Chi Shuyan was still feeling a little stupefied as the car drove off. She looked in the rearview mirror at the familiar man, who was still standing tall and upright as he stared unblinkingly in the direction of the car. She thought of how he had deliberately staked a claim in front of Jing Hengran just now, and her head ached terribly. She felt as embarra.s.sed as could be!

After thinking about it, she automatically ignored his last sentence about keeping her distance from other men.

There was a strange silence in the car.

Chi Shuyan looked at Jing Hengran, who was sitting quietly next to her, and felt a little embarra.s.sed. However, seeing that he was calm and didnt seem to mind, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief.

It was fine as long as he didnt take Qi Zhenbais words to heart.

As for her personal feelings, she didnt really want to talk about it or explain the situation. Besides, the two of them were barely acquainted, so she may as well pretend that nothing had happened. It was better to just look out the window quietly than to explain.

Jing Hengrans attention was still on the extraordinarily dangerous and threatening gaze of the man just now, and there was a question in his eyes.

He glanced at the woman next to him. It wasnt hard to imagine what kind of relations.h.i.+p they had!

But Jing Hengran didnt pry into other peoples private affairs. He was more curious about how an alchemist could become involved with an ordinary man.

Still, the man might look like an ordinary person on the surface, but the threat and danger beneath inexplicably made Jing Hengran very afraid, while the aura around him was really unlike that of an ordinary person.

After thinking for a while, Jing Hengran stopped dwelling on it. After all, this was someone elses private affair. He was about to look away, when he saw that the young lady next to him was pretending to be calm, but was actually suppressing her embarra.s.sment. He was inexplicably interested and suddenly asked, Boyfriend?

When Chi Shuyan heard the word boyfriend, she almost choked on her own saliva. She coughed a few times, and Jing Hengran patted her back like a gentleman. He found a bottle of mineral water from somewhere, opened it, and gave it to her.

Chi Shuyan took the mineral water and took a few sips, and the atmosphere became even more awkward.

Since the other party had asked, Chi Shuyan said honestly, Mm, he used to be a boyfriend, and is now an ex-boyfriend. Young Master Jing, dont dwell too much on it. It was a misunderstanding just now!

She originally wanted to say that there was no need to think too much about how Qi Zhenbai had staked a claim earlier, mainly because she and Jing Hengran were unfamiliar with each other. Why had that man suddenly done that in front of a stranger?

Wouldnt that make her even more embarra.s.sed?

Jing Hengran didnt expect the young lady in front of him to be so honest. He smiled gently and said, I think your boyfriend misunderstood!

Chi Shuyan said in her heart that he was an ex-boyfriend and not boyfriend, and then heard Jing Hengran add, But that person seems to have deep feelings for you!

Chi Shuyan didnt respond this time. She didnt want to discuss her and Qi Zhenbai at all. She smiled politely and changed the subject. Not long after, the car stopped at the Jing Auction House, and Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief.

Jing Hengrans mind was also on the contract. When he had gotten into the car earlier, he had contacted Qian Zhengde to draw up the contract first, so that it could be signed as soon as they arrived.

When they arrived, Qian Zhengde came out of the auction house to welcome them. As Chi Shuyan got out of the car, she realized that this Manager Qian was more enthusiastic toward her than ever before, and it was quite difficult for her to fend off his enthusiasm.

Qian Zhengde said excitedly, Young Master Jing, Miss Chi, the contract is ready in the private room!

Jing Hengran was very satisfied with Qian Zhengdes work efficiency. He had also read in the car earlier the contract which Qian Zhengde had drawn up, and it was fine. Hearing Qian Zhengdes words, he stretched out his hand and invited Chi Shuyan upstairs.

Since she was here to sign the contract, Chi Shuyan simply went upstairs to sign the contract with the other party. Before she did so, she skimmed the contract seriously and found that there were no problems with it. She was about to sign it, when she suddenly thought of something and said, Young Master Jing, if I decide not to choose three rare herbs, can I switch them out for a pill furnace?

Speaking of this, Chi Shuyan was quite embarra.s.sed. She might have some talent in alchemy, but she was very depressed about the fact that until now, she still didnt have a reliable pill furnace. Given how rich and imposing the Jing family was, she felt that they shouldnt lack pill furnaces.

It was simply a joke for an alchemist not to have a pill furnace.

Chi Shuyan was thick-skinned. For the sake of the pill furnace, she didnt care about her dignity. She looked at Jing Hengran and Manager Qian!

Her words stunned the two men, especially Qian Zhengde. He had thought that Miss Chi didnt want to sign the contract or cooperate with the Jing family anymore.

He thought of how Young Master Jing had sent him word of the cooperation earlier. This huge piece of good news was like a pie smas.h.i.+ng onto his head, which had overjoyed him and made him dizzy.

He was still excited even now, and afraid that something would go wrong halfway and Miss Chi would be displeased. Who would have thought that she would say such a thing?

No pill furnace?

Qian Zhengde was in disbelief, but on the surface, he looked cautiously at Young Master Jing before he immediately agreed. Yes yes yes, the Jing Auction House has many pill furnaces. Miss Chi, you can choose one later!

Jing Hengran also smiled and nodded at that moment. Since Miss Chi is cooperating with our Jing family, we naturally have to provide the pill furnace ourselves. Take it as a free gift from us. In addition, that promise just now still holds.

After a pause, Jing Hengran swiftly had Qian Zhengde include the pill furnace as part of the terms in the contract.

It had to be said that Jing Hengran knew how to conduct himself. Chi Shuyans heart had ached earlier at how she had suffered a loss. Since he was so good, Chi Shuyan didnt mind losing out a little. It seemed that cooperating with the Jing family might not be a bad thing.

She decisively signed her name and handed over the contract. She said to Jing Hengran and Manager Qian with a smile, Happy cooperation!
