Please Take Care of Me, Young Master Quan

Chapter 109: Pinch or Touch?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Their confrontation naturally drew the attention of Chu Yujiang and Ling Yun, who were nearby, in the midst of discussing their plan to apprehend someone. They saw their master approaching a lady in a qipao, getting closer and closer. Eventually, he even reached out and lifted her chin, his expression a mixture of amusement and interest. At first glance, he resembled a street thug trying to accost a pretty girl.

“Is this the person we’re looking for?” Chu Yujiang nodded in the direction of Shen Wan and quirked his mouth slightly. “Well, since the boss took the initiative, we can just relax now.”

Ling Yun looked puzzled. “Is he trying to pinch her to death?”

“Not necessarily…”

“Then why did he reach out his hand?”

Now, even Chu Yujiang wasn’t sure. Sixth Lord didn’t need to take someone’s life personally, let alone in a way that involved “pinching.” But if it wasn’t “pinching,” what could it be? .𝒎

Suddenly, the word “touch” popped into his mind. When he realized it, Chu Yujiang couldn’t help but find it amusing. Did his lordship actually take the initiative to touch a woman? What a joke.

However, when he looked at the dark yet playful glint in his lord’s eyes, the gentle caress of his fingertips on the woman’s chin, and the faint, almost imperceptible smile on his lips… no matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem like he was out for blood; rather, it was as if he was pursuing something for himself!

But then, a different thought occurred to him, and he felt jubilant. Counting the incident at the hot spring villa, this was the second time Quan Banting had shown an interest in a woman. Thank goodness his lordship was finally catching on!

“I feel like I’ve seen this woman’s silhouette somewhere before,” Ling Yun murmured.

Chu Yujiang raised an eyebrow upon hearing that. Ling Yun had an excellent memory and had never been wrong before.

Meanwhile, the man and woman were still locked in a standoff.

When Shen Wan responded with, “Aren’t you old?” the air instantly grew heavy, and a chilling tension swept over, turning the scorching summer into an instant winter.

As their eyes met, one exuded coldness, while the other displayed pride, igniting invisible sparks.

“Shen Wan, provoking me serves no purpose.” Quan Banting’s words were heavy, carrying a thousand pounds of intimidation as they came crashing down on her.

The girl’s eyelashes quivered slightly, but she simply replied with a calm, “Oh,” as if she didn’t regard his warning seriously.

No longer entangled in the question of “old or not old,” Quan Banting got straight to the point. “Tell me, what’s your relationship with Yi Bong?”

Shen Wan’s eyelid twitched. She brushed his hand away and pushed against his chest. His chest felt firm as if clad in armor, yet not as cold as metal. He wasn’t wearing a heavy coat today, and through the thin summer shirt, she could distinctly feel the warmth of his flesh and the defined contours of his muscles.

“1 don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“It seems I didn’t express myself clearly enough.” The man chuckled, but his next words were like a noose tightening around Shen Wan’s neck. “Just now, Yi Hong left from Tea Room No. 7, and you were inside. What does that imply? One is a real estate tycoon in Beihai, and the other is the heiress of a prestigious family in Ning City. There shouldn’t be any connection between you two. However, not long ago, your brother, Shen Qian, planned to develop a resort project in Beihai. First, the bid price was leaked, and then he purchased a plot of land from Yi Hong, but it all ended in failure due to a tsunami-like setback. Each link is intertwined, cutting off all his retreat options in Beihai, and he could only leave in embarrassment. I wonder if these events have anything to do with Miss Shen? Hm?”

His tone had a rising inflection, and he seemed quite pleased with himself. It was like a lion toying with a wild rabbit, its sharp claws lightly prodding the little creature’s soft belly, ready to eviscerate and devour it at any moment.

Shen Wan, on the other hand, grew calmer as the initial shock and astonishment faded away, and her thoughts gradually settled..
