Chapter 23: Second Thank You
But for a wild girl who had just been recognized, it would have been fine if she wasn't moved by his attitude, but she actually insulted him in front of him...
"Nie Yao, do you really think that just because you have a backer like Master Li Jiu, you can turn your back on me?"
He narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.
Since Nie Yao doesn't understand the rules of wealthy families, he will let this wild girl see what the real rules of wealthy families are, who can afford to offend them and who can't!
Ji Minghuan made up his mind and stared fiercely at the direction where Nie Yao and Li Jinxing left for a long time before turning around and returning to the banquet.

As soon as they left the back door of the hotel, Nie Yao released Li Jinxing's arm and said to him with a smile, "Thank you so much for what you did just now. Otherwise, I don't know how long that inexplicable Ji Minghuan would have been pestering me..."
Li Jinxing smiled slightly and replied nonchalantly: "This is the second time you've thanked me tonight..."
Nie Yao was stunned for a moment before she burst out laughing. She shrugged and replied helplessly, "It seems so. It was just a banquet, but it caused such a big mess. Without your help, who knows what would have happened!"
"It's just a small favor, but it's far less than the grace you gave me in saving my life!" Li Jinxing shook his head and smiled faintly.
Seeing him speak so easily, Nie Yao couldn't help but laugh. She raised an eyebrow and jokingly said, "So, I just saved you casually, and it was worth it..."
Not only was this man persistent in repaying her kindness, he also helped her resolve several embarrassing problems. And judging by the attitude of the guests at today's banquet, he was quite influential!
"Whether it's worth it or not, you'll slowly find out in the future!" Li Jinxing slowly lowered his head, his gaze gazing deep into her eyes, and whispered word by word in her ear: "Believe me, there will be more benefits..."
The hot breath of his passed by her ear reminded Nie Yao of the time when they were dancing the waltz close together. His big, warm hand was around her waist, but the waist of her dress was hollowed out.
Although his movements during the waltz were not improper, the warmth in her waist seemed to be heated by his palm, slowly spreading throughout her body...
If the dance music hadn't stopped abruptly, she might have almost lost her mind!
Nie Yao calmed herself down and subconsciously took a step back to avoid his breath. She cleared her throat and pretended to smile heartlessly, "Then I'll have to save more people in the future. Who knows, there might be someone I can save among them!"
Without waiting for Li Jinxing to answer, she waved at him and said with a smile: "Anyway, thank you for today, see you again if there is a chance..."
Li Jinxing didn't leave. Instead, he pointed at the dark road in front of him and said with a half-smile, "Are you planning to wait for the bus here?"
Nie Yao nodded happily and answered calmly, "Yes!"
"It's already night, it's not safe for a girl like you to be outside..." Li Jinxing said this, snapped his fingers, and said, "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride!"
Before Nie Yao could refuse, a black car slowly appeared in front of the two of them. The driver took the initiative to open the door and waited for the two to get in.
"Thank you!" Nie Yao did not refuse his kindness this time. She got into his car and told the driver the address of the Nie family.
On the way back to the Nie family's old house, Nie Yao saw Li Jinxing looking at her thoughtfully and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, I thought you didn't want to go back to the Nie family at this time..."
