Quenching

"what?"

"hurry up."

Wu Haofeng delivered a vicious kick, and Xing Songfeng rubbed his buttocks as he removed his leg irons.

Wu Haofeng, who was waiting at the door, checked the community's surveillance footage on his phone again and confirmed that Huang Qiaqia had only been recorded entering the house once in the past few days.

"Wu Haofeng".

At Xing Songfeng's shout, Wu Haofeng, who had been frowning, looked up, his eyes wide, and immediately ran to the elevator entrance, reaching out to block the elevator door.

In Wanli's hospital ward, Xing Songfeng nudged Wu Haofeng beside him and whispered a reminder.

"This little girl seems to have lost a lot of weight?"

"you sure?"

"I wanted to carry her out on my back, but she couldn't hold on, so I had to pick her up in my arms."

Wu Haofeng glanced at Bai Xingsong with disdain, completely unconcerned.

"He's just lying there unconscious, why are you thinking so much? Why don't you pick him up right away?"

Xing Songfeng leaned closer to Wu Haofeng and lowered his voice.

"I saw her crying in a daze, and I felt she was conscious. Later, she really couldn't hold on anymore, and her thin pajamas had bluish marks on them, so I put a coat on her first, and then I held her..."

"Qingyinzi...she and the eldest young master...you've arrived?"

Panting, Wanli Fuguang rushed to Huang Qiaqia's bedside, grasped her hand tightly, and looked at her with helplessness and worry.

"How are people?"

"Cousin, it's nothing serious, don't worry."

"Young Master, we'll be leaving now."

The two quietly left the room, then huddled together again.

Why is my cousin in such a hurry?

"Yeah, nobody's against them, let's take it slow."

"Why are you biting your calves? Could it be because of your love rival?!"

"Are you out of your mind?! You're their biggest rival, always causing trouble?"

Xing Songfeng suddenly stopped and grabbed Wu Haofeng's arm, reminding him.

"You can't leave, we're here to get our money back."

"What kind of money do you need in this situation?"

"I don't have a single penny in my pocket right now, and I'm having trouble even getting food."

"It's your fault! I told you not to eat lobster, but you wouldn't listen. Come home and eat!"

Xing Songfeng glared at Wu Haofeng, shoved him away hard, and cursed.

"You're driving a luxury car here to see my cousin, but he won't let me use a single credit card. I walked for four hours straight to come see him."

"Are you stupid? You can find a dollar to take the bus by rummaging through the vending machine for coins."

"Are you stupid? Everyone uses electronic payments now, how many people still use cash? I've cleaned up almost all seven vending machines and haven't found a single penny!"

Wu Haofeng sighed, turned around and went back to the ward, but Xing Songfeng grabbed him and reminded him.

"If they start eating, it wouldn't be good for us to interfere!"

"What an animal! It's still gnawing on its own bed."

Wu Haofeng shook his head, and the next second, with a sudden burst of force, Xing Songfeng appeared abruptly in Huang Qiaqia's indifferent gaze.

Wanli Fuguang gently stroked Huang Qiaqia's hair, comforting her.

"It's my fault for being too careless. Luckily, Xing Songfeng and Wu Haofeng found you and brought you here."

Wanli Fuguang's response was still indifference.

Wanli Fuguang's mind raced, and he gave Xing Songfeng a look. Xing Songfeng then glared at Huang Qiaqia, who was lying on the hospital bed with a deathly pale face, and cursed loudly.

"You little brat, my cousin is the family heir, he doesn't have time to mess around with you."

Huang Qiaqia's empty eyes seemed to show a slight reaction, and her breathing could be heard slowly.

Wanli Fuguang glanced at him indifferently, and Wu Haofeng understood the name written on Wanli Fuguang's fingertips. He immediately stood next to Huang Qiaqia and warned Xing Songfeng face to face.

"Xing Songfeng, everyone's tolerance has its limits. Don't act like a spoiled brat. Huang Qiaqia's family won't allow you to bully Huang Qiaqia again and again."

Huang Qiaqia, breathing rapidly, gradually showed anger in her eyes.

“Little brat, I don’t care whether my family agrees with you or not, and I don’t care whether Sheng Shanxing is from your family or not. I, Xing Songfeng, am firmly against you being with my cousin.”

Huang Qiaqia, his chest heaving, gripped Wanli Fuguang's arm tightly, stood up abruptly, grabbed the water glass from the bedside table and threw it forcefully. Wu Haofeng, quick as a flash, grabbed a pillow and shoved it steadily behind Huang Qiaqia's back.

"You little brat, you..."

Xing Songfeng shook the water off his hands, his gaze searching for tissues finally landing on the phone under Wanli Fuguang's fingertips, and he continued cursing.

"So what if you announce it to the whole world? I object, so you can't be with my cousin, and your announcement is invalid."

Huang Qiaqia, trembling all over, found her phone, and on the social media platform, resolutely typed out a message and awkwardly sent it out.

"If Wanli Fuguang marries me, I will marry him; no one can stop me."

Sheng Shanxing held his phone, stared at the ticking clock, and gave a wry smile.

"what happened?"

Kong Yanfei nestled against Sheng Shanxing's arm, never leaving his side.

"Wanli Fuguang didn't tell Huang Qiaqia that I opposed them, but he did have a way of telling me about Huang Qiaqia's resolute decision."

Kong Yanfei's delicate, pale fingertips brushed against Sheng Shanxing's chin, the scent of gardenias gently drawing his gaze. Sheng Shanxing grasped Kong Yanfei's fingertips, staring at her alluring face, and then picked her up in one swift motion.

"What are you doing?"

Kong Yanfei pushed Sheng Shanxing away in surprise, but he gripped her slender wrist tightly, pressed her down on the bed, and slowly peeled off Kong Yanfei's thin skirt.

"No."

"You've already gone back to work during the day, so you should be going back to work at night too!"

*******

Wanli Fuguang released Huang Qiaqia's suitcase, held Huang Qiaqia's chubby little hand, and gave her another word of advice.

"I won't restrict your time or place, but you must be careful not to go too crazy."

“My dear old man, you’ve said it eight hundred times already, I’ve memorized it.”

"besides……"

"Don't worry about bothering you, just call me if you need anything."

Huang Qiaqia frowned slightly, gently kissed Wanli Fuguang's cheek, put on her sunglasses, and turned to walk towards the boarding gate.

Bai Shih pulled down his sunglasses, put one hand in his pocket, and followed Huang Qiaqia, who was hopping and skipping.

******

Qi Shengmei, the owner of Xuanfei Casino, hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

His men carefully offered him a cigar and inquired.

"Even the expert you hired can't figure out what the problem is."

Qi Shengmei pushed away his cigar and let out a long sigh.

"Boss, is that kid who always wins money here again? We can't afford to lose any more!"

"Can't you tell the boy's technique?"

"We surround the boy, but even a whole group of people can't find any flaws. Or should we just deal with the boy directly?"

"Are you sure you can handle the boy? Go and call him in!"

Qi Shengmei slowly got up from the boss's chair and sat on the sofa next to her.

"Come, come, sit down. Young man, I really admire your skills, I..."

The boy who pushed open the door got straight to the point, throwing out a single sentence.

"Boss Qi Shengmei, our boss wants your casino to close for three days."
