage in dangerous, high-intensity training and combat for a short period.

The impact of the evil energy caused her skin, muscles, and meridians to rupture repeatedly, much like someone recovering from a major illness, requiring a period of careful recuperation.

Fu Yixue, "Don’t go running around lately; things are unstable out there. Just stay put at Blaze.

Even if you and Shen Que are having relationship issues, given his character, he will definitely do everything he can to protect you."

Wu Yue, "..." So they still don’t believe me after all.

Wu Yue nodded dejectedly, giving up completely, "Okay, Aunt Fu."

Fu Yixue, "Back then, your parents took two or three years to fully work things out. Don’t rush it; let things take their natural course."

Wu Yue was puzzled, "Why would it take so long?"

Fu Yixue, "You know your father was devoted to your mother. Once devotion is involved, he becomes cautious about many things."

Wu Yue understood. In short, he felt it would be disrespectful to her mother. Once he became overly cautious, their relationship would stagnate, and over time, it would become a rut, making it difficult to break through.

Wu Yue blinked, "Then how did they eventually...?"

Jiang Yuhua leaned in excitedly, "Auntie got fed up with Uncle dawdling all the time and just pinned him down."

Fu Yixue pushed Jiang Yuhua away, "Little girl, don’t gossip about adult matters behind their backs."

Chun Ya winked at Wu Yue, "Hurry up, go hang out with Shen Que."

As soon as Wu Yue left the central city area, Shen Que followed at a distance behind her.

As the secretariat staff all withdrew, the distance between the two grew closer, just about a fist’s length behind her and slightly to the side.

Wu Yue’s hand hung at her side, and Shen Que grabbed it, interlacing their fingers tightly.

Shen Que had always thought Wu Yue was really small, her hands tiny. After the apocalypse, people’s physiques got stronger, and the average body size had increased quite a bit.

But perhaps because Wu Yue grew up in an orphanage, malnutrition had left her build very slight.

Shen Que couldn’t help but envelop Wu Yue’s entire hand in his palm,

lowering his head to ask her, "How was the physical checkup?"

Wu Yue, "They said I shouldn’t engage in combat or training recently and need to rest and recover for a while."

Shen Que, "Then can we still do it?"

Wu Yue blushed and glared at him, "No."

Shen Que didn’t believe it, "You’re probably too embarrassed to ask. I’ll ask."

Wu Yue was so flustered she almost jumped, "You’re not allowed to ask!"

Shen Que, "Then you tell me, can we or not?"

Wu Yue ignored him, shook off his hand, and walked ahead.

The order in World City was slowly returning to normal. Wu Yue suddenly stopped in front of an ice cream stall.

Shen Que followed and stopped beside her. He said, "Back when I brought you to buy weapons, you haggled and then treated me to ice cream."

Wu Yue, "You were wearing a mask and couldn’t even eat it. It just melted and you threw it away."

Shen Que, "Did that piss you off?"

Wu Yue stayed silent.

Shen Que immediately understood—Wu Yue must have been angry back then.

Shen Que, "So you pissed me off during the teleportation point scramble just to get back at me?"
