Chapter 21: Breaking Up When the Voice Came Out...
As soon as this voice came out, the emotion called "sorrow" instantly filled the entire box.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the self-pity in the man's words, as if he was blaming himself for not being able to serve Xia Yiqing well and letting her find someone else.
As soon as the words fell, not only Xia Yiqing was stunned, but Qin Fei and the others in the room were also dumbfounded.
Qin Fei's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He was so stupid, really. He only knew that the Third Master was a love-sick person and thought that the Third Master would not show mercy to this little male model, but he never thought that the Third Master Qi, who was above everyone else in Jiangcheng, would actually be jealous of other men.
The kind that is very obvious.
“Ah, I…”
Xia Yiqing originally wanted to say "How could I?", but the man was too close, and his slightly hot breath drifted against her earlobe with her breath.
In the invisible darkness, the tips of Xia Yiqing's ears were stained pink.
She looked up and found that there was no grievance in the man's eyes, but clearly a storm that was about to blow.
The corners of the man's mouth curled up, as if he was smiling but not smiling, revealing a bit of coldness that made people shudder.
"Yes," Xia Yiqing was frightened by the violence in the man's eyes, and quickly shrugged her shoulders and continued to follow his words.
"I only called you, ahem, you, please don't disturb our good relationship. Go away."
I thought that after saying this, anyone with a brain and ears would understand.
I don’t know if the little male model was stupid or not afraid of death, but he actually squeezed out a few tears.
"It's okay, sister. I'm very good. Let me and my brother help you. You take care of my brother first, and I'll just wait by the side. As long as sister doesn't dislike me, I can do anything."
Xia Yiqing was really confused. "I told you to leave, didn't you hear me?" She subconsciously put her arm around Qi Hanmu's shoulders. "He and I are a serious couple, what are you doing here?"
Although she said that, Xia Yiqing's heart was pounding.
Given this guy's stubbornness, he wouldn't really say "join you", right?
Fortunately, a terrified voice sounded outside, which half saved Xia Yiqing's life, "Xiao Lan, there are distinguished guests inside, get out quickly, don't rush!"
Although Xia Yiqing really wanted to say "It's too late", he had already made the Third Master so angry that he was talking nonsense.
But the man who lowered his head and leaned on Xia Yiqing's neck was particularly well-behaved. Looking from above, he had smooth black hair, delicate and white skin on his neck, a slightly raised back, and his shoulders rose and fell slightly with his breathing. It was quite a beautiful sight.
Strange, Xia Yiqing barely suppressed the desire to scratch her head.
Why does Qi Hanmu look like he doesn't want to pursue the matter?
But when the "doll" in her arms spoke, Xia Yiqing knew that she was overthinking.
His phoenix eyes, which usually frightened people, were now misty, like a lake in the middle of a forest in the early morning, shimmering yet bottomless.
"We," the man's Adam's apple moved up and down, his eyelids drooped, as if he was embarrassed, or as if he was cautiously testing the waters.
"A couple?"
Seeing the usually arrogant man snuggling in her arms, looking very insecure and timid as he asked for status from her, Xia Yiqing felt inexplicably dry in the mouth.
"Well, this, this..."
A slightly cool index finger gently blocked Xia Yiqing's lips, without going deep, just pressing lightly on the outside and then releasing it.
The expectations on the man's face turned into humility, grievance and forbearance.
His shoulders trembled slightly, his breathing became a little disordered, his right hand clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, his eyes seemed to be filled with bloodshot, a scarlet color that was in stark contrast to his porcelain-white skin. The extreme white and red overlapped with each other, reflecting the man's gorgeous yet decadent appearance, making him inexplicably feel a little more broken.
Xia Yiqing didn't dare to hold him tightly, for fear that she would accidentally break him.
"Third Master," the manager's voice trembled. He just didn't keep an eye on her for a moment and let Xiao Lan run away. Why did she run to where this master was? As a result, the manager felt very guilty and could only stare at the shoes.
"It was my fault that Xiao Lan offended you due to my poor performance. Do you want him to apologize to you?"
As soon as the manager finished speaking, Xiao Lan knelt down with a thud, and her face turned pale.
He only knew that the woman in the box was of some importance, but he never imagined that she was the Third Master's woman.
Thinking about how she had just snatched the woman from Third Master, Xiao Lan kowtowed repeatedly, regretting her decision. "Third Master, Third Master, it was my fault for not recognizing a great man. Please forgive me. I won't dare to do that again."
The farce was about to unfold again, but Qi Hanmu's eyes were still red, but his voice was calm, "Noisy."
He is using this to gain sympathy from Qingqing, why would an outsider come and disturb him?
The manager could only roll away trembling, leaving Xiaolan alone with a bleeding forehead.
Xia Yiqing pursed her lips tightly, unable to beg for mercy for Xiao Lan, but when she heard the sound of the kowtows going on, she felt vaguely uneasy.
Looking at Qi Hanmu who had restrained all his claws in front of her just to seek a little mercy, Xia Yiqing finally reached out to him.
"Let's go home."
She felt that the back of Qi Hanmu's hand was slightly hot, and his breathing was a little hotter than usual.
Seeing his porcelain-white cheeks stained with blood, Xia Yiqing admitted that she was more nervous than seeing Xiao Lan kowtow.
Could it be that this person didn't receive the IV drip properly, ran here in the dim light, and was disturbed for a long time, so he caught a fever?
"Yeah." The man responded, lowering his head slightly, and his defiant eyebrows turned into a gentle arc.
But he didn't move.
As soon as Xia Yiqing tried to get up from his legs, he tightened his hand around her waist.
Xia Yiqing had no choice but to hook her arm around his neck and coax him softly, "Carry me back, okay?"
Qin Fei, who heard the whole thing from behind, was speechless.
The Third Master is still able to hold Xia Yiqing, but that is all thanks to his strength.
But the next second, the man's slender and strong arms held the girl steadily and walked slowly out.
The black-clad bodyguards also followed suit, slowly leaving the box like a tide, following the Third Master's steps.
Qi Hanmu stopped when he passed by Xiaolan, whose head was bruised.
The manager's face became panicked, and Xiao Lan stopped bowing her head and slowly raised her eyes, but the moment she saw Xia Yiqing, she shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.
"Don't you want to serve your 'sister'?"
Qi Hanmu spoke in a calm tone, with no fluctuations in his intonation.
The aura around him was heavy, and the pressure was almost condensed into substance, making people feel breathless for no reason.
"No, I don't dare anymore," Xiao Lan felt as if she was a small animal in the jungle, being stared at by a tiger in the dense forest. The oppressive feeling hung in her heart, her heart was squeezed and painful, and her head hit the ground again.
"Third Master, how dare I compete with you for someone? I overestimate my abilities. I have a seriously ill mother, and I have no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
Qi Hanmu lowered his eyes, and there was no emotion in his phoenix eyes.
There are countless sufferings among people in the world. He is not God and does not have the patience to listen to them one by one.
What's more, the person on the other side was the one who was competing with him for Qingqing.
After seeing the obvious worry on the girl's face, he changed the words "Take her away" to "Tell Luo Miao if you need any help. He will contact the hospital for your mother, and the Qi family will cover the expenses."
With the tip of his tongue against the side of her face, Qi Hanmu looked carefully and found that there was indeed a gleam in the little girl's eyes.
A pair of soft hands wrapped around his neck. Before Qi Hanmu could react, the unique fragrance of the little girl surrounded him softly.
The little girl was so bold that she kissed the third master of the Qi family on the forehead.
There was also a sweet "Third Master, thank you, you are so kind."
Qi Hanmu looked at her steadily. Seeing that the girl had a sweet look in her eyes, her almond eyes were black and round like grapes, and she even smiled at him, he suddenly felt relieved.
It seems that if Qingqing is a little more "generous", she might like him a little more.
His requirements were not high. It was enough for Qingqing to think of him and see him when he was useful.
Xiao Lan kept saying "Thank you, Third Master" as she was left behind by the man's resolute steps.
Qingqing said "go home", their home.
This is more important than anything else.
The car drove very smoothly.
Perhaps because he had tasted success, Qi Hanmu did not "harass" her along the way and just closed his eyes to rest.
Arriving at the garage under the small apartment, Xia Yiqing unbuckled her seat belt and found the man still leaning against the seat, his long eyelashes motionless, looking like he was asleep.
She made a "hush" gesture to keep quiet and stepped out of the car quietly.
No matter what disease you have, it is always a good idea to get more rest.
Thinking this, Xia Yiqing decided to get out of the car and stretch her arms and legs.
She still couldn't bear to wake him up.
"Buzz—"
Xia Yiqing's cell phone rang without any warning.
It says "Mom" on it.
This time, Xia Yiqing hesitated for nearly ten seconds before answering the phone.
"Qingqing, you know that project is seriously in deficit, right? Mom is begging you to ask President Qi to help Xia's. Your father is desperate and can't survive."
After hearing what her mother said, Xia Yiqing didn't feel sad about what her father did, but the child was soft-hearted towards her mother after all.
She hesitated and said, "But the Third Master doesn't like me that much, and my father said that the company will be given to my cousin."
"Oh, that's nonsense. You are mom and dad's child. What belongs to mom and dad is yours. Why don't you understand?"
It was rare for Xia Yiqing to hear her mother defend her. Her palms were wet as she held the phone, and her eyes felt a little warm.
"Mom, did Dad ask you to come forward? This time it was Dad who made the mistake and he should take the responsibility."
"Qingqing, no matter what, he is still your father. Come home tomorrow and I'll make you something delicious."
When she heard the word "go home", Xia Yiqing frowned and subconsciously bit her inner lip with her teeth, thinking that she would give up.
And just behind her, a voice suddenly came, with a familiar tone.
"Qingqing, who are you talking to on the phone?"
It’s Qi Hanmu.
Xia's mother on the other end of the phone yelled, "You said Mr. Qi didn't care about you, but now he's here to find you. Hurry up and talk to him about our family's lack of money. Mr. Qi is wealthy and has feelings for you, so he definitely won't stand by and watch you die!"
The excitement and hope in her tone could not be concealed. Out of respect for Qi Hanmu's question "Who are you calling?", Xia Yiqing turned on the speakerphone as soon as he finished speaking.
So much so that Xia's mother's blatant voice asking for money was so undisguised that it echoed through the loudspeaker in half of the underground garage.
"Uh, this..."
Xia Yiqing was about to speak when she found there was nothing to argue about.
It is an indisputable fact that parents love money.
Otherwise, why would they sell themselves to the Qi family and offer themselves to Qi Hanmu three years ago in order to overcome the company's difficulties?
Being looked at by Qi Hanmu's pair of phoenix eyes like mirrors, it felt like being observed clearly, which was not a pleasant feeling.
Xia Yiqing simply gave up and said, "Look, my family will only suck your blood. Let's separate."
