老攻身患绝症[穿书]

Chapter 145

Xie Yang’s sudden sleepiness this time still scared Qiu Xing. After the talk with Xie Yang, he immediately called He Jun and asked He Jun to send all the work that needed remote processing to him during Xie Yang’s business trip. He also said to disclose the news that he was going to choose the deputies to the senior management of Rongding. 

Xie Yang didn’t raise any objections to Qiu Xing’s arrangements. Once everything was arranged, Qiu Xing looked at Xie Yang again and touched his face. “Have a good rest these days.”

Xie Yang nodded obediently.

Qiu Xing’s tenseness slightly faded and he leaned in to kiss Xie Yang’s forehead before sitting back. After a while, he suddenly asked, “Your body’s acclimatization symptoms…”

Xie Yang immediately replied, “I’ve always had it.” 

“Then why did Xie Xiu say you’ve never shown such symptoms before?”

“What does he know?” Xie Yang lied without even blinking. “After my mother went away, he immediately married my stepmother and she gave birth to my brother. I was like a transparent person at home and he doesn’t know anything about me.”

Qiu Xing’s expression became heavy and he hugged Xie Yang. “It seems I have been too good to Xie Xiu recently.”

“Indeed. Still, you can’t be too bad to him. I need him to keep making money for me.”

Qiu Xing released him with a dark expression. “Are you short of money?”

“There is no shortage.”

“Then you—”

“But who doesn’t want more money?” 

“……”

The tightness of Qiu Xing’s completely faded. He was annoyed. “Is there only money in your eyes?”

Xie Yang raised his eyebrow. “If it wasn’t for me always looking at money, I wouldn’t have done business with you.”

“……” Qiu Xing couldn’t bear it and covered Xie Yang’s mouth.

They returned to the hotel and went to eat something first. After eating and returning to the room, Xie Yang finally had time to check the status of his ability core. No matter how steady his personality, even he couldn't help showing a surprised look.

Qiu Xing was working remotely with He Jun and noticed Xie Yang's expression. He immediately covered the handset of his phone and asked, "What's wrong?"

“…Nothing, I just need to go to the bathroom.,” Xie Yang replied. He patted Qiu Xing in comfort and headed to the bathroom. Once he entered the bathroom, he immediately closed the door, put down the toilet seat and sat down. 

He looked again at his ability core. It wasn’t an illusion. His ability core had really gone up five levels this time. He was now at level nine.

Level nine. Even in the apocalypse, a level nine ability was rare. The higher the level of the ability, the more difficult it was to upgrade. In his last life, he spent so many years absorbing the energy of countless crystal nuclei yet he was only level seven when he died.
