Chapter 262: Mr. Qi's Heroic Rescue
The black Bentley was speeding through the neon lights, and on the car screen was the surveillance video sent by Lin An.
The surveillance video only has images but no sound.
Shen Hanxing seemed to be in good condition and always had a smile on her face.
And now...
In the picture, the corners of Shen Hanxing's camel coat were lifted by the wind. She was leaning over to adjust the tie of a boy in a khaki windbreaker, and the dimples at the corners of her lips were faintly visible.
Qi Moxun's knuckles suddenly tightened, and his fingertips rolled over the texture of the leather armrest, as if crushing some obscure emotions.
After getting out of the car, he stood in front of the restaurant.
The glass curtain wall of the high-rise building reflected his taut jawline, and under the light, he looked much gloomier.
However, when he approached the restaurant, he found that Meng Tingxiao's shoulders were drooping.
Shen Hanxing stood opposite him, her beige scarf curled gently between her collar. She turned around when she heard footsteps, her eyes still filled with apology.
"Mr. Qi?" Her voice was like warm wine. "Come to see a friend?"
This is very official.
It was like they had distanced themselves from each other.
Qi Moxun's Adam's apple rolled and his eyes swept over the jade bracelet swaying on her wrist.
It was given to her by Ruan Susu. Although it was not expensive, it was her favorite.
He suddenly realized.
Whether it was the clothes or the decorations on Shen Hanxing’s body, they had nothing to do with men.
"Just passing by." He tugged at his tie, but the tips of his ears felt hot in the night.
Chen Hanxing suddenly pointed at the LED screen across the street. The countdown to the fireworks show was ticking to "00:15." The warm orange light made her eyelashes look like they were covered in gold dust. "Let's go watch the fireworks? When I was little, I always climbed to the rooftop to watch them, but I got busy and stopped going."
She habitually twisted the end of her scarf when she spoke. This little action reminded Qi Moxun of the first time they met. She was spinning her pen at the signing ceremony, but when she looked up, her smile was as bright as the sun.
He heard himself say yes, his voice half a note lower than usual, as if he was afraid of scaring away something light.
Meng Tingxiao: "..."Is he air?
But he is now a heartbroken man and really has no mood to watch the fireworks.
"Then I'll be leaving first."
His heart was broken and torn today.
I have to go back and recuperate.
Shen Hanxing naturally wouldn't stop him, but when he looked at Meng Tingxiao, the apology in his heart was indeed spreading.
I hope this kid won't get too stuck in a rut.
…
The wind in the Fireworks Square carried the dampness of late spring, and Shen Hanxing's scarf was blown around Qi Moxun's wrist.
Qi Moxun lowered his eyes and took a look.
I don’t know what he thought of, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Then, he slowly reached out to untie her. His fingertips touched the warmth of her wrist bone, which was like touching a piece of warm jade, and the touch made a small sound explode at the nerve endings.
She hurriedly took a half step back, and the tips of her ears were brighter red than the fireworks that had just bloomed in the sky.
The fireworks on the main stage took off on time, and when the first cluster of silver-gold waterfalls poured down, Shen Hanxing suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Qi Moxun was tense, but he saw her looking up at the sky, her eyelashes casting butterfly-like shadows under her eyes: "Does it look good?"
His eyes slid from her fluttering eyelashes to her slightly parted lips, the lipstick a pale rose that shone with a pearly sheen in the firelight.
When she turned her head, the ends of her hair brushed his jaw, and the light scent of cedar and amber filled his nostrils.
The crowd suddenly became crowded, and the lady in high heels behind him stumbled and bumped into him. Qi Moxun instinctively hugged Shen Hanxing's waist.
When his palm touched the delicate waistline under her sweater, her breathing suddenly stopped, and her eyelashes cast a trembling shadow on her eyelids, like a frightened butterfly folding its wings.
"Feel sorry......"
She hurriedly pushed him away, but her fingertips left a faint palm print on his suit. Qi Moxun's throat tightened, and looking at her cheeks flushed with panic, he suddenly felt like holding her up and seeing if she would bloom like a firework in his palm.
The prelude of "Canon" came from afar, the theme music of the fireworks show. Chen Hanxing suddenly pointed to the horizon and said, "Look! It's a heart-shaped firework!"
Her eyes were brighter than any stars, but she didn't notice that Qi Moxun's gaze was always on her face. The light dancing in her eyes was brighter than fireworks.
When Xi Muxuan saw that scene from the VIP viewing platform, her nails almost dug into her palms. Qi Moxun's hand was still on Shen Hanxing's waist, and she was looking up at him and smiling, as if she had rubbed the whole spring into her eyes.
She didn't expect that their relationship had become so good.
Qi Moxun's eyes seemed to be able to draw threads.
He had never looked at her like that before.
Why does this bitch Shen Hanxing have the right!
She gritted her teeth and pulled a passerby over.
"Want to make money? I'll give you 100,000 and you can do something."
…
Shen Hanxing looked at the fireworks, her mood gradually improving, but someone suddenly pointed at her and shouted.
"How did you seduce my man!"
The crowd was silent for a moment, and Shen Hanxing's smile froze on his face.
When Qi Moxun turned around, a thin layer of frost formed under his eyes, like the polar ice fields freezing in an instant.
The strange woman had already rushed forward, and her hand with cinnabar-colored nail polish swung directly towards Chen Hanxing's abdomen: "A woman like you is not worthy of..."
Shen Hanxing didn’t know the other person’s identity, but for safety and to protect himself, he instinctively stepped back, but his heel stepped on the crack of the stone steps.
In the moment of weightlessness, she saw Qi Moxun's pupils shrink suddenly, and his usually calm brows furrowed fiercely. He almost rushed over to hug her, and when he turned around, his back slammed into the iron guardrail beside him, and a muffled groan mixed with the screams of the crowd exploded.
"Are you okay?" His voice was breathless, and his palms repeatedly stroked her back, as if to confirm whether she was okay.
Shen Hanxing buried her head in the crook of his neck, smelling the faint scent of cedar on his shirt, mixed with a faint smell of rust—which was from when she bumped into the guardrail just now.
She quickly turned her head and looked at the culprit.
"Who are you and why are you slandering me?"
That woman is timid and she did this just now purely for the sake of money.
Now seeing that Shen Hanxing was fine and even looked like he was going to interrogate her, she was immediately frightened and turned around and ran away.
When Qi Moxun looked up, his eyes were cold enough to freeze: "Lin An, go find someone!"
He put his arm around Shen Hanxing's waist and turned around, pressing his fingertips gently on her waist, as if comforting a frightened cub.
Only then did Shen Hanxing realize that there was a hole in the back of his suit, revealing the purple-blue skin underneath, which was shocking.
The blue light of the ambulance flashed in the distance, and a police car also arrived and arrested the woman who was causing trouble. Qi Moxun also had his wounds treated briefly by medical staff.
"It's just a soft tissue contusion." When he came over, his suit was draped over his shoulders, and his white shirt was open at the collar, revealing his beautiful collarbone. Shen Hanxing reached out to straighten his collar, and her fingertips touched his burning skin: "Does it hurt?"
He suddenly grabbed her wrist, and the thin calluses on his palm brushed against her pulse: "What about you? Did you get hurt anywhere?" His thumb stroked the bracelet on her wrist, as if confirming every tiny line.
