88: Chapter 88 Beautiful lady, please put down that weapon... uh? What is that?!

Outside the office building.

Leaves rustled, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Qin Xun circled the office building, shook off Xia Ning, and walked back in, ready to pack his things for his rain-or-shine field work.

That's just how dedicated he was!

Thinking back to that terrifying scene just now, Qin Xun couldn't help but feel that Xia Ning...

Was crazy!

Truly crazy!

It was even more intense than the plot of a Japanese movie!

This... this really was a twisted kind of love!

Qin Xun walked into the office building, and before he had taken many steps, he suddenly felt something poking him in the waist.

Xia Ning's cold voice rang out behind him.

"We thought of the same thing. The most dangerous place is the safest place."

Qin Xun turned his head to look at Xia Ning.

His gaze shifted downward, and he saw the stun gun in her hand.

He sighed.

"Kill me or butcher me, whatever you want, but please... don't insult me like this, okay?"

At this moment.

The security guard in the lobby saw a woman brandishing a stick and threatening someone. He approached timidly, feeling cowardly inside, but putting on a tough front.

"Hey!"

"What are you doing?"

"Please put down the weapon in your hand! Don't hurt anyone here..."

Suddenly.

The security guard saw the small stun gun in Xia Ning's hand, and then noticed how exceptionally beautiful she was. His expression became quite complex.

He waved his hand impatiently.

"If you want to play around, go home. This is a workplace; don't be indecent here!"

Xia Ning was completely confused.

This was clearly a crime scene; how did this security guard conclude that they were... flirting?

Seeing the bewildered look on Xia Ning's face, Qin Xun thought of a possibility and found it funny. He pointed at the stun gun pressed against his waist.

"What are you trying to do with this?"

Xia Ning narrowed her eyes and said coldly.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson, you loose-lipped person."

Qin Xun smiled and said.

"Yellow?"

Xia Ning didn't understand.

"Huh?"

Qin Xun reached out and pressed the button on the stun gun, which emitted a slight buzzing sound, and his body trembled slightly in response.

"You bought this on Meiyuan, didn't you?"

"You really need to look carefully next time. This one is a kinky stun gun used between couples."

Xia Ning froze, looking down at the small, non-threatening, and actually rather cute stun gun.

Her fair face turned as red as an apple in a second.

Xia Ning felt dazed. Thinking about how she had been carrying this thing while chasing him from upstairs to downstairs, and not knowing how many people had seen it, she felt the world spinning.

The security guard's impatient voice rang in her ears again.

"Miss, put that away!"

"Who shows off their affection like this?"

"I can't bear to look, I really can't!"

"It's indecent, truly indecent!"

Suddenly!

Xia Ning came to her senses, threw the stun gun out the door, and it rolled into the rain.

She turned her head to look at the smiling Qin Xun.

"You're still laughing?"

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out to grab Qin Xun's hair.

"My hair!"

Qin Xun took a stylish step back.

"I knew a Taekwondo champion like you would try to pull my hair!"

"That's not playing fair!"

He turned and ran. Xia Ning immediately gave chase.

Qin Xun ran into the rain, listening to the footsteps behind him, and shouted urgently.

"Be careful, you'll miscarry!"

Xia Ning followed him into the rain, her face flushed with shame, which even the rain couldn't cool down.

"I'll mis... mis... mis... your mom!"

He ran, she chased. Qin Xun looked back and saw that Xia Ning was soaked by the rain, her clothes clinging to her figure. Her running posture was a bit strange; it was clear that the heel of her high heels had broken.

He sighed, stopped, and tilted his head back to let the rain wash over his face.

"What a disaster!"

Soon!

Xia Ning caught up, reached out, and grabbed a handful of Qin Xun's wet hair.

Qin Xun's face twitched as he stared at Xia Ning.

"That's going too far!"

Rain fell on both of them.

Pitter-patter.

Xia Ning stared into Qin Xun's eyes, her chest heaving, whether from anger or exhaustion, she didn't know.

She tightened her grip.

Qin Xun cried out in pain.

"You..."

Before he could finish, he heard Xia Ning say coldly.

"Who told you to go around spreading rumors that I'm pregnant?"

Qin Xun was stunned.

"Huh?"

Xia Ning: "I'm not pregnant."

Qin Xun's gaze slowly shifted down from Xia Ning's face, landing on her lower abdomen.

The rain had soaked her clothes, making them cling tightly to her skin, clearly revealing her slender waist and flat stomach.

Xia Ning explained coldly.

"My stomach hurts because of chronic gastroenteritis."

Qin Xun: "???"

He was stunned for a moment.

The wind blew across his face, and the sound of the rain gradually became clearer.

Suddenly, he chuckled.

"You're not pregnant!"

Xia Ning held onto his hair, not letting go.

Qin Xun laughed again.

"That's great!"

Xia Ning: "???"

Seeing Qin Xun looking a bit too happy, she felt a bit nervous and hurriedly turned her head to look at a small tree swaying in the rain by the roadside, letting go of Qin Xun's hair.

But she heard Qin Xun laugh.

"I thought you were coming to scam my company's maternity benefits!"

Xia Ning: "..."

She turned her head and silently watched Qin Xun wiping the rain from his face.

Suddenly, she also smiled, a very faint smile, but a beautiful one.

...

Under the eaves.

Qin Xun and Xia Ning were taking shelter from the rain.

The office building was right across the street, and the company was inside, just a hundred meters away, but neither of them suggested going back.

Perhaps it was because they were soaked and afraid of colleagues seeing their embarrassing state.

Perhaps the wind and rain were too heavy, making the hundred meters difficult to walk.

Or perhaps it was something else.

The sound of rain was pitter-patter.

The two of them stood under the eaves, quietly watching the rain outside, neither of them speaking.

However, they both felt relaxed.

After a while.

Xia Ning quietly took out her phone and sent a message to Cheng Wan.

[Cheng Wan, go find the building management and delete the video of me chasing Qin Xun just now.]

[All angles, as long as I appear in them, pay to have them all deleted.]

Soon, Cheng Wan replied.

[President Xia, why?]

Xia Ning blushed.

[Don't ask!]

Suddenly.

She heard Qin Xun laugh twice. Xia Ning naturally put away her phone, her expression indifferent, and turned to look at Qin Xun.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qin Xun shook his head.

"How could you not recognize that thing?"

Xia Ning thought about how she had been holding that thing, feeling quite imposing at the time. Her face began to burn again. She pursed her lips and snorted coldly.

"How would I know what that kind of thing is?"

As she spoke, she emphasized her tone and asked back.

"I should be the one asking you. How did you recognize that kind of thing at a glance?"

She stared at Qin Xun, narrowing her eyes slightly, looking suspicious.

Qin Xun puffed out his chest proudly.

"I have seen countless films."

Xia Ning: "..."

Heh—he's so proud!

The two had nothing to say and fell into a long silence again.

But it wasn't awkward.

After a while.

Qin Xun leaned against the wall and turned to look at Xia Ning.

He found her quietly watching the heavy rain outside the eaves, her posture upright yet soft, and the coldness in her eyes from the past was gone, replaced by a touch of softness.

The rain made her clothes cling to her body, outlining her graceful figure.

Xia Ning didn't even turn her head, still looking at the rain outside the eaves, her voice cold.

"Have you seen enough?"
