Lin Qingya had always seemed to him the kind of calm, sane, and intelligent woman who didn't seem to cheer over a small gift like the other girls in her teens.

Actually, he was wrong. Lin Qingya was only in her early twenties, the age that loved romance. Moreover, no matter how old a woman was, she still needed romance and pa.s.sion. Occasionally, a small gift or two wouldn't cost too much, but it would let them feel the genuine concern of the other party.

Thinking of this, Qin Hai gave Lin Qingya a gentle kiss on the cheek and said, "How about we go to the dining hall for dinner tonight and then go watch a movie?"

Lin Qingya looked up in delight. "Sure!" Then he asked curiously, "Why is it so good today? Giving me a present and even inviting me out to eat and watch a movie, did you do something to let me down? "

Qin Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I really don't have any. I just feel a little sorry for you. I should have been the one to blame for what happened in the company. As a result, you didn't even have the time to go shopping!"

"Alright, as long as you have the heart, I'm satisfied!" Lin Qingya kissed Qin Hai on the cheek and stood up, giggling. After packing up, she took his arm. "Let's go and eat first!"

Since he wanted to give Lin Qingya a romantic night, it was naturally the most suitable Western cuisine. Qin Hai drove Lin Qingya to a quiet and elegant western restaurant. Under the decoration of candles and flowers, accompanied by a melodious piano piece, the two of them enjoyed a romantic French feast.

After dinner, Lin Qingya drank a gla.s.s of red wine and her cheeks flushed a little. Her watery eyes were filled with boundless love for Qin Hai. That beautiful face, when matched with the emerald jade pendant, was exceptionally charming.

Lin Qingya covered her mouth and chuckled. She waved her fair and tender hands in front of Qin Hai. "It's time to go, idiot!"

Qin Hai suddenly woke up and laughed: "This jade pendant really suits you. You look really beautiful when you wear it.

"I know, you gave it to me. I'll always wear it!" Qin Hai hadn't told Lin Qingya about the other uses of the jade pendant yet, so she didn't understand the meaning behind Qin Hai's words. She smiled as she took Qin Hai's arm and dragged him out of the restaurant, in a hurry to go to the movies with Qin Hai.

Perhaps it was because her mood was too good, but tonight she didn't seem like that frosty female CEO at all. Instead, she seemed more like a pure and innocent girl that had fallen in love at the age of twenty, appearing exceptionally lively and adorable.

After the movie ended, Qin Hai and Lin Qingya went to the washroom. When Qin Hai came out, he waited at the door. Suddenly, an uncomfortable feeling arose in his heart, just like back when he was secretly infiltrated by the In base. He was being watched in the dark by the In sentries.

He glanced to his left and right. On the right side of the aisle stood a young couple, laughing and joking, the boy with his arm around the girl's waist, the girl beating him gently on the chest from time to time, clearly in love.

The feeling of being watched soon disappeared. Qin Hai quietly took out his cell phone and pretended to play with it.

At this moment, the young couple walked to the bathroom door. The girl entered the ladies room, while the boy leaned against the wall like Qin Hai and started playing with his phone.

Qin Hai smiled and put his phone back in his pocket. Then, he walked in front of the boy and asked, "Say it, who sent you guys here?"

"No need to put on an act. Ever since we left the restaurant, you guys have been following us. Although you've changed your clothes, do you think it's stupid for trying to trick me with that?"

"

A look of astonishment flashed in the boy's eyes, then he said angrily, "I don't understand what you're saying, you lunatic!" After saying that, he turned around and walked to the other side of the tunnel.

The boy turned pale with fright. He quickly pulled out another dagger from his waist and stabbed towards Qin Hai. Qin Hai moved to the side and grabbed the boy's wrist, twisting his arm behind his back.

At this moment, several muscular men in black came walking in from the other side of the pa.s.sageway. They were the Starlight elite that had been protecting Lin Qingya from behind.

Qin Hai handed the kid to them, "Bring him back!"

"Big Brother Qin!" When Qin Hai turned around, Li Yuerong, who had been in charge of protecting Lin Qingya, arrived in front of him. The girl who had just entered was currently in her hands.

"Well done!" Qin Hai nodded towards Li Yuerong, indicating that he should leave with the Star Light elites. Tonight, Lin Qingya had played so happily. Qin Hai did not want to ruin her good mood because of these two fellows.

However, not long after Li Yuerong and those Starlight elites left, there was a sudden sharp scream from the female restroom. Following that, there was a dull "bang" sound, as if someone had smashed into a wall.

Qin Hai rushed into the bathroom and saw Lin Qingya squatting on the floor in fear. Not far in front of her, a woman in black had just gotten up from the floor. It was the ninja named Huizi.

Qin Hai did not give chase. Instead, he helped Lin Qingya up from the ground and lightly patted her back to comfort her.

After a while, when Lin Qingya had calmed down, Qin Hai brought her out of the movie theater and into the Land Rover.

After a careful examination by Qin Hai, Lin Qingya was not injured at all, and according to Lin Qingya's explanation, the female ninja named Huizi had not touched her at all. Moreover, when the female ninja had brandished her saber and attacked, the jade pendant in front of her chest suddenly emitted a green light, causing her to fly backwards.

Qin Hai was extremely frightened after hearing this. He didn't expect that these people would actually play such a trick to lure the tiger out of the mountain. If he hadn't given Lin Qingya the jade pendant with the defensive array engraved on it today, she would definitely be in trouble by now.
