Chapter 806: Shocking Change! (Fourth update)
Ruan Qi knew that time was running out. After changing into her performance clothes, she took off her high heels, put on her slippers, and rushed into the bathroom with her clothes lifted up.
After taking care of her three urgent needs, she washed her hands, then pushed the door open and walked out with Mo Lan, dragging her skirts.
Suddenly, a figure flew past the bathroom door at an extremely fast speed.
Then, crash!
A bottle of red liquid was poured over his head.
Ruan Qi's performance costume is a specially made ink-wash style long skirt. If it is splashed with red liquid, the skirt will definitely be ruined.
There were only five minutes left before the performance began. If the clothes were ruined, it would be impossible to find another one that would absolutely match the performance style in such a short time.
Ruan Qi's first reaction was to protect her skirt.
She stepped back quickly.
Mo Lan also reacted and quickly stepped forward to stop the little girl.
However, someone was one step faster than her. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Ruan Qi and held her tightly in his arms with his long arms.
Ruan Qi smelled the familiar cold pine scent.
She subconsciously wanted to look up, but heard a "crash" sound——
The red liquid fell, a small part of it was shaken off by Mo Lan with her coat, and the other half was all spilled on the back of the man who was protecting her.
Ruan Qi's expression suddenly changed.
"Jiujiu!"
She hurriedly pushed Xi Jiu away and turned to look at his back.
The man's expensive suit jacket was completely soaked, and most of his pants were soaked as well. The black fabric clung to his skin, highlighting the muscular lines of his legs and waist, making him look wild and alluring.
Ruan Qi quickly looked around.
Fortunately, there was no one else.
She breathed a sigh of relief quietly and put her little head close to Xi Jiu to smell him.
Xi Jiu was amused by the little girl's actions.
He curled his lower lip, and the hostility in his eyes turned into tenderness.
"Don't be afraid, baby. It's probably just ordinary water. It's not corrosive or poisonous."
Having said that, Ruan Qi couldn't relax.
Fortunately, it was just ordinary water. If it was a corrosive liquid, Xi Jiu’s back would be ruined!
She looked at the pool of red liquid on the ground, a cold gleam in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
"Sister Lan, did you see the person who splashed water?"
"No." Mo Lan shook his head. "That person was too fast. He must have been guarding the door for a long time."
The moment Ruan Qi pushed the door open, the water splashed over.
The moment the water was splashed, the man disappeared without a trace.
It was obvious that this was premeditated.
Ruan Qi's eyes grew even colder. Just as she was about to speak, the phone in Mo Lan's hand suddenly rang.
Mo Lan: "Brother Chen asked us to go back immediately, there are only three minutes left."
Ruan Qi frowned and looked at Xi Jiu worriedly.
"I'm fine." Xi Jiu kissed her forehead gently. "I brought spare clothes. Assistant Mu will be here soon. Baby, just focus on your performance. I'll take care of this."
The man's words were like a reassurance, calming Ruan Qi's uneasy heart.
She gave a few more instructions, then hurried away with Mo Lan, holding up her skirt.
After Ruan Qi left, Xi Jiu's gentle black eyes suddenly turned cold.
He turned his head, his violent gaze falling on the pool of red liquid on the ground, his narrow black eyes narrowed dangerously.
Half a minute later, Assistant Mu came quickly with a suit in his arms.
"BOSS."
"Investigate." Xi Jiu's voice was cold and bloodthirsty, "Whoever splashed Xiao Qi with water? Dig him out even if you have to dig three feet underground!"
