C65 Sweet

"CEO, we found a box in the secret compartment of the room while we were searching." The bodyguard respectfully handed a sandalwood box to them.

Qian Qing looked at Xiao Yi and then at the simple wooden box.

With a conflicted expression, she hesitantly asked, "What is your bodyguard's background? He actually found a secret compartment?"

All the bodyguards:... "

Xiao Yi said proudly, "Of course, I don't even want to see whose bodyguard it is."

Qian Qing passed the box in embarrassment but found that the box was locked and could not be opened.

She raised her head and looked at the bodyguard brother with anticipation. "Can it be unlocked?"

"Yes..." The bodyguard brother nodded his head in response to everyone's expectations. His expression was also somewhat conflicted.

In less than two minutes, the bronze lock was opened. Qian Qing praised it with both hands. She had a new understanding of Xiao Yi's cool bodyguards.

"Not opening it?" Xiao Yi saw Qian Qing hugging the box tightly in his arms but did not have any intention of opening it. He asked curiously.

Qian Qing was a rare money-grubber, so she carefully looked around. "Since it is hidden in the secret compartment, then it must be something very important. You cannot let others see it, or else I will feel sorry for it if it is stolen!"

Xiao Yi laughed and said, "Do you think that there is someone here who can snatch things from your hands?"

The bodyguards had a look of disdain on their faces. They straightened their chests even more.

Qian Qing:... "

When the crowd came out of the ancestral house, the gossipy villagers were still surrounding the door, but Ouyang Qing was nowhere to be seen.

A middle-aged man in a police uniform walked over and was about to greet Xiao Yi, but was stopped by the bodyguards.

"Young Master Xiao." The middle-aged man nodded.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, and the bodyguards threw the seven or eight men out. With an indifferent expression, they held Qian Qing and got into the car.

The surrounding crowd began to discuss among themselves.

"So it's all these human traffickers pretending to be ghosts to scare people! They deserve to be beaten to death!" Someone in the crowd said excitedly.

"Those children also look quite pitiful. Hopefully, they can find a way back home."

The auntie from the hotel smiled in relief. "This time, it is all thanks to Qing-er. If not for her and her boyfriend, those babies might have been even more pitiful."

"What do you think the background of this man is? Why would the police be afraid of him?" The other aunties were very curious and gossiped.

"It's not fear, it's respect."

The aunties rolled her eyes. "Doesn't it mean the same thing?"

"It's good to be good-looking. It's great to have a rich man around." The girls said enviously.

Someone added, "And he's such a handsome young man!"

Qian Qing sat in the car and hugged the wooden box. She suddenly remembered, "Grandpa Wu is still in the hospital!"

"I have already sent people to take care of his daily life. They will report to you regularly."

Qian Qing nodded and then said in surprise, "My luggage!"

"I have packed it early. I will go to the airport directly." Xiao Yi looked at her helplessly, then lightly bit his index finger and fell into deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Qian Qing asked.

"I am thinking that the tracking device on your bracelet is not very perfect. I need to go back and improve it." Xiao Yi looked at Qian Qing's bracelet and said seriously.

This time, she actually ran out of the city and he did not find it. This was not a small loophole.

"Then can you invent a new weapon? It looks ordinary and inconspicuous, but it can repel the enemy in an emergency, just like the knife and gun in the ring in the movies." Qian Qing excitedly gestured.

"What is your brain thinking all day long?" Xiao Yi said with disdain, "Do you think it is in the sci-fi world?"

Qian Qing pouted unhappily. She was very unhappy holding the box.

"Humph!"

"Why do you want this kind of weapon?" Xiao Yi smiled and hugged her in his arms.

"You can't protect me all the time, so I have to protect myself." Qian Qing said, holding the pattern on the wooden box.

"Ouyang Qian bullied you that night." Xiao Yi's tone became cold.

Qian Qing was stunned and shook her head. "It's nothing. Senior Brother helped me out."

"Next time, I will definitely protect you, okay?" Xiao Yi said softly. His usually cold and hard voice carried a bit of pleading and seriousness.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Qian Qing smiled with curved eyebrows and nodded.

Xiao Yi's heart softened a little, and he took the person in his arms closer to his chest.

But at that moment, his phone rang.

When he saw the name on the screen, Xiao Yi frowned. He looked at Qian Qing in his arms and turned off the phone.

Qian Qing's mind was focused on the wooden box, but she did not see Xiao Yi's movements.

"When we return to A City, I will take you on a vacation." Xiao Yi said.

"I'm not going!" Qian Qing firmly shook her head and said, "I have missed a lot of classes this semester. If I don't go to class, I will definitely fail."

"How can that be? Our Qinger is so smart, she will definitely not fail the course." Xiao Yi patted her head and praised.

Qian Qing narrowed her eyes and sized him up, but still did not let go.

"If you don't go, don't regret it." Xiao Yi smiled meaningfully.

This smile made Qian Qing feel even more uneasy, and her back felt cold.

After returning to Sky City, Qian Qing very piously and carefully opened the wooden box. But when she looked at the wooden box, she found that there was nothing inside...

The excitement and joy in her heart turned into a green smoke and came out from Qian Qing's head.

"Could it be that this secret compartment and this box were played by our ancestors?" Qian Qing did not give up and flipped the box over but there was still nothing.

Xiao Yi looked at her with amusement. She looked like a cat that could not get dried fish. Her eyes were lowered, and she was depressed and unhappy.

"Let me take you shopping. I will buy you anything you like."

"No." Qian Qing lay on the bed, depressed.

"Then let's do something happy?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and pressed down on Qian Qing.

Qian Qing's face turned red. She pushed him away and sat up. "I am going to buy vegetables to cook! Get up quickly!"

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "You just returned the fever. You need to rest more."

"My body is not that weak, and I can move more quickly too."

"Then I'll go with you."

There was a huge shopping mall downstairs in Sky City. There were all kinds of daily necessities, from fruits, vegetables to jewelry. There were only things you could not think of and nothing you could not find. This was the advertisement slogan of the supermarket.

Qian Qing pushed the handcart and walked around the supermarket. Xiao Yi looked around casually.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Qian Qing asked.

"Anything?"

Qian Qing thought for a while and shook her head, "No."

"Then is it useful to ask this?" Xiao Yi rolled his eyes at her.

"I like it." Qian Qing lifted her foot and wanted to get the top layer of seasoning, but she found that she was too short and could not reach it. She could only ask the supermarket staff to help.

But just as she turned around, Xiao Yi raised his hand and threw the seasoning bag on the shelf into Qian Qing's hands. His brows were filled with disdain. "It is inconvenient for short people."

Xiao Yi, who was wearing casual clothes, was not as domineering and cold as before. Instead, he looked more youthful and handsome. His face was still full of unruliness and disdain, but it touched Qian Qing's heart for some reason.

He raised his head and looked at him blankly. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He suddenly realized that having a boyfriend was also not a bad thing.

Xiao Yi noticed Qian Qing's dazed look and said with a smirk, "What's wrong? Are you looking silly?"

Qian Qing held his hand and laughed foolishly. "Yes, I'm looking silly."

"Silly." Xiao Yi smiled and said.
