Jiang Qin swiftly glanced at Si Fan.
Si Fan's bright peach blossom eyes met Jun Yan's gaze, with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, not showing much courtesy.
"Thank you."
Jun Yan's voice was low and magnetic, naturally enticing, "No trouble at all."
Jiang Qin looked back and forth at the two of them, even someone as naive as her could sense something was off.
After all, the young master of the Jun Family was constantly staring at her daughter.
Could it be... he's taken a liking to her daughter's looks?
Jiang Qin doubted in her mind, deciding to observe whether this man had such intentions, so she didn't refute her daughter's words.
And so, Jun Yan personally escorted Si Fan and Jiang Qin into the hotel.
While patrolling, the hotel manager accidentally saw Jun Yan carrying several shopping bags with one hand, escorting a familiar mother and daughter into the elevator, his eyes widened instantly.
Well damn, aren't they the mother and daughter the boss told him to specially take care of yesterday?
The boss actually... stooped to help them carry shopping bags?!
Could it be that this mother and daughter pair is some untouchable big shot?!
The hotel manager breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wiped a cold sweat, thankful that he acted quickly yesterday and didn't offend them, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to get out of it.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened at the top floor.
Jiang Qin and Si Fan stepped out first, neither carrying anything in their hands.
Jun Yan followed a step behind, carrying bags in his right hand, a total of more than a dozen.
Jiang Qin glanced at Jun Yan with some embarrassment, "Young Master Jun, thank you, please come in for a glass of water before you leave."
Just now, Jun Yan insisted on helping her carry the bags, and she couldn't resist the charm of this handsome guy, so she absentmindedly handed him the bags.
She herself despised the fact that she was distracted by a young man.
It's so... embarrassing it's almost toe-curling.
Jun Yan didn't stand on ceremony, he didn't even need to think, "Okay."
That straightforward?!
Jiang Qin was taken aback.
Si Fan pulled out the room card and opened the door, then pushed it open, leaning lazily against the door, glancing at Jiang Qin and Jun Yan.
Jiang Qin came back to her senses, hurriedly gestured for Jun Yan, "Please, come in."
Jun Yan: "Ladies first, Auntie, please."
Jiang Qin looked at the gentlemanly and polite man, internally admiring, this is what a child raised by a big family is like, emanating an extraordinary demeanor with every move.
One can't find any fault with them.
Jiang Qin didn't dwell on who would go in first and entered herself.
Once inside, she instructed Si Fan, "Fanfan, go get Young Master Jun a glass of water."
The guy kindly helped them carry things up here, so they should at least offer him something to drink as a gesture of thanks.
But Si Fan frowned.
She, a War God Queen, with all her pride, had never served anyone tea or water.
Si Fan shot Jun Yan a look and promptly said, "The kettle and cups are on the coffee table, help yourself."
Jun Yan had just walked in and upon hearing this, looked at her, his dark eyes seemed a bit deep.
Jiang Qin heard it and quickly turned around, scolding Si Fan, "Fanfan, how can you let a guest pour water for themselves?! Go quickly and pour Young Master Jun a glass."
Si Fan didn't move but stared directly at Jun Yan.
Her eyes were cold, with no expression on her face.
Clearly, one could feel that the girl was displeased, and might show her sharp claws at any moment.
Jun Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, retracting his gaze, he said to Jiang Qin, "I'll do it myself."
Jiang Qin: "Ah, this..." How embarrassing.
Before Jiang Qin could finish speaking, Jun Yan stepped to the sofa, put down the shopping bags, very proactively picked up the kettle, took one of the sterilized cups from the table, poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip.
Then he set it down, methodically, as if completing a task.
This made Jiang Qin feel more embarrassed and anxious, afraid of offending him, "Young Master Jun, thank you again, just please, don't take issue with my daughter, she's been a bit rebellious lately."
Jun Yan glanced at Si Fan, his voice very soft, "It's fine, I don't dare to take issue with her."
What if I upset the little wildcat?
Hard to appease.
Jiang Qin: "Huh?!"
Si Fan crossed her arms, lazily threw a glance at Jun Yan, her pretty peach blossom eyes full of obvious arrogance and warning, "Not leaving yet?"
Jun Yan let out a low chuckle, alright, if he didn't leave, the little wildcat would likely start being rude to him.
"Goodbye, Miss Si."
"Goodbye, Madam Si."
He politely bid farewell, his gaze lingering on Si Fan's pretty face for a few seconds, then stepped out.
Si Fan frowned, thought for a moment, then turned and caught up with the man who had reached the door.
"Wait a moment."
Jun Yan turned back, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Hmm?"
Si Fan: "Thank you."
Jun Yan looked at her leisurely, "Miss Si, what are you thanking me for?"
Si Fan smiled, unabashed, "Thank you for not holding a grudge against me for that time when I accidentally pounced on you."
She said it straightforwardly, without a trace of the shyness or embarrassment typical of a young woman.
It was as if she was just plainly stating a fact.
Jun Yan looked at her, speechless for a while.
Si Fan met his gaze, her tone paused, and without waiting for him to respond, she shrugged and continued, "But you knocked me out unsuccessfully, and since I've already thanked you, let's call it even."
Hmm, meaning, no debts owed.
Jun Yan looked down at her, understanding what she meant, a hint of depth flashed in his eyes, "At the time, I was truly startled."
Said quite seriously.
Meaning, wanting to call it even, no way!
Si Fan: "..."
She silently stared at him for nearly three seconds, then stepped back, her fair hand grasped the door panel, "You should go, take care."
Then she closed the door without hesitation, cutting off their line of sight.
Jun Yan couldn't help but laugh, the curve of his lips inexplicably meaningful.
After closing the door, Si Fan turned around, frowning, her eyebrows tinged with a bit of irritation.
Oh, what regret for that momentary lapse in judgment when she let herself be seduced by his looks.
Hopefully, it's not going to lead to some big trouble.
At this moment, Jiang Qin came over, looking at her with a puzzled expression, "Fanfan, do you know this Young Master Jun?"
Si Fan replied concisely, "We've met once."
Jiang Qin stared at Si Fan, whispering, "So he... does he have feelings for you?"
Si Fan looked at Jiang Qin, countering, "What do you think?"
Jiang Qin: "..." How would I know!
It just felt odd.
Being inexplicably given a ride by the enthusiastic Lady Jun, and then strangely exchanging contact information.
In the end, Young Master Jun oddly escorted them upstairs.
So many inexplicable things!
She was bewildered, utterly confused.
Jiang Qin dazedly thought for a while, starting to self-hypnotize, "Maybe he was just being kind, Fanfan, don't overthink it, thinking he'll take a liking to you. After all, the young master from a wealthy family probably has all kinds of women around him. He won't fancy someone of our status, don't get your hopes up too much, I fear you'll get hurt."
Si Fan: "..."
