Qin He had merely been patting the young man’s shoulder. Upon seeing Gu Qichen, who then spoke provocatively, she decided to go all in and threw an arm around the young man’s waist.
“What else can be done here?”
Gu Qichen stared at her hand, his voice laced with frost. “Miss Qin, your acting is top-notch. I never knew you were this bold before!”
Qin He pinched the young man’s waist, her smile arrogant and unrestrained!
“There’s plenty you don’t know, after all, your eyesight isn’t that good! You even looked at a gold digger!”
As she spoke, she steered the young man away. Seeing this scumbag made her angry, angry about the two years of prime youth she had lost for nothing!
The young man was already terrified. When Qin He pulled him, he obediently followed. As they passed each other, Qin He’s wrist was grabbed. She looked up to see Gu Qichen holding her, his eyes as cold as ice. “What were you and he doing in the restroom?”
Qin He frowned, trying to break free, but the brute held on tight! She narrowed her eyes, then turned to the young man. “You go back first and wait for big sister.”
The young man hesitated and left. Seeing that he was out of sight, Qin He turned back to Gu Qichen. “I’ll give you one chance. Let go!”
He remained unmoved. Very well. Qin He sneered, stopped struggling, and with the force of Gu Qichen pulling her hand, she spun! Her movements were as swift and spectral as a ghost. She slipped past, reversed her grip on his hand, found her footing, and with a skillful throw – it was clean and decisive.
Gu Qichen fell to the ground, his vision blurring. He was highly skilled, but he had never expected to use it on a woman. After all, when Qin He was with the Gu family, she only knew how to embroider. Now! After throwing him, Qin He clapped her hands and started to leave. She had only taken a step when her ankle was grabbed again. Gu Qichen, enraged, laughed and, suppressing some of his fury, his voice husky, said, “Very good, so you’re quite skilled!”
Qin He raised an eyebrow and deftly lifted her leg, intending to deliver a finishing blow to Gu Qichen’s crotch. It was a ruthless and sharp move! Gu Qichen, now on guard, had already dodged. With a swift movement, he evaded her strike and pushed Qin He against the wall! The man was tall, his gaze condescending, exuding an aura of dominance. Qin He frowned, about to bring her knee up to strike again, but the next moment, her knee was pinned by the man. Their bodies were pressed close, her legs immobilized. This seemingly intimate pose was, in reality, a tense standoff.
Qin He’s eyes were sharp and clear. Gu Qichen, a head taller than her, had a face as handsome as a god. He lowered his gaze, looking down at her, his eyes cold and sharp. “Do you still want to fight?”
The man’s face was extremely close to hers, a faint scent of *chenshui* incense wafting over, carrying a heavy, mature aura. Qin He gritted her teeth, but after several attempts, she realized she was no match for him. She narrowed her eyes, her mind racing. In an instant, her clear, bright eyes welled up with moisture, appearing dewy. “You’re hurting me,” she whispered, her voice like a feather brushing against Gu Qichen’s heart.
His expression remained stern, wanting to see what trick she was up to now, but his hand subconsciously loosened its grip. The next moment, Qin He grabbed the vase from the washbasin and smashed it down hard. She remembered that the man in front of her was the CEO of Gu Corporation, so she aimed for his back instead of his head. With one successful hit, Qin He didn’t even spare a glance back and dashed towards the private room! This scumbag, though a philanderer, was capable of taking down several special forces soldiers! A wise woman knows when to retreat. She had to run!
Qin He fled back to the private room. Although the Jialan Club was in Qingcheng, it was too close to the Gu family’s influence. She had just attacked him, and there might be trouble later. Qin He waved to the male escorts in the room. “You can all leave!” Then she turned to the trembling young man in the corner. “You, come help. Carry her on your back!”
The young man obediently picked up the unconscious Xu Wanwan and followed Qin He out of the club. It was late at night, and they hadn’t driven. Now, they couldn’t even get a taxi. As Qin He was anxiously looking around, a black Hummer pulled up. Lu Mingxi held the steering wheel with one hand, his arm resting on the open window. “Little cat, we’re truly destined to meet~”
Qin He immediately instructed the young man. “Put her in the back seat of the car!”
Lu Mingxi: “……”
The young man obediently and quickly placed Xu Wanwan in the back seat. Qin He briskly got into the passenger seat. Lu Mingxi looked at the person in the passenger seat: “……”
Once Qin He was seated, she turned to the young man and frowned. Gu Qichen might vent his anger on him if he couldn’t find her, the culprit. “You get in too!”
The young man didn’t hesitate and got into the car. Lu Mingxi, sitting in the passenger seat, stared wide-eyed. “Little cat, what are you doing? Kidnapping Miss Xu?”
Qin He didn’t utter a word to Lu Mingxi throughout the process. After finishing what she needed to do, she didn’t even give him a glance. “Drive!” Lu Mingxi’s eyes flickered to a familiar figure chasing out of the club. He grinned. “Alright, you’ll have to give me half the ransom!”
The black Hummer sped away – As the car drove on the road, Qin He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Mingxi slowed down. “Little cat, you owe me a big favor this time.” Qin He closed her eyes in the passenger seat, suppressing the discomfort in her stomach. The car had been moving too fast, and she hadn’t recovered, so she didn’t want to talk. Lu Mingxi grinned. “If you want to repay me, how about treating me to a late-night snack?”
In the back seat, Xu Wanwan woke up and, with a gasp, vomited – Lu Mingxi exploded. “Get her, get her head out the window!”
The young man’s aggrieved voice rang out. “It’s too late –”
Lu Mingxi slammed on the brakes, and the car stopped. He turned to Xu Wanwan in the back seat. “You’re going to kill me! I’m a germaphobe! Get her away!”
In the passenger seat, Qin He, jolted by the sudden stop, couldn’t hold it in any longer. She covered her mouth and gagged loudly. Lu Mingxi stared at her in horror. “Little cat! You, you hold on!” Qin He took a while to recover. The smell in the car was pungent. Lu Mingxi threw a pack of wet wipes and tissues at her. The young man diligently cleaned up in the back seat. The car windows were opened for ventilation, but the appetite for late-night snacks was gone. He resignedly drove them to Xu’s house to drop off Xu Wanwan, and then took Qin He home. As he was leaving, he put on a weak expression. “Little cat, remember you owe me a favor!”
In the night breeze, at the entrance of the Qin family home, Qin He and the young man stared at each other. The young man’s eyes were sincere and sparkling. Qin He rubbed her forehead. “What’s your name?”
The young man: “Sister, my name is Shen Yilin!”
“Why are you a male escort?”
Shen Yilin looked flustered. “Sister, it’s my first time today. A classmate asked me to go, saying – saying it was just drinking, and I could earn a month’s living expenses.”
Qin He frowned. What a naive thought. If this Shen Yilin had fallen into the hands of some female guests with heavier tastes and more adventurous spirits, he probably wouldn’t be so naive anymore. Her voice became a little sterner. “You’re already over twenty, aren’t you? Don’t you know what can happen as a male escort? You believe whatever your classmate says? Which university are you from?”
Shen Yilin panicked, his large eyes glistening. “Qing… Qingda University – Sister, I have no choice. I, I’m short of money. My brother is sick.”
A top university, and all for his family. Qin He’s heart softened a little. She got Shen Yilin’s WeChat and transferred him ten thousand yuan. “Find a place to stay tonight. I’ll contact you tomorrow, and we’ll talk then.”
Shen Yilin: The beautiful sister doesn’t want to keep him, does she? He’s a man of principle! But sister is kind, and her personality is so cool… And, he seems to have fallen in love at first sight! Shen Yilin cradled his phone, his young heart struggling, and left, looking back step by step –
