71: Chapter 71 Schrödinger's Gentleman

"What?"

Qin Xun could hardly believe his ears.

When Xia Ning transferred the money to him earlier, she hadn't hesitated for a single second. How had she suddenly turned on him now?

Hah—women!

Xia Ning kept a cold face, staring at Qin Xun.

"I think you're swindling me out of my money."

Qin Xun was speechless.

"Why do you think that?"

Xia Ning turned her head to look at the TV and explained.

"I remember you took some money from under the door gap from someone yesterday."

Qin Xun replied.

"It was only nine hundred yuan. Renting an apartment usually requires a two-month deposit plus one month's rent; that little bit of money isn't enough at all."

Xia Ning didn't change her expression and said again.

"I remember Boss Zhao Dehai gave you a watch, as well as ginseng, velvet antler, and other supplements. These things are very easy to cash in."

"Are you really short on money?"

As soon as she said it, she immediately regretted it!

Wasn't she just reminding him how to make money?

But she heard Qin Xun say.

"The watch and the supplements, I sent them all back home."

Xia Ning turned her head and looked at Qin Xun quietly.

Qin Xun explained.

"You might not believe it if I told you."

"I was especially mischievous when I was little, caused a lot of trouble for my family, and I've always felt a bit indebted to them."

Xia Ning: "..."

What was there not to believe?

Some people are definitely bad from childhood all the way to adulthood.

Like you!

Qin Xun sighed and continued.

"Plus, my mom has been pressuring me hard to find a girlfriend lately."

"So I sent everything back to bribe my mom and get her to let me off the hook."

Xia Ning gave a faint, bitter smile; she could understand how Qin Xun felt.

Parents all seem to be the same.

When you're studying, they guard against it strictly and won't let you date.

Once the child graduates, they wish for them to reach the top in one step.

After hearing Qin Xun's explanation, Xia Ning could roughly guess that he didn't have much money left. Her mood improved slightly, and she asked.

"Why do you want to move out?"

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning, held up one finger, and said with a serious face.

"First, you're a woman and I'm a man. It's not suitable for us to live together, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

"I have to be responsible to my future girlfriend."

He looked down at Xia Ning's stomach.

"You also need to be responsible for... yourself."

Looking at Qin Xun's serious expression—a rare sight—Xia Ning felt a bit stifled.

She was a girl who had already thrown caution to the wind!

Why was he, a man, being so pretentious here?

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun quietly without speaking.

Qin Xun held up a second finger and continued with a serious face.

"Second, looking at the situation with people blocking the door last night, my information about living here might have been exposed."

"I'm considered a bit famous now, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, I need to relocate."

Hearing this reason, Xia Ning's mood improved a bit more.

This place really wasn't suitable for living anymore!

Qin Xun glanced at Xia Ning, who was wearing a nightgown and exuding a cold, lazy temperament, and reminded her earnestly.

"Little Xia, you're a young woman; don't live with others in the future, especially men."

"If I weren't an upright gentleman, if it were any other man seeing a woman like you wearing a nightgown, wouldn't he be even more ferocious than a lion on the savanna?"

Xia Ning's face flushed slightly as she turned her head to look at the TV.

On the screen, that male lion was mounting the lioness again.

Tireless and reckless.

Her face felt hot. She turned her head away, not daring to look at the TV, and even less daring to look at Qin Xun, saying softly.

"I'm prepared."

Qin Xun didn't understand and didn't want to ask.

For a pregnant woman, one must handle boundaries well; one cannot be overly inquisitive or concerned.

Just stopping at the right point is enough!

Suddenly!

"Thump, thump, thump, thump!"

A round of knocking sounded.

Someone called out from outside the door.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin!"

"I'm Xiao Zhang from Feibao Headhunting Company. Are you home?"

"I was here yesterday!"

"Yesterday, we were bluffed by your girlfriend and tricked into leaving!"

Xia Ning was slightly stunned and sneered.

Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives!

Qin Xun stood up, ran over quietly, and squatted behind the door.

Sure enough, after a while.

One red bill after another was pushed in from under the gap in the door.

This speed was much faster than yesterday!

In a short while, he had collected three hundred.

Seeing this, Xia Ning was a bit worried that Qin Xun had collected enough money from the gap under the door to rent a place elsewhere, so she quickly walked to the bedroom and retrieved a weapon.

She came out of the bedroom.

She walked quickly behind Qin Xun, and seeing him reaching out to pick up the money again, she stepped on it.

Qin Xun was stunned; he looked up and got a fright.

He saw Xia Ning with a cold face, holding a high-tech compound bow in her hand.

This was something he had only ever seen on TV.

He exclaimed.

"What is this?"

Xia Ning signaled with her eyes for Qin Xun to move aside.

Qin Xun stood up and hid to the side, standing in the corner of the living room.

Watching from afar, Xia Ning was a tall, cold, and beautiful woman wearing a black nightgown and holding a compound bow.

She opened the door.

Xia Ning nocked an arrow, drew the bow, and aimed at the three men outside the door.

"I'll tell you one more time, you're crying at the wrong grave!"

"Get lost!"

The three men looked at the arrowhead, felt a tightness between their brows, and were so scared their sphincters tightened; they didn't dare say a word and turned to run.

What kind of woman was this?

Yesterday it was a stun gun and a baton.

Today, she actually brought out a bow?

Could it be that tomorrow she'll show up carrying a Gatling gun?

Was Mr. Qin's taste so heavy?

Cosplaying to this extent?

Xia Ning lowered the bow, closed the door, and turned to look at the dumbfounded Qin Xun, smiling a little embarrassedly.

"I told you, I'm prepared."

She paused.

The smile on her face grew wider.

"If the man living with me has ulterior motives, I'll make him regret it."

Qin Xun gave two dry laughs.

Heh—hehe—

Wasn't the man currently living with Xia Ning himself?

Qin Xun asked.

"What else have you prepared?"

Xia Ning glanced at Qin Xun, placed the bow on the coffee table, and walked into the bedroom.

Qin Xun walked over to the coffee table and reached out to touch the compound bow. He could clearly feel it was made of metal, not the plastic used for toys.

He picked up an arrow and discovered the arrowhead was sharpened.

It glinted coldly.

It could really kill someone!

After a while.

Qin Xun saw Xia Ning dragging out a large red suitcase and laying it on the floor.

Xia Ning smiled very gently, seemingly a bit embarrassed.

She opened the suitcase and took the items out one by one, placing them on the coffee table.

"This is anti-wolf spray."

"This is a stun gun."

"This is a telescopic baton."

"This is a pair of brass knuckles."

"This is a fruit knife."

As she spoke, she picked up a black object that looked like a 'pen' from the suitcase. She pressed it, and a steel needle about ten centimeters long popped out from the bottom.

"This is an anti-wolf artifact!"

"It's very sharp!"

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning, who had a calm and gentle smile on her face, and felt a chill down his spine.

He shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Needles for killing, knives for dismembering, and a suitcase for storing the body—you've got it all ready?"

"Professional! Professional!"

"As expected, those who often kill know that what's in a suitcase is either money or people."

Xia Ning was teased until her face turned bright red.

"I'm just preparing for the worst, but fortunately, you're still considered an upright gentleman."

Qin Xun stood up, turned around, and with his back to Xia Ning, sighed leisurely.

"No."

"Don't trust men too much. I'm still a gentleman right now only because you aren't dressed revealingly enough."

Xia Ning looked down at her nightgown and breathed a sigh of relief. It was something she had carefully selected, and it did indeed cover her up very tightly.

She looked up at Qin Xun's back, feeling a bit nervous.

It seemed there was... danger?
