Chapter 339: Just in Time
"..."
The four of them Qian Renxue, Ye Cheng, Bibi Dong, and Klee stood frozen in place, staring at each other in silence.
Qian Renxue's gaze fell on their joined hands.
For some reason… she suddenly felt like the outsider here.
"…Looks like I came at the wrong time…"
She wasn't sure why, but those words just slipped out. And the moment they did, the tension in the air multiplied tenfold.
Aside from little Klee, who continued looking up with her innocent, curious eyes, Bibi Dong one of the main parties involved suddenly felt extremely uneasy.
What's going on?
Why does this feel like… getting caught in the act?
She felt a strange sense of guilt, though she had no idea why.
"…No, you came just in time."
Unlike Bibi Dong's awkward reaction, Ye Cheng remained completely calm.
"I actually have something to discuss with you," he continued. "Shall we talk in private?"
Qian Renxue studied him for a moment.
She had a good idea of why he had come Klee.
After a brief pause, she nodded. "Alright. Follow me."
With that, she turned and walked ahead.
As she walked away, Ye Cheng did not immediately follow.
Instead, he crouched down slightly, looked Klee in the eyes, and said gently, "Uncle has something to talk about with that lady. I'll come back and play with Klee later, okay?"
"Mm! Uncle, see you later~"
Klee happily waved her little hand.
Ye Cheng chuckled and waved back before finally turning to follow Qian Renxue.
A Dangerous Walk
One in front, one behind.
The two walked toward a quieter, more secluded area.
Qian Renxue led the way, her long golden hair flowing behind her as she walked.
Ye Cheng followed at a steady pace.
His expression was calm, but deep down, he couldn't help but think
"Damn, this woman is dangerous."
That tiny waist… those curves… the way she walked…
Any man would have a hard time keeping himself in check!
Was she an angel or a succubus?!
Even though Ye Cheng quickly looked away after only a brief glance, maintaining his usual composed image, Qian Renxue still noticed it.
Now that she was a true god, her senses were sharper than ever.
Even that fleeting gaze, subtle as it was, did not escape her notice.
Her face flushed red.
"This guy! What was he looking at?!"
"Men are all the same! They act all noble on the surface, but deep down, they're nothing but perverts!"
Qian Renxue's heart raced in embarrassment, but…
She wasn't actually angry.
In fact
She felt… strangely happy.
Because to her, this wasn't just any ordinary man.
It was him.
He was someone she already admired and the fact that he found her attractive actually made her feel proud rather than offended.
She had deliberately worn a more form fitting outfit today to emphasize her figure.
She wanted to be seen.
And he saw.
That meant she succeeded.
After all women dressed up for the people they wanted to impress.
Still, even as her heart pounded, she forced herself to stay composed.
She acted as if she hadn't noticed anything and calmly continued walking.
After all, what could she even say?
"You pervert! How dare you look at me!"
That would just make her sound ridiculous.
Before meeting Ye Cheng in person, Qian Renxue had imagined him as someone cold, aloof, and disinterested in women.
The kind of man who only cared about cultivating power.
But now that she had actually met him, she realized he was far more grounded than she expected.
Despite his legendary status, he was still a normal man.
He still appreciated beauty.
That didn't make him any less powerful it just made him more real.
And honestly she liked that.
A Private Conversation
Eventually, they arrived at a secluded area, far from prying eyes.
Qian Renxue turned around, her expression calm and composed.
She had long suppressed her earlier embarrassment, and now she once again exuded the majestic aura of the Angel God.
A divine presence. Unshakable.
Looking at her now, Ye Cheng found it almost hard to believe this was the same woman who had just been shy and flustered a moment ago.
The contrast was insane.
She had the face of an angel but the body of a goddess.
A deadly combination.
"...Alright. This is far enough," Qian Renxue said, her tone cool and distant.
"What do you need to talk about?"
Ye Cheng was silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"…What are your plans for Klee?"
Qian Renxue blinked in surprise. "Plans?"
"I can sense it," Ye Cheng said. "The potential inside that child is unimaginable. She needs proper guidance. If she grows up without learning how to control her power, it could be dangerous."
Then, he added, "And as it happens White Cloud City has the best education resources in the world."
He didn't need to finish his sentence.
Qian Renxue immediately understood what he was implying.
He wanted to take Klee to White Cloud City.
He wanted to raise her.
In other words he was here to take their daughter away.
Even though she didn't want to admit it, Qian Renxue knew he was right.
White Cloud City was the best possible place for Klee.
And as her father, Ye Cheng's influence in that city would ensure that Klee was treated like a true princess.
But even so
She didn't like it.
Because that would mean
She would lose her.
She would lose her daughter.
