Chapter 71 Go Abroad with Me
Li Qingqing felt like she had a very long dream. In the dream, she was like a fallen leaf floating in the sea, rising and falling.
The storm swept her up and threw her against the waves again and again.
Her vision was blurred, with light and darkness in front of her eyes. In a trance, she seemed to see Mu Xingyi's face.
He looked at her expressionlessly, looking down at her like a master, but soon she could no longer see anything. All that was left was her internal organs churning inside her body, as if trying to break free from her chest.
Then there was calm, a long period of calm.
When Li Qingqing woke up again, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment, which looked like the interior of an ordinary villa at first glance.
The sky outside the window is blue and the clouds are low, like the weather after a storm.
Li Qingqing was very curious why she woke up in such a place. She wanted to get up and check the situation outside, but she found that her whole body was sore and she couldn't use any strength.
"What's going on?" Li Qingqing panicked instantly, "Where is this?"
"This is our temporary home." Mu Xingyi's voice came from above her head.
Li Qingqing instantly broke out in a cold sweat, "Doctor Mu?"
Mu Xingyi walked slowly around to the bed and sat down on the chair beside the bed without any hurry. He smiled slightly at Li Qingqing, the curve of his mouth was the same as before, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He took advantage of the situation and grabbed Li Qingqing's hand that was on the bedside, put it in front of his mouth and nose, closed his eyes and sniffed gently. Li Qingqing's brows instantly wrinkled into a "川" shape.
She wanted to pull her hand back but found that she was powerless. A feeling of extreme helplessness and fear instantly surged into her heart.
Li Qingqing stared at him, and Mu Xingyi's expression seemed to have gained a brief satisfaction. He slowly said: "Qingqing, come with me to Country M."
Li Qingqing stared at his face intently, full of doubts: "...Why? Why should I go to Country M with you? And where is this place? Did you kidnap me?"
She tried hard to remain calm. At this moment, there was a very strange and ridiculous look in Mu Xingyi's eyes.
From the moment she opened her eyes, Li Qingqing found that she was now completely controlled. She didn't know what Mu Xingyi's purpose was in treating her like this, but she knew that she had to remain calm and negotiate with him.
"Kidnapping? Qingqing, don't use such harsh words. I just want to take you to live abroad with me."
Mu Xingyi always had a faint smile on his face. He reached out to smooth the hair on her forehead, but Li Qingqing turned her head and dodged.
"Why? Haven't we reconciled? Didn't you say you didn't blame me? Didn't you say you were willing to continue being friends with me?"
Li Qingqing was still trying to persuade him.
"Those are just my excuses for wanting to continue associating with you, Qingqing. You know, I've always liked you, but you've never thought of relying on me. Even though I've spoken so humbly, why don't you come to me? Do you know how I felt when I learned that you and Lu Yan... you've already...?"
Mu Xingyi's face gradually became ferocious.
Li Qingqing feebly defended herself: "But I've already separated from Lu Yan, why would you still do this?..."
"So do you love me, Qingqing?"
Mu Xingyi suddenly leaned towards her, and Li Qingqing subconsciously screamed and dodged.
Mu Xingyi's kiss stopped awkwardly in mid-air.
A few seconds later he suddenly started laughing wildly, his laughter was a bit bitter and self-deprecating.
"Look at you, Qingqing, why are you hiding from me? When Lu Yan kissed you, did you hide too? I guess not, right? The human body can't lie. You don't love me, I know it, but I love you, I want you, I want you to belong to me forever, so... I can only use this method, do you understand me now?"
Mu Xingyi's crazy expression scared Li Qingqing so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"...But why should I go abroad with you? Do you know that what you are doing now constitutes illegal imprisonment? Aren't you afraid of going to jail?" Li Qingqing questioned him in a trembling voice.
"Go to jail?" Mu Xingyi chuckled, "Qingqing, you are as naive as ever."
He kept stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips.
"Since I've decided to do this, I've made perfect preparations. Don't worry about me about this kind of thing. From now on, you only need to worry about one thing, and that is being my, Mu Xingyi's, woman."
He emphasized the last few words, as if they had already hit the nail on the head.
Mu Xingyi wanted to bend down and kiss her, but when he saw the two lines of clear tears flowing uncontrollably on Li Qingqing's face, he felt extremely disappointed, and the kiss did not end up falling.
"I don't want to force you, Qingqing, but I advise you to be a little more obedient and cooperate. Your brother just got an artificial heart. You don't want it to break down again, do you?"
Mu Xingyi persuaded her in a calm tone, but to Li Qingqing it sounded like an ice blade piercing every inch of her skin.
"What did you do to my brother?!"
Li Qingqing's eyes were red and her chest was heaving violently. She couldn't believe that the once gentle and polite Dr. Mu now looked like a devil.
"Don't worry, Qingqing, don't get so excited."
He stroked her smooth black hair as if he were stroking the most precious treasure in the world. "As long as you behave well, your brother will be fine."
Li Qingqing wanted to say something, but Mu Xingyi turned around and answered a phone call. The call was very short and she didn't hear any message.
After Mu Xingyi left, Li Qingqing was extremely desperate. She didn't understand why the person who was fine yesterday suddenly changed his temperament today.
But now that things have come to this, tears are the most useless thing. The most important thing now is to find a way to escape.
…
It was not until around two o'clock in the afternoon that Li Qingqing felt that her limbs had regained some sensation. Half an hour later, when a middle-aged woman came in to bring her food, she was able to get out of bed and move around.
She grabbed the aunt who brought her food and asked her what place this was, but the aunt just smiled at her as if she couldn't speak.
Li Qingqing wanted to ask something, but the aunt who delivered the meal had quickly closed the door and left. When she hurriedly chased after her, she found that the gate of the villa had been locked.
She tried for a while and after confirming that it could not be opened from the inside, she began to check the situation inside the house.
The villa had two floors, simple decoration, but many rooms. Li Qingqing searched inside and out, but could not find any device that could communicate with the outside world.
The windows of the villa were also fixed shut and reinforced from the outside. Outside the windows on the first floor were lush vegetation, making it impossible to tell where they were. Li Qingqing felt that everything around her was very quiet. It seemed that Mu Xingyi had made sufficient preparations in advance.
The same thing happened on the second floor; all the windows were sealed shut. Fortunately, the view from the second floor was quite wide, and Li Qingqing found herself at the seaside. She ran to the window of the room opposite and saw that this wasn't just a seaside, but an entire island.
