“My name is Crystal.” Crystal uttered.
Even though Xiao Tian was shocked, he didn’t show it on his face. He didn’t ask why she used a fake name before because he knew the reason.
??
Crystal was an assassin, so it would be dangerous to use her real name. He himself even had many fake identities so he could understand it.
But what made him the happiest was Crystal decided to tell him her real name. That meant she was serious when she said she wanted to be friends with him.
“Xiao Tian is my real name.” Xiao Tian spoke as he smiled.
“I know.” Crystal giggled.
“All right. Wait here. I will bring the porridge first.” Xiao Tian uttered,
“Un.” Crystal nodded her head.
Several minutes later, Xiao Tian returned with a hot porridge in his hands. “Here, eat first so that you can recover faster.”
“Thank you.” after saying that, Crystal took the porridge. “By the way, what happened to Gu Ming?”
“Gu Ming? Who is he?” at this moment, Xiao Tian still had no idea that the person he just killed was none other than Gu Ming.
“The person who fought me earlier.” Crystal was startled after hearing his words because she thought Xiao Tian knew who Gu Ming was.
‘Wait! So, he fought someone without knowing about his opponent’s name.’
Because Xiao Tian had saved her from Gu Ming, she was sure that Xiao Tian fought Gu Ming earlier.
It was impossible to save her without fighting Gu Ming because Gu Ming was determined to kill her earlier.
There were two reasons why they were in Xiao Tian’s apartment. First, Xiao Tian beat Gu Ming, and the second, Xiao Tian managed to escape from Gu Ming.
“Ah, that person.” Xiao Tian finally knew the person Crystal was referring to. “I killed him.”
Since there was no point in lying to her, Xiao Tian decided to tell the truth. Gu Ming was her target, so it was better if she knew the truth.
“What?! You killed him?!” Crystal said in surprise.
“Yes.” Xiao Tian answered as he nodded his head. “If you don’t believe it, you can see his corpse later.”
“How did you kill him?” Crystal wanted to know how Xiao Tian killed Gu Ming.
Xiao Tian was as strong as her, and she could not beat Gu Ming earlier, so it should be impossible for Xiao Tian to kill Gu Ming because the gap between her and Gu Ming was quite big.
“I pierced his heart using my sword.” Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.
“Your sword?” Crystal suddenly remembered that Xiao Tian was a swordsman.
‘Was the reason why we were equal in the past because he never used a sword?’
Crystal had fought Xiao Tian twice, and they always ended in a draw. However, Xiao Tian had never used a sword when they fought. He always used his bare hands.
‘So he is stronger than me, huh?’
Because Xiao Tian managed to kill Gu Ming, Crystal suddenly thought that Xiao Tian was stronger than her.
“Forget about him.” Xiao Tian uttered, “Eat the porridge first. You can think about your target again later.”
“…alright.” Since Gu Ming was dead, Crystal didn’t think about him anymore because it meant her job was done.
After consuming the porridge, Xiao Tian and Crystal talked for several minutes.
Because Xiao Tian had something to do, he rose to his feet. “Crystal, I have to go now. You can stay here until you get better. I will bring you some food for dinner later.”
“Alright.” Crystal nodded her head.
Xiao Tian then left.
——
Eternal Beauty Company, Xiao Tian’s Office.
“Sir, these are the documents that requires your signature.” Liang Jun placed a mountain of paper on Xiao Tian’s desk.
The corner of Xiao Tian’s lips twitched after seeing the documents. “You can leave now.”
After Ling Jun walked out of his office, Xiao Tian began to work. Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes became hours.
Without realizing it, it had been four hours since Xiao Tian started to work.
‘It’s already 05:30 pm.’
Xiao Tian then rose to his feet and went home.
——
“I’m home.” Xiao Tian spoke when he was in the guest room.
“Little brother, we are in the family room.” Shi Fei’s voice rang out from the living room.
At first, Xiao Tian wanted to head to his room, but he changed his mind after learning that all his women were in the family room.
“It seems like all of you are having fun.” Xiao Tian said as he smiled.
When he was next to Liu Ning, Xiao Tian instantly kissed her cheeks. Not only Liu Ning, but he also kissed all the cheeks of his girlfriends before finally sitting next to his aunt.
Xiao Tian talked to them for about ten minutes before finally heading to the bathroom to take a shower.
After having dinner with his women, Xiao Tian traveled to his apartment to meet Crystal. Of course, he bought some food before going to his apartment.
He bought healthy food and drink for Crystal so that she could recover faster.
“Crystal, I have come!” Xiao Tian spoke as he entered his apartment.
Crystal, who was watching a movie in the living room, turned her head towards him. “Oh! You have come?”
Xiao Tian showed the food and drink he just bought. “I bought healthy food and drink for you. What are you watching?”
“It’s a martial arts movie called The Ruler.” Crystal gave an honest answer.
“The Ruler? What a powerful title!” Xiao Tian stated, “You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? You should eat now so that you will recover faster.”
“All right.” Flower then headed to the kitchen to bring two plates and glasses.
“Why did you bring two plates and glasses?” Xiao Tian inquired, “I have eaten with my women earlier, so I can’t eat again.”
“Oh!” Crystal then put it on the table and started eating her food. Since she wanted to watch a movie, she ate in the living room. “By the way, is it fine for you to accompany me like this? I’m even staying in your apartment. Are your girlfriends not mad at you?”
“What are you talking about? They won’t be mad at me. They even know you are in my apartment.” Before Xiao Tian traveled to his apartment, he told his women everything, so they knew that Crystal was in his apartment.
“You are lucky to have girlfriends like them.” Usually, most women would not allow their boyfriends to be alone with other women. That was why Crystal was a little surprised after hearing his words.
“Yes. They understand me well.” Xiao Tian also felt lucky to have girlfriends who always understood him.
Xiao Tian and Crystal then began to talk as they watched a movie. That night, Xiao Tian learned that Crystal liked martial arts movies.
She loved martial arts movies since she was little, especially martial arts movies that have romance in them.
Xiao Tian accompanied Crystal until 09:30 pm before finally, he went home.

“So you’re not going to work tomorrow?” Ye Qingyu inquired.
Currently, Xiao Tian and Ye Qingyu were lying on the bed in her room. After arriving home, Xiao Tian immediately headed to her room because he wanted to sleep with her.
“Yes.” Xiao Tian answered. “I want to practice martial arts tomorrow.”
“Then, I won’t go to work too. I want to see you practice martial arts.” Ye Qingyu stated.
“What?” Xiao Tian said in surprise.
