The airport was bustling with people, but many noticed Si Huang and Dou Wenqing.
Their appearances and demeanors were undeniably captivating, especially since when their eyes met; sparks seemed to fly.
Even the most oblivious person could sense the icy aura emanating from Dou Wenqing.
Chai Liang, following behind him, almost thought he was hallucinating the moment he saw Si Huang, then cursed inwardly: “Damn it! Why did he have to show up just when the young master’s temper is flaring?”
Yu Xi was also taken aback, and whispered to Si Huang, “Leave this to me?”
“Okay.” Si Huang turned and walked away.
Yu Xi’s face immediately tightened. “Wait!”
“Stop!” The icy, inorganic voice easily drowned out the others.
Si Huang sighed. “Never mind.”
If Yu Xi could handle it, she would gladly hand over the mess to him.
But in the current situation, doing so would likely leave Yu Xi half-dead, if not crippled.
“You stay here and wait for someone.”
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yu Xi’s face. He was the one who had asked Si Huang if she needed him, but he still hadn’t been able to help much. However, he was very self-aware. Facing someone like Dou Wenqing, he would prefer to face Qin Fan. He always felt that even though the latter seemed imposing, he was safer.
If the young masters of the aristocratic families in the capital knew his thoughts, they would definitely burst into laughter.
Most of what Master Qin did were classified missions, but that didn’t affect everyone’s awe of him or the rumors about him.
In terms of danger, the two were evenly matched. It was just that when Yu Xi met Qin Fan, Si Huang was there to keep him warm, which made this madman seem like a quiet and normal person.
In just a few seconds, Dou Wenqing had already walked up to Si Huang.
Before he could speak, Si Huang had already smiled and said, “What a coincidence.”
Her smile seemed indifferent, as if there had been no conflict between them before.
Dou Wenqing paused. “Who are you here to pick up?”
“It doesn’t matter who I came to pick up, I’m picking you up now,” Si Huang said.
Dou Wenqing: “Since you’re here to pick me up, let’s go.”
Si Huang didn’t move, her gaze shifting to the person behind him. “Do you have time to chat?”
Behind Dou Wenqing stood Chai Liang, his client, and two bodyguards.
The middle-aged client knew she was referring to him and chuckled, “You can accompany the Second Young Master on his business first, and then you can chat after we’re done.”
Everyone understood that the client considered Si Huang merely an escort.
Si Huang raised an eyebrow and said directly to Dou Wenqing, “If you’re busy, we can arrange another time.”
Another time?
Dou Wenqing’s eyes flickered behind his hair. He remembered that she owed him a meal, which had been delayed until it became a takeout order.
Who knew how long “next time” would take, or what the outcome would be?
“You guys go first,” Dou Wenqing said to the client behind him.
The client was surprised and quickly advised, “Second Young Master, this isn’t China, it’s not safe outside…”
Their business here wasn’t exactly legitimate and would be rejected by various local factions, both legitimate and illegitimate, making it unsuitable for them to be seen in public.
Unfortunately, before the client could finish speaking, he was met with a cold stare from the Second Young Master.
Chai Liang reminded him, “The Second Young Master has his own sense of propriety in making any decisions, so don’t say anything more.”
To dare question the Second Young Master’s decisions when he’s in a bad mood is practically suicide. Did he think he was Si Huang? Chai Liang thought to himself.
The client, already sweating from Dou Wenqing’s gaze, readily accepted Chai Liang’s offer, saying, “It was my oversight. The Second Young Master certainly has his own sense of propriety. I’ll wait at the hotel I booked.”
With that, he left with his bodyguards.
As he passed Si Huang, he glanced at her, his eyes flashing with surprise.
He couldn’t understand what kind of magic Si Huang possessed. Mentioning her name made the Second Young Master come to Italy to sign a contract. Now, with just a few words, she changed his itinerary— not her going with him, but him going with her?
Si Huang also glanced at the client, a cold glint in her eyes.
The client shuddered, immediately averting his gaze from Si Huang. He walked several steps away before secretly wiping his forehead. What had just happened? That gaze was just as piercing as the Second Young Master’s!
Seeing is believing; just based on Si Huang’s composure in the face of the Second Young Master Dou, and the way his gaze could elicit a physical reaction from him, he would never underestimate him again.
Si Huang asked Yu Xi for the car keys. “Call another car later.” Then she said to Dou Wenqing, “Let’s go.”
She drove herself because she didn’t want to passively get into the car Dou Wenqing had prepared earlier.
If she could, she wouldn’t want to be around Dou Wenqing right now, but since she couldn’t escape it, she might as well take control.
Dou Wenqing turned his head and gestured towards Yu Xi. “What’s he doing here?”
Si Huang didn’t answer and led the way out of the airport.
This audacity left Chai Liang speechless for a moment, then he heard his second young master’s voice, “You stay here and watch.”
“Huh?” Chai Liang was stunned. “Watch what?”
Dou Wenqing coldly ordered, “Watch him pick up the person.”
Yu Xi, who was stared at by Dou Wenqing, felt as if he were instantly plunged into an icy wasteland.
It turned out that not only was Mr. Qin’s gaze terrifying, but this man’s gaze was also incredibly sharp!
Especially Dou Wenqing’s words, which made Yu Xi feel a chill in his heart. Why did the other party seem to know who he was picking up?
Chai Liang was also very depressed. “But second young master, my responsibility is to stay by your side and protect your safety.”
Dou Wenqing stared at him without any emotion.
Chai Liang had been by his side for several years. So even though the second young master didn’t say anything, he still understood what the second young master meant— Do I need your protection?
Chai Liang was speechless. In terms of fighting skills alone, he was no match for the second young master. Him being by the second young master’s side was more like a life and work assistant, helping with various tasks.
“I know.”
Dou Wenqing turned and followed Si Huang.
At the airport entrance.
Si Huang watched as Dou Wenqing opened the passenger door and got in, feeling the second young master’s cold aura up close, she asked, “Shall I take you back to your hotel or somewhere else to sit?”
“To eat.” Dou Wenqing’s icy voice broke Si Huang’s last attempt to probe.
Si Huang shrugged, started the gas, and drove off.
She hadn’t been watching the road when Yu Xi was driving, so now she was driving purely by feel, intending to find a restaurant or coffee shop for lunch.
“I watched the show ‘Infinite Collapse’,” Second Master Dou voice came from beside her.
Si Huang didn’t immediately realize what he meant by mentioning it, and casually replied with a smile, “Hmm? Pretty interesting, right?”
Du Xiaoguang’s ability to trick people was truly impressive.
“Heh.”
Si Huang was too sensitive to this sardonic laughter.
This was the easiest way to spot Dou Wenqing’s anger.
She turned her head and saw Second Master Dou’s cold, sullen lips. Even his smile couldn’t bring comfort; instead, it made her even more uneasy. So she instinctively tilted her head, “What’s wrong?”
Her silver-white hair complemented her snow-white face, and her eyes, once sharp and clear, now held back. She looked just like a jade statue sculpted from ice and snow.
Dou Wenqing’s breath caught in his throat; and the words he wanted to say were swallowed back.
His gaze was deep, staring at Si Huang for several seconds before turning to look out the window. He then drew the dagger he carried, his fingers deftly twirling the weapon between his fingers.
He was controlling and calming his emotions.
Why?
Si Huang’s mind raced.
The car entered the city, and Si Huang stopped at a roadside coffee shop.
Perhaps because it was on the outskirts of the city, there weren’t many customers, mostly just passersby.
This suited Si Huang’s current needs perfectly.
She chose a corner seat, ordered lunch for herself, and then handed the order to Dou Wenqing.
He didn’t reach out to take it. “You order.”
Si Huang glanced at his hand still playing with the knife, then at the waiter standing by the table, his face stiff, and suddenly found it somewhat amusing. Based on Dou Wenqing’s preferences, she ordered him lunch.
After the waiter fled with the order, Dou Wenqing had already placed the knife on the table, and the coldness emanating from him had dissipated slightly. “You know my tastes very well.”
This wasn’t a question.
Si Huang had long known of his sharp mind, and boldly joked, “I investigated you.”
“These things can’t be investigated,” Dou Wenqing exposed her lie.
Si Huang subtly noticed even the slightest changes in his expression, realizing that Second Master Dou wasn’t angry about it; in fact, he seemed quite satisfied.
“Based on analysis of various sources.”
“Since you can analyze my preferences,” Second Master Dou’s question came without warning, “then you should know what I hate most, and what your reasons are for knowingly violating it?”
At the airport, several Asian men walked out, creating an unspeakable aura that put pressure on those around them.
Yu Xi immediately recognized the man at the front as Mr. Qin, whom he was waiting for.
“Boss, just wait for the surprise!” came a voice from one of the men beside Mr. Qin.
Yu Xi: “…”
Could the surprise this man was talking about be Si Huang? If so, it would be a shock!
There weren’t many Asians at the airport to begin with, and with Guo Chengxiong and his group intentionally looking for people, they easily spotted Yu Xi and Chai Liang.
“Hey!” Guo Chengxiong waved to Yu Xi.
Yu Xi took a deep breath and stepped forward, saying to the handsome man at the front of the group, “Mr. Qin, the car is ready.”
“Where’s Si Huang?” Guo Chengxiong asked. “Is she waiting somewhere to secretly surprise the boss?”
Qin Fan’s eyes flickered upon hearing this.
Yu Xi: “…Si Huang had something to do.”
He really didn’t know how to lie properly. Thinking about the relationship between Qin Fan and Si Huang, he felt it was better not to be clever and make up excuses.
“Hmm? He even sent me a message saying he would pick me up from the airport.” Guo Chengxiong narrowed his eyes.
Yu Xi endured Qin Fan’s suddenly intense gaze, maintaining an elite-like cold expression, and said, “He just ran into a friend, so he saw him off first.”
“A friend?” Qin Fan’s gaze shifted to Chai Liang.
Chai Liang, who had originally intended to sneak away, had to stop and politely called out, “Master Qin.”
Qin Fan felt he had seen this person somewhere before, so he thought carefully.
Under his intense gaze, Chai Liang’s back was sweating profusely.
Then, he realized just how terrifying a man’s anger could be.
“Dou Wenqing’s man?” Qin Fan’s voice was so low it could kill.
Chai Liang moved his lips and nodded with difficulty.
