Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 140 Interception
"Musa!" Qian Xingjie tried to stop her again.

Musa said with a mixture of helplessness and satisfaction, "This is Miss Ke'er's order, and no one can disobey it. If you want to show her some chivalry, go talk to her!"

As she spoke, she used the tip of her knife to pry open Nan Wu's collar and pressed it against her collarbone. "I'm sorry, Su Ying, but you only have yourself to blame for offending our Miss Ke'er!"

Just as they were about to push it in, there was a loud bang as the door was kicked open, and six or seven men in black uniforms rushed in...

A private room in a restaurant.

A tall, long-legged man stood facing the window, surrounded by the lights of countless homes. His handsome face was reflected in the glass, his eyes cold and his aura icy.

"Brother Shen, Miss Ke'er has arrived!"

"Brother Shen!" Qian Ke'er followed in, her voice gentle and sweet.

Xiao Shen turned around, his face expressionless. "You're here? Sit down!"

Qian Ke'er walked around and sat down next to him. Her father had said that although she shouldn't be too proactive or enthusiastic, she should learn to create opportunities for the other person to understand her better and see her strengths, so that they could fall in love with her.

"Brother Shen, why did you suddenly invite me to dinner? Didn't we just meet yesterday?"

Xiao Shen raised an eyelid and glanced at her coldly. "What? So you don't want to eat?"

Qian Ke'er hurriedly explained, "What do you mean? I wish I could eat with Brother Shen every day. It's just... it's such a surprise. You've never asked me out before, so why this time..."

Xiao Shen tossed the menu to Song Hao, indicating that the food could be served. Instead of directly answering Qian Ke'er's question, he changed the subject, saying, "We ordered this restaurant's signature dish. Why don't you try it!"

Qian Ke'er didn't hear what Xiao Shen was saying, as she was focused on admiring the man she liked. Suddenly, a cell phone rang, breaking the tranquility of the moment.

Qian Ke'er frowned in annoyance. Honestly, what a bunch of clueless people. Why did they have to make a call at this crucial moment to ruin her good time?

"Aren't you going to answer?" Xiao Shen reminded Qian Ke'er when she turned her phone face down.

"Don't worry about them, Brother Shen, let's eat!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the bell rang again.

Qian Ke'er couldn't take it anymore. She picked up her phone and walked to the side, saying, "What's going on? Are you doing this on purpose...?"

"What? You, you said Su Ying was rescued by a group of people?" Qian Ke'er was shocked. Realizing Xiao Shen was there, she belatedly moved away, covered her phone, and lowered her voice, "Do you know who did it?"

After a while, Qian Ke'er returned with a preoccupied look on her face.

Xiao Shen feigned concern, "What happened?"

Qian Ke'er snapped out of her daze, hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Shen, what kind of dish is this? It looks good, it looks delicious..."

Since what's done is done, even if she rushes back now, it won't change anything. She might as well have a proper date with Brother Shen. It's a rare opportunity, and she doesn't want to miss it.

After a while, all the dishes were served.

Qian Ke'er personally served food to Xiao Shen, saying, "Brother Shen, you're so busy with work, you have to take care of yourself. Here, eat more, you and I..."

Xiao Shen's phone beeped. He swiped to scan it, and his slightly furrowed brows relaxed noticeably. The next second, he pushed Qian Ke'er's hand away.

"I have something urgent to take care of, you eat first!" he said, getting up and leaving.

Even after realizing what was happening, Qian Ke'er remained understanding, "It's okay, Brother Shen, I'll wait for you..."

"Don't wait for me!"

"Brother Shen, Brother Shen..." Qian Ke'er chased after him, but Xiao Shen's car had already driven far away.

She returned to the private room with heavy steps, and looking at the table full of dishes, it seemed like the greatest irony to her.

I thought he had changed his attitude towards me, but it turned out that it was all just my wishful thinking.

Xiao Shenren couldn't be stopped, and Su Ying also ran away. Qian Ke'er was so angry that she overturned the table... On the other side.

"What did Ke'er say?"

Musa directed her servants to clean up the scene, saying, "I was on a date with Fourth Master Xiao, how could I have time to come back!"

Qian Xingjie sneered, "See? Between revenge and love, she still chose the latter!"

Musa slowly turned around, glaring at him with a questioning expression.

Qian Xingjie suddenly felt guilty. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You were the one who tipped off Master Xiao, weren't you?"

Qian Xingjie feigned composure, "What are you talking about? Who tipped me off? Don't wrong me, okay?"

Mu Sha was too lazy to watch him pretend. "Young Master, do you know what would happen if Miss Ke'er found out about this..."

“Miss Ke’er, Miss Ke’er, you’re always calling yourself Miss Ke’er. Do you really think I’m afraid of her?” Qian Xingjie patted his chest. “Why did I do this? Wasn’t it all for her? If she really killed Su Ying, how would she explain it to the Xiao family? She even dared to dream of marrying Xiao Shen. Do you think that’s possible? She’s a brainless idiot, only caring about her own pleasure and completely disregarding everything else. Others have to clean up her mess! If it weren’t for me, you could just wait and see her get dumped by Xiao Shen!”

Musa's lips moved, but she did not refute.

……

"Ouch...it hurts, doctor, please be gentle!" The knife wound on Nan Wu's neck looked small, but it was actually quite deep.

Despite the female doctor's carefulness, she still hurt.

From the moment the bodyguards stormed into Qian Ke'er's territory, Nan Wu guessed that they might be Xiao Shen's men.

In her eyes, Xiao Shen was like a god, always able to descend from the sky and save people from dire straits, and this time was no exception.

Sure enough, Song Hao's appearance proved her guess correct.

She guessed that Qian Xingjie might have secretly reported her to Xiao Shen, which was how she was rescued.

It was a close call; she almost died at Qian Ke'er's hands. But having survived such a calamity, she was bound to have good fortune. Her direct confrontation with Qian Ke'er had only just begun, and she believed she would be the winner.

"Fourth Master!"

"Fourth Master!"

Nan Wu turned around upon hearing the sound.

As the bodyguard opened the door to both sides, a pair of long legs came into view first.

The man exuded an aura of power, like a king arriving, walking with a commanding presence, his trousers perfectly straight and without a single wrinkle.

His face was like a masterpiece of God, driving women crazy and making men jealous.

Without pausing, he took the sterilization tools from the female doctor's hand and said, "You can go now, I'll do it!"

After everyone took their leave, Song Hao tactfully closed the door, leaving them alone.

Xiao Shen grabbed the medicine bowl soaked in disinfectant with one hand and held Nan Wu's neck with the other.

He usually has a cunning and mysterious appearance, so no one would have imagined that his movements would be so gentle at this moment.

The liquid stung a little and felt cool when applied to the wound, and Nanwu went from tense to relaxed.

She looked at that silent face, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"How did you offend Qian Ke'er?"

The man didn't raise his head or look up; his voice was deep, cold, and magnetic.
