Qi Zhenbai kneaded his brows, looking somewhat exhausted.
“Boss, the ticket is scheduled for this afternoon? Is it too early?” Assistant Xu Xudong worriedly looked at Qi Zhenbai’s weary face.
“No, just set…” Qi Zhenbai, who casually glanced out the car window, suddenly saw a pretty, familiar figure standing at the bus stop, and his words came to a sudden halt.
“Pull over!” Qi Zhenbai shouted blankly, his obscure, slender eyes dark and gloomy.
In the car, the bodyguards and Assistant Xu Xudong were disconcerted, but the car was still parked in response.
“Boss, what’s wrong?” Xu Xudong looked in bewilderment at his boss who was acting strangely.
“Wait in the car.” Qi Zhenbai opened the door and stepped out of the car with his long, lean legs, and headed back towards the stop sign they’d just passed.
A lot of people were waiting at the stop sign and when they saw Qi Zhenbai, who was tall and upright, and dressed in a trim, costly suit, both men and women gazed at him in curiosity and awe. Qi Zhenbai ignored these gazes and walked to Chi Shuyan, who was standing on her tiptoes looking in the distance for her bus.
Feeling a sharp gaze, Chi Shuyan reflexively looked over her shoulder and saw a man with clustered, round loads of purple qi, and her eyes flashed with surprise.
“Going home?” Qi Zhenbai’s voice was cold and deep, like spring water under a pine tree.
Chi Shuyan nodded even though she was baffled. She noticed immediately that Qi Zhenbai’s car was parked a short distance behind him.
“Since it’s on the way, get in the car and I’ll send you back.” No emotion could be seen on Qi Zhenbai’s face as he spoke naturally.
“Huh? No, thanks. The bus is coming soon.” Why is he so cordial? Chi Shuyan was dazed.
“I’ll agree to your last request.” Qi Zhenbai knitted his eyebrows, looking somewhat fidgety.
“Huh?” Chi Shuyan failed to grasp his meaning for a moment. “What request?”
Qi Zhenbai tsked. Although his angular face remained impassive, his slender eyes that were as cold as ice blades, instantly stared at Chi Shuyan with a sense of reproach.
Chi Shuyan immediately recalled her request to calculate Qi Zhenbai’s fortune in the restaurant last time. She comprehended at once and smiled, teasing snappily, “You cherish your words like gold too much. How was I supposed to understand when you suddenly say something like this?”
Qi Zhenbai was startled at the sight of Chi Shuyan’s smile with her brows bent and feline eyes curved into crescent moons. Of course, she was normally very beautiful, especially when she suddenly smiled, but now she looked even more beautiful and lovely, with a voice so sweet, so melodious, and so delicate.
Qi Zhenbai regained his senses, ignoring his inexplicably fast heartbeat, and knitted his brows a bit. This young girl was really insatiable and shameless, seizing the opportunity to seduce him again in public.

Qi Zhenbai’s frown deepened when he noticed that others’ eyes were frequently directed at Chi Shuyan. He turned sideways to block her, taking a step closer, until he tightly covered Chi Shuyan, who was petite and dainty.
Only then did Qi Zhenbai notice the huge difference in their bodies.
Chi Shuyan was so taken aback by Qi Zhenbai’s further intrusion that she took a small step backwards. Frankly, they were too close.
“Aren’t you going to calculate?” Qi Zhenbai raised a thick eyebrow.
“Calculate? Of course, I will.” Chi Shuyan could barely maintain her composure. Honestly, she wasn’t that curious, but Qi Zhenbai’s incalculable and empty divinatory symbols were one of the few that sparked her interest. She had been wondering how to calculate his fortune again, but didn’t expect that the opportunity would come so soon.
“Get in the car!” Qi Zhenbai was finally satisfied and glanced at Chi Shuyan, his tone irrefutable.
The two got in the car.
Chi Shuyan sat firmly before asking, “What is your birthdate?” Since the last character calculation didn’t work, she took a different approach this time.
After she asked, silence reigned in the car. She tilted her head somewhat suspiciously, “Can’t I ask?”
Xu Xudong, who was in the front passenger seat, was surprised when he saw Boss bringing over a girl. Boss was aloof and indifferent, and distant to women’s charms, even to those heiresses from many big families who frequently ate in rows at Boss’s place. He had never imagined that in just a few days, his boss could get acquainted with such a girl.
In particular, Xu Xudong’s face twisted when he heard Chi Shuyan’s question. What was wrong with this girl’s questioning? She had stepped on Boss’s minefield. As far as he knew, Boss’s birthdate characters were very special and extremely confidential. Anyway, he’d seen a few people who didn’t know any better and had asked about it, then they never appeared in front of Boss again.
However, he was struck when Qi Zhenbai not only didn’t glare as coldly as he used to, but also seemingly placated with a hmm.
“It’s inconvenient?” Chi Shuyan was dazed and speechless. She definitely couldn’t foretell a character and now couldn’t calculate his birth characters as well. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. There was actually another way to calculate more accurately.
Chi Shuyan glanced at the man beside her, who was dressed in an impeccable suit, out of the corner of her eye, and thought to herself: Perhaps this divination won’t work again. But she was reluctant to give up. As they turned a sharp bend, the car jolted, so she seized the opportunity and leaned over, grabbing Qi Zhenbai’s wrist.
However, Qi Zhenbai, who had always been vigilant, flinched away from Chi Shuyan’s little, pervert hand without batting an eyelid.
Chi Shuyan was stunned and felt a bit guilty. She didn’t even grab him. This man was too vigilant. Could it be that he was guarding himself against her, a female rogue?
Chi Shuyan gritted her teeth. As they stopped abruptly at a traffic light, she squeezed to the left this time along with the force of inertia. With a clear goal, she was bound to grab Qi Zhenbai’s arm or hand. Unfortunately, there were too many variables in the world.
Her quickly outstretched hand was supposed to grab Qi Zhenbai’s arm. However, seeing that she had been quiet for a while, Qi Zhenbai adjusted his posture and turned sideways. Thus, her outstretched arm directly pressed against his chest.
Chi Shuyan only felt an inexplicable suction and her body plunged right into Qi Zhenbai’s chest. She was instantly stupefied. By heaven and hell, she really wasn’t trying to take advantage of him.
Xu Xudong and the bodyguards in the front row witnessed this scene through the rearview mirror and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. This little girl might have been very young, but she had real guts!
Qi Zhenbai was also stunned. Feeling the soft fragrance of the body in his arms, he was momentarily lost for words. When he came back to his senses, he moved to push her away with both hands.
Chi Shuyan sensed that Qi Zhenbai would push her, so without restraint, she brazenly clung to stay. She hurriedly calmed her heart down, emptied her mind, and performed a quick calculation.
In a split second, countless images flashed through her mind. These many and diverse images flickered too fast for her to see, but she didn’t panic. She focused her thoughts and sure enough, the pictures flowed much slower, like a movie playing.
She was looking at a European-style, king-sized bed with a man and a woman wearing only bath towels next to the bed. The tall, upright man was holding the petite girl and kissing her fiercely, as if trying to smush her. The images shifted sharply, and the tall man kissed and pressed the girl onto the bed.
Chi Shuyan was stupefied, having never ever expected to see such an intimate scene. But she had already seen it all to this extent. She felt embarrassed and her cheeks flushed all the while trying desperately to get a better look at the girl’s face.
But the man’s tall body enveloped her tightly, especially his arched back muscles, which were taut like a leopard about to sprint for the kill. He kissed the girl underneath him ravenously, as if to tear her apart and swallow her into his belly.
Chi Shuyan’s fair face was suffused with embarrassment. She wasn’t a pervert and had no interest in breaching people’s privacy. Well, a little bit. But the problem was that she couldn’t control and fast-forward these images, so she could only watch passively.
“Have you hugged enough?” The clear and deep male voice sounded with an imperceptible hint of either happiness or anger.
Chi Shuyan was intimidated and quickly backed away. Probably because she felt too guilty, she was unable to keep her balance and knocked her head on the glass.
Qi Zhenbai reached out to tug on her arm and asked, “Are you okay?”
The moment he made contact, the images in Chi Shuyan’s mind started again. This time, the images were even more explosive than before, such that she felt like she was being blinded.
“You…” Chi Shuyan was about to yank her hand off, when she suddenly saw herself coming out of the bathroom in some kind of cat-ear, cosplay outfit and obediently kneeling under a man’s suit pants and calling out, Daddy.
Chi Shuyan: How bad is my life going to be in the future? How could I actually be so indecent?
