Chapter 658: Not an expert when it comes to Ruiling

“It’s going to be tomorrow night,” Ruiling proudly smirked as she looked at Xinyue, giving him the information of what Tian Guo told her. “They are going to move all the stuff to X city on the university campus.”         

Xinyue narrowed his eyes. “How do you know Tian Guo anyway? Why would he reveal it to you?”     

Just a few minutes ago, he got a report from Yun Su that Tian Guo was frequently meeting a woman. They investigated his outings to know if the meetings could lead them to the gang or their shady deals. But to his shock, he saw a picture of him talking to Ruiling.     

He was about to leave to meet Ruiling to ask questions of what was going on when she dropped by herself.     

Ruiling shrugged. “We met in the mall by coincidence. Precisely, his annoying sister who has all the traits to become a white lotus.”     

She gave a recap of the events, making Xinyue tilt his head in deep thought. “And you thought that you could scoop out information from him?”     

She sneered. “He was desperate to impress me, knowing that I am from the Zhao family. I just used that to my advantage, and it worked. I also recorded our conversation so you have the evidence too.”     

Ruiling cleared her throat and felt excited to hear his praise. Surely, she wasn’t as pro as Xinyue in all this stuff, but she imagined that he would be at least proud of her to be able to manage this all on her own.     

“Idiot!”     

“…”     

Xinyue held her arm and pulled her closer, his eyes swirling with something dark and dangerous. “Why did you interfere in this mission?”     

Ruiling was left, speechless. “Hey! What do you mean by interfere? Bro Wei told me about Tian Yan and his dealings. Since I met his son by coincidence anyway, I thought it wasn’t a bad idea to learn the inside scoop through his son.”     

“So what?” He glared at her. “It doesn’t matter how you met him. You shouldn’t have poked your nose in this mission! You didn’t even bother to tell me about it. You headed straight away without focusing on the consequences!”     

“What consequences? I am already done with him!”     

He gritted his teeth. “You don’t understand, Ruiling! You shouldn’t have involved yourself with Tian Guo! Why didn’t you just stay away from all this?”     

She shook off his arm from her hand, trying not to cry in front of him.     

Because I just wanted to help you. I wanted to make you happy. I wanted to hear you praise me.     

But clearly, I was an interference…     

She bit her lip hard, feeling utterly embarrassed. “Well…Now I know I should have st-stayed away from YOUR mission.”     

Xinyue froze, watching the tears pile up on her eyelashes. “Wait, Ruiling. I didn’t-”     

“I am sorry. I did something…unnecessary. You can use the information if you want or throw it away. I won’t interfere in your life anymore…”     

When she knew she wouldn’t be able to hold back her tears, she quickly ran away.     

“No, wait! Ruiling! Where are you going?”     

She was already gone, and he banged his fist on the desk, furious at himself. “Damn it!”     

His assistant, Yun Su, gulped and peeked at him from behind a pillar. “You shouldn’t have talked to her like that.”     

Xinyue gave him a frosty stare, making him jump in his place. “Do you think I wanted to make her cry? I don’t even know why she felt hurt!” He pressed his brows.         

“…”     

“You…don’t?”     

“If I knew, then I wouldn’t be in this situation right now, correct?” His gaze darkened.     

Yun Su’s mouth twitched. “S-Sir, it’s so clear. I could practically read her like an open book. She wanted you to praise her.”     

“Huh?” Xinyue looked confused.     

“She knew that you were working on a mission so when she got a chance, she thought she could help you by getting you information using her way. You are a spy. Spies value information the most, and she thought you would be thrilled to get new evidence and that you will also praise her for her efforts. She just wanted to make you happy and acknowledge her efforts. But instead when you said she didn’t need to interfere and rebuked her for her work, she must have felt embarrassed for doing something unnecessary.”     

“…..”     

Xinyue replayed the whole conversation in his mind and seemed to understand what Yun Su was trying to explain. “…Was that what it was?”     

Yun Su cleared his throat. “Sir, nobody here can beat you in reading body language and expressions. But somehow…you are not an expert when it comes to Miss. Zhao I guess…”     

“Have you gotten a little gutsy, Yun Su?” He sneered.     

He jumped back to his hiding place.     

“But I didn’t ask her to! She didn’t have to trouble herself-”     

Yun Su’s head peeked out. “It’s not about whether you asked her or not. When you love someone, you want to do things for him or her that makes them happy even if they don’t ask for it. You instinctively wish to make their life easier however you can. It’s really natural to feel that way. When I returned from my training once, I saw that my girlfriend had already cleaned up and organized my house and cooked a meal for me. I didn’t ask her to do all of that, but she still did it because I was tired and she wanted to reduce my work in any way she could.”     

The realization dawned upon him, and he collapsed on the chair. “I am an idiot. I didn’t mean to dismiss her efforts.”     

“I know,” he nodded, “You were worried because we got some ugly information about Tian Guo. There is no evidence, but there is suspicion that he is involved in a woman’s murder. Reports suggest that he wanted to marry her, but she refused. So, he killed her in a fit of anger. You should have told Miss. Zhao that you were only worried because Tian Guo is a dangerous man and even if she is done using him…he may not leave her way so easily.”
