Chapter 58 You're really hungry

The car headlights were so bright they couldn't open their eyes.

It wasn't a police car that arrived, and police cars don't arrive that quickly.

"Miss Wen Ni, are you alright?"

The car door opened, and a familiar voice made Wen Ni frown and look up at the person in the light. It was Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan ran over quickly and saw Wen Ni's dirty clothes and torn pants. His face was immediately filled with surprise and a hint of worry!

"Qin Yuan?"

"Wen Ni, do you two know each other?" Xie Wei, standing beside him, raised his arm to shield his eyes from the car lights, his gaze shifting between Wen Ni and Qin Yuan with a mixture of confusion and surprise.

The man in front of her was dressed in a suit and tie, and the car he was in was an expensive luxury car. How could such a person know Wen Ni?

Wen Ni was also filled with doubts about Qin Yuan's appearance.

Her gaze swept past Qin Yuan, then subconsciously fell on the black sedan with its windows closed behind the headlights…

"How did you know I was here? Did he send you to follow me?"

Wen Ni clearly didn't mention anything about herself on the phone, let alone that she had returned to Phoenix Village. So how did Lu Jinye find her?

"Miss Wen Ni, please don't misunderstand!"

Qin Yuan was taken aback and quickly explained, "Master Lu couldn't get in touch with you before, so he asked me to ask Xiao Weilai, and that's how I heard that you went back to Phoenix Village today."

"We happened to be in the city on business today, and we were worried you might be in trouble, so we stopped by to check on you! We were already here when the call connected, and we just happened to see you and..."

At this point, Qin Yuan paused, his eyes sweeping meaningfully over Xie Wei before turning to Wen Ni and continuing, "Anyway, you should leave with us first. I'll arrange for a car to pick up the rest of them."

"good."

Wen Ni nodded.

I turned my head slightly and just happened to see the tightly closed car window rolling down.

The person sitting in the car was only wearing a thin silver-gray shirt, and brown sunglasses covered most of his handsome face, revealing only his slightly pursed thin lips and his cold and arrogant chin!

The bodyguard in the car got out and opened the other door, waiting for Wen Ni.

Wen Ni lowered her eyes and walked towards him.

"Wen Ni..."

Xie Wei wanted to follow, but he was blocked by Qin Yuan's human wall as soon as he took a step forward.

"Kid, you sit in the car behind!"

Qin Yuan glanced at him coldly, then turned and sat in the passenger seat with an unapproachable air.

The car carrying Wen Ni drove away, leaving Xie Wei standing there helplessly, unable to do anything. His hands, clenched into fists at his sides, showed no sign of powerlessness…

He never imagined that the distance between him and her would become so vast.

Under the cover of night

The black sedan sped along the road to Phoenix Village.

"Miss Wen Ni, there are wet wipes in the side door. Why don't you take them out and wipe yourself down?" Qin Yuan, in the passenger seat, was quite thoughtful.

Wen Ni pulled out a few sheets and rubbed them on her face and hands.

"You still have coal dust on your right cheek!" Qin Yuan glanced at it in the rearview mirror and kindly reminded him.

Right cheek...

Wen Ni took out her phone to take a picture, but the phone was out of battery and wouldn't turn on.

She simply spread out a whole wet wipe, intending to smear it on her face, but before she could do so, a hand with clearly defined fingers reached out in front of her...

"Lu Jinye, what are you doing...?"

Before she could finish the last three words, he had already grabbed a wet wipe and pressed it directly onto her right cheekbone!

In that instant, Wen Ni's brain short-circuited slightly as if struck by an electric shock!

She sat there motionless, frozen in place.

Her eyes darted around and landed on his sexy wrist.

Everything about him suddenly magnified in her eyes!

The cuffs of the gray shirt were rolled up slightly, revealing strong, muscular forearms. Following the forearms upwards, one could see the sturdy arms encased in the shirt, their taut lines stretching every fold of the fabric, as if they might burst through the thin garment at any moment and fall into her eyes…

He tilted his head slightly, half of his handsome face hidden in the light and shadow, his bright eyes focused intently on her cheek as he wiped away the stubborn soot from her face!

Wen Ni, you're really hungry; you're tempted by everyone's good looks...

She cursed herself inwardly, but her gaze couldn't be taken off for even a second!

"By the way, Wen Ni, you..."

As Qin Yuan spoke, she turned her head, but the few words that were about to come out of her mouth were swallowed back down by the [warm, harmonious, and loving] scene in the back seat!

His voice also pulled Wen Ni back from her daze.

She turned her face away as if she'd been electrocuted, snatching the wet wipe from Lu Jinye's hand. "I'll wipe myself!"

"good."

Lu Jinye gave her a deep look, then withdrew his hand and sat up straight.

Too much quiet can be a bit awkward!

"Qin Yuan, what were you about to say?" Wen Ni looked at the back of Qin Yuan's head in the passenger seat, her eyes not daring to look away from Lu Jinye even slightly!

She didn't know what was wrong with her; her heart had never been beating this fast before, even when she was setting ambushes to kill people!

"Ah—I wanted to ask you, who is that man waiting with you at the intersection? You two seem to know each other quite well?"

Qin Yuan suppressed his astonishment and indescribable emotions, and forced a smile as he asked.

"You mean Xie Wei? He was my neighbor's older brother when I lived in Phoenix Village."

"So you and he are childhood sweethearts?" Qin Yuan feigned surprise. "No wonder! I always felt there was something ambiguous in his eyes when he looked at you. Could he like you?"

The question caused Lu Jinye, sitting in the back seat, to glance at him slightly, his fingers on his knees slowly tightening.

"You like me just because you looked at me a few times?"

Wen Ni's mood quickly calmed down, and she was amused by Qin Yuan's slightly immature words, "You and Lu Jinye keep an eye on me every day, does that mean you two like me too?"

"..."

"Are you kidding me?"

Qin Yuan quickly turned her face away to deny it, but her hands, which were clasped together, unconsciously clenched tightly.

"That settles it."

Wen Ni shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, and crossed her legs before getting down to business.

"By the way, have you finished taking care of things in the city? What important matter could it be that made you make a special trip back?"

Although the trip from the film set back to the city isn't far, it still takes several hours to travel back and forth.

"As you know, Mr. Lu owns some businesses."

Qin Yuan straightened his expression and resumed his serious demeanor. "There were some problems with the international supply chain, but fortunately they've all been resolved!"

The fact that Lu Jinye has to come back personally to handle this means it's definitely not a small, ordinary problem!

"Is it related to Godfather Ypres?"

Wen Ni's sensitivity to events remains as high as ever.

"Yes." Lu Jinye raised his eyebrows approvingly.

"He really knows how to get in and out of everything."

“If he wants to destroy me, he will infiltrate me in every way.” Lu Jinye leaned back, his eyes clear and cold. “But I won’t let him get away with it.”

"An eye for an eye. He's suffered just as much as I have this time."

A war without gunfire is also a thrilling and exhilarating battle!

During their conversation,

The car has arrived at the entrance of Phoenix Village.
