If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

Just like Qi Nan thought.

The two had just helped the girl out of the house when, a second later, the sound of an ambulance siren rang in their ears.

Several doctors placed the girl on a stretcher.

Are you the patient's relatives?

"no."

Qi Nan told the doctor that she had an invitation in her pocket with her name and information inside.

"Okay, then leave the rest to us."

Watching the ambulance leave.

Jiang Qin asked worriedly, "Will this girl be alright? She's so young..."

"Don't worry, trust the doctor's abilities, and this is the best we can do."

From the time she fell ill to the time she was put on the ambulance, it only took ten minutes, which was already Qi Nan's limit.

"But why didn't you call for help earlier?"

Qi Nan explained slowly, "There were so many guests at the banquet. If I had asked someone for help, it would have done nothing but create chaos. It might have even made the patient more anxious and led to an irreversible situation."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Qin nodded, surprised that Qi Nan would remain so calm in such a critical moment.

The two then returned to the hall.

Qi Nan was brought to Xia Ningqi and Shen Wanping by Jiang Qin.

"Did you two go out on business?"

"Yes, Mrs. Shen, a girl had a heart attack just now, so Qi Nan called 120 and sent her to the hospital."

"Did that really happen?" Shen Wanping asked, her expression showing surprise. "Then why weren't you notified?"

Facing the elegant lady before him, Qi Nan dared not be negligent in the slightest. He bowed and replied politely, "Because the situation was quite urgent just now, I was afraid of missing the best time for rescue, so I took matters into my own hands."

"I see."

Shen Wanping's eyebrows and eyes relaxed.

She liked Qi Nan's approach; in this situation, it was best to resolve things discreetly, otherwise the banquet might have to be canceled.

"Aunt Shen, do you think there's anything wrong with what you did?"

"No, because I like kind and smart boys."

"That's good."

Seeing that Shen Wanping didn't seem to dislike Qi Nan too much, Jiang Qin's mood improved considerably.

In fact, she was extremely satisfied with Xia Ningqi, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get past Xia Ningqi's parents.

"Mrs. Jiang, this is our first meeting. I'm truly sorry about the friction between our companies last time."

Seeing that she had offered a way out, Jiang Qin naturally followed suit, saying, "It's alright, this is just normal business competition, there's no right or wrong."

"By the way, I saw you chatting happily with Ningqi earlier, have you met before?"

"I have met them once. After all, as you know, these two kids rent apartments next to each other. I happened to run into them on their way home from school when I visited them last time."

"Really? And you're going home together?"

Jiang Qin said excitedly, placing her hand on Shen Wanping's ear, "And they were even riding the same electric scooter, with Qi Nan driving in front and Ning Qi holding him from behind."

"Oh my god, there's such a thing? What a pity I didn't see it."

The two chatted enthusiastically.

Her occasional aunt-like smile gave Qi Nan goosebumps.

"Does your mom also like watching melodramatic soap operas?"

Xia Ningqi shook her head and replied with three words, "I don't know."

...

The two calmed down a bit.

He glanced at Xia Ningqi and Qi Nan.

"Hey, let's go over there and let the two kids chat by themselves, otherwise they both seem too reserved."

"Haha, of course."

Before leaving, Jiang Qin gave Qi Nan a special glare.

I find it all very strange.

Qi Nan turned his head and saw Xia Ningqi with an unfriendly expression.

"Xia, is there something you need? If not, I..."

"What are you doing? Just peed, now need to poop? Or are you trying to bump into another fallen girl?"

"He had a heart attack, what does that have to do with a fallen girl?"

"Oh? You're so narcissistic. I thought you'd say it was because your heart was racing from seeing how handsome you are that you had a heart attack."

Qi Nan pinched his chin, then thought for a moment, "Hmm~ what you said makes some sense. It seems that I'm just too handsome."

"What you lack most is self-awareness."

"A confident man is the most handsome."

"It's impossible to communicate with her," Xia Ningqi snorted softly, subconsciously biting her lower lip. "Why didn't you send me any messages after you got back?"

That's a strange question.

Qi Nan asked, puzzled, "I don't think we have much to talk about..."

At home, all I do is "photosynthesis" and "search, fight, and retreat," so I really don't have any opportunity to communicate with Xia Ningqi.

"Fool, fool."

Qi Nan was inexplicably scolded twice, but he didn't talk back. He just went along with her words and said, "Okay, okay, you're the smartest one."

Xia Ningqi wanted to speak again.

Suddenly, a third party intervened.

It was Li Zhaonian. He stood in front of Xia Ningqi without a second thought. Although he stood straight, he was still half a head shorter than Qi Nan.

The next second, he spoke to Qi Nan in a superior tone, "Sir, your words are far too disrespectful to Miss Xia. She is a woman, and as a man, don't you even have basic manners?"

Qi Nan was stunned.

He couldn't recall ever uttering a single swear word, so he rationally replied, "Please, Mr. Li, don't try to impose your morals and standards on me. Besides, we live in an era of gender equality, and society strives for equality for all."

Li Zhaonian frowned, adjusted his glasses, and said, "You're clearly just making excuses. Every guest who attends a banquet of this caliber has received a good upbringing. Don't let your low character pollute the entire banquet."

"Then tell me, where did I go wrong in terms of manners?"

"His tone, attitude, and behavior all gave off a very low-class vibe."

Qi Nan was utterly speechless.

If this is considered low quality, then will I have to kneel down and talk to Xia Ningqi in the future?

This is outrageous...

Just then, Xia Ningqi spoke up, "According to you, my manners seem to be even worse than his, since I was the one who called him an idiot first."

Li Zhaonian retorted, "Miss Xia, this doesn't count as low manners."

"What does that count for?"

"I suppose so..." Li Zhaonian turned his head and gazed deeply into Xia Ningqi's eyes.

"It's kind of cute and playful."

Everyone was utterly shocked.

"Li Zhaonian actually said such cheesy things to a girl! It's obvious he's interested in Xia Ningqi!"

"If it were any other girl, she would probably be weak in the knees and have already given in by now. I really look forward to Xia Ningqi's reaction."
