Xuan Mohan left work early again today, missing her terribly.
He planned to pick her up after work and then pick up the children from school.
This made Li An speechless.
"I'll wait for you in the underground parking lot." After sending the message to Lan Qianqian, he leaned against the car, waiting with a happy mood.
Not long after
"Mohan." Ji Anlan, her face filled with anxiety, hurried over in high heels, grabbed Xuan Mohan's arm, and hugged him.
She wasn't unaware of her boundaries, yet she still approached him.
Xuan Mohan's brows furrowed with disgust. Just as he was about to shake her off, he heard her say, "Grandma is sick."
Xuan Mohan's raised hand paused. He immediately went to the driver's seat, and Ji Anlan quickly got into the passenger seat. Soon, the car disappeared.
Behind them, Lan Qianqian watched it all silently.
"He never lets other women get close, yet he didn't shake off Ji Anlan."
"He said the passenger seat was her exclusive spot, and now another woman is sitting there."
Having asked her mother to pick up the children from kindergarten, Lan Qianqian walked alone on the roadside aimlessly, her shadow stretching infinitely under the streetlights.
The night was indeed a bit chilly…
As she walked, two more shadows appeared on the ground…
Lan Qianqian was startled awake and immediately turned her head.
She saw two tall, burly men, each holding a stick resting on their shoulders.
Seeing the woman turn around, they immediately revealed a sinister smile. kanShuWu.xia
"Who are you? What do you want?" Lan Qianqian asked cautiously, backing away.
Compared to the young girl's panicked expression, the two men were much more excited.
"You don't need to know who we are. Do you know what we're going to do? Hehe!"
Seeing the men's smiles, Lan Qianqian was terrified, but she tried to hold on.
"What are you going to do?"
The men's eyes scanned the woman's legs.
"We... we're going to break your slender, fair legs first, and then... sell you to a remote mountain village to have children for someone's simple-minded son. Then, we two brothers will take the money and go have fun, hahaha!"
Lan Qianqian couldn't control herself and fell to the ground. She looked around in a panic, realizing she had walked onto a deserted road without knowing it.
Now, even if she shouted, no one would come to save her…
But she still crawled backward, absolutely unwilling to fall into their hands.
If she fell into their hands, she didn't know what she could look forward to in her future life.
"Don't move. Be good, and we'll be gentler later." After saying that, both of them burst into laughter.
This was probably the gentlest yet most cruel thing Lan Qianqian had ever heard.
Shaking her head, Lan Qianqian forced herself to stand up. She didn't know how long she had run.
"Ah!"
A stone on the road tripped her and sent her sprawling.
Lying on the ground, Lan Qianqian no longer had the strength to stand up.
At this moment, the two men seemed to have lost interest in playing. One of them took the thick, long stick from his shoulder, smirked, and raised both hands high.
One meter away…
Half a meter…
Ten centimeters…
One centimeter…
Lan Qianqian closed her eyes, resigned to her fate.
"Bang~" The stick fell to the ground.
"Which son of a bitch ruined my good deed?" The two men glared ferociously at the newcomer.
At this moment, Lan Qianqian realized she had been saved and exhaled in relief, her body going limp.
"The person who's going to teach you a lesson."
Without further ado, the newcomer engaged them in a fight. Not long after,
"Clang~" The sticks clattered to the ground.
The two men howled and ran away, supporting each other.
"Two good-for-nothings." A woman watching this scene on a monitor frowned with dissatisfaction.
"But there will be plenty of time." The woman's lips curved into a sinister arc.
"Are you alright?" A worried voice came from beside her.
Lan Qianqian came back to her senses. The man was wearing a casual white suit, dressed casually, but the fabric of his clothes looked excellent.
He was tall, with a well-proportioned physique, and his appearance was… as always, sunny.
"Senior."
…………
"How was it? Weren't you scared just now?" Qin Haojie asked Lan Qianqian in the passenger seat.
"Senior, I'm fine."
Although she was fine, Lan Qianqian's tone was not cheerful. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and it was impossible to say she wasn't scared.
"Don't be out alone at night next time, especially in secluded, deserted places."
As he steered the car, Qin Haojie spoke in a gentle tone.
"I know, Senior." Lan Qianqian was very well-behaved at this moment.
Soon, the car stopped at an old residential area.
Looking at the dilapidated complex, a hint of heartache rose in Qin Haojie's eyes.
Actually, Lan Qianqian had asked Xia Han to find a place closer to the city center, but closer places were more expensive, and good houses were even more so.
Thus, they could only settle for older houses.
Moreover, this house wasn't that old; it had been renovated before. It was just that they were used to luxurious houses and didn't want to wrong her, so they thought it was shabby.
"Thank you, Senior, for today. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
They had already added each other on WeChat in the car.
"Sure, you're treating, and I'm always free." His tone carried a hint of indulgence.
Unfortunately, Lan Qianqian didn't notice it.
Watching Lan Qianqian's graceful figure disappear into the residential area, she was still as beautiful and captivating as ever, stirring his heart.
Today, he had only come out to try his luck and hadn't expected to actually meet her. Fortunately, he had appeared in time; otherwise…
A sense of lingering fear washed over him. But did this mean they were destined to be together? Thinking this, a smile slowly bloomed on Qin Haojie's face.
