Chapter 367: Gu Yan Goes to Heaven, Su Yuning Hides Under the Bed

[Ding! Gu Yan has died, protagonist halo reset to zero! Host gains +800 luck points, +80 ability points!]

[Current host luck points: 1700, ability points: 270!]

[Skill “Seize” activated, obtaining Gu Yan’s golden finger “Superb Medical Skills,” converted to “Ancient Medicine lv2”!]

[Host’s existing skill “Ancient Medicine lv2” upgraded to “Ancient Medicine lv4”!]

“Phew… he’s finally dead!”

Wang Haoran let out a sigh of relief.

Just now.

After the first car exploded, Gu Yan, who was so close, was only knocked down and rolled a few times by the shockwave but wasn’t killed.

To make matters worse, even though they were outside the city, within five minutes of the accident, a police car was already speeding towards them, sirens blaring.

They were clearly coming to rescue him!

Wang Haoran had no choice but to quickly blow up the remaining two cars with a couple of “bangs” before the police arrived.

Three explosions later.

Gu Yan still tried to stand up!

In a fit of rage, Wang Haoran decided to finish him off himself—

After all, the two drivers who were hired to kill Gu Yan were sent by Zhao Ruilong. If anything went wrong, he could just pin the blame on them!

Fortunately, Gu Yan’s strength was only that of an ordinary person, and his protagonist halo was down to 800.

After three explosions and a final blow from Wang Haoran, it was finally over.

So, after confirming his death.

Wang Haoran sped back to city S.

***

The next day.

The news of Gu Yan’s death was naturally reported to the Su family by the police.

The current investigation concluded that it was a “car accident, an unfortunate accidental death.”

In Wang Haoran’s room at Liu Yunshuang’s house.

Su Yuning, who had just received the news, was shocked.

After putting down her phone, she continued her previous activity while muttering in confusion:

“Gu Yan… how did he suddenly… go to such a remote… place, and then… have a car accident…”

Anyone with a bit of sense could tell something was off.

“…Sigh!”

Seeing that he couldn’t hide it any longer, Wang Haoran sighed and gently stroked Su Yuning’s hair, revealing the “truth”—

“Actually… it was Zhao Ruilong who had someone do it.”

“Before, when Gu Yan was in the city, there were too many people around, and with my involvement, Zhao Ruilong didn’t dare to act openly.”

“But for some reason, Gu Yan suddenly left the city, and Zhao Ruilong seized the opportunity!”

“Yuning, I’m sorry. I promised to protect Gu Yan.”

Wang Haoran caressed Su Yuning’s face, his tone full of “regret”:

“Since I broke my promise, sigh, I don’t have the face to keep you here anymore…”

“You’re free… you can leave now…”

Wang Haoran’s tone was filled with reluctance.

He thought that without the leverage of being threatened, Su Yuning would give up her leverage and leave as soon as she regained her freedom.

But—

Su Yuning’s hands didn’t let go.

Wang Haoran was puzzled, “…Yuning?”

“……”

“Haoran…”

After a long silence, Su Yuning quietly responded.

“It’s okay… it’s okay that you broke your promise…”

“Because…”

“Yuning has already been enslaved by you… and can’t leave you anymore…”

She murmured.

With a determined look in her eyes, Su Yuning kissed Wang Haoran on the eyes.

This action.

Signified that this wife, who had sacrificed herself for her husband, had completely fallen for the master in front of her—

However.

Before moving on to the next step, she spoke in a different, lower tone—

“No matter what happens, you mustn’t abandon Yuning, okay…”

“Yes, yes!”

Wang Haoran responded casually.

Then he finally burst into laughter—

“Haha, Yuning, you’re such a good actress!”

“Isn’t it because you asked me to do this, saying something about role-playing!”

“And Gu Yan isn’t even here!”

Su Yuning also lifted her head, smiling playfully.

Gu Yan meant nothing to her anymore.

She just hoped that these matters wouldn’t implicate Wang Haoran!

In the midst of their playful banter, the mood became more intimate.

Then.

Just as Su Yuning was about to lower her head again, the door to the room suddenly opened.

“Hmph, you two are at it again!”

“Can’t you be a little more discreet!”

After closing the door, Liu Yunshuang gave Su Yuning a disdainful look, then walked over to the bed and sat down next to Wang Haoran.

She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and started kissing him.

For a long time, no one spoke.

The room was filled only with the sounds of their efforts and soft sighs.

However, this silence was bound to be broken—

“Knock—knock—”

A knock on the door, accompanied by a cheerful voice: “Brother-in-law, are you in there?”

But clearly, the knock was just for show.

Before Wang Haoran could respond, Liu Xinyao was already turning the doorknob, trying to come in.

Still in a daze, Liu Yunshuang hadn’t reacted yet, but Su Yuning’s heart tightened—

“It’s Xinyao!”

“No, I have to hide, I can’t let her find out!”

In a panic, she quickly lay down and rolled under the bed.

And just at that moment, Liu Xinyao walked in.

“Sis, you’re here too!”

Seeing Liu Yunshuang sitting next to Wang Haoran, Liu Xinyao happily skipped over and sat down on the other side of him.

Under the bed.

Through the gap, Su Yuning could see Liu Xinyao’s small feet dangling and swaying.

Su Yuning was extremely nervous, her heart pounding “thump—thump—” in her chest.

“Thank goodness I wasn’t discovered…”

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden thought struck her, and her heart skipped a beat—

“…Huh?!”

“Just now, before I hid, Haoran didn’t seem to have put his clothes back on… Won’t Xinyao see it?”

“And Yunshuang is here too…”

This… if Xinyao saw something, shouldn’t she pretend to cover her eyes, panic, and then quickly leave?

If she sees the future, why not escape, but instead come closer? Isn’t she afraid Yunshuang will notice what’s going on between them?

Su Yuning couldn’t understand Liu Xinyao’s behavior, and moreover—

“…Huh?”

“Why is it so quiet up there now?!”
