“It’s fine.”

As soon as he said those two words, his slender and fair hand suddenly reached over. Ming Qianye was stunned and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but she resisted the urge. His fingers suddenly stopped in front of her.

Glancing over, she then realized that there was a plate of red rice rolls in front of her.

The man quickly retracted his hand and calmly held the teacup, continuing to drink his tea.

Ming Qianye ate quietly. Her movements were elegant and comfortable. She didn’t greet Long Yao.

Long Yao broke out in a cold sweat. He carefully glanced at Shen Tinglan, only to find that he was still sitting quietly. However, his unfathomable gaze was fixed on Ming Qianye. His eyes were probing and filled with imperceptible interest, direct yet calm…

He couldn’t help but admire Powerful Qian. Under such immense pressure, she could still remain so calm and enjoy her breakfast calmly.

From the looks of it, she probably didn’t hear what he said just now. Otherwise, how could this female devil not attack him?

Relieved, Long Yao retracted his gaze and glanced at Shen Tinglan. He suddenly lowered his voice and leaned over. “Fourth Brother, you think Powerful Qian didn’t hear what I said just now, right?”

As he asked, he carefully glanced at Ming Qianye, and his breathing unconsciously relaxed.

The Devil didn’t pay any attention to him. His gaze seemed to have calmed down as it quietly stopped on Ming Qianye.

Perhaps because his gaze was too focused, Ming Qianye raised her gaze and glanced at him. Facing his unfathomable eyes, she had never probed too much. She quickly looked away, fixing her gaze on Long Yao’s face.

“He’s not interested in women. Could it be that he’s interested in you? Call your cousin over another day. I want to get to know her too.”

Long Yao was immediately shocked. He stared at Ming Qianye in panic. “You heard everything?”

She really heard everything?

“He criticizes women and says that he likes pure and gentle women, but he has been with countless women. You are just like a shameless scumbag, no different from the others. You can’t say otherwise,”

Ming Qianye sneered and said coldly. The fire in her eyes burned furiously.

“I… I’m telling the truth… Who doesn’t like gentle, innocent, kind, and considerate people?”

Long Yao naturally retaliated indignantly.

A coldness surfaced in Ming Qianye’s eyes. Just as she was about to continue retorting, she suddenly felt a long arm on her shoulder. A cold fingertip gently grabbed her shoulder, and a low and gentle voice brushed past her ears like a cold wind.

“I don’t like them.”

Huh?

Surprised by his sudden words, Ming Qianye glanced at him and saw that his black eyes were as calm as the sea.

“I never realized I appeared so poor to you,”

Ming Qianye frowned slightly and said indifferently.

“You’re not bad.”

Shen Tinglan said in a low and hoarse voice, “Their taste is too unique. There’s a certain difference between their views and that of all humans.”

When Long Yao heard this, he immediately protested, “What? Fourth Brother… she clearly is what I said. Look at how stern she is now… F*ck, you’re even insinuating that I’m not human… F*ck… I fell into a trap… I’m telling the truth. Look at the two of you. How do you look like a couple? We’re all friends. We can’t just live together like this. It’ll be awkward for everyone later and we can’t play together…”

Compared to Long Yao who was indignant, Shen Tinglan was much calmer. His gaze towards Long Yao was somewhat obscure.

“Go to Nigeria.”

Long Yao was stunned. “What? Nigeria… Isn’t that… where Chang Chuan went? I’m still on vacation…”

“Vacation’s canceled,”

Shen Tinglan replied calmly.

“What, I… I’m not surrendering! Just because I told the truth just now? Fourth Brother, you’re too cruel. You actually had the heart to send me to Africa for Powerful Qian… I refuse…”

Long Yao cried in protest!

The half-month vacation that he had painstakingly earned was canceled just like that. He was even sent to Africa to do manual labor!

He had not taken a vacation for almost two years. Where was the justice in this world!

What an evil capitalist! He hated him so much!

Those bastards actually asked him to do this. Why was he so naive and cute at that time? He actually thought that the ten million yuan was easy to get, but he actually foolishly rushed over to be a lobbyist?

Fourth Brother clearly treated Powerful Qian differently. The buddies had grown up together and had been taught a lesson by Powerful Qian before. They had always treated Powerful Qian as their own buddy…

But now, Big Brother suddenly extended his claws to his younger brother. Not only did they want to date, but they also wanted to get married!

Was there anything more terrifying than this?

Long Yao’s mind was in a mess. He retreated with a broken heart. He was afraid that if he didn’t retreat soon, he would be beaten up!

…

Only Shen Tinglan and Ming Qianye were left in the dining room. The atmosphere seemed to have become inexplicably silent.

“Don’t take it to heart.”

As the Devil’s voice fell, another plate of Siew Mai dumplings appeared in front of him.

Ming Qianye was stunned for a moment. It took her a few seconds to understand what he meant.

The Devil seemed a little abnormal today. He even tried to comfort her. He even stood up for her just now.

Ming Qianye’s eyes flickered. She hesitated for a moment and finally couldn’t help but say in a low voice, “Actually, perhaps they’re right to be worried. Our relationship seems to be very strange… Senior, I don’t understand why you agreed. You clearly know that we… Hmm!”

However, Ming Qianye didn’t manage to continue because before she could finish her sentence, a dumpling had already been stuffed into her mouth. Moreover, the Devil’s ice-cold demonic claws had already slapped her head. His five fingers gave her so much pain that she shrunk her neck. Her starry eyes darkened as she frowned and glared at him.

She had no doubt that the Devil would cut her up in the next moment.

Ming Qianye was a little regretful. Why did she care if he was dead or alive last night and not let him burn like a fool, so she could bully him now?

Shen Tinglan finally retracted his strength. His cold hand caressed her head, and his calm voice sounded sinister.

“No other family is more suitable than our Shen and Ming families for a marriage alliance. I don’t have the energy to find someone else, if you insist on a reason.”

This answer…

He was really casual. He was too lazy to understand other women, so he pulled her along to make up the numbers. He probably knew that she wouldn’t try to control him and he could do whatever he wanted.

“Your thinking is very dangerous…”

Ming Qianye reached out and pushed away the claws on her head.

Shen Tinglan’s eyes instantly darkened. An inexplicable chill assaulted her, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

Facing his gloomy eyes, Ming Qianye’s cold face froze for a moment. In the next moment, she could only reach out and grab his wrist, pressing his claws on her head again…
