Qin Yang's leisurely and carefree demeanor, as if he regarded even the most important matters as trivial, was deeply imprinted in Chen Yuqi's heart.

Even now, her heart is still pounding like a drum.

Half of it was because of the thrill and excitement I had just experienced.

The other half is the unsettling composure and...mystery that the man in front of her exudes.

Watching Qin Yang leisurely savor the ribs, it was as if the one he had just kicked to the ground, disheveled and threatening revenge, was not the eldest young master of the Sun family in the capital, but truly just an insignificant fly.

Chen Yuqi couldn't help but smile, a smile that was both teasing and genuine.

She spoke softly, her voice carrying a slight tremor that had just subsided.

"Mr. Qin..."

Qin Yang looked up at her, his eyes calm and unwavering.

"Um?"

Chen Yuqi felt a slight flush on her face from his gaze, but she still mustered her courage and said in a joking tone.

"Thank you... for helping me get rid of that buzzing fly."

She used the word "fly".

This was partly to follow Qin Yang's previous dismissive attitude towards Sun Yu, and partly to test Qin Yang's reaction.

After all, he's the eldest son of the Sun family.

The Sun family of the capital!

Even if Qin Yang is incredibly powerful, he's not someone you can just offend at will, right?

However, Qin Yang's reaction once again surprised her.

He just smiled faintly, as if what Chen Yuqi said was truly a trivial matter.

"nothing."

His tone was as flat as if he were saying, "The weather is nice today."

"That kind of stuff isn't worth wasting time on."

Chen Yuqi: "..."

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Not worth wasting time on?

That's Sun Yu!

One of the future heirs of the Sun family!

He's a figure whose every move makes the business world of the capital tremble!

When it came to Qin Yang, they became "goods" that were "not worth wasting time on"?

Who exactly is this Mr. Qin?

Chen Yuqi's curiosity was like a lake surface tossed with a pebble, creating ripples that spread in circles.

She steadied herself and took a deep breath.

Then I thought of something else that was even more important.

A major event that concerns the fate of the entire Chen family.

Her expression became more serious.

Their gazes toward Qin Yang were filled with gratitude.

“Mr. Qin, besides what just happened... I would also like to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the Chen family.”

Qin Yang put down his chopsticks, picked up the napkin next to him, and wiped the corner of his mouth with an elegant gesture.

He looked at Chen Yuqi, signaling her to continue.

Chen Yuqi's voice was filled with sincere gratitude.

"If it weren't for your help, our Chen family would probably... probably have been swallowed up by the Ming family."

"We are so grateful for your kindness to the Chen family..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yang interrupted her.

"It was just a small favor."

Qin Yang's tone remained as calm as ever.

For him, dealing with the Ming family was no different than swatting away a fly.

It might even be easier than swatting away a fly.

At least, he used some force when he kicked Sun Yu.

And dealing with the Ming family...

It seems he didn't put in much effort at all.

Chen Yuqi looked into Qin Yang's deep eyes, trying to discern something from them.

But inside, there was only tranquility.

Like an ancient well or deep pool, it remains completely still.

This unfathomable feeling made Chen Yuqi feel that Qin Yang was mysterious and powerful even more.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say more words of thanks.

But seeing Qin Yang's seemingly indifferent expression, she swallowed her words back.

Perhaps, for someone like Mr. Qin, too much gratitude would seem a bit...cliché.

"In short... our Chen family will always remember this kindness."

In the end, Chen Yuqi only said this sentence solemnly.

Qin Yang nodded noncommittally and picked up his chopsticks again.

"Let's eat."

"The food is getting cold."

Chen Yuqi looked at him and had no choice but to pick up her chopsticks, but her mind was no longer on the food.

The two ate their meal in silence.

The atmosphere became somewhat quiet for a moment.

Chen Yuqi occasionally glanced at Qin Yang and noticed that he was eating very attentively, as if the food on the table was some kind of delicacy.

She couldn't help but find it a little funny.

This man is truly... unfathomable.

At times, he is domineering and arrogant, treating the powerful and wealthy as nothing.

At other times, he's like a friendly older brother next door, quietly enjoying a dinner.

This contrast, far from making her feel strange, actually added to her unique charm.

After a while.

Qin Yang put down his chopsticks.

"I'm full."

Chen Yuqi also put down her chopsticks.

"I'm almost there too."

Qin Yang looked out the window.

Night had fallen.

"Let's go."

"I'll take you back."

Chen Yuqi nodded.

"good."

The two got up and left the restaurant.

The evening breeze carried a slight coolness, brushing against my face and invigorating me.

Qin Yang went to get the car.

It was a black sedan that looked rather unassuming, but anyone in the know could immediately tell that it was quite valuable.

Chen Yuqi got into the passenger seat.

Qin Yang started the car and smoothly merged into the traffic.
