67: Chapter 67 Xia! You didn't run away?!

The number displayed on Qin Xun's phone was an unfamiliar one, with no contact name attached.

Xia Ning frowned slightly, her feminine intuition kicking in.

This must be a headhunter!

She hung up the phone.

The phone rang again; it was another unfamiliar number.

Xia Ning hung up again, sat on the edge of the bed, and glanced at the sleeping Qin Xun.

She quietly picked up Qin Xun's hand and used his thumb to unlock the phone.

Sure enough, she saw a text message notification pop up.

She tapped it to take a look.

"Mr. Qin, hello! This is Feibao Headhunting Company."

"Several marketing firms are currently offering extremely generous terms, with the highest reaching a monthly salary of 50,000, plus a huge bonus. We cordially invite you to join us."

"Are you available to take a call?"

Immediately after, another strange number called in.

Xia Ning kept a cold face, hung up the phone, and deleted the text message.

She glanced at Qin Xun and quietly deleted the call history.

Then, she adjusted his phone's communication whitelist, setting it so that apart from the numbers already in his contacts, all other unfamiliar numbers...

…would be blocked from calling!

…and blocked from sending messages!

After finishing all this, Xia Ning put down Qin Xun's phone and crept out like a thief.

Suddenly!

She felt her left hand being gripped by a large hand.

It was a very tight, strong grip!

"Drunken misconduct!"

These four words blared like an alarm in Xia Ning's mind.

She turned around cautiously and saw Qin Xun lying on the bed, his eyes slightly open, speaking in a slurred voice.

"Xia Ning..."

Xia Ning felt a bit nervous.

But then she heard Qin Xun let go of her hand and clumsily make a shushing gesture.

"You... run."

"My roommate is... a pervert."

"Quietly."

"Don't get caught..."

"We'll... beat him to death... another day!"

Xia Ning: "..."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also somewhat relieved that her mischief hadn't been discovered by Qin Xun.

At the same time, she felt a bit awkward.

Thinking back to when they were in the private room, Qin Xun had invited her to go with him to ambush his perverted roommate, yet now he was telling her to leave quietly.

He must have judged that he wasn't in a fighting state right now.

He wants to fight another day?

Qin Xun is actually a pretty decent guy!

Xia Ning walked out of Qin Xun's room and closed the door.

She sighed.

She felt that things were becoming increasingly awkward.

In the current situation, it wouldn't be right for her to show herself, but it wouldn't be right to stay hidden either.

For a moment, she didn't know how to face him.

She quietly returned to her room.

Xia Ning sat by the window in a daze for a while, watching the rain outside getting heavier.

It was already dusk.

The sky was gradually darkening.

...

In the middle of the night.

Xia Ning was sleeping in bed when she was suddenly awakened by a thumping sound.

In the darkness.

She sat up groggily, listening to the "thumping" sounds that seemed to be coming from the living room, feeling a bit nervous.

What was that sound?

Was Qin Xun throwing a drunken tantrum?

Xia Ning pulled her legs up, clutched her quilt tightly to her chest, and pricked up her ears to listen for a while.

The "thumping" sound in the living room continued, and faintly, she could hear people talking.

Wrapped in her quilt, Xia Ning picked up the phone from the nightstand and opened the surveillance interface.

When she looked, she couldn't help but be stunned!

The lights were on in the living room.

Qin Xun was squatting behind the door of the rented apartment, actually picking up money off the floor.

And that money was still being pushed in from under the door gap, one bill after another.

Qin Xun was not being polite at all, picking them up one by one and stuffing them into his trouser pocket.

Through the surveillance, the sounds from the living room reached Xia Ning's ears clearly.

Outside the door.

Several men's voices were shouting.

"Mr. Qin, please open the door!"

"The gap is too small, we can't push much through."

"We came here with full sincerity!"

Suddenly.

A woman's voice rang out, sounding so syrupy it could stretch.

Just by hearing that voice, one could tell that the woman wasn't wearing much.

"Mr. Qin, take a look through the peephole, I'm also full of sincerity."

"Open the door!"

Immediately after, a young girl's voice started singing.

"It must be a special fate that brought us together to become a family."

"Brother, open the door!"

"I'm your fan, I've been a fan since you sold apples!"

"Brother, open the door!"

...

Qin Xun shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless.

Did he finally understand why celebrities hated sasaeng fans so much?

Who comes to someone's door in the middle of the night to sing?

If I open this door, will my belt even stay on?

Before long.

Under the door gap, more red bills were being pushed in one by one.

"Mr. Qin, open the door!"

"It's just money, right? We brought plenty."

Qin Xun stuffed them into his pocket one by one, but simply refused to speak.

The people outside were getting anxious!

"Mr. Qin, don't just take the money and not say anything!"

"One hundred yuan for one sentence, okay?"

Qin Xun remained indifferent, silently picking them up without saying a word.

...

Suddenly.

He heard footsteps behind him, turned his head, and couldn't help but be stunned!

Xia Ning was wearing a nightgown, her face cold, looking very displeased.

Qin Xun hadn't fully sobered up, his head still a bit foggy.

He stood up and saw Xia Ning in a skimpy nightgown, looking very hot; his heart tightened.

With a sorrowful tone, he said in a trembling voice.

"Xia... Xia Ning, you... you didn't leave?"

"Did my perverted roommate ruin you?"

Xia Ning: "???"

She was stunned!

Looking at the remorse, sadness, and pain on Qin Xun's face, for some reason, she felt a bit better.

Seeing Xia Ning's silence, Qin Xun's eyes bloodshot, he clenched his fists and strode toward Xia Ning's bedroom.

"Xia Ning, call the police."

"And call an ambulance!"

"I'm going to destroy that animal!"

"It's all my fault! Even if I have to go to jail, I'm going to cut off his lineage!"

As he walked past Xia Ning, he suddenly heard a soft voice.

"I'm fine."

Qin Xun turned around and saw that Xia Ning's face actually held a trace of a slightly embarrassed smile, and he gradually calmed down.

His gaze fell on her hands, and he was startled.

Only then did he notice that Xia Ning was holding a stun baton in her left hand and a telescopic baton in her right, looking like she was ready to hack her way from the Southern Heavenly Gate to Penglai East Road.

Seeing the situation was not good, Qin Xun quietly took a step back.

"Xia Ning, what are you doing?"

Xia Ning smiled faintly, then composed her expression, became very cold, turned around, walked to the door, and opened it.

As soon as the door opened!

The four or five men, women, and young girls outside the door cried out in surprise.

"The door is open!"

"The door is open!"

What came into view was a cold, aloof woman, holding a stun baton in her left hand and a telescopic baton in her right.

They all went quiet for a moment.

After a moment, someone gathered their courage.

"Hello, we are looking for Mr. Qin."

Xia Ning said coldly.

"You're crying at the wrong grave; there's no such person here!"

The person hesitated for a moment.

"Then can you give me back the money I pushed in?"

Xia Ning pressed the button on the stun baton, which crackled with electricity and sparked.

"Get lost!"

"Do you want me to call the police?"

The men outside scattered instantly.

Knocking on a woman's door in the middle of the night could land you in jail.

Xia Ning coldly glanced at a girl who was still left outside the door.

She was dressed very skimpily, with her small, fragrant-style jacket pulled down, revealing her smooth, tender shoulders.

She said coldly.

"Put your clothes on properly, and you get lost too."

The girl was a bit bewildered.

"Oh... okay."

Seeing that everyone had run off, Xia Ning closed the door and locked it.

Turning around, she saw Qin Xun looking stunned.

"Xia Ning, you..."

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun, her face gradually turning red, and she lowered her head, saying in a voice as small as a mosquito's.

"Let me explain."
