Li Mengqi subconsciously turned her head, but accidentally bumped into a pair of bottomless black eyes. She was startled and her heart skipped a beat. However, when she thought that he really had a fiancee who had tricked her for so long, her suppressed bad mood quickly spread.
"Hey, let go of me!" She extended her hand in an attempt to pry the man's large palm away, but she was instead gripped tightly by him. He even used his rough thumb to lightly stroke the back of her hand. A feeling of numbness seeped through her skin and deep into her heart. She held her breath, purposely ignoring the throbbing of the man in front of her. She bit her lips and glared at him. "Remove your dirty hands!"
Qi Junhao didn't expect him to treat her like this after travelling all the way to Hong Kong to find her. The hand around her waist suddenly tightened, pulling her into a hug.
Li Mengqi cried out in a low voice, and her small face instantly turned pale with fright. She was already on tenterhooks standing on the staircase, and now that he pulled her like this, her soul was almost gone.
Her little body was securely wrapped in the man's embrace. Afraid of falling off, she could only tug at the collar of his suit and raise her gaze, meeting his half-smiling eyes. "Why is the baby so angry all of a sudden, huh?"
Hearing the gentle voice of the man she loved calling her baby, even a cold woman's heart would be melted in an instant. Of course, Li Mengqi was no exception. However, she was not a silly woman who would lose her head just by saying a few sweet words. She had her own opinions and principles, and for her, morality was built on love. When she thought of this, she couldn't care less about her fear of heights. She reached out to push his chest, and said in a cold tone, "Who's your baby, don't call yourself your relative!
"Aren't you?" Qi Junhao laughed and pinched her nose, lowering his head in an attempt to kiss her. However, she turned his face away, refusing to let him kiss her.
Finally, they reached the end of the elevator. Li Mengqi let out a sigh of relief as her feet touched the ground. She took advantage of the man's inattentiveness to lift up her high heels and ruthlessly step on his foot. Taking advantage of the pain and the frown on his face, she pushed him away.
"What are you doing?" She raised her eyebrows, not giving him a good look at all.
"Let's find a place to explain everything!" After he finished speaking, Qi Junhao spotted a staircase nearby and pulled her to a corner. He then let go of her hand, and covered his body with his hand. He asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, why are you so angry for no reason?"
"Hmph, you know very well what you've done!" Li Mengqi coldly snorted and swung her fist towards his shoulder.
"What did I do?" Qi Junhao felt helpless. He had been so busy these past few days that he barely had time to eat. How could he possibly do something that would make her angry?
Li Mengqi was not a person who liked to hide her feelings. She lightly sighed, raised her head and stared at him. Her clear eyes were filled with anger, "Since that's the case, let's just explain it clearly!"
"Mhmm, speak, I'm listening." With one hand on her slender waist, he very naturally stroked her head with the other hand. He smoothly stroked the hair that had fallen in front of her forehead behind her ears and stared at her with a deep and loving gaze.
His gaze was too hot, causing Li Mengqi to feel somewhat uncomfortable. Her arrogant and delicate temperament made her feel overbearing, "Alright, from now on, when I ask you questions, you have to answer them truthfully. You're not allowed to lie to me!"
"Understood, streamer Li." He nodded, and his attitude was extremely cooperative. Alright, let's see what crime he has committed then!
Li Mengqi's big eyes rolled around and she began to ask the first question, "Have you ever lied to me?"
"No!" Of course he did, but how could he tell the truth?
"What does Shen Xingran have to do with you?" Her intuition told her that perhaps Shen Xingran was his so-called fiancee.
"She is the cousin of Officer Shen, it has nothing to do with me!" It was all discarded. However, in Qi Junhao's heart, he also felt the same way.
"Shen Xingran came on my show yesterday and warned me not to be the mistress. She said that you already have a marriage partner. You bastard, I was really blind to fall for you!" Once this matter was brought up, Li Mengqi couldn't help but to worry. In her desperation, she actually spoke out everything that was hidden deep within her heart.
It was only when she heard the man's low laughter in her ear that she realized what she had said. Her little face flushed red with embarrassment, and she kicked at his leg in anger, but he deftly avoided her.
"Baby, you like me, huh?" He locked her whole body in place and squeezed her jaw, forcing her to meet his gaze. The man's deep eyes were already filled with joy. Even his voice was slightly trembling. It could be seen that he was truly excited.
This damned fellow. If she didn't like him, how could she give him her body time and time again? How infuriating!
Li Mengqi stomped her feet, straightened her neck and replied, "Don't even think about changing the topic. You once said that you were just a person you wanted to marry. Since when did you become a matchmaker? "Tell me, tell me …"
Her tone was aggressive, but to Qi Junhao's ears, it was like she was an extremely pleasing person. Humans were always like this. When he was in love, even if he was angry, even if he was making trouble for no reason, he would still have a generous heart to contain him. Not to mention that the young woman in front of him was now jealous for him! She was using her own way to express how much she cared about him.
Thinking of this, Qi Junhao felt a lump in his throat, as if he was moved by her feelings. Slowly, he lowered his head and grabbed her lips.
Li Mengqi only felt her vision darken as her lips were covered by his warm qi, causing all her questions to be drowned out …
She struggled, but he pressed her against the wall, not allowing her to escape.
The difference between the strength of a man and a woman was quite large. In the end, Li Mengqi simply admitted defeat, allowing him to do as she pleased.
Only after a long while did he let go of her, put his arms around her waist, pressed his forehead against hers, and laughed softly. "So, you didn't even answer my phone and came here to be a coward, huh?"
"No, I'm not. I came to Hong Kong for a reason. Don't put gold on your face." She was curled up in his embrace, her little mouth pouting in a very arrogant manner.
"What brings you to Hong Kong?" he asked casually.
"Of course — —" Li Mengqi wanted to say this, but she was shocked. She didn't know why, but at this moment, she didn't want Qi Junhao to know that she was accompanying Fang Menglin to see Lu Jingchen. Her mind suddenly jolted as she cried out in alarm, "It's all your fault that my movie missed the time to enter."
It was almost 9: 30, and the movie had already started. There was no point in going to watch it now.
"What movie are you watching?" I'll accompany you! " They had never seen a movie together, Qi Junhao thought. It was also a happy occasion for them to be dating once in a while, just like an ordinary couple.
"Uh, it's nothing. "I'm not going to watch it anymore." Only then did Li Mengqi remember that the tickets she and Fang Menglin had bought for the movie were unsuitable for children. If Qi Junhao knew that she had seen those kinds of movies, it would have been weird if she hadn't laughed herself to death!
No, even if I die, I can't let him know.
"Since we're not watching anymore, let's go on a date?" Qi Junhao did not pursue the matter further.
"You haven't answered my question, don't think that you have passed just now by acting shamelessly. Hmph!" She had made up her mind that she would get an answer tonight.
Qi Junhao secretly sighed, he held her small hand and kissed his on the mouth, his voice was low, like the beautiful melody of a cello playing: "Shen Xingran really likes my grandpa, so my grandpa always wanted me to marry her. The marriage between the Qi family and Shen family, they have always been hot, I have never agreed to it. So, what kind of fiancée is this, huh? "
"Shen Ying Rui is so beautiful, and her background is similar to yours, what a perfect match." Besides, I can see that she has a hard time with you. Young Master Qi might as well obey, maybe your grandfather will pass the Qi Family down to you when he's happy. "
Although the result was as she had expected, Li Mengqi still felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and her tone couldn't help but exude a strong sour feeling. The two of them had met twice, and each time, they had tried to intimidate her. Last night on the program, they didn't get any advantage from her, so they probably wouldn't let it go, right? As Li Mengqi thought of this, her head began to hurt.
"I have no interest in the Qi Family, including Zeus! Furthermore, if I wanted to marry Shen Xingran, I would have already. Speaking of which, Qi Junhao scoffed.
"He used to be young, but now he's 28 years old. It's just right for him to get married!" She snorted coldly as she refused to give up. Suddenly, she remembered that today was his birthday. It was not even 12 o'clock yet. Should she celebrate his birthday? But she was still angry!
"The marriage proposal should be done by a man. I understand that you want to marry me." A certain man deliberately held back his laughter and said with a serious expression.
"Tsk, who wants to marry you." She pulled her hand away from his and said coquettishly, "Can you let me go now?"
"Warm and soft, I really can't bear to put it away." He buried his head in her fragrant shoulder and sighed.
Li Mengqi had no choice but to roll her eyes, wondering how this man could act like a child. Actually, only she could feel such indifference. Was she a child? Someone had once said that if a woman felt that a man was like a child, it meant that she cared a lot about that person. She was the same, right? Her nose suddenly felt sore. At this moment, a certain thought became even more certain.
Thinking of this, she pushed his shoulder, her tone softening as she said, "Qi Junhao, come with me to a place, okay?"
Qi Junhao nodded and didn't ask where she was going. As long as she wanted to go, he would accompany her no matter how tiring and arduous it was. However, he didn't expect her to bring him to a nobody's restaurant.
When the owner saw Li Mengqi, he warmly invited them to take a seat.
"What brings you here, eh?" Qi Junhao saw that the decorations were quite ordinary. Normally, he would never set foot here. However, seeing the mysterious look on the young woman's face, he became curious.
"Hehe, you'll know soon enough. Sit down and wait for me. " Li Mengqi patted his shoulder, walked over and whispered a few words to the boss, and quickly followed him into the kitchen.
Qi Junhao laughed heartily, then picked up his phone and started browsing through the stock market.
About ten minutes later, Li Mengqi came out with a large bowl. When Qi Junhao saw this, his handsome face turned dark. Could it be that she had fallen for him again?
What he guessed was true. In front of him was just a bowl of delicious noodles. However, no matter how he looked at it, it did not seem to be from her hands. Qi Junhao narrowed his eyes and gave her a sidelong glance, as she explained in high spirits, "The boss' cooking skills are really good. Fang Menglin and I like to eat the noodles he makes. Today is your Lunar Birthday, so the boss specially made some longevity noodles for you to eat. "
Qi Junhao didn't expect her to be paying attention to his birthday. He was so touched that he couldn't speak for a while, only staring at her. If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people in the restaurant, he would have pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
Seeing that he didn't make a sound, Li Mengqi felt a little uneasy and asked, "Do you not like it?"
"No, thank you!" He came back to his senses, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the noodles and took a bite. He then nodded, "It's delicious, I'm interested."
"That's good!" Seeing this, Li Mengqi was beaming with joy.
After finishing the noodles, it was still only 11: 00. For a city like Hong Kong that never sleeps, it was indeed very early. Li Mengqi wanted to walk around for a bit more, but Qi Junhao shook his head, "Good girl, let's go back to the hotel to sleep."
He was really tired. He had spent too much effort in these two days and had rushed all the way to Hong Kong to find her. Even if he was beaten with iron, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
However, Li Mengqi had clearly misunderstood his meaning. Her charming face blushed a little as she silently cursed him for being so improper. However, she couldn't help but look forward to what would happen next.
Sigh, she really became a demon!
The two of them went to the hotel. Li Mengqi finished bathing and came out, only to find that the man didn't even take off her clothes. She was lying on her bed, not moving at all.
"Qi Junhao?" She went over to call him, but he didn't react at all. It seemed he was asleep.
Li Mengqi sat on the edge of the bed and carefully observed his sleeping appearance, sighing secretly in her heart. Before, she didn't think that he was so good at seeing people angered, but now, why was she so breathtaking every time she saw her? She was hopeless!
After going to the bathroom to get a hot towel and carefully wipe his face, she saw that he still hadn't woken up and was sleeping soundly. Li Mengqi's eyes unconsciously flashed with pain. How tired was she to make him sleep like this?
"I seem to have forgotten to tell you a happy birthday!" She leaned over and gave him a secret kiss on the lips, then lay on his chest, listening to his steady, powerful heartbeat. She slowly closed her eyes.
Qi Junhao woke up in the middle of the night and saw her sleeping soundly with half his body covered in a layer of orange light. His beautiful face was warm and mesmerizing. The man's heart softened. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up onto the bed. After covering her with the blanket, he then fell asleep again.
The next day, after both of them had washed up, Qi Junhao suggested, "Didn't you want to see a movie last night? I have some time today, so I'll accompany you! "
He still remembered this matter.
Hearing this, Li Mengqi hurriedly shook her head, "No, that won't do. Let's go back to A City as soon as possible."
"Did you do something shameful?" The man's deep eyes swept over her face, his tone full of mockery.
"I didn't!" She pursed her lips and turned around to go to the counter to get the cell phone that was charging. When she looked back, she saw that the man was opening her bag. She rushed over to stop him, but she was still a step too late.
"Bath battle? I didn't think that host Li would have such a good time. "
The man's deep voice was filled with a mischievous smile. Li Mengqi was so embarrassed that the back of her ears started to turn red. She swung her fist at him and said, "Bastard, you're not allowed to speak anymore."
"Don't say it? Then do it. I guarantee it will be better than in the movies! " He grabbed her around the waist and, with a scream, went into the bathroom and closed the door.
It was already afternoon by the time he got back to A City.
Li Mengqi didn't go straight home, but went to the hospital to visit her brother. Li Jianzhong's injuries were not serious, she would be discharged after another two days of rest. After chatting with him for a while, she finally left the hospital.
When she got home, she was about to take out the key to open the door when someone called out her name. Li Mengqi turned around and saw a bucket of red paint splashing towards her.
"Slut, let's see if you still dare to insult my goddess! Get the hell out of the television station! "
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he threw down the paint bucket in a panic and quickly ran away without a trace.
Li Mengqi looked at her dyed red skirt. She had never been threatened before, so at this moment, she felt a wave of disgust in her heart. Her small body was trembling, and she couldn't help but feel some lingering fear —
The current Mizar Thread was simply too crazy!
At the same time, in a five-star hotel suite, Song Xingran was sitting gracefully on the sofa, happily making tea.
At this moment, the sound of incoming text messages came from her phone. She took a look and could not help but smile coldly. It seemed like the situation had completely gone according to the direction that she had planned out.
After the live broadcast, she called for people to buy through the water army, pretending to be Li Mengqi's Mizuho, publicly insulting her on the internet as an international film, thereby arousing the wrath of Mizuho. Shen Xingran knew that he had a lot of resources and that there were no lack of militants among them. Even if someone did something to Li Mengqi, it would have nothing to do with her! Who would have thought that someone would do such a thing in just two days? Hehe, what a great pleasure.
Li Mengqi did not intend to pursue the matter of the painting because she knew it was caused by Mad Rice Dice. However, the rice dace in her heart became more and more excessive, and the situation gradually escalated until it was unbearable.
It happened on the day that Li Jianzhong was discharged from the hospital. The two siblings were happily driving home, but they didn't expect that the exterior of the house had been painted with colorful paint, and even the windows of the room had been smashed by stones.
"What is going on?" Li Jianzhong's handsome, sculpture-like face quickly darkened. He didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to prank his house.
Li Mengqi sighed, and finally decided to tell him everything that had happened in the past few days.
"So, this is all done by Shen Xingran's rice nuggets?" Li Jianzhong's face was terrifyingly dark. He picked up his phone and made a call, instructing him to investigate the matter thoroughly. Seeing this, Li Mengqi did not intend to stop him. Since the other party had gone too far, it was time for him to retaliate.
That night, Li Mengqi posted on Weibo everything that had happened to her in the past few days. She even kindly persuaded the mischievous Shen Mi to turn herself in, which she could not pursue.
As soon as the Weibo post was posted, it attracted a lot of attention on the internet. Of course, the news quickly reached Qi Junhao's ears.
On this day, it just so happened to be the fourth generation interstellar mobile phone launch. After everything was done, Zhang Chi took the initiative to show Qi Junhao Li Mengqi's Weibo.
When Qi Junhao saw this, his face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but feel remorseful. These days, he had been busy with the finishing work of the new product. He had neglected her and never expected such a big thing to happen.
"Investigate this from the source." With just a glance, Qi Junhao had found the key point. He knew that the power of the Mizar Silk was very strong, and the internet violence was rampant. Even if the police were to report this matter to the police, they would only be able to treat the symptoms and not the root of the problem. Right now, the most important thing to do was to find the person who had initially insulted Shen Xingran, so as to be able to calm down this crisis.
"Yes, Boss!" Zhang Chi happily agreed. He thought to himself, "If his boss can perfectly resolve this crisis for Leader Li, he should be moved to death, right?" At that time, the BOSS will return with a beauty that it wished for. Only then will his life be a lot easier.
"That traitor from the Technology department surnamed Xiao, have you found any information?" Their hard work had paid off. Their men had been lying in ambush at each other's home for three days, and they had finally caught the man. Under their forced confession, the other party revealed that it was a man surnamed Xiao who bribed him. However, he had no way of knowing who that person was.
"The other party has been hiding his strength too well. We are simply unable to find any information on him." However, there has been a drug factory in A City recently, and the legal representative is surnamed Xiao. Zhang Chi frowned. He vaguely felt that the enemy's background was too great. Hiding in the dark was really hard to guard against.
As soon as Qi Junhao heard that, a ruthless look flashed across his eyes, "Investigate thoroughly and don't leave any trace behind. "Also, help me find a villa with maple trees."
"Alright!" Zhang Chi nodded. Just as he was about to continue his report, Qi Junhao's cell phone rang.
