Chapter 1104 Desire for Protection

Zhu Xingjing stared straight at Qiao Zhiqin, and his serious gaze seemed to take a close look at Qiao Zhiqin's seemingly cold, yet somewhat sweet little face.

As if he was obsessed with watching, Zhu Xingjing almost forgot that his hand was still holding Qiao Zhiqin's hand.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, Qiao Zhiqin lowered her head and withdrew her hand, as if she didn't dare to look at Zhu Xingjing.

Seeing her discomfort, Jian Ximan stretched out her hand to pull the person to her side, and stepped hard on Zhu Kunjing's feet, not forgetting to crush her a few times.

"Hiss...ah..."

The pain immediately brought Zhu Xingjing back to his senses, his body curled up slightly, and he looked at Jian Ximan inexplicably.

Jian Ximan gave him a cold look and led Qiao Zhiqin to sit down on the chair.

"Don't pay attention to him. He is just a playboy. His eyes will go straight when he sees a beautiful woman."

"Yes, little sister, you should stay away from this kind of playboy in the future. He likes to harm pretty little girls the most."

Ning Yu'an also came over, not saving any face for Zhu Xingjing in front of strangers.

Qiao Zhiqin smiled slightly and shook her head.

"I wish you good luck."

As if she didn't expect that she would be deceived by Zhu Xingjing so easily, Ning Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Sister, you are too easy to deceive. Don't think he looks like a human being, but he is actually very carefree. Don't be deceived by his skin."

Qiao Zhiqin quickly shook her head and explained softly:

"You have misunderstood. I mean that Mr. Zhu is not interested in me. It can be seen that Mr. Zhu likes Miss Jian."

From the time he came in until now, Zhu Xingjing's eyes have never left Jian Xman's body.

Anyone can see who Zhu Canjing is happy with.

"Whether Zhu Shaohua is bothered or not, she will definitely not look at other women in front of the person she likes. She must have other reasons."

The only reason she could think of was that they already knew about her relationship with Yan Chenyu.

This thought made Qiao Zhiqin feel more and more uneasy, and her hands on her lap were tightly clasped together.

When they maintained such a relationship, Yan Chenyu did not allow her to reveal even a word to the outside world.

So no one knew that Yan Chenyu was keeping a woman, including his friends.

If Zhu Xingjing really knew about her relationship with Yan Chenyu, would Yan Chenyu mistakenly think that she had told it on purpose?

Qiao Zhiqin lowered her head and fell into her own emotions.

Ning Yu'an beside her didn't notice her uneasiness, walked around her, looked at Jian Xman beside her, smiled and teased:

"Sister Manman, it seems that the public's eyes are sharp."

Even a stranger can tell that Zhu Xingjing likes Jian Ximan.

It is conceivable that this playboy is indeed serious.

Jian Ximan flipped her long hair, supported her chin with one hand, and smiled charmingly, but with a hint of danger inexplicably.

"I think your skin is itchy and you want to be beaten."

"Tsk tsk... I'm so angry."

Jian Ximan grabbed the napkin on the table and threw it towards Ning Yuan.

Ning Yu'an moved faster, turned slightly, and dodged, not forgetting to smile at Jian Xman.

After retracting her gaze, Jian Ximan noticed Qiao Zhiqin, who was obviously very uneasy, and reached out to hold her hand. The cold temperature made Jian Ximan frown slightly.

"Why are you so nervous? Did we scare you?"

Qiao Zhiqin covered up all her emotions and raised her head, forcing a smile.

"No, I...it's just...it's my first time to have dinner with so many important people and I'm a little nervous."

Jian Ximan looked at the woman in front of her who was obviously a little embarrassed, with a hint of movement in her eyes.

When I first saw her, I thought she was an iceberg beauty, but I didn't expect that her soft-spoken voice could easily arouse a desire to protect her.

Jian Ximan poured a cup of hot tea for Qiao Zhiqin and put it in her hand.

"I heard from Xixi that tonight is a special celebration for you and Yan Xi. If Yan Xi doesn't come, wouldn't you be the protagonist? What's there to be nervous about? Big shots are also human beings. They can't eat you, so relax."

"Yes, young lady, your backer is my sister. With my sister protecting you, even big shots like them can't do anything to you."

Seeing Ning Yuan's proud expression, Qiao Zhiqin's eyes showed a hint of envy.

"It can be seen that Miss Ning Er and Mr. Ning have a deep relationship."

Ning Yuan put an arm around her shoulders and smiled sincerely.

"At this time, there is no need to call Miss Ning Er Miss Ning Er. You can call me An'an. In the future, you can come to me to play at any time in Yuncheng. When you come to Kyoto, you can come to see Sister Manman. You can come and go.

A few friends.”

Her sister asked her to take care of Qiao Zhiqin more tonight. At first, she thought it was some kind of hard work.

But I didn’t expect that she was a soft girl and she liked it!

While going to the bathroom, Ning Yuxi saw that Qiao Zhiqin was no longer as restrained as before. Not only was she chatting and laughing with Ning Yu, An Jianxi, but there was also a lot more smiles on her face, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

After a while, he walked to Lu Yuting and sat down.

Then an arm was placed around his waist, and the man leaned over.

"Have you not always protected this little artist in your company? Why would you let her attend such an occasion?"

He still remembers the time when his little woman went head-to-head with Yan Chenyu for Qiao Zhiqin.

That protective look made him a little bit disgusted.

Ning Yuxi glanced at Qiao Zhiqin and gave a meaningful smile.

"The award ceremony that day can be regarded as Yan Chenyu doing me a favor, so I treated it as a surprise for him."

Lu Yuting chuckled, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

"This is the only reason to deceive Chen Yu."

Ning Yuxi raised her eyebrows and looked at the man beside her with a smile.

"Then what does Mr. Lu think my real purpose is?"

Lu Yuting simply loved her cunning look and couldn't help but be infected by her. The corners of his lips curved slightly.

"Let her get to know more people and find a few people to protect her."

This kind of situation is out of place for Qiao Zhiqin.

Leaving aside whether her identity can fit into this circle, there are not many people present who are familiar to her, and coming here will only make Qiao Zhiqin even more confused.

She knew that Qiao Zhiqin would be embarrassed when she came, but she still let her come, which proved that she didn't just let Qiao Zhiqin come to dinner.

The so-called celebration or thanks to Yan Chenyu are just excuses.

The only purpose is to let Qiao Zhiqin know more people.

Ning Yuxi's eyes flashed, and then she smiled helplessly.

"Why can't I hide anything from you?"

This was indeed the purpose of why she asked Qiao Zhiqin to come here today.

Ever since she signed Qiao Zhiqin, she had never seen her make any friends.

Except for Della's occasional care for her, there was no other familiar person in Cloud City.

Having no father, no mother, and no friends, I feel a little lonely.

That girl An An has a lively temperament. After getting to know each other, maybe Qiao Zhiqin won't be so lonely in Yuncheng.
