Chapter 193

The owner has a shy smile on his face.

And An Xin naturally understands that this is the special treatment brought by Gao Qiqiang.

"Sorry to bother you, sorry to bother you!"

But Gao Qiqiang doesn't feel anything.

He greets An Xin.

"Come, dig in!"

"Oh, you say one word, and someone loses a whole night of business."

"What I usually give him, he couldn't earn back in a year."

Gao Qiqiang waves his hand.

He doesn't care about An Xin saying he disturbed the owner's business.

He has already taken very good care of these neighbors.

He believes that even without financial dealings.

The things he helps them with.

Are favors that many people couldn't buy with money.

And he just helped these neighbors and old friends out of neighborhood sentiment.

In all fairness.

Many favors and human connections cannot be measured by money at all.

[What is called 'face'! This is 'face'!]

[Because Gao Qiqiang wanted to eat with a friend, he chased all the other customers away!]

[The feeling of not having to say a word, and the owner automatically clearing the place!]

[But the owner is probably willing too!]

[Of course! The benefits of clinging to a towering tree like Gao Qiqiang are immeasurable, okay!]

[An Xin is still too upright, some privileges are naturally obtained as status increases!]

[But Gao Qiqiang seems to still treat An Xin as his best friend...]

[Gao Qiqiang doesn't have any other friends to confide in now, right?]

While speaking.

Gao Qiqiang and An Xin take out their small medicine boxes at the same time.

Preparing to take medicine before the meal.

And seeing the other's action.

Both are slightly surprised.

"You take medicine too?"

"For nerves, what about you?"

"Vitamins, with the meal!"

"Oh? Give me two!"

Saying that.

An Xin naturally reaches out to ask Gao Qiqiang for them.

As Gao Qiqiang hands them over, he mutters.

"Don't listen to those hospital doctors, don't listen to their random prescriptions, they're all quacks, I'm telling you!"

"Mine is indeed from a quack, named Gao Qilan..."

"Then she's okay!"

Gao Qiqiang pauses for a moment, then changes his words.

The two look at each other and smile.

Gao Qiqiang then asks.

"How are you and Xiao Lan doing now?"

"What do you mean how? She treats patients, I see doctors, but to be honest... I think her medical skills are really not very good... the medicine doesn't match the illness!"

"I didn't ask how her medical skills are, I'm asking how your relationship is?"

"The relationship is also, medicine doesn't match the illness."

"She likes you, do you know that?"

As Gao Qiqiang’s question is asked.

An Xin falls silent.

But all the viewers are shocked.

Gao Qilan... likes An Xin?!

What kind of explosive news is this???

These two haven't even met a few times... how did she fall in love?

[Wait wait wait... what kind of development is this?!]

[How did Gao Qilan fall in love with An Xin??]

[Gao Qilan hasn't even appeared that many times, right?? When did she fall for An Xin?!]

[This is her brother’s mortal enemy, does she know??]

[She must know, but Gao Qiqiang has never treated An Xin as an enemy, otherwise he wouldn't have let Gao Qilan be.]

[Didn't Gao Qilan study abroad for many years and only returned to the country recently.]

[What's so good about An Xin....]

[Maybe she likes An Xin’s sense of justice!]

[That's true! In all of Jinghai City, besides An Xin, there's no one else who dares to stand up to Gao Qiqiang like this!]

And with An Xin’s silence.

Gao Qiqiang knows the answer.

"So that means you know."

"Do you know when she started liking you?"

"I'll gossip with you secretly, don't you ever tell her."

"I heard it from Xiao Sheng before."

Gao Qiqiang straightens his clothes and begins to recall the past.

Chatting about such family topics, Gao Qiqiang is clearly more talkative, and his tone carries joy.

"That year I sent a TV to Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, and they beat me up."

"Didn't you take me to the Public Security Bureau for questioning?"

"Then Xiao Lan and the others came to bring me dumplings."

"She said, you opened the TV in the office next door for her to watch the Spring Festival Gala!"

"She fell in love with you that night, love at first sight..."

Saying that.

Gao Qiqiang can't help but sigh.

Fate is so clever!

More than twenty years ago! They had already set the direction of their destiny!

And Gao Qilan actually fell in love with An Xin at that time?!

All the viewers express their disbelief!

But they soon recall the scene at that time!

Indeed, An Xin was still very kind back then.

Secretly using his authority to let the three Gao siblings eat dumplings during the New Year!

And this kindness,

Gao Qiqiang has remembered it for a lifetime!

Even though An Xin opposes him no matter what.

Gao Qiqiang still regards An Xin as a good friend and confidant.

[She fell in love with An Xin that early?!]

[It really was love at first sight!!]

[This... how many years has it been?!]

[She’s so loyal... she still remembers An Xin?!]

[My god....]

[Gao Qilan is so pitiful... falling in love with someone she can never be with...]

[Not necessarily... I feel like An Xin wouldn't be repulsed by Gao Qilan!]

[An Xin will probably be tied to Gao Qiqiang for the rest of his life! He won't give up until he catches Gao Qiqiang!]

[Sigh... why bother! To be honest, Gao Qiqiang hasn't done anything truly heinous~!]

And it’s not just the viewers.

An Xin is also a bit dazed.

"Twenty-one years?"

He asks with a sigh and disbelief.

But then he calms his mood and jokes.

"It shows how dashing I was back then!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The two laugh heartily.

As if recalling the green years of the past.

And Gao Qiqiang continues.

"You know, Xiao Lan is really strange... you're Gao Qiqiang’s sister! Who couldn't she find if she wanted a boyfriend..."

"No way, she just likes you!"

"So I was thinking..."

"Why don't you two... just give it a try?"

"If it works out... you two get married."

Saying this.

Gao Qiqiang’s expression is serious.

As if he is really thinking about the feasibility of this matter!

"Then you... leave Jinghai."

"Anywhere in the country! You choose!"

"Of course! Anywhere in the world! You don't have to worry about money!"

"How about it?"

With Gao Qiqiang’s serious eyes asking the question.

Not only An Xin.

But even countless viewers can't help but feel a sense of shock.

Gao Qiqiang... he isn't serious, is he?!

He really wants to marry his sister to An Xin?!

You have to know that An Xin can be considered his mortal enemy now!

One is the police!

One is the leader of a criminal organization!

The two can be said to be completely incompatible!

The reason they can eat together at this time.

Is just that besides their open hostility.

Their private friendship is indeed not shallow!

Gao Qiqiang and An Xin truly regard each other as confidants!

Having no other friends, they have come to regard each other as old friends!

Setting aside their opposing identities and positions.

The two could probably really become very close friends!

And the words Gao Qiqiang says at this time.

One can feel the serious and earnest meaning from his tone and expression!

He truly wants to entrust Gao Qilan to the confidant he trusts very much! An Xin!

It can even be said.

He has already thought about how to arrange the next steps for the two!

However, Gao Qiqiang seems to have a premonition.

He has already prepared for the possibility that he might have an accident.

Wanting to entrust his sister to someone he trusts in advance.

It seems he also senses Gao Qiqiang’s serious attitude.

An Xin ponders for a moment and says seriously.

"First, your sister is really quite good, she’s pretty, and her conditions are good in every way."

"But I don't have feelings..."

"It's not that I don't have feelings for your sister, it's that I don't have feelings for myself."

"For so many years, I've gotten used to being alone."

"Being alone is really... quite good."

"Second, I am a Jinghai person, why should I leave Jinghai."

"I finally made it to this level, I'm about to get a promotion! If I leave, all my hard work will be for nothing!"

Speaking to the end.

An Xin is clearly trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"You wouldn't get promoted even if you retired, if you were going to be promoted, you would have been ten years ago!"

Gao Qiqiang laughs and scolds, but soon sighs.

"Sigh..."

"Old An, actually, I agree with what you just said."

"After Shu Ting left, many people introduced me to others over the years, saying I should find a new partner."

"I don't have feelings for anyone."

"I just feel being alone is quite good!"

"I deeply agree with your idea!"

While speaking.

Gao Qiqiang’s face also carries nostalgia and longing.

Clearly, Chen Shuting’s departure was a huge blow to Gao Qiqiang.

He hasn't even walked out of this shadow to this day.

And finding a new partner is not even in Gao Qiqiang’s consideration.

Naturally.

Gao Qiqiang also understands An Xin’s idea.

Or rather, he empathizes.
