When Su Ning composed herself and came out, the restaurant was empty.
She knew she had lost her composure; she shouldn't have revealed her emotions in front of Yunxiu's friends.
Su Ning finished tidying up the dining table when the door to the outside room opened. Yun Xiu saw the busy figure in the kitchen and quickly went over to hug her.
"Little darling, are you alright?"
Su Ning pushed her away and lowered her head shyly.
"Brother Ci! There are still people outside!"
He Ci didn't care about anything else and pulled the person into his arms again.
"What's there to be afraid of! Who would dare to object?"
This was the first time the three of them had seen He Ci's affectionate side. At this moment, Qi Yan not only felt his face hurt, but his teeth also ached.
He Ci didn't hold back at all just now, taking two punches to the face and a kick to the stomach. Now, watching the two of them showing affection makes his teeth ache.
He Ci led Su Ning out of the kitchen, and it was clear that she had just been crying.
Qi Yan touched his nose and stepped forward apologetically, "Miss Su, I'm sorry! I spoke without thinking just now, please forgive me."
He Ci felt that he was not sincere, so he kicked Qi Yan's shin.
"You think Xiaoguai will forgive you just like that? Dream on."
Su Ning wanted to say it was nothing, but He Ci squeezed her palm.
"You just picked up that car a couple of days ago, and I think it's great. Consider it an apology!"
Qi Yan was also very generous; he took out his keys and handed them to He Ci.
"I'll have someone take care of the paperwork tomorrow so you can drive it. I haven't driven that car before. If you don't like the color, you can go and change it."
He Ci didn't stand on ceremony at all; he took the key from Qi Yan and handed it to Su Ning.
Su Ning was so frightened that she tried to pull her hand back, but He Ci grabbed it.
"Don't refuse, he's very rich, this car is nothing to him!"
Qi Yan really wanted to say, "You're richer than me, why do you have to take advantage of me?"
Su Ning felt the keys in her hand were a little hot. This was a car, not a bicycle. Even if she were given them, she could only look at them.
He Ci escorted the three of them downstairs, and Xiao Lin patted He Ci on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Aci, are you serious? Have you considered that she might become your weakness?"
He Ci didn't care about anything else. "I will protect her for the rest of my life. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully her."
Xiao Lin didn't know what to say! He could only offer a kind reminder.
"Don't forget who you are. There will come a day when you can't protect her anymore. Have you thought about what will happen to her then?"
He Ci clenched his fist. "Thank you for reminding me. I will get out of this predicament and live a normal life with her then."
Lu Zhou chimed in from time to time, "Easier said than done. Your identity isn't so easy to clear. Your hands are already dirty. The police just don't have the evidence."
After everyone left, He Ci finished a cigarette downstairs and only went upstairs when he no longer smelled of cigarettes.
When Su Ning saw He Ci return, she quickly returned the car keys to him, as they were too valuable for her to handle comfortably.
He Ci looked at the car keys in his hand and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Qi Yan has plenty of money. She spends more money on other women every month than on this car. You can keep it without worry."
Su Ning still refused, saying, "I can't drive, so this is useless to me. You can have it!"
This time, He Ci didn't refuse. Since she didn't want the car, he would give her cash. The car was worth at least 500,000 yuan, and Qi Yan wasn't short of money anyway.
