C20 Don't Play Dumb in front of Me

Hearing Jiang Yunting retort with such righteousness, Xu Qingqing crossed her hands on her hips and retorted angrily, "There are so many eyes watching us both in the living room. What are you planning to do?"

Naturally, Jiang Yunting wasn't a good person. However, in front of so many pairs of eyes, he had done something shameful. Xu Qingqing definitely wouldn't agree to such a thing.

Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Yunting's lips curled up in mockery as a glint of light flashed across his eyes. He knew that Xu Qingqing's mind was filled with dirty thoughts at this very moment.

"Guess?"

Jiang Yunting simply gave up on his plan and grabbed Xu Qing's wrist with one hand. With a little effort, he brought her in front of him.

When she saw the face in front of her, she was filled with dread, as well as a thread of unease. In terms of strength, the woman had naturally lost. Moreover, this was Jiang Yunting's house, so it was impossible for him to escape.

"Jiang Yunting, don't be so despicable!" Xu Qing gritted her teeth, still restless. She wanted to break free from Jiang YunTing's restraints.

To Jiang Yunting, this was a ploy that he had seen many times before. And it was this woman who had put on such a delicate act!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunting's expression turned darker. He couldn't help but think of the memories from the past. It was as if his heart had been touched by the softness of the past. The grip on his wrist tightened as Xu Qingqing cried out in pain.

"Jiang Yunting, you mad dog, let me go."

Hearing Xu Qingqing's words, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. None of them dared to imagine the consequences of Jiang Yunting's anger.

No one had expected Jiang Yunting to be so angry. Instead, he smiled back and made a sweet pose, pulling Xu Qingqing into his arms. "Little baby, if you want to embarrass me in front of everyone, you have to take responsibility for me."

Xu Qingqing was originally very aggressive. However, in the blink of an eye, when Jiang Yunting's lips came close to his ear and he recited those words, he felt his face turn red as if he was on blood. He didn't know how to respond.

Since when did Jiang Yunting have such a good relationship with him?

However, before Xu Qingqing could react, Jiang Yunting immediately changed his expression into an evil one and bit into Xu Qing's ear. "Stop acting cocky in front of me, Ji Yueruo."

Hearing the words, Xu Qing felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. She was now thoroughly awake. It turned out that the reason why Jiang Yunting treated him with such gentleness was because he thought of her as a different woman.

Although Xu Qingqing knew that she wasn't considered a devastatingly beautiful woman, she still felt uncomfortable knowing that she had been replaced by Jiang Yunting.

"I am me, not Yu Nuo!" Xu Qingqing did not want to repeat the same words again, but Jiang YunTing's attitude made her feel uncomfortable.

Even though Xu Qing knew that she was an exchange item, she didn't want to be treated like that!

Hearing this, Jiang Yunting's eyes narrowed into long slits, "If you have the guts, then tell me again."

Since the other party had already said so, Jiang Yunting would definitely be furious. Xu Qing was like a turtle, cowering in fear, not daring to utter another word.

Seeing Xu Qingqing act this way, Jiang Yunting's mischievous attitude rose to a whole new level. In the end, this woman was still afraid of him, so when she thought of Jiang Yunting, she felt much more at ease.

"Hmph, it's good as long as you know how to act good."

In the end, Xu Qing was a person who refused to admit defeat. However, she had been behaving obediently in front of this man. Who knew that he had planned to open a dyeing workshop? However, in the blink of an eye, he realized that his arm was still being held by Jiang Yunting. In this situation, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

"Bastard, let go of me!" Xu Qing opened her mouth and bit into Jiang YunTing's arm.

Who said that women were inferior to men!

He didn't expect her to raise her eyes again, and he actually hooked his own up with a smile on his face. Seeing this, she immediately retreated timidly without saying a word.

What kind of demon was Jiang Yunting? He didn't even feel pain. Xu Qing thought about it in fear. Without waiting for her to let her imagination run wild, Jiang Yunting picked her up and carried her upstairs.

After being roughly thrown onto the bed by Jiang Yunting, Xu Qingqing painfully rubbed the back of her head. Before she could open her eyes, she painfully frowned.

"What are you doing!" Xu Qing pushed back with both hands, but the person on her lips didn't budge an inch.

Clearly, this wasn't the result Xu Qing had hoped for. However, she had resisted with the intent to capture him. Jiang Yunting's body was surrounded by a scorching heat that made her lose her bearings. Should she indulge or refuse at this point? Xu Qing couldn't think of a clear answer, so she could only close her eyes and ponder.

"Tsk." Not long after, Xu Qing heard the discontent of the person above her.

When she opened her eyes again, a blanket had been placed over her. "I'm not too interested in you, so there's no need to pretend to cooperate."

"You!" Xu Qingqing was furious. It was clear that she had been wronged and had taken advantage of him. Why was it that Jiang Yunting had even turned his back on her? Xu Qingqing was not satisfied with this result. However, when she looked up, she saw Jiang Yunting sitting at the corner of the bed, smoking and completely ignoring her.

Seeing this, a scheme immediately surfaced in Xu Qing's mind.

After a while, the worker slowly walked to Jiang Yunting's side. She was not in a good mood after all. Seeing Xu Qingqing appear before his eyes, Jiang Yunting immediately furrowed his brows.

Before Jiang Yunting could say anything, Xu Qingqing extended her hand in front of his face.

"Don't say anything, I have a clause. I think we should talk."

Hearing the two words' terms', Jiang Yunting extinguished the cigarette in his mouth with interest and walked out of the smoke ring. "You think you can negotiate with me?"

To dare to say such words, you feel that you have long since been prepared to be belittled.

Xu Qing shrugged her shoulders in a relaxed manner. "You seem to care a lot about me."

This kind of care was not between a loving couple, but between enemies and each other.

Even if Jiang Yunting wanted to put him to death, first of all, he had to hold his own life in his hands. Xu Qingqing was already aware of this by now, so she was qualified to negotiate with him.

"Hoh, I'm guessing you can't say anything good either. Why don't you tell me about it?" A bright gleam flashed across Jiang Yunting's eyes. He had a whole new level of respect for this woman. He thought that she was just a plaything that he had kept in his pocket, but now, it seemed that he had some brains.

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing felt a bit more at ease. This man's heart was like an undersea needle, and the Jiang Yunting in front of her was a perfect example.

In any case, he had still managed to secure the right to negotiate. As far as Xu Qingqing was concerned, she might as well use it as a springboard to free him for the time being.

"You've personally seen what happened to Aunt Yun today. Not only her, many of the servants have their eyes on me."

When it came to her plans, Xu Qingqing also needed to be gentle and considerate. However, she was also a shrewd merchant. Therefore, she mustered a lot of courage not to be afraid in front of him.

"I hired that servant and he disagrees with you because you crossed the line." Jiang Yunting was somewhat confident that Xu Qingqing would be able to sow dissension in front of him. However, he was far from being able to do so.

As expected, Jiang Yunting misunderstood her. Xu Qingqing had already expected this, but she wasn't in a hurry.

"I know that, but how do you know they are loyal and sincere to you? A single contract doesn't mean they are sincere and sincere." It was as if Xu Qingqing was standing on a steel wire. Even if she had misinterpreted her words, her words would still have failed.

"What are you trying to say?" Annoyed, Jiang Yunting frowned. He looked at the woman before him who was trying to pull a trick, but he was unable to fathom her thoughts.

There was no need to mention anything about Xu Qing's precautions. Jiang Yunting would naturally strengthen his defenses. After all, he couldn't let this woman slip away from him again. Even if he had to make her die, he would have to pay the price.

"So, rather than knowing so many people, you might as well leave behind one or two trusted spies who can take care of me while also making it convenient for you to monitor me. What do you think?" As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Qing didn't feel relieved at all. In fact, she was even more perturbed about whether or not Jiang Yunting would agree to it, which was still very important to her.

"Yes." Hearing this, Jiang Yunting muttered to himself for a moment. He seemed to be deep in thought, but his ice-cold eyes were glued to the top of Xu Qing's skin as he walked, as though he was examining her. The air around her seemed to freeze. Xu Qingqing was regretting saying such words, but she could also feel her heart pounding. She knew that she had to think of a way to escape, and that was the last hope of survival.

"You're telling me this, don't tell me you have other plans?" In the end, even if Jiang Yunting wasn't retarded, he was still able to detect these changes.

To Xu Qing, it was like standing at the crossroads. If she answered the wrong question, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"What do you want me to say?" In the blink of an eye, Xu Qingqing smiled. However, in a different tone, she returned the hot potato back to Jiang Yunting.

What should not be said, she knew it was a taboo that could never be said.

"I hope …" Jiang Yunting rose to his feet and began to walk in circles around Xu Qingqing. As she listened to the clear sound of her shoes scraping against the floor, she felt as if her heart were pounding against her ears.

Every minute and every second felt like a long, hard century to her.
