Chen Feng felt somewhat unhappy, thinking that his good intentions had been taken for granted.

Originally, he had planned to send Qin Xiaorou back home or call a taxi for her if she came out alone.

After all, it was late at night, and he was really worried about a 15- or 16-year-old girl being out alone. However, Qin Xiaorou turned her back on him and ran away.

Chen Feng sighed and turned to walk towards where he had parked his car.

He had just walked a short distance when he heard a shout behind him: "Uncle, Uncle, wait!"

Chen Feng turned around in surprise and saw Qin Xiaorou running towards him, slightly out of breath.

"Why did you just leave? What do you mean by that?"

Qin Xiaorou ran up to him, breathing heavily and glaring at him with dissatisfaction, which left him stunned.

"Here!"

Qin Xiaorou took a bottle of drink from the plastic bag containing five dolls and thrust it into Chen Feng's hand.

Chen Feng finally reacted and asked, "Did you go to buy a drink just now?"

"Or what?" Qin Xiaorou glared at Chen Feng, "You didn't think I ran away, did you?"

"Uh, this, ha ha, of course not." Chen Feng felt a bit embarrassed. He had clearly misunderstood and wronged her. Indeed, although this girl had no manners, her nature wasn't bad.

"Why did you leave without a word?" Qin Xiaorou persisted.

Chen Feng, being a grown man, naturally replied, "My car is parked over there. I thought I'd drive over and wait for you on the side of the road."

"Oh, you drove here. It's not an electric scooter, is it?"

Qin Xiaorou said with a hint of disdain.

Sure enough, she was a wild girl with no manners. Before yesterday, he didn't even have an electric scooter, let alone a car.

Fortunately, he now really had a car, or he would have been embarrassed.

"It's a car, with four wheels," Chen Feng emphasized.

"Cars obviously have four wheels. Do you think they have two?" Qin Xiaorou deliberately argued.

"Alright. Do you want me to take you home? If you're not comfortable, I can call a taxi for you."

This wild girl was really a headache. Chen Feng didn't want to argue with her.

Qin Xiaorou directly refused, "It's only ten o'clock, still early. I don't want to go home now."

Chen Feng frowned, "It's so late. Your family won't worry about you being out alone?"

Qin Xiaorou said coldly, "I don't have a family."

Chen Feng was taken aback, looked her up and down, and shook his head, "You're lying. The clothes you're wearing cost at least a thousand, and your shoes are a brand name, also costing a thousand. Are you an orphan?"

Qin Xiaorou continued to argue, "Who said I'm an orphan?"

Chen Feng was annoyed, "Didn't you just say you don't have a family?"

"Doesn't having no family mean being an orphan?" Qin Xiaorou asked.

"Isn't that the case?" Chen Feng glared.

Qin Xiaorou said seriously, "When I say I don't have a family, I mean no one is at home tonight. Got it?"

Her ability to justify herself was unparalleled.

Chen Feng couldn't help but hold his forehead and said helplessly, "Alright, whatever you say."

With that, he turned and walked away. He didn't want to continue dealing with this brat's temper.

"Hey, wait for me."

Qin Xiaorou, carrying the large plastic bag, hurriedly followed him.

Chen Feng wanted to ignore her, but thinking about her safety as a girl at this late hour, and seeing the drink in his hand, he sighed and stopped.

"Uncle, don't be in such a hurry. Have a drink first. We played in the arcade for so long, didn't you get thirsty?"

As she spoke, she also took out a bottle of drink, opened it, and drank it down.

Seeing this, Chen Feng didn't hesitate. He was indeed thirsty, opened the drink in his hand, and drank half of it in one go, then burped, feeling very comfortable.

"This drink is good," Chen Feng commented casually, looking at the bottle: Yuan Chang functional drink, which he had never tried before.

"Isn't it? I love this drink. There's even a chance to win a prize. I won 200 yuan last time."

Qin Xiaorou, as she spoke, picked up the bottle cap, turned it over, and said with some regret, "I didn't win. Let me see yours."

Chen Feng handed the bottle cap to her. Qin Xiaorou turned it over and immediately widened her eyes, then exclaimed in surprise, "You won! A big prize, a Da Jing TV."

What luck!

Chen Feng felt somewhat numb. He didn't even want to win a prize himself, but to have someone else win it for him. This was truly unavoidable for Chen Feng.

"Uncle, you won a TV, worth several thousand. Aren't you excited?"

Qin Xiaorou, seeing Chen Feng's calm expression, asked with some confusion.

"I already have a TV at home. I'll give it to you," Chen Feng said indifferently.

Qin Xiaorou, after a moment of shock, lowered her voice and said shyly, "Uncle, why are you so nice to me? Giving me so many game coins is one thing, but now a big prize? You... you're not interested in me, are you? I'm still young."

Oh my!

Chen Feng couldn't help but rub her head vigorously, turning her hair into a mess again.

Qin Xiaorou yelled again, "I warn you, if you do this again, I'll be really angry. Do you know that this is considered disfiguring someone, which is a crime?"

Seeing that the wild girl was really angry, Chen Feng had to wave his hands, "Alright, alright. It's my fault. But what you said just now, you're still a minor. I also have a... wife. Don't talk nonsense, got it? I gave you the game coins because I really didn't want to play video games anymore. Now, I'm giving you this big prize because I don't need the TV. Besides, you bought the drink for me, so can I keep it?"

"Sure. This bottle of drink is yours now. I also have a TV at home. Besides, I'm still a minor and can't claim the prize alone. It's better if you claim it."

"Alright, alright." Chen Feng didn't want to argue with her anymore, put away the bottle cap, and drank the rest of the drink in a few gulps.

"Let's go. I'll take you home."

"Really going home so early? Not playing a bit more?"

Chen Feng said irritably, "It's almost eleven. Is that early? Don't you have school tomorrow?"

"Really. You adults are all the same, always controlling this and that."

Chen Feng didn't say anything more, led the way, and soon reached his Buick car.

"A new car, but it's a bit low-end, looks cheap."

This girl really had a sharp tongue.

Chen Feng walked to the driver's side and said to her, "Do you want me to take you home? If not, I'll go."

"Yes! Of course yes!"

Qin Xiaorou quickly opened the passenger door and got in.

Chen Feng also got into the driver's seat, started the car, and asked, "Where do you live?"

"Do you know Jinxiu Road? Just take me there."

"Jinxiu Road is long, at least five or six kilometers. No specific address?"

"Alright, Zhuangyuan Xuefu."

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised when he heard this, turned his head, and looked at her in surprise, "I didn't realize your family is quite wealthy."

Qin Xiaorou pouted, "What's the use of being rich?"

Chen Feng could only chuckle.

Zhuangyuan Xuefu was a well-known residential area, one of the top high-end residential areas in Xiuzhou City, with a price of over 80,000 per square meter.

Just the name of the neighborhood suggests it's a school district, with top-ranked kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools, and even universities in the province.
