”Come on dear. I need to go out for a while. Please! You can ask me anything in return. You will just keep Neo company for a while. If he decides to go home then fine but accompany him till he does.” Qian said as he pleadingly held my hand in his.

”Why not just tell him to go home and rest? He must be a very busy guy so going home after eating dinner with us is also fine. Besides he is your visitor, not mine. You should be responsible for entertaining your guest's brother dear.” I said to him.

”I know but there is an emergency and I can't just leave my life savior alone and unattended,” Qian said.

”Mr. Yan can take care of him.” I coldly said to him.

”It is different if a young beautiful maiden like you will accompany him,” he said without batting an eye.

”Are you selling a girl or something? How can you treat your beautiful and innocent little sister like a host in a brothel?” I angrily glared at him.

***moments later***

Cold night air coupled with a starry night sky above. The air is filled with the sweet scent coming from the rose garden and the lights are perfectly arranged to make the scenery breathtaking. This looks like a romantic scene in a romance movie but to me, it is a very dangerous scene in a thriller movie. I am now sitting two feet away from Neo in our back garden after my older brother successfully bribed me with ancient artifacts from across the world. How can I say no to those priceless treasures?

Accompanying Neo in exchange for such precious items is a pretty good deal. I can deal with the devil as long as he does not use underhanded means like for example blackmailing the beautiful and innocent me. He better leave soon while I am still in a good mood. Unfortunately, he is nowhere near my expectation because right now he is standing in front of me and is looking down at me intently.

I frowned at his actions. What does he want now? Is he challenging me or something? ”Is there anything wrong Mr. Yuan?” I asked him.

He shook his head and sat back down but now he is sitting right beside me on the long bench. A crease formed on top of my forehead as I stayed still. I don't want to make anybody contact with him so I decided not to protest and just to stay stiff like a tree so that I don't accidentally brush my delicate body with his dangerous sexy and appealing - them nevermind.

”Do you think I'm a good guy Ms. Tan?” a cold indifferent voice said which made me shiver in shock. I was surprised that he actually started the conversation with me. I thought that he would stay quiet until he leaves and what is with this weird question? Is he testing me? Is this one of those psychological questions?
