68: Chapter 68 What kind of fate is this? A karmic entanglement!

Qin Xun stared blankly at Xia Ning, looking completely bewildered.

A moment passed.

Xia Ning finally gathered the courage to look up at him, but she said nothing.

She placed the stun gun and the telescopic baton on the coffee table, took a bottle of tea drink from the fridge, and handed it to Qin Xun.

She said softly,

"You drink this."

Qin Xun took the drink naturally, unscrewed the cap, and brought it to his mouth.

"Explain yourself!"

"Why are you here?"

"And why do you have so many dangerous items in your hands?"

Xia Ning looked up, took a deep breath, and her face grew hot.

"Actually... I... I am your roommate."

Pfft!

Qin Xun couldn't stop coughing.

A spray of tea misted from Qin Xun's mouth and landed on Xia Ning's face.

Xia Ning was stunned for a moment. She wiped the tea off her face, walked silently to the coffee table, picked up the telescopic baton, and said coldly.

With her back to Qin Xun, she tried her best to make her tone sound fiercer.

"There's nothing left to explain!"

"I moved in first; you came later."

"And you call me a pervert every day?"

"Have you lost your sense of hierarchy?"

She turned around.

Xia Ning saw a figure zip past and dive into Qin Xun's bedroom, slamming the door shut.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Did she dodge a bullet?

It seems being an unreasonable woman isn't so bad!

No need for explanations!

Suddenly, she felt a sweetness at the corner of her mouth and instinctively licked it.

She realized immediately.

This was sprayed from Qin Xun's mouth, wasn't it?

I... I won't get diarrhea from this, right?

...

Qin Xun lay on his bed for an hour, unable to figure it out.

What kind of fate is this, really?

How did we end up becoming roommates in the same house?

A karmic debt!

Xia Ning moved in first, then me. It makes me look like a pervert, chasing her and pestering her?

Being together at work isn't enough; we have to be together after work too?

He sighed.

"I can't live in this house!"

...

The next day.

Qin Xun was woken up by his alarm. He tiptoed out of his room to wash up and found the sink wet.

He knew Xia Ning had already gone to work!

He let out a sigh of relief.

While washing his face, he shouted.

"And you have the nerve to call me a pervert?"

"You dirty woman who showers every day but doesn't change your clothes!"

Suddenly!

He sensed killing intent. He turned his head to see Xia Ning standing at her bedroom door, looking at him coldly.

Xia Ning lifted the bag in her hand and said coldly.

"I send my clothes to the laundry every day!"

Qin Xun: "..."

He smiled awkwardly.

"Xiao Xia, you aren't going to the company very early today!"

Xia Ning said expressionlessly: "I'm catching a ride today."

Qin Xun smiled: "Then I... wish you a safe trip."

Xia Ning: "You're driving me."

Qin Xun: "..."

"Okay..."

Xia Ning felt a bit helpless.

It wasn't that she wanted to hitch a ride, but she really had diarrhea several times last night, and her stomach was still very uncomfortable.

She had lingered in bed for a while longer.

She had no choice but to hitch a ride.

...

That day, the two of them arrived at the company right on time.

Sitting at their desks.

They were both silent, neither acknowledging the other.

Both of them felt a bit guilty.

When 9 o'clock arrived.

Xia Ning's phone rang. She checked it; it was Song Ying again.

She handed the phone to Qin Xun.

Qin Xun took it.

Song Ying's voice rang out.

"Brother, I'm at the elevator entrance of your office building. Are you coming down to see me, or should I come up to see you?"

Qin Xun sighed helplessly.

"I'll be down right away."

He hung up the phone.

Qin Xun whispered to Xia Ning.

"Whatever you do, don't give my contact information to Song Ying. She's too noisy!"

"So annoying!"

Xia Ning nodded expressionlessly, acting very aloof.

"Mm!"

Qin Xun glanced at her, silently complaining in his heart.

You aren't noisy, but you're annoying too!

...

As the office building elevator door opened.

Qin Xun saw a beautiful young girl in a slip dress standing at the elevator entrance, attracting the gaze of many office workers.

"Brother!"

"I finally waited for you!"

Song Ying smiled like a flower, rushed into the elevator, and pulled Qin Xun, who was preparing to walk out, back in.

She quickly pressed the button for the basement level.

Arriving at the underground parking lot.

Song Ying pointed happily at a brand-new black sports car and stuffed a car key into Qin Xun's hand.

"Brother, this is what I promised you."

"If you made me famous, I'd give you my birthday present—the sports car."

"It only cost 660,000 on the road; please don't look down on it."

Qin Xun looked at the brand-new sports car and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No!"

"It's too expensive!"

"I can't cheat a child out of her things!"

Song Ying puffed out her chest, a spectacular sight, and complained.

"I'm not a child anymore. When I say something, I mean it!"

Qin Xun waved his hand, about to refuse.

But he saw Song Ying tense up her face, tilt her head, and make a move to slam into the sports car.

"If you don't accept it, I'll smash it!"

Qin Xun: "..."

Who uses their head to smash a car?

Isn't that retarded?

Seeing Qin Xun remain indifferent, Song Ying hardened her heart, pushed off with her feet, and began to charge toward the sports car.

Is she actually retarded?

Qin Xun panicked and reached out to grab her back shoulder.

As luck would have it, he grabbed a spaghetti strap.

Song Ying felt her body jerk to a halt. A lot of wind hit her back, making it feel a bit chilly. She turned her head and saw a dumbfounded Qin Xun.

He was staring blankly, holding her shoulder strap.

Their eyes met. How damn awkward.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind.

"Qin Xun, do you have to strip the little girl's dress off to be satisfied?"

Qin Xun came to his senses and let go.

Snap!

A crisp sound!

"Ouch!"

Song Ying cried out in pain, squatted down, and reached her left hand behind her back to rub her reddened skin.

There seemed to be tears in her eyes.

Qin Xun glanced at Xia Ning, who had appeared like a ghost behind him, but saw her turn her head away, not intending to intervene.

Sigh...

Have to coax a child again?

Qin Xun walked over, squatted down, and took the car keys from her hand.

"Give me the car, and I'll give you 《Song of Longing》."

Song Ying looked up, feeling a bit excited.

From now on, she would have a signature song!

She opened her arms, wanting to give Qin Xun a big hug.

But she saw Xia Ning step forward quickly, grab Qin Xun by the collar, and drag him backward.

Qin Xun sat on the ground, looking up at Xia Ning's chin.

"Good grief!"

"You're this strong?"

"I believe it now. You really did win the championship in the 7th Haicheng Children's Taekwondo Competition."

Song Ying: "..."

She squatted on the ground, looking at Xia Ning with a resentful face.

"Big sister, I'm about to go to college and leave Haicheng. I'll only come home during the holidays."

"Stop ruining my good things every single time!"

Xia Ning glanced at Song Ying indifferently and said nothing.

She gave a light kick to Qin Xun, who was sitting on the ground.

"The company has received a lot of new emails to process, and too many companies are seeking your cooperation. Behave yourself today and don't run around."

When Qin Xun heard this, his eyes lit up, and he climbed up from the ground.

"The busier the work, the more you need to relax."

"It's the perfect season for slacking off; how can I miss it?"

Song Ying is about to go to school.

Shouldn't I squeeze the last bit of residual value out of her?

And reap a wave of slacking-off value?

Xia Ning felt helpless and could only follow.

In case he gets snatched by a headhunting firm on the road, that would be bad.

Last night, he probably wasn't sober, which is why he wasn't tempted by a base salary of 50,000 a month.

...

Qin Xun and Song Ying went to handle the car title transfer procedures.

He drove the car with the two beauties for a few laps on the mountain, then went to the amusement park to ride the roller coaster, and then strolled through the snack street.

An afternoon passed quickly.

Song Ying was very happy.

Xia Ning showed no joy or anger.

When 6 o'clock arrived.

Qin Xun checked his slacking-off value.

[49980]

He was only 20 points away from being able to draw a prize!

He felt a bit regretful.

Just a little bit off!

He had to deliver two food orders tonight to try and accumulate enough slacking-off value!

Song Ying didn't seem to get tired.

"Brother, shall we go to the North City Night Market?"

Qin Xun shook his head.

"No, I'm off work."

Song Ying: "..."

This time, she wouldn't have it and acted coquettishly.

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"

Xia Ning couldn't bear to watch. Thinking about what Song Ying said in the afternoon about "not ruining her good things," she suppressed the urge to help Qin Xun out.

She turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and said coldly.

"If you don't come home tonight, just wait and die!"

Qin Xun: "???"

Song Ying's face turned a bit red.

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning's back, then at Song Ying, who was still acting coquettishly.

He had a headache.

A huge one!
