Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 298 Not Qualified to Be an Opponent

Half an hour later, Su Ying was taken by Qian Xingjie to a private apartment.

“This is under my personal name. Even my father doesn’t know about it. I originally invested it for fun, but I never expected it to come in handy. You can stay here for now!”

As Qian Xingjie was explaining, he turned around and found Su Ying still standing at the door.

"Come in. We agreed you'd give it to me later, so to keep things fresh, I won't touch you for now!"

Hearing Qian Xingjie say this, Su Ying lowered her guard.

She's already at her wit's end; what other options does she have?
After explaining a few things, Qian Xingjie reminded her repeatedly before leaving, "Don't forget what you promised me!" Su Ying felt a chill.

Let Qian Xingjie send her out of Ningcheng first, there's no rush.

At the same time, Haicheng.

Ever since the bar was burned down, Su Wen's career has been in a slump at home. She spends her days either sleeping or playing games, and she doesn't cook. She says she would cook when she's home, but when she comes back, the table is full of takeout boxes.

That day, Qingyan finally couldn't hold back and exploded. After Su Wen tried to take the phone away several times without success, she snatched it away in a fit of anger and threw it far away.

"What are you doing?" Su Wen asked angrily.

With his hands on his hips, Qingyan, despite being a grown man, wasn't afraid at all. "What are you talking about? All you do at home is eat, sleep, fight, and then eat again. You're living like a monster. Is that any fun?"

Su Wen waved his hand impatiently, "Whether I'm interested or not is my business, it's none of your concern!"

"Since Su Ying isn't here, I'm the one who has to take care of you. If I just stand by and watch you behave like this, how am I supposed to explain this when she comes back?"

"You..." Su Wen was speechless, "Alright, alright, I'm not playing anymore!"

"Then you go cook!"

"will not!"

"Go online and look for jobs!"

"None of them are suitable for me!"

Let's go for a walk!

"What's the point of walking around like a grown man like me!"

She exhaled a breath of stale air and stared intently at Su Wen, who felt helpless under her anxious gaze.

"That's enough! It's like I'm some kind of useless person!"

"Boss, you're only in your early twenties, right? You're in the prime of your life. It's just a lousy bar that's gone. Look at yourself, you look like you're half dead. I really look down on you. If you're a man, go out and find another job. If you don't have a skill, you don't have a skill. If you really can't do that, you can rely on your looks!"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and dialed a number.

"what are you doing?"

"I have a friend who's a nightclub manager. I'll ask around and see if they're hiring male escorts! You're a good fit!"

Su Wen was both amused and exasperated. He snatched her phone away and said, "You can speak so lightly. Do I look like a man who sells his body? Even if I'm useless, I haven't fallen to this level, have I?"

"Then go out and find a job!"

"Fine, fine, I give up. I'll start working tomorrow and won't get in your way, okay?" Su Wen surrendered with both hands.

After saying that, he went to get his phone back. He refused to give it to him, and the two of them pulled and tugged at each other until they fell onto the sofa, face to face and lips to lips.

Time stood still, and the atmosphere became stagnant.

The two of them seemed to have been struck by acupuncture points, and both froze in place.

A few seconds later, it springs open like a spring.

"Um, it's a bit hot, should we turn on the air conditioner?" Su Wen scratched his head.

She said softly, "You, you must be hungry, I'll go cook!" The two of them went to do their own things, and with a muffled thud, they bumped their foreheads.

The scene was extremely embarrassing.

One hid in the bedroom, the other in the kitchen, their faces flushed red.

Haicheng.

After the meeting ended, Xiao Shen took a car to meet a more important client.

As soon as they got in the car, Song Hao, who was in the passenger seat, reported the situation: "Brother Shen, it's been two days and our men haven't even seen a hair on Miss Su's head. Could she have already left Ningcheng? Why don't we go to Haicheng and see? Her brother Su Wen is there. She's sure to have joined Su Wen's side."

Xiao Shen closed his eyes, rubbing his temples with his fingertips. "No, she must be in Ningcheng. Intensify the investigation. Even if we turn the entire city of Ningcheng upside down, we must find her!"

"Yes!"

"Bah!"

The car suddenly braked hard.

"Brother Shen, are you alright?" Song Hao growled at the driver, "How are you driving?"

The driver was innocent. "Who knew someone would suddenly dart out from in front? I'm sorry, Fourth Master, I'll definitely be more careful next time!"

Song Hao looked closely through the windshield and exclaimed, "Shen Qingfeng? Fourth Master, it's Shen Qingfeng! Please sit down, I'll take care of this!"

Song Hao got out of the car, ready to show off his skills and impress Xiao Shen.

"Dr. Shen, what do you mean? Are you doing this on purpose? You..."

Before Song Hao could finish speaking, Shen Qingfeng pushed him aside.

Bang bang bang!
Shen Qingfeng gently knocked on the rear window of the car.

As the glass fell, Xiao Shen's features became more defined, his demeanor more aloof, and his smile both righteous and wicked, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"Why is Dr. Shen out here in Ningcheng instead of saving lives at the hospital?"

Shen Qingfeng's expression was solemn. "Mr. Xiao, I don't want to keep you in suspense, and I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to find someone. Please hand Su Ying over to me!"

"Oh, so you were looking for her. But unfortunately, she's not with me!" Xiao Shen said lazily, his arm resting on the edge of the car window.

Shen Qingfeng smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, she was at your house when we left. Now you're telling me she's not here? Who would believe that? You've seen Su Ying's attitude towards you. As the saying goes, forced love is never sweet. Why make things difficult for her, Mr. Xiao? Besides, with your status and position, you can have plenty of women if you want. So, please be lenient with Su Ying!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shen smiled.

"Dr. Shen, you have quite the spirit. To be honest, not many people dare to speak to me in such a tone. However..." His expression suddenly hardened, and a menacing aura flashed in his eyes. "Our business is none of your concern!"

Indeed, Shen Qingfeng had no qualifications, no status, and no rights. In the past, he would have felt inferior and disappointed about this matter.

But at this moment, he had to step forward to protect Su Ying.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and the voice that escaped his lips was firm and resolute: "I like Su Ying, I'm pursuing her, and whether she agrees or not, I will do everything in my power to protect her and never let anyone bully her. So, I won't let anyone who bullies her get away with it. Is that reason sufficient?"

Instead of getting angry, Xiao Shen laughed, his shoulders shaking with laughter, as if Shen Qingfeng were just a clown in front of him.

He gave a thumbs up. "Shen Qingfeng's courage in pursuing love is admirable, but... you can only pick up what I don't want!"

"Xiao Shen, you've gone too far! Su Ying is a person, a living, breathing person! What do you take her for? If you don't like her, then please leave her alone..."

Shen Qingfeng, who was usually calm and collected, lost his temper at this moment. Unfortunately, before he could reach out, Xiao Shen's bodyguard had already taken action and held him down.

"Let me go, Xiao Shen! Release Su Ying! I'll do anything you ask if you'll let her go..."

Xiao Shen glanced at him disdainfully, "You? You're not even qualified to be my opponent!"

After speaking, he gestured to the driver to start the car.
