‘Tang Jingci was eating at Fu Chen’s house, and he was attending to her, so she complimented him a lot.

‘When she found out that he had already established a considerable business at a young age, that he was considerate and took care of Song Fengwan, that he spoke and did things very gentlemanly and appropriately.

‘Tang Jingci was full of praise for him.

Qiao Xiyan lowered his eyes and ate.

What’s so good about a covetous beast who kidnapped a minor?

Not only are her hands clumsy, but her eyesight is also bad!

After dinner, Song Fengwan and Tang Jingci went out for a walk. Only Fu Chen and Qiao Xiyan were in the living room. The TV was broadcasting the news, and the two of them were sitting on two sofas and playing chess.

Shi Fang, sitting at the side, yawned and looked down at his watch.

For an entire hour, neither of them had said a word.

There was only the muffled sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard and the occasional battle between their eyes.

F*ck, not talking?

Don’t they feel suffocated?

They’re both ruthless people.

Then Fu Chen pressed his fingers against a chess piece and moved it forward. “I win.”

Qiao Xiyan’s face instantly darkened. At this moment, as he looked at the entire game, he suddenly realized that Fu Chen had dug a hole for him to jump into from the start. He wasn’t good at strategies, and his chess skills were average, but he wasn’t stupid.

“You deliberately went easy on me?”

Fu Chen smiled and didn’t say anything.

Qiao Xiyan didn’t say anything and turned around to watch TV. Shi Fang walked over and looked at the chessboard. The two sides had fought fiercely and were evenly matched. Third Master had won by a hair, but he knew Fu Chen’s strength.

“Third Master, did you do it?” Shi Fang lowered his voice.

Hmm?”

“Did you…” Shi Fang whispered into his ear. “Did you really go easy?”

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. Shouldn’t he save some face for his brother-in-law and not let him lose too badly?

‘When Song Fengwan and Tang Jingci returned, Qiao Xiyan saw at a glance that a certain someone had changed her phone case.

There were five words written in white on a black background: Lose weight and become rich!

Qiao Xiyan’s lips twitched. Previously, she wanted to get rich overnight. Now, she also wants to lose weight? Can’t she be more realistic?

‘Tang Jingci had been in the capital for almost a week, and her inspection of Duan Linbai was about to come to an end. She planned to buy some specialties and then return home.

She and Song Fengwan had arranged to meet at the hotel entrance at noon on Saturday.

“What time did you arrange to meet?” The hotel restaurant was on the first floor. Tang Jingci and Qiao Xiyan had just finished eating and were sitting in their seats drinking tea.

“One-thirty.”

“Tl take you?”

“Wanwan is familiar with this place, so I won’t trouble you anymore.” Tang Jingci had troubled him for so long, so she definitely had to give him something to express her gratitude before leaving. She secretly sized him up from the corner of her eye. She didn’t know what he liked.

He leaned against his seat and tilted his head to look out the window. His facial features were cold and defined. Perhaps noticing her gaze, he suddenly turned his head. “What are you looking at?”

It was just like being caught red-handed by a teacher during class. Tang Jingci’s heart was pounding. “N-nothing… It’s almost time. I should go.”

She got up and walked to the door. She was so agitated that she almost bumped into the waiter with a serving tray behind her.

“Tm sorry,” she hurriedly apologized.

“No problem.”

Qiao Xiyan saw Song Fengwan getting out of the taxi across the street. He got up and prepared to greet her. The distance between him and Tang Jingci was only about ten steps.

‘Tang Jingci had left in a hurry and didn’t notice that he followed her out. After leaving the hotel, she saw Song Fengwan and even stopped to greet her. “Wanwan…”

“Don’t move. I’ll go over!” There were more cars on the road, so Song Fengwan stood on the sidewalk and waited for a bit.

Suddenly, she saw something hanging down from above. At this moment, there were not many people at the entrance of the hotel. The thing was directly above Tang Jingci and falling rapidly!

“Watch out!” Even if Song Fengwan could run over, she couldn’t make it in time, so she could only warn her loudly.

Tang Jingci frowned. She only saw Song Fengwan pointing above her. When she looked up, her pupils dilated

Someone pulled her back. The heavy object brushed past her clothes and crashed onto the ground.

It was a porcelain bottle. It instantly shattered.

She was panting heavily. Her back was pressed tightly against Qiao Xiyan’s chest, and her entire body was covered in cold sweat.

“Are you alright?” Qiao Xiyan immediately turned her around and sized her up. He even subconsciously looked up. It was all windows, so he couldn’t see anything.

“Tm fine.” Tang Jingci’s fingers subconsciously grabbed Qiao Xiyan’s arm, her expression a little dazed.

The security guards at the entrance of the hotel rushed over to check on the situation. This building belonged to the hotel. If there were any injuries or deaths caused by a falling object, the hotel would be at fault..
