Chapter 48: Zhang Ji visits Shangguan Qing in the middle of the night



Shangguan Qing's eyes turned, and he righteously retorted, "Is it not possible to be interested?"

"...That's not the case." He was a little surprised.

After sending Shangguan Qing to the antique shop, he took a car back to Cheng Group.

In the car, he immediately told Li Yang, "Arrange to go to Sunshine Orphanage tomorrow."

"Yes, Mr. Cheng." Li Yang nodded slightly.

He really wanted to know why she suddenly cared about it?

......

In the afternoon, it is always a bit chilly when you step into the seaside in early autumn.

Shangguan Qing was sitting on a recliner in a thin outfit, facing the choppy sea.

My mind is empty.

"Sir, you said you are so frail now, why don't you wear something thicker?" Youxuan walked over grumbling.

He crossed his arms and stared at her.

"Do you still think you have spiritual power and a body strong enough to outlast two cows?"

The tone was quite like that of an elder brother disciplining his younger sister.

"Tsk!" She glared back at him, "You're bullying me because I don't have any spiritual power to deal with you, right?"

Youxuan suddenly became timid, "I don't dare."

In the blink of an eye, he had a thick blanket in his hand and handed it to Shangguan Qing, "Cover yourself, sir. You still have two days to make it."

"Look! It's right here!"

I don't know where the sound came from, but it got louder and louder as it got closer and closer.

Shangguan Qing glanced diagonally behind him, and Youxuan also looked towards the source of the sound.

A large group of middle-aged women came running over, including a few young women.

They were holding black plastic bags with no idea what was inside, and they were running straight towards them.

The momentum is grand and menacing.

You can tell at first glance that he is not a good person!

"Oh my god!" Youxuan quickly pulled Shangguan Qing into the store, "Sir, you hide first, I'll take care of them!"

How dare you come and cause trouble for Lord Shangguan? You're looking for death!

He locked the door from outside with his spiritual power and stood at the door with his hands on his hips, like a guardian angel.

Shangguan Qing was speechless. She hadn't said anything yet.

Standing in front of the window, I saw a group of women gathered at the door of the antique shop, cursing at each other.

"Shangguan Qing! If you have the ability to seduce a man, then come out!"

"That's right! What's the point of hiding?"

Some women even stood up for Qin Qianyue, "How dare you act so arrogant in front of the wife? You are giving me face! Qianyue is well-mannered and won't punish you. We are here to deal with you, you bitch!"

"Who are you talking about with that stinky mouth?" Youxuan had the momentum of a shrew scolding in the street.

He put one hand on his waist and pointed at her viciously with the other.

The woman refused to give in, "You are a little brat who doesn't learn your lesson and is fooling around with a mistress. You are not a good person either!"

"Wow!" He rolled his eyes.

In the underworld, he has never lost when it comes to scolding people, so he just rolls up his sleeves and gets to work!

"What happened between my sister Shangguan and Qin Qianyue has nothing to do with you! You came here in a rage, could it be that your husband cheated on you?"

"And you!" He pointed at the middle-aged woman next to him, "Qin Qianyue didn't even go crazy to come here, so why are you crazy? Did you take her money? How much is it? I'll give you ten times as much!"

The woman’s eyes lit up and her voice stuttered, “Really…really?”

The women around her glared at her and she quickly changed her tune.

"We are just standing up for her! Let her out now!"

"Come out!" You Xuan paced back and forth at the door. "You can't take care of your own husbands all day, but you come to meddle in other people's business. You have nothing to do but eat your fill!"

"Did you see my sister Shangguan and Cheng Ji having sex with your own eyes?"

Shangguan Qing in the room felt a chill down his spine.

She actually slept with him...

You Xuan continued to complain, "Or did you hear Cheng Ji say that he liked Qin Qianyue? Others said it was a business marriage, a transaction, but you guys are crazy and are exaggerating it, calling her a mistress at every turn. How come you want to be one?"

It was the first time for these women to see a man who was so good at arguing with others, and they were immediately familiar with him.

You Xuan glared at them with disdain, "If you have the ability, take good care of your husband! Stop yelling and screaming here!"

One of the middle-aged women was almost in tears from being scolded, but she couldn't find any words to refute.

She reached into the black plastic bag, pulled out something unexpectedly and threw it at Youxuan.

"What is that? It stinks."

Youxuan looked down and saw that it was actually rotten eggs, with sticky liquid sliding down his clothes.

"Sisters, don't listen to him, beat him!"

In an instant, a rain of rotten eggs began to fall from the sky, heading straight towards Youxuan.

He raised his hand into the air, wanting to block it with his spiritual power, but he remembered that his ability was not yet to the point of erasing people's memories, and if he was not careful, a supernatural incident would occur.

He had no choice but to retract his spiritual power and use his body to receive it.

"Youxuan, open the door!"

Shangguan Qing saw that this group of women were determined not to give up until they achieved their goal, and he knew that there would be no solution unless he stepped in.

"No, if I open it, they will hit you." Youxuan refused firmly.

Suddenly, a group of bodyguards in black surrounded the women.

Faced with these tall, muscular men, their momentum quickly weakened.

"What are you doing?" the woman standing in the middle asked bravely.

A man's voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

"Nothing, just asking you to leave, or I call the police to have you leave?"

Shangguan Qing stood at the window and could tell who the voice belonged to.

There was no relief on his face after the trouble was solved, but instead he felt more irritated.

Mu Cheng strode forward in full view of everyone.

Youxuan was puzzled, isn't this the man who is pestering Lord Shangguan?

How did he know she was in trouble?

You came just in time.

"Are you still not leaving?" Mu Cheng growled.

The women present knew how to handle the situation and dispersed quickly.

Youxuan opened the door for Shangguan Qing only after he saw the women had gone far away.

"Sir..." He lowered his head, looking apologetic.

That was the first time he refuted Shangguan Qing. As a subordinate of the Netherworld, he violated the principle of "only obeying Shangguan Qing".

"It's okay." Shangguan Qing patted his shoulder, "Go in and change your clothes."

She walked around him and came in front of Mu Cheng.

"What do you want from me?" she said in a cold voice.

Mu Cheng put his hands in his pockets and walked to her side. "I saw the comments online and was worried that you were not doing well, so I came to see you."

"Thank you, no need." She sighed softly, "Thank you just now, I owe you one."

The sea breeze suddenly increased its offensive.

The wind blew on Shangguan Qing's back, making her spine chill.

Mu Cheng took off his suit jacket and wanted to put it on her.

Shangguan Qing took a step back and refused with his actions.

His hand froze in mid-air, a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes, and he withdrew his hand angrily.

"Since you owe me a favor, can you do me a favor?" he asked.

Shangguan Qing said calmly, "You said it's within my ability."

"My parents are coming to my place tomorrow, so..." He rolled his Adam's apple up and down, a little hesitant, "I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend again."

Isn't Mu Cheng's residence the house next to Cheng's?

What if I happen to meet Cheng Ji...

"Is it not possible?" he asked, "Just deal with them for one day, just one day."

Shangguan Qing was a little conflicted.

"I just said it's within my ability. This isn't difficult." He complained somewhat aggrievedly.

Now that things have come to this, what else can she say?

Shangguan Qing closed his eyes and exhaled, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

......

It was late at night.

Cheng Ji drove to the beach alone.

Worried that Shangguan Qing would hear the sound of the car engine, he parked the car on the side of the road far away from the antique shop.

He walked against the sea breeze, enduring the pain of being shaved, and walked firmly to the door of the store.

Shangguan Qing always sleeps on the sofa in the store, and these offerings around her can give her a sense of security.

Youxuan transformed back into his original form of white tiger and lay on the floor next to her.

It was pitch dark around the store.

The moon is again obscured by clouds tonight, blocking out the moonlight.

Cheng Ji walked to the door of the store in the dark and kicked something.

With a "bang", something fell to the ground.

Shangguan Qing heard the noise and suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the door with sharp eyes.

"Don't worry, sir, it's Cheng Ji." Youxuan said in a low voice.

Before Cheng Ji even approached the antique shop, Youxuan already knew it was him.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qing's face changed slightly, with a complicated expression, and it was hard to guess what she was thinking.

Cheng Ji felt the door handle like a blind man feeling an elephant.

A sigh of relief.

Then he took something out of his coat pocket, but the moonlight was dim and he couldn't see clearly what it was.

He squatted down and stuffed the thing in through the crack in the door.

Then he stood up and left with a sense of relief, looking back from time to time.

Youxuan reminded her, "My lord, he left."

"Well, go to sleep."

Shangguan Qing slowly closed his eyes again.

I slept very restlessly that night.

The dream was still filled with the same bloody scenes as before, with flames of war raging everywhere. Black smoke from the beacon fires rose up in the air, dyeing the whole place black.

All she heard were cries for help, wailing, and a man's calm voice.

The next day.

The rising sun is already emerging on the other side.

Shangguan Qing opened his eyes tiredly.

She opened the door of the antique shop, and the bright light suddenly burst into her eyes. She rubbed her eyes subconsciously.

"My Lord, what is that at your feet?"

Youxuan was sitting at the front desk playing with his phone when he was suddenly blinded by a bright light reflected from the door.

She looked down, bent down and picked it up.

It was a necklace with a ten-carat diamond in the shape of a teardrop in the middle.

She thought of Cheng Ji’s visit last night.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, "It's a thank-you gift from someone, thanking me for attending the press conference."

I couldn't bring myself to look for her, so I had to come quietly in the middle of the night to give her the gift.

"What a fool." She looked at the necklace in her hand and smiled indulgently.

......

The other side.

Cheng Ji suddenly visited Sunshine Orphanage early in the morning.

The dean had not received the message and entertained him with a smile on his face, but his panic and anxiety could not be hidden and the muscles at the corners of his eyes were twitching.

"Dean Huang, you seem to be afraid of me?"
