Shen Qingxi said, "Since you want to stay here and have me provide you with protection, then you have to demonstrate your value!"
Fu Ningning said, "I told you about the stocks."
Shen Qingxi said, "That's right, but firstly, your information can't be verified in a short time.
Secondly, to protect you, I'd have to go against the Fu family.
You know I'm a businessman; profit outweighs personal relationships.
Besides, it seems like we have no personal connections!"
Fu Ningning said, "But even without me, you would still go against the Fu family."
Shen Qingxi raised a finger and shook it.
"No, no, no, it's different. If I go against the Fu family, that's my problem.
But now, if I go against the Fu family, it's because of you!
So, you should understand that it's your responsibility that I go against the Fu family."
Fu Ningning's lips twitched slightly. How could this person say something completely unreasonable in such a high-sounding tone?
Fu Ningning said, "So what? What do you want me to give in return?"
Shen Qingxi said, "I see you don't have much money. How about this, you can stay here, but you can't just stay for free.
From now on, cooking and cleaning will be your responsibility!
Of course, you can hire someone.
After all, I'm protecting you, so you have to be of some use, right?
If you're more useful, then you can use that and get rid of the cooking and cleaning chores!"
Fu Ningning's eyes widened: "You want me to be a maid?"
Shen Qingxi scratched his head: "Was my statement that obvious?"
Fu Ningning gritted her teeth.
Seeing this, Shen Qingxi subconsciously flinched, afraid that Fu Ningning would suddenly explode.
Fu Ningning tried hard to calm her anger.
She had to endure it.
Shen Qingxi's background was mysterious and powerful. If she wanted to take revenge on Fu An'an, Shen Qingxi was the only help she could find right now.
A small act of impatience could ruin a big plan.
She had to endure it.
Fu Ningning forced a smile: "Okay, Brother Shen, you're right. I can't just eat and stay for free. Leave these chores to me."
Shen Qingxi was stunned.
She could actually hold back like this?
What did this girl really want from him?
Could it be...?
Shen Qingxi looked down and saw his chest muscles and eight-pack abs through his collar.
A V-shaped waist, muscular arms, and broad shoulders.
This woman, could she really be after his body?!
Shen Qingxi quickly said, "Also, let me say this first: whatever you're thinking, you have to understand, there's no possibility between us.
My mom doesn't allow me to date early."
Fu Ningning really couldn't hold back anymore: "You're talking nonsense! I never thought there was anything between us!
I'm not interested in you either, and besides, you're already 22, what kind of early romance are you talking about?"
Fu Ningning could no longer maintain her so-called refined lady demeanor.
All she wanted to do now was curse Shen Qingxi.
Shen Qingxi shrugged: "Look at you, in such a hurry. It's getting late, I'm going to sleep."
Without waiting for the enraged Fu Ningning, Shen Qingxi used a movement technique and rushed upstairs.
Fu Ningning was left standing there, furious but unable to vent her anger.
She could only grow angrier the more she thought about it.
She vented all her anger on the dishes, scrubbing them vigorously with her hands, as if she could polish them a second time.
Shen Qingxi returned to her room, lay on the bed, and burped.
She sent Pang Cheng a summoning message.
"Log in!"
Pang Cheng replied instantly.
"Received!"
Shen Qingxi held the phone horizontally again, and soon began to curse.
"Old Pang, do you even eat fried dough? The enemy team has Lanling King, and you picked a hard-boiled egg?
The game is only five minutes in, and you're letting us gank 0/5? Dying once a minute? You've spent all your game time respawning, haven't you?!"
Pang Cheng's voice came through the receiver.
"Calm down, young master, it's just a little hardship. Let me develop a bit, and one machine gun from me will take them all down!"
Shen Qingxi's lips twitched slightly.
Five minutes later, Shen Qingxi looked at the large red mark on the screen, and the sign of defeat.
He felt utterly exhausted.
"Is this how you developed?"
Pang Cheng remained calm: "Don't be impatient, young master. This was a problem, but next time, I'll definitely carry you."
Another game passed, and Shen Qingxi clutched his chest.
"I don't understand, really, Lao Pang, I really don't understand.
Is there anything else you can play besides Lucas?
Do you just have to play this crappy Lucas?"
Pang Cheng replied, "You said I could play anything, and you'd carry me!
Besides, Lucas is the only hero I've ever bought a skin for, Arcade Kid, it's expensive!
Other heroes don't have ten attack power, I don't like starting behind."
Shen Qingxi retorted, "Stop kidding, really, Lao Pang, from the moment you locked onto Lucas, you were already behind!"
Pang Cheng's response remained calm: "Let's start, one more game."
Shen Qingxi sighed, about to press start.
There was a knock on his door.
Fu Ningning's voice came from outside: "Brother Shen, open the door."
Shen Qingxi paused for a moment: "I'm not playing anymore, Lao Pang."
With that, Shen Qingxi locked his phone.
The voice call ended.
Meanwhile, at Pang Cheng's home.
Pang Cheng frowned.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, then he opened a drawer beside him.
He put a small box into his bag,then tossed his phone aside and closed his eyes.
At ShenQingxi's house,after carefully wrapping herself in her clothes and making sure she wasn't exposed,he opened the door.
"Wait, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Fu Ningning glanced at Shen Qingxi, who was bundled up tightly.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Was this guy always this narcissistic?
She'd never noticed it back in school.
Fu Ningning said, "Brother Shen, have you forgotten? I don't have any bedding. You told me to come to your room to get it!"
Shen Qingxi was taken aback.
Hmm, that's actually true.
Shen Qingxi said, "Okay, come in. It's in the closet, a new set, and the blanket too. Go get it yourself."
Fu Ningning nodded.
Then, she followed Shen Qingxi into the room.
Shen Qingxi ignored Fu Ningning, jumped onto the bed, and unlocked his phone.
He found that Pang Cheng was offline.
He was a little disappointed; he hadn't finished playing yet.
Fu Ningning looked around Shen Qingxi's room.
After scanning the room, she realized it was completely different from the messy room she'd imagined a man would have.
Shen Qingxi's room was simply furnished.
There wasn't any particular smell, but there was a faint scent of shower gel.
Shen Qingxi turned to look at Fu Ningning at the door.
"Hey, what's that? Isn't that the wardrobe? It's at the very bottom!"
Fu Ningning's pretty face flushed slightly.
She went to the wardrobe and opened the door.
She pulled out the bedding from the bottom.
Looking at Shen Qingxi, who was lying on the bed playing on his phone,
Fu Ningning rolled her eyes.
That jerk, isn't he going to help? What a jerk!
