Chapter 2

Only after receiving a call from Qin Liang did Qin Ma finally feel at ease, and she insisted on giving countless reminders before she was willing to hang up the phone. Just before ending the call, she added, "Remember to send me the address of Changfeng Company."

Ji Changfeng answered, "What is it?"

Qin Liang has already made plans to take a nap down here. She is not afraid of anything else, but she worries that in such a damp place, she might wake up covered in rashes tomorrow morning. However, it seems that she has no other choice; the well is quite deep, and she thinks it would be rather difficult to climb out like this.

He works so hard every day while you are lazy; I know you definitely won't cook. I will make some soup for him another day and send it over. Please send me his address.

Of course, she only harbored these thoughts in her heart, yet on the surface, she still wore a bright smile and gritted her teeth to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Ji, please take care."

What happened? Qin Liang asked in confusion

Perhaps it was the gossip stirring within, Qin Liang immediately perked up his ears to listen carefully for something.

Qin Liang was taken aback and gritted his teeth, saying: "It's not very convenient." Is he still trying to continue to take advantage of the situation?

Qin Liang stood up with great excitement, perhaps having sat for too long, her legs went numb, and she suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground. Ji Changfeng heard a heavy "bang" and leaned out to look at her, slightly curling the corners of his mouth: "Don't you want to come up?"

Qin Liangxin felt a surge of joy in her heart and quickly responded in a loud voice: "I am here—"

Ji Changfeng nodded and said, "Call your mother, she is very worried. She was almost in tears when she called me just now"

All that could be heard on the other end of the phone was a series of beeping sounds

Qin Liang only realized after climbing up that he was actually supporting her hips, her cheeks flushed with anger, "You pervert! Taking advantage of me at this moment! Old lecher!"

Xu Li shot her a glance and pulled her over to the computer: "Yes, yes, take a look and see if this is you."

Ring City Headquarters

Despite being shrouded by the night and obscured by a thin mist, Qin Liang recognized Ji Changfeng at a glance. It was truly the first time she was so happy to see him. Perhaps overwhelmed with joy, she grinned and greeted him: "What a coincidence, I can see you here!"

Ji Changfeng said nothing, took out his phone, and handed it to her, "Make a call first."

Suddenly, a cool male voice came from above, "Qin Liang."

A faint chill crept up her calves. Qin Liang lowered her head under the dim moonlight and saw several blood-red marks on her fair and tender skin. Gritting her teeth against the pain, she looked around and realized that she seemed to have fallen into a well on the street. Instantly, a feeling of helplessness washed over her; who could possibly rescue her at this late hour?

Fortunately, this is only half repaired; there is a small stool below that seems to have been left by the maintenance personnel during the day. Not far away is the sewer, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around herself as a chill rose. It was then that she noticed a decaying smell seemingly emanating from her surroundings

As the night deepens and the temperature gradually drops, a chill begins to settle in Qin Liang's heart, causing him to instinctively tighten his arms around himself

She was at a loss whether to shout or remain silent, her hand holding the phone suspended in the air. Suddenly, the phone vibrated, and before Qin Liang could see who it was, a warm hand brushed past her palm

You may go ahead and attend to your matters; I will head up first. Thank you for today.

Ji Changfeng stared at her for a while, and it was vaguely apparent how reluctant she was when she said those words. Suddenly, he became a bit interested: "Aren't you going to invite me up to sit for a while?"

Ji Changfeng waited for the person on the other end to hang up the phone before rubbing his aching brow. Qin Liang was also unsure how he noticed this small detail. It is said that one can determine whether a man is a gentleman by observing whether he hangs up on others first.

The two individuals found themselves alone for the first time in a confined space, and it was also the first occasion for Ji Changfeng to observe Qin Liang closely. The young girl's tender, rosy cheeks appeared particularly shy under the bright moonlight. While she may not be described as a beauty that could make fish sink or birds fall, she was certainly pleasing to the eye

You go up first, I will support you

However, she saw Qin Liang with a pale face, looking at her with anger, gritting his teeth and saying: "Xin, Qi!"

Qin Liang opened the door and got out of the car, politely saying goodbye

Mr. Ji

Qin Liang helplessly shook the black-screened phone in his hand: "It's broken."

Qin Liang could only hear Ji Changfeng's faint "hm" but did not notice the dark expression on his face.

Ji Changfeng glanced at Qin Liang, who was eavesdropping nearby, and said lightly: "No, there is something going on today"

Ji Changfeng slightly nodded, pressing the accelerator as the car sped away. Qin Liang looked at the dark alley before him, helplessly curling his lips, took a deep breath, and stepped forward, quickly disappearing into the night.

Then she saw him elegantly take off his coat and climb down the ladder step by step. Before long, a tall figure appeared beside her, his pitch-black eyes darker than the night itself, staring at her for a moment. Qin Liang, feeling a bit shy, greeted him: "HI"

Qin Liang hesitated as he held the phone, gazing at his handsome profile, and couldn't help but sigh that life is indeed unfair; some people are simply given the best, all of his affection.

Ji Changfeng slightly nodded, and when his gaze swept over the photo on the screen, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly

Ji Changfeng, not knowing where he had found the ladder, slowly lowered it down and said, "Come up"

Qin Liang glanced at Ji Changfeng, who was leaning back in his seat with his eyes tightly closed, and quickly said: "Alright, alright, I will hang up first"

Before long, the phone rang again. Qin Liang could clearly hear a girl on the other end of the line, "I thought I could see you today, what a pity"

Qin Liang did not know what the person on the other side said. Ji Changfeng rubbed his aching temples and said lightly, "Hmm, not going." Then he hung up.

Qin Liang forcefully pulled her towards the computer and exclaimed, "Look at the good deed you have done!"

"Are you really not coming? Are you secretly dating?" The girl's voice was soft, making it very pleasant to listen to

Qin Liang quietly stuck out her tongue, little did she know

Qin Liang merely glanced at her and said, "Oh, a model weighing 150 jin?"

All the colleagues around were startled by her. Xu Li patted her chest and poked her hard, saying: "You little brat! You scared me to death!"

"It's nothing." Qin's mother still can't quite believe that her daughter has actually married a wealthy husband. "What has Changfeng been busy with lately?"

Is the girl next to you part of a buy one get one free offer

Qin Liang hurriedly got up, and just as he was about to explain, he heard him say again: "Then I will come down"

Qin Liang was taken aback, and in an instant, he gasped in surprise. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt his feet give way, and his body leaned forward uncontrollably

The next day, as Qin Liang just entered the company, she saw her colleagues gathered around a computer. She approached them suspiciously and asked, "What are you looking at?"

At this moment, Qin Liang looked helplessly at the disassembled phone in his hand, which was the cheapest, most affordable, and most durable so-called fighter jet currently available.

Xinqi carefully studied the photo and exclaimed: "It's quite well taken! Do you think someone might ask me to be a model?"

On the other end of the phone, Qin's mother spoke in a gentle voice: "Are you coming back for dinner tomorrow?"

The girl sighed and said regretfully, "Alright, I thought you were still angry. Since that's the case, let's get together again next time we have the chance"

What is the name of Changfeng's company?" Qin Ma continued to ask

Suddenly, a series of urgent phone rings shattered the tranquility of the night sky. Qin Liang answered, "Hello, Mom"

Qin Liang hurriedly scrolled down to check the comments, all of them were uniform.

Xinqi's expression darkened, "Qin Niang! Can't you refrain from bringing up my dark past?!"

Hello—Liang Liang—Liang Liang—what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!" Qin's mother hurriedly called out several times

Then, she heard Ji Changfeng say: "Well, I have already given the gift to Jun Cheng."

The moon is cool like water, and Qin Liang recalls the time when the two of them got married. There was no grand banquet, and she didn't even inform a single acquaintance. When Qin Liang was in university, a saying was quite popular: "If I don't marry you in the future, none of you are invited to my wedding." Fortunately, she didn't even hold a wedding.

As Qin Liang leaned in for a closer look, she suddenly felt that this silhouette seemed somewhat familiar. If she had any doubts about it being herself, then upon glancing at the figure beside her, she could almost certainly conclude that this person was indeed herself.

The crowd expressed their inability to assist

Dumplings (sleeping), how much is a bowl (evening)?

It seems to be called something like "Ring City," but I can't remember. Why are you asking this?" Qin Liang furrowed her brows, her small face slightly wrinkled.

A piercing scream cut through the vast sky

The loose and oversized sweater hangs down to the waist, the back is bare, revealing an infinite spring scenery. A pair of long legs comes into view, and Xu Li asks again, "Is this Xin Qi? This photo has been posted on Weibo, she has become famous."

Thank you

While several people in the secretary's office were gathered around the computer, engrossed in viewing a large photo of a bare back, a steady sound of footsteps approached from behind. The group immediately returned to their positions, yet no one bothered to close the photo on the screen

Qin Liang's expression grew increasingly unpleasant. At that moment, the culprit Xin Qi swaggered into the office and called out loudly: "Babies~"

Qin Qi looked at everyone with suspicion and asked, "What is wrong?"

Qin Liang hung up the phone and turned his head to look at him. One could hear his breathing steady and even, as if he had already fallen asleep

Ah

The night breeze in early spring always carries a hint of warmth, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating this city that never sleeps. The leaves along the road gently rustle and create a delicate sound, while the shadows of the trees sway gracefully. Qin Liang walks with a stagger, as this alley is long and dark; most girls would not dare to take this path. However, if one avoids this route, they would have to take a long detour along the main road. Qin Liang is quite bold and rather lazy, so she has grown accustomed to walking this way.

"What are you doing, speaking ill of me?" Qin Liang stuck out his tongue
