The two old men chatted enthusiastically with Ji Fuling and Ye Nanqing, and even invited them to have dinner at the villa.

After dinner, seeing that it was getting dark, Ji Fuling thought of her three children at home and felt it was time to go home.

She stood up, smiled, and said, "Grandpa, I should go back now. You should get some rest. I'll come to see you again in a few days."

Grandpa Ji was a little reluctant, but when he thought that his granddaughter had returned and he could see her whenever he wanted, he immediately felt relieved.

Old Master Ye looked at Ye Nanqing, "Nanqing, you deliver the Poria cocos."

Ye Nanqing glanced at Ji Fuling and replied with a half-smile, "Okay."

Ji Fuling was inwardly opposed to it.

She always felt that Ye Nanqing was dangerous because she couldn't see through him at all.

This unpredictable feeling made her subconsciously want to avoid getting too involved with him.

However, in front of the two elders, she didn't know how to refuse, and only politely replied, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle."

After leaving the villa, Ji Fuling and Ye Nanqing walked side by side along the cobblestone path in the courtyard.

The landscape lights on both sides elongated the reflections of the two people, causing them to slowly overlap.

In the silence, Ye Nanqing suddenly looked at Ji Fuling and asked abruptly, "So, what did Ji Xinqi do to you?"

Ji Fuling paused slightly, turned her head to meet Ye Nanqing's gaze, and a sly glint flashed in her bright eyes, "You seem very interested in my affairs?"

"Uncle, you wouldn't happen to... like me, would you?"

Ji Fuling said that on purpose, because she felt that with Ye Nanqing's status, there must be many women around him who would try to curry favor with him.

So if she makes Ye Nanqing think that she is being presumptuous, it might provoke his dislike.

This way, she can avoid being interrogated by Ye Nanqing!

However, Ye Nanqing seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

A wicked smile suddenly curved his thin lips as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "What if I said yes?"

Ji Fuling's pupils dilated in shock: "!!!"

This didn't go as she had expected!

This is not something a cold and domineering CEO would say!

This man's rumored cold and aloof persona was definitely fabricated!

He's probably not a very charming playboy by nature!

Before they knew it, the two had left the courtyard.

Ye Nanqing's car was parked at the entrance. He casually opened the passenger door and said, "Get in."

Upon hearing his voice, Ji Fuling, who was in a daze, finally came to her senses.

She hesitated for a moment as she looked at the open car door, but ultimately followed her heart and declined, saying, "Uncle is very busy and must be very busy. I won't trouble him to take me home; I can just take a taxi myself."

Before Ye Nanqing could respond, Ji Fuling waved her hand and walked away.

Ye Nanqing didn't force her and got into the car himself.

This was the first time he had ever been rejected by a woman.

No, it should be that it was the first time he invited a woman into his car, only to be rejected.

This woman is more interesting than he imagined.

A hint of interest flashed in Ye Nanqing's eyes as he started the car and stepped on the gas.

After driving a short distance, he glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the woman was still standing there, seemingly unaware that it wasn't easy to hail a taxi in this kind of place.

Just as Ye Nanqing was wondering whether he should turn back to pick her up, he saw a black private car speeding towards him in the rearview mirror and stopping abruptly in front of Ji Fuling.

Immediately afterwards, the car door opened, and Ji Fuling was suddenly pulled into the car.

The next second, the private car sped away again.

The whole process takes no more than two minutes.

This is clearly a kidnapping.

Ye Nanqing frowned and immediately turned around to chase after the car.

Because it took some time to turn around, and the other car was driving very fast, even though Ye Nanqing floored the accelerator, there was still a distance between them.

After chasing for a moment, Ye Nanqing watched helplessly as the car turned a corner at the intersection ahead and disappeared from sight.

The thought of the woman's dangerous situation filled him with an indescribable sense of unease.

Damn it!

Ye Nanqing slammed his fist on the steering wheel, a thick cloud of gloom hanging over his handsome face.

I should have just shoved her into the car, whether she wanted to or not.

Ten minutes later, Ye Nanqing finally spotted the black private car he had lost at the entrance of a forest.

He immediately got out of the car and went into the woods to look for the person.

At this moment, a fierce battle had just taken place deep in the forest.

At this moment, several tall and burly kidnappers lay sprawled on the ground, their faces covered in red, swollen bruises, and some even bleeding from their heads.

Ji Fuling stepped on the head of one of the kidnappers, her black ankle boots grinding hard against his flesh, and coldly demanded, "Speak! Who sent you!"

"ah--"

The kidnappers, unable to bear the excruciating pain, let out screams like pigs being slaughtered.

"Will you talk or not? If you don't, don't blame me for not holding back!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Fuling kicked him hard again.

When Ye Nanqing rushed over, he saw a scene that was completely different from what he had imagined.

He thought he was going to be bullied terribly, but the woman who cried out for help not only single-handedly beat them all down, but also almost crushed their heads...

Ye Nanqing: "..."

How could he forget that this woman had studied martial arts and was quite skilled at it?

Even if I were to face him, I could hold my own for several rounds...

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Ji Fuling didn't bother to waste any more time. She kicked the man away and turned to leave.

When she turned around, she saw Ye Nanqing standing behind her and looked surprised. "Uncle? Didn't you leave? What are you doing here?"

Ye Nanqing steadied himself and said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, it's not easy to get a taxi here."

"Besides, if I don't get you back safely, I won't be able to explain it to my two elders."

As he spoke, Ye Nanqing stepped forward and pulled Ji Fuling out of the woods.

Hearing that it was hard to get a taxi, Ji Fuling didn't struggle and was led out of the woods by Ye Nanqing, who then stuffed her into the passenger seat.

If she had known it would turn out this way, she wouldn't have refused.

Isn't this unnecessary?

Being alone with Ye Nanqing in a confined space, Ji Fuling felt his cold and powerful aura even more clearly.

Although Ye Nanqing's persona doesn't quite match the rumors, she thinks the widespread belief that he's ruthless and decisive in his actions is true.

Moreover, this man is truly handsome, as if he has been favored by the Creator.

No wonder that little girl, Tian Tian, ​​was so infatuated that she was willing to betray even her own mother...

Ji Fuling was lost in thought for a while, and when she came to her senses, the car was already parked in front of the small villa.

She opened the car door, glanced back at the man in the driver's seat, and said, "I'll go in first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Fuling turned to get out of the car, but her arm was grabbed by a large hand.

She turned her head in confusion. "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

Ye Nanqing looked at her with a playful expression, "Have you forgotten something?"

Ji Fuling was initially confused, but quickly realized what Ye Nanqing was referring to.

She was a little speechless, and with a forced smile, she said, "Thank you, Uncle, for bringing me back."

"Um."

Only then did Ye Nanqing release her with satisfaction.

"Oh!! Mommy, so you weren't home because you secretly went on a date with that handsome uncle!"

Ji Tiantian's soft, sweet voice came from the doorway.
