Yan Xia pushed against his chest with one hand in resistance.
"Are you still not going to let me get out of the car?" What was the point of this pointless entanglement?
Lu Qianzhou still held her in his arms and refused to let go. His voice came from above Yan Xia's head. "Since you don't trust me, I'll find evidence to prove myself to you. Until then, I'll take whatever revenge you want to take on me. You can do whatever you like! But on one condition: stay away from Fang Jiangyi. Don't be with him anymore. Don't forget your relationship with him. He's not a good person."
What he said was exactly the same as what Fang Jiangyi had said. Fang Jiangyi had told her to stay away from Lu Qianzhou, saying that Lu Qianzhou was a deep - scheming person and not a good guy. Now Lu Qianzhou was saying the same thing to her. No wonder the two were sworn enemies.
Yan Xia tried to be patient, but her patience with Lu Qianzhou had been completely worn out. She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.
"I'll say it one last time. Stop the car and let me out!"
Lu Qianzhou remained unmoved. So Yan Xia suddenly broke free with the hand that had been holding the pen and quickly wriggled out of his arms. The sharp tip of the pen stabbed straight at his shoulder.
The tip of the pen pierced through his clothes and into his body. Yan Xia used all her strength. She didn't know how deep the tip had gone in, but Lu Qianzhou didn't even change his expression. He just stared at her quietly.
It was not until Yan Xia pulled the pen back that he gasped.
He had just promised that before he found evidence to prove that he had nothing to do with the matters of Cheng Hua and Cheng Yanxi, he would take whatever revenge Yan Xia wanted to take on him. He had never lied to her, so the promise had taken effect the moment he said it.
Blood was seeping faintly through the fabric of his shoulder. Lu Qianzhou looked down at his shoulder and then met Yan Xia's defensive and determined eyes. He then made a compromise.
"Remember to stay away from Fang Jiangyi when you get back. I'll be waiting for you at home." Lu Qianzhou's hand brushed past her ear. "Otherwise, the next time we meet, I'll ask you for a breakup fee of ten billion."
He was referring to their illusory bet agreement.
Yan Xia disgustedly slapped his hand away and silently cursed him for being childish in her heart.
Lu Qianzhou finally lowered the partition in the middle of the car. By this time, the car was very close to his residence.
"Stop the car." Lu Qianzhou's tone was a bit cold.
The driver did as he was told. The assistant also secretly peeked at the situation in the back through the rear - view mirror. They couldn't hear anything in the front. He had long heard that this woman was the boss's Achilles' heel. He was a bit worried that Lu Qianzhou would get the short end of the stick and be defeated by a woman.
As soon as the car stopped, Yan Xia immediately opened the door and got out. The scenery on the side of the road was very familiar. She used to pass by here every day.
But she had no mood to enjoy the scenery. After getting out of the car, she tightened her coat and strode forward with a straight face.
Lu Qianzhou told the assistant and the driver to get out of the car and drove the car himself at an extremely slow speed. He followed Yan Xia step by step and honked the horn from time to time to signal that if she changed her mind, she could get in the car and he would take her back at any time.
Yan Xia was extremely impatient and walked faster and faster. This man was simply crazy. Why was he still following her at this time?
She simply took out her phone to check the ride - hailing app, planning to book a car online to go back.
Before the ride - hailing app was even downloaded, a car slowly drove by on the opposite street and stopped, honking at Yan Xia.
Yan Xia didn't notice the car on the opposite side at first. It was not until the other side honked at her several times that she turned her head to look. The car window on the opposite side had already been lowered. Shangguan Yao poked his head out of the window and waved at her.
Yan Xia immediately put away her phone, crossed the road, and walked towards Shangguan Yao.
From afar, Lu Qianzhou saw Shangguan Yao's face, and his expression darkened completely. He got out of the car and followed her across the road. He just parked the car in the middle of the road so boldly. Fortunately, there weren't many cars passing by here, so there was no traffic jam.
"Cheng Yanxia, don't get in his car!" Lu Qianzhou roared behind her.
Yan Xia turned a deaf ear. She took a few steps to the car. She originally planned to sit in the front passenger seat, but when she got closer, she found that there was a little girl sitting in the front passenger seat. She looked very young and energetic, clearly a newbie who had just entered society.
She moved very quickly. She opened the door of the back seat, got in, and closed the door. The whole action was completed in less than five seconds.
Shangguan Yao drove the car away before Lu Qianzhou could come and block it. By just 0.01 seconds, the car almost brushed past Lu Qianzhou.
Yan Xia looked back with a lingering fear. Lu Qianzhou was standing in the middle of the road with a gloomy expression.
"You're really brave. Aren't you afraid that the Lu family will come after you for revenge if you hit him?"
Shangguan Yao drove the car steadily. "I'm very good at drifting. I wouldn't drive like this if I wasn't sure. You looked back so eagerly. I thought you were afraid that I would hurt Lu Qianzhou."
Yan Xia laughed.
"Shangguan, we're in a cooperative relationship now. There's no need to deliberately say such things to test me, right?"
Shangguan Yao just smiled without saying a word.
"By the way, how did you know I was here? Or was it just a coincidence?" Yan Xia asked.
Shangguan Yao said, "Fang Jiangyi called me. Since it was me who persuaded you to come back to the country, I naturally have to ensure your safety. I guessed that Lu Qianzhou was probably taking you back to his home, so I came here on the off - chance."
Unexpectedly, he had really run into them.
After the brief conversation, Yan Xia then remembered that there was another person in the car. The little girl was very curious about her and kept stealing glances at her through the rear - view mirror. Their eyes happened to meet in the rear - view mirror. The little girl immediately averted her gaze and didn't look at her anymore.
Once upon a time, she had also been such a shy and inexperienced little girl. Now seeing her was like seeing her former self.
Yan Xia curved her lips. "Aren't you going to introduce her to me? Your girlfriend?"
Shangguan Yao immediately jumped out to clarify.
"You can take medicine randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. She's a new girl in our police station. I may be old, but I'm not such a beast that I would make a move on a girl like this."
Yan Xia finally couldn't help laughing.
Shangguan Yao was still so humorous. Putting aside the possibility that he might be using her, it was still very relaxing to be with him.
"Who said I'm a kid? I'm already twenty - two. I'm not a kid anymore!" The little girl immediately jumped out to introduce herself to Yan Xia. "Hello, my name is Jiang Nian. You can just call me Yaoyao. I just wanted to see what you look like out of curiosity today, so I came with the boss to pick you up."
It was a very nice name.
Yan Xia said, "I guess you were in poor health when you were a kid, right?"
Jiang Nian never expected to be guessed right. She was extremely surprised and turned around, lying on the seat to talk to Yan Xia.
"You're so amazing! How did you know!" Jiang Nian was very excited. "It's because I was in poor health and always took medicine when I was a kid that they gave me the nickname Yaoyao."
Actually, she also had another nickname, Xinxin, which was the character "xin" at the bottom of "nian". But only her family members called her that.
She was too lively. It seemed like she had endless things to say. Sitting in the front passenger seat was not safe, and she kept wriggling around. She was overly lively.
Shangguan Yao was very headache - stricken. He originally wanted to seize the opportunity to pry information from Yan Xia.
"Jiang Nian, sit still."
