NOVPUBChu Qi then changed into a white long dress and walked out of the secondary bedroom.
Although the white dress concealed her graceful figure, it added an air of pure charm to her appearance.
Especially her delicate youthful face, which made her look like a young girl in her late teens.
Right at that moment,
Chen Nan, holding a stack of cash, came out, "I don’t have much cash on me, less than two thousand yuan, you take this money to buy groceries."
Chu Qi had just come from the provincial city to Jizhou and certainly didn’t have much money.
Hypothetically speaking,
Even if she did have money, Chen Nan was a man who kept his personal and professional life separate.
He would definitely not take advantage of her and make her pay for the groceries.
"Okay, boss!"
Chu Qi hadn’t expected Chen Nan to give her money, which surprised her and made her feel a fondness for him.
However,
she hadn’t forgotten her mission to kill Chen Nan.
At worst,
she would just burn more paper money for him after his death.
Chen Nan didn’t think much of it, turned around, and went back to the bedroom to start his tedious and dull studies.
Meanwhile,
he also made a call to Zhu Keren, asking her to send him a few sets of test papers.
On the other side,
after leaving the splendid future, Chu Qi dialed a number.
Once the call connected, a woman’s indifferent voice came through, "Is the mission completed?"
"I’m sorry, Sect Leader, the mission hasn’t been completed yet," Chu Qi said nervously as if she were a child who had done something wrong.
A resigned sigh came from the other side of the phone, "I can’t completely blame you. Although you have been with me for many years, you haven’t carried out a mission on your own."
"Sect Leader, this mission is too tricky," said Chu Qi nervously, "Chen Nan is very strong; I feel that even our best assassins at the sect would stand no chance against him."
"But rest assured, I have successfully infiltrated Chen Nan’s side and have found a way to kill him."
"I need a poison recipe."
"I understand," the woman said blandly, then immediately hung up the phone.
A moment later,
Chu Qi received a text message with the names of several herbs. If these were ground into powder and added to food, they could make a person bleed from all orifices and die instantaneously.
"With this recipe, let’s see if you can survive!" Chu Qi’s eyes flashed coldly.
But,
her heart was filled with conflict.
Even though her task was to kill Chen Nan,
Chen Nan had, after all, saved her life and even treated her illness.
Moreover, they had even had intimate contact.
Chen Nan was also the first man to touch her private parts.
"Chen Nan, rest assured, when you die, I will definitely not treat you poorly. I promise to burn more paper women for you as a way to repay you for saving my life!"
With that thought, Chu Qi’s feelings of guilt towards Chen Nan vanished.
She first went to an herb store, bought the specified herbs, and carefully stored them away.
Then she went to the market, bought a large bag of groceries, and carried them back to the splendid future.
Before returning home, she also called Xu Lu.
Asking her if she wanted to come home for lunch.
If Xu Lu was coming home for lunch, Chu Qi definitely couldn’t poison the food.
Although she came from the Life-Claiming Sect,
But,
The Life-Claiming Sect also had principles.
Not to harm the innocent.
After finding out Xu Lu wasn’t coming home for lunch, Chu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately busied herself in the kitchen after returning home.
She prepared six dishes.
Chicken, fish, meat, eggs, as well as two vegetarian dishes.
The reason for preparing so many dishes was simply to let Chen Nan have a full meal before setting off.
After all,
it was his last meal in life.
This was also the only thing she could do for Chen Nan now.
------
"Boss, it’s time for lunch!"
One o’clock in the afternoon.
Just as Chen Nan was studying diligently, Chu Qi’s gentle voice came from outside the door.
"Coming!"
Chen Nan put down the textbook in his hands and came to the dining room with a look of anticipation on his face.
"Wow, such a feast?"
Looking at the six dishes on the table, joy shone in Chen Nan’s eyes.
Truth be told, it had been a long time since he had enjoyed such a feast at home.
He couldn’t wait to pick up his chopsticks and lifted a piece from the steamed bass, tasting it instantly.
In that moment,
the oily fish spread in his mouth, delicious beyond words, making him give a thumbs up: "Nice skills, delicious!"
A blush tinged Chu Qi’s cheeks, "This is steamed bass, anyone with hands can make it!"
Chen Nan grinned, then sat down at the table and picked up a piece of spicy chicken to try; its fresh and spicy aroma instantly filled his mouth, making him nod repeatedly: "This is really good!"
Seeing Chen Nan eat the poisoned spicy chicken, Chu Qi’s smile grew even brighter, and she picked up her chopsticks to help Chen Nan with his meal: "If it’s delicious, eat more."
Everyone has their own eating habits.
Although Chen Nan saw that Chu Qi had prepared separate serving chopsticks, he didn’t say anything about it.
He ate heartily and then said, "Come on, you eat too!"
Chu Qi replied, "You go ahead, I’m not hungry yet."
"Huh?" Chen Nan looked suspicious and eyeballed Chu Qi: "Why aren’t you eating? Could it be that there’s poison in the food?"
Chu Qi was taken aback for a moment, her face flushing as she explained: "It was a bit hot when I was cooking, I don’t have much of an appetite right now. You eat, I’ll eat later."
Though she said so,
her heart was in turmoil.
After all, there was indeed poison in the food.
Even though she was a good actress, she still felt somewhat guilty.
Chen Nan laughed heartily, then began to taste the other dishes, especially loving the braised pork.
Unreservedly,
Chu Qi’s cooking reminded him of Nie Xiaoyu’s flavors.
Very similar.
He devoured the food, eating more than half of the six dishes.
After the meal,
he belched contentedly, his face showing complete satisfaction.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten so much!" Chen Nan said, standing up from the dining table.
But just as he stood up,
a sensation of the world spinning rushed over him, causing him to collapse back into the dining chair, his eyes revealing unease.
"What’s happening to me?"
"Why am I feeling dizzy?"
Chen Nan shook his head, trying to rid himself of the dizziness,
but the sensation of the world spinning intensified.
Seeing the drug taking effect on Chen Nan, Chu Qi dropped her façade, her innocent face twisting into a sinister smile, especially the chill in her eyes, cold like a serpent, utterly terrifying.
"Want to know why?" Chu Qi’s voice was icy cold, her face more playful than ever.
Seeing the previously innocent woman turn ominously dark-faced, her eyes brimming with murderous intent, Chen Nan involuntarily gasped, his eyes wide with horror: "You…
"Are you an assassin sent by the Sect Leader to kill me?"
