The scene that day was quite chaotic.
One was the little princess of the Shen family, and the other was the darling of the Han family.
With the two of them fighting, apart from Guan Mingxu, no one else dared to intervene.
Although they often followed Han Yunuo around, at a crucial moment, they still didn't dare to offend the Shen family.
Let alone the others, just the mere thought of the name "Shen Chiyan" made their legs go weak.
When women fight, there's hardly any technique involved.
Although both Shen Keqin and Han Yunuo had been sent by their parents to learn boxing after their kidnapping, when they truly fought, it was mostly hair-pulling and shirt-tearing.
They would grab anything at hand and throw it at each other.
In the end, it was He Gaomin who stepped in and, with his silver tongue, managed to get them to stop.
This club belonged to He Gaomin. Upon hearing that two young ladies were fighting, he rushed over to see. To his dismay, he nearly lost half his life.
Whether it was Shen Keqin or Han Yunuo, if these two little troublemakers got into trouble on his turf, he would be in serious trouble.
Just as she was about to take out her phone to make a call, both Shen Keqin and Han Yunuo grabbed her arms.
Han Yunuo, her face covered in blood like a female ghost, said, "If you dare call my dad, I'll smash your club."
Shen Keqin, her hair messy, clothes torn, and face scratched, added, "If you call my brother again, I'll say you scratched my face."
The two who had been fighting to the death were now surprisingly harmonious.
He Gaomin couldn't afford to offend either of these two little ancestors. Fortunately, Guan Mingxu was still there. After a few words, he took Shen Keqin away.
Guan Mingxu originally intended to take Shen Keqin to the hospital, but Shen Keqin adamantly refused. She stretched out her hand and said, "Got a cigarette? Give me one."
Guan Mingxu was furious and slapped her hand away, a mocking smile on his lips. "What? Still want a cigarette after the fight?"
Looking at the injuries on Shen Keqin's face, Guan Mingxu sighed and pulled her to a pharmacy across the street.
He pushed Shen Keqin onto a chair and sternly threatened, "Wait here obediently. I'll go buy the medicine. If I don't see you when I come out, we're done."
Shen Keqin didn't say anything but stayed put obediently. Seeing her like this, Guan Mingxu took off his jacket and draped it over her before rushing into the pharmacy to buy disinfectant spray and bandages.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he came out and saw Shen Keqin still there.
Shen Keqin usually hated pain, but during the disinfection, she didn't even frown. She stared blankly ahead, lost in thought.
Guan Mingxu followed her gaze but saw nothing.
"Han Yunuo is always so foul-mouthed. You know what she's like, so why did you get so worked up? Did getting hurt in a fight make you feel better?"
Hearing this, Shen Keqin snorted, "She got hurt even worse than me."
Guan Mingxu was amused and exasperated. "Oh, so you're proud of that?"
"Ouch... be gentle!"
"You still feel pain, huh? Serves you right!"
Shen Keqin looked at Guan Mingxu's angry face and couldn't help but laugh. "Guan'er, why do you look more disheveled than I do!"
Mentioning this made Guan Mingxu extremely depressed. She had come out with Shen Keqin to relax, who would have thought something like this would happen.
Two women fighting was even more terrifying than two men fighting.
He went to break up the fight and was beaten by both women. He had a stomach full of grievances with no one to tell.
"You have the nerve to say that! You're the one who scratched my face the most!"
Shen Keqin: "...It definitely wasn't me. Look how short my nails are!"
Shen Keqin held up her hands. Alright, her nails weren't short.
Guan Mingxu couldn't be bothered to retort. He disinfected her wounds and applied bandages.
Shen Keqin: "Here, let me disinfect you."
"No, I'm afraid I'll get hurt even worse. What was just a small wound might become disfigured after you put medicine on it."
"Tch..."
Guan Mingxu handed her a cup of hot milk. "Drink this."
Shen Keqin took it and looked at Guan Mingxu gratefully. "Guan'er, having a good brother like you is the greatest fortune of my life."
"Less sentimentality, drink up quickly. I'll take you home after you finish."
Shen Keqin pouted. "I'm not going home. If I go back looking like this, my parents and brother will ask endless questions, and I might get lectured all night."
"Then where will you go? Planning to crash at a hotel for the night?"
Seeing Guan Mingxu applying medicine to himself using the front camera of his phone, Shen Keqin leaned in and smiled. "How about... I go home with you!"
Guan Mingxu jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Don't get me into trouble!"
Shen Keqin rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Look how timid you are. I've stayed at your place before when I was little, so what's wrong with staying for a night? Or... are you afraid you won't be able to control yourself if you're with me?"
"Heh heh..."
Guan Mingxu gave a fake laugh. "I'm afraid your family will eat me alive, especially your fifth brother."
Shen Keqin sighed, her head drooping sadly. "But I really don't want to go home."
That house was filled with the presence of Jian Mubai. She tried hard to suppress the thoughts, but the more she tried, the more she thought of him.
"Then shall I call your sister-in-law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Shen Keqin giving him a suspicious look, Guan Mingxu felt a chill down his spine. "What?"
"Guan'er, tell me honestly, have you forgotten about my sister-in-law? Are you using the excuse of having her pick me up to see her?"
Guan Mingxu: "..."
If Shen Keqin hadn't said it, he wouldn't have thought of it.
He sighed and sat down next to Shen Keqin. "To be honest with you, I fell in love with Nian Nian at first sight. I think she's the best girl in the world, but I know perfectly well that I don't have that kind of fortune, so... no matter how hard it is, I will let her go."
Guan Mingxu turned and met Shen Keqin's sympathetic gaze. She reached out and patted his head. "Guan'er, it's not your fault. If your rival in love were someone else, I'd help you, but your rival is my fifth brother."
Shen Keqin said sternly, "Firstly, he's my biological brother. Secondly, let alone the two of us, even if you added a hundred of you, we still couldn't defeat my brother."
"Alright!"
Guan Mingxu couldn't take it anymore and removed Shen Keqin's hand. Seeing the wounds on her back, he started applying medicine to her again. "As long as Nian Nian is happy, I'll be content."
Shen Keqin smiled. "Well, our Guan'er is so great, you'll definitely meet a very, very good girl. If all else fails, marry me. I'll be your wife."
Guan Mingxu: "...Go bother someone else. I want a peaceful second half of my life!"
Shen Keqin angrily hit Guan Mingxu several times. "What's wrong with me? I'm so beautiful, so cute. Marrying you would be a bargain for you, and you actually dislike me."
Guan Mingxu dodged and laughed. "No, no, no, how dare I dislike you? It's I who am unworthy of the fairy princess Qinqin."
At this moment, in the shadows of the alley opposite, a man in a black trench coat quietly watched the two laughing and joking figures. He took out a cigarette and lit it.
Only when they got into a taxi and left did he calmly withdraw his gaze, turn, and walk away.
