The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 20 Arranged Marriage
"Oh? Are you angry?" Cui Tian stood up, put the lipstick back in her makeup bag, turned around and walked in front of her, scrutinizing her pure and alluring face without any makeup with the air of a senior. "I admit you are prettier than me, but in time you will realize that you and Brother Sen are not from the same world at all."

"You don't actually think that Brother Sen kept you at the tattoo shop because he likes you, do you?"

“You’re wrong.” She smiled scornfully. “He gives this special treatment to every fallen girl.”

Cui Tian patted her shoulder, "As someone who's been there, let me give you some advice: never fall for Sen Ge. If you do, you'll really lose badly!"

"Thank you for telling me all this, Sister Tian'er." Lu Siqi's expression was calm: "I will remember it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a police car drive up and stop in front of the tattoo shop, so she quickly pulled up her collar and went outside.

Sure enough, the police officer who got out of the car was Song Qinian from last night.

When Song Qinian saw her, he suppressed his excitement and pretended not to know her. He pointed to the vandalized tattoo shop in front of him and asked, "The people who vandalized the shop last night have been caught, but we can't contact the owner. Do you have the owner's contact information?"

“I’m a student at this shop.” Lu Siqi walked over. “Our boss must be busy. Is there something important?”

Another older officer came down, looked her up and down, and then said, "The trainee can come back to the police station with us to claim her lost property."

And so, she got into the police car and followed Song Qinian back to the police station.

……

At the police station, Song Qinian was alone with Lu Siqi in an interrogation room. Once they were alone, he immediately said excitedly, "Senior! You should go back to Beicheng. Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu are looking for you."

Seeing that she was unmoved, he quickly persuaded her, "Uncle Lu said that he will absolutely not let you go on blind dates or get married."

The offer was indeed tempting, but Lu Siqi smiled slightly and shook her head. "I'm doing fine here, Qi Nian. Don't tell my parents I'm here. If they find out I'm here, I'll leave immediately."

“But senior, this place really isn’t suitable for you!” Song Qinian said anxiously, walking around the table to stand in front of her. “I know why you resigned, but there’s no evidence that Uncle Lu has any connection with Huaxi Group. Don’t believe the rumors circulating online.”

Looking down, Song Qinian could vaguely see bite marks on Lu Siqi's neck.

Even though she knew anything could happen while she was undercover, she was her favorite senior, and she couldn't bear to see her being taken advantage of by another man in order to find the truth.

"If you don't want to go back to China, I'll call my brother-in-law right now and have him arrange a safe place for you to wait for news." As he spoke, he took out his phone, ready to call his brother-in-law, Gu Shi.

Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Mu Sen walked in with an envious smile. "It's so nice to be Commander Gu's brother-in-law. You can have special privileges and freely allocate the people on my side."

Due to their different identities, Song Qinian came to Jiang Hong to assist in the mission. As a team member, he had no right to interfere with the deployment of Mu Sen, the informant.

“Brother Sen, you misunderstood me,” Song Qinian explained. “I think that since Senior Sister has just arrived in Jianghong, she is still in her probationary period. She will only really get involved in missions after the probationary period ends. I wanted to take advantage of the time before Senior Sister starts her missions…”

"Who said she hasn't taken on any missions yet?" Mu Sen interrupted him, took out a matchbox and cigarettes from his pocket, pulled up a chair and sat opposite Lu Siqi: "You tell this kid, have you passed your probation period?"

Having spent time with him, Lu Siqi knew that he was only smiling on the surface, but he was already furious inside.

In order not to implicate Song Qinian, she stood up: "I have already passed my probation period, Qinian. I also had contact with people from Huaxi Group a few days ago. It is impossible for me to leave Jiang Hong."

“But…” Song Qinian wanted to say something more, but when he saw Mu Sen leisurely puffing out smoke, he could only swallow back all the words he wanted to say.

"You go out first." Mu Sen pointed at Lu Siqi, then raised his legs and propped them on the table before pointing at Song Qinian opposite him: "I need to teach this kid some rules first."

Lu Siqi knew Mu Sen's personality; he only appeared domineering and autocratic on the surface, but he would never act recklessly.

After leaving the interrogation room, Mu Sen waited outside for about ten minutes before finally coming out.

"Where's Qi Nian?" She wanted to go back in and take another look. Mu Sen stopped her: "How much do you want others to know you know Song Qi Nian?"

Only after his reminder did Lu Siqi realize that her current status made it inappropriate for her to get too close to Song Qinian.

After arriving at the lost and found, packing up all the tattooing tools, and leaving the police station together, Lu Siqi wanted to ask Mu Sen what rules he and Song Qinian had agreed to.

Just as she was about to speak, Mu Sen reminded her, "Fasten your seatbelt. A big customer has come to the store. I have to hurry back."

"A major client?" she asked, somewhat puzzled. "Someone from Huaxi?"

“A few of Chen Hai’s underlings.” Starting the car, Mu Sen’s expression was serious. “I’ll be going to Zunhuang frequently these next few days. The store is going to be renovated. You and Duanzi will keep watch over it for now.”

Knowing that his next plan was to gain Chen Hai's trust, Lu Siqi didn't offer her opinion, but simply nodded, "Okay."

"Have you had lunch?" Mu Sen glanced at her, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Pretend I didn't ask. That kid Song Qinian wouldn't let you go hungry."

“I didn’t eat at the police station.” Song Qinian had given her a boxed lunch, but she didn’t eat it, worried that if they got too close, people would notice that they knew each other before.

Mu Sen felt a little better after hearing that she hadn't eaten at the police station.

As they approached the store, they passed a fast food restaurant that looked quite clean. He stopped the car and said, "You can go down and eat first. I'll have Duanzi come and pick you up to go back to the store later."

Lu Siqi obediently opened the car door and got out.

"Wait," Mu Sen called out to her again.

She turned around and looked at him with a very calm gaze.

You couldn't see any emotion or change in her eyes; she only showed a barely perceptible reaction when you kissed her.

Mu Sen was disgusted by her coldness and the stark contrast between her previous and current behavior. "Could you please stop looking at me like that? Can't you have some feelings for me?"

Seeing her expression turn to confusion, he had no choice but to get out of the car, walk up to her, lean down and whisper in her ear, "Do you know? Only a bedroom relationship with some feelings can last."

“I don’t like to complicate relationships.” Lu Siqi met his gaze calmly. “To me, feelings are feelings, and sex is sex; they shouldn’t be mixed up.”

It's a good point that they shouldn't be confused.

Does that mean their relationship is limited to sex?

"Heh." Mu Sen chuckled lightly, "You think I want to talk about love with you?"

"Let me tell you, I just don't want to face a robot all day long, it's too boring, you know?"

Seeing that his disdain was written all over his face, Lu Siqi was very self-aware. She pursed her lips slightly and smiled with relief: "If you find it boring, you can have Brother Kai take me to Bangnan first."

"Trying to provoke me?" Mu Sen raised the corners of his mouth, his smile becoming even more contemptuous: "Too bad, I don't fall for that at all."

"I'm not trying to provoke you. I just don't understand why you want me to stay in Jianghong."

"You think I want you to stay?" Her phone suddenly vibrated. Seeing that it was Hai Ge's underling urging her, she didn't continue the conversation. "I'll talk to you properly about this after I'm done with my work."
