Peerless Cupid System

He had promised to buy himself a big doll.

Now that he has kept his promise, let's hope he can keep the two promises he made tonight as well!

As Dou Xiaorong walked to the entrance of the residential area, she felt somewhat reluctant to leave.

Ling Ziqian wanted to invite her to his home; it had been a long time since they had talked together.

But it was getting late, so Dou Xiaorong waved and entered the residential area.

Ling Ziqian also went upstairs to go home.

Cupid and Poppy are already asleep.

Ling Ziqian placed the gift outside their room, so they would find it when they opened the door the next day.

He pushed open the door and entered his room.

As Ling Ziqian turned on the light and took off his coat, the blanket on the bed stirred slightly.

Ling Ziqian was startled; there was something on the bed!

"Master, why are you only just getting back?" Shen Qiaoyan looked up at Ling Ziqian, her eyes still groggy.

"Hey, what are you doing lying in my bed?" Ling Ziqian was dumbfounded. Luckily, he hadn't invited Dou Xiaorong upstairs, or he would have been dead!

"I've been waiting for you for so long, I'm sleepy..."

Chapter 164 You too, don't make me jealous!

Shen Qiaoyan raised her hands and stretched, showing no intention of getting off the bed.

"I was waiting for you downstairs. But Xiao Ai saw me and called me up," Shen Qiaoyan explained with a yawn. "But you didn't come back after I waited for ages, so I went to sleep first..."

What does it mean to go to sleep first?

Ling Ziqian was exasperated and placed a bag he was holding on the desk.

Shen Qiaoyan craned her neck and looked curiously at the bag. "When we parted just now, I didn't see you carrying a bag. How come you suddenly have one?"

"That's a gift for Mingxi," Ling Ziqian explained.

"Oh, a gift for my girlfriend." Shen Qiaoyan pouted, muttering sourly, "No wonder I didn't get one."

Ling Ziqian sat on the edge of the bed, both amused and exasperated. "Everyone has one, because I gave you a gold pen not long ago, so..."

Shen Qiaoyan was still jealous, and she pouted and said "oh".

There was really nothing Ling Ziqian could do with this guy, so he pulled a crystal ball the size of a fist out of his pocket.

"Here, this is a gift for you."

"Ha, why are you giving me a ball?"

Ling Ziqian was speechless. "This is a crystal ball. I don't understand what you like, so I just bought you something with no real meaning."

Shen Qiaoyan nodded and took the crystal ball.

She was a little curious. "Why did you suddenly start giving gifts to everyone?"

Ling Ziqian scratched his head awkwardly, "What happened at noon made everyone very upset, so let's make it up to each other."

So that's the reason. Shen Qiaoyan chuckled. "A crystal ball is nice. You can use it for divination or something."

After playing with it for a while, Shen Qiaoyan carefully placed the crystal ball aside. Then she looked at Ling Ziqian seriously.

"Master, have you thought it through?"

"About the bodyguards?"

Shen Qiaoyan nodded seriously.

Ling Ziqian scratched his head, looking exasperated. "Tell me the details, and then I'll make a decision."

“Here’s what happened.” Shen Qiaoyan frowned slightly. “I received a call from Huo Nan earlier. He told me that he was going to sign a business contract on behalf of his family and wanted to hire you as his bodyguard.”

Ling Ziqian frowned. "Isn't that guy a spoiled brat? Why is he suddenly going to sign a contract?"

“I also find it strange. This is his explanation.” Shen Qiaoyan’s expression was very bad. “His parents have always been in charge of his family’s company, but a few days ago, Huo Nan’s father claimed that he was sick. In fact, Huo Nan’s father was injured because of sabotage by a competitor.”

"This contract must be signed by someone from Huo Nan's family. Huo Nan's mother originally planned to go, but Huo Nan stopped her and took the blame for it. For his own safety, he wants to ask you, the powerful master, to be his bodyguard."

It seems that the Fire Man trusts himself a lot.

Ling Ziqian felt a headache coming on. Huo Nan had helped him before, and now it was his turn to help him.

It's not that he's unwilling to help, but this favor is related to his personal safety!

If the enemy is engaging in close combat, that's fine, but if they're sniping from a distance, then we're in big trouble!

Huan Yue retorted, "It's not that exaggerated. Fire Man's company can't possibly be a Fortune 500 company. You've been watching too many movies and are just imagining things. How could there be long-range sniping!"

Ling Ziqian was speechless. "That's true, but asking me, a homebody, to be a bodyguard seems a bit far-fetched, doesn't it?"

"Do you remember how Shen Qiaoyan studied before?" Huan Yue laughed. "By consuming a few points of ambiguity value, you can keep your mind clear. Being a bodyguard or something like that will be a piece of cake."

"You want me to agree to this?"

"Of course, you'll run into problems if you stay home every day. Just consider it exercise, and you can also earn some extra money."

At this moment, Shen Qiaoyan brought up the matter of payment, "Huo Nan said that if you agree to go with him, no matter what happens, he will give you 300,000!"

Ling Ziqian immediately shook his head, and Shen Qiaoyan thought he had refused.

“I felt bad when I won 100,000 yuan from him last time. I won’t take this 300,000 yuan. I’ll just consider it helping a friend.”

"Master, you agreed?"

Shen Qiaoyan was very excited, and Ling Ziqian nodded.

“I knew you would agree. I’ll text her right now.” Shen Qiaoyan took out her phone and quickly sent a message to Huo Nan.

Seeing Shen Qiaoyan so happy, Ling Ziqian felt a little strange.

He couldn't help but say, "You care about him a lot."

"No, although I dislike him a bit, he's still a friend." Shen Qiaoyan quickly sent a message.

“This is a very dangerous job, and you actually…” Ling Ziqian didn’t finish his sentence.

Just as she was about to send the message, Shen Qiaoyan felt something strange.

She looked up at Ling Ziqian with curiosity, "Master, are you jealous?"

Ling Ziqian spat out a mouthful of blood, "Eat my ass! Why would I be jealous..."

“I’ve only been jealous of you twice, Master!” Shen Qiaoyan seriously held up two fingers. “Once was when I saw Nanako in your room, and the other time was at noon.”

Ling Ziqian was stunned. Shen Qiaoyan's words left him at a loss for what to do.

Shen Qiaoyan chuckled, "It's not just couples who get jealous. Good friends get jealous too. If you have a new friend but don't tell me, I'll feel uncomfortable. That's jealousy!"

Ling Ziqian nodded mechanically.

"Just now, seeing how actively I was taking care of Huo Nan, Master, you thought I had a good relationship with Huo Nan and that's why you were jealous. Hehe, we don't have a good relationship at all. I was just eager to show off what kind of person you are, Master, so I sent him the message."

Shen Qiaoyan held up her phone and showed Ling Ziqian the contents of the message.

Indeed, just as she said, Ling Ziqian nodded upon seeing the content of the message.

Shen Qiaoyan then launched a sneak attack, lifting the blanket and crawling over to kiss Ling Ziqian's cheek.

Ling Ziqian blushed immediately. This guy always plays like this; he's really going to misunderstand.

Shen Qiaoyan walked behind Ling Ziqian, leaned against his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and rested her head on his shoulder.

Such behavior is something only couples would do!

Feeling the soft touch on his back, Ling Ziqian tensed up, feeling quite embarrassed.

Shen Qiaoyan didn't care at all. "Master is my friend, and Huo Nan and the others are also my friends, but Master, you are number one in my heart. I won't make you jealous, and you shouldn't make me jealous either."

This guy keeps saying they're friends, but the way she's acting is just too ambiguous!

Ling Ziqian could even sense that the ambiguous value on the silver watch was gradually increasing.

Unable to push the guy away, Ling Ziqian could only change the subject, "When is Fire Man going to sign the contract, and where is it being signed?"

"We're leaving the day after tomorrow for Tianhai City, and we expect to stay for two days." Shen Qiaoyan said as she leaned on Ling Ziqian's back, sending the message at the same time.

Ling Ziqian was a little depressed that he would have to leave for two days.

Shen Qiaoyan's cheerful voice rang in her ears, "Master, I'll stay with you!"

"You're going too?" Ling Ziqian's heart skipped a beat.

"It's so interesting, how could I possibly miss it!"

Ling Ziqian immediately felt a headache coming on. "What's so interesting about this? Who knows what might happen? Didn't Fire Man's father have an accident?"

"It's precisely because of the danger that I'm worried about you, Master."

"You know it's dangerous, how can I trust you?"

Shen Qiaoyan didn't speak. Ling Ziqian turned his head in confusion and almost touched her lips.

Her eyes sparkled, and she smiled sweetly, "No matter what, I'm going, Master, you can't stop me!"

Ling Ziqian's face darkened. "How are you going to explain this to your family?"

“I asked them a long time ago. I said I wanted to go on a one-night, two-day trip with my master, and they agreed unconditionally. They even said they would take safety precautions!” Zhenzhen Bucai said.

"Pfft..." Ling Ziqian coughed up blood and pushed the guy on his back away.

"Hehe, Master, you really believe it?"

"..."

Unable to find anything to say about this guy, Ling Ziqian checked the time; it was already very late.

"Don't linger on my bed, go home quickly, I'll take you."

"Ok!"

Shen Qiaoyan jumped down cleanly and neatly, put on her shoes, picked up the crystal ball, and walked out with a smile.

As they walked downstairs together, her phone rang; it was a message from Huo Nan.
