Quan Xiaoyi laughed awkwardly, pretending to be a male chauvinist, and said indifferently: "Why are you thanking me? Isn't this what I should do?"
He suddenly thought of something and looked at Shen Qingqing with a worried look on his face: "The Xiao family still needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. Send them all in, otherwise they will threaten you all the time."
His identity is rather special. As a soldier, he cannot appear in front of Shen Qingqing anytime and anywhere, and cannot protect her like he does now.
If he has to go on a mission, he won't be able to stay by her side. What if those people come to bully her again?
Shen Qingqing nodded in agreement, her eyes full of disappointment. She thought that those people were her relatives after all, and that they should be grateful that the Si and Shen families did not hold them accountable. However, she did not expect that they would go even further!
"That's what I think too. I finally have a peaceful life and don't want to be disturbed by them."
She is not a saint who will forgive them again and again.
Seeing Shen Qingqing so determined, Quan Xiaoyi was relieved: "Then let me handle this matter."
"Thank you for your help." Shen Qingqing did not refuse, but accepted it with pleasure.
Quan Xiaoyi took a look at the mess in the store and said, "Let me take you home first. Your employees will clean up here. If you need anything, I'll arrange for someone to bring it to you."
Shen Qingqing: "Thank you."
Quan Xiaoyi didn't say much and took his people away. He naturally opened the passenger door and motioned Shen Qingqing to get in.
When Shen Qingqing returned home, she was immediately surrounded by Shen Yaning. She looked worried: "Are you okay? Did the Xiao family do anything to you?"
Shen Qingqing shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just that the loss to the store is a bit big."
Shen Yaning was relieved: "It doesn't matter, as long as the person is fine."
She looked at Quan Xiaoyi with interest, her tone full of gossip: "You are so fast!"
Quan Xiaoyi kept winking at Shen Yaning. He was worried that his sister-in-law would reveal his thoughts if she continued to talk.
"We are all family, isn't it our duty to help each other?"
He spoke in a very righteous manner, as if he would help anyone in need.
Shen Qingqing's face, which was originally smiling, immediately became serious.
It turns out that in his heart, everyone is the same. If anyone encounters difficulties today, will he do the same?
But come to think of it, he is a soldier and it seems like this is his responsibility.
I just feel a little uncomfortable. Why?
Shen Yaning naturally saw through Quan Xiaoyi’s thoughts and couldn’t help rolling her eyes in her heart.
We are all family, what else is there to do?
I feel like my sister has different feelings towards Quan Xiaoyi.
I guess he really loves her, but... this "we're all family" thing is really hurtful. In his heart, his sister is not the most special person, so who would continue to love her?
Shen Yaning kindly helped Quan Xiaoyi: "Sister, don't listen to her. When Sister Li called me, we were discussing things together. When he knew you were in trouble, Quan Xiaoyi rushed out directly and was extremely nervous. Although I shook people, my speed was not as fast as his."
That was the first time she had seen someone crying and begging for a chance to perform, and then not forgetting to call others.
For a moment, she was useless.
There was no other way, she could only wait for good news from Quan Xiaoyi.
She couldn't help but teasing Quan Xiaoyi: "I dare to guarantee that even if Brother Bo and Han Ting were in trouble, Quan Xiaoyi wouldn't be so fast."
Shen Qingqing was very surprised, and seemed to be trying to figure out whether what Ning Ning said was true. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Quan Xiaoyi's embarrassed face.
He looked at Shen Yaning with a 'begging for mercy' expression, and Shen Yaning just shrugged... Then let's not talk about it.
But it was obvious that Shen Qingqing's expression changed, becoming brighter, with a hint of smile in her eyes.
Seeing Shen Qingqing happy, Shen Yaning felt that she shouldn't stay here anymore, so she found an excuse to leave.
Shen Qingqing and Quan Xiaoyi were the only ones left in the living room.
Quan Xiaoyi's feelings were exposed by Shen Yaning. He was like a fool, not knowing what to say. He just stammered: "You... were... also frightened today. Rest well first. Don't worry, I will make them pay the price."
Shen Qingqing nodded slightly. Her hesitant look made Quan Xiaoyi curious: "Do you have something to say to me?"
"you....."
Shen Qingqing felt a little embarrassed. What if she misunderstood? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?!
"Quan Xiaoyi, do you... do you like me?!" It was not nice to be so timid. Although she was emotionally slow, she was not a fool. She naturally knew what Quan Xiaoyi meant and why Ning Ning's explanation was for.
She has no intention of enjoying the pursuit of others, nor is she interested in wasting other people's time. If they can make it clear early on, she would rather have a frank talk with them... At least for now, she has no intention of falling in love with others.
Quan Xiaoyi didn't expect Shen Qingqing to be so straightforward, which made him a little overwhelmed: "Yes, I like you, but liking you is my business, you don't have to feel troubled, I won't bother you."
Shen Qingqing: “…”
What does this person mean? Does it mean that liking someone is a personal thing?
"Don't feel embarrassed. I have no purpose in doing anything. If I really have a purpose, it's to get close to you. Nothing else... Can you understand?" Quan Xiaoyi hurriedly explained: "Just don't find me annoying..."
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but frown. She didn't understand a word the man said.
"I....."
"Listen!" Shen Qingqing interrupted Quan Xiaoyi directly: "Can you let me say a few words first?"
Quan Xiaoyi nodded slightly: "You say."
"I want to say that I'm not sure how I feel about you. I can't tell whether I like you or not. It's very complicated. If you're willing, you can wait until I figure it out. If you fall in love with someone else during this time, that's fine too..."
Quan Xiaoyi suddenly took two steps forward and whispered, "Am I such a philandering man in your eyes?"
Doesn't it take time to fall in love with a girl? Falling in love at first sight means being attracted by her beauty, right? But he is not that kind of person.
Shen Qingqing: “….”
She didn't know why she said that. She forgot that when guys at school pursued her in the past, she always rejected them directly. If she really couldn't refuse, she would ask her mother for help... But now facing Quan Xiaoyi, she didn't seem to want to do that.
"Well...can we talk about this later? I'm a little sleepy and want to go upstairs to rest."
Shen Qingqing almost fled the scene, leaving Quan Xiaoyi laughing foolishly downstairs...
