Chapter 105: Traveling Late At Night

When Su Qiubai and the group of people returned to Qinghe City, the sky was already dark.

After sending Ying Zheng and the other emperors back to Su Qiubai’s home, the brothers of the Street Racers Gang left.

On the other hand, Gu Chengya went along with Mr. Dongfang to look for his friend. She only informed Su Qiubai that they would contact him the next day, and they would head over to look at the calligraphy works then.

Su Qiubai didn’t have time to care about them because the deadline for the task was almost over. He thought about sending the emperors back tonight, so that the first part of the exam would be completed.

After all, he wasn’t the same as he was before. He had to become strong as quickly as he could now.

There shouldn’t be anymore delays. When night fell, he opened the shuttle channel and sent all the emperors back.

In order to face Mr. Dongfang and Gu Chengya, who might visit him tomorrow, Su Qiubai took a lot of things from the palace before he left. He took some jades and others. Basically, he always filled the trunk of his car before he returned from time traveling. After clearing the trunk, he took another trip back. And he returned home with a car full of things once again.

Truthfully, this was also the emperors’ idea. They knew what kind of dangers Su Qiubai would have to face in the society of his time. Therefore, they gave him these things so that he could become stronger as soon as possible.

Regarding the emperors’ kindness, Su Qiubai didn’t refuse it; instead, he silently remembered this kindness in his heart. He would wait until there was a chance to repay them.

Therefore, when he finally sent Qian Long back in the evening, Su Qiubai’s room was filled with antiques from various dynasties.

It was no exaggeration to say that at that moment, the house door was closed, but Su Qiubai felt rich.

He was too rich!

However, at the same time, he also felt the potential harm of keeping these things. If not handled well, people might think that he was a cultural relics dealer, and he would be finished!

Swallowing his saliva, he quickly ran over and knocked on his neighbor’s door.

When he went to Dong Hai, he sent Wang Cai and Xia Rongrong’s little white dog there, so he wanted to take them back.

The two dogs were all good. He thanked the aunty next door. He originally wanted to give her some money, but she rejected his offer, and said that she didn’t need that money. She just told him to pay his monthly rent on time.

Su Qiubai had lived here for a long time, so he had long become accustomed to the aunty’s attitude. She was only fierce on the outside, and was actually soft on the inside. So he laughed and said nothing.

With the two dogs back at his home, Su Qiubai also didn’t bother them. He just lay on the sofa and began to study the navigation system.

After sending Qian Long back, the system prompted him that he had completed the first part of the exam, and the second part would be available after a while. He could also unlock more features by then.

Su Qiubai had long expected that he would be able to unlock new features, but he didn’t expect there to be such a huge amount of growth points after completing the task!

Su Qiubai’s tasks in the past were at most only a few hundred growth points.

But he was rewarded thousands of growth points this time!

Honestly, when he saw those growth points, he felt even more excited than seeing the antiques in his room.

Well, he could easily find ways to get those antiques, but growth points weren’t easy to obtain. 

Besides, with the growth points, he could get whatever antiques he wanted easily!

Su Qiubai immediately couldn’t care about anything else. Lying on the sofa, he began to do more research and pondered over how to maximize the use of these growth points!

He had to take every step carefully now. Otherwise, everything would be ruined!

After a really long time, Su Qiubai got up from the sofa. Then, he noticed the two dogs dragging a bunch of antiques to play.

Wang Cai was even wearing a crown on its head.

Su Qiubai was speechless upon seeing this. 

Darn it… Do you know how much this thing is worth? How could you play with it!

After explaining to the dogs for some time, Su Qiubai took the crown away from Wang Cai. The little white dog next to him laughed. Su Qiubai just stood there helplessly.

Originally, he thought about calling Xia Rongrong, but he was worried that she was already asleep by now.

However, just as he was hesitating, his cell phone rang.

Su Qiubai took a look at his phone. Unexpectedly, it was actually Xia Xiaomu.

He felt somewhat strange but he answered right away.

“Brother Bai, you’re finally back. If you hadn’t come back anytime soon, I think my sister would have been hospitalized again.”

Before Su Qiubai could speak, Xia Xiaomu spoke first.

Su Qiubai, who was quite relaxed initially, became nervous upon hearing this. Even he didn’t even notice how nervous he was.

Afterwards, Xia Xiaomu explained to him what had happened, including the crisis the Xia Group was facing due to the fraud, and that Xia Rongrong had to stay up late often because of this matter.

He also said that Xia Rongrong wouldn’t listen to anyone’s advice. She only thought about ways to minimize the pressure that the Xia Group was facing.

Xia Xiaomu said that he had wanted to call Su Qiubai earlier. After all, Su Qiubai was now a major shareholder of the Xia Group, and had the right to know this.

However, Xia Rongrong disagreed. She said that Su Qiubai didn’t have time to manage these in Dong Hai. And she kept insisting that she could handle it!

Xia Xiaomu learned from the brothers of the Street Racers Gang that Su Qiubai had returned today; that was why he called.

Actually, he didn’t have any other intentions . He just wanted to ask Su Qiubai to persuade Xia Rongrong to rest. After all, in Xia Xiaomu’s opinion, the whole Xia Group wasn’t as important as his sister.

After listening to him, Su Qiubai became really serious. No wonder Xia Rongrong sounded different when they called recently. He didn’t expect this to happen!

Finally before hanging up the phone, Su Qiubai told Xia Xiaomu that he would go over and see her.

After ending the call, he left the house after locking the door.

During the call, Xia Xiaomu mentioned that Xia Rongrong was still in the company building, so Su Qiubai drove directly to the Xia Group.

At that moment, outside of the president’s office of the Xia Group, Xia Rongrong’s assistant, Luo Qing, glanced at the busy figure inside the office. She sighed, not knowing what to do.

She had repeatedly advised Xia Rongrong to rest. But she never listened.

Just as she didn’t know what to do, Luo Qing suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

She felt a bit strange. No one would come to the president’s office at this time. Upon turning her head, she spotted an ordinary young man walking over.

Just as she was about to clarify who this man was, his image suddenly coincided with Su Qiubai’s appearance in her mind.

Luo Qing immediately felt nervous. She understood that this man was the company’s major shareholder, Su Qiubai… The person whom Xia Rongrong valued the most.

Luo Qing took two steps forward. Just as she was about to speak, Su Qiubai interrupted her.

He whispered to the girl, ”Is Xia Rongrong still in the office?” After getting a positive answer, he suddenly felt distressed, then he helplessly shook his head and slowly walked over, gently pushing the door open.

Xia Rongrong thought that it was Luo Qing, so she didn’t look up; instead, she continued analyzing the plan in her hands. She had to make up her mind tonight. The sooner the company implemented the idea, the lesser the losses the company had to face.

 Suddenly, a voice resounded in her ears..

“You’re too stubborn. If you keep this up, your health will definitely be affected again.”

At this moment, Xia Rongrong felt an indescribable feeling. She felt as if she had just been struck by lightning.

This voice was so sudden, but it was also very warm.

She raised her head up slowly and looked into Su Qiubai’s eyes. Her cheeks gradually reddened, for an unknown reason.

“Why are you here? Aren’t you tired after the journey back?”

However, Xia Rongrong was certainly not an ordinary woman. Her expression and her voice was very natural. The way her big eyes stared at Su Qiubaipu’s ordinary face had a really nice feeling to it.

“You just always have to keep things to yourself. If Xiao Mu didn’t call me, I wouldn’t know about this at all! You can’t always stay back so late.”

Along the way, Su Qiubai was quite angry, but he didn’t know why. But when he saw her face now, the anger he felt was gone. He only felt a kind of unspeakable heartache… but he didn’t know why.

“It’s not a big problem. You also have many things on your plate.”

Xia Rongrong said this naturally. But she felt as if the burden she had been carrying had just been reduced.

“Let’s go. It’s time to rest… I’m back, leave the rest to me!”

Su Qiubai didn’t know why his tone suddenly became arrogant. He even gripped Xia Rongrong’s hand after he finished talking.
