One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

Isn't this an obvious lie?

"Never mind, what do you want from me?"

Chen Qi asked in a calm voice.

It's actually quite predictable that Zhuge Qing was retained by the company because he received the Divine Strategist's Hundred Refinements from Ma Xianhong.

Fu Rong is definitely looking for him to help Zhuge Qing get out.

Just then, Chen Qi looked up and noticed that Fu Rong looked shy, lowered her head in embarrassment, and was kicking pebbles.

"I want to say that after leaving Biyou Village, I really have nowhere to go."

"Chen Qi, could you let me stay for a few days?"

The moment the words were spoken, Chen Qi was startled.

what?

As soon as Zhuge Qing entered, you started thinking about finding someone else.

If Zhuge Qing knew this, wouldn't that kid's inner demons suddenly increase?

After thinking it over, Chen Qi still felt that this matter was inappropriate, so he lowered his voice and explained, "Fu Rong, you know that I have quite a few people with me."

“We really can’t take care of you anymore. Look at your companions behind you, they are in the same situation as you. Maybe you can come up with a solution together.”

Even if it's just one piece that the company takes away, it's still better than staying with him.

Fu Rong: "..."

Fu Rong looked shocked, staring in disbelief at Chen Qi, who had spoken so earnestly.

Isn't my meaning obvious enough?

I've already made it clear, haven't I?

Why does Chen Qi still look like he doesn't understand?

More importantly, by the time Fu Rong realized what was happening, Chen Qi and Zhang Chulan had already gotten into the car and left.

……

On the way home, Zhang Chulan sat in the passenger seat and said with a smile to the person in the back, "Brother Qi, I think Fu Rong is a pretty good person. She's simple and straightforward, and she doesn't have any ulterior motives. Plus, she looks like a mature and sophisticated woman."

We're all shrewd people, how could we not see through Fu Rong's thoughts?

Zhang Chulan was merely cooperating with Chen Qi.

Chen Qi ignored what he said.

He doesn't have time to waste on these things.

But the less he said, the more excited Zhang Chulan became.

"I overheard some secrets about Fu Rong at the company today. Do you want to know, Brother Qi?"

"secret?"

"Yes, that's quite a surprising secret."

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but sigh when this matter was mentioned.

Chen Qi raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Then tell me."

He was somewhat intrigued; what secrets could a simple girl like Fu Rong possibly have?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan turned around, his eyes gleaming. "When I came back after making the bench, I saw Lao Meng talking to Hei Guan'er and the others about the twelve superior root talents."

"Good heavens, let's not talk about the others, but Fu Rong is really surprising."

"She was actually a hopeless romantic. The reason she ran to Biyou Village was because she had a lot of debts. In the end, Ma Xianhong helped her hide in the village."

"To support a man, she incurred so much debt. Fu Rong is truly one of the best people I know."

0 ······Requesting flowers··· ·········

Who would have thought that Fu Rong, who seemed so fierce, was actually a person who was crazy about love and would even give up everything for a man?

"She works three jobs to support men, tsk tsk tsk. I heard that the last man she supported is now with a rich woman and they're living a very comfortable life."

Chen Qi: "..."

He truly hadn't expected Fu Rong to have such an experience.

Suddenly, Chen Qi realized what was going on.

So, since some time ago, Fu Rong has been frequently approaching him, not for Zhuge Qing, but for him?

..... .... ...

If there were any doubts before, now it's completely certain.

After all, Zhuge Qing had already been detained by the company, and Fu Rong, isolated and helpless, wanted to contact Chen Qi as soon as possible.

Chen Qi didn't say another word the whole way home, remaining silent until they reached their doorstep.

It wasn't that he didn't want to accept Fu Rong, but rather that Fu Rong's constitution simply couldn't handle it.

"Brother Qi, Chu Lan, you're back?"

Feng Baobao, Duo'er, and Chen Duo were having dinner in the courtyard when they heard the noise and looked over.

"Wow, is it braised noodles today? It smells so good!"

Zhang Chulan jumped out of the car and happily sat down.

Feng Baobao was already familiar with this situation, so she went inside and brought back two bowls and chopsticks.

"By the way, Brother Qi, someone came looking for you today. We told him you weren't home, so he left this here and asked me to give it to you."

Duo'er watched Feng Baobao busying herself and suddenly remembered this matter. She then ran into the house and took out the box.

It was a bright red box with a blue lock.

The shape looks rather strange.

"What is this?"

Chen Qi casually opened the box to check the opening.

Chapter 158 Qu Tong's Meeting

There's a string of red beads in the middle.

"This is... Ma Xianhong's magic weapon?"

Zhang Chulan, who was serving noodles, immediately recognized what was in the box.

Feng Baobao's eyes lit up.

She had long coveted the items on Ma Xianhong's person, but she hadn't had time to retrieve them.

I was planning to wait two days to pick it up, but the person just disappeared.

Chen Qi immediately guessed that the person who gave the gift was Qu Tong.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Feng Baobao's eyes were fixed on the red bead, so he picked it up and handed it to her.

"Here you go, baby. Take it and play with it."

The things that Ma Xianhong could create must be rare treasures in this world.

Even the baby "543" had a hard time cracking Ma Xianhong's magic weapon.

Keeping it will ultimately have its advantages.

As Chen Qi was thinking, Chen Duo suddenly spoke up, "There's an address underneath the bead."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Chen Qi was planning to check the box later to see if there was anything else fishy, ​​but Chen Duo saw through it immediately.

He reached out and closed the box, saying gently, "Eat well."

At the dinner table, Zhang Chulan sensed that something was wrong with Qi Ge, but he couldn't tell him.

After thinking it over, he finally asked after finishing his meal, "Brother Qi, do you know where Ma Xianhong is?"

“This string of beads belongs to Ma Xianhong. He must have contacted you.”

While seemingly asking the surface-level question, Zhang Chulan actually wanted to know whether Qi Ge was behind Ma Xianhong's initial escape.

Chen Qi naturally understood Zhang Chulan's words and looked up at him, "Chulan, are you doubting me?"

One sentence immediately calmed Zhang Chulan down. "Of course not, Brother Qi. I, Zhang Chulan, will never forget the kindness of Brother Qi and Sister Bao'er in my life. I will protect you for the rest of my life."

At this point, he became somewhat vague, "But I really want to know what Brother Qi is doing, and if there's anything I can do to help. I also really want to do something for Brother Qi and Sister Bao'er."

Listening to Zhang Chulan's heartfelt words, anyone else would have been moved long ago.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chulan encountered Chen Qi instead.

Chen Qi wouldn't be moved by these words unless they were spoken by Bao'er or Duo'er.

"Chu Lan, there are some things I've never told you. Now you've grown up, you have your own things to do, and you have your own choices. Being with the company is a more stable option."

"But if one day I become an adversary of the company, what will your choice be?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan replied without hesitation, "I will always choose Brother Qi and Sister Bao'er!"

At this moment, Zhang Chulan was like a devout believer, unwilling to leave his faith.

Seeing Zhang Chulan's serious expression, Chen Qi knew that the boy wasn't lying; that was indeed what he thought.

So he patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder and said, "Okay."

After dinner, Chen Qi put his arm around Feng Baobao and they went back to their room.

After finishing her meal, Feng Baobao went to take a shower, so when she returned to the room, only Chen Qi went to the bathroom.

This is a good opportunity to think about it.

What should he choose?

The idea had just begun to emerge and had been nipped in the bud.

"My choice will forever reveal the secrets of the Eight Heroes, the Eight Miracles, and the Twenty-Four Seasonal Valleys."

Chen Qi really wanted to know why these people from the Eight Wonders would say they had seen him there.

Many questions remained unanswered.

Chen Qi quickly washed up and went out, then went to bed and hugged Feng Baobao tightly.

As they were embracing, a mischievous little hand suddenly appeared in front of them.

He looked down and met those clear eyes, saying with a clean and innocent face, "I'm going to sleep with Qi-ge tonight..."

"!!!"

Chen Qi, who was not sleepy to begin with, became even more awake.

"Baby, where did you learn that?"

Despite his fear, Chen Qi eventually yielded to Feng Baobao.

Unexpectedly, Feng Baobao seemed to be venting her frustrations without stopping, continuing until dawn.

Another room.

Duo'er hugged her younger sister and whispered, "Did you remember everything I told you during the day?"

"If you want to stay by Qi Ge's side, being my sister isn't enough; you have to sleep with Qi Ge."

"We should hurry up recently. Brother Qi is very busy lately and may have to go out again at any time."

"If you can't sleep with me today, you can sleep with me tomorrow. You absolutely have to sleep with Qi-ge!"

If Chen Qi heard Duo'er say these words, he would know where Feng Baobao learned them from.

Chen Qi and Feng Baobao slept soundly until noon in the master bedroom.

This clearly shows how tired the two of them were last night.

Duo'er and Chen Duo were playing ball and watering flowers in the yard, and finally Zhang Chulan got up.
