In the end, Xia Nuannuan could only watch helplessly as Qin Wan, Fu Shaoming, and Qin Zhi walked away without a trace of emotion...
When Wen Nanjin rushed to the bar, he only saw Xia Nuannuan sitting on the roadside in a disheveled state.
Upon seeing him, Xia Nuannuan, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face, threw herself into his arms.
"Waaaaah, senior..."
Wen Nanjin originally wanted to ask her a few questions, to see if she was alright, or if she had been bullied.
But seeing Xia Nuannuan's agitated and distraught state, he was forced to swallow all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"It's alright, it's alright. I'm here, and I will never let anyone bully you."
Wen Nanjin gently embraced her, patted her shoulder lightly with his large hand, and uttered words that sounded like a promise.
[Wen Nanjin's conquest progress: 60%]
Inside a black Mercedes not far away, Qin Wan sat in the passenger seat, resting her chin on her hand against the window, watching with great interest the two people embracing tightly in the distance.
"That was truly amazing," Qin Wan exclaimed.
Qin Zhi frowned, his gaze towards Xia Nuannuan filled with disgust.
What exactly is this woman's purpose?
Previously, when he discovered that Xia Nuannuan was the mastermind behind the money-grubbing invitation, he thought that she was driven by love turned to hate and was trying to ruin Qin Wan's image in order to win Wen Nanjin's heart.
But Xia Nuannuan's attitude when she appeared at the bar tonight and begged him and Fu Shaoming for help... was quite incomprehensible.
At that time, that woman was clearly trying to seduce him and Fu Shaoming.
Isn't having Wen Nanjin enough?
Does she perhaps want to possess the beauty of two women at the same time?
Does she even deserve it?
Thinking of this, Qin Zhi seemed to realize something, and his eyes suddenly turned to Qin Wan, urgently asking, "Besides Wen Nanjin, you really have no grudge against this Xia Nuannuan?"
Qin Wan shook her head. "I don't know her."
At this point, Qin Wan paused again, looking at Xia Nuannuan with a strange expression.
"However, she seems to know me..."
"No, I should say that she seems to know not only me, but also you and Fu Shaoming."
"She seemed to know us quite well."
At this point, Qin Wan turned to look at Fu Shaoming and Qin Zhi, "Don't you two know her either?"
Qin Zhi shook his head immediately, "I'm not interested in women."
As soon as he finished speaking, two burning gazes fell on him.
Qin Zhi: "..."
When Qin Zhi met Fu Shaoming and Qin Wan's gossipy gazes, the corner of his mouth twitched violently.
"What I'm saying is, I'm not interested in Xia Nuannuan at all!!!"
Faced with his explanation and emphasis, Qin Wan and Fu Shaoming exchanged a glance and gave him a knowing smile.
Qin Wan: "No explanation needed."
Fu Shaoming: "We all understand."
Qin Zhi: "..." So annoying!!!
In the end, Qin Zhi was so angry that he got out of the car on the spot and slammed the door shut as he left.
Watching Qin Zhi's angry departure, Qin Wan and Fu Shaoming exchanged a glance, both with the same innocent expression.
"Shall I take you home?" Fu Shaoming suggested.
"But I don't have any books or materials related to stock trading at home," Qin Wan said subconsciously.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shaoming paused almost imperceptibly, his eyes flashing rapidly.
"so……"
“I do have a lot of books and materials on financial management at home, but it’s so late, I’m sure I’m worried about you, a girl, coming home with me alone…” Fu Shaoming said, feigning distress.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan quickly waved her hand, "No, I was just afraid of bothering you."
"Really not?" Fu Shaoming seized the opportunity and immediately took advantage of the situation.
"No, really."
"I believe you," Qin Wan quickly explained.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shaoming smiled, a smile that held a profound meaning.
“Okay, then let’s go to my house.” Without waiting for Qin Wan’s objection or refusal, Fu Shaoming started the car, stepped on the gas, and drove towards the Fu family’s location.
The living room of the Fu family home.
Fu Shaoming was very considerate. He prepared tea and snacks for Qin Wan to wait in the living room while he went upstairs to his study to get his notebooks and books.
"Take these books back with you and read them at your leisure. There's no rush."
"You look at the computer first, and I'll give you a brief introduction on how to read the stock market index."
Under the bright lights of the living room, a handsome man and a beautiful woman huddled together intimately, intently watching the content on their computer screen.
Fu Shaoming explained earnestly, and Qin Wan listened attentively and learned diligently. Every now and then, the two would turn around and glance at each other.
Their eyes were clear, but for some reason, in this quiet and deserted living room, there seemed to be a faint, ambiguous atmosphere surrounding them.
Time flies like an arrow, gone in the blink of an eye...
The sudden ringing of a cell phone shattered this brief moment of bliss.
"Hello? Ah-Zhi?"
"Qin Wan! Where are you?"
"It's so late, why haven't you gone home yet?"
"Are you still hanging out with that jerk Fu Shaoming?"
As soon as the call connected, Qin Zhi launched into a barrage of questions.
His tone was unfriendly and his voice was loud. Even without speakerphone, Fu Shaoming, who was sitting next to him, could hear every word he said.
Facing Qin Wan's apologetic gaze, Fu Shaoming smiled gently, "It's nothing."
Qin Zhi: "!!!"
"So you really are with that bastard Fu Shaoming!"
"Qin Wan, can't you use your brain? That Fu Shaoming is obviously up to no good. It's so late, and you two are all alone together. How dare you stay with him?"
"Where are you now? Send me your location and I'll drive over to pick you up right away."
Qin Wan quickly hung up the phone and looked at Fu Shaoming with a face full of apology.
“Ah Zhi didn’t mean anything by it, he just doesn’t trust me. Don’t take it to heart. When we get back later, I will definitely talk to him properly.”
"It's alright, I don't mind." Fu Shaoming smiled gently at her. "He's younger than us, and I've always treated him like a younger brother."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan paused almost imperceptibly.
My younger brother?
Their eyes met...
Fu Shaoming's gaze was tender and intense, making Qin Wan's heart flutter, and she hurriedly looked away.
"You...you know?" Qin Wan asked softly.
"Um."
Although she asked a vague question, Fu Shaoming seemed to understand her meaning perfectly, as if they were telepathically connected.
"The Fu family and the Qin family don't have much contact, but they do know that Qin Zhi has an older sister named Qin. They didn't think much of it before."
"It wasn't until later, when I saw how much Qin Zhi protected you, even going so far as to give you such an expensive bag, that I started to think about it more."
At this point, Fu Shaoming looked at Qin Wan apologetically, "I overstepped my bounds by having someone investigate your relationship with Qin Zhi without your consent, and I apologize to you for that."
"It's alright," Qin Wan waved her hand to indicate that she didn't mind.
"There's nothing shameful about my relationship with Qin Zhi, so you don't need to apologize."
"Moreover, we both share the surname Qin, and we are very close. Anyone with eyes can see that something is amiss."
"For a family like ours, it's normal to ask around and do some research."
Looking at Qin Wan, who was so gentle, considerate, and understanding, Fu Shaoming's heart stirred, and he suddenly uttered something astonishing...
"That……"
