Qin Yiheng snapped out of his daze upon hearing this and glanced at Su Fei. Her cheeks were swollen and red, and blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth. She looked extremely miserable.

But what does it have to do with him?

She brought this on herself!

Qin Yiheng originally wanted to stay with Gu Yilou until she recovered from her injuries before going abroad to settle accounts with her and the R organization. But she had to come to Huaguo at this time. Wasn't she just trying to make things difficult for him?

Sophie thought he would pity her, but he remained silent, so she had to speak first: "Brother Heng, thank you for saving me."

Qin Yiheng almost vomited from listening.

Don't flatter yourself, no one will save you.

"..."

Sophie's face paled. She hadn't expected that even though she was in such a miserable state, he could still be so heartless!

Sophie looked up at him, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Unfortunately, it has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever.

Qin Yiheng thought Gu Yilou's swollen ankles were prettier than her face.

Thinking of this, Qin Yiheng was startled.

He seems to associate everything with Gu Yilou now, which wasn't uncommon before, but not this frequently.

Why?

Qin Yiheng narrowed his eyes. Could it be that he lost control because of a small response?

He felt that this answer was very close to the truth.

Tsk.

Qin Yiheng had no aversion to this; on the contrary, he was quite happy about it.

"Heng-ge... I know I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?"

Sophie's voice trembled with a hint of tears.

Qin Yiheng turned and left after hearing this.

Sophie was stunned for a second, then hurriedly called out to him, "Brother Heng, please do me a favor, I really have no other choice, please."

Qin Yiheng ignored her and left.

Sophie was so angry she gritted her teeth.

But she can't stay in Huaguo now. She has to go back. She's a stranger in Huaguo and can only ask Qin Yiheng for help. Otherwise, if she falls into Ross's hands, she'll die without a burial place.

Thinking of all this, she couldn't help but cry again, her heart filled with hatred. She had never been so humiliated since she started following her godfather. Sophie was unwilling and resentful. Why should she be humiliated by a male concubine!

Sophie struggled to her feet and, enduring the pain, jogged to keep up with Qin Yiheng.

Qin Yiheng knew she had followed him, but he did not chase her away.

Sophie thought he had softened his heart, so she followed Qin Yiheng into the villa without worry.

Her men were all lying on the ground; Ross had silenced them all.

wrong!

Sophie didn't see Mike, and her eyes lit up. Had Mike run away? Would he come to save her?

Thinking of this, Sophie felt that she had a better chance of surviving.

Ross wasn't in the living room. Qin Yiheng glanced at Qin Buyan, who then went upstairs.

Qin Yiheng pointed to the single sofa and said to Su Fei, "Sit down."

Sophie burst into tears of joy.

She sat on the sofa, gazing intently at Qin Yiheng.

Qin Yiheng looked into her eyes and his soft voice slowly rang out: "Sophie, if you could let go of everything—I mean, if—have you ever thought about what kind of life you want?"

Sophie's heart tightened. What did he mean by that?

Did he want her to give up everything and stay in Huaguo with him?

Sophie couldn't help but follow his words and think about what kind of life she wanted.

She wanted...

His eyes, as deep and dark as a black hole, made Sophie fall for him without realizing it...

Gradually, Sophie's eyes became vacant.

Qin Yiheng said to her, "From now on, you don't like Qin Yiheng, but Qin Yiheng is your boss. You need to keep an eye on Ross, and no matter what happens, you must tell Qin Yiheng. Got it?"

Sophie nodded blankly.

Qin Yiheng ordered, "Repeat what I just said."

“I don’t like Qin Yiheng. Qin Yiheng is my boss. I need to keep an eye on Ross and tell Qin Yiheng whatever happens.” Sophie finished speaking and looked up at him, as if waiting for his praise.

Qin Yiheng frowned slightly and said two words: "Not bad."

Sophie laughed, a laugh more genuine than ever before.

Qin Yiheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Sophie woke up.

She didn't remember what had just happened, but seeing her boss standing while she was sitting on the sofa, she immediately stood up.

Qin Yiheng instructed her, "Go upstairs and see if Ross's injury has been treated."

"Okay." Sophie walked towards the stairwell without saying another word.

Qin Yiheng watched her figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, raised his hand to rub his temples, and after a moment, he took out his phone and glanced at it.

No news.

Qin Yiheng clicked his tongue again.

Suddenly a sound came from the stairwell. Qin Yiheng looked up and saw Ross walking down with an unhappy expression. His right ear was wrapped in gauze and he was carrying a black backpack.

Sophie's voice came through, saying, "If you won't let me examine you, it means you have something to hide."

Ross coldly warned her, "I don't know why Master Heng let you go, but if you dare to touch my things again, even if Master Heng protects you, I will kill you!"

Sophie also addressed Qin Yiheng as "Master Heng" and said disdainfully, "Master Heng would never punish me for your sake."

Ross's face was extremely grim.

He knew that when Sophie was serious about pursuing a man, she put in a lot of effort. She had money, power, and the ability to create romance, which greatly satisfied a man's vanity. Therefore, she could get almost any man she set her sights on.

He thought Qin Yiheng was different, but he never expected that he would be bewitched by this woman!

Ross walked up to Qin Yiheng and asked skeptically, "Can we still continue to cooperate?"
