"Stop!" Xiao Manâs tone was not the same as before, a suppressed urgency tried to keep her voice down, "Luo Xuan, if you dare to touch her, Iâll make you regret coming into this world!"
"Oh? Really?" Luo Xuan was instead more interested, "I just mentioned it casually at first, I didnât really want to kill her. But it looks like this little girl is quite important to our Heather? Now I truly want to see what you would do if I killed her."
"Luo Xuan!" Xiao Man called out to him, "Where are you, Iâll come to you right away."
He curled his lips into a smile: "Thatâs better."
"Sister Man!" Qianxun walked over in a jog, concerned, "Are you alright?"
By then, Xiao Man had already hung up the phone.
"Ah, why is my Little Cute here," Xiao Man, who was already taller than Qianxun, now stood on the steps in high heels towering over her even more, raised her hand to touch her head, smiling beautifully, "Why so anxious?"
She let out a sigh of relief.
Luo Xuan was simply a madman, he didnât care about anyoneâs life.
He probably would never really kill her, but to him, Qianxun was just a disposable person. Whether she lived or died meant nothing to him.
This girl had no idea what danger she had just faced.
"How could I not be worried? I called your phone but got no answer, and you werenât at your house when I went looking."
"You went to my house? Everythingâs okay?"
"Yeah..." Qianxun looked around to make sure no one was nearby before nodding and whispering, "There are a lot of Mr. Liâs people around, arenât there? I know that, so we didnât break in."
"Thatâs good."
"Sister Man, why did you still come here? They didnât do anything to you, did they?"
The so-called fear of public opinion.
"Itâs fine, letâs go."
Xiao Man looped her arm around Qianxun, her gaze unintentionally sweeping towards the building ahead.
Xiao Man got into their car.
"Sister Man," Qianxun said to her, "donât go out these days. Just stay at home until the heat dies down, then weâll think of a way."
Qianxun had never brought up the matter of apologizing to the public with her.
She always felt that Xiao Man was too proud. Asking her to apologize was like slapping her own face, wasnât it?
"Understood. So donât come to see me for the next few days, itâs not good to be associated with me."
Qianxun laughed it off casually, "Itâs okay! I was cursed to hell and back two months ago anyway, a few more insults wonât hurt."
"Who dares to curse you now," Xiao Man talked to her like she would to a child, ruffling her head, "Iâm fine too. If anything happens, I will discuss it with Mr. Gu from your family. As for you, stop worrying about my business."
This might be a good opportunity to reduce contact with Qianxun.
Otherwise, she was afraid Qianxun would be in danger.
After the incident, Qianxun never asked if those two things were true. Xiao Man thought she was always afraid of hurting her.
So Xiao Man herself said to her: "However, my problems probably wonât go away easily because they are true."
There were only three people in the car: Xiao Man, Qianxun, and Su Qing.
Qianxun hadnât shown much of a reaction, but Su Qing was shocked; he had thought... it was a computer composite.
After all, this kind of thing wasnât unprecedented.
"But all that is in the past! People canât possibly go through life without making mistakes, you did wrong, but youâve also corrected it. Besides, you didnât harm others, you hurt only yourself; why canât people forgive you?"
