Hui Feichi narrowed his eyes slightly.
The girl’s red dress fell only to her knees, its design simple yet elegant, making her skin appear exceptionally fair.
Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she even wore a touch of makeup on her face, further enhancing her already beautiful features.
The man stared for a moment before snapping back to reality. He sneered, "Xu Qian, you seem to be living quite a comfortable life."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow, choosing to ignore his sarcastic remark.
She picked out her favorite pieces from a pile of clothes and put them directly into her spatial storage.
Song Xiaoping’s authority was immense; she could clear out a store, taking whatever she wanted, without even needing to pay.
Hui Feichi’s face darkened with anger at her nonchalant attitude. He said gravely,
"Do you think you'll be safe just because you're by Song Xiaoping’s side? He's not the kind of person you imagine."
Xu Qian glanced at him and replied indifferently, "What kind of person is Song Xiaoping?"
Hui Feichi was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and asked coldly,
"Has your cold poison been cured? Aren't you going to complain about me to your Song Xiaoping?"
The girl continued to pick out clothes from the rack, answering calmly, "I thought about it, but then decided against it."
The man narrowed his eyes and pressed on, "Why did you decide against it?"
"Are you here just to discuss these trivial matters?"
Hui Feichi got up with a grim expression and left. In his eyes, his concern was of no importance to her.
Of course, in Xu Qian's heart, it truly was of no importance.
Hui Feichi was not important to her.
The man walked a few steps, then looked back.
Xu Qian showed no reaction, continuing to select clothes.
Hui Feichi let out a laugh of exasperation, "I was going to give you the antidote, but I guess that's not necessary now?"
He took a glass bottle from his inner pocket, containing a green pill.
Hui Feichi shook it, producing a tinkling sound.
Xu Qian only reacted slightly upon hearing the word "antidote."
Her eyes flickered. She certainly wanted the antidote, but she didn't believe Hui Feichi would give it to her for free.
"What do you want?"
Hui Feichi narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Leave X Group, and I'll give you the antidote."
Xu Qian: ...
"You staying at X Group will surely lead to no good. You should leave quickly."
In truth, Hui Feichi didn't want her to remain at X Group.
Xu Qian's surprise attack on the base had caught them off guard, nearly destroying the headquarters. Moreover, Song Xiaoping was not an easy person to deal with.
He could love you one moment and kill you the next.
For both reasons of sentiment and logic, he didn't want her to stay here.
Xu Qian frowned. She was staying at X Group precisely to win over Song Xiaoping. Everyone was advising her to leave day in and day out.
While the antidote was important, Song Xiaoping was equally so.
"I'm not leaving for now."
Hui Feichi's face turned grim. He raised the antidote in his palm and said coldly, "You really don't want it?"
This antidote was the result of the laboratory's round-the-clock research, and it had taken great effort to obtain just one pill.
Was she willing to risk her own life for Song Xiaoping?
"Of course I want it. What else do you want? I'll try my best to satisfy your request."
Hui Feichi closed his eyes and then opened them again, regaining his composure.
"My only request is that you get out of X Group immediately."
Xu Qian really couldn't understand why he was so insistent on this matter.
If she really left, given Song Xiaoping's current temperament, it would be normal for him to turn his back on her.
"Then leave. Don't interrupt me while I'm trying on clothes."
"Xu Qian!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice interjected.
"What are you two talking about?"
The man was wearing a black robe today, but unlike the others, his sleeves and pant legs were trimmed with silver, making his robe appear more luxurious than the standard black ones.
He was tall to begin with, and when he looked down at people, it created a particularly chilling aura.
Handsome yet intimidating.
Hui Feichi instinctively tried to hide the antidote, but Song Xiaoping caught him red-handed.
"Give it here."
Hui Feichi dared not disobey and immediately placed the antidote into his palm.
Song Xiaoping's purple eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Qian'er, you're afflicted with cold poison?"
