Chapter 24 Kidnapping Xia Yiqing opened her eyes and blinked. Good news...
Xia Yiqing opened her eyes and blinked her almond-shaped eyes.
Good news, the person approaching me is Qi Hanmu.
I don’t know whether it’s good news or bad news, but this guy seems to be a little clingy to her.
I saw a pair of hands reaching out from behind her, like a massage pad around her waist, slowly and unstoppably hugging her whole body.
The cold woody fragrance that was unique to Qi Hanmu was pervasive, drilling into her nose, and was extremely aggressive, almost paralyzing half of her body.
"You," Xia Yiqing swallowed her saliva, "What are you going to do?"
Qi Hanmu put his arm around her waist and rested his forehead on her neck. "No, I don't want a reward. I want one. You said so."
Perhaps he was really confused due to the fever, Qi Hanmu's words were very stuck and incoherent.
There was a hint of clingy and coquettishness in her voice, which diluted the subtle majesty that Qi Hanmu usually exuded as a superior.
Xia Yiqing was surprised that Qi Hanmu had this side to her. She paused for a moment before her brain started to work and she understood what he meant.
Well, the dignified Lord of Jiangcheng, Mr. Qi San, actually asked her for a reward just because he took medicine for his illness.
How can it not be considered a unique life experience?
I couldn't see the man's face, but I could hear his desire for the gift from his tone.
Xia Yiqing's eyes flashed, and the images of the children in the Jiangcheng Welfare Home appeared in her mind.
Some of them are autistic children or seriously ill. One morning, they were thrown at the door of the welfare home and bid farewell to their loved ones.
Some girls are even more pathetic. Even if they are healthy and smart, they are still abandoned in welfare homes just because they are girls.
Xia Yiqing was always patient when interacting with them.
Even if they are sometimes not very polite, she will not get angry easily.
Because she knew that no one had cared about them before, they naturally didn't know how to respond.
But Qi Hanmu...
Xia Yiqing frowned silently, bent down, opened the bedside table, and took out a box of chocolates. Why did Qi Hanmu remind her of the eager and timid eyes of those children in the welfare home?
There are very few rumors about the Qi family in Jiangcheng.
But the story of Qi Hanmu's illegitimate son taking the throne has persisted despite repeated bans.
Even if the relevant news is suppressed, it is always impossible to completely control people's mouths after dinner.
Rumor has it that Mr. Qi San was conceived by an ordinary woman after she had a romantic encounter with Mr. Qi.
There are many different opinions about Qi Hanmu's mother's background, but after all the guesses, it can be said that she is just a woman who is not presentable - although now she has become someone close to the old man of the Qi family.
People said that although Qi Hanmu was an illegitimate child, he showed amazing talent in his childhood. He was discovered by Old Man Qi and sent abroad for training. When he was about to reach adulthood, he was brought back to Jiangcheng.
All in all, although the third master of the Qi family was an illegitimate child, according to rumors, he was treated quite well.
Xia Yiqing had no intention of knowing these gossips.
But she knew a little about getting married.
She originally thought the rumor was unreliable.
But after moving into Yiyuan Garden, Xia Yiqing saw the priceless furnishings and the noble Third Master who was unforgettable after just one glance.
Only then did she feel that the rumors were true.
If Mr. Qi had not been pampered since childhood, how could he be so magnanimous?
Although they are standing on equal footing, they remind people of gods sitting in the clouds and make people dare not approach.
But why would he look so aggrieved and pitiful towards me?
Xia Yiqing felt that she might have been infected by Qi Hanmu. Her head was dizzy and she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Did he fall in love with me at first sight?
She thinks too highly of herself.
That’s the Third Master, he has all the women he wants.
Even if she wanted a man, Jiangcheng would probably have countless people flocking to her.
She, Xia Yiqing, is just an ordinary person.
"Here," Xia Yiqing's cheeks felt a little hot when she handed it over. After all, this was just a relatively cheap chocolate candy.
"award."
Looking at the "Yu Fu Ji" on it, Qi Hanmu took it, reached out and rummaged through it a few times, tilted his head, and his eyes fell on her loosely.
His cheeks were slightly red from the fever, and his lips were a little chapped and red. "Yu, Fu, Ji?"
Xia Yiqing's face became even hotter after hearing what he said, and she coughed strategically.
"It's okay, you can eat it."
The children in the welfare home would all smile after eating it and there were no bad reactions.
It should be fine if Qi Hanmu eats it.
Unexpectedly, Qi Hanmu lowered his head and did not say anything like "You give me such a cheap thing", but lifted the pillow and carefully hid it inside.
Xia Yiqing:?
What's going on? Are you hiding?
"You...don't want to eat?"
Qi Hanmu shook his head, a smile playing on the corner of his mouth. His voice was hoarse, which was unique to fever, but happiness could be seen overflowing from his eyebrows and eyes, adding a bit of warmth to his whole person.
"I can't bear to leave."
Xia Yiqing was shocked.
It's just a knock-off chocolate candy, not that serious.
"It's okay," she didn't know why she started to comfort this legendary person who had never suffered from hardship since childhood.
"It's very cheap. You can buy it at the convenience store for free."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yiqing added, "A small shop, well, it's just a smaller store. You know this, right?"
Qi Hanmu nodded, and looking at the little girl's excited expression, he curled his hands in the quilt again and again.
Qingqing hasn't changed.
Just like when she was a child, she likes and sympathizes with the weak.
With mist in his phoenix eyes, Qi Hanmu slowly put his cheek against Xia Yiqing's arm and said in a hoarse voice, "Dizzy."
Unable to bear the heart to refuse, Xia Yiqing touched his forehead.
It’s indeed a bit high.
For some unknown reason, Xia Yiqing touched the top of the man's head with her magical hands.
The texture was not as hard as imagined. The hair of the rumored cold and unkind Third Master was excessively soft.
"Go to sleep."
Her voice seemed to have magical power, like some ancient spell, chanting softly beside Qi Hanmu, soothing the panic rising in the man's heart.
He clearly just wanted to cooperate and close his eyes, but when Qi Hanmu's eyes turned dark, his tense consciousness seemed to slide into the abyss and slowly sank to the bottom.
Watching Xia Yiqing coming out, Luo Miao's expression changed several times, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Xia Yiqing stopped.
"Well, ma'am, your assistant is all cleared now. How about you stay a little longer and keep the gentleman company?"
Sensing Xia Yiqing's hesitation, Luo Miao took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Mr. likes you very much. If he wakes up and can't see you, he will probably be upset again."
Xia Yiqing did not agree.
But she had to admit that because of Luo Miao's words, she felt a secret expectation in her heart.
No one had ever needed her so much.
Mom and Dad won’t, the company won’t, but Su Huanhuan might, but besides her, Su Huanhuan has many good sisters.
In addition, her relationship with Qi Hanmu has changed several times, so she doesn't dare to contact Su Huanhuan casually.
This is to avoid the situation where she goes out with Su Huanhuan and Qi Hanmu insists on following them, causing him to feel unwell again.
"Okay."
Xia Yiqing turned around to go to the master bedroom, but then seemed to remember something and turned into the second bedroom.
Surprise flashed in Luo Miao's eyes. Could it be that Madam is willing to live with the Third Master?
But soon, Xia Yiqing came out with a bag of candy in simple packaging and inferior color in her hand.
The brand is "Yu Fu Ji", which is not obviously a pirated copy.
"Here," the fake chocolate candy enlarged in front of Luo Miao, "keep this safe. Remember to give it to the Third Master when he wakes up. Let him eat it. Don't put it under his pillow."
"I understand." In fact, Luo Miao was confused.
The next day.
The first ray of morning light breaks through the sky and shines on the earth, then calls friends and reflects a sky full of rosy clouds.
Long before the alarm clock rang, Xia Yiqing sat up with a pair of panda eyes.
For some reason, she always felt uneasy in her heart, as if something was about to happen.
The house was small, with two bedrooms and a living room. Xia Yiqing had just yawned as she walked out the door when she bumped into Luo Miao, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.
"He's not awake yet?"
Luo Miao's face showed a hint of hesitation. "The gentleman had a fever again last night. Doctor Qin gave him a sedative and he fell asleep."
Although Luo Miao's hesitant behavior was a bit suspicious, Xia Yiqing just nodded to indicate that she understood and did not delve into it.
Seeing her leave, Luo Miao asked, "Madam, the Third Master hasn't woken up yet. How about you wait a little longer?"
"No need," Xia Yiqing changed her shoes and pressed the doorknob. "It's not easy for your Third Master to sleep. You've worked hard. Let the bodyguards take a break."
Luo Miao responded with "yes" and asked half of the bodyguards to withdraw.
Of course he didn't dare call them all back.
Otherwise, if the Madam is in any danger, the Third Master will not let him go.
There was no traffic jam on the way to the company. Xia Yiqing was in a good mood and hummed a song.
Xiao An was waiting for her at the door. When she saw Xia Yiqing, her eyes turned red. "Boss Xia, if you hadn't, I would have..."
"Okay," Xia Yiqing opened her arms, hugged Xiao An, and then let go.
"There are so many people watching us, let's go back to the office and talk."
When she arrived at the office, Xia Yiqing pinched her eyebrows, her heart was beating a little irregularly. She looked up and saw that the sky was overcast and it seemed like it was going to rain.
I don’t know how long it will rain.
Xiao An adjusted his state and took a pile of documents for Xia Yiqing to review.
"Boss Xia," Xiao An raised his hand and whispered in Xia Yiqing's ear,
"The chairman and another vice president, Xia, are here too. They seem to be having a meeting. Do you want to go and take a look?"
There was a pile of documents that she couldn't even finish reading. Xia Yiqing only had time to ask, "Isn't this a shareholders' meeting?"
"That shouldn't be it."
"Okay," Xia Yiqing lowered her head after hearing the answer and plunged into the sea of documents again. "I won't go. You go and find out what's going on."
Xiao An left the office with a "clattering" pace. Although the document was progressing smoothly, Xia Yiqing felt inexplicably nervous.
She took the opportunity to take a break and went to the teahouse to get some water, but found that no one was there.
It was almost noon, so it was normal that no one was around.
However, Xia Yiqing frowned. Aren't there always a few people in the company who love to eat instant noodles? Why don't they come to get water?
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…
It was as if everyone else had vanished from the face of the earth. Xia Yiqing walked all the way back without seeing a single person.
She pursed her lips. Perhaps everyone had gone to the meeting?
Once you are nervous, your primitive physiological needs cannot be concealed.
Realizing that she hadn't been to the toilet for almost the entire morning, Xia Yiqing put the coffee cup on the table in the tea room and turned to go into the bathroom.
Just as Xia Yiqing finished flushing the toilet and came out to wash her hands, the entire bathroom reached an extreme silence.
Her heart skipped a beat and Xia Yiqing raised her eyes. The scene reflected in the mirror made her scalp tingle.
