Chapter 14: Chapter 0014: Catching the Right Eye
```
Qin Yu was slightly stunned; he indeed used to be a special forces soldier, but he had already retired.
Just as Qin Yu didn't know how to respond, Liu Tian laughed and said, "My brother Yu isn't just any special forces soldier, he's an instructor of the special forces! Put it this way: in all of Huaxia, there aren't more than a handful of people whose individual combat ability surpasses Brother Yu's."
"Oh? Really?" Shen Qian looked at Qin Yu with a scrutinizing gaze.
"To be exact, there are no more than three people in the military system whose individual combat abilities surpass mine, and those three are all very formidable old-timers."
Qin Yu counted on his fingers and said with certainty after calculating.
Shen Qian's eyes lit up; as the HR manager at Qingcheng Model Agency, she had seen countless people.
From Qin Yu's confident and composed gaze, Shen Qian was convinced that he was telling the complete truth, without any exaggeration.
She didn't know why, but suddenly, the many layers of defense around Shen Qian's heart opened up, and she was infected by the confidence Qin Yu exuded, gazing at him dumbfounded.
Liu Xi noticed the change in Shen Qian and turned her head towards her older brother.
"Ah! I suddenly remembered, our second uncle is coming back to Luo City today, and dad asked us to pick him up! Brother Yu, Sister Qian, please continue eating, we'll be leaving first!"
Qin Yu nodded slightly, Shen Qian lowered her head, a blush emerging on her pretty face, and she did not object.
Even if Liu Tian was slow to catch on, he understood that the two of them must have taken a liking to each other.
Liu Tian slapped his forehead.
"Right, I'm so thankful to Xiao Xi for reminding me, I almost messed up a big deal, Brother Yu, you have to seize this opportunity!"
Amid the ambiguous glances from Liu Tian and Liu Xi, Shen Qian felt her little heart thumping wildly; for the first time, she experienced the feeling of her heart racing!
She didn't even realize when Qin Yu had moved to sit opposite her.
When Shen Qian came back to her senses, Qin Yu had already cut his steak and pushed it in front of her.
Seeing the slightly astonished look on Shen Qian's face, Qin Yu smiled and said, "An apology must show some sincerity, right? Consider this steak my gesture of goodwill."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin," Shen Qian said with a beaming smile, feeling more and more fond of the man in front of her.
"It's my honor to be of service to Miss Shen," he replied.
With that smile of Shen Qian's, Qin Yu felt as if his soul was almost hooked away.
Goodness, he couldn't take it anymore.
How could there be such a seductively charming woman in this world?
What's more valuable is that, despite being seductive, the vibe around Shen Qian was very pure; Qin Yu was certain, absolutely certain, that she was still a virgin!
The meal was enjoyed with much delight, and they chatted about everything under the sun. Over the years, Qin Yu had visited many places while on missions, and his broad knowledge elicited giggles from Shen Qian now and then.
Countless envious men around drooled over the scene, wishing they could be sitting opposite Shen Qian instead.
A man who had just entered the Western restaurant was attracted by Shen Qian's laughter and subconsciously looked over. This one glance was significant, and his face turned very ugly.
He quickly made a phone call, and it was soon answered with a sinister voice.
"Fourth Brother, what is it?"
"Big Brother, I've seen Sister-in-law! She's having dinner with a man! Sister-in-law seems very happy."
"Where?"
"Wellington Western Restaurant, table seven."
"Keep an eye on them, I'm on my way."
"Yes."
Qin Yu and Shen Qian were chatting so amiably that they didn't notice someone occasionally glancing at them.
```
Doodoo... Shen Qian's phone rang, and she showed an apologetic expression to Qin Yu before pulling out her phone, her face turning very ugly.
Without thinking, Shen Qian hung up the call, but the ringtone stubbornly rang again.
After hanging up five or six times, the person on the other end of the line persisted in calling again, and Shen Qian answered the phone with a dark expression.
"Lin Dongqiang, how many times have I told you? We live in a new society that values matrimonial freedom. I don't recognize any arranged childhood engagements! I will absolutely not marry you," she said.
After speaking, Shen Qian angrily hung up the phone. This time the phone didn't ring again.
Qin Yu's brows twitched.
An arranged childhood engagement?
Interesting, it seemed he had a rival in love.
Qin Yu acted as though nothing had happened and started chatting with Shen Qian again.
Soon, Shen Qian's mood recovered.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.
After receiving a call from his underling, Lin Dongqiang immediately brought several of them and rushed towards the Wellington Western Restaurant without stopping.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Lin Dongqiang saw Shen Qian, who was being incessantly amused by Qin Yu, laughing happily.
Lin Dongqiang's face turned extremely unsightly. Since primary school, he had liked Shen Qian, and back then, she would often play with him.
However, starting from junior high, as Shen Qian began to develop and understood the difference between boys and girls, she played with him less and less.
It was even more so in high school.
Although Shen Qian was somewhat cold towards him, Lin Dongqiang still liked her as much as before.
In his heart, he thought, since she was betrothed to him as a child, she'd have to marry him sooner or later. All he needed to do was to stay by Shen Qian's side.
Shen Qian successfully got into Luo University, but Lin Dongqiang, who lacked academic talent, had to come to Luo City alone to struggle.
As for Lin Dongqiang, he really was quite a character. At the beginning, he mixed in the lowest levels of Luo City.
He had worked as a laborer on construction sites, washed dishes in restaurants, delivered food, and managed an internet café.
Two years passed, and the gap between Lin Dongqiang and Shen Qian had grown ever larger!
Lin Dongqiang knew he couldn't keep mixing around like this. If he continued, the gap between him and Shen Qian would only get larger and larger!
He needed a chance!
But where was this chance?
Luckily, Lin Dongqiang's luck wasn't bad, as he encountered a noble benefactor.
One day, while Lin Dongqiang was managing the internet café, a person who had been stabbed several times stumbled into the café!
The person fainted as soon as he rushed into the internet café.
Lin Dongqiang had a sharp eye for cars and immediately recognized that the person had Bentley car keys hanging on his waistband. Sensing an opportunity, Lin Dongqiang quickly grabbed it!
Clamping his teeth, Lin Dongqiang hid the man in the storage room, then got a mop to clean up the blood on the floor and even sprayed some disinfectant to mask the smell of blood in the air.
Since it was the middle of the night, there weren't many people in the internet café, and nobody noticed this scene.
After doing all of this, Lin Dongqiang sat at the bar as if nothing had happened.
A few minutes later, a fierce-looking man with a scar on his face came to the internet café and demanded to know if Lin Dongqiang had seen an injured person.
Lin Dongqiang naturally denied it vehemently. Scarface didn't notice anything amiss and walked away disgruntled.
Later, Lin Dongqiang found out that the person he saved was the second master of the Qu Family, one of the four great families of Luo City. At present, Lin Dongqiang was the manager of the Qu Family's security company.
