Susu put down the rag in her hand, wiped her hands, and reached up to gently touch the other half of his disfigured face. She asked softly, "Does it still hurt? It must have been very painful and difficult to endure when you were first injured. I checked online, and burn treatments are the most agonizing."
Qin Tianyi held her hand, kissed it, and said, "It's alright, it doesn't hurt much."
"You're lying," Susu said, annoyed. "You used to say I was a liar, that I could act, but you're even better at deceiving people than I am."
Qin Tianyi took her hand, intertwined his fingers with hers, and led her to the bedroom.
Susu was surprised to see that the bedroom was spotlessly clean, with everything neatly arranged, exuding a sense of domesticity.
Qin Tianyi smiled and said, "I've been living here these past few days. I was just afraid of being discovered, so I didn't clean or tidy the outside. I only tidied up the place where I sleep."
Susu suddenly felt foolish. How could she not have thought that he would hide here, and that she had hired people to investigate and planned to fly abroad to find him.
"So you were hiding here..."
Before she could finish, Qin Tianyi swept her into his arms and kissed her hair, saying, "You've realized you're quite foolish."
Susu wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at him, saying, "I am indeed foolish, not as smart as you. But please, don't go to Southeast Asia anymore. I'll stay with you and help you heal the scars on your face. Come back to me and the children, back to Aoxiang Group. I beg you, please be yourself again."
"But as long as Jia Nanfang is not caught, you are in danger. She hates you the most and wants you dead. I..."
Qin Tianyi only got halfway through his sentence when Susu reached out and covered his mouth, stopping him. "Even if she tries to harm me again, I won't be so foolish. I'll protect myself. Don't take any more risks. Don't you want to be with the children? We have twins, your favorite little darling. She's truly adorable, just a bit of a crybaby. If her father were around, she'd be smiling every day."
After speaking, Susu closed her eyes and took the initiative to kiss his lips, saying, "If Jia Nanfang still tries to cause trouble, we'll face it together. As long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of anything..."
Qin Tianyi leaned down and sealed her lips. Their breaths instantly intertwined. As they kissed passionately, Susu couldn't help but shed tears again.
She rested her head on his shoulder and whispered, "Promise me, don't leave me again."
The moment Qin Tianyi found her at the airport, he had lost the courage to leave her again. Just then, Qin Tianyi's phone rang in the living room.
Susu let go of him, wiped her tears, took a breath, and said, "Your phone is ringing, go and see."
Qin Tianyi, afraid he might also shed tears, said "Okay" and quickly turned to the living room. Upon seeing the caller ID, he realized it was Su Kangxi.
Susu also came out of the bedroom and went to the bathroom, thinking she should clean the other rooms besides the bedroom.
As soon as Qin Tianyi answered, he heard Su Kangxi's anxious voice, "Did you find Sister Susu? Did she get on the plane?"
"I found her. She didn't get on the plane and is with me now."
"That's good," Su Kangxi sighed with relief and then chided him, "Since you found her, why didn't you contact me? You made me worry sick."
Qin Tianyi apologized, "I forgot for a moment."
"By the way, didn't you say earlier that you knew where Kunsang was hiding? Is the source of information reliable?" Su Kangxi, knowing that he and Susu were safe, asked about this matter.
Qin Tianyi said confidently, "Absolutely reliable. That person is very familiar with the situation of Lu Yuanhong and others in Southeast Asia. I've thought about it. I'll send you the specific location where Kunsang is hiding later. Jia Nanfang is likely hiding in the same place. You must notify the local police to act quickly. Don't let them escape again."
In fact, the person who provided him with this information was Anan. The last time he saved Anan and helped him escape, Anan had found a way to sneak back to Southeast Asia on his own.
Anan had originally planned to live anonymously and start a new life as an ordinary person.
However, upon learning that Lu Yuanhong had been arrested, he couldn't help but secretly contact brothers he knew from the group to find out what was happening here.
If Kunsang in Southeast Asia was also arrested, the entire group would cease to exist, and he wouldn't have to hide.
He didn't want to live a life in the shadows forever. The information he gathered indicated that Kunsang had gotten wind of the situation and fled, and several important locations in Southeast Asia had also been thoroughly raided by the police.
It seemed that the once tightly organized and extremely brutal drug trafficking group was likely completely annihilated, and he no longer had to worry or be afraid.
It was at this time that Aban contacted him, wanting to find Kunsang's whereabouts through him. He agreed without hesitation.
After all, Kunsang was Lu Yuanhong's capable assistant. Only by arresting him too would that terrifying criminal organization not resurface.
Besides, he owed Aban his life. Regardless of whether Aban was a police informant or not, if Aban asked for his help, he would do so without question.
"Alright, you can rest assured leaving it to us police. You take good care of Sister Susu and enjoy your sweet life," Su Kangxi said, smiling into the phone.
Susu, who was cleaning nearby, heard the conversation between Qin Tianyi and Su Kangxi, and her anxious heart finally settled.
After they finished their call, she noticed Qin Tianyi had sent his message. She then nuzzled up to him and asked, "What do you want to eat today? I'll go buy fresh ingredients and cook for you."
Qin Tianyi held her tightly, preventing her from continuing to wipe and clean, and said, "I've made up my mind. I'll leave the rest to the police and won't personally handle these matters anymore. I want to spend time with you."
Susu hummed and tried to break free from him, saying, "Stop fooling around and let me clean this entire house. You'll be more comfortable living here."
"There's no rush for that," Qin Tianyi said, then scooped her up and carried her to the bedroom. "Keep me company and talk to me."
Susu didn't quite understand for a moment and asked foolishly, "What do you want to talk about?"
Qin Tianyi said in a husky voice, "Let you know how much I love you and how much I've missed you..."
Before Susu could even utter a sound of surprise, Tianyi was already over her, possessively claiming her entirely.
She was already powerless to resist, and as she swayed with him, their breaths mingled. The long-lost intimacy captivated them both, making them unable to extricate themselves.
When the passion subsided and Susu lay in his arms, still catching her breath, she noticed that he had fallen asleep, completely exhausted.
Susu gently touched his skin. On his originally perfect muscle lines, she could see several small scars. These were likely the places where he had been injured in the explosion. Although they had healed, they still left faint and deep scars.
Her heart ached immensely. She felt he had sacrificed too much for her and vowed to love him with the rest of her life, ensuring he never did anything so foolish again.
