“The chip should only be a part of it, the rest of the information must be in the hands of the others from Iverson.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Quan Yimo and others slightly changed.
“Hungry?” Quan Jingwu rubbed her head, asking.
Jian Qing hummed in response, her eyes shining brilliantly at him, “Cook for me.”
“Alright.” He indulged her and agreed.
“I’ll go to the kitchen with you.” She got up and grabbed his hand.
Everyone watched as the pair headed toward the kitchen, both the couples’ teams looked stunned.
Jingwu cooking?
Isn’t this a joke?
The kitchen won’t blow up, will it?
Seeing everyone else’s concern, Bai Jue kindly reminded, “Don’t worry, the kitchen won’t explode. You all will still see tomorrow’s sun.”
Everyone laughed awkwardly.
In the kitchen, Jian Qing stood by, watching the man washing the vegetables, a smile lighting up her eyes.
“Xiaojing, shall I make chocolates for you again when I get back?”
Quan Jingwu couldn’t help but recall the devilishly bad chocolate she made him last time. His thin lips quivered.
“My dear, if you want to eat it, I’ll buy it for you.”
As for her making it… it was a thought better left untouched.
“You disdain me.” She held back a laugh, putting on a stern face.
Obviously, he was scared her “chocolate” might poison his tea. Huh, he really lacked an eye for appreciation.
He flashed a wicked smile, denying it, “Do I?”
“I won’t make them for you anymore, from now on I will make them for other people.”
“Whoever dares to accept, I will slaughter them.” He threatened while holding a knife in his hand, making Jian Qing laugh.
“What if it’s your son?” She jokingly asked.
“My son definitely wouldn’t accept.” He stated with certainty.
“…”
Your girlfriend has been disconnected and does not want to talk to you.
“Need any help?”
Zhan Mingyan walked in and asked in a gentle voice.
Jian Qing glanced up at her, affording a distant smile, “Thank you for your kindness, no need.”
“Jian Qing, can I call you that?” She asked with a smile.
Jian Qing raised an eyebrow, “Of course.”
“Jian Qing, can I have a chat with you?”
Just as she finished, her gaze met his deep purple eyes. The chilling aura in his eyes sent shivers down her spine. Despite the nervousness, she clenched her fists and waited for Jian Qing’s response.
“Sure.” Jian Qing tugged at Quan Jingwu’s sleeve, “You wait for me here, I’ll be back soon. Don’t forget to cook meat.”
“Alright.” He leaned down for a light peck on the corner of her lips and let her go.
The sight of their affection made Zhan Mingyan feel quite bitter.
“Let’s go.”
Jian Qing proceeded, with Zhan Mingyan trailing behind with her head lowered.
There was a small garden attached to the inn. As the weather gradually cooled, most of the flowers in the garden had withered.
“Jian Qing, can I ask you something?” Zhan Mingyan took the initiative.
Jian Qing turned around and smiled faintly, “If I say ‘no’, would you not ask?”
Zhan Mignan fell silent, and then asked, “How did you two meet?”
She had been in the troops for many years and hardly got any news from Beijing. It wasn’t until she returned to Beijing recently that she heard about all the events that had happened over the past half year. She couldn’t understand how Quan Jingwu had actually fallen for someone in such a short period. To her, it was an unbelievable story.
“You mean me and Xiaojing?” Jian Qing asked.
Zhan Mingyan nodded.
“Is that really important?” She asked.
“Of course it’s important.” Zhan Mingyan said urgently.
“You like Xiaojing?” Jian Qing straight away tapped into her real thoughts.
Otherwise, why would she show hostility on their first meeting?
It looked like Zhan Mingyan hadn’t expected her to express it aloud. She was taken aback.
After a while, a glimmer of determination flashed on her face. She looked up at Jian Qing and admitted, “Yes, I’ve liked him for a long time. Jian Qing, I want to compete with you fairly!”
She didn’t beat around the bush and declared her intention.
Jian Qing stared at her for a few seconds, the smile on her lips deepening, “Looks like you are more open and upright than Song Xirou and Chu Ruohan.”
At least, she wasn’t pretentious or annoying.
“Song Xirou?” Zhan Mingyan was startled, followed by a flash of disgust.
Upon seeing Zhan Mingyan’s undisguised disgust towards Song Xirou, Jian Qing responded with a bitter smile, “What, have you had a run-in with her?”
“Who would want to deal with that affected woman? Just gross!” Zhan Mingyan complained with an expression of disgust.
Although she also didn’t like Chu Ruohan, she disliked Song Xirou even more. That woman was simply too calculating, a typical manipulative bitch.
Wait a minute, how did they end up discussing this?
“Jian Qing, did you hear what I just said? I want to compete with you fairly.” She reiterated.
Jian Qing nodded, signaling that she heard, “Fair competition?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course.”
Seeing the confidence in her eyes, Jian Qing smiled softly, “Then I’m afraid I can’t accept that.”
“Why?” Zhan Mingyan was anxious. “Do you look down on me?”
Jian Qing shook her head, “It’s not that I look down on you. I can’t accept your proposal because Quan Jingwu is mine. For this reason alone, there can be no ‘fair competition’.”
Zhan Mingyan looked at her with complex eyes, and found herself unable to refute, simply because she had seen the tenderness that Quan Jingwu had shown to Jian Qing.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the necklace on Jian Qing’s neck. It seemed familiar.
Suddenly, a flash of realization hit her. She had seen him wearing it before. He had given his necklace to Jian Qing!
“Any more questions?” Jian Qing’s expression was indifferent. “If not, I’ll go in first.”
“Jian Qing, I won’t admit defeat!” She plucked up her courage and declared.
Jian Qing gave a radiant smile, “I hope you’re not like Song Xirou.”
Having said that, she turned around and went back into the inn.
Zhan Mingyan stared at her retreating figure with a blank expression, her last words echoing in her mind.
What did she mean by that?
As she returned to the kitchen, Quan Jingwu had already prepared the noodles for her. The enticing aroma could be smelled from a distance away from the kitchen.
“It smells so good.”
Jian Qing picked up the chopsticks, her eyes curving up in anticipation.
“What were you talking about outside?” He asked.
“Afraid I bullied someone?” Jian Qing intentionally misconstrued his question, and coldly retorted.
The color in Quan Jingwu’s eyes darkened, he reached out and pinched her nose, “If you continue like this, I’ll have to punish you right here.”
“Stingy.”
Jian Qing pouted and lowered her head to eat the noodles.

In a dimly lit secret room, the flickering lamp light made the atmosphere even more eerie.
“Iverson, when are we going to rescue Jikin?” Matt paced back and forth a little anxiously, his gaze fixated on the man sitting on the sofa.
The man referred to as “Iverson” was clothed entirely in black, a long scar on his face making him appear even more grim.
