Chapter 11 Disturbance "So, Qing...
"So, Qingqing, you still care about me, right? You care about me."
Xia Yiqing turned around and rushed out of the door, with her ears red. She only left behind one sentence, "You're overthinking it and I don't care. Hurry up and put on your clothes and leave."
Sitting beside the bed, Qi Hanmu curled the corners of his mouth, clenched his fists, then unclenched them, with a look of determination on his face.
Qingqing is a soft-hearted woman, and one day he will be able to win her over.
When he stood up to find clothes, a dark light flashed across Qi Hanmu's eyes. It's not that he couldn't take coercive measures to keep Qingqing by his side, but that would only scare Qingqing. Qingqing didn't like being forced by others. She liked gentle people.
Be patient... or you'll scare her.
Qi Hanmu slowly loosened his grip on the cabinet and looked at his veins sinking into the cuffs of the diamond cufflinks. His face was calm and his eyes were indifferent, as if he was a god descended from the sky.
"Have you changed yet? We're going to be late."
The woman's screams outside pulled this god back into the world. The ice and snow on his face slowly melted, his tense shoulders and neck slowly relaxed, his eyebrows became more humane, and a hint of attachment emerged in his eyes.
He slowly closed the wardrobe door, lifted his legs and walked outside, heading towards the bright light, his voice was hoarse, "I'm coming."
His purity is his salvation.
"What are you doing?" Xia Yiqing looked warily at the pair of men's hands that suddenly appeared on her shoulders, and turned back to glare at him.
Qi Hanmu's two upward-raised sword-like eyebrows slowly moved to the side at this moment, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a hint of seduction. He lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes trembled, like a butterfly resting in a rainstorm, making people inadvertently stop breathing.
"I can't stand for a while, Qingqing, can you let me lean on you for a while?"
Xia Yiqing was confused and was about to question it when she saw the man who had just stood upright slowly leaning on her shoulder. His breathing became heavy again, and some crystals slowly gathered on his forehead, and it seemed as if they were about to slide down.
"I," Xia Yiqing swallowed her saliva. Why did she feel that just a moment of doubt would have such terrible consequences? If she refused, he wouldn't faint on the spot, would he?
"Forget it, go ahead if you want to lean on it, but don't make trouble in the car when the time comes."
"Um."
She had clearly agreed, but when they got in the taxi, Qi Hanmu leaned towards her again. Even the seat belt did not stop him from leaning towards Xia Yiqing.
It was approaching the evening rush hour and there was a bit of traffic congestion and swaying. Xia Yiqing looked at the traffic jam outside and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
She was just about to take out her phone to read a novel or watch a video to kill time when she heard a groan from the side, "Qingqing, I feel uncomfortable."
Xia Yiqing:?
She put down her phone and turned around, only to find that Qi Hanmu's face was still pale, but this time even his lips were white. He had a lot of sweat on his forehead, and there was a little bit of crystal hanging on the tip of his nose. His black hair was wet, and strands of it stuck to his forehead. He looked broken, like a doll made of fragile material.
"What happened again?"
Xia Yiqing's tone was calm, without any questioning.
Qi Hanmu had felt uncomfortable before, but his assistant usually took care of him personally, so Xia Yiqing didn't need to do anything.
But ever since he started running around with Xia Yiqing, the assistant seemed to have disappeared. Except for seeing him put the oxygen mask on Qi Hanmu once, Xia Yiqing never saw him again.
So even though her tone was calm, her hands were shaking, and she didn't even dare to take her eyes off Qi Hanmu, fearing that something might happen to him. But in her heart, she was mocking him. How could someone of Qi Hanmu's status let herself get into trouble so easily? Her worry was really unnecessary.
Half-struggling in this way, Xia Yiqing raised her hand tremblingly and touched Qi Hanmu's forehead with the back of her hand.
Fortunately, the temperature is not much different from the back of my hand, so I probably don’t have a fever.
"Is it very uncomfortable?" Xia Yiqing's tone was still a little hard, but the corner of the man's mouth next to her slowly curled up in a place where the two of them could not see.
"If you feel unwell, give me your phone, or tell me your personal doctor's phone number and I'll call him over for you."
After saying this, Xia Yiqing felt embarrassed. She touched her nose, thinking that it was not very good to have the private doctor named Qin brought back not long after he left. She had troubled him.
Beside her, Qi Hanmu slowly leaned towards her. His breathing was a little unstable, but it was no longer as disordered as when he was ill.
"I'm fine. It's just that the seat belt is tightening and it's a little uncomfortable. I can't breathe."
Xia Yiqing relaxed after hearing the first half of the sentence, but after hearing the second half, the breath came back up, stuck in her throat. After thinking it over, she could only squeeze out a dry sentence, "You can't not wear a seat belt. It's too dangerous."
"Yeah." Qi Hanmu responded quickly.
However, he seized the opportunity, slipped his hand into Xia Yiqing's palm, slid in, and slowly interlocked his fingers with hers, bringing some coolness and moisture, but making Xia Yiqing inexplicably unwilling to break free.
She squeezed out another sentence, "Why, shaking hands isn't uncomfortable?"
According to the previous situation, even if she had a hundred times the courage, she probably wouldn't dare to speak to Qi Hanmu in this tone. It seems that the change of identity is a good thing. She can even act arrogantly in front of Qi Hanmu.
She never expected that such a powerful man would lean against her neck like this, his breath hitting her collarbone, and he said in a muffled voice, "Hmm."
Xia Yiqing twitched the corner of her mouth and didn't take it seriously.
The lights are dim outside.
As soon as Xia Yiqing got off the car, she saw a person wearing a halter dress and heavy makeup waving at her at the door. When she saw her, her eyes lit up like lights.
"Do you know each other?" Qi Hanmu's voice was behind her, a little hoarse, like the surface of paper polished by sandpaper.
Xia Yiqing smiled and waved over there, without looking at Qi Hanmu, she responded, "Friend, Su Huanhuan."
Before she had taken a few steps, Su Huanhuan strode over to her, hugged her in his arms, and kissed and rubbed her.
"Qingqing, I missed you so much. You were kept in the house by that old man named Qi, unable to leave. Finally, you can come out and play with me."
Xia Yiqing swallowed her saliva, feeling inexplicably guilty, and glanced cautiously at "Old Man Qi".
He should have been angry, but now he raised the corners of his mouth, said nothing, and just followed them silently.
Su Huanhuan pulled her forward. The further they walked, the more people there were. The bar was full of colorful lights, and all kinds of special effects lights chased from the ceiling all the way to the ground, flashing past people's eyes and running to the other side, which was dazzling.
Xia Yiqing was just looking for an opportunity to explain to Su Huanhuan that the person who came with her was Qi Hanmu, and asked her to put aside her opinion of Qi Hanmu for the time being and not say anything bad at this time, when Su Huanhuan pulled her to a chair.
"Come sit down, how can you come to the bar without drinking? I'll ask the bartender to make you a good drink," Su Huanhuan snapped her fingers at a boy wearing a mask next to the bar and said with a smile,
"Aye, give me a Tequila Sunrise and a Pina Colada."
The sound of dance music next to them was deafening. Xia Yiqing frowned. She tried to talk to Su Huanhuan but was interrupted by the singing several times. Helplessly, she could only wait for the wine while watching the performance on the stage.
For some reason, she always felt a little uneasy.
And this uneasiness finally came to light when her gaze swept to the side and fell on Qi Hanmu.
There was a faint smell of cigarettes in the air. Xia Yiqing couldn't tell whether it was of low quality or high quality. She only saw Qi Hanmu wearing a mask, his eyes lightly closed, sitting in a relatively quiet place next to the bar, but his shoulders and back were still straight, as if he didn't want others to see his weaknesses.
There was clearly no shortage of light in the bar. Those special-effect lights shone back and forth, scanning people's faces like searchlights, and the lights on the side seemed stingy and didn't want to shine on Qi Hanmu. They passed by him many times without stopping, leaving only a darkness covering that side, like a deserted place exuding loneliness.
"I..." Xia Yiqing tugged at the corner of Su Huanhuan's clothes and pointed at Qi Hanmu. With the experience of speaking a few times before, she almost shouted this time.
"I'll go over there and take a look!"
Su Huanhuan was startled by the roar in her ear. Her whole body trembled, she beat her heart, and her face was still in shock. But when she saw the other side, joy flashed in her eyes, and she pointed her hand over there, obviously very interested.
"There's a handsome guy over there. Look at him in a suit. He looks good. Why would he wear a suit when he comes to a bar? He's so prudish. Let's go meet him."
Su Huanhuan was naturally aggressive, and her voice was quite loud at this time. Several gazes came from the side and fell on the two girls.
There was some scrutiny, but more of it was curiosity.
A few men with red faces chuckled a few times and moved towards Su Huanhuan, deliberately covering their faces with wine glasses. They didn't look handsome, but greasy. They smiled at Su Huanhuan with misty eyes and said, "Beauty, if you want to play, find me."
"Bah," Su Huanhuan, although she often came to the bar, had never messed around with anyone before. She spat at the man fiercely and pulled Xia Yiqing behind her.
"You're not worthy enough, why don't you take a piss and look at your own dog face?"
There was a burst of laughter from the side, coming from the brothers around the man.
They were talking one after another and making a fuss.
"Brother Meng, I don't like you!"
"You little girl, do you know who our Meng Ge is? Just, just refuse."
Xia Yiqing frowned and was about to go up and say something, but Su Huanhuan blocked her with one hand and gave her a look that told her not to come forward.
After doing all this, Su Huanhuan crossed her arms, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the drunken men with a cold and contemptuous look, as if she were looking at garbage. "I don't care who you are, but you can ask who the daughter of the Su Group is."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of those men who were drooling with lustful eyes just now changed immediately. They exchanged glances and saw fear in each other's eyes.
This time, the so-called fierce man spoke again. Although he still smelled of alcohol, his tone was a little more sober. "Um, could it be that you are Miss Su?"
The argument between the few people was not too loud, but at a place ten steps away from them, the man slowly raised his eyes and locked his gaze here.
The phoenix eyes that had been filled with mist not long ago, begging for Xia Yiqing's pity, now abandoned the clarity and were filled with bottomless black mist, as if it could swallow everything.
What kind of thing dares to disturb his peace?
