Qiao Ruoxi could not be bothered to waste her breath on someone like Bao Juhua. She went to get a cleaning tool to wipe the glass.

There were floor-to-ceiling glass windows on both sides of Di Ruiling’s store. Qiao Ruoxi stepped on the triangular ladder and reached out to clean the glass.

Perhaps it was because the ground was a little uneven, but the ladder shook a few times when she climbed up.

Thinking of the baby in her belly, Qiao Ruoxi tried her best to stabilize her body, but she lost her balance and fell to the side.

“Ah…”

Qiao Ruoxi screamed and fell down the ladder.

She thought that she would definitely fall hard today, but she did not expect her body to be caught by a big hand.

Qiao Ruoxi was so scared that she closed her eyes. But when she felt that she did not fall and was instead as if she was being hugged, she opened her eyes.

Her eyes widened when she saw a handsome face.

The man had well-defined facial features and a pair of pretty eyes. His eyes were as black as obsidian, shining brightly.

It looked deep and gentle, like a pool of light that could suck people in.

Qiao Ruoxi quickly struggled to get up and thanked him. “Thank you, thank you, sir. If it weren’t for you, I might have fallen down.”

The man suddenly laughed and said half-jokingly, “Really? You have to be sincere in thanking me. How about treating me to a meal?”

“Uh… I don’t think that’s a good idea!”

Qiao Ruoxi was a little embarrassed. She thought that the other party would say that it was nothing and that there was no need to thank him, but she did not expect him to ask for her treat.

She thought that the man must be joking with her.

Seeing her embarrassed look, the man said with interest, “How about I treat you to a meal?”

Qiao Ruoxi couldn’t help but size him up again.

He was wearing a maroon handmade suit with expensive gemstone cufflinks on the sleeves. But from the way he was dressed, she could tell that he must be a rich and tasteful man.

There was a hint of laziness in the man’s aura and he was giving off the vibes of a refreshing spring breeze.

But the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was the kind of playboy who liked to flirt with all kinds of women.

That was most likely the case.

Qiao Ruoxi decisively shook her head and declined, “No need, I don’t deserve it. Thank you for your kind intentions.”

After saying that, she picked up the rag on the ground and turned to continue working. However, she heard the man behind her say, “Qiao Ruoxi.”

Qiao Ruoxi turned around in shock when she heard the man calling her name.

How did he know her name?

Qiao Ruoxi lowered her head and looked at the badge on her chest. Oh, she understood. He should have seen her name.

The man’s smile widened. His smile was warm and heartwarming. He explained lightly, “Did you save a woman with a scar on her face in the lobby of Huangtu Hotel yesterday?”

“How did you know?” Qiao Ruoxi asked, tilting her head in surprise.

“That’s my mother. You saved her. Shouldn’t I treat you to a meal?”

The man put a hand in his pocket and said leisurely.

“She’s your mother? What a coincidence!”

It was too surprising.

Qiao Ruoxi realized that the man was not a playboy. He had come to thank the woman.

“Yeah, what a coincidence.” The man smiled handsomely. Since he had already explained his identity and purpose for coming, he said before leaving, “Then it’s settled. We’ll meet at Tiffany’s at 7 PM tonight.”

“Sir, your kindness…”

Qiao Ruoxi wanted to stop him and tell him that there was no need to treat her to a meal. She appreciated his kindness.

The man turned around and raised his handsome eyebrows. “Do you need my mother to personally invite you?”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”
