Chapter 544

Ning Chen replied without hesitation, "To enjoy the scenery."

"Enjoy the scenery?" Hearing this somewhat familiar answer, Qin Baihui smiled. This guy was still the same as before, always traveling. "I didn't expect you to have been traveling all the way from Haicheng until now."

"Yes! We've been to so many places!" Zhang Xiao exclaimed excitedly. "We've seen so, so many sights and landscapes; some are shocking, some are beautiful!"

"Is that so? You've been to so many places!" Qin Baihui looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "That truly is an extraordinary journey!"

Ning Chen spoke up, "What about you? Why did you come to Xia Dao?"

Qin Baihui smiled and said, "I'm here for a vacation. My father bought a villa on the beach here a few years ago. It was just cleaned up recently, so I came over to relax my mind."

"Villa! Villa! Villa!" Zhang Xiao shouted three times. For children, the word "villa" indeed held great impact.

Because it was a symbol of wealth, and it sounded very cool!

"Do you want to come with me?" Qin Baihui said to Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao's eyes sparkled. "Really? Is that allowed?"

As he spoke.

Zhang Xiao looked at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's go take a look."

This also resolved one of the points of conflict for Ning Chen.

If there was a place where someone could take care of Zhang Xiao.

Then his own actions could be carried out much more conveniently.

He wouldn't have to return to look after Zhang Xiao as he had before.

So.

If Zhang Xiao could be left to play at Qin Baihui's villa for a few days.

That would be the best situation.

This would also ensure Zhang Xiao's safety.

"Big sister, your skin is so fair. I remember you were a bit dark before." Zhang Xiao reached out and poked Qin Baihui's arm.

The tender, smooth skin made Zhang Xiao feel very comfortable.

"Ahahaha! Before, it was from sun exposure, but recently I've done well with whitening, so I've become fair!" Qin Baihui explained.

"Oh oh oh!" Zhang Xiao wore an expression of amazement.

Qin Baihui laughed. "But it's truly a coincidence to meet in such a place. I thought I'd never have the chance to see you again. We spent some time together, yet we didn't even leave a contact method."

"Hey, Mr. Who Doesn't Like to Talk, give us a contact method. We can help each other when we face difficulties!" Qin Baihui walked over to Ning Chen, rested her hand on the back of his seat, leaned her head close, and stared at Ning Chen's profile.

This slightly ambiguous behavior.

When facing a beauty of Qin Baihui's caliber.

Many people would lose their composure, look back, and then nervously pull their necks back.

But Ning Chen showed no reaction at all; he simply stared straight ahead at the road, not even his pupils moving.

"If you want it, you can have it, but you must help me with one thing." Ning Chen said slowly.

Seeing that Ning Chen was immune to her charm, Qin Baihui did not lose heart; after all, Ning Chen was just that kind of person.

Qin Baihui leaned closer and asked, "What thing?"

Ning Chen spoke in a voice only Qin Baihui could hear: "When we reach your villa, help me take care of Zhang Xiao for a few days. I need to handle some matters on Xia Dao before I can return; taking Zhang Xiao along would be inconvenient."

Hearing Ning Chen deliberately lower his voice.

It was clearly to prevent Zhang Xiao from knowing.

Qin Baihui placed one finger against her chin and smiled. "This request poses no difficulty for me!"

"Then just agree. I don't want Zhang Xiao to know." Ning Chen turned his head to look at Qin Baihui.

Looking at Ning Chen's handsome face, Qin Baihui's heart skipped a beat once again in an instant.

Just like when they met in the restaurant last time.

She instantly fell in love.

But the feeling was different.

If Ning Chen was of the cold type before, then now he must have changed somewhat; his entire demeanor carried a hint of warmth.

It was the mixture of these two temperaments that made Qin Baihui utterly infatuated.

Of course.

It also depended on the face.

Qin Baihui's face flushed slightly; she didn't know if it was from shyness or because the weather was too hot.

"Alright, I agree! But let's make one thing clear first: no matter what you go to do, you must return within three days!" Qin Baihui nodded.

"Alright, three days is enough." Ning Chen let out a long sigh of relief in his heart; now he finally didn't have to worry about Zhang Xiao's safety.

Taking this opportunity.

Qin Baihui hesitated for a moment, then said.

"My father has always wanted to see you. However, without a contact method, I heard he tried to find a way to reach you, but it seems he still hasn't been able to contact you." Qin Baihui said.

"What does he want with me?" Ning Chen asked in confusion.

"He said he wants to discuss some things with you, perhaps family assets and such nonsense. I think he really likes you. What do you say, do you want to meet him?" Qin Baihui said.

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "If he can come to Xia Dao within these three days, I can meet him."

"Alright, it's settled then!" Qin Baihui extended her hand, wanting to shake hands with Ning Chen.

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "I'm driving."

Qin Baihui felt a wave of disappointment, missing a good opportunity to negotiate.

If it were a negotiation at a table, she would have been able to shake his hand.

392. Buying Clothes

"In a moment, follow my lead for the rest of the way; I don't have a map here."

Qin Baihui said, looking at the road ahead.

Ning Chen asked, "Do you know the name? I can navigate."

"No, that place hasn't been recorded yet." Qin Baihui shook her head. "But there's an upscale residential area nearby; you can try searching for it."

"What's it called?" Ning Chen turned on the car computer.

"Fu'an." Qin Baihui spoke the two characters. "The people living there are wealthy, with strong backgrounds and power. If you want to recruit them, you can go take a look; you might get unexpected gains."

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in those things."

Having said that.

Ning Chen performed navigation inside the vehicle.

Once the navigation route was planned.

Ning Chen headed in that direction.

"When you reach that residential area, tell me; I'll guide you for the rest of the way." Qin Baihui said.

Ning Chen nodded.

Qin Baihui looked at Ning Chen, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You seem a bit different compared to before."

"Different? Me?" Ning Chen looked up at Qin Baihui. "That's just your illusion."

"It's not an illusion; you really are different; I can feel it." Qin Baihui shook her head and affirmed firmly.

Ning Chen paused for a moment, then said, "Maybe."

The motorhome sped along.

People on the road gradually increased.

Following the directions, Ning Chen arrived near the city of Xia Dao.

The live broadcast room.

When he got on the cross-sea bridge.

It had already been shut down.

"Brake!" Qin Baihui saw Ning Chen drive into the city and then cried out.

Ning Chen instinctively stepped on the brake; the motorhome stopped by the roadside. He turned back and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What else could it be!" Qin Baihui glared at Ning Chen. "Do you really want to go to the villa dressed like this? You'll cook to death! While we're in the city now, hurry and find a clothing store to buy some clothes!"

Ning Chen and Zhang Xiao exchanged a glance, then looked at the clothes they were wearing.

It was indeed time to change into something else.
