She remembered, he had said before leaving, let her not cause any trouble.

Today, she surely caused trouble for him...

Quan Shaoqing was indeed angry when he returned. There was supposed to be a lecture, and yet she foolishly disrupted it, following Yeh Bai to profess love to a girl.

Irresponsible!

If professing love was not enough, she even dared to provoke a yard full of military dogs, causing chaos at the Military Dog Base!

Now she had made a name for herself in just one night at the Military Dog Base.

A girl causing such a ruckus with a man! How could he, as her guardian, not be angry?

Gu Xiaoxi was very skilled at gauging how far to push things, knowing she had overstepped a bit with this matter.

First off, she lowered her stance, tried to act cute, and softened up, hoping to bluff her way through.

Quan Shaoqing certainly saw her little tricks. The small figure in his heart scratched at his chest, making it itch, involuntarily softening his expression a bit.

"I heard you were chased by a military dog?" Quan Shaoqing suppressed the odd feelings within him, pretending to be calm, his tone cold as he spoke.

"It was that Flying Tiger, for no reason it led a pack of military dogs after me, and then I ran. It’s not my fault! I swear!" Gu Xiaoxi quickly raised her head from within Quan Shaoqing’s embrace and then stretched out three fingers to promise.

She swore on her conscience! She absolutely did not carry any dangerous items on her.

Gu Xiaoxi felt guilty as she extended her fingers; she had only tied up Flying Tiger!

Gao Yitian was a discerning person, the entire Z department belonged to Quan Shaoqing, his people wouldn’t possibly carry drugs, so there must be some misunderstanding.

He immediately stepped forward and explained, "Superior officer, here’s what we’ll do.

I’ll have the doctor examine the military dogs right away to see if there’s something wrong with them.

This is Miss Gu’s first visit, and if she hasn’t brought any dangerous substances, then there must certainly be some misunderstanding. "

"Even though she is under my charge, being here and chased by military dogs, there must certainly be a problem. Xiao Xi, would you like to explain it yourself, or should I frisk you!" Quan Shaoqing’s tone was icy.

What? He’s going to frisk her?

Gu Xiaoxi’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately looked up at Quan Shaoqing with a guarded gaze and hastily stepped back several paces, her face turning the color of iron, "Quan Shaoqing!"

"Military dogs would not chase someone for no reason. If you haven’t carried drugs, then you must have done something to it!" Quan Shaoqing’s tone was firm.

He could think of such a possibility.

Gao Yitian naturally thought of it too, it’s just that they hadn’t met Gu Xiaoxi before and couldn’t be sure, what she might have done to Flying Tiger?

In everyone’s minds, after all, it was her first time on their turf.

Gu Xiaoxi pouted, her gaze just happened to collide with Quan Shaoqing’s cold eyes, and afterward, her voice was as faint as a mosquito humming, "Last time during the drills, it chased me. Then, I hung it in a tree."

What!

Gao Yitian’s pupils immediately dilated, his eyeballs bulging - for this matter, Huang Xin and Flying Tiger had been enraged for several days.

It turned out she was the culprit!

A tiny girl, not particularly tall, with a dainty figure, had actually managed to hang Flying Tiger in a tree, something even he found unbelievable.

That explained the whole thing.

No wonder, as soon as she arrived, Flying Tiger had bristled.

"Superior officer, this matter is now clear.

It seems I have mistakenly accused Miss Gu, and if she had spoken earlier, there would have been no need to trouble her.

Regarding the previous incident with Flying Tiger, I heard from Huang Xin that it initiated the chase with Miss Gu, then got tied up.

This matter is of no concern to Miss Gu," Gao Yitian said cheerfully.

His fierce-looking face turned as submissive as a kitten in front of Quan Shaoqing.

Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips! That incident had not been her fault in the first place.

Quan Shaoqing’s expression softened a bit after her confession, and he reached a hand toward Gu Xiaoxi, "Come here, let’s go home with me!"

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes rolled around a bit before finally stepping forward and placing her small hand in his palm.

Quan Shaoqing caught her cool little hand and pulled her beside him, then extended his hand to wrap around her shoulder, walking towards the outside of the conference room.

Gao Yitian watched the couple’s clasped hands in shock, quickly covering his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound.

This relationship seems pretty complicated!

Lin Mi stood behind Gao Yitian with a detached expression, and seeing his peculiar look, she warned, "No ogling! Young Master Quan and Xiao Xi are the closest of people. This is classified information; don’t spout nonsense."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Gao Yitian immediately nodded and bowed deferentially.

Even if given a thousand guts, he wouldn’t dare to talk nonsense!

On the helicopter, Quan Shaoqing’s face was gloomy, and he remained silent.

Gu Xiaoxi scratched her head and also closed her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Just then, Gu Xiaoxi’s phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and saw the name Yeh Bai on the display.

Just as she was about to answer, Quan Shaoqing snatched her phone and pressed the speakerphone button to answer the call.

Yeh Bai’s anxious voice came through immediately, "Xiao Xi, I’ve been waiting at the door for you for a long time, why aren’t you coming out. Should I go back and pick you up?"

Gu Xiaoxi was about to speak.

Quan Shaoqing glared.

The words Gu Xiaoxi had on the tip of her tongue were forcefully swallowed back.

Yeh Bai’s rambling voice continued, "Xiao Xi, say something! No matter what, I won’t abandon you. Answer me quickly, how are you right now? Have you been bullied! If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll go all out to save you."

Gu Xiaoxi placed a hand on her forehead, then calmly said, "I’ve already come out. I’m above you. Go back! We’ll contact each other next time!"

Yeh Bai sat in the car and upon hearing Gu Xiaoxi’s words, immediately looked up. Indeed, he saw a helicopter overhead!

He wasn’t a fool; he naturally knew who else was sitting in the helicopter.

After that, he decisively hung up the phone!

Who knows if Quan Shaoqing would come looking for trouble. In fact, he had brought Gu Xiaoxi along for a wild ride.

Yeh Bai shivered quietly, stepped on the gas, and quickly drove away.

Throughout the journey, Quan Shaoqing’s face remained dark, and he was silent.

Gu Xiaoxi, unable to gauge his mood, walked towards the apartment with her head down after getting off the helicopter.

Her phone remained in Quan Shaoqing’s hand.

Now, as he walked, he flipped through her phone.

His expression, however, grew darker and darker!

But what exactly was he looking at?

Lin Mi followed behind, always feeling there were some things in Gu Xiaoxi’s phone that shouldn’t be there.

Not until they entered the house.

Gu Xiaoxi changed her shoes and immediately ran into her room, skittering away from Young Master Quan’s foul mood, feeling uncertain in her heart.

Considering he had just recovered from being ill, she decided not to talk back to him; better to hide and avoid his sharp edge.

After showering in the bathroom, Gu Xiaoxi came out to find Quan Shaoqing not in the living room.

She tiptoed over to the sofa and picked up her phone.

Curious, she wondered what exactly Quan Shaoqing had been looking through on it just now!

So, she went through the messages and instantly felt thunderstruck.

The very first message was from Yi Chentian.

[Xiao Xi, do you have time? Let’s meet again!]
