Perhaps it was the deep night that was too gentle, or perhaps it was the light that Ruan Qing'an's gaze seemed to shine, that made the world, locked in deathly silence, willing to open a tiny crack for this gaze.

Qin Xi was silent for a moment, then leaned against the sports car and said, "At that time, the Qin family was not in a good position, and my father was also in a low period of his career. This incident was a greater blow to him."

"Until—he discovered my talent. Although I was tormented by illness, it was a good opportunity for him. From then on, the Qin family and hNw rose to prominence."

“My mental state is dragging down my physical health. Although I look okay, I’m actually broken inside. Everyone says I won’t live past 25, so I’ve basically never left the Qin family villa.”

"Even when leaving, it's to go to the hospital for treatment. Even within the villa area, there are security personnel guarding it."

As the evening breeze began to rise, accompanied by the young man's clear voice, he leaned against the sports car, propping his face up, and calmly recounted his pain: "So, this is the happiest day I've had in my twenty-one years, sister."

Ruan Qing'an stepped forward, and before Qin Xi could react, she cupped his face in her hands, her leaden eyes filled with laughter: "Don't talk nonsense, little brother. You will be the same in the future."

"Every day from now on will be happier than today, Qin Xi, I promise."

As soon as the words were spoken, the whole world seemed to fall silent, with only the evening breeze rustling the leaves, but even that couldn't compare to the pounding of my heart at that moment.

Qin Xi's lips parted slightly, and in the slightly rounded dog's eyes, there was only Ruan Qing'an's smiling face, nothing else.

【Affection Level: 35】

Qin Xi's face was pinched by Ruan Qing'an's hand, and it hurt a little, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't look at me like that, sister, you'll go crazy..."

His voice was very low, almost a murmur, and Ruan Qing'an didn't hear it very clearly. She simply let go of his hand, and the car key circled between her slender fingers.

Ruan Qingan yawned lazily: "Alright, alright, let's go back. I'm so sleepy."

Just as Ruan Qing'an and the others were about to get into the car and leave, footsteps gradually approached from a distance. She didn't pay attention until she heard a curse.

"Ruan Qingan! You bitch, I've finally found you!"

When Nguyen Thanh An looked up again, he saw the same group of people he had found in the slums to collect debts. They didn't seem to be doing very well these days, and they looked rather disheveled.

The fat man in the lead charged straight at her, probably having learned his lesson after being beaten up last time. He had snatched a baton from one of his underlings and was running over aggressively.

Seeing their aggressive demeanor, Qin Xi frowned and asked, "Are these people here to cause trouble?"

"Yes, my dad owed money to the casino, and after he drowned in the river, the debt fell on my shoulders. They were in charge of collecting the debt."

Ruan Qing'an couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. He said to Qin Xi, "Why don't you get in the car first? This is my business. Once it's resolved, we'll go back to the Qin family."

"What other solution do you have?"

Qin Xi chuckled, pushed Ruan Qing'an into the car, and got in herself from the other side: "You didn't inherit a single penny from your father, so what does his gambling debt have to do with you?"

Ruan Qing'an was slightly taken aback. At this moment, the fat man had already pulled out his baton and, along with the thugs behind him, blocked the front of the sports car.

With a weapon by his side this time, he suddenly felt much more confident and said menacingly, "Ruan Qing'an, I've finally caught you. It seems you've been doing quite well these past few days."

"Oh, so you've hooked up with a rich guy and slept with him a few times. Surely you'll be able to pay back the money by now."

The fat man spoke with considerable contempt, and the thugs following behind him laughed, their laughter filled with lewdness.

Ruan Qing'an lowered his eyes, a smile slowly creeping onto his lips: "It's been a few days, and these people's mouths have really gotten worse and worse."

"Drive, I'll handle this."

But Qin Xi replied coldly, looking down at his phone and scrolling through it, seemingly doing something, as he asked, "Which casino?"

Ruan Qingan said, "Jincheng, if I remember correctly, it should be an old casino that opened ten years ago."

At that moment, Qin Xi suddenly placed his hand on the back of her hand, guiding her hand to the steering wheel.

He smiled, but said slowly and deliberately, "Sister, be good and drive."

Qin Xi's voice remained calm, but it subtly revealed a cold and menacing aura that sent chills down one's spine. After a moment of silence, Ruan Qing'an shifted gears and stepped on the gas.

Hearing the roar of the sports car engine and seeing that Ruan Qing'an looked like he was about to run away, the fat man, unafraid of death, stood directly in front of the sports car, displaying the demeanor of a rogue.

The fat man pressed his baton against the hood of the sports car. He didn't dare to smash something as expensive as the car, but he still sneered, "Ruan Qing'an, you're not getting away until you pay me back today!"

"Brothers, let's block this car. Let's see where that bitch can run now!"

The only response to the fat man was the sound of the car window rolling down. Qin Xi tilted his head slightly and stuck his head out of the window. His dog-like eyes curved slightly, and he looked very friendly.

Until the next moment—"You can block the way all you want, but don't damage my car with that stick."

Qin Xi's smile was clean and sunny, with a youthful air, but his words were cold and ruthless: "Just run them over and drive."

Just hearing his voice was enough to make the fat man take several steps back in fright, even though he knew how absurd it was. His eyes were filled with fear and dread as he looked at Qin Xi.

But thinking of the money he owed for so long, the fat man hardened his heart and said, his voice trembling with fear, "Are you guys crazy?! This involves several lives. Let's see if you dare to drive and pay me back!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xi looked at Ruan Qing'an. The two did not speak, but after exchanging a glance, Ruan Qing'an understood his meaning.

The fat man and the thugs behind him blocked the way. Then, accompanied by the sound of tires screeching, the sports car drove straight forward for several meters and came to a stop right in front of them!

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more...

These people were almost scared out of their wits, and they scrambled back several steps. The fat man at the front was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, Qin Xi, looking every bit the spoiled young master, smiled more deeply and asked, "Want to try again, hmm?"

"I'm sorry, but to people like us, your lives are the least valuable thing."

"They're just a few thugs from the slums. Nobody cares whether they live or die. They can be dealt with easily. Where did you get the nerve to stop my car?"

Qin Xi propped his face up with one hand, the dark circles under his eyes making him look even more impatient: "Hey, last thing, get out of here."

"Otherwise—don't let your blood splatter on my car. The Golden City Casino behind you can't afford to pay for it."

This really scared the fat guy and his gang to death. The thugs rushed forward, dragged the fat guy to the side of the road, and apologized to Qin Xi repeatedly.

At this moment, Qin Xi closed the car window, blocking out the faint crying that could be heard from the fat man by the roadside.

Ruan Qingan glanced at them: "What's wrong with them?"

"The boss behind Jincheng sent them to collect these gambling debts. If they can't collect them all, they'll be the ones who suffer."

While scrolling through the messages on her phone, Qin Xi explained, "I just found out the follow-up information. I'll handle the Jincheng Casino matter. Let's go back first."

As the sports car sped up, leaving the city scenery behind, Qin Xi, looking out the window, seemed to still remember the entire night of fun and games.

Through the car window, he looked at Ruan Qing'an's figure driving and her beautiful profile reflected in the glass: "This is the reward for you, sister, for taking me out even though you had all your wages deducted."

"What? Young Master Qin Xi, are you planning to settle things with me?"

"Even if both are settled?"

Qin Xi chuckled softly, saying nothing more, but a smile played on her lips and her eyes softened slightly.

I'm afraid... it will be impossible to calculate in the future.
