When Fu Miaoxi came downstairs wearing a cotton jacket, hot porridge was already on the table, with some side dishes around it.
"Thank you."
Fu Miaoxi drank the porridge in small sips. Actually, she was not particularly hungry, but she just couldn't sleep. If she didn't find something to do, she would probably have to stay in bed.
Jiang Qiwu advised Fu Miaoxi: "Miss, just eat until you are 70% full, otherwise it will be difficult to fall asleep later."
Fu Miaoxi felt a little strange. Usually, these bodyguards were like cold-blooded killers and never said a word to her, so why was this one so proactive?
"What's your name?"
"Jiang Qiwu."
"Your surname is also Jiang?" Fu Miaoxi was surprised and looked at the young man in front of her.
Jiang Qiwu seems to have some European and American ancestry, and his appearance is a little different from that of Chinese people. He has absolutely no similarities with Jiang Qingyan.
"Yes, I changed my name after I followed the boss."
Fu Miaoxi said "oh", and it was probably some shameful dark history. She was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she could continue asking.
"Five years ago, I was fighting in an underground boxing ring. I was caught fighting in an illegal boxing ring and was about to die. It was Boss Jiang who saved me."
Fu Miaoxi widened her eyes. Has her uncle ever been involved in this kind of circle?
But Jiang Qiwu actually started boxing a few years ago, so he looks only twenty years old now?
"How old are you?"
"Almost twenty-two."
"So... you started boxing before you even reached adulthood?"
Jiang Qiwu nodded: "It started when I was sixteen."
Alas, we are all wanderers in this world... When Fu Miaoxi thinks that there are always people in this world who have a worse fate than herself, she no longer feels that she has been wronged in the past ten years.
Jiang Qiwu saw that Fu Miaoxi had finished half a bowl of porridge and had no intention of picking up her chopsticks. He suggested, "Miss, would you like to go to the theater to watch a movie? I'll find you a blanket."
Fu Miaoxi hesitated for a moment: "I'll go back to my room. It seems that staying outside will be too much trouble for you."
Ever since she came down to have a meal, the number of bodyguards inside the mansion has visibly increased, which made Fu Miaoxi feel a little uneasy. She didn't want to mobilize so many troops.
Jiang Qiwu understood in his heart that it seemed that Fu Miaoxi was not used to this kind of grand occasion with so many people around.
"I was inconsiderate. I asked them to evacuate somewhere else. If you're not sleepy, I'll go to the movies with you."
He didn't dare let Jiang Qingyan see a poor little thing curled up in the quilt when he came back.
Now Jiang Qingyan's heart and eyes are obviously full of this little girl. To make her happy is to make Jiang Qingyan happy.
So there was this scene where Fu Miaoxi was curled up on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, chatting casually with Jiang Qiwu who was standing beside her.
"Did my uncle often go to the underground boxing ring before?"
"At that time, the boss was raising funds to open a casino. The casino needed a lot of thugs, so he often went to the boxing ring to recruit suitable people."
Fu Miaoxi finally got a glimpse of Jiang Qingyan's past: "So, is my uncle still running the casino now?"
Jiang Qiwu answered every question he asked. They were all old stories, so it didn't matter if he told them. "No more. When Shi He got back on track, the boss liquidated all the underground businesses."
"So what are you doing now?"
"The boss owns a legitimate security company, and I worked for him overseas before. This time, because something happened to you, Miss, the boss transferred a lot of people back."
"I see. Thank you for your hard work. By the way, are you mixed-race? I feel like you look a little different from people from your own country."
"My grandmother is Russian, and I am of Chinese and Russian descent."
Fu Miaoxi smiled and complimented, "If you didn't work in this field, you could have become a star just by relying on your looks."
"Miss, you're joking." Jiang Qiwu was rather indifferent to the world, "If I hadn't done this, I might not have lived to this age."
"Uncle, do you understand something too..." Fu Miaoxi didn't know how to describe it, so she just stretched out her hand and made a fist to demonstrate.
Jiang Qiwu nodded. "The boss knows some free-fighting. People in the underground industry sometimes prefer fists. It's better to rely on fists than to buy connections with money."
"My uncle is really amazing," Fu Miaoxi yawned slightly and wrapped herself in the duvet. "It would be great if I could also learn some self-defense skills."
Jiang Qiwu disagreed: "You can't beat a strong opponent. Miss, you are a girl after all, and you were knocked unconscious and taken away. If you resist, you might suffer more consequences."
Fu Miaoxi exclaimed, "How did you know I was electrocuted? The pain was so severe that I felt my legs twitching all day. If I ever get the chance to see Si Chen again, I'll give him one too."
Fu Miaoxi sounded a little angry at the end of her speech.
Jiang Qiwu didn't tell Fu Miaoxi that she probably wouldn't have the chance to see Si Chen again. Jiang Qingyan was afraid that tonight, Si Chen would regret kidnapping Fu Miaoxi.
He changed the subject: "Why did the young lady give Li Zhu's phone number to the victims at that time?"
Fu Miaoxi was a little confused: "Isn't it possible? It was those girls who suggested that I could make the call. I thought they had some good ideas for getting rescued, so I gave it to them."
Jiang Qiwu shook his head: "Miss, you misunderstood."
"It was because the lady gave them the number and they dialed it that we were able to locate your location so quickly."
"My question is, why did the lady give Li Zhu's phone number instead of the boss's?"
Fu Miaoxi scratched her face and said, "Because I only remember my uncle's private phone number, not his public phone number. I'm afraid that leaking his private phone number will cause him unnecessary trouble."
Jiang Qiwu widened his eyes and raised his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Qiwu said gently, "The boss is a little jealous because of this. He feels that if you are in danger, you should think of him first."
Fu Miaoxi buried her face in the quilt and yawned again: "Then I'll explain it to him tomorrow."
"Miss, are you sleepy? If so, why not go upstairs and rest?"
Jiang Qiwu glanced at the time. It was almost three o'clock. He guessed that Jiang Qingyan should be back by now.
"It's comfortable here. Tell your uncle when he comes back. I'll stay here first..."
Before he could finish his words, Fu Miaoxi tilted his head and fell asleep.
Jiang Qiwu turned down the volume of the movie, stepped out of the door and half-closed it.
"Boss, the boss's affairs have been successfully handled. He will probably be back soon."
Jiang Qiwu nodded: "The young lady is asleep in there. When the boss comes back, tell him. I will stay here to watch over her."
The first thing Jiang Qingyan did when he came back was to go downstairs to find Fu Miaoxi.
"Why did she fall asleep downstairs?"
"Maybe the young lady didn't want to stay alone in the bedroom. After waking up, she said she was hungry. After drinking half a bowl of porridge, I suggested that she watch a movie."
Jiang Qiwu smelled the blood on Jiang Qingyan's body: "Boss, let me do this kind of thing in the future."
Jiang Qingyan shook his head, not sure whether he was saying that there wouldn't be a next time or rejecting Jiang Qiwu.
"Stay here for a while. I'll go upstairs to take a shower and change clothes before coming down."
"By the way, go find Li Zhen tomorrow. I asked him to customize a little thing for Fu Miaomiao."
