Suqing's face flushed red, but her heart felt joyful.
This Xiali car still looked about 70% new and driving it wouldn't be embarrassing at all. She felt much more at ease riding in this car compared to the BMW.
No matter how nice the BMW was, it still felt unfamiliar. But this Xiali had a warm, familiar feeling to her.
Chenyang politely opened the car door for Suqing before getting into the driver's seat himself.
When they arrived home, Suqing saw the ingredients prepared in the house, everything looked like a small family home. In that moment, Suqing's eyes turned red.
Chenyang had wanted to surprise Suqing, but he didn't expect her to react this way. He felt a bit flustered and said stammering, "Sister Qing, did I do something wrong? Don't be angry!"
However, Suqing turned and hugged Chenyang tightly.
Chenyang embraced Suqing's soft waist, feeling her soft plush rabbit-like curves, and his heart instantly became excited.
This feeling was truly wonderfully sublime!
Suqing felt that this evening scene had the warm beauty of home. She didn't know how long it had been since she last experienced the feeling of home.
From the year she impulsively got married, it was as if she had entered hell.
Until now, she had been struggling to survive alone in this city, without relying on anyone. She stubbornly insisted on maintaining her dignity.
Initially, she had an unpleasant falling out with her parents. But the fact was she had chosen the wrong person, so she felt she had no face to see her parents.
After a long while, Suqing came back to her senses. Her eyes were red as she turned away, not letting Chenyang see.
Then she said, "Chenyang, you go tidy up the house, I'll cook the meal. We can eat dinner soon."
Chenyang responded with an "Okay" and went out.
He felt that Suqing was touched by his actions, so he was very happy.
This dinner was eaten with extreme pleasure. After eating, Chenyang wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Suqing didn't allow it.
Ah, she really is a virtuous young lady.
Chenyang couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
After the meal, Chenyang lingered at Suqing's house, unwilling to leave. After Suqing finished cleaning up, she also sat down.
The two chatted casually, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Chenyang could feel Suqing gradually accepting him, which was a good start.
However, Chenyang also knew he couldn't be too rushed, so he took the initiative to excuse himself to leave.
Suqing didn't try to stop him either, seeing him off as he left.
At 10pm that night, Suqing went to take a shower as usual.
Chenyang excitedly peeked, gazing at her beautiful figure in the bathroom. But in his heart, he was thinking that he was getting closer and closer to his goal.
One day, he wouldn't need to peek anymore, but could truly embrace Sister Qing and make her his woman.
That feeling would surely be the most wonderful.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Early morning, the weather was sunny and clear.
Duyan called first. This guy said in an eerie tone over the phone, "10am, Jiayu Fencing Club, my master is waiting for you."
Chenyang lazily replied, "Alright alright, your dad knows, you can go now." And he hung up.
This really pissed off Duyan, though he was helpless.
Chenyang then got up and washed up. Suqing also got up around this time, and when they saw each other they smiled warmly, the atmosphere tender and pleasant.
Originally Chenyang had planned to drive Suqing to work after washing up. Suqing's job rarely gave her days off and the pay was low - it was quite miserable.
Just as the two were about to leave, a Porsche pulled up outside.
Then Xu Qing, one of Mu Jing's bodyguards, got out of the car.
Xu Qing was a stern and solemn man with an imposing aura.
Seeing such a luxurious car suddenly stop, and Xu Qing coming towards Chenyang, made Suqing feel a bit afraid and flustered.
"He's a friend," Chenyang noticed Suqing's tension and gently squeezed her jade-like hand to reassure her.
Hearing this, Suqing calmed down.
Then, Suqing witnessed another scene that surprised her.
Xu Qing came before Chenyang and spoke with utmost respect, "Mr. Chen, Sister Jing has sent me to pick you up."
Chenyang smiled faintly and said, "Miss Mu is being too courteous."
Xu Qing smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, Sister Jing said we need to present an imposing manner. Otherwise, we may be looked down upon."
Chenyang then understood that Mu Jing was truly considering things for his sake, so he no longer refused, saying "Alright then." He then took Suqing's hand and said, "Let me send you to work first."
Suqing's face instantly flushed red when Chenyang held her hand. She wanted to struggle free but was also reluctant, her heart filled with conflict.
However, Chenyang directly led Suqing into the Porsche.
Xu Qing also got into the driver's seat and started driving.
Chenyang asked Xu Qing to go to the phone store in Guangbutun first. Xu Qing acknowledged with an "okay."
After the car started moving, Chenyang reluctantly let go of Suqing's hand. The feeling of her softness lingered.
"Are you going for a duel with someone today?" Suqing suddenly asked.
Although Chenyang hadn't said anything directly, Suqing had guessed the reason from the subtle hints.
Chenyang grinned and said, "Something like that. But I know my limits."
Suqing mustered her courage and said, "Can I come with you too?"
Chenyang said, "But what about your work?"
Suqing replied, "I can take a day off, or just not show up."
Seeing Suqing's insistence, Chenyang could only agree.
Suqing immediately called to request a day off, but the female manager on the other end was very unpleasant, directly saying if Suqing didn't come in she would be fired without pay.
That middle-aged female manager was shrewish and acerbic.
Suqing couldn't help feeling a bit awkward, as the middle-aged woman's voice was so loud that even Xu Qing and Chenyang could hear some of it.
"Give me the phone," Chenyang stretched out his hand.
Suqing was stunned as Chenyang smoothly took the phone from her hand.
On the other end, the female manager was still ranting non-stop. Chenyang coldly said, "Shut up!"
Those two icy words "shut up" contained a chilling killing intent.
The female manager was instantly frightened into silence.
Chenyang then said, "Have my Qing's wages ready tomorrow, I'll come collect them. If you dare not give them, I'll rip your mouth apart." After saying that, he hung up.
Suqing's heart felt warmth - it was such a wonderful feeling to have the support of a man.
Mu Jing was waiting for Chenyang in front of the teahouse.
Six luxurious Jaguar sedans were parked in front, a uniform display of regal vehicles.
The sleek and flowing lines of the Jaguar bodies were absolutely perfect, and the baked enamel exuded nobility.
This scene had quite an impactful presence.
A large man in a black shirt stood imposingly next to each Jaguar.
Seeing this scene, Suqing couldn't help but feel timid. Fortunately, Chenyang immediately took her hand, allowing her to regain some composure.
At the same time, Suqing became aware of an overarching solemnity.
She had originally thought this duel would be fairly casual and small in scale. But when she saw this imposing arrangement, she realized it was likely no trivial matter. Deep down, Suqing couldn't help but worry for Chenyang's sake. Thinking this, she turned to look at him.
However, Chenyang appeared calm and at ease. He led Suqing over to Mu Jing, grinning as he said, "Sister Mu, you've really put on quite the gangster-like show here!"
Mu Jing wore a black fit outfit that made her look vigorously dashing. Combined with her powerful aura, it gave her a commanding presence that inspired deference.
Mu Jing gave a light smile, but looked towards Suqing and said, "Aren't you going to introduce the lady by your side?"
Chenyang smiled slightly and said, "My friend, Suqing."
Feeling shy, Suqing withdrew her hand. She nodded a greeting to Mu Jing and said, "Hello."
Mu Jing then extended her hand, "Miss Su, hello."
The two shook hands briefly before separating.
Mu Jing then said to Chenyang, "This time, several great masters have come. The Luo Ren side has amassed quite a formidable force. If you appear weak, they won't take your words seriously. How can you expect to put a permanent end to the secular disciples of Shaolin monastery's harassment of you?"
Chenyang understood this principle - if one lacks sufficient clout, no one will take their words seriously. To resolve this Shaolin issue once and for all, he needed to demonstrate formidable backing on his side.
Mu Jing had considered this thoroughly.
Chenyang smiled and cupped his hands, "Many thanks!"
Mu Jing didn't say more, simply stating, "Let's get in the cars."
Everyone got into the vehicles one by one.
Suqing and Chenyang rode in one car, while Mu Jing took another alone.
Then the caravan departed.
The large man in black driving Suqing and Chenyang's car was calm and taciturn.
Suqing felt a bit tense and looked at Chenyang. He also looked back at her.
Suqing said, "You really won't be in any danger, right?"
Chenyang smiled, "Of course not."
Suqing's heart settled somewhat upon hearing this.
Suddenly Chenyang said, "But I've heard that a woman's kiss can bring a man good luck. Since we're friends, could you bless me and wish me some luck?"
Suqing's face instantly turned beet red. How could she possibly do such a thing?
The large man driving the car couldn't help showing an awkward expression when he heard this. Chenyang really knew no shame, hitting on a girl at a time like this.
Chenyang immediately regretted taking it too far with the joke and said, "Ah nevermind, I'll just wish for fortune myself."
Suqing turned to look away, not saying anything.
Chenyang felt he had really gone overboard with the joke and hurriedly said, "Sister Qing, I was just kidding, don't be angry!"
Suqing gave him a coy rebuke, "Who jokes around like that?"
The Jiayu Fencing Club was in lockdown mode today, not receiving any outside guests or members.
Luo Ren's group had arrived earlier and were currently resting inside the clubhouse.
When Chenyang's group arrived, it did cause a small commotion.
Of course, Tang Qingqing, Lin Qingxue, and Huo Lei were also present, having been waiting outside for Chenyang's arrival.
When the three ladies saw the line of luxurious cars and Chenyang getting out with Suqing, their expressions became somewhat awkward.
"Chenyang!" Lin Qingxue and Tang Qingqing came forward to greet him first.
The two women wore beautiful dresses that revealed their exquisite collarbones, looking extremely beautiful.
Lin Qingxue called out, but then didn't know what to say for a moment.
Tang Qingqing looked at him with a complicated gaze and said, "Chenyang, if you win today, I will apologize to you."
She had endured much torment these past few days as well.
