Chapter 16: Saving You and a Few People’s Dark Tide…

There are undercurrents among the few people.

The people around started chattering quietly.

"Xia Yiqing is so brave that she dares to look directly into Wang Shao's eyes."

"After all, you're the heir to the Xia Group. You should have some courage, right?"

Someone else rolled their eyes and gossiped, "Hey, you guys, after Xia Yiqing was sold to Third Master by the Xia family three years ago, she's hardly been seen in public anymore. Could it be that Third Master really has feelings for her? Will he come to save her tonight?"

这些人不知道，秦绯在旁边的包厢，简直要把三爷揍一顿，说把他的恋爱脑打好。

"Your illness wasn't a serious matter to begin with. Why didn't you just stay in the hospital and get surgery to cure it? It's now been delayed to this point."

Luo Miao interrupted, "Doctor Qin, if President Qi goes to the hospital now, will the situation be better?"

"Oh," Qin Fei rolled her eyes slightly when Qi Hanmu couldn't see her. "He's willing to go..."

The only response he got was the man's dark eyes that slowly moved towards him. They seemed to be filled with frost and snow, without any warmth in them.

"Okay," Qin Fei touched her nose, feeling a little sad and understanding. "Your Third Master finally got a chance to stay with his sweetheart, so he wants to perform well and doesn't want to waste time in the hospital. I'm really impressed. What kind of love-brained Third Master is this? Even TV dramas don't dare to play it like this..."

Qi Hanmu's long eyelashes drooped, hiding a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

Perhaps he could also use this dilapidated body to keep the little girl.

Qi Hanmu curled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery. Forget it, the girl is still young and should not be dragged down by him.

As long as I am by her side until she finally closes her eyes, that is enough.

Of course, a dark light flashed across Qi Hanmu's eyes. When he left, all the inheritance would be given to her, and it would be none of his business who she looked for.

However, as long as he lives, the little girl cannot be with anyone else.

Otherwise, he couldn't bear it.

The hand receiving the infusion was cold, so Qin Fei asked Luo Miao to find something to warm her hand, and then sat down next to Qi Hanmu.

"Third Master, are you worried about the success rate of the operation?"

Qi Hanmu didn't raise his eyes, but his long eyelashes moved slightly, which was considered as his agreement.

Qin Fei couldn't help but sigh, "The success rate is indeed not high, but if you don't do this operation, once the disease occurs, it will be extremely dangerous. If you do the operation later, the success rate will be even lower. The only option is..."

As he spoke, Qin Fei felt a little reluctant.

He raised his hand to pat Qi Hanmu's shoulder, but accidentally saw the man's empty earlobes.

When I turned around again, I saw two hearing aids with a faint glow lying on the table.

Qin Fei: ...

It turns out all my worries were in vain, right?

Qin Fei sighed lightly when she thought of something. In fact, it was not easy for the Third Master either. Perhaps he did not want to accept the girl who left him early, so he acted like this.

But it is also amazing that Mr. Qi, who kills people without blinking an eye in the business world, actually has a soft spot that people care about.

What’s even more amazing is that this weak spot thinks it’s not soft enough.

Xia Yiqing sneezed for no reason. Oh no, is someone saying bad things about her in secret?

Wang Shao thought she was scared, so he stood in front of Xia Yiqing condescendingly, and two streams of turbid, smoky air came out of his nose.

"Who are you to dare to bully my woman?"

Although Mr. Wang is not tall and slender, he is accompanied by several bodyguards, acting like a real young master.

"What do you want to do?" Su Huanhuan slowly retreated and moved to Xia Yiqing's side, with a vigilant look in her eyes.

"I'm warning you, have you heard of the Third Master? Qingqing is related to the Third Master. The Third Master of the Qi family has connections everywhere. The whole of Jiangcheng has to listen to him. You should have heard of him, right?"

Wang Shao frowned and looked at Xia Jie.

Seeing the man shrinking back, Xia Jie curled her lips, a plan came to her mind, she cleared her throat, and then deliberately provoked him again.

"Young Master Wang, you are a figure above everyone else in Jiangcheng. The Wang Group is renowned, and everyone who sees you must yield to you. Even if Third Master Qi is truly all-powerful, so what? If he truly cared about this woman, would he let her out alone? He would definitely have to stay by her side!"

Wang Shao's eyes turned around a few times and he had a plan in his mind.

This Xia Jie was just average looking, and he was a little tired of her, but the woman in front of him was different. She had delicate skin, outstanding facial features, and an upright posture. Just standing there made people dizzy and their lips and tongues dry.

"My little beauty, you are Jiejie's cousin, right? Sister, although you have a bad temper, you are really pretty," Wang Shao said, moving his two thick legs forward and reaching out to hook Xia Yiqing's chin.

"How about you, my little beauty, just obey me. That way, I won't have to deal with the Xia family. You and your cousin can serve me well together. Maybe I can even help your Xia family, huh?"

This time, Xia Jie's expression also changed.

She didn't want to have anything to do with the ugly Young Master Wang, she was just trying to keep him hanging. Why did Young Master Wang fall for Xia Yiqing now and wanted them both together?

But Xia Yiqing was one step ahead of her, spat at the so-called Young Master Wang, and dodged his outstretched claws.

"Oh, do you think the Wang Group is some formidable force? Even though the Xia family has fallen on hard times, it's not something that any group can bully. You can support them if you want, or stir up trouble if you want. The Xia family is already in such chaos that anyone can take advantage of it."

"You!" Wang Shao's hand fell empty, startled, "Don't think you can attract my attention like this. I've seen playing hard to get many times."

"If you don't understand, you can borrow a mirror from someone. If that doesn't work, try getting a new pair of eyes. It would be a shame if you can't understand at such a young age."

Wang Shao understood Xia Yiqing's meaning and was shocked and angry. "How dare you scold me?"

The bodyguard beside Wang Shao took a step forward, looking ferocious.

Su Huanhuan stood in front with a determined look in her eyes.

"Young Master Wang, you've heard of the Su Group, right? The only daughter of the Su Group rarely shows up, and you just happened to run into her today. If you're blind and let anything happen to us today, the Su Group will definitely not let you go!"

"Su's," Wang Shao's eyes dodged several times, and he hesitated. "The Su's, the most prominent family in Jiangcheng?"

"Exactly!"

Xia Jie was about to run away, but seeing Wang Shao's anger, she took advantage of him and deliberately took Wang Shao's arm, "Wang Shao, you are not afraid of them, are you? They are just a few women, what is there to be afraid of?

It's okay if they slap me in the face, but if they reject Master Wang, that's a slap in your face. How can I tolerate that so easily? Master Wang, what do you think? Isn't that right?"

These words were obviously meant to add fuel to the fire, and Wang Shao became even angrier.

"I don't care whether you are from the Su or Xia family, if you dare to slap me in the face, just try it!" Wang Shao felt that his face was in danger, so he raised his hand and was ready to slap them.

The slap must have been given with great force, and when it was raised, it created a gust of wind, bringing a slight chill to the stuffy box because the air conditioner was on full blast.

Xia Yiqing was quite agile and was required to do physical training frequently in Yiyuan, so she dodged the attack easily. She pulled Su Huanhuan to dodge his attack.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to twist his wrist and use Wang Shao to control the bodyguards, he heard someone shout, "Stop."

Wang Shaoyuan was startled and turned around curiously, only to find that it was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Seeing the man's face clearly, Wang Shao's face turned into fear, "Shen, Mr. Shen..."

At the same time, Su Huanhuan's face turned pale, and she took several steps back almost uncontrollably.

The person who came was Su Huanhuan's fiancé, Chen Tan——

He was also the marriage partner she ran away from deliberately to avoid because she was dissatisfied with the family arrangement.

Wang Shao was regretting his decision to the point of his intestines turning green. They couldn't afford to offend Chen Tan. The Shen family was one of the top wealthy families in Jiangcheng. Apart from Third Master Qi, they probably didn't need to take anyone else seriously.

"Young Master Wang is really full of energy. Instead of worrying about the company's affairs, he is bullying two women here. It seems that you are very happy with the project that Shen Corporation recently gave you. Otherwise, you wouldn't bully my fiancée." Chen Tan walked slowly closer, and a sharp flash flashed in his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. He stretched out his hand to put on Su Huanhuan's shoulder, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked comfortable, but there was an air of dignity that made people unable to disobey.

"In that case, go back and inform your father that we no longer need to cooperate on that project."

Hearing this, Wang Shao's face turned pale and he quickly lowered his head, "Boss Shen, Boss Shen, please think about it again. It's my fault..."

But Chen Tan didn't even look at him. He just stared at Su Huanhuan with heavy eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go." Xia Yiqing saw him rubbing Su Huanhuan's earlobe with his fingertips, "Huan, Huan."

"I don't want it!" Su Huanhuan struggled hard.

Xia Yiqing stood by and shouted coldly, "Let her go!"

Chen Tan seemed to have just seen her, his eyes slowly turned towards Xia Yiqing, the scarlet in his eyes slowly faded away, making people shiver.

Xia Yiqing frowned and saw that Su Huanhuan looked like she was about to cry, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She intuitively felt that something was going on between them.

"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to interfere in our affairs?" Chen Tan held Su Huanhuan tightly with both hands, looking down at her, with the corners of his mouth turned down, as if he was protecting his property from being invaded.

"She is my fiancée. She ran away because of a conflict with her family. And you, the Xia family, broke her heart three years ago. Now you have no right to interfere in her affairs."

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Huanhuan's eyes.

Three years ago, she and Chen Tan had clearly never met, and Chen Tan was still a cold and aloof Buddhist in Jiangcheng. Why could he now easily tell her what happened three years ago?

"Let's go." Chen Tan breathed heavily, tightened his arms, and tried to take Su Huanhuan away by force.

Xia Yiqing originally wanted to step forward, but Su Huanhuan bit her lip, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, and waved at her, "Qingqing, don't come over. I don't want to implicate you. He is indeed my fiancé and will not hurt me. Qingqing, I'm sorry, I have to go back first."

Seeing Su Huanhuan's eyes as red as a little rabbit, Xia Yiqing felt extremely uncomfortable.

She saw the shadow of herself being forcibly taken away by Qi Hanmu last night on Su Huanhuan.

At this moment, a figure at the corner passed by Xia Yiqing's sight.

In the darkness, only a ray of light shone through, and the diamond cuff that she had given to Qi Hanmu was sparkling and glittering with fire.

It’s Qi Hanmu!

"Huanhuan, wait a moment," Xia Yiqing almost ran over, "I'll ask the Third Master to save you."

Su Huanhuan's voice came from behind, "Qingqing..." She didn't want Xia Yiqing to be humble for her.

Xia Yiqing grabbed the man's sleeve, but heard a cold "let go".
