Xiang Qi said she was worried about her sister. Knowing some of Xiang Jin's favorite places, she took him all over the city, but they didn't even see a trace of her.
"It's alright, Xiao, don't be so polite with me. Jin is also my sister, and I'm very worried too." Xiang Qi's face was full of anxiety and innocence, as if she couldn't wait to find Xiang Jin and hold her in her arms to cry her heart out.
Seeing her like this, Murong Xiao's hostility subsided considerably. He turned around and looked away, saying, "I didn't mean to blame you."
"I know you're worried about your sister too, and I am too. But she probably just went out to clear her head. She often leaves without saying goodbye like this before; she's a bit willful." She seemed to dote on her sister, her tone filled with endless affection.
Cool raindrops fell on my cheeks.
"Oh dear, it's raining. Let's get in the car, Ah Xiao." Hearing this, the waiter politely opened the car door. Xiang Qi tried to tug at Murong Xiao's sleeve, but Murong Xiao dodged her. She smiled faintly and got into the car, seemingly shy. As she turned around, she glanced at the pillar behind her, and then raised the corners of her mouth in a provocative manner.
She had seen Xiang Jin a long time ago.
So what?
With such a beautiful and elegant woman like herself in front of Murong Xiao, how could Murong Xiao possibly see Xiang Jin? Xiang Qi was a hundred or a thousand times better than her!
Behind the pillar, Xiang Jin, who witnessed the two standing intimately together, suddenly felt weak in the legs the moment they got into the car, and fell into the adjacent ornamental pond.
Suddenly, someone nearby exclaimed, "Oh no! Someone has fallen into the pool!"
"What happened? How did we suddenly fall in?"
"Who knows? He just suddenly fell in. Enough talk, let's get him out of here!"
"What's going on?" Before the car door could be closed, the commotion from the pool entered the car, and passersby gathered around, with several people screaming. Murong Xiao didn't even look up, his brows furrowed, as if disturbed by the noise.
"It's probably just strangers arguing, don't worry about it, Ah Xiao," Xiang Qi comforted him softly.
Murong Xiao frowned, looking at Xiang Qi with an oppressive aura: "I find this very strange."
"What's strange?"
"Why have you been calling me Ah Xiao ever since we left the Xiang Group headquarters?"
"This..." Xiang Qi blushed, her shyness making her fox-like eyes even more alluring, "I just thought calling him A-Xiao was easier to say, and besides, given our relationship..."
"That's inappropriate. Don't call me that again," Murong Xiao interrupted directly.
Xiang Qi was stunned.
She wanted to say something more, but seeing Murong Xiao's slightly gloomy expression, she obediently shut her mouth, silently thinking, "There's plenty of time in the future."
"What's going on? Why hasn't the car left yet?" Seeing the awkward atmosphere inside the car, Xiang Qi wanted to divert attention, so she raised her voice and impatiently pressured Su Ming.
Su Ming: "..."
The car still didn't move.
Xiang Qi felt even more embarrassed, realizing that she had just lost her composure. She quickly softened her tone and her voice became gentle again: "That's not what I meant. Aren't we looking for our sister? Stopping here is a waste of time."
Still, no one paid any attention to her.
An eerie silence filled the car.
After what seemed like an eternity, a heavy voice finally came from above: "Drive."
"Yes, BOSS." Su Ming didn't even glance at Xiang Qi before silently starting the car.
Xiang Qi, slow to realize what was happening, wished she could dig a tunnel and disappear into it.
Has she lost her mind?! How could she be so stupid as to order around Murong Xiao's driver? Who is that guy, Su Ming?! One of Murong Xiao's confidants! The richest man in China is willing to entrust his life to him—that's a huge sign of respect and trust. And she actually lost her composure and did something so irrational just because of that "It's not appropriate, don't call me that again!"
Will he hate himself because of this?
Xiang Qi cursed inwardly several times before finally speaking softly, "Um... Xiao, I'm sorry about what I did earlier..."
"parking!"
Startled, Su Ming slammed on the brakes.
Before he could even ask Murong Xiao what was wrong, the man had already opened the car door and strode towards the pool not far away!
Just now, as he was aimlessly looking out the window, he happened to see passersby pulling a drowning person out of the water. The passersby were facing away from the road, and the person being rescued was soaking wet, with hair sticking to their face. Although he couldn't see their face clearly, the little bit of skin that was exposed was exceptionally fair. In that instant, Xiang Jin's image immediately flashed into his mind.
And right there, Xiang Jin's left hand, which was resting on a passerby's shoulder, slipped down.
Even though there was nothing on those hands, he was certain that it was Xiang Jin.
No one knew that woman's body better than him.
Just as the passerby was about to put Xiang Jin down, a pair of hands suddenly reached out and snatched the person from his arms. He brushed the wet hair off her cheeks and, seeing her pale and thin face, became violent again.
This woman!
He's only been gone a short time, and she's already made herself look like this!
Her breathing was very weak. Su Ming, who rushed over, immediately helped with CPR, but Murong Xiao pushed him away. He stared intently into her eyes and rhythmically pressed his hands against her chest. After a long while, she finally vomited a few mouthfuls of water.
Murong Xiao held her to his chest, cupped her face, and tried to warm her icy body: "Doctor!"
Su Ming was so startled that he almost dropped his phone into the water: "Young Master, the doctor will be here in two minutes, no, one minute, no, thirty seconds!"
Xiang Qi, who belatedly caught up, was so shocked by the scene that she couldn't speak. Xiang Jin, who had fallen into the pool, was covered in dirt and wetness, and had also soiled Murong Xiao's gray shirt. She couldn't bear to watch any longer; how could such a despicable person defile Murong Xiao?
So, she walked over gracefully and said, "Um, Ah... Master Xiao, please put Ah Jin down. She got your clothes dirty."
Murong Xiao ignored him.
Xiang Qi added, "Just let the driver carry you; getting your clothes dirty would be beneath your dignity."
Still, no one paid any attention to her.
Just as Xiang Qi was about to speak again, someone shouted, "The doctor is here!" Murong Xiao picked up Xiang Jin and bumped straight past her towards the doctor, causing Xiang Qi to fall to the ground.
Just as she was about to play the victim, she looked up and found that Murong Xiao, along with Xiang Jin and Su Ming, had all disappeared.
"That bitch!"
Xiang Qi glared hatefully in the direction they disappeared. What incredible luck did that bitch Xiang Jin have to make Murong Xiao hug her without any regard for his image! With a socialite like herself right in front of him, he actually hugged a convict and even pushed her over for the sake of this convict!
Xiang Qi grew angrier the more she thought about it.
It took her a long time to calm down.
The more critical the moment, the calmer she needs to be. Murong Xiao isn't stupid; given the choice between gold and rubbish, would he choose the rubbish? Sooner or later, he'll see his worth and kick that bitch Xiang Jin out. She needs to stay calm and wait for that day to arrive.
