The Rolls-Royce drove along the road.
Shen Qingxi looked at Fu Ningning beside him.
"So, where are you going? We're almost at my house!"
Fu Ningning laughed, "Brother Shen, I'm homeless, can I come to your house for the night?"
Shen Qingxi said, "Look at what you're saying, considering we've known each other for so many years.
Of course not."
Fu Ningning almost strained her back from Shen Qingxi's sudden turn of events.
Pang Cheng, who was driving in front, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Fu Ningning's face darkened: "So, Brother Shen, do you hate me that much?"
Shen Qingxi asked doubtfully, "What does this have to do with hating you?
We're not even close, why would I invite you to my house?
It's fundamentally unreasonable."
Fu Ningning's lips twitched slightly.
She found Shen Qingxi's words infuriating.
But strangely, within that infuriation, there was a reason.
Fu Ningning forced a smile and said, "But we've known each other for many years, haven't we? We went to the same junior high school, then the same high school, and finally the same university. We've had many reunions together!"
Shen Qingxi said, "First of all, we went to the same junior high school because the housing development my dad built back then was where everyone with a bit of money in Jiangcheng bought a house!
It's in the school district for No. 3 Middle School and No. 2 High School, so we were assigned there.
As for university, Jiangcheng only has one university, Jiangcheng University, so it was impossible for us not to be together.
As for reunions, I'm always the main character at Jiangcheng's social gatherings; they're always eager to pick me up from my house.
But as for you, to be honest, I don't remember you attending any gatherings.
According to your logic, I'm connected to everyone in the circle."
Fu Ningning was already on the verge of punching Shen Qingxi.
Wait, how come she never noticed how sharp-tongued this guy was in her past life?
Shen Qingxi said, "Old Pang, find a hotel for Miss Fu along the way."
Pang Cheng nodded.
The easiest thing about following Shen Qingxi is that he doesn't need to deal with any of Shen Qingxi's romantic entanglements.
Because this guy is immune to them.
Shen Qingxi's mouth is truly something most people can't handle.
Crucially, for some reason, this guy is wary of any woman who gets close to him.
Even when he goes out, after using the restroom, he won't touch the drinks on the table.
He's incredibly chaste, absolutely unique among all the young masters he's met in Pangcheng.
Fu Ningning said, "Brother Shen, aren't you afraid of being single forever?"
Shen Qingxi said, "Miss Fu, come, look at me."
Fu Ningning turned her head in confusion.
Meeting Shen Qingxi's eyes, Fu Ningning felt a sudden tremor in her heart.
Shen Qingxi said, "Just look at my face. Do you think I'd be single forever?
You know, I make a living based on my looks, right?"
Fu Ningning's throat tightened.
She had to admit, Shen Qingxi's face was truly unfair.
How could someone be this good-looking?
Fu Ningning subconsciously moved closer to Shen Qingxi.
Shen Qingxi turned his head directly.
"There's a hotel up ahead, let's take Miss Fu there!"
Fu Ningning said shamelessly, "You shameless bastard. "
Seeing Pang Cheng drive towards the hotel, Fu Ningning quickly said, "Brother Shen, I have something to tell you, something very important!"
Shen Qingxi nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Fu Ningning looked at Pang Cheng driving ahead.
Pang Cheng was very sensible, "President Shen, there's a public restroom up ahead, I need to use the restroom."
Shen Qingxi said, "Go ahead."
The car stopped, and Pang Cheng went to the restroom.
Shen Qingxi said, "Alright, Pang Cheng left on his own, just say what you want to say, but don't have any improper thoughts about me."
Fu Ningning's lips twitched slightly, "Don't worry, Brother Shen, I won't."
Shen Qingxi nodded, "That's good then."
Fu Ningning was now really regretting getting into Shen Qingxi's car.
"This guy is really annoying."
Fu Ningning said, "Brother Shen, I've left the Fu family now and have no one to rely on.
With Fu An'an's personality, she will definitely not let me go.
She might even come after me. Today I embarrassed Fu Yongkang, so he won't let me off easily either.
Therefore, I need protection."
Shen Qingxi rubbed his chin: "So, you need protection, right?"
Fu Ningning nodded.
Shen Qingxi said, "That's easy, just report it to the Public Security Bureau."
Fu Ningning was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
Shen Qingxi said, "Go to the Public Security Bureau when you're in trouble, didn't your teacher teach you that?"
Fu Ningning said, "No, what should I say to the Public Security Bureau?"
Shen Qingxi said, "Just say that Fu Yongkang and Fu An'an are targeting you and you need protection."
Fu Ningning said, "But the Public Security Bureau won't protect me forever."
Shen Qingxi thought for a moment, "That makes sense. Then be careful. If something happens to you, I suggest you collect evidence and send it to me. I can help you report it to the Public Security Bureau.
Consider it revenge for you, after all, we've known each other."
Fu Ningning was about to go crazy.
Why was this guy so stubborn?
She, Fu Ningning, was considered one of the top beauties in Jiangcheng's upper-class circles.
Why was Shen Qingxi so dense?
Was he gay?
There seemed to be no connection between Shen Qingxi and women.
On the contrary, he was inseparable from Pang Cheng.
Fu Ningning was startled; she felt like she had grasped the key point.
Her gaze involuntarily drifted down to Shen Qingxi's lower body.
Luckily, it was dark, and Shen Qingxi didn't notice.
Otherwise, he really would have thrown her out of the car.
Fu Ningning shook her head, looking at Shen Qingxi's face; it was truly a pity.
Fu Ningning said, "Brother Shen, what I mean is, I want you to protect me."
Shen Qingxi said, "Me? I can't help you. I'm not a charity."
Fu Ningning said, "I can help you. You also embarrassed Fu Yongkang today. I know him; he'll definitely come after you. If you protect me, I can help you deal with him."
Shen Qingxi nodded, "Hmm, that's a very good suggestion. But why do you think I can't deal with him?"
Fu Ningning was taken aback.
Hmm, that seems to make sense.
Even if the Shen family suffered a crisis, it was still far stronger than the Fu family.
Moreover, the Shen family had now overcome the crisis.
According to her memories from her previous life, after Shen Qingxi took over the Shen family, the Shen family quickly recovered.
And the Shen family, under Shen Qingxi's control, had grown even larger.
The Fu family had also clashed with the Shen family in her previous life, but they were quickly crushed by the Shen family.
Looking at it this way, it seems they really don't need her.
Fu Ningning's mind raced. She needed to prove her worth to stay by Shen Qingxi's side. Of course, she wasn't in love with Shen Qingxi.
Rather, she simply couldn't withstand the Fu family's retaliation on her own.
Moreover, in her past life, Fu An'an and Fu Yongkang so much suffering, so of course she wanted revenge.
It would be difficult to do it alone, after all, the Fu family had other powerful backers, a fact Fu Ningning was somewhat aware of.
In the entire Jiangcheng, only Shen Qingxi, with his mysterious background, could help her.
