Cheng Ji held her shoulders and shook her gently.

Shangguan Qing frowned and said weakly, "Don't shake it, I'm tired, let me take a rest..."

Hearing this, Cheng Ji had no choice but to let her go.

He supported himself on the bed with his elbows and slowly raised his body. He noticed the black blood on the ground beside the bed, then raised his hand to look at the palm of his hand and her actions just now.

Taking a series of circumstances together, he could only come to one conclusion: she saved him.

Cheng Ji got up from the bed and carried Shangguan Qing horizontally.

Shangguan Qing was startled by his action and subconsciously put his hands on his shoulders.

The two were so close that they could even sense each other's breathing.

"What are you going to do?" Shangguan Qing asked.

Although she has lived in the human world for a thousand years, she is still not used to close contact with people, just like now,

Cheng Ji coughed twice and looked away. "Since you are not feeling well, I will carry you to **."

"......"

The moment he put her down, Shangguan Qing deliberately pulled the collar of his pajamas.

I could vaguely see a pattern on his chest. Although I couldn't see clearly what it was, it didn't matter. At least it wasn't completely blank.

“Knock knock!”

"Are you okay?"

The rapid knocks on the door were mixed with Qin Qianyue's anxious questioning.

She waited outside for a long time, but the person inside didn't come out. The most important thing was that she didn't like Cheng Ji being alone with other women.

Cheng Ji recognized it was his sister, "Come in."

The door was pushed open by Qin Qianyue, and everyone standing at the door was stunned by the scene before them.

Cheng Ji always kept his distance from the opposite sex. Even Qin Qianyue had never sat on his bed. However, now, a woman they didn't know was sleeping on it blatantly.

Qin Qianyue felt a sour taste in her heart and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Brother! How can she sleep in your bed when you haven't figured out her origins? What if she was sent by that group of people?"

After saying that, she frowned and reached out to pull Shangguan Qing off the bed.

"Get down here!"

Cheng Ji stood up and stood in front of Shangguan Qing, pushing Qin Qianyue's hand away, with a serious expression, "She saved me, I can't be rude."

Qin Guotao next to her also held Qin Qianyue, signaling her not to be impulsive.

Cheng Ji turned around, put away his previous seriousness, and gave a gentle but distant look.

"Do you need anything? I'll do my best to satisfy you as long as I can, as a reward for saving me."

Shangguan Qing opened his eyelids nonchalantly and looked at Cheng Ji.

"Are you sure?" She turned her eyes and said, "What's the old saying? If someone saves your life, you should repay him with your body. Can you do it?"

Shangguan Qing's casual words shocked everyone in the room again.

In Beijing, and even in Country A, everyone knows that Cheng Ji of Cheng Group is a ruthless character who kills without blinking an eye.

Beneath his usually kind face is a cold-blooded nature that is almost insane.

After establishing the Cheng Group, Cheng Ji specialized in medical devices, providing treatment to many patients at low prices, and even set up a foundation to provide free treatment to cancer patients, thus taking a lot of capital.

In just five years, he had experienced a lot, including car accidents, poisoning, kidnapping, threats... There were countless women who wanted to get into his bed, but none of them succeeded.

The reason why he was not killed was that he was cruel to himself and even crueler to his opponents. He returned double what he had suffered.

And at this moment, Shangguan Qing actually dared to tease a living devil like him.

silence.

Deathly silence.

Even though Qin Qianyue, who was spoiled by him, didn't dare to speak, for fear of bumping into Cheng Ji's gun and getting into trouble.

Cheng Ji looked at Shangguan Qing expressionlessly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

The two of them were in a stalemate, as if there was no one around, with only their eyes intertwined.

"Can't do it?"

“…No.”

"Then why are you hesitating?"

He lowered his eyes, revealing an imperceptible sense of depression, "My background... does not allow it."

The two of them were discussing things as if no one was around, but Qin Qianyue, who had been holding back her anger, could no longer bear it.

"Brother! Why are you wasting your time talking to her? She just saved you by accident, who knows what she is thinking! Give her some money and send her away!"

So what if she saved a life? She would never allow other women to exist around Cheng Ji.

Qin Guotao also felt that this matter was inappropriate. "Ms. Shangguan, although you saved Cheng Ji, isn't it too much to ask him to be with you?"

"To force someone to do something against his will? Me?" Shangguan Qing sneered, "I think he is quite willing to do it."

Otherwise, he would refuse the next second after she asked the question, instead of hesitating and being unable to explain clearly.

If Cheng Ji hadn't been the only man she had met in thousands of years who might meet her requirements, she wouldn't have bothered to get involved with a mortal.

At this moment, Cheng Ji's mind was filled with his past experiences.

He looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I really can't do it. You are weak now, you can stay at Cheng's house for a while until you recover."

Maybe after she lives with him for a while and gets to know him better, she will give up.

After all, anyone he gets close to will never have a good ending.

From childhood to adulthood, without exception.

"Sir, no!" The housekeeper stepped forward to stop him. "Although she saved you, it's hard to guarantee that it wasn't deliberately arranged by that group of people in order to gain your trust."

Uncle Yan has been taking care of Cheng Ji since he was in high school and has long treated him as his own son.

Every word these people said flew into Shangguan Qing's ears like flies.

He keeps nagging and it's really annoying to listen to him.

"close--"

"That's enough! Doesn't what I say count now?"

Cheng Ji roared loudly, and no one dared to speak anymore.

Shangguan Qing herself didn't expect that he would defend her like this.

Cheng Ji turned to look at the housekeeper, "Uncle Yan, prepare the daily necessities that girls would use, and tell the servants in the house that Shangguan Qing will be a guest of the Cheng house from now on."

Uncle Yan had no choice but to listen to his arrangement, so he bent down slightly and responded, "Yes, sir."

He turned around and left the room to buy things.

It was the first time that Qin Qianyue saw her brother care about another woman. She was so angry that her face turned red and white. She bit her lower lip, as if she had suffered a great injustice. With a "click", she slammed the door and walked out.

"Qianyue!"

Qin Guotao wanted to call her, but when he turned around, she had already run away.

He sighed helplessly. Others might not know, but as a father, didn't he know what his daughter was thinking?

But Cheng Ji never had any other thoughts about her.

If you use your friendship in the wrong place, you will only suffer.

Qin Guotao and Dr. Shen saw that there was nothing for them to do, so they left the room one after another.

In the enclosed space, only Shangguan Qing, who was lying on the bed to recover his strength, and Cheng Ji, who was standing there, were left.

The two fell silent again...

The familiar deathly silence...

“Beep!”

Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table vibrated, breaking the awkwardness between the two.
