16: My family might not agree!
“Thanks for today’s matter. You saved Miss’s life, so I owe you a favor.”
Butler Fu cupped his fists towards Qin Shou and said solemnly.
“No need, I was also saving myself.”
Qin Shou waved his hand, thinking, what era is this, to still be doing this?
“I, Fu Canghai, have always been clear about gratitude and grudges. I repay kindness and avenge wrongs. If I say I owe you a favor, then I owe you a favor.”
Butler Fu emphasized his tone.
“Alright, whatever you want!”
Qin Shou only felt that this person was a bit stubborn and didn’t bother to argue with him further.
“Miss, it’s alright now, you can get out of the car.”
Butler Fu turned around and said to Ren Jing, who was still in the car.
At this moment, Ren Jing finally stepped out of the Red Flag sedan, which was riddled with bullet holes. Her clothes were slightly disheveled, her delicate face still carried a hint of un-faded blush, and her hair was a bit messy, but it added to her charm and allure.
“It was my incompetence, I failed to protect Miss and let you be startled.”
Butler Fu saw Ren Jing’s slightly disheveled clothes and flushed face, thinking she was frightened. He quickly bowed in apology, his tone full of self-reproach.
How could Butler Fu know that Ren Jing was *aroused*, not *frightened*?
“It’s alright, it’s not your fault. No one expected to encounter assassins in the city, and that they would dare to openly use firearms.”
Ren Jing shook her head. At this moment, she had quickly adjusted her emotions, put away the slightly shy demeanor she had in the car, and returned to her usual capable, decisive, and powerful female executive image.
“Miss, who do you think is the mastermind behind this?”
Butler Fu frowned, his expression somewhat displeased.
“Hmph! No matter who the other party is, anyone who dares to harm me must pay the price!”
Ren Jing’s tone was cold, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Qin Shou, who was standing by, took in Ren Jing’s changing expression and sighed inwardly, “So beautiful, she’s simply hot and sweet and Mature. She can switch between a domineering female CEO and a shy sweetie at will.”
After saying this, Ren Jing inadvertently looked up and met Qin Shou’s gaze. Her delicate eyebrows raised slightly, and she thought to herself, “Hmph, this scoundrel, what are you looking at? Haven’t you seen enough in the car just now?”
“Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in approaching our Rongrong?”
Ren Jing’s tone shifted, her originally gentle voice suddenly becoming serious, and her gaze turned sharp.
Qin Shou was slightly taken aback by this sudden change from Ren Jing. He said frankly, “Who am I? My name is Qin Shou. I used to be an ordinary programmer, but now I’m unemployed, a jobless vagrant.”
“You’re really a programmer? What programmer would have your agile skills and accurate marksmanship?”
Ren Jing looked at Qin Shou suspiciously, clearly not believing his words. The skills and marksmanship Qin Shou displayed just now could not possibly belong to an ordinary programmer.
“You, as the mayor, if you have doubts about my identity, you can send people to investigate me!”
Qin Shou shrugged, an indifferent attitude.
Ren Jing was stunned by this. She didn’t expect Qin Shou to be so frank, which made her somewhat at a loss.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. I don’t think you’ll need me anymore, right?”
When facing Ren Jing, Qin Shou still felt a strange sense of guilt, so he made an excuse to quickly slip away.
Although he swore to be a scoundrel after his rebirth and never an honest man, Ren Jing was, after all, Yan Yourong’s good friend. For a while, Qin Shou hadn’t fully made the role transition and felt somewhat uncomfortable all over.
“Wait! You think you can just leave?”
Seeing Qin Shou actually turn to leave, Ren Jing couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable anger. She thought, “What is this? You messed with me in the car, and now you want to run away irresponsibly? What kind of relationship is this? A car affair? You made me comfortable, who am I supposed to find now?”
When Qin Shou heard Ren Jing call out to him, his heart skipped a beat. He thought, “It’s over, she’s probably developed feelings for me from prolonged contact. She won’t ask me to be responsible, will she?”
However, Qin Shou then thought, it seems he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage anyway. How could he lose out by being with a rich woman? Moreover, this rich woman had money, power, and beauty. Being with one rich woman was being with one, and being with several rich women was also being with several.
He earned 100,000 yuan from his hard work last night. Thinking about it, the business of being with rich women seemed to have great potential, much better than toiling in front of a computer, coding. Anyway, the nature of these two things was pretty much the same, just “staying up late + harming one’s body.”
“Uh! Is there anything else?”
Qin Shou turned around, collected his thoughts, and asked with a slight embarrassment.
“You have to leave your contact information!”
As she said this, Ren Jing unconsciously pouted, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness, which was extremely cute. When a top-notch Mature woman suddenly acts coy, the destructive power is immense, and most people really can’t handle it.
Qin Shou’s heart fluttered. He sighed inwardly, “Monsters, all monsters. Sure enough, no matter what kind of beauty, whether you’re a Mature woman or a powerful woman, you can turn into a crying baby at any time! Fortunately, I’ve already made up my mind. Any beauty can only have my body, never my heart.”
After exchanging contact information with Ren Jing, Qin Shou turned and left alone. He knew in his heart that the subsequent matters were not something he was qualified to interfere with at the moment.
After Qin Shou left, Butler Fu walked up to Ren Jing and asked with a serious expression, “Miss, what do you think of this person? I think if his background is clean, he would be a good choice.”
“Ah? What do you mean, ‘what do I think’? I… I think he’s alright, but my family definitely wouldn’t agree!”
When Ren Jing heard Butler Fu’s words, her heart couldn’t help but panic, and her fingers unconsciously twirled. She didn’t know the true meaning of Butler Fu’s words, thinking he already knew what had happened in the back seat just now. A shy blush immediately appeared on her face.
Actually, with all the gunshots earlier, how could Butler Fu know that there was also a ‘gunfight’ in the back seat?
“Hiring a Bodyguard? Do I still need my family’s permission?”
When Butler Fu heard Ren Jing’s words, he was completely bewildered and didn’t understand what she meant.
“Ah! You’re talking about that!”
After Butler Fu’s explanation, Ren Jing suddenly realized and understood what he meant. Her cheeks instantly flushed even redder, like a ripe red apple, luscious and inviting.
“Otherwise, what did you think I was talking about? Although I have some skills, when it comes to marksmanship, I admit I’m not as good as that young man. The assassins hired by the other party dared to openly use firearms, so we must also hire an expert with a gun as your personal Bodyguard to ensure your safety.”
Butler Fu was very serious.
“Hmm! I’ll consider this carefully, but he might not be willing to accept.”
Ren Jing lowered her head slightly and said thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking at the moment.
