Given Tang Qing’s firm refusal to budge,
Zeng Rou shifted her focus to Lin Jiaxue.
Unfortunately,
it was to no avail.
Lin Jiaxue’s single comment, "I have enough clothes," dismissed Zeng Rou.
To avoid further ’hurt,’ Zeng Rou quickly changed the subject, "Jiaxue, what do you want? I can bring it back for you from Europe." She also threw the matter of the designs to the back of her mind.
Because she was just saying it for the sake of saying it.
Friendship.
It’s better not to mix it with business.
If Tang Qing’s designs were altered even slightly by her father’s company’s designers, Tang Qing would likely be unhappy, and she herself couldn’t be bothered to do this thankless task.
Upon hearing this,
Lin Jiaxue quickly shook her head.
"I don’t need anything brought back."
"Makeup, clothes, bags, don’t you want any of them? Don’t be frugal with me. Although your man is rich, he’s just a local tyrant; don’t be shy, we’re sisters," Zeng Rou pressed.
"But, I really don’t have any use for them. Just bring anything," Lin Jiaxue genuinely couldn’t think of anything she needed, nor could she see the appeal in brands like Chanel or Dior.
Ever since the Saudi Prince Ayman gifted her perfumes worth tens of thousands of dollars, which made Tang Qing uncomfortable, she had never used them again, stored them away, and planned not to use perfumes anymore.
A woman dresses for the one who pleases her.
She didn’t even want to touch what Tang Qing disliked.
"..."
Zeng Rou was speechless.
"Okay then, I’ll see if there are any unique, fun items when I’m there."
"Alright."
At this time,
the classmates had all left, and they also followed suit, leaving later. Over time, the girls knew Tang Qing’s personality well: he didn’t like joining in the hustle and bustle and preferred to leave after others were gone. They would likewise do the same even when Tang Qing wasn’t there.
After going downstairs,
Tang Qing rode his electric scooter.
"Tang Qing, aren’t you afraid of someone stealing your bike when you park it here?" Zeng Rou said, looking at Tang Qing pushing an electric bike out from under the tree at the entrance; this bike had become his tool for openly showing off his relationship.
"Who dares," Tang Qing said confidently.
Zeng Rou pouted and said, "That cocky?"
"Yes, my lock can’t be opened by ordinary thieves." Tang Qing’s bike, of course, didn’t use a normal lock. It was fitted directly with a password lock and was made of steel, along with protective measures.
The thieves trying to crack it,
if they used brute force,
would exhaust themselves. If the password entered is incorrect three times, it would lock for half an hour. During this period, a nine-digit password is needed before the correct password can be entered again.
The whole thing was just... a messed-up gadget.
It was something Tang Qing installed just to fool people.
"Next time I’ll just have someone carry it off," Zeng Rou resorted to the ’ultimate move’ used against all small vehicles.
"...Then you’d better wish him luck," Tang Qing scoffed.
Zeng Rou, quick-witted, suddenly realized something, "...you actually cheated, bringing a bodyguard to school."
"Rich and willful."
"..."
...
The next day.
The first day of the May Day holiday.
Tang Qing went again to the Gold Smelting Factory in the early hours of the morning, enjoyed the happiness of the working people, stacked gold bricks into a mountain, and then transported it to the Currency Clearing Center warehouse.
It was converted into billions of Asia Dollars.
Tang Qing had never experienced such a rate of money growth before. One word to describe it was: thrilling.
At ten in the morning,
The weather was clear, and the sun was brightly shining.
And these two phrases used in Summer just meant it was hot.
Tang Qing arrived at Pudong Airport.
Today, apart from Qin Shiqi and her sister,
there was also an aunt and a family of three from his uncle’s side; Lin Jiaxue’s parents and Tang Qing’s parents did not come, citing they were busy watching the store at home and were too lazy to run here. They would visit Tang Qing’s Seaview Villa next time they had a chance.
With so many people,
Tang Qing simply drove his RV over.
The RV’s interior was spacious, with a long sofa; squeezing in about ten people was easily manageable without feeling crowded.
"Brother!"
After a familiar call, Tang Qing saw Qin Shiqi toss her suitcase to her sister, Qin Shiyu, then dashed towards him, while Qin Shiyu, dragging two large suitcases, wore an expression that said she was used to her sister’s antics.
Stuck with a sister like that,
what more could she say?
Suddenly,
"Ouch!"
Qin Shiqi exclaimed in surprise.
It turned out, after only a few steps, someone had spilled water on the ground, causing him to slip and lunge forward, looking as if he was about to go down in full respect.
Tang Qing shook his head with a wry smile.
This cousin.
So absent-minded.
When would she change?
But he was quite touched. After a long time without seeing her, he actually missed Qin Shiqi’s constant nagging and complaining. Just now, Qin Shiqi had probably wanted to give him a hug.
Qin Shiqi was about twenty meters away from him.
However, for Tang Qing, there were many ways to prevent her from getting hurt, and he decisively chose the safest method. Immediately, he squinted his eyes, and his body’s origin energy was activated.
In an instant.
His brain entered overclock mode.
The surrounding scenes seemed to move in slow motion.
His legs started to exert force.
Tang Qing ran forward.
Time is relative, and that time was now.
Watching Qin Shiqi slowly descend, Tang Qing managed to run up to her quite composedly. The whole process was controlled within the range of human understanding; to outsiders, he just seemed to run a bit faster.
Upon closing the distance.
Tang Qing held Qin Shiqi’s outstretched arms, lifting her up while using nerve telekinesis to support her head to avoid snapping her neck. After ensuring that no other parts of Qin Shiqi would get injured, he then exited the mode.
The world slowed down.
It really wasn’t a comfortable thing; he still preferred the normal speed. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"Ah...."
A melodious, high-pitched voice echoed at the airport. Passersby gathered their gazes, and when they saw Tang Qing rushing up like a ghost and catching Qin Shiqi, a look of astonishment flashed through their eyes.
This young man.
Good skills.
Qin Shiqi’s entire face turned pale with fright.
She was shouting loudly.
Had she just gotten off the plane only to become an injured person? No way....
"Ah... ah..." Qin Shiqi was shouting when she suddenly realized she hadn’t made a full respect fall. Her expression froze, she found herself being helped up, her legs a bit wobbly.
"What’s with the screaming, be careful."
Only then did Qin Shiqi notice that it was Tang Qing who was supporting her.
She was a bit slow to catch on.
From so far away.
How had Tang Qing rushed over?
"You... I... Bro, you..." Qin Shiqi didn’t know how to ask.
"Stand up straight. Look at how scared you got, you can’t even speak clearly," Tang Qing let go of Qin Shiqi, and said with a laugh.
Qin Shiqi came back to her senses, touched her face, saw that it was not bruised, checked her clothes, which also seemed clean, then looked at Tang Qing’s face. Suddenly, she remembered what she had intended to do when she rushed over.
"Bro, where’s my gift?" Qin Shiqi spread her hands.
"..." Tang Qing was taken aback.
Looking at Tang Qing’s expression.
Qin Shiqi, pouting her lips, scolded; "Bro, you didn’t prepare it, did you? That’s really disappointing. I came all this way to see you, and you come to meet me empty-handed. Don’t you care about me at all? But seeing that you just saved your cute little sister, I’ll forgive you."
"..."
Tang Qing rolled his eyes.
Her affection wasn’t about delivering a warm hug after all.
It was the same old Qin Shiqi.
"Sis, are you alright?" Qin Shiyu jogged up, concerned.
Qin Shiqi’s carefree nature instantly dispelled the fear of falling, and she said cheerfully, "What could possibly be wrong with me? At worst, I could lie down and go back; in a few days, I’ll be fine again."
"You’re a girl," Qin Shiyu muttered.
"Don’t mind that, it’s just a saying," Qin Shiqi waved her hands cheerfully.
At that moment.
"Bro."
Tang Nian’er, who had run over with Qin Shiyu, called out sweetly from the side.
Looking at his cousin Tang Nian’er, Tang Qing responded delightfully, "Hey, wow, our Nian’er has grown taller and prettier." As he finished, Tang Kai and his wife, along with the aunt, came over.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Aunt," Tang Qing called out.
"Tangtang, not bad at all," the aunt had witnessed Tang Qing’s earlier actions. If others noticed Tang Qing’s quick movements, she noticed his expressions.
From beginning to end.
Tang Qing’s face showed no hint of panic, only deep confidence.
Speaking in terms of results.
This confidence.
Was not unreasonable.
He must have been completely sure to see his cousin trip and still remain unmoved. That speed, while not surpassing human limits, was quite close, indicating that Tang Qing’s capabilities were more than what appeared.
"It’s okay, Aunt, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, let’s go. The car is outside." Tang Qing’s earlier actions had made him the center of attention at the airport, with his skilled movements and handsome face.
Both men and women couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
