Chapter 291 229, Master it thoroughly!
Begonia Boxing Gym was buzzing with voices, and ticket sales alone were 40% higher than usual. A staff member recalled that the last time it was this lively was over a year ago.
That time, it was because Boxing King Afan had ranked up here and became a Land Cruise boxer overnight.
At the moment, the host was chatting with the audience on stage, serving as a warm-up segment before the match.@@novelbin@@
However, Li Changqing didn't want to listen to such trivial chatter. She shouted to someone outside: "Yue Er, go tell Begonia Boxing Gym to get this host out of here."
Li Yinuo couldn't help but smile wryly at her aunt, known for her thunderous methods: "Aunt, this is a necessary procedure. Besides, the boxers are warming up in their respective dressing rooms. If they rush to the ring now, they might get injured due to inadequate warm-up, and the match might not even be enjoyable to watch."
"Hmm," Li Changqing pondered and said, "You have a point; I hadn't considered that. Qing Xiaotu still needs to warm up. Let's wait then."
At these words, Li Yinuo suddenly felt that strange feeling she had earlier become crystal clear.
Indeed, the other party was not there to find her; they were not there just to watch the match—they were there to watch Qing Xiaotu!
Li Yinuo knew Qing Chen had a lot of 'mom fans,' but she had never imagined Li Changqing would be one of them.
Wait, Li Yinuo suddenly felt, would someone as high and mighty as her aunt truly 'fan' over someone? No.
If Li Changqing was not a fan of Qing Chen, could there be another possibility?
Li Yinuo tentatively said: "Cute and lovable?"
Li Changqing smacked her forehead: "Who are you calling cute and lovable? Speak respectfully."
"My mistake, my mistake," Li Yinuo covered her forehead. She had speculated that Qing Chen had once again won her aunt's favor through the internet, but now it didn't seem so?
Of course, she also didn't know one could have so many secret identities.
Who opens that many secret identities seriously?
Now, Li Yinuo felt even more puzzled. Both possibilities had been ruled out, so why exactly did her aunt come to Begonia Boxing Gym?
It couldn't possibly be just to watch the match.
Li Tongyun, nestled in Aunt Li Changqing's arms, suddenly asked, "Auntie, why did you suddenly come to watch the match? Are you following a particular boxer? Qing Xiaotu?"
Li Yinuo thought. Xiao Tongyun really knew how to offer a pillow to a sleeping person. As an adult, she couldn't ask such questions; it would seem too intentional, but it was fine for a child to ask.
Li Changqing smiled and said to Li Tongyun: "Auntie did indeed come because of Qing Xiaotu."
As far as Li Changqing was concerned, she was planning to keep Qing Chen around as a bodyguard; naturally, there was no need to hide it. Besides, she didn't know about Qing Chen's other identities, nor did she know that Li Tongyun and others were already familiar with him.
For a moment, the hearts of Li Tongyun, Li Yinuo, and Nan Gengchen were like a thousand layers of waves stirred up by a stone, struggling to calm down.
Everyone guessed a certain direction but dared not continue speculating...
Silence suddenly fell in the private room, and Li Changqing glanced at the three of them, casually took out her phone, and sent a message with an easy demeanor: "Little scammer, why didn't you tell me you were also into underground boxing?."
Heartthrob Scammer: "I was worried you wouldn't like such a profession."
"Like it, of course, I like it," Li Changqing replied: "If I tell you that I am now in Begonia Boxing Gym waiting to watch your match, would you be surprised?"
Heartthrob Scammer: "Certainly. The Octagon cage is like a beast that chooses its prey; everyone finds it hard to predict their fate before entering. But if you are there, I will fight for you. Tonight, I will definitely win."
Li Changqing had never heard such frank and direct words before. Previously, even if men dared to approach her, they did so tremblingly...
Somehow, Li Changqing felt a sense of freshness in her heart, as if a peach just plucked from a tree was right in front of her, fuzzy yet exceptionally tempting.
Meanwhile, Qing Chen, who was warming up in the dressing room, was still unaware of what 'he' had told Li Changqing.
He was diligently doing his pre-match warm-ups and stretches, as meticulous as a student checking their stationery before an important exam.
At all times, he was prepared to face anything and never slacked off.

Suddenly, the dressing room door opened, and Jiang Xiaotang walked in as if she owned the place.
Qing Chen stood up and put on his shirt. She chuckled: "What? Afraid your sister will see? In a moment on the ring, you'll be wearing just shorts anyway."
Qing Chen thoughtfully said: "It's different. The scene is different, and so are the requirements for dress. Now, it's just the two of us in the dressing room, and me being properly dressed is a form of respect for you, sister."
Jiang Xiaotang praised: "I was worried you might pick up bad habits here in the Fourth District, but now it seems you won't. Remember, be cautious of the men and women in the Fourth District, including me. None of us are good people."
Qing Chen was taken aback. This sister could be severe, scolding even herself.
Yet, Jiang Xiaotang continued: "I've been feeling a bit uneasy tonight, so I came specially to check on you. Are you ready?"
"Ready," Qing Chen nodded and said.
"If you want to call off tonight's match, I can cancel it for you any time," Jiang Xiaotang said.
"No need," Qing Chen shook his head.
Jiang Xiaotang thought for a moment and said: "Though once the Octagon cage closes, the match can't stop unless there's a victor, I will make an exception for you. During the match, if you give a thumbs-up with one hand, I will immediately have Ji Hao go in to rescue you. Understand?"
