Qin Leshi was at her wits' end. Last time, when the son of a high-ranking official blocked the entrance to his company, Qin Leshi had no choice but to ask a male colleague from the company's public relations department to pretend to be her boyfriend, hoping to get rid of the official's son that way. As a result, three days later, that male colleague from the public relations department had both legs broken and a piece of his spleen ruptured. Qin Leshi's family had to pay a large sum of money in compensation for this!
Today, the high-ranking official's son parked his car in front of Alice's house early in the morning, waiting for Qin Leshi to get off work!
Because of this, Qin Leshi was frowning and her mood was off all day!
“Gao Jianfei, if you want to help Le Shi, why don’t you just pretend to be her boyfriend? Right now, no man in the company dares to pretend to be Le Shi’s boyfriend. Everyone is terrified,” Zou Yan said bluntly. After a pause, she quickly added, “Gao Jianfei, if you don’t want to, no one will blame you. After all… Liu Qiang is a gangster. He’s ruthless and doesn’t care about family.”
That guy's name is Liu Qiang.
Gao Jianfei thought for a moment, "I'll help! Miss Qin has been so good to me, it would be really inappropriate if I didn't help her! Although I come from a small city, I still understand some principles. Don't worry, after get off work today, I'll accompany Miss Qin home. I'll... be her protector!"
In fact, once Gao Jianfei learned that Liu Qiang usually wouldn't take action in person but would retaliate afterward, Gao Jianfei was no longer afraid of him.
You know, either today or tomorrow, Gao Jianfei will take in a level 2 ghost. Once it learns his fighting skills, there's no need to fear Liu Qiang's retaliation.
This favor is within Gao Jianfei's capabilities; if he doesn't help, it would be truly unreasonable!
With a plan in mind, Gao Jianfei calmed down. In the afternoon, while assisting Qin Leshi, Gao Jianfei took the initiative to do some of the work that he was capable of.
Finally... I got off work in the afternoon.
One by one, the people in the planning department left the office in high spirits, leaving only Qin Leshi and Zou Yan behind, dawdling and unwilling to leave.
Gao Jianfei stayed behind as well. He walked directly to Qin Leshi and said, "Miss Qin, I heard about your matter from Xiao Yanzi this afternoon. I'm from a small city, and I appreciate your kindness. Now that you're in trouble, it's my duty to help! So, if you don't mind, let me pretend to be your boyfriend this afternoon and get rid of Liu Qiang!"
Qin Leshi was taken aback by Gao Jianfei's sudden remark. Her face flushed, and she glanced at him. Gao Jianfei kept his eyes straight ahead, his expression and gaze revealing no hint of frivolity or attempt to take advantage.
"This... Gao Jianfei... Liu Qiang... he's unreasonable, very barbaric. Last time, Xiao Ma impersonated my boyfriend, but he... beat him so badly he ended up in the hospital for three months... Gao Jianfei, I think... maybe we should just forget about it. I'm worried Liu Qiang will retaliate against you." Although Qin Leshi rejected Gao Jianfei, her eyes clearly revealed a plea for help and longing.
It's like a drowning person spotting a piece of driftwood.
She was really out of options. After all, she was a woman, and there were some things she simply couldn't solve on her own. Now that a man had stepped forward, subconsciously, she had already accepted Gao Jianfei's request to help.
Gao Jianfei was skilled at judging appearances and colors; how could he not see it?
“Then, Miss Qin, let’s go out together. Don’t worry about me, I know what I’m doing,” Gao Jianfei said earnestly.
"Okay!" Qin Leshi finally nodded. "Then... I'll have to trouble you, Gao Jianfei!"
Chapter Thirty-Eight: I am her man!
Chapter Thirty-Eight: I am her man!
In the office, Zou Yan gave her a series of instructions before leaving for the day. Qin Leshi was still very nervous, but the presence of Gao Jianfei, who had stepped forward to stand by her side, offered her some comfort, and her expression softened slightly. She whispered to Gao Jianfei, "Gao Jianfei, wait a few minutes, I need to use the restroom." Judging from her expression, she seemed afraid that Gao Jianfei would leave her. "It'll only be a few minutes."
"Yes, Miss Qin, don't be afraid, I'll wait for you." Gao Jianfei couldn't say he wasn't nervous at all, but on the surface, he remained calm. Gao Jianfei understood that since he had agreed to help Qin Leshi, he had to perform well and not show the slightest bit of fear.
Seeing Qin Leshi hurriedly leave the office and head towards the restroom, Gao Jianfei couldn't help but think... Judging from Qin's past personality, she was a very gentle, proper, generous, and composed woman. But today, she had completely lost her composure. Just how terrifying was that Liu Qiang? He had actually made Qin lose control of her emotions.
After making some wild guesses, Gao Jianfei turned on the virtual display screen again and saw that the exorcism points had returned to "565".
Not long after, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground rang out, and Qin Leshi had returned to her office.
Gao Jianfei's eyes lit up!
It turns out that Qin Leshi went to the restroom to touch up her makeup!
These past few days, when Gao Jianfei saw Qin Leshi, she had been without makeup, displaying her natural beauty. Now, she had applied some light makeup, albeit hastily, just some foundation and lip gloss, but it still added a touch of elegance to Qin Leshi.
It's beautiful.
A serene, quiet, and elegant beauty.
Qin Leshi picked up her small bag from the desk and said to Gao Jianfei, "Alright, Gao Jianfei, let's go downstairs."
"Okay." Gao Jianfei turned around and walked out of the office first.
At this moment, Qin Leshi suddenly walked up from behind, hesitated for a second, then took Gao Jianfei's left hand with her right hand and leaned her delicate body gently against him. They looked exactly like a young couple.
Gao Jianfei shuddered involuntarily!
Qin Leshi's temperature also suddenly rose several degrees. Although she wasn't wearing blush, two delicate blushes appeared on her face. "Gao Jianfei...no, I'm sorry...last time Xiao Ma pretended to be my boyfriend, we had no experience, and we just walked out like that. Xiao Ma...Xiao Ma didn't even hold my hand, so Liu Qiang saw right away...Xiao Ma and I were...we were acting. So, afterwards, he retaliated against Xiao Ma, saying that if your acting is so bad, you shouldn't embarrass yourself in public. This time...we...we must act well, otherwise, I'm afraid Liu Qiang will treat you the way he retaliated against Xiao Ma..."
Qin Yueshi, holding Gao Jianfei's arm, also seemed very awkward. Gao Jianfei could sense this awkwardness.
Although Gao Jianfei and Qin Leshi were very intimate at this moment, with Gao Jianfei feeling Qin Leshi's softness and body temperature, and his nose filled with a faint fragrance, Gao Jianfei knew very well that this was all an act!
My task is not to enjoy this beautiful scenery, but to cooperate with Qin Leshi and perform the play well!
Immediately, Gao Jianfei composed himself and walked out of the company side by side with Qin Leshi, arm in arm.
Not far from the company entrance, a silver-gray Audi A4 was parked. A burly-looking man leaned against the car door, smoking. His smoking posture was quite flamboyant; just from that alone, you could tell he had the air of a gangster!
He was wearing camouflage pants like those worn by US Marines, and a camouflage vest on his upper body. His two exposed arms were probably as thick as Gao Jianfei's thighs, and his chest had two bulging, explosive muscles. If he took off his vest, his pectoral muscles would definitely be terrifying!
He's about 1.85 meters tall, with dark skin and rugged features—a real tough guy!
"He...he is Liu Qiang...No, don't look at him! Let's go that way..." Qin Leshi was clearly terrified, her delicate body began to tremble slightly, and she took Gao Jianfei's arm and started to walk in the opposite direction.
Over there, Liu Qiang saw the woman he had always coveted but could never have, walking out of Alice's with a young man. His eye muscles twitched, and a fierce look flashed across his face. He threw away his cigarette butt, took a few strides, and chased after her, shouting, "Le Shi, stop!"
Qin Leshi shuddered and quickly whispered to Gao Jianfei, "Gao Jianfei, we...we should run!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Liu Qiang rushed over, his booming voice like a broken gong, and demanded sharply, "Le Shi, who is this man?"
Gao Jianfei, arm in arm with Qin Leshi, turned around and, as he did so, conveyed a signal to Qin Leshi with his eyes… “There’s no escaping it now, we have to face it!”
At this moment, Gao Jianfei tightened his grip on Qin Leshi's hand, giving her a sense of security.
The two men were facing Liu Qiang directly, about 5 meters apart.
At this close distance, Gao Jianfei truly grasped the imposing presence of Liu Qiang. Although Gao Jianfei wasn't short at all, standing at a full 1.78 meters, he looked like a child next to Liu Qiang!
The main reason is that Liu Qiang is too tall and strong. His body width far exceeds that of Gao Jianfei, and every muscle in his body seems to contain terrifying explosive power!
"Le Shi, what kind of man is this?" Liu Qiang was initially furious, but after a moment's thought, a mocking expression immediately appeared on his face. He thought to himself... This woman, she's using the same old trick again, finding another idiot to pretend to be her boyfriend, damn it! What a stupid woman!
Qin Leshi adjusted her breathing, forcing herself to calm down, and managed a smile on her face... "Liu Qiang, hello, let me introduce you, this is Jian Fei, my boyfriend."
"What boyfriend? Damn it! Le Shi, my uncle promised me that as long as you don't have a boyfriend, I have the right to pursue you. Don't just find some idiots to pretend to be your man. It's bad for you, for me, for him..." Liu Qiang pointed at Gao Jianfei, "It's bad for everyone!"
After a pause, Liu Qiang emphasized again, "Although I'm from the underworld, I'm a man of principle. As long as you really have a boyfriend, I'll immediately stop bothering you. But this guy is clearly not like that! Alright, Le Shi, stop playing around. Haven't you learned your lesson from that kid last time?"
Qin Leshi abruptly pulled her hand out of Gao Jianfei's arm and instead wrapped it around his waist. She looked very gentle, but her movements were awkward and nervous. "Liu Qiang, Jianfei and I are really a couple. How could I possibly have someone impersonate me? Liu Qiang, you're actually a nice guy. I'm sure many girls like you. I already have a boyfriend, so please don't bother me anymore, okay? Let's still be friends!"
Seeing Qin Leshi take the initiative to hug Gao Jianfei, Liu Qiang grinned and pointed at Gao Jianfei, "Damn it! How can you prove you're Leshi's boyfriend? I'll give you three minutes today, give me some evidence. My patience has its limits! If I find out you're an imposter, the consequences will be..." He gritted his teeth, cracking his knuckles repeatedly.
Gao Jianfei knew that now was the time for him to shine, and he absolutely couldn't mess it up!
To be honest, someone like Liu Qiang is from a completely different world from Qin Leshi. If Qin Leshi were to fall into Liu Qiang's hands, not only would Qin Leshi herself be devastated, but Gao Jianfei would also be extremely depressed!
"Prove what? Le Shi is my woman. From today onwards, I'm warning you, you're not allowed to harass my girlfriend again!" Gao Jianfei said decisively.
When Gao Jianfei finished speaking, Qin Leshi's body visibly trembled.
Liu Qiang completely ignored what Gao Jianfei was saying and roared, "I told you to produce evidence to prove you're Yue Shi's man, not to make a declaration here! Fuck! Evidence!"
An impulse surged into Gao Jianfei's mind... Damn it! A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one! Miss Qin, I'm sorry!
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei grabbed Qin Leshi, gently turned her body, and tightly wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and then...
He suddenly lowered his head and kissed Qin Leshi's hot red lips!
At this moment, Qin Leshi was completely confused. She made a token effort to struggle a couple of times, but Gao Jianfei held her tightly, and her struggles were completely ineffective.
Actually, at first, Gao Jianfei acted on impulse. When he kissed Qin Leshi and stuck out his tongue, it was a pure, very pure instinct. But then he realized something was wrong and was a little surprised, so that's how it happened...
The kiss lasted for five seconds before Gao Jianfei released her. Without hesitation, he pulled Qin Leshi's now completely limp body into his arms and shouted at Liu Qiang, "Isn't this proof? Huh? I told you, I'm Leshi's man. I'm warning you, don't you dare harass her again!"
This time, Gao Jianfei gave a full performance.
Liu Qiang was completely dumbfounded! Stunned! Bewildered!
Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Allure of That One Strike!
Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Allure of That One Strike!
"Damn it!" After a few seconds of stunned silence, Liu Qiang suddenly let out a cruel, beast-like howl, and in one stride, he charged directly at Gao Jianfei and Qin Leshi. "You two adulterers!"
In a flash, Gao Jianfei ruled out the worst-case scenario of killing Liu Qiang directly with a throwing knife. Instead, he used his back to block Liu Qiang as he jumped towards him, protecting Qin Leshi with all his might.
At that moment, Liu Qiang's large hand was about to slap Gao Jianfei's head hard, but he glanced around and saw people passing by. He also noticed that there were people in security uniforms peeking out from under some office buildings in the vicinity.
In the nick of time, Liu Qiang withdrew ninety percent of the fierce force he was about to use to strike Gao Jianfei on the head!
It's worth noting that Liu Qiang was quite successful within his own gang. This was mainly due to his ruthlessness, but more importantly, his composure and calmness in crucial moments. This was one of Liu Qiang's greatest strengths!
Liu Qiang was undoubtedly furious with Gao Jianfei, so he didn't want to beat Gao Jianfei in this public setting, because he had made up his mind to... beat Gao Jianfei to death or cripple him!
Since we've already killed or maimed them, we'll have to find another opportunity!
So, Liu Qiang abruptly withdrew his strength, his hand landing on Gao Jianfei's head with a light pat. Then, he grabbed Gao Jianfei's collar and said, "Kid, you're awesome! The woman I've always wanted to sleep with, I never thought you'd get her! Awesome, really awesome. Fine, I'll let you have your fun for a few days, but remember... I, Liu Qiang, will absolutely not let you go!"
Gao Jianfei wasn't stupid. Under these circumstances, Liu Qiang's ability to hold back his anger meant only two things...
1. He kept his promise, and when Qin Leshi really found a boyfriend, he gave up pursuing her;
2. He is plotting a terrifying revenge!
Without a doubt, Liu Qiang's forbearance stemmed from the second reason!
Hearing this, Gao Jianfei felt much more at ease!
Revenge? Revenge in a few days?
Fine! I'll be waiting for your revenge!
"If you want revenge, come at me! Don't make things difficult for a woman! If you're a man, come at me!" Gao Jianfei deliberately provoked Liu Qiang to prevent Qin Leshi from being harmed.
Liu Qiang grinned, a smile filled with immense sarcasm and hatred. He released Gao Jianfei, backing away while pointing his finger at Gao Jianfei's nose, "You've got guts! You think you're a real man? Fine, just wait a few days and you'll see how horribly you'll die!"
Soon, Liu Qiang got into the silver-gray Audi A4 and sped away.
"Phew..." Gao Jianfei released Qin Leshi. "Miss Le...it's alright now."
"Mmm," Qin Leshi responded, then straightened her disheveled clothes. Her hands trembled slightly, revealing her unstable emotions, but she didn't speak. Not a single word.
After the incident, Gao Jianfei looked back and realized that he had been quite reckless. He wanted to explain, but explaining such things would only make things worse and more awkward.
Let's just stay silent about sex! Let's play dumb!
"Then... Miss Qin, shall I take you home?" Gao Jianfei was afraid that Qin Leshi would run into Liu Qiang again on her way home.
Qin Leshi simply nodded slightly, said nothing, and walked towards the nearby bus stop with her head down.
Gao Jianfei followed closely behind.
Qin Leshi's home was in a residential complex built by Huashi Natural Gas Company in a bustling part of the city. Gao Jianfei dropped Qin Leshi off at the entrance of the complex, thinking that everything should be fine now. He then said to Qin Leshi, "Miss Qin, you are completely safe now. You can go home and rest without worry. Liu Qiang will not bother you again. Well... I'll go home now."
