Chapter 396: To the Ends of Time

stated: "Student Mu Xing, I want to ask you to plead with Mr. Fu for me."Mu Xing frowned in confusion, "What kind of favor""I owe Mr. Fu a sum of money, and he wants me to pay it within three days. I...He Chao looked at her with a faint smile and said, "It's better to handle it first and put it aside. That way, when you want to play later, you won't have to go through the trouble again."

The front desk inputs the data and asks for Shen Qiong's phone number.

He Chao skillfully reported a string of numbers.

Shen Qiong couldn't help but be stunned. Doctor He actually remembered her phone number.

In a flash, she remembered that she had blocked Dr. He's phone number. He hadn't asked about it, probably still unaware

She secretly glanced at the man, feeling conflicted in her heart about whether to quietly let him go.

After the front desk finished registering and swiped her card, she handed back her ID and bank card with both hands to He Chao.

"Mr. He, I have already processed Ms. Shen's membership application. The identity verification will be completed within three working days. If the verification is successful, a message will be sent to Ms. Shen's mobile phone."

"Mm."

He took the ID back from Shen Qiong and led her to the service center to pick up a smart electric car.

Two people got into the car. He turned on the electronic screen, selected a Chinese restaurant, activated the autonomous driving mode, and then said to Shen Qiong: "Let's have dinner first, and then go play after that."

Shen Qiong nodded, "Good."

When they set off from the villa, it was already dusk, and by then, darkness had fallen.

The entire club was ablaze with light, as bright as day.

Everything you see is a scene of luxury.

Shen Qiong looked at the bustling luxury outside the car window, secretly marveling at Fu Ge's astonishing wealth. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to He Chao.

He Chao was staring at her silently. As she turned her head, their eyes met.

Brilliant lights reflected in his dark and quiet eyes, like a spark ignited, shining brightly, burning fiercely.

He looked at her, making her heart race. It felt like someone had pressed the pause button on her heartbeat, and she could barely breathe.

She clenched her sweaty palms, struggling to avoid his gaze. "That... membership fee, I'll pay you back, but I don't have that much money right now, maybe I can pay in installments."

He stared at her quivering little mouth and smiled, "Alright, let me calculate how many installments would be most suitable."

After saying that, he really took out his phone, opened the calculator and seriously started calculating.

"Twenty million US dollars, converted to Chinese yuan, is roughly 1.31 million."

He Chaoxi's fingers flew across the virtual calculator before he put his phone down and looked at Shen Qiong, "It's calculated. We split it into 10,198 installments, paying back 109.5 yuan per month. It will be paid off in 999 years."

"Nine hundred ninety-nine"

She is only eighteen!

Have you taken on the debt of nine hundred and ninety-nine years

Terrible!

Shen Qiong calculated her allowance and the prize money she earned from various competitions, and said, "One hundred yuan a month is too little. I can pay you one hundred thousand yuan every month."

"Ten thousand is too much, one hundred and nine yuan and five cents just right. I like to take things slow, that's settled."

He settled the matter with one decisive hammer blow.

Shen Qiong frowned, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine years That wouldn't take us back to the beginning of time"

He Chao nodded slowly, his low voice tinged with a smile, "Yes, just till the end of time."

A refined countenance, with a hint of a smile playing upon the lips, was breathtakingly handsome.

Shen Qiong's heart skipped a beat.

At this time, the arrival notification sound rang.

Shen Qiong instantly came to her senses, unbuckled her seat belt and quickly got out of the car. She let out a heavy sigh of relief, finally calming down.

He Chaoyang looked at the flustered little girl and chuckled softly, getting out of the car and walking to her side. "Come in," he said.

As the two walked into the restaurant and just sat down, a woman's voice suddenly rang out: "He Chao!"

He turned to follow the sound.

The woman at the next table, Ye Chuhang, had already gotten up and was walking towards him in high heels. "Didn't you go to another province for academic exchange When did you come back"

He replied, "Noon."

"You came back without telling me, I caught you! You're paying for this meal."

Ye Chuqing pushed He Chao further into the room, sat down calmly, and glanced at Shen Qiong across from her. She asked He Chao, “Is this your relative I haven’t seen him before.”

Shen Qiong recognized her, Ye Jia's eldest Miss, Ye Chuqing.

A renowned international dancer.

The last time I was at the hospital, the person Dr. He was waiting for at the door was her.

At this moment, she was gazing at He Chao with amorous eyes, her affection for him undisguised.

Shen Qing lowered her eyes, her fingertips tapping on the edge of the table absentmindedly. She didn't hear He Chao's answer, but instead a sudden sound of a chair being pulled came from beside her.

Her gaze shifted, and she saw black pants encasing long legs. She sat beside her, and then a large hand reached over and grasped her hand that was clenching the table.

She was stunned, wanting to withdraw her hand, but the man held on tighter, bringing it to the table and gently stroking her fingertips with his fingertip.

With the other hand, he pushed the tablet computer for ordering to Ye Chuhang, “We're treating you, order whatever you like.”

Ye Chuqing withdrew her gaze from He Chao's hand and glanced at the tablet computer in front of her. She remained motionless, her eyes openly scrutinizing Shen Qiong.

The features are very delicate and she is also very pretty, but this whole fake innocent look...

How could He Chao possibly like this kind of thing

She didn't understand, and refused to accept it.

She believed she was far stronger than this fake girl.

Ye Chuqing straightened her back, years of training in dance gave her an excellent bearing, making her appear graceful and composed.

She gently pushed the tablet back to He Chao, smiling and saying, "Just order what you want. You know my taste."

He Chao ordered his food and handed the tablet to the waiter.

Ye Chuqing said again, "Oh, by the way, Uncle He came to see Grandpa a few days ago and said that Grandpa's tea leaves were good. Grandpa gave me a few cans to send to Uncle He. I happened to meet you, so we can go back together later."

He Chao held Shen Qiong's hand and patted it, "You have to go alone. I won't be going home tonight."

Ye Chuqing noticed his little movement and suddenly realized something. She tried her best to maintain a calm facade, but her heart was filled with an unspeakable sadness and bitterness.

I've never heard of He Chao talking about a relationship, how did it suddenly develop to the point of spending the night together

Since mentioning Elder Ye, He Chao also politely asked, "How is your grandfather now"

Ye Chuqing tried her best to ignore Shen Qiong's presence, her gaze fixed on He Chao. "Thanks to Mr. Fu's girlfriend, grandpa has gradually recovered. He mentioned you yesterday. When will you have time to visit grandpa"

"Well, I'll go in a few days."

He replied lightly.

And Shen Qiong, who had been staring at the ground, immediately cautiously glanced at He Chao upon hearing the phrase "Mr. Fu's girlfriend."

The man's usually warm and gentle eyes were now very faint, showing no particular emotion.

Dr. He seemed a bit unhappy.

But this was his own choice, and others had no right to interfere.

Shen Qiong silently retracted her gaze, her eyes swept over the hand holding hers, her brows furrowed. She didn't understand, Doctor He clearly liked Xiao Xingxing, why was he getting close to her

Although she likes Dr. He very much, she would never steal Little Star from him.

She needs to find an opportunity to talk to Dr. He and make things clear.ntain at a slow pace. Seeing light moving downstairs, she immediately excitedly said: "Shen Qiong, look, someone is coming!"Shen Qiong narrowed her eyes, the cluster of light moved at an extremely fas...
