28: Chapter 28 Chen Aila will encounter danger at noon today.
Compared to the depressed Lin Fei,
Luo Wei, situated in a private restaurant room, was incredibly comfortable.
The lively Liu Zhixu had drunk a bit of wine and kept rubbing against him.
Gu Nanqiao was also full of goodwill toward him, constantly placing food in his bowl.
This meal lasted for a full hour.
After eating and drinking their fill, Gu Nanqiao didn't forget to pack up the leftovers.
This Black Stocking Older Sister Figure was clearly a wealthy woman, yet she was so frugal.
The fragrant bob-cut girl leaned close to Luo Wei and explained with a giggle.
“Nanqiao usually takes the leftovers from home to give to the Scavenging Old Man around the neighborhood.”
So that was it. Luo Wei gave Gu Nanqiao a thumbs up; this Black Stocking Older Sister Figure truly had a beautiful heart to match her looks.
Gu Nanqiao finished packing the boxes and gave Luo Wei a blushing glare. “Alright, let's go.”
Luo Wei drove, carrying the two beauties away from the restaurant.
As they neared the neighborhood, Gu Nanqiao signaled for him to slow down.
She looked around through the car window and soon spotted an old man collecting plastic water bottles from a trash can.
Luo Wei pulled over, and Gu Nanqiao got out with the food, walking toward the Scavenging Old Man.
“You don't need to get out, it's fine!” she said, seeing Luo Wei unbuckle his seatbelt to follow.
Liu Zhixu explained with a smile, “Nanqiao often brings food to that old man.”
“They've known each other for a long time; nothing will happen.”
As they spoke, Gu Nanqiao had already handed the packed food to the Scavenging Old Man.
The old man had a scruffy beard, and his wrinkled face lit up with a brilliant smile as he repeatedly bowed to Gu Nanqiao in thanks.
Gu Nanqiao returned quickly, and Luo Wei drove them back into the neighborhood.
After parking, they took the elevator to the 16th floor.
Liu Zhixu giggled and waved at Luo Wei.
“Brother Luo Wei, you couldn't drink just now because you had to drive.”
“Do you want to come over and have a drink with us?”
It was late at night, and Liu Zhixu's sudden invitation certainly felt a bit ambiguous.
If Liu Zhixu lived alone, Luo Wei would have agreed without hesitation.
But she lived with Gu Nanqiao.
Luo Wei felt that no 'story' would happen tonight!
He politely declined the invitation and told the bob-cut girl to get some rest early.
Watching Luo Wei enter Room 1601, Gu Nanqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly pulled her Best Friend into Room 1602.
She couldn't help but complain in a low voice, “What are you doing? Inviting a man over for drinks late at night—did you fall in love at first sight?”
“I wouldn't say love at first sight,” Liu Zhixu shook her head with a giggle, “but I have a very good impression of him!”
“My invitation just now was actually a test.”
“If he had actually agreed, my opinion of him would have dropped a bit.”
Gu Nanqiao realized, “So because he refused, it means your liking for him increased, right?”
“Exactly!” Liu Zhixu admitted without hesitation. “Luo Wei is handsome, skilled, and has a decent character. Nanqiao, you like him too, don't you?”
Gu Nanqiao blushed and hurriedly shook her head. “I'm grateful to him, that's all...”
“I don't believe you. I've noticed you always looking at him with such tender eyes!”
“You're talking nonsense! Careful or I'll hit you!”
“Come on then, hee-hee...”
In his own home, Luo Wei could faintly hear the sounds of their play-fighting from next door.
It wasn't that the building's soundproofing was poor, but rather that after taking the body strengthening fluid, his perception was extremely keen.
At this moment, he had his shirt off and was standing in front of the full-length bathroom mirror, looking at the solid muscles on his arms and the smooth lines of his abdomen.
He couldn't help but recall the scene from last night when Shen Yanqiu was stunned by his perfect physique.
Speaking of which, the body strengthening fluid didn't just enhance his physical build.
Luo Wei's combat strength had also become exceptionally powerful.
Recalling the scenes from last night,
A brilliant smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Just then, his phone rang; Shen Yanqiu had sent a WeChat message.
The glamorous Female Superior didn't say anything, only sending a hotel location.
Her meaning was self-evident, and the smile on Luo Wei's face grew even brighter.
He couldn't help but tease, “President Shen didn't sleep well last night; are you not planning to rest properly tonight either?”
Shen Yanqiu quickly replied, “I'm not busy tomorrow, I can go to work late.”
Since she put it that way, how could Luo Wei refuse?
He, who was about to shower, threw on his clothes and immediately headed out.
He certainly hadn't invested any deep feelings into Shen Yanqiu.
The two were simply taking what they needed from each other.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Past nine in the morning, Luo Wei lazily woke up in the soft blankets.
He wasn't in a rush to get up, instead watching the glamorous Shen Yanqiu elegantly apply her makeup.
Shen Yanqiu blushed slightly under Luo Wei's gaze.
She pointed to the shopping bags by the bed.
“I bought you a few clothes; see if they fit.”
Luo Wei had seen those shopping bags last night, but he hadn't expected them to be gifts from Shen Yanqiu.
Shen Yanqiu hadn't just bought a few items; she had bought several full outfits, including socks and leather shoes, all from big-name brands.
Luo Wei picked a casual suit and put it on. Standing before the mirror, he felt he had become even handsomer—fine clothes truly make the man!
He gave Shen Yanqiu a thumbs up. The clothes and shoes were a perfect fit; Shen Yanqiu truly had great taste.
Shen Yanqiu smiled triumphantly and didn't forget to urge Luo Wei to wash up quickly.
He drove Shen Yanqiu to the company.
Luo Wei originally wanted to slip away; he didn't want to work at all right now.
But at that moment, a system pop-up appeared before his eyes—todays intelligence had refreshed!
【todays intelligence】
1. Chen Aila will encounter danger today at noon.
2. The Scavenging Old Man whom Gu Nanqiao frequently helps is actually the mastermind behind a major robbery twenty years ago.
3. Lin Wantang's capital chain has broken, and she plans to end her life at Honghai Bridge tonight.
“Today's intelligence is all related to beauties again!”
Luo Wei subconciously complained.
Then, he frowned.
What kind of danger would Chen Aila encounter?
Also, the Scavenging Old Man Gu Nanqiao helped last night was actually the mastermind of a major robbery. You really can't judge a book by its cover!
Since he knew the true face of that Scavenging Old Man, he had to deal with him!
However, there was no rush; he could handle it later.
The third piece of intelligence was the same; it would only happen at night.
Luo Wei decisively got out of the car and went upstairs.
Chen Aila was his partner-in-slacking at the company.
They had a good relationship, so knowing Chen Aila would be in danger, he naturally had to intervene.
Moreover, handling this matter well would earn him intelligence points, so why not!
As Luo Wei entered the busy office area, someone immediately cast a strange look his way...
