Chapter 238 - 237: The Strong Attract Each Other

Xiao Qimo: “…”

He should have given up hope long ago!

Perhaps sensing Xiao Qimo’s shift in mood, Lu Mian pouted slightly and said, “But I also took a liking to this style on first sight, it’s quite suitable for you.”

Xiao Qimo: “…”@@novelbin@@

Alright, he was once again filled with hope for life!

Within a few sentences, the man’s emotions had changed several times.

Lu Mian, lost in thought, didn’t notice any of this.

Sitting on the sofa, with her chin propped up, she spoke with a tone seeking approval: “Director Qimo, Yuanyuan is my friend, and she’s quite timid. If you don’t have any business, please don’t disturb her.”

“Hmm?” Xiao Qimo’s fingers, which were holding a tie, paused, and his forehead twitched slightly.

“You and Yuanyuan… are not suited,” Lu Mian said bluntly, too bluntly.

Ye Jinwen leaned out halfway from behind, then stiffened suddenly, slipping and bumping his chin on the desk, ouch!

Brother Qi with Sui Yuan?

What kind of divine thought process does Little Mianmian have?!

He looked towards Xiao Qimo in a panic, feeling intense sympathy for him. With all that Brother Qi had done, he surely must have been misunderstood by Little Mianmian.

Brother Qi, you must clarify things like this early on!

How could Xiao Qimo not understand? He chuckled, tilting his head to loosen his tie, elegant in motion yet exuding danger.

The tall and upright figure took a step forward, leaned slightly, and made eye contact with Lu Mian on the sofa.

“Get out,” he said in a calm voice.

On the other side, Mo Nie paused while holding his phone, his expressionless face revealing a hint of understanding. He had expected it; this time Mr. Mo had been very gentlemanly, using only the words “get out,” without saying “scram.”

However, as he pondered, Ye Jinwen urgently pulled him towards the office door.

“What are you waiting for, Brother Qi asked us to leave!”

?

Mo Nie followed out somewhat mystified, looking back at the office: “Wasn’t it that girl?”

“You mean Lu Mian? Nie Nie, you are Brother Qi’s Shadow Guard, and there are some things I should remind you of.” Ye Jinwen took a deep breath, lowering his voice, “You can mess with anyone you want, just don’t mess with Lu Mian! Remember that!”

“Don’t understand.” Mo Nie, like a block of wood, indifferent to persuasion.

“Look, Brother Qi is taken with her!” He gestured inward with his chin, “The assassin we were told to track recently, it was all to protect Lu Mian.”

“…”

Mo Nie’s expressionless face showed a hint of struggle to accept this.

“Right? I didn’t see it coming either. Maybe it’s the law of attraction between the strong.”

“She’s strong?” Mo Nie found it even less likely.

“You’ll find out in time.”

Ye Jinwen knew Mo Nie would need some time to accept this and didn’t say more. It was normal for Brother Qi’s confidants who had followed him for many years to find recent changes in him strange.

Should they return to Jinjing, who knows what others would say, it would likely cause an earth-shattering sensation.

He didn’t dwell on it any longer but took out his phone and started tapping on something.

Mo Nie couldn’t help but ask, “Ye, what are you checking?”

“Ah, I’m checking how much that tie costs!”

Mo Nie: Really boring.

Inside the office.

Xiao Qimo braced himself with both hands on the sofa, enclosing Lu Mian within a tiny space.

The girl, uncharacteristically tense, went against her usual devil-may-care attitude.

Xiao Qimo repeated her earlier statement: “You said Sui Yuan and I aren’t compatible?”

Lu Mian heard a hint of grinding teeth in his gentle tone, her eyes narrowing slightly, she coolly said, “Better to prevent trouble before it happens.”

What a way to prevent trouble before it happens.

Xiao Qimo took a deep breath, leaning even closer, nearly face-to-face with Lu Mian.

His deep eyes locked onto the girl as he said emphatically, “There’s something I need to make clear to you.”
