Chapter 8: The Little Lion Holds a Grudge

Chapter 8: The Little Lion Holds a Grudge

Since the incident in the garage, Gu Qingning hadn't seen Fu Juncheng again.

It wasn't until she was about to leave that he leisurely entered from outside.

He hooked a smile, his seductive voice like a hook, scratching at her heartstrings. "Leaving?"

Gu Qingning nodded. After a day of rest, her complexion had regained its rosy color, but there were still faint bloodshot traces in her eyes.

She straightforwardly said, without any hint of embarrassment about borrowing money, "Can you lend me 200 yuan? I can write an IOU and repay you soon."

Fu Juncheng smiled silently and cleared his throat. "Yun Zheng."

As the words fell, the person guarding the door quickly walked in and respectfully looked at Fu Juncheng. "Sir."

Fu Juncheng lazily glanced at him. "Do you have any money on you?"

Yun Zheng froze and awkwardly replied, "Yes."

Fu Juncheng extended his hand towards him. "Hand it over."

"..."

Yun Zheng reached into his pocket and reluctantly took out two red bills.

He handed over the red bills with both hands. "Sir."

Fu Juncheng took them without any courtesy. "Bring more next time."

Yun Zheng...

The next second, Yun Zheng watched as his money was given to Gu Qingning, and his entire being felt uneasy.

His money.

His heart was bleeding.

Fu Juncheng pressed further, resembling a concerned father. "Is 200 yuan enough?"

Gu Qingning nodded, tucked the money into her pocket, and looked up. The ink-like pupils reflected his handsome face. "I will repay you."

Her tone was serious, as if making a solemn oath.

Fu Juncheng's thin lips lifted slightly, and he casually said, "Let's go. I'm going out, and I'll give you a ride on the way."

With a free ride, Gu Qingning naturally wouldn't waste it.

As they passed by him, she smiled, her eyes flickering mischievously. "Thank you, old man."

Fu Juncheng choked, watching her figure, and let out an indulgent laugh.

The little lion holds a grudge.

He picked up the car keys and followed them outside at a leisurely pace.

Yun Zheng watched their departing figures, emitting an aura of resentment.

Did his 200 yuan just disappear like that?

That was 200 yuan! Ahhh!

...

The estate was far from the city center, at least an hour's drive away.

Not to mention taking a detour.

In the car, Fu Juncheng controlled the steering wheel with one hand, his eyes slightly raised, revealing a lazy demeanor.

Once again, his gaze shifted to the girl beside him, who was dozing off with a sleepy and adorable appearance.

A cool breeze drifted in, waking up the drowsy girl.

Gu Qingning sat up straight, her eyes still blurry from sleep as she looked outside the window.

The road was noisy, with a constant flow of traffic, and an endless view of bustling cityscape.

Gu Qingning narrowed her eyes, her gaze clear. "Stop at the corner ahead, I'll get off there."

As soon as she spoke, the traffic light ahead turned red, and the car stopped.

Fu Juncheng turned to look at her, holding his phone out to her. "Phone number."

Gu Qingning paused for a moment, then realized and said, "I don't have one."

Her phone had long gone missing, and she had no idea where it was.

Meeting her clear eyes, Fu Juncheng knew she wasn't lying and felt defeated. "Then let's go buy a phone first?"

Tracking her whereabouts wouldn't be difficult, but he didn't want to contact her in that way.

Gu Qingning shook her head, her tone determined. "I'll buy one myself."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Fu Juncheng's eyes. Right in front of her, he opened his phone and dialed a series of numbers.

"This is my phone number, remember it?"

Gu Qingning glanced at the number on the screen and nodded.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

An urgent honk sounded from behind—it turned out the traffic light had turned green.

Fu Juncheng started the car and drove off at a moderate speed.

Soon, they arrived at the street corner.

The car pulled over, and Gu Qingning unbuckled her seatbelt, pulling her hat down over her head.

She nodded lightly at Fu Juncheng. "I'm leaving."

After getting out of the car, she raised her hand to lower her cap.

Just as she was about to leave, Fu Juncheng called out, "Wait."

Gu Qingning paused, her gaze questioning as she looked at him.

Fu Juncheng unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned closer to the passenger side window.

Sister Ning returns, mighty and imposing, no explanations for destroying scum, everyone come and watch...
