Jing Zhe wasn't in the mood to chat idly with a little girl.

So after saying that, he left Su Xiaoxiao standing there in a daze and quickly returned to his room.

He locked the door, lay down on the bed, and made up his mind not to open the door for anyone else.

Unfortunately, not long after I lay down, someone knocked on the door.

Jing Zhe, presumably Su Xiaoxiao, did not answer.

"President Jing, are you asleep?"

A male voice came from outside, seemingly belonging to a servant.

"President Jing, the princess has something to discuss with you."

"..."

"It seems she's asleep..."

After several unanswered calls, the person outside muttered something to himself and then left.

Haha, is that all you've got? You think you can fool me?

I thought that was the end of it, but I didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to be so persistent. She came back shortly after the servant left.

"Shameless! Come out here!"

"Shameless, you really slept with him?"

"Shameless—Senior sister, I told you he was asleep!"

"..."

Jing Zhe, who had been lying down, immediately sat up.

Hurry up to the door and open it.

At this moment, Qiu Qianqian, who had changed out of her black training clothes and was now wearing a moon-colored cotton dress, stood quietly and beautifully outside the door. When Jing Zhe looked over, she also looked over, and their eyes met. She raised her head with a hint of pride.

At this moment, Jing Zhe's eyes were only on Qiu Qianqian, as for Su Xiaoxiao—he had long since ignored her.

In a relationship between two people, what's the big deal about having a third wheel?

But the third wheel clearly didn't understand, and said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say you were asleep?"

"Who said I was asleep?"

"..."

He remained silent and definitely didn't say he was asleep...

"Since you're not asleep, why don't you speak?"

"I thought there were dogs barking outside, and I was too scared to speak..."

"..."

Su Xiaoxiao stomped her foot in anger, looked at Qiu Qianqian, and complained, "Senior sister, look, he not only bullies you, but he bullies me too!"

"Cough cough..."

Qiu Qianqian coughed lightly twice and said gently, "Xiao Xiao, he might really be afraid of dogs, he's not pretending not to hear..."

"Senior sister, you—"

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened as she looked at her senior sister in disbelief. Then, suddenly remembering what Jing Zhe had just said, she cautiously asked, "By the way, senior sister, you said he bullied you—"

"Little one, you must have misheard. He didn't bully me. Besides, he's just a lowly fifth-rank club president. How could he dare to bully me?"

Qiu Qianqian blinked and smiled.

"..."

Now, Su Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered. She looked at Jing Zhe, then at Qiu Qianqian, and felt that something was off...

"Little princess, what did I tell you? You must have remembered wrong. How could I dare to bully you?"

Then, in a serious tone, she asked, "I wonder what brings Princess Qianqian here to see me?"

When Qiu Qianqian heard "Qianqian", her heart jumped into her throat. She couldn't believe he was so bold.

Hearing the word "princess" at the end, she breathed a sigh of relief, but still secretly glared at Jing Zhe before putting on a serious face.

"When you left Tongtianque today, Senior Brother Xue hadn't finished organizing the tasks Master had assigned, so Master asked me to bring you the manuscript that Senior Brother Xue had written, in case it was too late for you to use it."

As he spoke, he pulled a manuscript from his chest and handed it to Jing Zhe.

The manuscript still carried Qiu Qianqian's fragrance and warmth. Jing Zhe rubbed it in his hand for a while, and while Su Xiaoxiao was in a daze, he deliberately held it to his nose to feel it. Qiu Qianqian's face instantly turned red, and fearing that Su Xiaoxiao would notice, she glared at Jing Zhe again.

Jing Zhe pretended to read the manuscript, then frowned and said, "Princess Qianqian, there are some parts of this manuscript that I don't quite understand. Also, regarding how to maximize the publicity of this manuscript before the martial arts tournament, I have a few ideas that I'd like to discuss with you..."

"Okay, go ahead and tell me."

"Well... because there are too many things involved, it might be impossible to explain them all in a short time. And it's dark outside, so why don't we go inside and talk under the light?"

"All right!"

The two of them acted very seriously in front of Su Xiaoxiao, which was a little tiring.

So Jing Zhe opened the door and let Qiu Qianqian in.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to follow, but Jing Zhe stopped her.

"My dear Princess, what Princess Qianqian and I are discussing are important matters, which you wouldn't understand anyway. It would take a long time and be boring. I think you should go back and rest first!"

"I'm not leaving. What if you bully my senior sister again?"

Su Xiaoxiao said warily.

"Princess Qianqian is of such noble status, and her martial arts skills are quite high. I wouldn't dare to bully her even if I had the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"

My status is just as noble, yet you still bullied me.

Su Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips: "But—"

"Xiaoxiao, he's right. How can I let him bully me? It's getting late. If you go back late, your godfather will probably worry and send someone to look for you!"

By sending Su Xiaoxiao away, Qiu Qianqian naturally knew that Jing Zhe had ulterior motives, but deep down she also didn't want Su Xiaoxiao to be there...

Therefore, after saying that, her face turned red.

"All right!"

The two seemed very strange, but there was no clue as to why. Since they were genuinely discussing business, Su Xiaoxiao lost interest and left after finishing her conversation.

"Princess Qianqian, please come in!"

Jing Zhe gestured for her to enter, but Qiu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and went inside.

Jing Zhe watched Qiu Qianqian sway her hips with captivating charm, then closed and locked the door, and picked her up from behind.

Qiu Qianqian gasped in surprise, then covered her mouth and let him carry her into the inner room and throw her onto the bed.

...

"Weren't you talking about serious business?"

Qiu Qianqian sat up in bed, gathered her disheveled hair, and asked in a deep voice.

"Isn't practicing martial arts the most important thing?"

As soon as Jing Zhe finished speaking, he pounced on him.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Qiu Qianqian, panting heavily, gently patted Jing Zhe's chest.

"You said I was a princess and wouldn't be bullied!"

"Hehe, who told you to look down on me as a mere club president?"

Qiu Qianqian, however, feigned reluctance. She had already anticipated what would happen when she sent Su Xiaoxiao away, so she was actually happy inside.

But what Jing Zhe did next terrified Qiu Qianqian, and her voice even sounded like she was about to cry.

What are you doing?

"Can't you be a little gentler?"

"Who gave you permission to tear someone's clothes?"

"Stop it right now! If you finish tearing it, how am I supposed to get out of here?"

Jing Zhe then stopped, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Your dress is pretty, but I don't know how to take it off!"

"Tear it off if you can't take it off?"

Qiu Qianqian pushed him away and glared at him.

"Watch me, I'll do it myself!"

"..."
