"Xu Fan! We won!"

As the final pair to finish kissing, it was already certain - they were the champions of the kissing competition!

Watching the pair of gay men reluctantly seize the second-place prize and step down from the stage, Li Qinghe couldn't contain her excitement and jumped for joy.

"Silly woman."

Seeing her so elated, Xu Fan shook his head with a mix of laughter and tears.

For her, this kind of happiness was mostly something money couldn't buy, wasn't it?

"Congratulations to the two of you for winning this kissing competition!"

At that moment, the host came over with the first-place diamond ring in hand.

"I hope this diamond ring can bear witness to your love."

The event had been a complete success, and the host believed the bar's popularity would climb to new heights! With a smile, he presented the diamond ring to Li Qinghe.

"Thank you."

This diamond ring was hard-earned for Li Qinghe, who now received it from the host as if it were a most treasured prize, cradling it in her palm.

"Had enough fun, time to head back, okay?"

The kissing contest had lasted nearly four hours, and now that it was nearly two in the morning, Xu Fan led an engrossed Li Qinghe, who was still absorbed in admiring the diamond ring, off the stage and spoke.

"Mm-hmm."

"..."

Li Qinghe didn't even lift her head, and watching her so thrilled, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

He guessed she hadn't heard a word he'd just said.

So, taking Li Qinghe by the hand, Xu Fan led her out of the bar.

Once in the car, they drove back to the Four Seasons Hotel.

All the way, Li Qinghe kept her eyes on the diamond ring, her infatuated look more akin to that of a smitten young woman than a superstar actress whose worth had long since exceeded a billion…

"You've been looking at it for so long, how about I put it on for you?"

Upon reaching the hotel's underground parking, Xu Fan stopped the car and turned to Li Qinghe sitting beside him with an offer.

"No... I can't..."

At this suggestion, Li Qinghe shook her head like a bobblehead doll.

It seemed she was very reluctant to part with it.

Having Xu Fan put the ring on for her was indeed Li Qinghe's wish.

But Li Qinghe didn't want it to happen at this time and place.

"Xu Fan, next time, you can put this ring on me."

With a slight smile, Li Qinghe put the ring away and said.

She believed that day would eventually come.

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Nodding his head, he agreed to Li Qinghe's request, and then, the two of them headed upstairs.

At this hour, everyone was already resting, including Wang Zhennan and the others.

Otherwise, seeing Xu Fan and Li Qinghe return at this time would probably scare him witless.

Li Qinghe had to start shooting the next day, so after going crazy tonight until this hour, it was crucial to get some rest and rejuvenate.

Having escorted her to the door, Xu Fan said, "Alright, go back to your room and get some rest."

"Mm."

Li Qinghe nodded, took out her room card, opened the door, and walked in.

"Xu Fan, thank you."

This night's experience would never be forgotten. Leaning against the door, Li Qinghe was reluctant to just close it.

It took her a while to say goodbye.

"See you tomorrow..."

...

The next day, early in the morning, just as it was starting to get light, there came a loud knocking at the door.

Having stayed up late with Li Qinghe, Xu Fan was still a bit sleepy and took a while to get out of bed and open the door.

"Hmm? Brother Wang, good morning…"

Yawning, Xu Fan then greeted Wang Zhennan, who was standing at the door.

"…"

Seeing Xu Fan's drowsy and bleary-eyed appearance, Wang Zhennan couldn't help but feel a wave of contempt.

What a disgrace?

So slovenly—is this how a bodyguard should look?

An excellent bodyguard should be like himself, early to bed and early to rise, ready and energetic to safeguard Miss Li's itinerary for the next day!

Him?

Far from it!

"Hurry up and change your clothes and come out."

Without a reminder, he thought to himself that when Miss Li came out later, she'd also see the difference between this guy and himself.

Perhaps then, upon seeing him, Miss Li would become furious and fire him on the spot!

Basking in the thought, Wang Zhennan gave Xu Fan a quick instruction and then scurried over towards Li Qinghe's door.

After a short wait, Xu Fan and the three others, including Green Rakshasa, had changed their clothes and came over.

Seeing Xu Fan's listless look, Wang Zhennan couldn't help but smirk.

Humph, kid, let's see how you'll explain yourself to Miss Li later!

Click.

Soon enough, they heard Li Qinghe opening her room door.

Like a reflex, Wang Zhennan instantly stood up straight as if he was a javelin.

"Miss Li! Good morning!"

He pondered, wanting Li Qinghe to see his own bright and alert demeanor.

By then, without even him speaking, she would realize just how subpar her new bodyguard was!

"Hmm…"

Hearing Wang Zhennan's greeting, Li Qinghe responded with a nonchalant hum and yawned, then she walked past him.

"…"

This attitude—it's like she's treating me as if I'm invisible.

Sensing Li Qinghe passing him by and heading toward the elevator, Wang Zhennan became anxious.

"Miss Li…"

He immediately followed her, intending to steer the conversation towards Xu Fan.

"Don't disturb me, I'm not in a good mood."

But before he could even utter four words, Li Qinghe cut him off.

"Hmm…"

Reluctantly humming, Wang Zhennan dejectedly followed behind Li Qinghe.

Looking at Xu Fan beside him, he thought that this fellow was just too lucky!

If Miss Li hadn't been in a bad mood today, wouldn't he have been fired?

…

Soon, the group made their way downstairs.

Upon reaching the underground parking lot, Li Qinghe spontaneously turned to look at Xu Fan.

Seeing him yawn, she almost couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This guy…

It was her own fault, really. If she hadn't insisted on taking him out to have fun last night, he wouldn't be so out of it.

"Brother Wang, you and the others, just follow behind," she commanded Wang Zhennan and the other bodyguards, then turning to Xu Fan, she chided, "Wake up! Look at you, like a lazy pig! Keep this up, and I might actually fire you!"

Wang Zhennan, sulking as he walked toward the car in the back, overheard and couldn't help but stop in his tracks, tears of excitement streaming down his face!

That's great! Miss Li has finally realized it!

Immediately, his gaze towards Xu Fan was no longer one of envy.

Wang Zhennan hummed triumphantly, gleefully thinking to himself that this fellow must be in a state of panic now, worried about losing this hard-earned good job, right?
