Daddy Always Gets Jealous

”Qin, cousin, I’m really sorry, but I need to run, you keep it up!”

As her words fell, she turned and ran towards the direction of the private room, wondering if she should dial 110 to report to the police.

Thinking of how excessive Qin Shaojin had been, she decided to wait. It wouldn’t be too late to call after he got hurt a bit.

But Qin Shaojin had never expected that at this moment, she would actually leave him behind and run away!

He was momentarily distracted by the sound that seemed to revel in his misfortune, and a punch landed on his handsome face.

He touched his nose bridge and then lashed out with a kick to the man’s face, each move fiercer than before.

The opponents didn’t want to prolong the fight, their attention not on Qin Shaojin. They left a few men to tangle with him, while others had already made their way towards the private room.

At the entrance, guns were suddenly drawn.

Wen Nuan had just entered the room and sat down for a few minutes. She wanted to go to the door to check on Qin Shaojin, to see if it was time to call the police. Just as she stood up, Huo Jinnan’s voice resoundingly commanded, ”Sit there, don’t move.”

No sooner had he spoken when the door to the private room was kicked open.

A group had just entered, looking for their targets. Huo Jinnan held guns in both hands, his eyes slightly squinted. In a moment, shot after shot rang out—five in quick succession, hitting the assailants’ wrists with precision.

Following several cries of pain, the guns clattered—one by one—onto the floor.

Yu Zimu and Shen You, having received a call from Huo Jinnan, had already arrived at the door to the private room. They quickly subdued the five unarmed men.

Wen Nuan sat there, stunned!

There were actually guns!

When she came to her senses, she looked at Huo Jinnan with admiring eyes, ”Brother-in-law, you were so cool just now!”

Suddenly remembering Qin Shaojin, she just wanted him to get beat up a little, hopefully... he wouldn’t be in trouble, right?

Wen Nuan pointed towards the door and asked hesitantly, ”Shall... shall we go check on Qin the ace?”

Yu Zimu stroked his chin, ”Qin the ace?”

Wen Nuan asked matter-of-factly, ”Isn’t he the ace lawyer?”

”...”

Yu Zimu and Shen You stared at Wen Nuan for a long while.

”Nuannuan, that’s clever.”

”Not bad, good name.”

Wen Nuan pointed to the door again, ”Aren’t you going to check on him?”

”Don’t worry, he won’t die.”

The very moment Yu Zimu’s words fell, someone’s butt was kicked. Turning around, they saw Qin Shaojin standing behind them with a dark expression on his face.

”Qin the ace, are you alright?”

”...”

Qin Shaojin looked at Yu Zimu with a mocking smile.

Yu Zimu mimicked Wen Nuan’s tone and mannerisms, ”Aren’t you the ace lawyer?”

Qin Shaojin didn’t respond, but turned his gaze towards Wen Nuan.

”It wasn’t... it wasn’t me who said it—”

Wen Nuan pointed at Yu Zimu, ”He... it was him who said it!”

Qin Shaojin’s gaze turned gloomy as he looked at Wen Nuan, ”Eat your barbecue!”

”Oh!”

Wen Nuan, remembering that she had left him and run away, wondered... would he hold a grudge?

Picking up two pieces of pork kidney, she glanced at them, thought of them as urine filters, and couldn’t bring herself to eat. With more than twenty days still left, what could she do?

After a pause, she raised her head to look in Qin Shaojin’s direction, ”Qin ace... I mean, lawyer, I want to ask, can we change the dish to something else?”

She tried to muster a smile, which ended up looking worse than a cry.

”What do you think?”

Qin Shaojin glanced at the footprint on his suit, took it off, and threw it in a nearby trash bin. He was left in a white shirt with three buttons undone at the collar, revealing a stretch of pale skin.
