Chapter 14 Xu Baiqing left contentedly...

Xu Baiqing left the corridor contentedly. She was already wearing the bracelet she had just asked for from Qian Yirong. She searched around the banquet hall for a long time before finally seeing Li Jingyan, who was leaning on the side, bored.

As she approached Li Jingyan, she thought about what had just happened in the corridor. Although she confirmed that Qian Yirong had no other feelings for Mu Zexuan, after getting the bracelet, she should find Li Jingyan to help him as soon as possible for Mu Zexuan's safety in the dressing room.

But because Qian Yirong said that she didn't want to go back to the banquet hall for the time being and wanted to go outside to get some fresh air, Xu Baiqing insisted on waiting for her to leave there before coming to the banquet hall to find Li Jingyan. This wasted some time, so Xu Baiqing sped up a bit and got closer to Li Jingyan.

"Mr. Li," Xu Baiqing said in a low voice, "Mr. Mu asked me to invite you over."

Li Jingyan frowned. He looked at the daughter that the Qian family had finally found, with suspicion in his eyes. He had never heard Mu Zexuan say anything about his relationship with her. Now she suddenly called him by the name of Mu Zexuan. Li Jingyan suspected that she had some other purpose.

But considering that even if Xu Baiqing really had something to plot, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do it himself, he finally said, "I understand. You lead the way."

Li Jingyan followed Xu Baiqing lazily, seemingly unguarded, but actually very vigilant. Xu Baiqing didn't care what Li Jingyan was thinking at all, and took Li Jingyan to the door of his own dressing room.

"Mr. Mu is inside. It's not convenient for me to go in, so I'll take my leave first." After saying this, Xu Baiqing turned around and left without hesitation.

Li Jingyan watched Xu Baiqing walk in the opposite direction of the banquet hall and was confused for a moment, but what was more important was that Mu Zexuan might be in the dressing room. He knocked on the door and heard the subtle sound of the door lock opening. He entered the dressing room with some caution.

On the other side, Xu Baiqing walked in the direction where Qian Yirong left, and found that this corridor led to the banquet hall inside and to the back garden outside. It was already dark at this time, but the back garden was filled with small lights, making the environment not dim, but rather having a special wild charm.

Xu Baiqing walked along the cobblestone path into the depths of the garden and saw Qian Yirong sitting on a garden hanging chair looking at the sky. Qian Yirong looked expressionless and very lonely, as if she would disappear at any time.

Xu Baiqing couldn't help but feel panic in her heart. She quickly came to Qian Yirong's side. The spacious garden hanging chair was more than enough for one more person to sit on, so Xu Baiqing simply sat next to Qian Yirong.

"Why did you come here so quickly?" Qian Yirong came back to her senses and asked. It was probably less than fifteen minutes from the time she went to the back garden and started to daydream to the time Xu Baiqing came over.

"If I can take Mr. Li to the door of the dressing room, I can leave with my mission accomplished. Besides, I'm not used to the atmosphere at the banquet, so don't you welcome me, sister?" Xu Baiqing said deliberately pitifully.

"Not really..." Qian Yirong has always been soft-hearted. Bullying Xu Baiqing, whom she didn't dislike in the first place, according to the contents of the book was already something Qian Yirong had to do with great courage. What's more, she actually liked Xu Baiqing quite a bit.

Compared to the kind, simple and flat heroine in the book, she appreciates people like Xu Baiqing more, who is a little fox hiding under the shell of a little white rabbit. Qian Yirong allowed Xu Baiqing to enjoy this moment of leisure with her in the back garden.

In the dressing room, Li Jingyan saw Mu Zexuan, whose whole body was red with fever, and quickly took the unconscious Mu Zexuan away secretly. It was already three o'clock in the morning when the private doctor came to treat Mu Zexuan's condition.

At this time, the Qian family's banquet had already ended. Although some harmless things happened at the banquet, after the guests left, Qian's father still couldn't help blaming Qian Yirong for being careless and actually soiling his and Xu Baiqing's dresses. Afterwards, he took her and me to the back garden and did not appear again until the end of the banquet.

Qian Yirong was annoyed when she saw her father scolding her non-stop. A fierce look flashed in her eyes, and then she interrupted him slowly, "Father, do you know why I didn't go back to the banquet hall?"

"What's going on?" Qian's father heard something bad in Qian Yirong's words and couldn't help asking,

"Of course, someone was so audacious as to drug Young Master Mu at our Qian family's banquet, and my sister and I happened to see it." Qian Yirong's voice was not slow, but what she said was like a bomb. Qian's father felt dizzy and his head was spinning.

"You...what did you say?" Qian's father asked in disbelief, hoping that he had heard it wrong.

"Father, you heard right." Qian Yirong saw through his father's self-deception and punctured his fantasy. "My sister and I saw with our own eyes that Mr. Mu was being raped by someone with such unsatisfied desire. If it weren't for me and my sister, if he had really been defiled by someone, I'm afraid father wouldn't be able to explain to the Mu family."

Ignoring the vicious words in Qian Yirong's words, after extracting the key meaning, Qian's father's stern face suddenly cracked like a bolt from the blue. He turned to look at his eldest son, whose expression also changed drastically. From his eldest son's reaction, he confirmed this news that was hard for him to accept.

"If my sister and I hadn't helped Young Master Mu, you would have been blamed by the Mu family. But now, the important thing is of course to find out the culprit who drugged Young Master Mu, and then give an explanation to the Mu family. Don't you think so, father?" Qian Yirong said meaningfully.

"Yes, before the Mu family holds anyone accountable, we have to find the culprit. Cheng'er, come with me to get the surveillance footage." Father Qian said, and took Qian Chengshu to deal with the rest of the matter.

Qian's mother stayed to wait for the father and son, and asked Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing to go home first. Qian Yirong had no intention of staying to help or cause trouble. The ups and downs of the day still made her physically and mentally exhausted, so naturally she would rather go back and rest.

Xu Baiqing comforted Qian's mother for a few words, and then obediently followed her advice to go home with Qian Yirong. In the steadily moving car, Xu Baiqing couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qian Yirong who was resting with her eyes closed.

She... she really likes being with Qian Yirong. Whether it is her cold and distant gaze or the fragrance spreading from her body, Xu Baiqing likes her so much.

"Why are you staring at me?" Even with her eyes closed, Qian Yirong could still feel the gaze coming from the side that she could not ignore, and she couldn't help but break the silence between them.

"Sister, you are so pretty." After Qian Yirong pointed out that he was looking at her, Xu Baiqing not only did not feel guilty, but instead approached her more boldly and said.

A warm breath approached, Qian Yirong opened her eyes suddenly and saw Xu Baiqing almost lying on her, even his face was about to touch hers, and the two people's breathing was even entangled.

"Don't get so close." Qian Yirong moved aside and looked at the front seat in panic, only to find that the partition between the front and back seats had risen up at some point.

"Sister, don't worry, no one will find out about our intimacy," Xu Baiqing said, leaning on Qian Yirong's shoulder, "After all, you still have to 'hate' me."

Qian Yirong knew that Xu Baiqing's perceptiveness would sooner or later discover his superficial "disgust" towards her, but she would cooperate with her and do things that were obviously of no benefit to her, which Qian Yirong had not expected.

After all, although she was controlling her limits, nothing she did to Xu Baiqing was a good thing, but she seemed to be enjoying it, which made Qian Yirong very puzzled.

"Why do you cooperate with me?" Qian Yirong finally couldn't help but ask.

"I can play this kind of game with you for as long as you want." Xu Baiqing chuckled in Qian Yirong's ear. After all, compared to her little fights, Xu Baiqing had encountered worse situations in the past.

And if she could "reward" herself every time after cooperating with Qian Yirong, she would never get tired of it no matter how long she did it, or rather, she was looking forward to the "reward" after each time. Although these "rewards" were all asked for by herself, perhaps because of her guilt, Qian Yirong would not refuse her behavior of asking for "rewards".

Just like now, she was lying on Qian Yirong's shoulder, looking at Qian Yirong's neck which had turned red because of her actions, and her unconscious evasive movements, but she did not reject her approach.

Qian Yirong wanted to say that it was not a game, but she couldn't say it out loud. She had tried, but the book wouldn't let her reveal the truth about the world and the existence of the book. She could only hope that after her own story was over, she could really leave here.

Because of the subtle feeling of guilt in her heart, Qian Yirong allowed Xu Baiqing to get closer. She only felt that Xu Baiqing's breathing on her shoulder and blowing on her neck gradually became steady.

Qian Yirong, who had made some mental preparations, turned her head and saw Xu Baiqing who had fallen asleep on her shoulder. Seeing Xu Baiqing asleep, Qian Yirong felt a little relieved. Every time she faced Xu Baiqing, she always had a strange sense of familiarity that made her confused.

When they returned to the villa, Qian Yirong woke Xu Baiqing up. Seeing the satisfied smile on his face, Qian Yirong couldn't help but feel a little strange. They both went back to their rooms. Qian Yirong thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but after washing up and getting into bed, she soon fell asleep. In her half-awake state, she vaguely heard a strange yet familiar voice.

"Is this really okay?"

"There's no other way. Rongrong insisted on doing this, and Qingqing has also responded. Maybe her decision is right."

"I hope so, but if there's any problem, I'll interrupt it all."

"Don't worry, Rongrong has been preparing for this for a long time."

It was like sinking in the water, listening to the sounds from the shore. The sounds were vague and unclear. Qian Yirong felt familiar with them, but it was as if she could not understand what the sounds meant. In the end, she could no longer hear any sounds at all.

The author has something to say:
