After dinner
Gu Jueye originally intended to personally escort Bai Qianmo home.
I received a phone call unexpectedly.
He didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but his handsome face darkened slightly.
"Okay, I'll head over right away."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jueye looked at Bai Qianmo apologetically.
“Miss Bai, I’m sorry, but I have something to take care of. If you don’t mind, Ji Cong’an can take you home.”
Bai Qianmo nodded: "Don't worry about me, you go ahead and do your work."
This phone call came just what she wanted.
She was already thinking about how to refuse Gu Jueye's offer to give her a ride.
Gu Jueye glanced at Bai Qianmo, seemingly understanding her thoughts, and his eyes darkened.
He didn't speak.
After a few seconds of pause, his clear eyes glanced at Ji Cong'an and said, "Please make sure Miss Bai gets home safely for me."
Ji Cong'an sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, smiled with narrowed eyes, and said, "You can rest assured about what I do."
Gu Jueye frowned slightly, thinking to himself: It's precisely because it's you that I'm not at ease.
If he hadn't had an urgent matter to attend to, and Yuan You hadn't yet obtained his domestic driver's license, he definitely wouldn't have let Ji Cong'an take Bai Qianmo back.
Still worried, he gave Bai Qianmo a few more instructions.
The phone rang again, sounding urgent.
Gu Jueye had no choice but to leave first.
On the road
Bai Qianmo's eyes were slightly closed, as if she were half asleep.
He didn't seem inclined to speak to Ji Cong'an the whole way.
Ji Cong'an glanced at Bai Qianmo furtively and coughed softly.
"Miss Bai, your braised beef was delicious! Where did you learn to make it?"
Her eyelids trembled slightly, and Bai Qianmo slowly opened her eyes, pursing her rosy lips.
His gaze drifted far away to the window.
I learned it from a friend.
With his peach blossom eyes narrowed, Ji Cong'an gave a knowing twitch of his lips.
Did you learn it from a friend?
This "friend" must be Sir Alex Ferguson, right?
Sister-in-law, you're even better at pretending than the Duke.
What he couldn't understand was why his sister-in-law pretended not to know the Duke when she clearly did.
After much deliberation, Ji Cong'an finally arrived at the following conclusion based on his brain capacity.
The young woman was probably afraid of the Duke's revenge, so she would rather pretend not to know him than admit that she was the Duke's ex-girlfriend!
Yes, that must be it!
The car was halfway there
A very cheesy Cantonese song started playing in the quiet car.
It's probably the kind of reckless arrogance that young people have when they're obsessed with gangster movies.
Ji Cong'an picked up his phone, pressed the answer button, and the music stopped abruptly.
"Hello?"
A series of anxious cries came from the other end.
"Young Master An, please come to the club immediately! Our people have been assaulted!"
"Who the hell dares to touch my people?" Ji Cong'an's veins bulged.
If they weren't in the car, given his volatile temper, he probably would have jumped three feet high on the spot.
"Yes... Hey, stop fighting! If you keep fighting, someone will die." It seemed like there was an emergency on the other end, and they didn't have time to explain to Ji Cong'an.
From the phone, you could hear bursts of criticism and loud noise.
"grass!"
After uttering a curse, Ji Cong'an hung up the phone, his face unusually gloomy.
Bai Qianmo glanced at Ji Cong'an indifferently.
From the moment she met Ji Cong'an, in her eyes, Ji Cong'an had always been a carefree and irresponsible person.
This was the first time I had ever seen him exude such a cold and icy aura.
"Miss Bai..."
Ji Cong'an tugged at his collar in frustration, unsure how to begin.
He had promised the lord he would safely escort his sister-in-law home, but now he was facing a very difficult situation.
"Go and solve your problem first."
"Huh?" Ji Cong'an was stunned.
Actually, what he meant was that he wanted to park on the side of the road so that Bai Qianmo could take a taxi home by herself.
But I don't know how to bring it up.
Bai Qianmo glanced at Ji Cong'an and said, "After you've dealt with your troubles, take me home!"
"You're going too? But..." That place doesn't seem quite suitable right now.
If the Duke finds out that he took his sister-in-law to fight, wouldn't the Duke kill him?
"Miss Bai, why don't you take a taxi?"
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow and gave Ji Cong'an a half-smile.
“I’m not good at lying. If Mr. Gu asks, I will probably answer truthfully.”
He swore he would definitely get her back safely.
“Okay, let’s go together!” Ji Cong’an immediately nodded in agreement.
As expected of the person the Duke has taken a liking to, just like the Duke, cunning and ruthless!
Bai Qianmo closed her clear eyes slightly and continued to rest.
Although she had never met Ji Cong'an, she had heard a lot about his deeds.
Rebellious since childhood, a late-stage case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
If her father weren't Ji Yeting, do you think she would meddle in other people's business?
KN Club
The letter "K" comes from the internet slang terms "打" (dǎ) and "打" (dǎ).
As the name suggests, "KN" means to hit you or beat you up.
This is a taekwondo club located in the city center.
The members inside are all rich kids who like to run wild here when they have nothing to do.
Because of the high entry requirements, KN is not well-known in Beijing and is only occasionally heard of in high society circles.
Ji Cong'an is the president of KN Club and also the behind-the-scenes owner of this club.
He usually idles away his time, but he is particularly interested in the KN club.
It may be related to his own passion for Taekwondo, so he devoted all his energy to it in his spare time.
When Ji Cong'an and Bai Qianmo arrived at the club.
