My Wife Is Secretly Dark - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Didn’t Know That This Girl Staying Temporarily was a Gangster

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The weather in Yu City in late summer was exceptionally good.

There is a wealthy area south of Yu City, where successful people live.

Looking from a distance, this wealthy area is a place surrounded by green mountains and blue sea.

The residents here either reach home with a helicopter or drive up the mountain for half an hour.

On the winding asphalt road, many vehicles are driving up the mountain.

At dusk, the sun turned orange and the sky was full of red clouds. It was time to get off work and go home.

Among these vehicles was a solid black one.

After going up the mountain, this pure black vehicle went to the largest manor in this rich area.

The rich were also further categorised. This manor was obviously the largest in this rich area.

The gate of the manor opened, and the driver continued to drive the car forward.

He did not drive to the garage, but drove the car to a stop in front of the main building.

The manor covered a large area and the main villa had five floors.

The driver got out of the car, went around to the back seat and knocked on the door lightly before opening the door and said, “Master Qi.”

He held the car door back aside to show his respect.

Then, a person got out of the car.

He bent down slightly. Without a closer look at his face, we could only tell that he was tall. 

He got out of the car and raised his head slightly, finally showing his face.

He had decently trimmed short hair and looked extraordinarily handsome.

His face had no expression, and the tight jaw line gave him a little fierce look. When he gently glanced at others, his eyes were filled with deep light, and his whole body exuded a biting aura, which was daunting.

The weather was probably humid. He took off his custom-made black suit jacket and was left with a white shirt with the first button unbuttoned. He did not wear a tie and had half rolled sleeves.

He hung his suit jacket over his arm.

His height advantage was revealed when he stood up straight.

He was about 1.9 meters tall and walked towards the main building.

The driver closed the door of the rear seat, but did not drive the car away immediately. Instead, he stood by the car respectfully and watched the man enter the main building before he got in the car and started the engine.

The man entered the house. As usual, he hung his clothes on the bracket at the entrance.

He was about to walk towards the living room, but stopped and looked up to the living room.

The entrance gave a broad view of the living room.

He saw a man sitting on the sofa in the living room.

With his back facing him and the back of the sofa covering most of the his body, he only saw a small head.

There are many servants in the manor, but in the main building, usually no one was allowed to come in except for those doing the necessary cleaning and cooking. 

Seemed like someone ignored his rules and loitered in the living room.

He raised his eyebrows, walked over with his long legs and excluded a cold breath.

As he stepped forward, he had a better view of the person sitting on the sofa.

It was a girl.

A thin and small girl.

Her hair was very long.

And her hair scattered along waist.

He first saw half of her face covered by the scattered long hair.

Her face was also very small.

She was asleep, leaning on the sofa.

Although she was thin, her small face had a little baby fat..

From the men’s point of view, the girl was not beautiful, and he did not give her a second glance.

Her leaned back posture on the sofa with her eyes closed evoked a sense of tranquility. This reduced the man’s unpleasant emotions a little without his realisation.

He stood there for a few seconds and was about to wake her up.

At this moment, the girl opened her eyes.

And the two of them looked into each other’s eyes directly.

Although her body was average, her eyes were very nice.

As she just woke up, the mist in her eyes made her a little dull and cute. 

A few seconds later, she seemed to finally react and grinned at him with a sweet smile, “Brother Qi.”

Brother Qi?

Qi Jing frowned deeply.

Without waiting for him to speak, the girl stood up from the sofa with a brisk tone: “You finish work.”

The girl is a white lady’s dress which reaches to her ankle.

She was not short, about 1.7 meters.

Standing up like this, she seemed even thinner.

Qi Jing stared at her for a few seconds coldly.

The girl didn’t seem to realise it and continued to smile: “Brother Qi probably won’t know me. My name is Xia Yunshu. I just came back from abroad and plan to go to school in Yu City, but my family is abroad, so I may need to live with Brother Qi temporarily for some time.

“My father is a good friend of Uncle Qi. Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi have gone on a trip and are not in Yu City. They assign someone to send me from the airport to Brother Qi.”

Her surname is Xia?

Among his father’s friends with a surname Xia and lived abroad, Qi Jing quickly knew who she was.

No wonder he felt that Xia Yunshu’s name was familiar. In Country Y, the Chinese Xia family was large. Xia Yuan was the family head. The daughter of Xia Yuan’s ex-wife was called Xia Yunshu.

He remembered her name as he overheard his parents’ conversation. They said that she committed suicide by jumping off the third floor at the age of thirteen and was in the hospital as a vegetative for several years.

Wasn’t she in a vegetative state?

Was this awake?

It was rare that someone in a vegetative state for several years could wake up.　

Usually, he didn’t care who the person was and who arranged it, and was too lazy to say anything before kicking someone out. But seeing the girl’s weak and unrelenting appearance, he frowned slightly and did not say anything to chase her out.

He glanced at the pink suitcase beside her and took out his mobile phone to dial.

Xia Yunshu stood aside and watched with a smile, without interrupting.

She was very clever and sensible.

The call was connected soon.

The other party probably his call and spoke before him.

A few minutes later, the line disconnected.

Qi Jing didn’t utter a word at all. His thin lips pressed tightly and his brows wrinkled lightly.

He put his phone away and looked at the girl who was standing and laughing stupidly. This made him a little irritated instantly..

He stared at her for a few seconds.

As there were servants around, why should he bother? He simply ignored her existence.

He said without any expression, “I will let someone prepare the room for you. Don’t bother me when everything goes well…”

 “And definitely not when something happens.”

 “If you need anything, find Aunt Song, she is the housekeeper here.”

 The girl happily responded: “Okay, thank you brother Qi.”

 “You wait here first, Aunt Song will come over soon.”

From the phone, he knew that she was only eighteen years old. She fell into a vegetative state and lay in the hospital for five years. She only regained consciousness a week ago. Her family couldn’t wait to send her home after she woke up.

She was in a vegetative state when she was thirteen. He estimated that she only had a thirteen-year-old mind. Why should he fuss with a child?

Qi Jing did not cast her second glance and went upstairs.

Xia Yunshu responded obediently, “Okay.”

Qi Jing’s bedroom and study room are on the third floor.

After he went upstairs, Xia Yunshu chuckled and continued to sit down.

That’s when the silly white smile on her face disappeared.

The moment she stopped smiling, her baby’s fat face revealed her sorrowness.

She had very good hearing skills, even though Qi Jing’s cell phone audio wasn’t loud, she could faintly hear what the receiver on the phone said.

The call was made to Uncle Qi.

Those who had no blood relationship with her still pitied her. The moment she woke up, her biological father hurriedly sent her back to China.

If she didn’t need to return to China to attend to some matters, sending her back to China…

That would not be possible, only in their dream.

Five years ago, she sustained injuries from height and was warded in a vegetative state for five years.

No one knew that she had been conscious for five years, and woke up occasionally.

Although the story was that she committed suicide by falling from a building, but it was her stepmother who deliberately misled others while she was in a coma.

The stepmother was anxious to instigate her father to send her back, as she was just afraid that the truth would be exposed.

She will definitely find her stepmother for this, but now she had more important things to do.

She still felt a little embarrassed as she recalled the past few years.

The story began before she fell.

Five years ago, she was still a spoiled little princess. She hadn’t suffered from any hardship. Expectedly, she would not hide what she liked or disliked.

When her parents divorced, she was angry and refused to talk to her father, thinking that her father would come to coax her as before, but her father never did.

He was busy every day, and he won’t see her more than once in a month.

She began to make excuses for her father, saying that he was just too busy and didn’t want her anymore.

Until two months after her parents divorced, she heard from the servants about her father’s remarriage.

Her father remarried, and she couldn’t contact her mother.

At that moment, she clearly realised that her parents didn’t want her anymore.

Maybe they were afraid that she might cause a fuss, she was locked at home and wasn’t allowed to attend the wedding.

She first saw her stepmother at the balcony on the third floor of her villa.

The entire third floor belonged to her. Her stepmother’s appearance on the third floor meant that she intentionally came to express her care towards her.

She angrily told her stepmother to get lost. This irritated her stepmother who wanted to beat her.

Yunshu grew up as a spoiled brat. She would never allow others to beat or scold her. So, she picked up the flowerpot next to her and threw it at her.

The stepmother was injured and felt embarrassed.

Back then, she was only a 13 and wasn’t a match to an adult.

As they disputed, her stepmother pushed her down from the balcony on the third floor. 

She was pronounced dead after the fall, just that her soul did not return.

Her soul floated to a very mysterious place, where she lived for nearly ten years and learned a skill.

The next time she came back again was on the third day after the fall.

She was already a vegetable in the hospital bed.

She couldn’t wake up, but she was conscious.

One month later, she woke up for the first time.

In the next five years, she woke up intermittently many times, but she didn’t let others notice.

She used these pockets of time while she was awoken to create Yutian.

Five years later, Yutian became a very influential and mysterious organisation.

Xia Yunshu’s thoughts slowly gathered as she thought of this.

She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to a chat group called ‘Seven Tyrants of Yutian’.

Seven Tyrants of Yutian…

Whenever she saw this group name, she couldn’t bear to look directly into it.

The group was named by the youngest member of Yutian. All members of Yutian, including its leader Xia Yunshu, were very willing to follow suit the youngest, so they took in her suggestion.

Xia Yunshu posted in the group: Any updates on the person I ask you to check? @ Handsome L

“Handsome L” quickly replied: It is confirmed that the person is in Yu City, boss. Will you personally come to Yu City? 

“Come” suggested that Handsome L was also in Yu City.

S: I am in Yu City

Youngest Y: Are you in Yu City? ! Sister Shu, why don’t you come to Yu City to find me? Where are you? I’ll go find you! 

Handsome L: Youngest Y, this has nothing to do with you, go do your homework! Boss, where are you? I’m going to find you now. 

S: I will find you when I’m free.

S: If you are really too free, go pick up some tasks and make more money.

Handsome L: Don’t be the boss, making money is not as important as you.

Young Y: Sister Shu, go settle your matters. But I’ll still meet you. I promise that I will not disturb you, please tell me your location quickly.

…

Xia Yunshu glanced at the group news again and clicked to exit.

She ignored this series of cheeky messages.

It was very decisive, very ruthless..
