C9 The Warmth of the Night
Perhaps it was because Soong Wanwan's eyes were too hot, Xunye glanced at her and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, full of sarcasm. Soong Wanwan was mesmerized by Xunye's smile, as if she had completely forgotten the humiliation she had previously suffered.
"Mr. Xun, I'm glad you chose me to be your partner."
Xunye slightly raised his eyebrows and did not say anything. There was a reason for him to work with him, so there was no need to thank him now.
"Pa!"
A crisp sound came from the kitchen. It was obvious that the cup had been broken. Qingke lowered her head and walked out timidly.
"I'm sorry, young master. I broke the cup."
Her voice sounded like it could drip water. She lowered her head but it could not hide the slightly raised corner of her mouth. There was a little bit of pride in her voice. Xunye's eyebrows were also covered with a faint smile. This girl.
"Hehe... Luh Qingke, so you have already fallen to the point of being a servant. What difficulties do you have? Tell me, we are good sisters."
A familiar voice sounded by her ear. Qingke suddenly turned her head around and saw Soong Wanwan and Chen Zixi sitting on the sofa. Chen Zixi saw her and clearly frowned, with faint disdain and endless coldness.
Qingke did not think that she would meet them here. She moved her finger that was cut by the fragments behind her without leaving a trace and her body swayed.
Xunye saw all of this. He looked up at Uncle Lin and immediately wanted to leave.
"Mr. Xun, this girl is very stupid. Today, she broke your cup. Who knows what precious things she will break in the future?"
How could Soong Wanwan let go of any opportunity to suppress her? As she said that, she tugged at her clothes, revealing a faintly discernible allure, and her coquettish eyes were like silk. Chen Zixi saw that she had hurt Qingke, but he did not stop her.
Qingke lowered her head. Her lips had already been bitten until they turned white. She knew that she could not cry in front of them. But... she really could not.
The moment her tears fell, Qingke felt a powerful force coming from her waist. Then she fell into a warm and hard embrace. Qingke looked up. But it happened to meet Xunye's lowered head. He gently kissed the corner of Qingke's eyes. He kissed away the teardrop that was about to fall and hugged her as he sat on the sofa. He did not pay attention to the person beside him who was so shocked that he could not speak.
Chen Zixi frowned even more deeply. He never would have thought that Qingke would have a relationship with such a man. Furthermore, their relationship was so close. In the past, whenever he wanted to kiss her, Qingke always used various reasons. All sorts of bashfulness, but just now, everything was so natural. It was as if they were the lovers who had been dating for many years.
Soong Wanwan's eyes were filled with horror. Why... Ever since she was young, the heavens had always favored this idiot who did not know anything. She thought that she could prove herself by snatching Chen Zixi away, but she didn't expect that she would be able to get close to the even more powerful Xunye. She didn't care about Chen Zixi who was standing beside her. She knew that she had gone mad with jealousy.
Uncle Lin stood at the side with the box in his hand. He had seen everything that had happened just now. He suddenly understood the reason why his young master had ordered him to investigate these two men and pointed out that he wanted to cooperate with them.
Xun opened the box in Uncle Lin's hand and took a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. He pulled Qingke's hand, which was hidden behind her back, out and gently wiped it with alcohol. After that, he carefully bandaged her.
The sun shone on Xunye, and his every movement carried the inherent aura of a king. Even though he gently applied medicine for Qingke now, he still had an inviolable majesty.
Qingke looked at him blankly. His gentleness was like his eyes, so deep that Qingke actually had some attachment to him. When Chen Zixi and Soong Wanwan saw this scene, a bad premonition arose in their hearts.
"Be careful next time. I will feel heartache."
Xunye held Qingke in his arms like there was no one else around. His voice was gentle like never before. Only his voice echoed in the hall. It was suffocating silence. Qingke hid in Xunye's arms and looked at the two people's ugly and conflicted faces. She could not help but think. She got up from Xunye's arms and walked step by step to Soong Wanwan. Her slender fingers lifted her chin and her slightly narrowed eyes revealed a dangerous aura. Xunye smiled. This girl had learned all of his arrogance. At this moment, Qingke looked like a hedgehog covered in thorns.
"You said I'm stupid?"
Soong Wanwan did not know why but when she heard Qingke's voice, Soong Wanwan unconsciously shivered. She knew that she could not afford to offend this woman in front of her.
Without waiting for her to speak, Qingke raised her hand and knocked a vase on the table onto the ground.
Everyone present was shocked, including Xunye. This girl was getting bolder and bolder. They did not stop her. They just wanted to see what else this girl could do.
"You should know the value of this vase better than I do, right?"
The corners of her mouth curled into a smile, but her voice was incomparably cold. How could Soong Wanwan not know that during the university period, she chose to study the cultural relics appraisal. Furthermore, the things that could be placed in Xunye's house, how could they be ordinary.
"Did you see it? Not to mention a cup, as long as I like it, burning down this villa is nothing. Right, my dear. "
Xunye was still immersed in her sudden fierceness. He was not prepared for her to throw the topic at him. He casually picked up the coffee in Uncle Lin's hand and pursed his lips. He did not say anything. This silence in Chen Zixi and Soong Wanwan's eyes naturally became tacit agreement.
"Ke, don't mess around. We still have business to talk about."
After all, she was a person who was used to climbing and rolling around in the business world. Chen Zixi immediately recovered. He was afraid that she would do something overboard again, so he hurriedly stopped her.
Xunye frowned slightly and his face immediately darkened. Ke? It was also what he could call her. For some reason, when he heard other men call her that, he felt an inexplicable anger.
"Baby, be good. Come back."
Xunye waved at her, indicating for her to come back. Qingke obediently sat beside him. A pair of small hands quietly climbed onto his arm. She looked like a little bird that was dependent on others. She did not look as fierce as before.
Chen Zixi let out a long sigh of relief. This farce had finally ended. He did not care who Qingke was with anymore. He just wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible. As long as he could get the land of Xun's, there was hope for everything.
"Mr. Chen, there's no need to talk about it. Sign it."
Xunye casually tossed a contract to him.
"Mr. Bu Xun, didn't we prepare the contract? Why..."
Chen Zixi was a little panicky. They had agreed that the contract would be drawn up by their side. How could it be like this now?
"If Mr. Chen is worried, you can check it carefully."
Uncle Lin saw through his hesitation and said.
