In the end, she gave up struggling because Qi Silin pinched her so hard it hurt.

"Liuyun, see the guest off."

The man flung Evert aside like he was throwing away trash, then took the food from Liu Yun's hands.

Without even glancing at Evert, he walked straight past him. Gently taking the little girl's wrist, he led her to a sofa not far away.

"Are you hungry? I've seen you've been quite busy lately, so I haven't had the heart to bother you. But seeing you like this isn't good. I don't know if you've been eating properly, so I'm here to feed you."

As he spoke, he opened the food he had brought from Xinglan. Instantly, the rich aroma of the food wafted out, and in that same instant, Qi Jiu felt her stomach rumble.

Hmm, this food has arrived just in time. But now...

"Of course I'll eat properly. Why would I starve myself?" Nothing is more important than a good meal.

Qi Jiu lay half-reclined on the sofa, swinging her legs idly, waiting for Qi Silin to set out the food on the table.

Meanwhile, Liu Yun looked at Evert, who was completely bewildered but didn't want to leave, and snorted coldly.

"If you don't leave, I'll take action."

As if to prove the truth of the matter, Liu Yun deliberately rolled up his short-sleeved shirt, and the muscles on his arms twitched.

The moment the muscular muscles were exposed, Evert's expression changed, and fear filled his brown pupils.

He hesitated as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he left without saying anything.

He wasn't a coward; he just suddenly realized something was wrong.

assistant:"……"

Seeing that his boss was too busy to pay attention to him, Wang De consciously left the office and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Yes, he is superfluous.

Qi Silin watched the girl happily munching on sweet and sour pork ribs and chuckled softly. But when he thought of the Western-looking man from earlier, his smile faded slightly.

"That was... "

He had clearly intended to attack just now, so naturally he wasn't worried about Qiqi's safety. If he could take down even specially trained mercenaries, what was there to worry about?

He was just curious and wanted to find out more. If he understood, he could strike harder if they ran into each other again.

"Effert, the representative of the Star Moon L Country branch."

"The representative of the Star Moon branch?"

Chongyu, carrying a bowl, approached without anyone noticing. "Why isn't he staying in L country? What's he doing here looking for you? And why is he acting so aggressively? Did you offend him? Did you eat his rice?"

Liu Yun: "..."

Qi Jiu: "..." Do you want to hear what you're saying?

The girl didn't look up; she hadn't swallowed the meat in her mouth yet, and her words were somewhat unclear.

"I need money."

"You need money?" This time it was Qi Silin's turn to be stunned. Let alone a representative, even an ordinary employee in L country shouldn't be short of money.

The salaries at multinational corporations are much higher than those of ordinary workers.

"Would a branch representative be short of money?"

The girl took a sip of the chilled fruit tea and squinted her eyes contentedly.

"The branch representatives are not short of money, but those who frequent casinos are very short of money."

Although the sentence was somewhat ambiguous, everyone present was not stupid and quickly understood what was going on.

How could a perfectly good representative go gambling?

Next, they tacitly skipped the topic and focused their attention on the food in front of them.

That day, the man was dressed in a black suit, his posture was upright, and he exuded an aura of "don't touch me".

Liu Yun stepped forward. "Master, the person has arrived."

He nodded and sneered, "Fine, treat them well, you must treat them well."

He emphasized the last four words.

Meanwhile, on this side...

Inside the villa area, a young girl dressed in black pajamas was half-lying on a sofa.

Every now and then, he would use a fork to throw a piece of fruit into his mouth, and every now and then he would sip a sip of the fruit tea in front of him, enjoying life to the fullest.

The air conditioner in the living room is still blasting. This kind of life, where you can just lie down and get paid, is probably what others envy the most.

Just as the TV drama reached a crucial point, the cell phone on the table started buzzing.

“Boss, Evert’s problem is serious, both professionally and personally. Should I go to Country L? China has refused to resolve this issue. Next, he should go back and ask other business tycoons for help.”

Qi Jiu hummed in agreement and turned to lie down.

"You can go to country L, I'll take care of things here."

The call had barely ended and she hadn't even put the phone down when it started vibrating in her hand. "Ah Lin?"

After exchanging a few simple words with the person opposite, Qi Jiu got up from the sofa and left the villa area.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she stood at Xinglan's door, looking at Liuyun who was already waiting there, and raised an eyebrow.

"Miss Qi, over here."

The girl nodded and followed behind Liu Yun until they reached the innermost room on the second floor, where they stopped.

She looked up at the room number above and narrowed her eyes in confusion.

"It's just going out for a meal, why book such a nice room?"

Xinglan is considered the pinnacle of restaurants in City A, and this room is the pinnacle of Xinglan's offerings; you have to book in advance to use it.

Previously, Xinglan always offered takeout, but now...

Liu Yun touched the back of her neck, unsure of what to say, and could only help her open the door to the private room.

"Miss Qi, you'll see when you go inside. Master is waiting for you."

The girl pursed her lips and went inside.

The moment she stepped inside with her left foot, the scene before her eyes came into view. To be honest, seeing these two people here was somewhat unexpected.

Qi Silin, dressed in a suit, sat solemnly at the dining table, his imposing aura suddenly becoming more palatable, befitting the rumored Young Master Qi.

Looking at the person opposite her, although he was also dressed in a black suit, his movements were noticeably more restrained, and his gaze towards Qi Silin even carried a hint of caution.

It's like a mouse seeing a cat.

Evert?

These two were practically fighting in Xingyue before, how come they're now sitting at the same table eating?

"Qiqi? She's here."

Qi Silin turned to look at the person standing at the door, then turned around and pulled out the chair next to her, patting the chair affectionately.

The meaning was clear: he wanted her to sit next to him.

The girl didn't refuse, obediently walked over and sat down beside him, looking at Evert across from her with wide, surprised eyes, and smiled.

Surprised? Unexpected?

Evert: "..."

"I remember you like these sweet and sour dishes, so try this sweet and sour fish, and sweet and sour pork ribs. Order anything else you'd like to eat."
