Chapter 22 Ah Qi
“Miss Liu, come, let me help you up.”
Liu Qi was very light, which made Lan Lan easily help her to the sofa.
“Miss Liu, I’ll get some warm water to wipe your body. Please sit down for a while.” Lan Lan was about to leave when Liu Qi grabbed her wrist.
“Shen Nanxiao, don’t go… Don’t go… sob…” Liu Qi sobbed and stood up. She felt that her whole body was supported by soft clouds. She wanted to lean on it, but she could not.
“I’m not going. I’m right here. Don’t be afraid.” Lan Lan held Liu Qi steadily and comforted her in a gentle voice.
Liu Qi did not say anything else. She just hugged Lan Lan and sobbed.
“Come, let’s sit for a while.”
Lan Lan gently helped Liu Qi sit down. She saw that Liu Qi was staring at the floor with a dull gaze. It was as if she was not focusing, but her emotions had calmed down.
“Miss Liu, I’ll go to the bathroom to get some warm water for you to wipe your body. I won’t go far.” After Lan Lan said that, she looked back from the bathroom three times with worry.
Immediately after, the sound of water splashing came from the bathroom.
“Miss Liu!” When Lan Lan came out with the water, Liu Qi’s shadow was no longer on the sofa. The door was also open!
North City, Blue Night Bar.
The environment here was dark. There was only a faint light. It was not so dark that you could not see; but it was not too clear either.
Unlike the lively atmosphere of other bars, this place was actually very quiet. The soothing music was very suitable for chatting.
“Brother, why are you here? It’s so quiet. Why don’t you go and order a booth with me?” The voice of the person who spoke sounded a little immature, but with youthful vigor.
This person was Shen Nanxiao’s younger brother. His name was Shen Zijing. He had the appearance of a biological brother, but his personality was very different.
“Brother, say something. Did Grandpa ask you to find me?” At this point, Shen Zijing turned his head and said unhappily, “I’m not going back.”
Then, Shen Zijing looked at Shen Nanxiao with excitement. His eyes were shining. “Brother, let me tell you. I’m building games with a few friends. We’ll be able to do the closed beta test very soon.”
“Okay.” Shen Nanxiao barely responded and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Shen Zijing immediately lost his excitement from before. His brother was always so boring, as if nothing was worth his happiness.
“Brother, you’ve only said three sentences to me so far. No, it’s three words. Why did you call me out?” Shen Zijing could not help but complain. He said so much, and it felt like he was singing a one-man show. “You can leave now.” Shen Nanxiao’s face was cold as he gulped down the glass of wine.
Shen Zijing was stunned when he heard that. He said arrogantly, “I… I’m not leaving.”
Then, he asked jokingly, “Brother, are you in a bad mood? Your wife ran away with someone? No, brother, you haven’t…”
As Shen Zijing spoke, there was a bang, which scared him so much that he immediately shut up.
The wine glass in Shen Nanxiao’s hand fell heavily on the table, and the wine splashed onto his hand.
“…” Shen Zijing pursed his lips, not even daring to breathe loudly. He was not afraid of anyone in the Shen family losing their temper, but this brother of his would always be his nightmare.
For a moment, there was an unusual silence. Shen Nanxiao stared at the star cup that had a corner knocked off the bottom, and his hand tightened even more.
The atmosphere was tense. Shen Zijing thought to himself, if he called me out and scolded me, should I leave?
Actually, he also knew that he had touched his brother’s bottom line. Now, he had guessed a little. It must be that wretched girl, Liu Qi, who had run away with Nangong Shu again.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Shen Zijing subconsciously covered his pocket and realized that it was not his. Then, he carefully pointed at Shen Nanxiao and said, “Brother, your phone is ringing.”
Seeing that Shen Nanxiao did not respond, he moved closer and said, “Do you want me to help you answer it?”
He took Shen Nanxiao’s cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. It was also true that Shen Nanxiao never created contacts.
“Hello.”
“Young master, I’m Lan Lan. Miss Liu is drunk and ran out alone when I was fetching water. I went out to look for her, but I couldn’t find her.” There was an anxious sobbing tone on the other end of the phone.
Miss Liu? It was Liu Qi, right.
Shen Zijing touched his nose and handed the phone to Shen Nanxiao, saying, “A person called Lan Lan said that your wife is drunk and ran out.”
In just a moment, Shen Nanxiao took the phone and rushed out of the private room. His speed was like a 100-meter sprint, causing Shen Zijing to be unable to react in time.
He hurriedly rushed to the door and shouted, “Brother, pay the bill before you leave! I’m
poor!”
Lan Lan was already waiting at the entrance of the hotel. She could not stop the tears in her eyes, and her hands were tightly clasped together.
Fortunately, Shen Nanxiao was not too far away. He rushed back in less than two minutes.
“Young master, it’s all my fault for not looking after Miss Liu. It’s all my fault…” Lan Lan lowered her head in self-blame.
Shen Nanxiao did not speak. He brought Wu Feng to the monitoring room.
Although a certain person appeared calm and indifferent on the surface, his heart was trembling.
Through the monitoring room, she saw that Liu Qi had taken the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.
“Shen Nanxiao, where are you?” Liu Qi’s eyes were red from crying. She looked around the crowded lobby.
Right now, she only had one thought, and that was to find Shen Nanxiao.
However, at this moment, she coincidentally bumped into Nangong Shu.
“Liu Qi!” Qi Qi looked at Nangong Shu in surprise.
Liu Qi’s looked sexy with a flirtatious look in her strapless black dress, especially her red face due to her drunkenness. Her misty eyes made it impossible for any man to stand her gaze.
Of course, Nangong Shu was no exception. Although he was angry that Liu Qi had stood him up, he was no longer that angry when he saw her now.
In the past, he only thought that she was just a little girl. When did she become so charming?
“Bring her back to my room. I want to have a good chat with her!” Nangong Shu’s eyes were filled with viciousness. Since she dared to make him wait for an entire afternoon, he naturally had to collect a price.
Qi Qi had no choice but to do as he said. She went over to support Liu Qi and took her away while coaxing her.
At the same time, Qi Qi was also very curious. Nangong Shu’s was clearly interested in Liu Qi.
Nangong Shu had a unique characteristic. Other than Lu Xue, he only liked tall, long-legged beauties. Perhaps it was because Liu Qi was not dressed like a child like she used to be.
In the monitoring room.
Wu Feng quickly said on behalf of Liu Qi, “President, it’s obvious that Miss Liu is unwilling. We…”
“Get the people.”
Shen Nanxiao brought Wu Feng and a few bodyguards to Room 402 where Nangong Shu lived.
Shen Nanxiao’s gaze was gloomy. No matter what, Liu Qi was his person. No one could snatch her away, even if that girl was a little liar.
Room 420.
Qi Qi pressed Liu Qi down on the sofa and sat down. Nangong Shu sat on the other side and stared at Liu Qi.
“I’ll ask you one more time. Where’s the money?”
Liu Qi did not answer. She just kept crying. “I want to look for Shen Nanxiao. I want to look for Shen Nanxiao.”
“Ha, Shen Nanxiao? I’ll ask you one last time. Where’s the money?” Nangong Shu raised his voice. It was obvious that he had lost his patience.
“Vice President, don’t be angry. Miss Liu is drunk, “Qi Qi comforted him.
Nangong Shu took off his coat and threw it aside. He walked toward Liu Qi step by step. He pinched her chin and forced her to raise her head.
Nangong Shu smiled. “What do you think his expression would be like if I sent a video to Shen Nanxiao of us having s*x?”
At this moment, the door was opened.
Wu Feng stopped the bodyguards outside and said, “Only go in when I tell you to go in.”
When Qi Qi saw Shen Nanxiao, she was so scared that she stood up. “How… How did you
get in!”
Liu Qi was held by Nangong Shu’s chin and kept crying. “I want to find Shen Nanxiao. I want to find…”
Nangong Shu raised his head and looked at the man who was walking toward him. He said provocatively, “Yo, isn’t this the famous… Ugh!”
Before Nangong Shu could finish his provocative words, he was punched in the face and fell to the ground.
“Ah!!!!” Qi Qi was so scared that she screamed and kept retreating.
Shen Nanxiao took off his coat and went forward to wrap Liu Qi in it. He picked her up and walked out without saying a word.
“Bah!” Nangong Shu raised his head and spat a mouthful of blood on the ground. One of his molars came out.
When Wu Feng saw Shen Nanxiao come out, he said to the bodyguards, “Fight like it’s worth a million yuan.”
