Chapter 587 Deja Vu
The next morning, when Kim Sung-hee appeared in front of Li Xuan, Li Xuan was really surprised. Kim Sung-hee, wearing a professional suit, was less aloof. The light makeup made her look purer and she looked refreshed.

Without any hesitation, Jin Chengxi took Li Xuan's arm and blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "Brother, what kind of work are you going to arrange for me?"

After cleverly getting rid of Jin Chengxi's intimate movements, Li Xuan adjusted his tie, sat on the sofa and said, "Well, you will be in charge of the work here at the KTV first. I have greeted the manager there. If you have any questions, just ask him."

In fact, the specific work is nothing more than making an inspection and solving some customer problems. It is easy but also somewhat challenging. After all, the most important job is to be able to handle customer problems in a timely manner and deal with unexpected difficulties at any time.

Jin Chengxi, who still kept her little gangster habits, sat on the sofa with her head tilted, thinking. Finally, she raised the corner of her mouth and said in frustration: "Brother, this doesn't seem to be fun."

"Fun? How do you want to play? Do you think it's fun if I'm here every day?" Li Xuan rolled his eyes at Jin Chengxi, then leaned back on the sofa and deliberately ignored Jin Chengxi's twisted expression.

In the end, Jin Chengxi went to work as Li Xuan said. Although she said it was not fun and seemed to have resistance, she studied hard and did her best to do her job. She worked meticulously to complete all the work requirements and never stopped for a minute since she entered the role. In fact, everyone wants to be recognized and appreciated by others.

At this time, Li Xuan, who was looking through last week's business status information, suddenly received a call from the security department.

"What's the matter?" Li Xuan asked while holding the phone while flipping through the account book in the folder with one hand.

"Master, we found a suspicious person wandering outside the entertainment city."

"Just check it out and then deal with it." Li Xuan still focused his main attention on the documents in his hands.

"Uh, Master, this person is holding your photo and seems to be looking for you, but this person obviously doesn't know that you are the boss here."

"Oh? Male or female? How did you know they were looking for me?" Li Xuan stopped what he was doing and finally began to take the security department's discovery seriously.

"It's a woman. She holds your photo and often asks some hooligans outside the casino whether they have seen you. We only discovered this after a preliminary investigation. Do you think you should take some people to capture her?"

"Don't act rashly. Did you take any pictures of her?" Li Xuan said after thinking for a while. He likes to plan before taking action. He will not take any measures before knowing the other party's background. Being aggressive is not his style.

"Yes, do you want me to bring it to you?"

Li Xuan was silent for a moment and then said, "No, I'll go to the security department. You prepare all the information about this person."

"Ok."

After tidying up the documents on the desk, Li Xuan stood up and picked up the suit on the sofa. He put on his clothes as he walked. As soon as he went out, Li Xuan said to his secretary Miss Huang, "I'm going to be out for a while. Call me if you have any questions."

Miss Huang agreed and went back to her work.

After Li Xuan arrived at the security department, all the security guards stood up and prepared to salute. Li Xuan waved his hand and went straight to the point.

"Bring up the picture."

The security guard brought up the footage on the monitor. Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in ordinary clothes but with a cold face. He didn't expect this woman to be so determined that she actually came to the Holy City to chase him. And judging from her attitude, she seemed to be determined to fight to the death. In the video, the policewoman Liu Xueping was holding a photo and talking to an ordinary-looking man, looking around vigilantly from time to time.

"We took this picture accidentally, and it attracted our attention after we had private negotiations with the man in the picture. This woman should not be a local. She has been wandering around here for more than a week. Her purpose is to find the person in the photo in her hand, who is the eldest young master." The security guard explained to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan asked in a deep voice: "What else did you find out?"

The security guard hesitated for a moment and then said, "She lives in a three-star hotel nearby, which is the lowest-level hotel in the city. For now, she is alone and has no companions. Maybe we haven't found her helpers yet. We are still investigating other situations."

Li Xuan nodded, thought for a while and said, "Delete all the information about this woman. Don't worry about her in the future. I will handle this matter myself." After that, Li Xuan left the security department without looking back.

The security guards in the security department had different thoughts. Some thought that the boss's behavior was understandable, while others secretly despised Li Xuan. These people took it for granted that the woman in the picture had a murky past with Li Xuan. However, one person secretly copied the information on the picture.

At noon, Li Xuan drove his sports car away from Qingmeng Entertainment City and parked the car in the street opposite the entertainment city. Li Xuan sat in the car waiting for Liu Xueping, knocking on the door rhythmically and humming music leisurely. About an hour later, the person who was supposed to appear finally appeared.

Liu Xueping's graceful figure appeared on the street. Li Xuan stepped on the accelerator and the sports car quickly drove to Liu Xueping's side.

squeak!
The sound of braking startled Liu Xueping, who was worried. Liu Xueping turned her gaze to the owner of the noise. As soon as she turned around, an unexpected scene appeared.

The person she had been looking for suddenly appeared in front of her. He was still dashing and unrestrained, but the smile on his face was no longer as warm as the spring breeze. Instead, it was evil and sinister. It was this smile that made him look sinister.

Li Xuan opened the passenger door, raised his eyebrows and said, "Get in the car. Haven't you been looking for me?"

Liu Xueping suddenly became nervous. She guessed that Li Xuan had set a trap and getting into his car would mean putting herself in danger. She hesitated and didn't know what to do. She couldn't even utter a word and stood frozen in place.

……

"I'll give you a chance to catch me. It depends on whether you dare to play this game with me."

Liu Xueping retracted her raised hand, and the blush on her face faded away. She asked solemnly, "What do you mean?"

"One month. If you can find me in Shengdu within one month, I will go back to Qindu with you and will never resist. If you can't find me, then you must go back to Qindu obediently and never ask about my affairs again. How about it?" Li Xuan straightened his messy clothes and said indifferently.

"Hmph, how do I know if you will leave the Holy City, and then come back a month later saying you won? This is obviously unfair." Liu Xueping was extremely dissatisfied and raised her own protest. For more than a week, she had not made any progress in looking for Li Xuan. If Li Xuan had not appeared today, she might have chosen to give up the search. She had even begun to doubt whether Li Xuan came to the Holy City and left.

Li Xuan started the sports car again, looked at the road conditions outside the window, and said calmly: "If I wanted to run away, would I come to see you today? Think about it carefully. Even if I leave now, you can still not find me. Is it necessary to play this game with you?"

Liu Xueping immediately said, "Who knows if you are kidding me! You are always cunning and scheming, you are a sly fellow, your words are not credible at all."

Li Xuan curled his lips, shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I have set the conditions. As for whether to continue playing, it is up to you. I have no right to control you. However, this is your only chance to catch me. Do you seize the opportunity and believe in your ability to catch me, or watch the opportunity slip away? It all depends on you."

Soon, with Li Xuan's perfect driving skills, the red sports car drove back to the street where he met Liu Xueping and stopped the car steadily. Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Liu Xueping, who was in deep thought. He had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were full of conspiracy.

"Have you thought about it?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.

Clenching her fists, Liu Xueping turned her head and said firmly: "Okay, I promise you, but you'd better not play any tricks, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. Starting from tomorrow, one month will be counted as thirty-one days. I will definitely catch you!"

"Why not start counting from today? Also, why is it thirty-one days? Can't thirty days be enough?" Li Xuan touched his nose and asked with a smile.

Liu Xueping glared at Li Xuan and said in a cold voice without any room for doubt: "Today is more than halfway through. Of course we should start counting from tomorrow. More than half of the months in a year have thirty-one days. Isn't this reason enough?" After saying that, Liu Xueping opened the car door and got out.

Rolling down the car window, Li Xuan said to Liu Xueping who was standing on the roadside with a smile on his face: "Beautiful lady, remember our agreement. I'm leaving now. I hope we can see each other again soon."

Liu Xueping snorted coldly and turned her head away from Li Xuan in the car. Li Xuan didn't care either. He started the sports car and quickly disappeared from Liu Xueping's sight.

Walking alone on the street, Liu Xueping was thinking about her own thoughts, thinking about Li Xuan's cunning and changeable, thinking about Li Xuan's domineering and rudeness, thinking about his frivolous and unruly. Suddenly, Liu Xueping raised her fist and said to herself with a firm look in her eyes: "Jin Chenghua, I will definitely catch you, don't think about escaping from me."

"If you marry me, I will never run away!"

Liu Xueping heard the voice again, which made her feel a nameless anger. She turned around suddenly, but found that Li Xuan had turned back for some reason and was following her quietly. Her words just now also fell into his ears.

"Aha, you lost! I caught you!" Liu Xueping suddenly shouted excitedly. She remembered the agreement with Li Xuan and found that she seemed to have won, so she couldn't help shouting.

Li Xuan still had a warm smile on his face, and said gently: "Beauty, I'm sorry, if you had listened to me just now and started from today, you would have won. Unfortunately, you set the start time to tomorrow. I'm really sorry to disappoint you."

After Liu Xueping's excitement, she felt extremely disappointed. The psychological gap made her want to hold Li Xuan in her hands. She did not hide her resentment at all. She looked down at Li Xuan in the car and asked impatiently, "Then why did you come back?"

Li Xuan still smiled.

"Ask you something."

Liu Xueping rolled her eyes at Li Xuan and said irritably, "What's the matter?"

"You live in Qindu?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Pinghui District?"

"Ah."

"What's your occupation?"

"police."

“When did you join the police force?”

"This year."

"what's your name?"

"Liu Xueping."

"how old?"

"twenty one years old."

"What are your measurements?"

"…Asshole, why are you asking these questions?"

Liu Xueping, who had just answered instinctively, suddenly felt something was wrong. When she began to roar at Li Xuan, Li Xuan drove the red sports car, leaving only a cloud of exhaust gas, and disappeared beside her in the blink of an eye. Only Li Xuan's last words echoed in her ears.

"Sister Xueping, I hope you can catch me soon."

……

Jin Chenghua, who had been lying in the hospital bed for nearly half a month, was no longer in danger, but he had to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. His mental state had improved greatly and his appetite had become much more normal. Jin Chenghua leaned against the head of the bed, flipping through a business magazine in his hand, while outside the hospital, a red sports car was parked on the street.

Li Xuan raised one hand to the car window, holding a cigarette with smoke between his fingers. He leaned back in his seat and stared at a photo in his right hand in a trance. The photo showed a haggard woman with long red hair and a delicate face. Her body was stiff and she was holding a newspaper. Li Xuan stared at the photo and fell into a brief trance.

Since coming to the Holy City, Li Xuan has started a new life, so he has become indifferent to the past. However, after all, these are things that go deep into the soul. Being indifferent does not mean seeing through them. Being in the situation is always different from watching the fire from the other side of the river...

Therefore, he did not face these things as a true strong man, but continued to fight with his original mentality, while also secretly studying the mystery of the black square box carefully.

This kind of space-like thing, when put into practice and perception with all one's heart, the gains gained are far beyond imagination, so his main focus is still on practice, and his external body is just living as an ordinary person, adjusting his body and mind appropriately, and also playing tricks with the people of the Jin family to keep his life going.

After all, he couldn't be sure that there was no one in this world who was stronger than him.

This is not fear, but just steadiness.

……

Coming back to his senses, Li Xuan let out a long breath, threw away the cigarette butt that had long been burned out, and carefully put the photo in his hand into his wallet.

After sorting out his emotions, a gentle smile appeared on his face again. He pushed the door and got out of the car, then Li Xuan strode into the hospital.

Seeing that Jin Chenghua was in good spirits, Li Xuan's mood also improved a bit. He sat down beside Jin Chenghua's bed, picked up the fruit knife and an apple on the bedside table, and began to peel the apple with skillful hands. Jin Chenghua put down the magazine in his hand and looked at Li Xuan curiously. He felt that Li Xuan was a little bit abnormal today. He couldn't tell what the feeling was, but he just felt that it was unusual. Soon, Li Xuan peeled an apple and handed it to Jin Chenghua. Jin Chenghua frowned slightly after taking the apple. He smelled a strange smell. After thinking for a moment, Jin Chenghua smiled with relief. Li Xuan, who was peeling the second apple, saw Jin Chenghua's slightly colorful smile and asked in doubt: "What are you laughing at?"

"Tell me the truth, which girl did you hook up with? It couldn't be He Jie, right?" Jin Chenghua took a bite of the apple and still smiled.

Li Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I haven't seen your designated wife for a long time. I seldom go back to the manor recently. I always stay at Qingmeng Entertainment City overnight. I am too lazy to go back to the manor. When I see Jin Chengtai, I feel sick, as if I have eaten a fly."

"Oh? Then who did you offend?" Jin Chenghua asked curiously while chewing an apple. He thought that Li Xuan should not be the kind of person who was greedy for beauty. It was normal to like women, but he would never indulge in them, especially at this extraordinary moment. Li Xuan must be aware of his current situation. Involving one more person would only increase his burden.

Putting down the fruit knife, Li Xuan looked at the peeled apple in his hand with satisfaction. He took a bite of the apple and said calmly: "Tell me first, how can you conclude that I have contact with women?"

Jin Chenghua said disapprovingly: "This hospital is full of the smell of disinfectant. How could the feminine scent on you escape my nose? Especially when mixed with the smell of disinfectant, it's quite strange, but I'm sure that's the unique scent of a woman."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he sniffed and indeed there was a faint feminine scent. After thinking about it carefully, Li Xuan realized that it was the scent of Liu Xueping, which should have been left when the two of them were pressed close together in the car. Unexpectedly, this was discovered by Jin Chenghua.

"There's no reason to quibble anymore. Tell me, who is it?" Jin Chenghua urged Li Xuan.

Li Xuan spread his hands helplessly and said, "The one you saw was the female police officer at Qindu Airport. She followed him to Shengdu."

Jin Chenghua's playful expression changed instantly, and he asked in a serious tone: "What does she know? What are you going to do?" Jin Chenghua was worried that this female police officer would become a time bomb. If she was not properly controlled, the consequences would not be ignored.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have my own ideas. She won't pose any threat to us." Li Xuan stood up and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, Li Xuan turned back and said indifferently, "By the way, you should stay here for a few more days. Going out will be disadvantageous to you."

Helpless, Jin Chenghua had to nod bitterly. Although he was not very willing, considering the overall situation, lying in the hospital might be the best choice. At least he would not become a burden to Li Xuan.

After visiting Jin Chenghua, Li Xuan drove a red sports car to the black man's residence. Since he could make an agreement with Liu Xueping, he had a plan to win this game.

After knocking on the black man's door, in the dim living room, the black man tidied up the messy room and gestured to Li Xuan to sit down. Li Xuan sat down, crossed his legs, and said calmly, "Have you found anything recently?"

The black man rolled his eyes at Li Xuan in dissatisfaction. He leaned against the wall and said casually, "Boss, you are investigating the most influential young man in Shengdu. Can you find out anything in ten days or half a month? Even if you find out that a man is cheating on his wife, it will take a month or so. Please don't rush me. I will notify you as soon as I have any news."

Li Xuan nodded in understanding. He didn't take the black man's complaint to heart. Li Xuan was silent for a while. The dimly lit living room was filled with a weird atmosphere. The black man couldn't stand the way Li Xuan sat on the sofa without saying anything. He looked like a statue but seemed a little cold.

"Boss, you're not here to rest, are you? Why don't you go somewhere else? I highly recommend the hotel service at the Jin family's Qingmeng Entertainment City. Although the fee is expensive, you can definitely afford it. The most important thing is that it's safe there. How do you think?"

Li Xuan opened his eyes and said calmly, "Do you know any of the people in the city?"

The black man perked up and asked in a deep voice, "A figure in the underworld? Are you talking about the leader of a sect? Or just anyone who is involved in the underworld will do."

Li Xuan pondered for a while and said, "He is just a small gangster, but he must be reliable, not loyal, greedy for money and afraid of death."

"Oh my god, boss. There are a lot of gangsters like this on the street. Which gangster doesn't love money? Which gangster doesn't fear death? It's no longer popular for gangsters to be loyal. They just hang out with whoever has money and go wherever they can make a fortune!" said the black man with disdain.

Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "I mean someone you know who can get paid and get things done in your eyes. I don't want to spend money to find a bunch of idiots, and I don't have the mood to settle accounts with them afterwards."

"Boss, can I ask you what you want them to do? If the risk is too great, the price will definitely be very high, and I can't guarantee that they will run away after taking the money. Although they are vulgar thugs on the street, it doesn't mean they are stupid. On the contrary, they are better at clever tricks than anyone else." The black man couldn't help but remind him. He was actually worried that Li Xuan underestimated the thugs. Although these people had no power, no status, and no money, they were just as smart, and were much better at tripping people up and using dirty tricks than ordinary people.

Waving his hands impatiently, Li Xuan said, "The job I asked these people to do is very simple, not as serious as you said. My conditions are also very simple. After finding the right gangsters, you will pay 30% of the commission first, and then I will give you the rest after the job is done. However, in the future, these people will leave the Holy City and will not appear again in the short term. The price I offer is two million."

"Two million per person?" The black man swallowed his saliva, and he was a little impulsive to sign up himself.

Li Xuan glanced at the black man and sneered, "Do I have too much money to spend or what? A total of two million, at least six people are needed. I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll pay you a commission of one hundred thousand. How about it?"

Although a little disappointed, the black man nodded with satisfaction. He asked, "So what exactly are these people going to do?"

Li Xuan then repeated the tasks of arranging these gangsters, and the black man nodded after remembering every key point. Li Xuan left the black man's residence after leaving a check.

As soon as he went out, Li Xuan's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Jin Chengxi calling.

It was getting late and the sky was getting dark. Li Xuan answered the phone while walking towards the sports car.

"What happened?" Li Xuan asked in a serious tone.

"Brother, where have you been? I haven't seen you all day. Have you had dinner?" Jin Chengxi's voice sounded a little complaining.

Li Xuan got into the car but didn't start it. He looked at the watch and it was almost six o'clock. He said to the phone, "I haven't eaten yet. I'm doing something outside. What's the matter? Are you in trouble?"

Jin Chengxi said somewhat unhappily: "Brother, today is my first day at work, why don't you seem to care at all? By the way, since you haven't eaten yet, come back and I will eat with you."

Li Xuan, who always felt something was strange, was too lazy to ask questions. He always felt that Jin Chengxi seemed to be hiding something. After agreeing, Li Xuan hung up the phone, started the sports car and drove towards Qingmeng Entertainment City.

After returning to the casino, Li Xuan went directly to his office. As he expected, Jin Chengxi was already kneeling on the sofa waiting for his arrival. Looking at the four dishes on the coffee table, Li Xuan took off his suit and asked casually, "You can just go to the restaurant for dinner. Why did you send it to the office?"

When Li Xuan appeared, Jin Chengxi's listless look immediately brightened up. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Brother, don't ask so many questions first. How about sitting down and trying this dish?"

Li Xuan looked at Jin Chengxi in confusion. After sitting on the sofa, he picked up the chopsticks and tasted each dish. He nodded while eating. Li Xuan's hands kept moving. He chewed the food and mumbled, "Not bad. Which restaurant made this? I'll order from this restaurant next time."

Jin Chengxi propped her chin with one hand, her smile widening. She said mysteriously, "You can't eat the food in this restaurant just because you want to, even if you have money."

After taking a sip of water, Li Xuan raised his head and wiped his mouth with a tissue. Li Xuan asked in confusion: "Why? This restaurant has so many rules?"

"No, no, no, to tell you the truth, brother, you are the first customer of this restaurant." Jin Chengxi raised his eyebrows proudly at Li Xuan, with a hint of pride and satisfaction in his eyes.

After looking at the food again and then at Jin Chengxi's expression, Li Xuan 'understood' and shook his head with a smile, saying, "I never thought that you, a little devil, would cook, and cook so deliciously. Sigh, I really underestimated you."

Jin Chengxi jumped up from the sofa, squeezed to Li Xuan's side, grabbed his arm and shook it while pouting, "What, brother? Am I really so useless in your heart?"

"Of course not, it's just that you really surprised me today, haha." Li Xuan said with a smile.

Jin Chengxi let go of Li Xuan's arm, snorted and sat up straight. She muttered, "That's better." But her eyes were full of smiles.

Then Kim Sung-hee also picked up his chopsticks. The two of them picked up food for each other and talked about some interesting things they had seen and heard from time to time. The dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, Li Xuan held a glass of water in his hand and looked at Jin Chengxi who was kneeling on the sofa and flipping through an entertainment magazine. Li Xuan walked behind her and asked casually: "Did you have a good day at work? Are there any troubles?"

Jin Chengxi closed the magazine and threw it away, tilted his head back and looked up at Li Xuan, rolling his eyes as if thinking.

Li Xuan picked up the cup and took a sip of water. At this time, Jin Chengxi also finished thinking. She tilted her head and said with some disappointment: "KTV business is not very good during the day. The people who come are students, middle school students, and college students. The consumption is also very low. They all come here for pure entertainment and singing. They don't want wine or girls to sing with them. It's very boring. Not to mention making trouble, they are all respectful to the waiters."

Li Xuan walked to the sofa opposite Jin Chengxi and sat down. He crossed his legs, tapped his legs with his fingers, and chuckled, "These students just want to look good in front of their classmates. Qingmeng's consumption level is good enough to be able to afford the minimum consumption of the private room. How dare they ask for wine or girls? The price of KTV during the day and at night is very different, so they all choose to come during the day. At night, you should be busy enough."

Jin Chengxi said indifferently: "It's okay. Anyway, there is nothing too difficult to deal with. They are all small things. However, there was something interesting during the day today."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"A student smashed a set of wine utensils in a private room, which scared him so much that he almost cried. His classmates should have invited him to play, but of course he had to pay for the compensation for the broken wine utensils himself. However, he had no money and his classmates just watched coldly. He was almost taken away by the security guards." Jin Chengxi told the story slowly, with a hint of sigh in his words.

"What happened next?" Li Xuan wanted to hear how Jin Chengxi handled the matter.

"I have absolved him of responsibility. It's not worth making a fuss over such a small amount of money." Jin Chengxi said easily.

Li Xuan nodded and looked at Jin Chengxi with a little appreciation. After putting down the cup, Li Xuan looked at the watch. It was almost eight o'clock.

"Shouldn't you go to work?"

Jin Chengxi also looked at the exquisite and elegant women's watch on his wrist, nodded, stood up, shrugged helplessly, and seemed a little reluctant.

"Chengxi." When Jin Chengxi was about to walk out of the office, Li Xuan called her from behind.

Jin Chengxi turned around and looked at Li Xuan questioningly, her beautiful eyes as clear as water: "What's the matter?"

"Are you tired from work?"

Jin Chengxi's expression suddenly became ugly, her face almost wrinkled together, and the lively little beauty almost turned into a fifty-year-old woman. "Tired, of course I'm tired."

"Is it fun?"

“It’s not fun at all!”

"Want to give up?"

"In no mood!"

"Will you come to work tomorrow?"

"Of course!"

Kim Sung-hee answered without hesitation, which made Li Xuan smile with satisfaction. Li Xuan then smiled and said, "Also, don't frown all the time in the future. It will easily cause wrinkles."

"Really? How come I didn't know? Why didn't you tell me earlier? What if I start to look old and have wrinkles early? It would be hard for me to get married." Jin Chengxi said nervously, looking a little worried.

Li Xuan shook his head speechlessly. It was natural for women to love beauty, especially beautiful women! Li Xuan consoled her, "Okay, stop feeling sorry for yourself. You are beautiful now, and it will take you 20 years to get old."

"Really? Brother, do you think I'm beautiful?"

Jin Chengxi narrowed her eyes and asked. She was a little unconvinced by what Li Xuan said because in her impression Li Xuan would see her as a little gangster. Such a girl, no matter how she looked, would always have a bad image in other people's minds. Jin Chengxi was always worried that Li Xuan would be obsessed with her previous image.

"A confident woman is truly beautiful. Lack of confidence is not good, you know?" Li Xuan said encouragingly with a gentle smile, indirectly affirming Jin Chengxi's beauty.

Jin Chengxi nodded happily, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, Li Xuan called her again.

"I, I want to ask a question." Li Xuan hesitated.

Jin Chengxi looked at Li Xuan in confusion and said puzzledly: "Brother, what's wrong with you? It's not like you to be so hesitant."

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan took a deep breath and said seriously, "I want to know why you choose to be so close to me instead of Chengtai. After all, in terms of blood, he and you are closer than you and I are."

Jin Chengxi was stunned. After she came to her senses, she replied calmly, "Brother, I know very well what my second brother has done over the years, including sending people to kill you. Although I don't know what you and my second brother are thinking, and why you regard power and wealth as so important, I know one thing, my second brother doesn't regard me as his sister. I know this better than anyone else! And brother, from the first day you came home, from the time you waved your hand to hit my second brother's bodyguard to the time you saved the waiter in the KTV, I saw it all clearly. I think you are like a man. I won't feel lonely and helpless when I stay with you. I think you will protect me. I think I can't be wrong, right? Brother."

Li Xuan's heart seemed to be touched, especially her eyes, which always had a sense of familiarity, causing ripples in his heart.

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "I will protect you well, don't doubt it."

Jin Chengxi smiled with relief, and then asked: "Brother, is there anything else?"

"Thank you for preparing dinner. It is the best meal I have ever had." Li Xuan smiled gently.
