She continued angrily, "Chen Zhao, I don't want to hold what happened last time against you. This is between Miss Yi and me, and I hope you won't interfere."

Chu Nian, feigning curiosity, asked, "What happened last time? What happened between you two last time?"

Judging from the current situation, the male and female leads have probably only met once so far, which can only be considered their first meeting. That is, Cheng Kejia made an appointment with her business partner to discuss business, but she missed going up one floor and went into the wrong room, ending up in the male lead Chen Zhao's room, where Chen Zhao fell in love with her at first sight.

Chen Zhao, who has never liked women, deliberately flirted with her as if she were a "special guest service." Otherwise, why would Geng Qiu have said that this young lady looked familiar? The two had indeed met before.

Therefore, Chu Nian was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

Chen Zhao quickly said, "Nothing's wrong." After a pause, he added, "Let's get in the car and go home."

“No,” Cheng Kejia grabbed Chu Nian tightly again, “Miss Yi, you can’t treat Ai Wen like this, you have to come with me to see him.”

Chen Zhao: "Miss Cheng, if I'm not mistaken, the Ai Wen you mentioned should be your boyfriend, right? Why are you insisting on dragging my Niannian to meet your boyfriend? What are you trying to do?"

Lou Qianzong, who was watching from inside the car, was more anxious than anyone else. At this moment, he could no longer hold back and leaned out to shout, "Chen Zhao, why are you meddling in their business?"

Chen Zhao suddenly turned her head and glared at him, her gaze sharp.

Lou Qianzong immediately cowered and quickly shrank back into place.

Geng Qiu, who was standing next to him, looked at him with a mixture of surprise and amusement.

When he saw that the man had turned his sinister gaze toward him, Geng Qiu raised an eyebrow, tried to suppress the smile on his face, and turned his head to look ahead. However, the corners of his mouth were still slightly upturned, which made Lou Qianzong extremely angry.

This really is a case of "using brine to curdle tofu, one thing subdues another."

Remembering how she was constantly suppressed by Lou Qianzong in the previous world, and how she suffered from angina pectoris at the drop of a hat, Chu Nian felt an extraordinary sense of satisfaction seeing someone else suppressing Lou Qianzong like this. The key point was: this person was also protecting her while suppressing Lou Qianzong.

Cheng Kejia, her face streaked with tears, looked pitiful as she pleaded softly, "Miss Yi, please, go and see Ai Wen!"

I believe him. He said you can cure him, and you definitely can. I promise you, as long as he recovers, I'll give him to you. I'll leave him and never see him again. I just hope he can be well and happy... *sobs*

Chen Zhao frowned, coughed lightly, and called out, "Geng Qiu!"

"Understood!" Geng Qiu quickly replied, climbed out of the car, and stepped between Chu Nian and Cheng Kejia, saying, "Miss Cheng, if Mr. Ai is sick, please take him to the hospital to see a doctor. What use is it for you to come to our Nian Nian?"

Cheng Kejia cried, "No, the doctor said Ai Wen's injury is permanent and incurable. But Ai Wen said that Miss Yi can heal his injury. Please, please let me take Miss Yi to see Ai Wen!"

Chen Zhao asked Chu Nian in a low voice, "Do you want to go?"

Chu Nian replied, "I don't want to."

"Then let's go home." Chen Zhao said, helping Chu Nian into the car, and then winked at Geng Qiu.

Geng Qiu understood, quickly turned around and got back into the car, closed the door, stepped on the gas, and the car shot off.

"No, wait a minute, wait a minute..." Although Cheng Kejia wanted to stop her, how could she compare to the speed of Geng Qiu and others who had received specialized training?

She could only shout and bang on the car door. After the car drove away, she even ran after it, eventually falling to the ground and crying bitterly. She looked extremely pitiful and it was heartbreaking.

It seems that in the original book, after Ai Wen was captured by Li Lunkai's laboratory, Cheng Kejia begged Chen Zhao in this way, and Chen Zhao did indeed soften his heart, and fell even more deeply in love with her because of this.

Now that this scene was unfolding before her eyes, Chu Nian couldn't help but turn to look at Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao indeed checked the situation behind the car through the rearview mirror. When he saw Chu Nian turn her head to look at him, he said in a deep voice, "How about I go and check on Ai Wen for you and help you cut off all contact with him!"

Chu Nian suddenly realized: she really had a soft heart.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Chen Zhao decided to wait and see, because there were some things he was afraid would make her angry.

Lou Qianzong scoffed and said indignantly, "Why are you meddling in their business? What's it to you?"

Chen Zhao retorted coldly, "What's it to you?"

Lou Qianzong's handsome face was puffed up with anger, and he was panting heavily, but he didn't dare to utter a sound.

Chu Nian pursed her lips and chuckled to herself, turning to look out the window: the city was brightly lit, bustling with traffic—what a beautiful sight! Ha!

"Don't gloat!" Lou Qianzong suddenly turned around and pointed at Chu Nian angrily.

Chen Zhao immediately snapped at him, "Are you looking for a beating?"

Lou Qianzong stared at him for a long time, but Chen Zhao didn't care how much he stared back.

The two men stared at each other for a long time, both looking furious. Finally, Lou Qianzong softened and angrily turned to look ahead.

But he only remained silent for a moment before muttering a curse: "I'm destined to be incompatible with women whose names contain the character 'Nian'!"

"If you don't shut up, you can get off the bus!" Chen Zhao said in a deep voice. "Go home by yourself!"

Lou Qianzong leaned against the car window, almost burying his head inside.

Chu Nian suspected he was crying in secret, but then thought it impossible: he was a powerful poison zombie, after all, it couldn't be that bad!

However, Lou Qianzong was a master of acting, and a master of disguise. Chu Nian had already seen through him. In front of Chen Zhao, he always acted like a little puppy, and a sycophant at that, using all sorts of cute and silly tricks to please him. His fierce, evil, and sinister side was deeply hidden.

Of course, based on Chu Nian's experience with him in the previous world, his viciousness, evil, and sinister nature were only verbal; Chu Nian had not yet discovered what evil deeds he had actually committed.

Will a puppy really cry if it's been wronged? Even if it pretends to cry, it's still crying!

Chu Nian tilted her head and glanced at Lou Qianzong, really wanting to see his face clearly.

Unexpectedly, the little puppy leaned against the window, tilted its head, and peered at her through the gap in the passenger seat with an unusually sinister look: like a wounded wild beast.

At that moment, Chu Nian felt that he wanted to kill himself.

Chen Zhao pulled Chu Nian to sit next to him and said, "Nian Nian, Zhang Chi has prepared dinner."

Chu Nian already knew about this, because Zhang Chi had prepared a sumptuous dinner for her every night when she returned home these past few days. Chen Zhao was probably trying to distract Chu Nian by saying this.

Chu Nian nodded and said "Mm".

What pained Chu Nian was that the next day at the school gate, as soon as Chu Nian got off the bus, she saw Cheng Kejia. With a look of resignation, Cheng Kejia walked up to Chu Nian under the strange gazes of her classmates and knelt down in front of Chu Nian with a thud.
