Ji Xiaonuan was extremely speechless.
She really hadn't expected that Zhao Hengliang would actually go and call for help.
"Wow, this little girl is quite good-looking!" The gaze of that Brother Li fell on Ji Xiaonuan, and a lecherous smile flashed in his eyes.
Ji Xiaonuan's expression suddenly turned cold.
The people around had already fled far away. It seemed that someone was secretly calling the police.
Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly.
Seeing that Ji Xiaonuan was secretly moving her fingers, looking ready to fight, Chi Jun'an gently squeezed her hand and shielded her behind him.
"What do you want?" Chi Jun'an asked indifferently.
"Are you scared now?" Zhao Hengliang said arrogantly. "It's not impossible for me to let you go! Kneel down and apologize to me right now! And let Ji Xiaonuan have some fun with us guys. Don't worry. Although there are many of us, we won't break her. She'll still be yours after that!"
The few little thugs behind him laughed maliciously.
Chi Jun'an's eyes and eyebrows became even more indifferent. He asked calmly, "Do you really have to do this?"
"Of course!" Zhao Hengliang clicked his tongue triumphantly. "Ji Xiaonuan, what's the use of a pretty boy like this? Isn't he just going to sell you out to save himself?" Chi Jun'an's eyes suddenly turned cold. He said indifferently, "It seems there's no other choice."
Suddenly, several bodyguards appeared and immediately engaged in a fight with those thugs.
Those thugs were used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They were no match for these bodyguards and were soon beaten and fled in all directions.
The situation changed so quickly that Zhao Hengliang was stunned. He looked around furtively and then scurried into the crowd in a panic.
Ji Xiaonuan had already noticed him. She quickly approached him and kicked him in the leg.
Zhao Hengliang was caught off guard and let out an "ouch" as he fell to the ground!
"Where are you running to?" Ji Xiaonuan looked down at him. "Weren't you so arrogant before?"
Zhao Hengliang was furious. He thought he had just been careless. The next moment, he took out a Swiss Army knife hidden in his pocket!
"Get out of the way!" Zhao Hengliang shouted loudly and suddenly jumped up from the ground!
Ji Xiaonuan had never let down her guard. Seeing the cold light flash, she was startled and quickly dodged!
But before he could touch Ji Xiaonuan, his arm was tightly grabbed by Chi Jun'an beside him. Zhao Hengliang felt as if his wrist was clamped by iron pincers. He let out a cry of pain and dropped the Swiss Army knife in his hand.
"Who instigated you?!" Chi Jun'an asked sharply. "W-What?" Zhao Hengliang howled in pain.
Chi Jun'an's eyes darkened slightly. Was he being overly suspicious? At present, Ji Xiaonuan's identity hadn't been exposed. Who would deliberately target her? Judging from the situation, this should just be a coincidence. Zhao Hengliang just happened to have a knife and was only trying to escape smoothly.
Several little thugs had already been subdued by the bodyguards. The leader, Brother Li, said unconvincingly, "Hurry up and let me go! Do you know who I am? How dare you mess with us? I'll call our boss to deal with you later!"
"No need to call him. I'll let you go," Chi Jun'an took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down an address, then handed it to Brother Li. "This is my address. Ask him to come to me. I'm taking that person away."
Brother Li looked at Chi Jun'an in surprise. He was actually letting them go?
Chi Jun'an's fearlessness made him feel a little uneasy. Who exactly was Chi Jun'an? Why wasn't he afraid of him at all?
Brother Li looked around. He didn't want to stay any longer either. If the police were called, it would be even more troublesome. He snatched the piece of paper and bluffed, "You wait. We're leaving!"
Those little thugs quickly left. Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help frowning. "You just let them go like that?"
"They've suffered a loss. They'll definitely come after me again," Chi Jun'an said indifferently.
"Yeah, why didn't you send them to the police station?" Ji Xiaonuan was puzzled. "Are you sure you want to send them to the police station?" Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly. "Your mother will find out."
Ji Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment.
Indeed, if these little thugs were sent to the police station, there was no way to hide this from He Rou. So, Chi Jun'an had handled it this way for her sake? Since she didn't want her parents to know about their relationship, he had let these people go.
Ji Xiaonuan felt a warm feeling in her heart for no reason.
"It seems I can't accompany you to go around today," Chi Jun'an took her hand. "Come on, I'll send you back first."
"I'll go back to the hotel with you." Ji Xiaonuan said firmly.
"Hm?" Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows in surprise and smiled faintly. "Xiaoxi, don't worry. I'll deal with it."
"I know." Ji Xiaonuan nodded indifferently. Even though this was S City, Ji Xiaonuan believed that Chi Jun'an had the ability to handle such a situation. She insisted, "I want to stay with you."
It was better not to let her parents know about this kind of trouble-making thing, in case they developed a prejudice against Chi Jun'an. But she couldn't just do nothing. At least she could stay by Chi Jun'an's side.
With a gentle smile on his lips, Chi Jun'an nodded. "Okay."
The two of them went back to the hotel together. Chi Jun'an had booked the presidential suite on the top floor.
Chi Jun'an had already asked the waiter to prepare a sumptuous dinner in advance and send it to the bedroom. When they arrived, the dinner had just been delivered.
Chi Jun'an walked over and pulled out a chair for her.
Ji Xiaonuan sat down. Just as she picked up the appetizer red wine, Chi Jun'an took the glass away from her.
"Drink this." Chi Jun'an poured her a glass of orange juice.
"I want to have a taste." Ji Xiaonuan looked at him eagerly.
"Sure," Chi Jun'an smiled faintly. "If you drink it, I won't send you back, and I can't guarantee what will happen."
Ji Xiaonuan's cheeks turned slightly red, and she obediently picked up the orange juice.
Just as she was about to start eating, her phone rang. Ji Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows in surprise. The call was from He Rou.
She answered the phone in a daze. She heard He Rou ask, "Xiaoxi, your aunt just called and said that you bullied Ji Feifei when you went shopping with her today?"
Ji Xiaonuan was immediately filled with anger. That family was really too much. Not only did they scheme against her, but they also had the nerve to file a false accusation!
She had originally felt a little sorry for Ji Feifei, but after today's events, she really couldn't have any good feelings for Ji Feifei! "Mom, that family is talking nonsense!" Ji Xiaonuan said angrily and told He Rou how Ji Feifei had tricked her and how shameless Zhao Hengliang was. However, she didn't mention Chi Jun'an or the fact that Zhao Hengliang had found people to take revenge.
"That family!" He Rou gritted her teeth in anger. "We really shouldn't have any contact with them! By the way, Xiaoxi, where are you now?"
"Mom, don't worry. I'm with my friend!" Ji Xiaonuan looked at Chi Jun'an and said guiltily.
"Then come back early and be careful." He Rou gave a few words of advice and then hung up the phone.
"Xiaoxi, you start eating first." Chi Jun'an looked at his phone. "I'm going out for a while."
Ji Xiaonuan quickly said, "Are those people coming again? I'll go with you..."
