"Su Xuan, get back here for the meeting immediately!"
The call was from Lu Dachun, the head of the delivery station.
"Got it."
Su Xuan hung up, waved to Ye Qianqian, and they both got into the Koenigsegg.
"I'll kill you!"
"You shameless, two-faced bitch!"
"Trying to scam me with your used-up body! I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
The multimillionaire was still beating the woman, blocking the car's path.
BEEP!
Su Xuan had to honk the horn.
"Wow, the horn on a Koenigsegg sounds amazing!"
"It's like a maestro playing an instrument!"
The multimillionaire looked up at the sound, stunned by the horn.
"My bad!" he called out. "Sorry you had to see me make a fool of myself, bro!"
Then, the multimillionaire quickly dragged the woman aside and continued to beat her. He was absolutely furious! He had planned to take this woman to see a two-hundred-square-meter marital home today! Now? Like hell they were looking at that now!
"Thanks, bro!" the rich man shouted again at the slowly departing Koenigsegg.
If it hadn't been for Su Xuan, he might have been deceived by this damn woman for the rest of his life.
"Hehe, that woman's life is ruined!" Ye Qianqian said with a sweet smile, sitting in the hundred-million-yuan supercar.
Perhaps the shock was wearing off, because the paleness in her face was gone, replaced by a vibrant energy.
"Don't get involved in other people's business," Su Xuan said while driving. "I can't take you home. I have to rush to the station for a meeting, or they'll dock my pay."
"Oh, that's great!" Ye Qianqian was surprisingly happy. "I'll go with you and see where you work."
She also admired Su Xuan's attitude. Driving a hundred-million-yuan supercar, yet still worried about his pay being docked. What a career-driven man!
"Ha," Su Xuan chuckled. "My real workplace isn't there. It's every street, every neighborhood, every building. It's getting to know every stranger, every interesting person..."
"Wow, that's so romantic!" Ye Qianqian blinked her beautiful eyes. "I really want to deliver packages with you!"
An image formed in her mind. She was also wearing a courier's uniform, weaving through the streets and alleys with Su Xuan to deliver packages. If he started to sweat, she would wipe his brow. If he got tired, she would massage his shoulders and rub his back...
But she had no idea that Su Xuan was the owner of Lycar. Before delivering a package to her, he had already enjoyed a sauna and received massages from a Filipino therapist and from Li Ranran, who was trained in Japanese techniques. He was hardly in need of her care.
"Oh, Su Xuan, you have something on your shoulder!" Ye Qianqian said, not at all shy about throwing herself at him. She reached out with her slender, jade-like fingers, plucked a single hair from his shoulder, and then added indignantly, "It must be that horrible woman's hair! It's dirtied my hero's clothes!"
Su Xuan glanced sideways at her. "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Ye Qianqian widened her eyes for him to see. "They're perfectly fine! I have 2.0 vision!"
"That's your hair," Su Xuan said.
"Oh!"
Ye Qianqian quickly compared it to her own hair and realized he was right. Her face instantly turned beet red. Then, regret washed over her. If she'd known it was her own hair, she wouldn't have taken it off him. Having a piece of herself on her hero... wouldn't that be romantic and blissful?
"Alright, let's be serious," Su Xuan said, glancing at the dazed-looking Ye Qianqian. "You seem so playful and mischievous, not like the type to get stuck on things. Why would you do something like that?"
"I..." Ye Qianqian knew he was asking why she had tried to take her own life.
"I... my cat went missing," she stammered. "Her name is Tong Tong. She was so good, always listened to me, and so understanding... but she suddenly disappeared. I couldn't find her anywhere. Su Xuan, do you think she ran away, or was she stolen?"
"I'll give you one more chance to tell me the truth." Su Xuan obviously didn't believe her.
"Then... you really want me to say it?" Ye Qianqian gazed at his captivating profile, gathered herself, and finally shared the sorrowful secret that had been crushing her heart.
She once had a happy and perfect family. Her father was the vice president of a company, and her mother was a kind, virtuous, and beautiful woman. But, as the old saying goes, money corrupts men. Just last month, her father divorced her mother for another woman, and their wonderful family fell apart. Heartbroken, her mother went on a solo trip to clear her head, but she died in an accident on a mountain. But Ye Qianqian didn't believe it was an accident. She believed her mother, devastated by her father's betrayal, no longer wanted to live. After arranging her mother's funeral, she was left alone in their once-happy home. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and the desire to end her own life grew stronger and stronger, until today...
"WAAAAH!" Ye Qianqian suddenly threw her arms around Su Xuan's arm and burst into tears.
Su Xuan's lips tightened. He slowed the car down and let her cry.
"Ye Qianqian," he said, once she had quieted down a bit. "All contrived things are like a dream, a phantom, a bubble, a shadow. Like dew or a flash of lightning..."
"Su Xuan," Ye Qianqian lifted her beautiful, tear-filled eyes. "I don't understand."
"Ahem." Su Xuan had to try another approach. "You know, God has a strange sense of humor. A cat loves fish, but it can't go in the water. A fish loves earthworms, but it can't come on land. Life is a constant process of choosing and letting go, of gaining and losing... Do you understand?"
"I... I understand!" Ye Qianqian's mouth fell slightly open.
This time, she understood him instantly, and her mood lifted as if a weight had been removed. Life really is like that—a constant cycle of gaining and losing, something far beyond human control.
"You really get it?" Su Xuan smiled. "So from now on..."
"From now on, I'll live my life to the fullest and never try to end it again!" Ye Qianqian declared with conviction.
Anyone else's words might not have had such an effect on her. But Su Xuan was different. Her heart had fluttered the moment she saw him. He had saved her life. They had "ganged up" on that bad woman together... Being with Su Xuan was pure joy. Su Xuan was what she had now, and she was going to hold onto this precious gift with all her might.
「About fifteen minutes later.」
They arrived at the delivery station where Su Xuan worked. To avoid making his colleagues uncomfortable, Su Xuan deliberately parked the Koenigsegg far away and they walked the rest of the way.
Ye Qianqian followed him like a cheerful sprite, sticking close to his side.
Just as they walked into the station's office, the head, Lu Dachun, pointed at Su Xuan in front of more than twenty couriers and started yelling. "Hah, Su Xuan! I thought you weren't going to show up!"
As he spoke, he noticed Ye Qianqian. His eyes immediately lit up with a lecherous glint, and he swallowed hard. What a knockout! An absolute goddess!
The twenty-odd couriers also locked their gazes on Ye Qianqian, practically drooling.
"Hello, miss!" Lu Dachun said to Ye Qianqian in a gentle tone, completely misreading the situation.
"Are you here to file a complaint against Su Xuan?
"That guy, his service attitude is often terrible, especially towards girls!
"Don't you worry, I'll teach him a harsh lesson for you!"
