Arriving at the parking lot, Tang Xin opened the front trunk of the sports car, took out a pair of flat shoes and put them on before getting into the driver's seat.

Jiang Qi sat beside her, chin resting on her hand as she looked at her and joked, "Not bad, your safety awareness has improved."

"I don't want to be in the news wearing 10cm high heels and driving a sports car."

Jiang Qi curled her lips and smiled, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being seen changing your shoes in front of the venue and becoming a topic of conversation?"

Tang Xin tilted her head and looked at Jiang Qi carefully for a moment, then thought for a moment and explained, "Miss, we're not going to a high-end club today, nor is it a serious occasion. There won't be that much going on. At most, there might be some entertainment reporters and celebrities present.

As for these people, it doesn't matter at all. "Anyone who dares to use you as a topic of conversation is courting death." Tang Xin's expression had taken on a fierce edge as he finished his words.

Jiang Qi looked at the person in front of her with admiration. It seemed that she had been growing up during the time they were apart. Now she was no longer the timid little girl in her memory.

A satisfied chuckle appeared on his lips, and then he looked away, turned his head to look at the scenery passing quickly outside the window and smiled: "I'm talking about you, not me."

Tang Xin glanced at Jiang Qi, curled her lips helplessly and said, "Then I don't care at all. They have their own mouths, so how can I shut them up with a handkerchief? Besides, haven't I been talked about enough? I'm used to it. It doesn't matter." Finally, Tang Xin waved her hand casually, as if to get rid of all her worries.

Jiang Qi was amused and he laughed out loud, "Ha!", his smile bright and casual.

Jiang Qi loves to laugh, but her smile is just a mask. It is rare to see a smile that comes from the heart like this one.

Seeing Jiang Qi like this, Tang Xin also curled her lips and chuckled, thinking, forget it, as long as she is happy.

"Ahem." Jiang Qi calmed down, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Tang Xin, remember what I said ten years ago: I'll protect you. This statement will stand as long as I'm alive."

The sudden change in the atmosphere made Tang Xin's heart skip a beat as she was driving. She subconsciously turned to look at the person next to her. However, the other person's eyes were always focused on the window, not even a glance at her.

Tang Xin wasn't sure what Jiang Qi was up to, so she asked tentatively with a smile, "What's up? Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

"I just want you to remember that you are mine. In this city, you don't have to compromise with anyone for anything except me." Jiang Qi's tone was indifferent, but this was her promise to Tang Xin.

Tang Xin understood Jiang Qi's intentions. Jiang Qi had offered her conditions to win her over. If she agreed, her future would be bright with Jiang Qi as her backer. But from now on, they were completely on the same side. No matter what happened, they were in the same camp, and they would prosper and suffer together.

Jiang Qi was now trying to confirm her position and get her to demonstrate her loyalty. From her own perspective, there was no reason to hesitate. With Jiang Qi's influence and resources, accepting her offer was a sure win.

Personally, her heart and stance had always been with Jiang Qi, without a single deviation. But now she wasn't just herself, and if Jiang Qi wanted...

Tang Xin hesitated for a moment and then confessed to Jiang Qi: "We have been together for so many years, and my heart has always been with you, but I really can't do anything about the Jing family."

After Tang Xin finished speaking, Jiang Qi finally turned around and looked at her with a complicated expression, as if she didn't understand what she meant.

Tang Xin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. She quickly glanced at her and said, "Don't look at me like that. I really can't do it. The Jing family will never accept my coercion or inducement."

"Puchi, hahaha..." Jiang Qi's laughter was loud and unrestrained in the car.

Tang Xin looked confused.

Jiang Qi was genuinely amused, and couldn't stop laughing for a moment. After a while, she recovered, took a deep breath to replenish the oxygen in her brain, and then said, "After all these years, I really like your straightforward nature."

Maybe it was because of a slight lack of oxygen, Jiang Qi's voice was soft and like a spoiled child. It made her ears and heart feel soft and itchy as if being scratched by a cat's paw.

But the next moment her voice returned to normal, "Did I say I wanted to use the Jing family? First of all, my mother has already set the rules. Politics, business, and the military. I can play with the other two, but I can never touch that one, not even a little. Besides, if I really want to use it, I really don't like the Jing family's things that are only good-looking but not practical." When Jiang Qi said the last sentence, her expression and tone were already naked disgust.

Tang Xin didn't dare to respond to Jiang Qi's words about the Jing family, not only because the Jing family was now her husband's family, but also because in this capital city, the words "Jing family" really shouldn't appear in people's casual conversation.

Besides, Jiang Qi is the only one in the world who is qualified to comment on and dare to say this about the Jing family, because her mother is Shi Jinhua.

Tang Xin couldn't and didn't dare to curiously ask Jiang Qi why she had such an evaluation of the Jing family. She could only return the conversation to herself, "We've been through this for so many years, and now you're suddenly asking me for my position. How can I not want to distort it?"

"When did I ever ask you for your position? After all these years, anyone who knows us, no one doesn't know that we have a good relationship."

"Then why did you tell me all that just now?" Tang Xin was even more puzzled.

"That's not... well." After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qi swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed his words: "What I mean is that if anyone dares to say a word about you again in the future, I will slap him in the face."

"Okay... I understand." Tang Xin nodded somewhat bewilderedly. She really didn't understand why Jiang Qi's brain circuits were so far apart. She had a hunch that Jiang Qi wanted her to do something at first, but then for some reason she gave up the idea.

In fact, Jiang Qi originally wanted to say that she would meet Su Muqing and Luo Keke at the auction venue later, and the plot required Tang Xin to quarrel with Luo Keke and even have a fight.

Jiang Qi's head ached slightly at the thought of this plot. She didn't know how Lin Yue could have thought of and written such a plot. She believed that the life and education she had given her were the best and most advanced of the time, but where on earth did she see and like this kind of thing? Jiang Qi was really puzzled.

From what I remember of Tang Xin, he was a cold-blooded person who would never get into conflict with anyone, let alone fight with them.

Jiang Qi couldn't just let Tang Xin start a fight with Luo Keke, or else she would have to come up with another excuse and it would be too troublesome. So she could only guide her appropriately, making things happen reasonably under the circumstances at that time.

She had tried it before at élégance Atelier, and with the tacit understanding between Tang Xin and 'her' having known each other for many years, her idea was not difficult to achieve.
