Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'

"Haha, don't worry, it's fine. We get along pretty well, and she's quite interesting."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

Seeing that Su Mo wasn't angry, Qian Chengxue said to him, "You've probably been very busy these days. I'll get you a set of clothes. You can take a shower first."

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded.

Then Qian Chengxue took a brand-new set of clothes out of the closet. Su Mo glanced inside and saw there were many sets, probably bought for him by Qian Chengxue.

"Try it on and see if it fits. If it doesn't, there are several more sets here."

Qian Chengxue handed the clothes to Su Mo.

"They'll definitely fit."

Su Mo took a look as he received them. He found that the set Qian Chengxue had picked had a high collar, which could nicely cover the marks on his neck, very thoughtful of her.

"Go take a shower. We'll have lunch together later."

Qian Chengxue gently instructed.

"Okay!"

Su Mo emptied his pockets, placing his phone and other things on the desk, and headed towards the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of running water was heard from the bathroom.

Qian Chengxue went to her desk and started sorting out the unfinished documents.

Buzz buzz~

At this moment, Su Mo's phone on the desk started vibrating.

Instinctively, Qian Chengxue glanced at it and saw Su Mo's phone screen light up.

A text message popped up.

The name on the message was Lin Zinuo.

"Su Mo, how have you been lately? It's been a while since I've heard from you. I have good news. My father's health is almost fully recovered. But recently, he's involved in a special Federation plan, so he has to stay in Zone M. His health just got better, and I'm worried, so I need to stay and assist him. I can't come back to see you, which is a pity. Also, I overheard from my father's conversations that the situation has been quite turbulent lately. Is everything okay on your end? Stay safe..."

Qian Chengxue was slightly taken aback but then looked away and continued organizing her papers.

....

A while later, Su Mo finished a comfortable hot shower, changed into the high-collared clothes, and walked out of the bathroom with his hair slightly damp, looking especially charming.

He went to the desk, picked up his phone, and glanced at it, noticing Lin Zinuo's message.

For some reason, he felt a bit guilty and glanced at Qian Chengxue before quickly viewing the message.

Then he put the phone back in his pocket, not even sure himself why he felt guilty.

"Did the shower make you feel more comfortable?"

Qian Chengxue came over and asked.

"Yes, a hot shower really refreshes me."

Su Mo answered a bit sheepishly, internally berating himself for feeling guilty when he hadn't done anything wrong.

"Let's go, let's eat."

Qian Chengxue said to Su Mo.

"Okay."

Su Mo took a deep breath, feeling a little nervous.

Seeing Su Mo's anxiousness, Qian Chengxue smiled and said, "There's no need to be so tense. My father is very busy coordinating resources and isn't home. My mother usually doesn't come out unless necessary, and Lin Ming, they're not here either, just a few sisters at home."

"Oh, then there's nothing to be nervous about."

Su Mo forced a smile and said with relief.

Qian Chengxue chuckled softly and led Su Mo toward the dining room.

Soon, they arrived at the dining room, where a lavish lunch was laid out on the long dining table.

However, only Lin Xiaoyu was sitting there; the other seats were empty.

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue sat across from Lin Xiaoyu.

The butler who had been waiting nearby came up and removed the lids from the dishes, then stepped back.

The three of them picked up their chopsticks and began eating.

Qian Chengxue served Su Mo a lot of food and reminded him.

"Eat more."

"Alright."

Su Mo responded happily.

On the opposite side, Lin Xiaoyu eagerly asked Su Mo, "Su Mo, which Imperial army did you attack this time? I couldn't find any info about you!"

"Ahem, I was just wandering around and joined in casually, not the main force."

Su Mo tried to change the subject, feeling a headache coming on.

"I don't believe that. I saw the Negative Energy Blood Mark on you. Could anyone but a top expert push you that far? Tell me about it."

Lin Xiaoyu's eyes were full of anticipation. She had seen Su Mo's capabilities firsthand—piloting a Fake V Generation Mecha to clash with a Pure Mechanical Mecha. Though he eventually retreated, it was still impressive.

Su Mo, hearing this, rubbed his forehead. She wouldn't give up until she got something out of him, so he whispered to Lin Xiaoyu.

"I'll tell you a bit, but you can't say anything, and don't ask more. Even if you do, I won't tell."

"Okay."

Lin Xiaoyu agreed readily.

"I fought against the allied forces of the three strongest Empires and incidentally took care of Ashton's affairs from the Galmotos Empire."

Su Mo spoke in a low voice.

"Wow, that's so cool!"

Lin Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled, and her gaze toward Su Mo grew increasingly fervent.

Even Qian Chengxue, upon hearing this, was very shocked. Ashton from the Galmotos Empire was a renowned top expert, and she hadn't expected him to fall at Su Mo's hands.

And they had heard nothing about any of this.

Of course, they didn't doubt Su Mo's words.

"Alright, enough of this, let's enjoy the meal."

Seeing Lin Xiaoyu's fascinated look, Su Mo was a bit exasperated; he knew this would be the outcome if he talked about it.

The three of them continued eating, and the dining room fell silent for a moment.

While they were eating, Qian Chengxue suddenly looked up and said, "Su Mo, can I ask you something?"
