Chen Cheng wiped the water off his hands and tossed the tissue into the trash bin in the elevator lobby.

Andy: [Anna]

Chen Cheng stared at the message Andy sent, stunned for a moment.

It seemed that everyone except Qiu Yingying had realized he was interested in Guan Juer.

Perhaps Guan Juer herself even had a vague feeling about it.

Andy was reminding him to watch his integrity.

However, Andy usually wouldn't get involved in such matters.

Sending this message now clearly meant she didn't want Chen Cheng to ruin Guan Juer.

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up; it seemed Andy had truly started to accept these 'friends' in Building 22, to the point of protecting them.

[...]

[Andy, love is blind. I won't hurt Guan Guan.]

When Chen Cheng returned to his doorstep, he saw an unexpected person.

He frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Qu Xiaoxiao glared at Chen Cheng, her eyes burning with rage, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Chen Cheng smirked, "Don't you like investigating people? You even found my college classmate."

"What? It's fine for you to investigate me, but you can't handle it when I have someone look into your social connections?"

Qu Xiaoxiao had asked Yao Bin to investigate him, and when they reached his college classmate, he found out that same day.

One could only say that the two of them were cut from the same cloth.

They had both arranged these things at almost the same time.

Uh...

Why was Yao Bin so stupid? He was asked to investigate someone, and not only did he fail to find any useful information, he even leaked their own background.

Qu Xiaoxiao knew she was in the wrong, but those photos absolutely could not get out; she was on the verge of tears.

In a pleading tone, she asked, "What do you want to delete the photos?"

Chen Cheng was speechless. Damn it, he wasn't the one who took them; she was really clutching at straws, wasn't she?

He impatiently pushed Qu Xiaoxiao aside to open the door, too lazy to deal with her.

Without a second thought, Qu Xiaoxiao blocked the closing door and followed him inside.

Chen Cheng frowned as he watched Qu Xiaoxiao enter; damn it, wasn't she dirtying his floor?

"Get out!"

Qu Xiaoxiao's tears fell, "Please, delete the photos. I promise to keep your affair with Fan Shengmei a secret."

Well, well, she was even threatening him now.

Chen Cheng's gaze was cold, "Are you sick in the head? Do you really think I'm blind and didn't see you following behind?"

"You knew?" Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened instantly.

Chen Cheng sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and sneered, "Don't you know that men who go to bars never just look at their own booth?"

"Or did you think no one would notice you holding onto a dancer?"

Qu Xiaoxiao froze on the spot.

She had thought she discovered a "secret," but when the person involved delivers the secret, is it still a secret?

The most critical thing now was, even if everyone knew Fan Shengmei and Chen Cheng had an affair, so what? At most, it would just prevent Chen Cheng from pursuing Guan Juer.

And it would let Fan Shengmei, that social climber, take advantage of the situation.

Those photos were different. She was very clear about the domestic public's attitude towards black men; she would become the laughingstock of the upper-class circles.

Forget about inheriting the family business; being kicked out would be the reality.

"Gulp~" Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but swallow hard. Looking at Chen Cheng, she felt a chill run down her spine; this person was too terrifying, as if she were standing naked in front of him.

No matter what, those photos absolutely could not get out.

Damn Edward, he actually took pictures while I was asleep!

If I don't sell you off to be a gigolo, I'll change my last name to yours!

Motherfucker, better solve the trouble in front of me first.

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, put on a pitiful expression, and went to sit next to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng immediately got anxious, "Don't touch my sofa, it's dirty!"

"You!"

"What? Am I wrong?" Chen Cheng said, smiling as he waved his phone.

Qu Xiaoxiao bit her lip until it bled; I will endure this!

At this moment, she hated this unfathomable man in front of her to the core.

After a long while, Qu Xiaoxiao suppressed the anger in her chest.

She put a smile on her face and said in a cutesy voice, "Brother Cheng, just delete those photos, I promise..."

"I promise that from now on, whenever I see Brother Cheng, I'll walk the other way. If I really can't avoid you, I promise to be obedient and absolutely won't annoy Brother Cheng."

"Also, Brother Cheng, don't worry. In the future, I'll definitely behave myself in Building 22 and will never provoke Guan Guan, Andy, or Fan Shengmei."

Watching Qu Xiaoxiao's subservient attitude, a smile appeared on Chen Cheng's face.

Dealing with a little vixen who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth was actually quite interesting.

"You're still somewhat clever; you even knew to include Guan Guan."

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled sycophantically, "Just now, when we were eating, your attitude..."

"I reckon that except for that fool Qiu Yingying, everyone else more or less figured something out."

"If you like Guan Guan, I can help you."

"You?"

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up; this Qu Xiaoxiao was indeed somewhat clever and quite sensible.

He shook his head and said, "No need, love is a matter between two people."

"Hiss~"

Qu Xiaoxiao gasped; this shameless man.

Just the day before yesterday, he was sleeping with the roommate of his "love," and today he's talking about love?

"Hehe~"

Chen Cheng waved his hand, "Alright, you can go back. As long as you behave, these couple photos of yours won't be leaked from me."

"Really?" Qu Xiaoxiao was somewhat incredulous.

"I have no interest in spreading your gossip."

Chen Cheng was telling the truth; he had absolutely no interest in Qu Xiaoxiao, and was even somewhat disgusted by her.

Wasting time with her would just be a waste of his time for picking up girls.

In reality, those photos were actually quite normal in terms of content; it was just that the male protagonist had dark skin.

In the eyes of some open-minded people, they might not think it was anything.

But in domestic high-society circles, Qu Xiaoxiao would become a laughingstock, dragging the Qu family down with her.

Qu Xiaoxiao was immediately overjoyed, but she still felt uneasy, "Brother Cheng, why don't you just delete them? Of course, I definitely believe you wouldn't spread them on purpose, but what if your phone breaks, or gets lost, then..."

Chen Cheng was already a bit impatient and took out his phone to delete the photos of Qu Xiaoxiao and her dark-skinned boyfriend.

These photos were found by Karen; if needed, he could just get them sent again.

He waved the phone in front of her, "Get out! I need to rest."

A smile appeared on Qu Xiaoxiao's face, "Okay, I'm leaving right away, leaving right away."

"Brother Cheng, get some rest early."

Just as Qu Xiaoxiao lowered her head to say goodnight, her eyes lit up as if she had discovered something incredible.

In a flash, she crouched down in front of Chen Cheng.

She looked at Chen Cheng seductively, "Brother Cheng, you seem to have a lot of pent-up energy; how about I help you let it out?"

"Get lost! I find it dirty!"

Chen Cheng emphasized the last word, almost roaring it.

Qu Xiaoxiao shuddered in fear and slunk out of 2301.

As soon as she got outside, her expression changed, and she gritted her teeth.

"Chen Cheng!!!"

"Chen Cheng, you jerk, how much better can Auntie Fan be?"

"Where am I worse than her?"
