As Ming Qiancheng reached for the cup in front of him, Li Ji quickly looked away. When she walked to the window, she secretly glanced back at Ming Qiancheng. Seeing that the man seemed unaware that she was peeking, Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
Ming Qiancheng took in all of Li Ji's actions. While Li Ji was secretly pleased that she hadn't been caught peeking, Ming Qiancheng's lips curled into a faint smile.
After the window was opened, Li Ji hesitated for a moment, then walked to Ming Qiancheng's side. "I've opened the window, so what?"
"Didn't you want to leave here?"
Ming Qiancheng's gaze fell lightly on Li Ji, and he asked softly.
"Yes, I just want to leave here."
Li Ji nodded and was about to sit down when her waist suddenly tightened.
She was pulled into a stranger's arms, and her nose was filled with a fresh, clean scent.
Liji's brain momentarily forgot how to function; this was the first time in her life she had ever been so intimate with a man.
Before she could even process what was happening, Ming Qiancheng grabbed her and rushed out the window.
Li Ji was lifted into the air, with rows of rooftops beneath her feet. The cool breeze that greeted her slowly brought her back to her senses.
She was stunned for a moment, and before she could even process what was happening, her little hands wrapped around Ming Qiancheng's waist!
This realization made Li Ji blush instantly. As she tried to pull her hand back, she glanced down at her feet, and the height made her legs go weak.
Li Ji couldn't help but swallow hard, abandoning the idea of pulling her hand back. Oh well, she'd just pretend she hadn't come to her senses yet. She could deal with letting go later.
After flying for a while, Ming Qiancheng carried Li Ji to the ground. They had probably been in the air for a long time, because when Li Ji stood on the ground again, she was a little unsteady on her feet and subconsciously reached out to grab Ming Qiancheng's clothes.
When she realized what was happening, she quickly withdrew her hand and looked up at Ming Qiancheng, only to meet his smiling eyes.
Li Ji's heart pounded even faster. She bit her lower lip and said, "You...you're just going to take me away like this?"
"otherwise?"
Ming Qiancheng's lips curled slightly as he leaned a few steps closer to Li Ji, startling her so much that she recoiled a step. Seeing this, Ming Qiancheng raised an eyebrow. "Are you suggesting I sell you out?"
"..."
Ming Qiancheng's answer surprised Li Ji, and what was even more ridiculous was that she actually found it somewhat reasonable.
"You know perfectly well that you're the cash cow of this building now. If I were to sell you, I might lose money."
Ming Qiancheng straightened up, feeling that he had had enough fun and it was time to get down to business.
As he was about to leave, Li Ji noticed and quickly stepped forward to grab Ming Qiancheng's sleeve. "Where are you going?"
When his clothes were tugged, Ming Qiancheng stopped and glanced at Li Ji, but said nothing.
However, Li Ji saw through Ming Qiancheng's thoughts with that look. She frowned and asked, "You paid me to pick you up today, so I have to follow you tonight!"
"The money hasn't been paid yet."
Li Ji was at a loss for words when Ming Qiancheng answered.
She had planned to stick to Ming Qiancheng tonight and never leave his side, but who knew he hadn't even given her the money yet?
Not only did they not pay her, but they also just brought her out like that??
Li Ji couldn't help but imagine how dark and gloomy the madam's face would be when she realized something was wrong the next day.
Thinking of this, Li Ji's body trembled violently.
