Chapter 959: Green with Envy

Back to Chapter List
Even though Qin Shao had an exceptionally thick skin, he couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed and managed to say with a dry smile, "Of course I'm specifically looking out for you—besides, I'm here to protect your safety, acting as your personal bodyguard, and completely for free!" "Bodyguards? Do I really need them?" Liu Su said with confidence. "All the top talents from the Tian Li Sect have already joined the newly established bodyguard company. I've got no less than twenty elite experts following me every day!" "Elite experts? With just a little flick of my finger, I could have your twenty top performers wiped out entirely," Qin Shao remarked with a sniff. Liu Su, clearly a highly intelligent and perceptive woman, quickly grasped the key point in his words and furrowed her brows, "So, are there even more formidable people targeting me? Are they practitioners of cultivation—or someone else entirely?" "Qin said plainly, 'They're cultivators. Because of me, they're now targeting people close to me—already had setbacks before. Now they've chosen you as their primary target. As soon as I heard this, I immediately came to the capital. If they want to do anything to you, they'll have to ask me first!' The beautiful senior student was reasonably satisfied with this answer, gave him a graceful, slightly disdainful look, and murmured, 'I always thought you'd come over of your own accord. Are the cultivators really that formidable? Do I need to come with you and hide somewhere?' This time, Qin responded with confidence, 'No, I'm widely recognized as the top cultivator in the realm. Though they all refuse to admit it, that's a fact. With me protecting you, you're safe!' While they were talking, his hands remained busy, continuously gliding over the smooth, silk-like skin of the beautiful senior student. As time went on, Liu Su's breathing naturally grew more rapid, and her body temperature rose accordingly. "Ugh, stop being so troublesome! This is my office, isn't it? What if someone walks in? That would be terribly awkward!" she said, her voice trembling. "What's there to be afraid of? You're the top leader of this entire building—how could anyone dare walk in without knocking?" Qin Shao continued to act up, and he most certainly wasn't ready to give up so easily. The beautiful senior couldn't help but softly huff, "Such a bad boy, you're either here to protect me or just to enjoy the view. If you truly care about me, then let me be your woman—why keep teasing me like this, yet never take the final step?" Qin Shao's expression tightened. He thought to himself, how truly disappointing his personal skills had been—being a top-tier suitor, he had charmed several exceptional women, yet he still frequently left the girls with lingering complaints. That was indeed a failure. He gave a light chuckle. "You're so eager, aren't you? How about we just do it now?" "No, the office is fine!" The beautiful senior girl immediately declined, huffing, "At the very least, we should find a luxury hotel with a soft, spacious bed. Then we'd have a glass of red wine to set the mood, and then…." "Alright, let's go to the hotel right now!" "No, she's at work, isn't she!" "What do you want me to do, exactly?" "...” Qin had never been someone who thought about things from a practical, ground-level perspective—so naturally, he never made the most basic mistakes. "It's time we headed home," he pointed to the digital clock on the wall. "I usually leave only after dark, since I have so many tasks to attend to during the day." The beautiful senior student, while straightening her disheveled outerwear, added, "How pitiful! The staff get paid double for overtime, yet as a manager, I simply can't expect to be paid for my own overtime!" Qin shrugged and said, "Once your side stabilizes, why not merge your operations into the Da Qin Group? They're currently short on manpower, and once we send over a team of top talent, you'll no longer have to manage everything yourself!" The senior student immediately agreed without hesitation: "That sounds great—I can then step back and take on a more hands-off role, or even completely step away and let them handle all the day-to-day details!" Qin was just about to praise her when his phone rang—he checked the screen and saw it was Wei Qingtian's number. Is your father-in-law a dog person? With such a sharp nose, he’s already called me just a short while after I arrived in Beijing. It’s certain that the news of his coming to Beijing wasn’t leaked by any intelligence department—no matter how formidable the secret organizations within the Chinese nation are, they couldn’t achieve such a level of secrecy. Qin Shao has arrived on foot, as if he were stepping through the air, leaving absolutely no trace. If it were any other call, he’d simply hang up without hesitation; but Fei Qingtian’s call—he’d definitely answer. “Hello, Grandfather, I’m so eager to see my beloved grandson-in-law again, hehe,” said Qin Shao, a rather self-serving opening line, yet he felt no awkwardness in his words. “Your grandson-in-law, so brilliant and invincible, is actually here in Beijing now… cough, just arrived, right? Yes, yes, I’ll go see you right away!” Upon hearing that he was in Beijing, Grandfather immediately grew furious: “Then why haven’t you come to see me? Do you expect me to go all the way to visit you?” After hanging up, he sighed and told Liu Su, "My friend has already dominated the cultivation realm, yet Grandfather Wei still speaks to me as if scolding a grandson. Honestly, who can blame him—he's the elder after all!" "You were his grandson to begin with; your daughter-in-law is just as much a grandson," Liu Su said with no courtesy. "Oh!" Half an hour later, a luxury car arrived at the entrance of Wei's estate. It was Liu Su's personal vehicle. Without Qin Feng sitting in the passenger seat, even if the car were twice as expensive, it still wouldn't have made it here. After the engine was turned off, the beautiful junior sister expressed her concern, "Should I really go in with you? Is it really necessary?" "Of course," Qin said with a smile, "You've asked this question several times now. I've said it's appropriate, and it's appropriate. You really thought you were just here as a driver, haven't you? Besides, my purpose for coming to Beijing is to protect you. You must stay within my sight—only then will you be safe." "Alright," he said, "since you're insistent, I suppose I have nothing more to say." Liu Su finally opened the car door. The two of them stepped down together, and the beautiful senior naturally linked her arm with his, walking side by side into the main entrance.
