The room was quiet, and the two attendants looked tentatively at Yan Chen.
Seeing that Yan Chen's face was as if he had nothing to do with it, they immediately understood and pulled Sisi out.
Sisi struggled a few times, her voice rising a bit: "Brother Chen, you're just going to watch him like this..."
Before her wronged and complaining words were finished, she was already dragged out.
Xiao Liyan remained the same gentlemanly and elegant demeanor, as if he hadn't seen Qin He directing people to drag someone out.
He put the dice back into the dice cup on the table and looked up at Qin He: "Do you still want to play?"
"No more." Qin He sat on the sofa, glanced at Yan Chen, "What's with your taste? Young Master Yan, you should improve your taste in girlfriends!"
Yan Chen looked innocent: "If I improve my taste, then the options for appearance become narrower. Actually, I don't have too high requirements for a girlfriend, as long as she's pretty."
Qin He "tsk"ed.
Gu Qichen, who was on the side, remained silent. He had actually planned to drive that woman away just now, but he didn't expect Qin He to not need any help.
She was not a dodder that needed a man's protection; she had already kicked the person out herself.
With only a few of them left, they weren't very interested in "Truth or Dare" anymore and didn't continue playing.
Qin He finished half a glass of juice and looked up at Yan Chen, asking somewhat lazily, "How long are you guys going to party?"
She had come over today solely because she had promised Yan Chen a condition before. Now, it seemed there was nothing else to do besides this gathering.
Qin He looked in the distance. Yan Chen's friends were singing over there, their voices loud and boisterous. It was clear they had drunk too much, knocking over wine bottles, and the entire private room was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Seeing Gu Qichen frowning, Yan Chen looked over there helplessly: "Should I ask them to leave first?"
"No need." Gu Qichen stood up and picked up his jacket from the sofa.
He looked at Qin He: "Let me give you a ride home."
Qin He didn't want to stay here either and took advantage of Gu Qichen's words to get up.
After bidding farewell to Yan Chen and Xiao Liyan, she got up and walked towards the exit.
When the two of them reached the floor downstairs of the club, Qin He saw Sisi being stopped by the security guards at the entrance.
Sisi didn't see her and Gu Qichen coming out at this moment. She was full of ferocity and arrogantly shouted, "Get out of the way! Do you know who I am? I'm your boss's girlfriend!"
Her demeanor was as if she were the boss's wife.
Yan Chen had a notorious reputation, changing girlfriends faster than changing clothes.
The security guards remained unmoved. Sisi stomped her feet in a hurry and then saw Gu Qichen and Qin He walking out of the club.
She gritted her teeth and, clenching her fists, rushed forward.
"Miss Qin, I don't know what I did to offend you, and I can apologize, but can you ask them to be accommodating and let me in!"
After finally catching a rich man, how could she be so easily dumped!
Qin He frowned slightly. Before she could speak, Gu Qichen had already stepped in front of her.
His eyes were cold, and he reached out to stop Sisi from grabbing Qin He's hand.
"Get -- out -- of -- the -- way --"
A sense of pressure emanated from Gu Qichen, and Sisi's hands trembled.
The man she had seen in the private room earlier had an outwardly refined, noble demeanor with his sharp edges concealed.
But now, she inexplicably felt a sense of fear!
Sisi gritted her teeth and took two steps back.
Qin He had already walked past them and ahead.
Gu Qichen glanced at Sisi and followed her.
As they descended the steps, a waiter had already driven Qin He's car over.
Qin He looked at Gu Qichen: "Thank you today, but I don't need you to give me a ride. I drove myself."
She opened the car door to get in, but Gu Qichen reached out and stopped her.
"Are you avoiding me lately?"
Qin He felt a little awkward. She was indeed avoiding him.
But she wouldn't admit it, and her mouth was still stiff: "No, maybe it's your imagination."
Gu Qichen pursed his lips, his eyes cold: "You said that all our past affairs were wiped clean."
Qin He was momentarily at a loss for words. Gu Qichen in front of her was, after all, her savior.
She sighed slightly: "I'm not avoiding you. It might have just been a coincidence before. Besides, there's nothing much going on in the West District now. Qingcheng is so big, it's normal not to run into each other."
Gu Qichen scrutinized Qin He, knowing she was lying.
But there was no need to expose her.
"If you're not, then give me a ride." Gu Qichen suddenly said.
Qin He had no choice.
Gu Qichen stood up and said, "I had a drink earlier, I can't drive."
With that, it was difficult for Qin He to refuse.
Once he sat in the passenger seat, that familiar sense of pressure returned.
Qin He drove, forcing herself to ignore Gu Qichen's presence: "Are you going back to Senyuan or the old Gu family residence?"
"Senyuan."
The car drove through the night, and Gu Qichen had a faint smell of alcohol about him.
Qin He gripped the steering wheel. When the car stopped at a traffic light, she cautiously glanced at the rear-view mirror.
The incident last time had made her more guarded everywhere she went.
Gu Qichen looked up, seeming to know what she was worried about.
"Yu Jing is investigating what happened last time. I'll inform you when there are results."
Qin He nodded: "I'm investigating on my end too."
The Qin family naturally had the influence to investigate this matter themselves, so Gu Qichen didn't ask further.
When Qin He drove to Senyuan, Gu Qichen had been silent for a long time.
"Gu Qichen." After calling out a few times and finding no response,
Qin He turned her head and saw Gu Qichen sitting in the passenger seat, seemingly asleep.
His dark eyes were now closed, and his long, curled eyelashes cast slight shadows on his face.
Under the streetlights outside, his skin was like jade, and his facial lines were sharp, but the usual intimidating coldness was absent.
Qin He was slightly stunned.
The car was quiet for a moment. She frowned slightly. Thinking of Gu Qichen these past few days had somehow affected her mood—
Qin He tentatively leaned closer, observing the man's profile.
Why had she fallen in love with him before? Did she just like this type?
Qin He's gaze slowly swept over Gu Qichen's features, and she couldn't help but sigh at the creator's favoritism.
A few strands of his fringe fell on his forehead, obscuring his ink-black sword-like eyebrows.
Qin He's hand moved faster than her mind, reaching out to tuck them away—.oγg
His eyes suddenly opened.
His deep, dark eyes held a vortex that drew one in. Qin He tried to withdraw her hand, but Gu Qichen was faster, grabbing her wrist!
The two of them looked at each other, and Qin He felt a little guilty.
Gu Qichen's voice was deep and mellow: "What were you trying to do?"
