Things that don't fit together

"Are you a gentleman?" Ning Sheng asked lightly.

Lu Chu Yao's face was clear and he had a faint aura of self-restraint. When he heard this, he didn't respond to the question instead he asked, "Is this not the kind of extra income I earn?"

The word 'extra income' was emphasized especially heavily.

The two of them walked to the hotel lobby and stood side by side.

From the back, they actually seem like a match. No one would think they have just met. 

Ning Sheng turned to look at him and asked a very direct question, "You're really a nightclub gigolo?"

She is a teacher. Although she is still an intern, it was her job to nurture future generations so they become the country's pillar. She felt a little guilty hanging out with a nightclub gigolo.

"My mother has passed away." Lu Chu Yao suddenly said.

Ning Sheng's eyes widened in shock, "What?"

"That's why I am agreeing. This will be my last job," Lu Chu Yao replied. In other words, he had tacitly agreed to his previous profession.

Ning Sheng nodded in agreement, "That's good. You're a handsome man. Anything will be better than this. You should consider another career. You don't want your mother in the underworld to worry too much."

As the two of them were talking, someone approached from behind.

"Be careful!" Lu Chu Yao shouted.

Ning Sheng turned around and saw someone charging at her with a knife. She subconsciously took a step back and dodged it, then kicked the knife out of the man's hand. She then stepped forward and kicked the man again, causing him to fall to the ground.

Before she could grasp what had happened, more people came in.

Was this a proper hotel? Why are there so many thugs?

Robbery?

The hotel staff at the front desk had long disappeared. There was only Ning Sheng, Lu Chu Yao who was in front of her, and the large group of men left in the large hotel lobby.

"Are these people here to find you?" Ning Sheng asked.

Her injured ankle has been acting up due to all the kicking she had just done and she was in so much pain that she was gritting her teeth.

Lu Chu Yao as always did not show any sign of emotion, it was hard to tell if he was happy or worried.

"Maybe I had accidentally offended some wealthy lady and didn't serve her well, so she came to settle the score." Lu Chu Yao said.

"It turns out that being a gigolo is a high-risk profession," Ning Sheng endured the pain and continued, "I'm only at the level of a beginner in mixed martial arts. I can't deal with this group of people. Maybe you should run away or call the police first."

In her opinion, Lu Chu Yao is just a good-looking man who would not be able to offer any sort of help in this situation. 

Lu Chu Yao was stunned when he heard this.

Did he look like the type of man that needed a woman to protect him?!

"There is no need for that. This group of people won't be able to do anything to me. Perhaps they are just here for robbery." Lu Chu Yao stated. 

Just as he finished speaking, another group of people in black suits rushed in and surrounded the thugs that were there. 

Ning Sheng thought to herself that this scene look very familiar to a gang fight and was puzzled, "What exactly is happening?"

Lu Chu Yao noticed that Ning Sheng's ankle was swollen and without saying a word, he lifted her in his arms. 

He gave instructions to one of the men in black suits before turning and leaving with Ning Sheng in his arms.

"What about those people inside?" Ning Sheng asked. 

"It has nothing to do with us. It's apparent that they're going to fight. Perhaps the hotel we chose might not be the best." Lu Chu Yao replied.

When the two of them exited the hotel, the luxury car they had just been in had been scrapped. It could not be driven at all, like a piece of scrap iron abandoned by the roadside.

"Um, you should just put me down. We're not close after all."

"I thought you need a boyfriend to help you with your family problems?" Lu Chu Yao looked at the little girl in his arms. She had a pretty face and bright eyes. Other than the red and swollen left cheek that affected her beauty, there was no doubt that this woman was beautiful.
