However, Shang Wenqi is 1.9 meters tall and is also a martial artist. How could Ning Ning be able to compete with him?

Soon, Ning Ning seemed to be kneaded into his bones and blood, and she was unable to break free.

Ning Ning could only sigh and hug Shang Wenqi with her backhand.

Forget it, I'll just take it back after suffering the loss.

Qingfeng Mingyue, who was patrolling inside the mine at this moment, wished she could blind her own eyes. The boss and Miss Ning were behaving so intimately in front of the gate of the mine... How disgraceful, so immoral, so immoral.

The two of them squatted in an inconspicuous corner while arguing, and continued to watch the fun.

"Ms. Ning is indeed beautiful. She is probably the first girl who can make the boss so unable to control himself."

"That's right. All these years I thought our boss had the hardest time finding a wife, but it turns out he got ahead of everyone else."

"Why else would they say he is our boss? When do the boss and Miss Ning plan to have their wedding?"

"Well, is there any need to explain this? This mission must be over. I will ask for your permission when I return."

"But Miss Ning is in deep mourning, so she may not agree."

"I am the boss, and I will definitely wait for Miss Ning for three years without hesitation."

The two of them were chatting leisurely and elegantly, and even though they lowered their voices, their words still reached Shang Wenqi's ears.

After a long time, he finally let go of Ning Ning, and his eyes swept towards their location indifferently.

The two men were shocked and subconsciously shrank their bodies, their faces filled with anxiety and shock.

"Will the boss find us?"

"Stop talking, let's run first."

As they talked, the two of them crouched down and ran away stealthily.

Ning Ning was completely unaware and after Shang Wenqi let go, her legs felt a little weak, but Shang Wenqi still held her up.

Ning Ning was a little unhappy at this time. After a while, she calmed down and said, "You can't do this. I'm not your dodder flower. You can take whatever you want from me."

Shang Wenqi raised his eyebrows with confusion in his eyes.

"I must be the queen. You cannot kiss me without my permission. You can only kiss me if I ask you to kiss me, or if you get my permission. Otherwise, any action you take is just hooliganism."

"Oh." Shang Wenqi nodded, and then kissed her on the cheek.

The warm lips brushed across her face, causing her to shudder slightly.

Ning Ning subconsciously covered her face with a look of shock: "What are you doing?"

"You just took the initiative to propose marriage." Shang Wenqi replied expressionlessly.

"How could I?" Ning Ning was shocked.

"Your eyes told me." Shang Wenqi said and walked into the mine first.

"Shang Wenqi, you are cheating. I didn't expect that you, an ice cube, could cheat." Ning Ning chased after him speechlessly, cursing all the way.

At this moment, she did not call him Captain in a strange way, nor did she call him Brother Aqi in a friendly way. It was obviously impolite to call him by his full name, but it sounded particularly pleasant to the ear.

Shang Wenqi curled his lips in a very good mood, and the unhappiness he had just felt because she only gave a gift to the princess but not to him disappeared.

Little did they know that after the two men left, a man in the bushes outside silently clenched his fists.

He was skinny, unkempt, and his face was full of disappointment and anger.

……

When Ning Ning arrived at the warehouse, it was still quiet.

But she always felt that the person who peeped that day would definitely come again. Even if not today, then tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow.

After all, it's always a good idea to sit back and wait for something to happen.

Not long after the two came in, Qingfeng Mingyue, who were pretending to be on patrol, also came back. They didn't dare to look at Shang Wenqi directly, but just glanced at Ning Ning guiltily.

"Miss Ning is here."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ning Ning didn't doubt him and chatted with them normally.

The two of them quickly waved their hands to show that it was not hard, and before Shang Wenqi's cold eyes swept over them, they disappeared swiftly and went to work.

Ning Ning tilted her head in confusion: "Why are they acting so strange today?"

Shang Wenqi curled his lips without saying anything, and sat down calmly next to Ning Ning.

Ning Ning didn't mind. She took out some preserved fruits from her arms and asked him if he wanted to eat some.

Shang Wenqi looked at the preserved fruits spread on the fair palm. They were black and not very pretty, not as pleasing to the eye as her porcelain white palm.

But Shang Wenqi still couldn't help it. He lowered his head, took the dried fruit from Ning Ning's hand and put it into his mouth.

His lips brushed across her palm vaguely, devoutly and loyally.

Ning Ning felt her palms were wet. She reached out and wiped them on Shang Wenqi's clothes with some disgust: "What are you crazy about?"

Shang Wenqi lowered his eyes and did not answer Ning Ning's question. Instead, he commented seriously: "It's too sweet and affects the taste."

"Oh, you're still complaining." Ning Ning was speechless: "You think you're a princess, with so many demands."

Shang Wenqi rarely raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

Ning Ning was shocked when she saw his smiling face. Shang Wenqi, who had an icy face for thousands of years, could actually smile. Although it was very shallow, it was precisely this shallow smile that made him look more handsome.

Speaking of which, Shang Wenqi did inherit some of his aunt's beauty, especially when he smiled, he looked quite enchanting.

Seeing Ning Ning's dumbfounded expression, Shang Wenqi realized something and immediately put away his smile, returning to his cold expression.

Ning Ning couldn't help but wonder: "You look very pretty when you smile, why don't you smile more? Are you afraid of charming all the ladies in Kyoto?"

Shang Wenqi was stunned: "You... think my smile is pretty?"

"Yeah." Ning Ning nodded: "He is the man with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen."

Shang Wenqi was very surprised, as if he had thought of something, and he spoke in a somewhat lonely tone.

"My father doesn't like me laughing. He said that when I laugh I look exactly like the southern barbarians. When he sees me laughing, he thinks of the scene when the southern barbarians won the battle and abused the people of Daliang."

Shang Wenqi said this calmly, but Ning Ning could almost imagine the scene.

Little Shang Wenqi might have laughed because he was playing with his friends, or maybe he laughed because he was happy to have got first place in the exam. However, Shang Wenqi's father did not praise him. Instead, he slapped him a few times for laughing and scolded him harshly.

His brothers also mocked him and called him a barbarian bastard.

Ning Ning was an orphan in her previous life. After being adopted by her adoptive father, she was trained to be a mercenary.

Although her life was not very happy, at least her stepfather would not mentally abuse her like this.

Sometimes, childhood trauma really does take a lifetime to heal.

Shang Wenqi's coldness might be related to his childhood.

Ning Ning couldn't help but reach out and hold his slightly clenched fist.

"I don't agree with what your father said. Beauty is beauty. This is an objective existence and will not change because of human will. I even guess that your mother must be a beauty, otherwise how could he be attracted to her? It is obvious that he is attracted to your mother, but he is unwilling to face it."
