Chapter 20: I've never heard of this...

Having never heard of such a method of repaying a favor, Xia Yiqing immediately frowned, feeling that something was not right.

However, the man in front of her was a thousand-year-old fox, so how could he not see the concerns in her heart?

Seeing her teeth about to bite her inner lip again, the man quickly held the girl's chin and gently stroked it.

"If you don't want to, forget it." His voice was low, and he unintentionally revealed a grievance.

Xia Yiqing's heartstrings moved slightly, and her long eyelashes raised, and she saw the man's lonely eyebrows.

She felt a little guilty again, and when she lowered her head, she saw the needle hole on the back of the man's hand that was still bleeding.

Xia Yiqing's pupils shrank slightly. "Your hand is still bleeding."

"So Qingqing still cares about this?" the man twitched his lips, his tone inarticulate with self-mockery. "I thought I was just a tool to Qingqing, to be discarded after use."

The light hit the man's bloodless lips without reservation. Seeing the dark circles under his eyes and the sickly pale cheeks, Xia Yiqing inexplicably felt a little short of breath and turned her head away.

"Xia Yiqing, you just throw it away after using it. Now you start to dislike me?"

There was clearly no ups and downs in this sentence, but Xia Yiqing felt her breath catch inexplicably.

Sure enough, there is no escape.

But that's normal, no one can get whatever they want.

We are all adults, and if we ask someone to do something for us, we have to pay a price.

"Thank you for your hard work, Third Master," Xia Yiqing took a deep breath and put on a smile, but in the man's eyes, this smile was uglier than crying.

"I wonder what kind of reward Third Master wants? If you can afford it, I won't refuse."

The official tone made Qi Hanmu's breathing tremble.

He slowly loosened his grip on the girl's hand, but his breathing became heavier and heavier, until it almost sounded like an old broken bellows struggling to work.

Before Xia Yiqing could react, Qin Fei took out the asthma medicine before her, lifted Qi Hanmu's chin and gave it to him.

Qi Hanmu remained calm throughout the whole process.

Maybe because he has used it so many times, he can finish the medicine safely without anyone telling him.

But from beginning to end, his eyes never opened.

Only its long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if it was hit by the rain and a butterfly that was unable to move forward was forced to fall to the ground and quietly wait for the opportunity.

"Are you... feeling better?"

Xia Yiqing really didn't know what to say, so she could only find a sentence that would not go wrong.

"He's fine. If you could pay more attention to him, he would be even better."

Qin Fei was packing her medicine box and said coldly when she heard this.

He and Qi Hanmu grew up together, and because of Qi Hanmu's kindness in giving him a new life, he had long regarded Qi Hanmu's illness as a knot in his heart.

It was obvious that this man's health was not so bad before, but after seeing Xia Yiqing, everything became out of control.

Heart disease is most afraid of extreme joy and sorrow. Unfortunately, ever since Qi Hanmu met Xia Yiqing, his emotions have always fluctuated.

It would be strange if he could get better if he is so disturbed.

"Qin Fei," Qin Fei had just finished speaking when a cold reprimand came from the other side. The man's eyes were slightly closed, his hands covering his heart. His appearance was absolutely stunning, and his aura was unquestionable.

"Apologize."

Qin Fei lowered her head and closed the medicine box. "Madam, I'm sorry for my words."

Xia Yiqing always felt that Qin Fei was inexplicably targeting her.

After thinking about it, she understood the key.

Qin Fei is Qi Hanmu's friend. It must be really hard for him to see Qi Hanmu being humiliated by her.

Perhaps, he felt that she made Qi Hanmu suffer a loss at the hands of a woman he didn't love, and that was very uncomfortable.

Xia Yiqing herself didn't believe this statement.

After all, if he didn't love her, why would Qi Hanmu stand up for her?

But Xia Yiqing's breathing became heavier.

She was still full of worries.

The first thing that came to mind was Qi Hanmu’s words “I never gave her a name”.

Perhaps, he really does have feelings for her.

But she couldn't afford to gamble.

Because sincerity is the most precious thing, but at the same time, it changes rapidly.

Pursing her lips, Xia Yiqing took two deep breaths, and as if determined, she leaned over and kissed the man on the forehead.

It was as if Nuwa created the world, or as if the universe gave birth to a new star. Qi Hanmu's phoenix eyes, which were always narrowed, opened a little, rarely showing any surprise.

He slowly looked into the girl's eyes, trying to find a trace of pity or other emotions in them.

However, perhaps it was because he was in the game, or perhaps it was because Xia Yiqing hid too deeply. When Qi Hanmu looked over, he felt that those deer-like eyes were extremely innocent, rippling with the brightest spring water in the world, and as deep as the sea, as if they could tolerate all sins.

"Third Master," the girl took the initiative to put her hand on the man's shoulder, a flicker of determination in her eyes. Her hands, which had been raised for three years, were white and tender, and she had never done heavy work. At this moment, she was clumsily approaching the elegant suit and shirt, unbuttoning it.

"Thank you for helping me this time. I don't have anything else to ask for. You probably don't care about Xia's shares. Otherwise, we..."

It was as if a huge rock was blocking his heart. Qi Hanmu frowned slightly and turned his head away in embarrassment, not wanting to look into those extremely sincere eyes.

He rubbed his chest with his left hand, and cyanosis gradually appeared on his lips.

And like a mountain standing tall in the wind and rain, Qi Hanmu's voice remained steady, "Speak properly."

If the little girl keeps distancing herself from him like this, he might really not be able to bear it.

Xia Yiqing was stunned.

Did he think her words were bad, or did he not want the result she said?

The inexplicable sense of loss swept over Xia Yiqing like a tornado. She slowly withdrew her hands from the cold body of Mr. Qi San, and slowly buttoned his shirt one by one.

"I'm not dirty." The girl lowered her eyes, twisting the corners of her clothes with her small hands, and a flash of uneasiness passed through her eyes.

She thought for a moment and added, "Last time, it was my first time."

Qi Hanmu felt like he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.

His slender fingertips rested on the girl's shoulders, his breathing was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and the blue veins wandering under her fair skin added a sense of suppressed violence.

But at this moment, deep sadness flashed across Qi Hanmu's eyes, which were always cold.

Because of the loss of control last time.

So, in the eyes of the little girl, he became an object that needed to be sold out in order to be traded.

However, maybe he is really willful.

Other sponsors would not ask for love when they bring canaries back.

It's just for fun.

"Xia Yiqing, look at me. I apologize to you for what happened last night, but why do you have to leave?" The man slowly raised his eyes and looked at the direction where Xia Yiqing was. There was forbearance in his brows, as if questioning, but also as if begging.

"Do you have feelings for me..." or not?

It seemed as if something was stuck between her eyebrows, and Xia Yiqing couldn't relax her brows.

Seeing the faint light in Qi Hanmu's eyes, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if there was a piece of iron called "Qi Hanmu" hanging on the hook called "worry" in her heart, and her heart was being dragged down.

The atmosphere between the two was so tense that Qin Fei and Luo Miao stood by, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

They looked at each other and saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

They are just workers, why should they be treated so badly?

Also, seeing Mr. Qi Sanye’s emotionally frustrated look, could they still survive?

“Dongdongdong——”

At this moment there was a knock on the door.

Xia Yiqing was wondering who it was when she heard a voice from outside, "Sister, are you still there? Can I come in?" Her face turned pale.

Who can explain to her why the male model that Su Huanhuan ordered appears outside now?

The man next to her is at a breaking point on the verge of exploding.

He leaned close to her ear, his hot breath numbing her earlobe, and asked casually, "Sister?"

Xia Yiqing shuddered all over.

Please forgive her, she really can't bear Mr. Qi Sanye calling her "sister".

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."

Before Xia Yiqing finished explaining, she heard a voice from outside, "Sister, I'm coming in."

"Don't... Ugh!"

Her earlobes suddenly felt hot and wet. Xia Yiqing glared angrily at the person who started the incident, but she saw a look of satisfaction rising in the man's eyes. It was very subtle, hidden in the calm and dark bottom of his eyes. If she was not close to him, Xia Yiqing would definitely not be able to see it.

She was startled and thought of that night for no reason.

It was also a calm face, but no matter how much she cried, there was no sign of fluctuation in her eyes.

Xia Yiqing's breath was caught.

Qi Hanmu was probably in a bad mood.

And she and the little male model happened to run into each other.

“Squeak—”

The door opened.

Originally, only half of the lights were on inside.

Perhaps in pursuit of atmosphere, a hand reached in stealthily and turned off the lights inside with a "click".

The bodyguards in the four corners were about to take action, and Qin Fei quickly gave them a look.

They turned a blind eye and took two steps at a time. Just as they were about to reach the door, they saw their third master give them a look that was full of warning.

The bodyguard captain immediately pressed his hand down, signaling to retreat.

While Qin Fei was feeling proud, he was also waiting to see the show.

I wonder what the Third Master would think if the young lady secretly ordered a male model and he even came to her house.

I guess he would be so jealous that he would want to destroy the world.

Thinking of this, Qin Fei silently counted the various supplies in his medicine box.

I hope Mr. San won’t get sick from anger again, otherwise it will harm his body and his personal doctor.

As the lights slowly dimmed, the box fell into silence.

Only the screen used for singing was still flashing, silently changing the content on it.

Being held tightly in Qi Hanmu's arms, Xia Yiqing broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

She secretly cursed the young male model in her heart for being so persistent. She had clearly rejected him before, so why did he come again this time?

If Qi Hanmu saw this, Xia Yiqing would silently glance at the man and then turn her head away.

That little male model will probably be skinned alive if he doesn't die.

"Sister~"

A voice so disgusting that it filled the air with wavy lines was heard.

Xia Yiqing suddenly got goosebumps all over her body.

The man was right next to her. She lowered her head, not daring to respond. She just grabbed the outside of her forearm and rubbed it hard.

Feeling the person in his arms' resistance to that voice, Qi Hanmu's inky eyes finally relaxed a little.

Love for a person may be fake, but dislike is real.

Even if it is not expressed in words, it can be expressed through other body reactions.

For example, the little girl would rather rub her goose bumps away than look at the male model.

Of course, there is also the possibility that she was deliberately avoiding suspicion in front of him.

Thinking of this, Qi Hanmu's eyes darkened a little.

When a figure staggered but still ran towards the sofa accurately, Qi Hanmu's Adam's apple moved slightly.

This person is really scheming.

Unfortunately, I met him.

Seeing that figure about to pounce on the sofa, the man's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his voice was low, "Sister, didn't you say that you only wanted me to serve you tonight?"
