Chapter 25 If you have no bottom line, she'll only have even less.

Fang Ke refused.

Before going to the yacht, she needed to do some preparation, which could take a long or short time, so she didn't want to keep the driver waiting.

Zhao Qi didn't say anything, and the two roughly agreed on a time, after lunch.

It's nine o'clock in the morning, and many shopping malls have just opened.

Fang Ke felt the timing was perfect, so she grabbed her phone and keys and went out. She was completely unfazed, as she had received over 100,000 yuan in financial aid from Yan Nuo and Zhao Qi yesterday in her WeChat account.

When it comes to taking care of his appearance, Fang Ke has always pursued perfection and is very generous to himself.

She found the highest-rated hair salon in Jingzhou, which also had the highest average spending per person, and directly contacted the salon's best design director to create her new look for this advertisement.

Fang Ke was the first customer of the day. The customer was still sleepy and originally just wanted to finish the job honestly, but he became more and more awake as he listened to Fang Ke's requests.

"Guest, if you want to achieve the effect you desire, it won't be cheap."

Fang Ke smiled calmly: "Go ahead and use the best materials, I have plenty of money."

The director excitedly raised her pinky finger and exclaimed, "Yes, sir!"

It took more than four hours to style my hair. After the final wash and blow-dry, all the staff in the hair salon were amazed.

Several of them were secretly taking pictures.

This color, this smoothness... it's too eye-catching.

The director was very satisfied with his work and took several photos of Fang Ke, which he planned to upload to his personal account later.

"Guest, are you satisfied?"

Fang Ke stroked her long, curly hair, which had been completely recolored, and was very satisfied.

She went straight to pay the exorbitant bill and was seen off by the director, who bowed low.

After leaving the hair salon, Fang Ke felt that her clothes didn't match her hair; the color was too dark and the style was too conservative.

She quickly selected several stores and bought several outfits to take home.

Only after everything was settled could she send a message to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi: [I've caught a whole bucket of fish, aren't you coming?]

Fang Ke: [On my way.]

Zhao Qi: [Okay, let me know when you arrive, and I'll have someone come out to meet you. We just docked half an hour ago.]

Fang Ke: [OK]

A hint of amusement flickered in Zhao Qi's eyes. He truly hadn't expected Fang Ke to actually come alone to accept the invitation.

Could it be true, as those online rumors suggest, that Fang Ke suffered a severe mental breakdown and has now completely given up on Yi Mohan, starting to let herself go?

Zhao Qi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the deep blue sea and murmured to himself.

"It's good to let yourself go. You were blind before, but I hope you won't disappoint me this time."

He opened his phone and suddenly saw his chat with Yan Nuo from that morning, still stuck on the other's barrage of questions.

Zhao Qi did have some bad intentions. He exaggerated what happened yesterday to Su Yao, and Su Yao seemed really angry. Yan Nuo was going to suffer a lot.

However, when Yan Nuo pressed him for details about "what exactly happened between you and Fang Ke," Zhao Qi chose to ignore her.

He recalled last night when Fang Ke sat in his passenger seat, and calmly pulled over the seatbelt and buckled it, despite Fang Ke's somewhat surprised look.

Then he could speak: "There's already one heartbroken person tonight, let's not have a second one."

Zhao Qi seemed to be seeing her so interesting for the first time; she was like a completely different person, and every word she said was fascinating.

He pulled the car over to the side of the road and asked with a smile, "How so?"

Fang Ke looked at him strangely, "How come you followed us the whole way and didn't see me being kicked out of the car by Yan Nuo?"

Zhao Qi just smiled and remained silent. "I've told you before, you'd be better off choosing me than him. At least as a gentleman, I would never do something as rude as kicking my female companion out of the car."

"Hmm~" Fang Ke felt it was hard to say; Zhao Qi seemed even more dangerous than Yan Nuo.

What does the second half of the sentence mean?

“You’ve been following me all this way. If I refuse your request, you’ll be in just as bad a situation as I am.”

Zhao Qi: ...

Zhao Qi paused for a moment, then finally burst into laughter.

He looks good when he smiles, because his skin is fair and his neck and cheeks turn red when he smiles.

Fang Ke has no other bad habits, except that she can't stand seeing handsome young men hanging around in front of her.

She rested her chin on her hand, her fox-like eyes filled with a smile, and slowly said, "It's worth it to make a beauty smile."

"..."

Zhao Qi's laughter faded, and he glared at her with teary eyes, clearly dissatisfied with the title "beauty".

"Senior, you're really brave to get into a stranger's car like that. Aren't you afraid I'll do something bad?"

Fang Ke thought nothing of Fang Ke's behavior of deliberately lowering his voice to say harsh words.

"You did something bad... Haha, junior, with that face of yours, how could I possibly be at a disadvantage?"

Fang Ke's expression was no joke; it was even so serious that it was somewhat alluring and seductive.

Zhao Qi never expected that he would be the first to succumb to this ambiguous atmosphere, as Fang Ke seemed to have suddenly become a queen who could not be controlled by anyone.

If you have no bottom line, she'll only have even less.

If you make threats, she'll become even more ruthless.

Zhao Qi felt a little uncomfortable and finally said, "I suddenly don't want to take you home anymore. Let me take you to see the sunrise instead."

Fang Ke rested her chin on her hand, still thinking, "But I'm so sleepy."

When Zhao Qi was feeling troubled, he liked to play with his silver lighter. He casually said, "If you can pretend to be Yan Nuo's girlfriend, then it's not too much to ask you to watch the sunrise with me, right? Whatever conditions he offered, I'll pay double."

Fang Ke remained silent for a long time. Zhao Qi thought she had fallen asleep, but when he turned around, he saw that Fang Ke was still in the same position.

She rested her chin on the windowsill with one hand, her eyes still clear, fixed on the stars outside the window.

As dusk fell, she looked indescribably beautiful, radiating an aura that seemed to be enhanced by the extreme filter applied to her image.

"Why do you like to compete with Yan Nuo for things so much? With your family background, good people and things are lined up for you to choose from, young master."

Zhao Qi's expression changed slightly, but he continued playing with his lighter. After a long while, he chuckled softly and uttered a few words.

"I just think it's fun."

Fang Ke let out a muffled laugh, "Fine, don't tell me then."

Both of them were intelligent, and even when the topics were thought-provoking, they always kept the conversation brief and to the point.

Fang Ke stretched lazily one last time, his fox-like eyes gazing into the depths of the other's eyes with a friendly smile.

"I think we're quite similar, maybe we can become friends. It's only right for me to accompany a friend to watch the sunrise, so I won't charge you."

Zhao Qi had considered all the possibilities, but he never expected Fang Ke to say those words.

friend?

Is that acceptable?

What makes her so special?

Does she know how many years it has been since he's had such a luxurious relationship?

Zhao Qi pursed his thin lips into a line, silently started the sports car, and headed towards the seaside under the stars.

But for some reason, that heart, which had been dormant for so long, suddenly began to beat wildly and frantically after a couple of weak beats...

Recalling this, Zhao Qi couldn't help but clutch his heart, a heart he couldn't control, which was now beating very strongly.

He exhaled and suddenly replied to Yan Nuo's follow-up questions that had been flooding his screen that morning.

[I said I'd only answer one question, why are you chasing me with more? Go ask Fang Ke, don't you have her WeChat?]

After sending the message, Zhao Qi put his phone away in a good mood.

He had already put on a white T-shirt and transformed back into that innocent and well-behaved boy.

But beneath his angelic exterior lies a heart ready to commit evil.

Just like how he knew perfectly well that Fang Ke had blocked Yan Nuo, he still deliberately sent that WeChat message.

Zhao Qi was in a good mood when he heard the butler come up and say, "Young Master, a pink-haired girl has come in. Is she Miss Fang? I'll go and invite her up."

Zhao Qi: "Okay, go ahead... wait, what did you say about hair?"

Pink hair?

Where has Fang Ke gone to let loose again after just one day?
