Chapter 17 Status This voice is very familiar, it is Xia...
This voice was very familiar, and Xia Yiqing was used to hearing it.
Qi Hanmu has always been cold towards outsiders.
"Third Master," she raised her eyes, her voice soft, her cheeks slightly bulging, and the baby fat that had not yet faded. The expectation in her almond-shaped eyes fell into the man's phoenix eyes with frost and snow, and melted into a pool of spring water, "It's me."
Qi Hanmu stood where he was, his eyes as dark as ink never blinking, his breathing became heavier, and he stood firm.
He slowly raised his eyes. Because he was standing in the dark and at a distance, most people present could not see his face clearly. They could only see a vague shadow, standing alone and solemnly, as if carrying a frosty atmosphere, making people shiver in the June sky.
But Chen Tan, who had a sinister look on his face just now, secretly relaxed his strength after seeing Xia Yiqing running towards the man.
He underestimated Huanhuan's friends. He never thought that an ordinary woman like Xia could actually have a relationship with the rumored Third Master.
It's really surprising.
Over there.
Xia Yiqing slowly moved her hand from the man's sleeve upwards, and her round almond-shaped eyes changed from tentative at the beginning to looking at the man openly.
Thinking of how they had just turned the tables and reversed their relationship not long ago, Xia Yiqing spoke with more confidence.
She gently hooked Qi Hanmu's fingertips with her left hand and slowly pulled him towards her. She curled her right hand into a fist and placed it against her lips. Her almond-shaped eyes, which were always bright, now had a bit more cunning, like a little fox.
Qi Hanmu rarely saw her so lively, and was dazzled for a moment.
In my memory, when the little girl was still a child, her round almond-shaped eyes were particularly eye-catching. They always exuded a bit of ignorance and a child's natural innocence. They were like a mirror given by God. Looking into it, you can see the reflection of your soul at the bottom of the clear lake.
Inexplicably, a trace of bitterness flashed across Qi Hanmu's eyes like a meteor.
If her eyes were truly gifted by God with the ability to see into people's hearts, then the moment they shone on him, they would have revealed the ugliness of his soul.
After all, when they first met, she was the high and mighty eldest daughter, while he was an illegitimate child who had not yet been recognized by the Qi family and was living in the dark.
In a small alley, a girl wearing a white puffy princess dress and holding a light blue umbrella leaned forward, her index finger curiously touching her lips, and asked him, "Little brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you here?"
Qi Hanmu, who had just experienced a round of pursuit by the original wife of the Qi family, huddled at the end of the alley. It was dark and damp, covered with moss, and filled with the smell of corruption, but God also brought him good things.
He couldn't hear the girl's voice. The escape just now resulted in the deaths of all those who protected him, and his hearing aid was lost in the chaos. He was exhausted and mistook his unique heartbeat for a threat. He glared at the girl and bared his teeth, trying to scare her away with a hoarse roar.
The little princess in her dress turned pale, but she didn't fight back. Her lips trembled twice, and she ran away waving her arms and legs.
Yes, he was born a bad guy. Staring at the girl's departing back, little Qi Hanmu laughed at himself for the first time.
He doesn't deserve such beauty.
Heavy rain poured down, soaking the boy's blood-stained shirt. He licked the cracked lips again and again, only to find that the smell of blood was too bitter, and it numbed the corners of his eyes and made them hot, and his vision blurred.
Also in the torrential rain, a small light blue umbrella swayed and moved towards here firmly.
The young boy was just about to feel sorry for himself when the rain above his head suddenly stopped.
As if sensing something, he looked up and saw the brightest rainbow.
Not only was the girl not afraid of him, she also brought him an umbrella and food.
Qi Hanmu was so hungry that he ignored etiquette and ate voraciously, while the girl looked at him and smiled.
That smile was pure, kind, and without any other emotions.
It was really almost nothing like the way Xia Yiqing pretended to be aggrieved when she asked him for something.
"What's the matter?" Qi Hanmu's voice was a little hoarse.
If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight nasal sound, and he still has a low fever.
Over there, Chen Tan also softened his attitude, let go of Su Huanhuan's hand, quickly glanced at Xia Yiqing, lowered his head, and said, "Third Master."
Even though Su Huanhuan was right in front of him and seemed like he could take her away easily, Chen Tan still didn't dare to act rashly.
The Shen family’s current glory is largely inseparable from the support of the Qi family.
The people of Jiangcheng only know that the Shen family is a wealthy family in Jiangcheng, but they don’t know that the Qi family is the real manipulator of Jiangcheng, and that the Third Master Qi is an unattainable existence. He has long been regarded as a legend in the circle, and no one dares to provoke him.
Qi Hanmu didn't even look at the whorls of hair or the back of the heads of Shen Tan, Wang Shao, Xia Jie and others.
His narrow and affectionate eyes only stayed on Xia Yiqing, "What's wrong, baby?"
When Wang Shao heard this voice that was so sweet that it touched his bones, he felt so regretful that his intestines turned green.
He shouldn't have believed what that brainless woman, Xia Jie, said, saying that the Third Master had lost his feelings for Xia Yiqing. It was obvious that they were doing very well!
Xia Jie stood next to Wang Shao. Although she was afraid, her eyes were glued to Qi Hanmu and she couldn't move away.
Such a handsome and powerful person should belong to her, Xia Jiet.
Thinking about her own face, Xia Jie's eyes showed a secret joy. She and Xia Yiqing were cousins, and after all, they were about 50% similar.
The Third Master is the one who is least interested in women. He must be tired of playing with Xia Yiqing after playing with her for so long, but she, Xia Jie, has a chance.
Thinking of this, Xia Jie lifted her big waves and took a swaying step, "Third Master, I have something to tell you."
Luo Miao, who was standing nearby and worried about having nothing to do, immediately stopped her and said, "Sorry, Miss, you don't have an appointment."
"Please be flexible, little brother." Xia Jie blinked, trying to use her old trick of flirting to get away with it.
Luo Miao turned into an emotionless robot and just raised his hand to stop her. No matter what Xia Jie said, he did not waver at all.
What a joke! Doesn’t he know how much the Third Master cares about his wife?
If this woman is let in, what if the Madam misunderstands the Third Master and doesn't want him anymore? No, this woman can't get in. Luo Miao's expression became more serious. He has to protect the relationship between the Third Master and the Madam!
Seeing Xia Jie being humiliated, Wang Shao had an idea. His eyes rolled around and he was about to report Xia Jie when he saw the pretty girl leaning close to the cold man's ear and whispering a few words.
When she came closer, the first thing Qi Hanmu smelled was a slight smell of alcohol.
The girl didn't drink too much, but her lips were already dyed bright red by the wine, which looked alluring from a distance and confusing up close.
Qi Hanmu slowly moved his body to block other people's view of Xia Yiqing, and then raised one hand and placed it horizontally behind the girl.
Of course, he was the only one who could look after his little girl.
"Boss Qi," the girl's soft and tender voice was right beside his ear, with a bit of foxy cunningness and more of a soft and coquettish tone, as if she was deliberately trying to please him.
"They bullied me and wanted to take my best friend away. Can you help me?"
The restless hand climbed up to the back of Qi Hanmu's neck, and then another one came, which felt slightly hot, and it made Qi Hanmu's breathing slow down for a moment.
Looking at her eyes reflecting the tiny rays of light, Qi Hanmu slowly lowered his eyes and pinched the girl's earlobe with his slender fingertips, again and again.
She is always like this. She doesn't know how to ask for help when she is in trouble, but when her friends are in trouble, she will not hesitate to put aside past grudges, humble herself and act coquettishly to ask for help.
Xia Yiqing felt uncomfortable as her earlobe was being pinched. She groaned softly and then heard the man's hoarse voice rubbing her ear.
"Baby, you call me President Qi, so the matter you ask of me can only be resolved through President Qi."
How could Xia Yiqing not understand what he said now?
My twisted heart was now wavering. When I saw the vulnerability hidden deep in the man's eyes, which was not easy to detect, I felt as if I had been wandering for a long time and finally had a place to go.
Perhaps it was because the corners of Qi Hanmu's eyes were a little red, and he looked inexplicably pitiful. Xia Yiqing remembered a dog she had raised when she was a child. When the dog was forcibly sent away by her mother, tears were in the corners of its eyes, and it whimpered and struggled for a few times. Seeing Xia Yiqing being trapped in the corner by her father, the puppy understood something and stopped moving.
The big hand on the waist slowly moved towards the man. The scent of the man's woody perfume penetrated Xia Yiqing's nose, but she frowned almost imperceptibly.
This person has always been in poor health and cannot stand strong smells. She had forced herself to pretend not to smell the fragrance on his body before, but now that they were so close, she didn't have the opportunity.
"Third Master." She pursed her lips, lowered the corners of her beautiful eyes, and spoke in a soft tone, not looking into the man's eyes.
Xia Yiqing didn't know whether this trick would work or not. After all, it was always a waste of effort to act coquettishly to someone who didn't love you.
Qi Hanmu's hand moved up from her waist, slid to her ear, and gently tucked a strand of her hair back behind her ear.
His movements were gentle, but his words were not pleasant to the ear. "Qingqing, if you don't know how to act like a spoiled child, you can learn more."
A blush crept up Xia Yiqing's cheeks. She was actually the type who was naturally good at acting like a spoiled child. After all, her parents never gave her a chance. They only asked her to be independent and help the family when she grew up. They would never let her act like a spoiled child at will.
Xia Yiqing's half-baked ability to act like a spoiled child was something she figured out on her own during a few intimate moments with Qi Hanmu.
But in front of everyone, Xia Yiqing really didn't want to do that.
"Third Master," she was too embarrassed to raise her head, and the fingertips of her left hand unconsciously rubbed the corner of her clothes. The corners of her eyes, which had not turned red even when she was bullied just now, were now slightly moist, like the morning dew on the petals, crystal clear. The wind blew, the petals swayed slightly, and the dewdrops danced with them, which was very pitiful.
"It's still outside."
"Um."
Qi Hanmu's response was very concise, just like him, always standing above the clouds, on the top of the mountain, quietly watching all living beings climb the stairs, panting, blaming each other, shirking responsibility, and framing each other, but never taking any action. Only when things got out of hand would people ask him to judge, and whether he would come to make a fair decision or not depended on Mr. Qi Sanye's mood.
Mr. Qi Sanye has a good temper all year round, but this is more terrifying than those violent people.
He was like a lion quietly patrolling his territory, who had strayed into the territory of herbivores. He retracted his claws and fangs, as if he didn't care about anything. But everyone in Jiangcheng knew that there was nothing Mr. Qi couldn't do or get that he wanted.
No one except Xia Yiqing and himself knew that the seemingly cold and aloof Mr. Qi would, when he was aroused, put all her clothes on the bed like a little animal building a nest, sniffing them carefully before he would fall asleep peacefully.
This is also why Xia Yiqing's clothes always disappeared for no reason. She accidentally passed by Qi Hanmu's bed and felt that they were familiar. She pulled them and found that they were her own clothes. That's how she caught him doing such childish behavior.
Knowing that the man would not give up if she didn't say something, Xia Yiqing bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, pursed her lips, and whispered in the man's ear, "I, I'll give you a name, isn't that enough?"
