Chapter 23 He didn't want to see Shangguan Qing being wronged



Cheng Ji suppressed his anger, sent a message to Li Yang, and sat next to Shangguan Qing.

Seeing that her expression when she looked at Mu Cheng was not right, "Do you know him?"

Shangguan Qing shook his head, his eyes still on the man, "I don't know him, but I met him once this afternoon."

The man with the scarf I met in the coffee shop turned out to know Cheng Ji, what a coincidence?

Cheng Ji was a little confused, "You went to the mall this afternoon?"

The distance between the airport and the shopping malls in the city center is not a little far.

Mu Cheng explained, "I made an appointment to meet someone. By the way, my name is Mu Cheng, and I live nearby."

Shangguan Qing gave a polite fake smile, "Shangguan Qing, you are his...guest."

She took out a silk scarf from her coat pocket and placed it in front of him, "I soiled this one, I'll buy you a new one."

The material of this scarf cannot be washed, so I can only buy a new one and return it to him.

Mu Cheng took the scarf, folded it and put it in his bag, "No need, I have more at home."

Cheng Ji watched the interaction between the two coldly. He sat next to them, seeming a little redundant.

"You just returned home, you should go back and rest early."

Mu Cheng understood what he meant and didn't want to stay any longer. He stood up and said goodbye to them.

Before leaving, he asked Shangguan Qing, "Are you the owner of Shangguan Qing Antique Shop?"

"yes."

He nodded slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised in just the right arc, making people feel friendly, "It's okay, goodbye."

......

After Mu Cheng left, Shangguan Qing went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.

Cheng Ji was sitting in the living room when he received Li Yang's message. His eyes suddenly darkened.

[Mr. Cheng, I found out that Miss Shangguan met Ms. Wen Ruwan in the mall today, and she was the one who spilled the coffee.]

She also returned home...

Cheng Ji put away his phone and told Uncle Yan, "Uncle Yan, when she comes downstairs later, tell her that I have something to take care of and will be back later."

Uncle Yan, "Okay, Mr. Cheng."

......

Cheng Ji got in the car, left the Cheng residence and headed straight for the Qin family.

With Aunt Wen's character, she knew that Qin Qianyue had fallen from grace at the hands of Shangguan Qing and would definitely seek revenge.

Just like before in college, someone competed with Qin Qianyue for the position of student union president, but she was not elected.

Aunt Wen directly forced the other party's family to leave Beijing, and the student was forced to drop out of school. He did not return to school until Qin Qianyue graduated.

She has always been tough in her methods, and she is afraid that Shangguan Qing will be difficult to deal with in the future.

Along the way, Cheng Ji was worried and frowning, and the driver drove extra carefully for fear of upsetting him.

......

After arriving at Qin's house, I happened to meet Wen Ruwan coming back from the hospital.

When she saw Cheng Ji coming, she immediately went up to greet him.

"Aji, come and sit down. I saw your news overseas recently. You have made great progress in the medical field."

He is worthy of being her chosen future son-in-law.

Qualified and capable of standing next to Qianyue.

He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Aunt Wen, I came here this time to speak frankly. Regarding Shangguan Qing, I hope you can stop disturbing her life."

After saying this, Wen Ruwan's expression instantly became complicated.

She didn't expect Cheng Ji to talk to her so directly for an outsider.

The usual gentle smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded, replaced by an imperceptible chill.

She took a sip of tea and then stood up, her posture still upright and with unquestionable majesty.

She walked around Cheng Ji with her back to him.

The voice was cold and powerful. "Aji, don't forget that it was the Qin family who raised you. You should understand who are the family members you should care about."

Although the window paper between Qianyue and Cheng Ji has not been broken yet, there cannot be any accidents before that.

Qianyue must be with Cheng Ji.

His eyes were sharp as a torch as he turned around and looked directly at Wen Ruwan's back. There was a subtle tension in the air.

"I know the Qin family has done me a favor, but I also won't allow anyone to bully Shangguan Qing."

Wen Ruwan turned around angrily, "So? I spilled coffee on her today, are you going to spill it back?"

The next second, he poured a full cup of tea on himself.

"I'll take it for you this time. If she gets wronged by you again in the future, I'll get it back for her with interest."

Wen Ruwan's eyes flashed with surprise and displeasure, "You already like her?"

Did he like her... or was he grateful to her?

Cheng Ji no longer cared.

In short, he didn't want to see Shangguan Qing being wronged.

The matter had been made clear, so there was no need for him to stay any longer and he just got in the car and left the Qin family.

He finally had to say goodbye to this place.

......

Cheng's house.

Night is approaching.

Cheng Ji pushed the door open and walked in. Under the soft light of the living room, Shangguan Qing's figure looked particularly gentle.

She looked up at the sound, a trace of concern flashing in her eyes, "Is your hair wet?"

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards him.

Cheng Ji stopped and looked at her tenderly, "It's okay, it just rained a little bit."

After saying that, he touched his neck uncomfortably.

Shangguan Qing glanced at his hair, half believing and half doubting.

"By the way, tomorrow the group is going to develop a new project in another place. I need to go there in person to take a look. I may stay there for a few days. If you have anything, you can find Li Yang."

As he spoke, he took off his coat and gave it to the servant next to him.

Wouldn't she be unable to see anyone for several days?

How could that be possible? How could she fall in love with him when he was not around?

"You have to make a living when you go out. Don't you need a life assistant when you go out?"

Shangguan Qing stared at him with a pair of clean and clear eyes, imitating Youxuan's coquettish look very well.

The moment Cheng Ji looked at her, his eyes froze for a moment.

“I…may not—” be able to take you.

"Okay, if you didn't refuse, I'll take that as your consent. I'll go upstairs and pack my luggage."

Before he could refuse, Shangguan Qing made his own decision.

Then she turned around and went upstairs.

Cheng Ji watched her back disappear around the corner of the stairs, his eyes full of doting.

Uncle Yan walked forward and handed over a dry towel.

Cheng Ji took it and wiped his hair. His eyes gradually became colder, "Have you given the order?"

Uncle Yan bowed his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, everything has been done."

Ever since he found out in the afternoon that Mu Cheng had met Shangguan Qing, he had been feeling uneasy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He told Uncle Yan that if Mu Cheng wanted to visit Cheng's house, he should tell the doorman and servants to refuse him a visit.

As for my neighbor Mu Cheng, it’s enough to just deal with him occasionally, there’s no need to make close friends with him.

......

The next day, Youxuan got up early to have breakfast and saw Cheng Ji personally helping Shangguan Qing with his luggage.

"Sister Shangguan, are you going on a long trip? A trip for two?"

"Why don't you take me with you?"

At least he has the spiritual power to protect Lord Shangguan.

Shangguan Qing was speechless for a while. The term "tiger-headed and tiger-brained" must have been coined for him.

"I'm on a business trip for a few days. You take care of Cheng's house and the antique shop."

After Cheng Ji took all the luggage, he saw Youxuan’s breakfast on the table and thought of her empty stomach.

"Uncle Yan, pack a breakfast and some snacks for the car."
