In the end, I fainted in his arms.
I was bedridden for three whole days before I was finally able to get out of bed.
His walking posture is somewhat incorrect.
But my heart is always with my brother.
By the fourth day, I was enduring my physical discomfort.
I struggled to get out of bed and put on a thick down jacket.
Slippers slipped onto her fair, jade-like feet.
I can't wait to see how my brother is doing.
However, as soon as I ran to the Qin family's living room, I saw Qin Shisheng and Lin Zhibai sitting quietly at the door drinking tea.
They both looked at me at the same time.
There was delight! There was scrutiny!
A hint of displeasure began to flash in Qin Shisheng's eyes.
He got up and moved closer to me, whispering softly in my ear, "Are you able to get out of bed now?"
"I...I want to see my brother!" My voice was pleading.
He frowned and coldly uttered two words.
"go back!"
I looked at him, my eyes filled with grievance, tears welling up in my eyes, but I could only turn away.
Less than ten minutes later, he came in too.
"Who gave you permission to leave your bedroom?"
I hid on the bed in my bedroom, curled up in a ball.
I spoke softly, my voice choked with emotion.
"I just want to see my brother! I'm very worried about him."
His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, staring at me.
Did I give my consent?
Then Qin Shisheng put his arm around the woman's waist.
The person in front of me seemed much lighter.
She had also lost a lot of weight, and her eyes looked even more pitiful.
I leaned against him and said sweetly, "Ah Sheng, just let me see my brother for one last time!"
He stroked my hair.
"I really wanted to agree, but reason told me I couldn't!"
"Why?"
He pinched my nose with his hand.
"Because you don't listen to me!"
I lowered my head in disappointment.
"I'll let you visit him in a week."
He whispered in my ear, then lowered his head and kissed my lips.
"Let's go eat first. You look like you've lost a lot of weight!"
I was forced to go to dinner with him.
—
That night, I went with him to the largest nightclub in Shengcheng—Night Comes to the World.
I was wearing a light blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze.
He wore a snow-white down jacket over it.
A touch of simple yet sophisticated lipstick on her lips enhanced her complexion.
The few days I spent with him made me feel incredibly haggard.
Qin Shisheng wore a long black mink coat, the luxurious material highlighting his noble temperament. The black suit he wore underneath was well-tailored and had smooth lines, making him look exceptionally dignified.
Qin Shisheng gently put his arm around my waist and we walked into the luxurious private room.
Jiang Zhou and Lin Zhibai followed closely behind, their steps steady and powerful.
When we stepped into the private room, the first thing we saw was Jin Buwei and his assistant.
Jin Buwei sat there quietly, seemingly deep in thought.
However, when he saw Qin Shisheng and I enter side by side, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly stood up.
With a polite and friendly smile, he greeted Qin Shisheng, "President Qin, hello! I hope our cooperation on this project will go smoothly!"
Seeing Jin Buwei's deep, ink-black eyes,
A sense of panic welled up inside me...
At the same time, Qin Shisheng smiled slightly.
He replied, "No, you must have put in a lot of effort to win this project, right?"
In response to Qin Shisheng's question,
A fleeting, icy glint appeared in Jin Buwei's eyes.
With a slight upturn of the corners of her mouth, she revealed a seemingly relaxed smile and said, "President Qin, you're too kind. It really is just a coincidence!"
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Qin Shisheng and me, and a subtle atmosphere permeated between the two of them.
Qin Shisheng's slender eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the other person with a scrutinizing gaze, as if trying to see through their surface to their true thoughts...
Qin Shisheng's lips curled up, his domineering aura radiating as he asked, "How do you want to divide the profits?"
"Mr. Qin, actually... I quite enjoy watching Miss Yao dance! If Mr. Qin is willing to part with her, I'm willing to forgo any financial gain!"
Qin Shisheng's eyes instantly darkened, and a hint of ferocity emanated from his body.
Lin Zhibai's face was gloomy.
His gaze was icy as he stared at Jin Buwei, his voice carrying an undisguised warning.
"Jin Buwei! Watch your words and your status!"
However, Jin Buwei seemed not to have heard anything.
He still wore that calm and collected smile, as if Lin Zhibai's anger had no effect on him.
“I didn’t mean anything by it, she really does dance very well! Everyone has the right to appreciate beauty!” Jin Buwei spoke slowly, his tone calm and gentle, revealing no emotional fluctuations.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shisheng's already cold face instantly became even colder.
His deep eyes were fixed on Jin Buwei as he coldly said, "Admire my woman?"
His words were full of pressure.
Faced with Qin Shisheng's questioning, Jin Buwei calmly replied, "President Qin, I was simply appreciating beautiful things. I thought President Qin wouldn't mind, would he?"
"Hahaha!" Qin Shisheng suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the room and sending chills down everyone's spine.
Nevertheless, everyone present could clearly sense that Qin Shisheng was suppressing his anger.
I stood aside, thinking to myself: The atmosphere right now is too delicate. Although it's unlikely that they'll start fighting immediately, you can feel the tension from their conversation.
