Chapter 40 A Grand gesture



At nine o'clock on Sunday morning, the pale golden sunlight streamed through the glass windows, making the entire villa bright and spacious.

Fang Zhi changed his clothes and stood in the dressing room to tidy himself up.

Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down her back. She wore a soft, comfortable beige T-shirt and light-colored jeans, white sneakers, and a beige crossbody bag.

The serene and beautiful face in the mirror, combined with her outfit, exuded a youthful and vibrant aura.

After confirming that everything was in order, she took the gift box that Qi Shen had given her the night before and went downstairs from her bedroom.

In the living room on the first floor, Qi Shen heard light footsteps coming from the stairs and looked up, phone in hand.

The simplest of clothes perfectly showcased the girl's exquisite curves. The T-shirt was stretched taut, highlighting her full and rounded figure, but then dropped a section at her waist, revealing just how slender her waist was—almost as thin as a handful. The skinny jeans accentuated the girl's straight and long legs.

For a moment, it was hard to take your eyes off her.

Qi Shen's eyebrows twitched slightly as he watched Fang Zhi walk towards him without making a sound. A hint of displeasure flashed quickly in his deep, dark eyes behind his glasses.

Fang Zhi stood in front of him, her head slightly lowered, her eyes fixed on the ground. Because she wasn't looking at him, her senses became more acute, and she could feel the faint chill emanating from the man.

She wondered if she had upset him, or if he was having work troubles.

Fang Zhi had a guess in her heart, but she didn't ask. Instead, she said softly, "Brother can go now."

Looking down at the girl's head, Qi Shen remained silent.

He knew in his heart that there was nothing wrong with the clothes the girl was wearing. It was because she was naturally beautiful that ordinary clothes on her gave off a pure and transparent allure.

It arouses in people a desire to destroy and possess.

The thought of her going out like this and being seen by other people, including men, was unbearable for Qi Shen.

Fang Zhi waited quietly for a while, but when she didn't hear a reply from the man, she looked up.

Their eyes met.

Qi Shen stared at the girl's clear, bright eyes with a calm expression, thinking to himself, "Oh well, it's just one chance to go out with a friend anyway."

He put his phone away and gave a faint "hmm".

......

Because it was a weekend, the bustling city center of Haicheng was especially lively, with heavy traffic and crowds of people.

After being stuck in traffic for a while, the Bentley drove to a high-end residential area located on the First Ring Road and stopped.

Fang Zhi unbuckled her seatbelt, glanced at the refined and elegant man in the driver's seat, and said, "Brother, I'm leaving."

"Um."

Fang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to push open the door to get out of the car when Qi Shen grabbed his arm and looked back at him.

The man's handsome face was radiant with a gentle smile as he gazed intently at her, his voice soft, "Zhizhi, your brother will pick you up at five o'clock. Don't wander off."

Fang Zhi was taken aback. Those dark eyes seemed to see right through her thoughts, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Her heart started pounding, and she mumbled a reply, "I know, brother."

Looking at the girl's gentle and pretty face, Qi Shen's thin lips curled up slightly as he released her hand. "Go."

Fang Zhi opened the car door, and when she stood on the ground, she secretly glanced at the man inside the car to make sure there was nothing wrong before closing the door and turning to walk towards the residential area.

The electric perforated gate at the entrance of the residential area was closed.

Fang Zhigang was stopped by someone when he reached the security post.

The security guard looked at her and asked, "Hello, are you a resident? Don't you have your access card?"

“No.” Fang Zhi shook his head. “My classmate lives in apartment 1206 of building 5. She invited me to her home.”

"Please wait a moment while I verify."

"Um."

The security guard pulled up the computer to check the resident's reservation records, and Fang Zhi took the opportunity to glance back.

The Bentley didn't leave; it was still parked in the same spot.

Only through the distance and a car window can you see what the people inside the car are doing.

From inside the car, the view outside is crystal clear.

Through the passenger window, Qi Shen gazed intently at the beautiful figure in the distance who had just finished talking with the security guard and was now looking towards the car.

A moment later, he took out his phone and made a call, which was quickly answered.

Qi Shen parted his thin lips slightly, slowly announcing the name of the neighborhood, his voice gentle and calm, "Find two people to watch over your young lady."

The person on the other end of the phone asked something.

Qi Shen lowered his eyes, his long, slender fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel. "Don't stop them if they want to go out. Follow them and send me their last location."

Just as Fang Zhi was wondering why her brother hadn't left yet, the security guard poked his head out, interrupting her thoughts, "I've verified your identity. I'll open the door for you now. Please come in."

She nodded and said gently, "Thank you."

The electric gate slowly opened a crack, and only then did I realize that when I went inside and looked back, the Bentley had already driven far away.

......

Liu Siyi's home is a large single-level apartment with a combined living room and dining room decorated in a light luxury style with a gray tone.

The long dining table was laden with a sumptuous meal, with an elaborately decorated cake placed in the center.

Liu Siyi's brother went out on a date early in the morning, and Liu's parents also left after entertaining Liu Siyi's classmates, leaving only seven classmates of similar age at home.

A girl clenched her fist and held it to her mouth like a microphone, shouting, "Congratulations to our classmate Liu Siyi!"

The others chimed in, "Happy 18th birthday!"

"Wishing Liu Siyi all the best in her adulthood!"

"Eat your fill, drink your fill, and be surrounded by handsome men!"

The atmosphere was lively and joyful, and Fang Zhi was also drawn into it, a smile always on his fair face, his lips never drooping.

The birthday boy, wearing a birthday hat, said, "Haha, thank you everyone for coming today. When I go abroad to study and come back to China for vacation, I will bring you all some local specialties."
