"Let her go! The further she goes, the better!"

Li Mengqi's body trembled. No matter how good her mental state was, his attitude still hurt her heart.

Humans were always this contradictory. She was clearly the one who wanted to push him away, but in the end, why couldn't she endure his indifference …

Oh, Li Mengqi, what do you want?

"Ting, don't be angry." Seeing the two of them in such a awkward position, official Shen Qian felt a headache coming on. They clearly liked each other, yet they tortured each other in such a way. Anyone who looked at them would feel tired. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Li Mengqi and advised, "You should stay here and take good care of him."

"I …" Li Mengqi swallowed her saliva, and her almond-shaped eyes subconsciously glanced at Qi Junhao, seeing the terrifying redness on his shoulder. Suddenly, she felt an urge to nod, but before she could express anything, Qi Junhao opened his mouth first, "How dare I trouble streamer Li? To take care of me, is it my duty to be a fiancee anyway? "

A deep voice with a hint of ridicule entered Li Mengqi's ears. She felt like a thunderbolt had struck her heart.

He … He admitted Shen Xingran!

This realization drained all of her remaining strength. Li Mengqi suddenly felt her vision go black, and amidst Officer Shen Qian's surprised cry, she fell to the ground …

The New York winter was like a man's mood, elusive. One moment it was sunny, the next it was snowing heavily.

Outside, the house was already covered with white snow. Inside the house, it was as warm as summer because of the heating.

Qi Junhao sat on the bed with his face turned sideways, staring unblinkingly at the sleeping beauty beside him.

"Second Young Master, Miss will only faint after not eating for a long time and being overly depressed. Put down the nutrition needle and let her have a good rest. She should be awake in about three hours."

"Anything else you need to pay attention to?"

"She hasn't been in a stable mood recently, so she should do less things that would irritate her. Or else —"

"Well?"

"It's very likely he'll get depressed!"

As the doctor's words echoed in his mind, Qi Junhao's eyes darkened. He couldn't help but touch her forehead lightly with his uninjured hand.

It had already been more than five hours, why hadn't he woken up?

The man frowned. Seeing that her originally rosy cheeks were pale, and that there were lingering shadows in her eye sockets, he sighed softly and said in his heart that he was sorry.

After tucking her in, he got up and took a coat and draped it over his shoulders. Then he walked out of the room and down the stairs.

In the living room, Qi Siqian was sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping his afternoon tea. Seeing his grandson striding down the stairs with a gentle expression on his cold face, he asked in a deep voice, "Have you recovered?"

"He won't die!" Qi Junhao coldly replied, his attitude was not very good. His long legs moved quickly to his side and sat on the opposite sofa.

"You really don't know what's good for you. If I hadn't arrived in time, you and that woman would have already lost their lives." Qi Siqian was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring at Chu Feng. He thought to himself, "I am truly a lowly person. This brat has always been disrespectful to my grandfather. However, I am unwilling to hurt him in the slightest." If Qi Dingsen dared to be so disrespectful to him, who knew which desolate mountain he would be exiled to.

"Thank you, grandpa, for saving my life." These words were spoken with sincerity.

Qi Siqian's ashen face finally calmed down a little. He sipped some good red tea and asked casually: "What about the girl? still not awake? "

"En!" Qi Junhao nodded and suddenly thought of something. His legs crossed gracefully, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly. Soon, a trace of viciousness emerged in his eyes, "Who attacked her this morning?"

Although his voice was soft, it carried a bone-piercing coldness.

"What happened?" A light quietly flashed in Qi Siqian's eyes, and he quickly returned to normal, pretending to not know what was going on.

He had given the order for the morning episode to be sealed. Who was the one who was blabbering about it? Naturally, when he thought of Li Mengqi, the rare trace of guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace.

"Grandfather, it's meaningless if we continue acting." The old man's reaction was within Qi Junhao's expectation. He snorted coldly and stood up abruptly, "I will not let this matter go easily!"

Even if his grandfather hadn't said it, he probably knew who would be so bold as to beat up his treasures in the Qi Residence. Thinking of this, Qi Junhao's handsome face became even gloomier, like a thundercloud shrouding the sky. It was terrifying to the extreme.

Qi Siqian was clearly intimidated by the killing intent exuding from his body. He coughed lightly, and was forced to admit, "Yes, there was a small misunderstanding, but it's fine if things go on. Can it be that you have offended the Shen family for such a woman? Don't forget that Xingran's father once saved your lives. "

Twenty years ago, his son's family of four went out to play and were kidnapped. Thanks to Shen Xingran's father, Shen Yuntian, they were saved. Although his daughter-in-law died in the gunfight to protect her two grandchildren, his son, Qi Yuanxiong, also came back two years after his disappearance. However, ever since that day, Qi Siqian had regarded Shen Yuntian as an honored guest and had even promised that his only daughter, Shen Xingran, would become the Qi family's grandson.

After all these years, the capable Chen Yuntian had already occupied an extremely high position in Zeus. At this critical juncture, if Qi Junhao were to fall out with him, it would be a hundred times more beneficial for him to take over the whole Zeus.

For the sake of the entire Qi family's future, as the current patriarch, he could not be willful, nor could he be forgiven.

"I will repay the debt I owe the Shen family. However, the person who beat me cannot just let it go like this." With that, Qi Junhao turned and went upstairs.

Qi Siqian stared at his back for a few seconds with a heavy gaze, looking very complicated.

In the room.

Li Mengqi was sleeping soundly. When she woke up, she found herself lying on a large, comfortable bed. The scene before she fainted flashed through her mind. The scene before her eyes instantly caused the light in her eyes to dim.

After taking a deep breath, Li Mengqi got up and started walking on the carpet barefooted.

This room was none other than Qi Junhao's bedroom. It had a cold, gray tint, luxurious, and did not look like a vulgar room. There was a hint of beauty in the room, but she was not in the mood to appreciate it.

Li Mengqi looked at the cabinet and saw a beautiful oil stove. As she got closer, she realized that the oil inside the cabinet was made in a limited quantity in Bulgaria, and there were only ten bottles in the whole world. As for why she knew it so well, it was because she was an oil user, and she only loved roses.

Had he specially prepared this for her?

Thinking of this, Li Mengqi's originally deathly still heart began to throb. Just as she was about to reach for the delicate bottle beside the oil stove, the door opened with a creak, and she heard a familiar footstep.

Li Mengqi's back stiffened for a moment, and she slowly retracted her hand. She bit her lips, not knowing how to face him. For a moment, she just stood there without turning around.

As soon as Qi Junhao entered, he saw her standing in front of the cupboard with her back to him. The light in his eyes changed slightly as he locked the door. Then, he walked towards her with large strides.

As the sound of footsteps drew closer, Li Mengqi's heart beat faster and faster. She subconsciously covered her chest, only to find that her hands were covered in sweat. It really was useless, Li Mengqi!

She secretly despised herself in her heart as she heard his low voice, without any hint of emotion, faintly ring out —

"Since you're awake, let's go!"

Li Mengqi's fragile heart was stung by his words. She couldn't believe it. She turned around and saw a man standing in front of her like a towering god.

With a height difference of 22 centimeters, she had no choice but to raise her head to look into his eyes. However, at this moment, she didn't have the courage to look, afraid that she would see a heartlessness that would break her heart.

Li Mengqi's eyes narrowed, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face. Why couldn't she see through him? Hadn't he made it clear in the morning that Song Xingran was his fiancée?

What about her? Nothing!

In this world, everyone despised Little San, but she was unaware of it. Perhaps Shen Xingran was right, she was truly a little shameless. With her character, she would only embarrass the Li Clan. If her grandfather and brother knew about this, they would probably be ashamed of her, right?

Thinking of this, her heart ached again. She pretended to be strong and grit her teeth, but she didn't look at him. "Don't worry, I'll leave now!"

I don't need you to rush me. If you really chose Shen Xingran, then I can only … Bear with the pain and bless you!

She pulled at her collar, walked around to the other side of her mother, put her shoes on, and headed for the door.

Qi Junhao didn't stop her. Instead, he casually walked over to the sofa and sat down. He picked up a magazine, but his eyes followed her casually. Looking at her delicate back, the man's eyes flashed with a strange light and quickly disappeared.

Li Mengqi finally walked to the door and stretched out her hand to open it, but was surprised to find that the door had been locked.

She sighed secretly, blinking her eyes. She hesitated for a moment before she walked back with her cheeks puffed up. Qi Junhao, on the other hand, had already stopped looking at her before she turned around. He lowered his head and pretended to read the magazine seriously. Suddenly, two legs appeared in front of him. With a slight smile, he regained his noble and cold elegance. He raised his head and glanced at her. "You're not going to leave?"

"It's locked. Please open it for me, thank you."

"I don't have a plane for you this time." He raised his eyebrows, his expression too dark to read.

"I'll take the plane myself!" Li Mengqi gaped for a moment, then quickly recovered. Her voice was filled with determination.

"Are you sure you can go back to A City without a passport and visa?" He put down the magazine and tapped the arm of the sofa with one hand. His eyes narrowed and his posture became that of a noble prince.

"…"

This fact made Li Mengqi's originally pale face turn even paler. She clenched her small fists and loosened them again and again. In the end, she still proudly replied, "I will die!"

There was no end to it, and she had always been convinced of it.

"Alright, good luck!" Qi Junhao smiled and stood up.

Seeing that he had finally agreed, Li Mengqi didn't know why, but a trace of loneliness appeared in her heart. She didn't want him to see the weakness in her eyes. She quickly turned around and a hand suddenly appeared on her waist. The man hugged her from behind before she could react …

"So that's how streamer Li is ungrateful, huh?"

His voice was low, slightly husky, magnetic and charming, like a cello playing a tune, and it was easy to lose the will to resist.

At this moment, his chin was resting on her shoulder, and the scorching air sprayed all over her face, causing her to blush and feel her heart palpitate in disappointment.

It was clearly a question, but why did she feel an unprecedented intimacy?

Li Mengqi's heart skipped a beat, but just as she was about to speak, she heard him whisper in her ear, "If you want to leave, you can, but do you have to pay me back the debt first?"

"What do I owe you?"

His gentle tone made it impossible for her to speak loudly with him, so she could only soften her tone. Her voice was already sweet to begin with, but at this moment, it carried a hint of a delicate tone.

The woman he loved was in his arms, and she was acting so coquettishly to him. As long as he was a man, there was no way for him to not be moved. Of course, it was the same for Qi Junhao!

Subconsciously hugging her tightly, he revealed a charming smile: "I was injured because of you, so no matter what, you have to take care of me until I'm fully healed before you can leave right?"

"Hmph, I remember that someone said that taking care of you is the responsibility of your fiancée, isn't that the responsibility of Shen Ying Si? You're not going to find her! It's all because of you that my reputation was ruined, you bastard! "

When she thought of this, Li Mengqi's anger flared up. She forgot his status as a wounded soldier for a moment and used all her strength to twist her elbow, only to hear him groan. His hand loosened its grip on her waist, and the man unconsciously took two steps back and fell onto the sofa.

Li Mengqi turned her head and saw that his handsome face was scrunched up into a frown. Suddenly, she remembered that he was wounded. Her almond-shaped eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of guilt.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She hurried over, her hands on the arm of the sofa, her head stretched out to check his wound, but he held her by the waist and her soft little body fell into his arms.

"Yah!"

Li Mengqi groaned and cursed in a low voice, "You little rascal, how dare you lie to me?"

"Pah!"

A crisp sound suddenly came from her delicate butt, causing her to frown in pain. She pouted in grievance, and was just about to continue cursing when she heard his magnetic voice carrying a few traces of questioning —

"When did I say that Shen Xingran is my fiancee?"

"No? Humph! How dare I trouble you, Mr. Li? Take care of me. It is the duty of a fiancee. You dare to say that, but you've never said that before? "

Although she had lost her memory, it didn't mean that her memory was poor. These words, Li Mengqi thought to herself, were about seventy or eighty years old. It was impossible for her to forget them.

"To think that you are even a host. How can your Chinese language skills be worse than me, a person who grew up in a foreign country?" He ruffled the hair that fell in front of her forehead, and his deep voice was filled with a thick desire.

"Nonsense, I'm definitely better than you!" she retorted, craning her neck.

"Then, read it again. See if I have made it clear?" The man curled his lips, and a mischievous light flashed within his eyes.

Li Mengqi carefully analyzed the situation and felt that what he said made sense. This scoundrel actually dared to mislead her?

This was too much!

She wanted to punch him out of habit, but then she remembered his wound and gave up.

"Let go of me, I don't want to care about you anymore." She pursed her lips and deliberately turned her face away.

Qi Junhao laughed and pinched her cheek, "Are you hungry?"

"A bit!" Li Mengqi subconsciously rubbed her stomach that had been flat for a long time, only then did she realize that she hadn't eaten in a long time. Sigh, just what kind of days had she had!?

"What do you want to eat? I'll get someone to make it for you. " Qi Junhao's hand followed her example and touched her belly, but unlike her, he directly entered into his clothes and came into contact with his intimately.

Li Mengqi's face turned red from his actions. She held in her anger and wanted to pull his hand out of her clothes, but who knew that this fellow shamelessly continued to touch her, and even stopped —

"Hey, let go of me!"

"Isn't that enough?" Someone purposely misunderstood her meaning, "It's just that your hand doesn't feel as good as it did before. Later, get someone to get you some papaya milk!"

"I don't need it!" She gritted her teeth.

"Be good, and be brave enough to face your own problems. Of course, even if it's a little bit smaller, I won't dislike you. "

What was this called? You still want to be a good boy?

Li Mengqi was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

About half an hour later, the servant pushed the dining cart and came in. He filled the table with dishes and quickly left.

Li Mengqi was so hungry that her stomach was growling. Before Qi Junhao could say anything, she had already moved to the table and pulled a chair over to sit down.

The dessert on the table consisted of Chinese style, such as shrimp dumplings, braised eggs, lean porridge, stewed soup, and also Western style cheesecake, tiramisu, and chocolate dessert … There were so many that it was dazzling, but everything was something she liked.

What should he eat first?

It was so hard to make a choice!

Li Mengqi felt like she had difficulty choosing.

At this moment, Qi Junhao walked over and sat beside her. He picked up a glass of papaya milk and placed it in front of her, saying in a mischievous tone, "Here, what you need the most."

"Qi Junhao, if you don't speak, no one will take you for a mute." Li Mengqi was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she still continued to drink a few mouthfuls. She swore that she definitely wasn't doing it to increase her breasts, but … She had always liked to drink it!

Qi Junhao laughed and patted her on the head, "Eat more and replenish your energy. We still have work to do in the future."

"What is it?" She was somewhat puzzled.

"I can't move, you have to help me wash my clothes, bathe me —"

When Li Mengqi heard this, she almost choked to death from the prawn dumplings in her mouth. With great difficulty, she calmed down and pouted, "I don't want it!"

Just the thought of helping her bathe him was enough to make her shy to death. Furthermore, this was the Qi Residence, so her identity was extremely awkward. In the end, she still felt awkward.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt at a loss. Earlier, she had agreed to stay after being coaxed by him, but now, she realized that the following days wouldn't be so easy.

Qi Junhao had expected Li Mengqi's refusal, but he would not let her off so easily, "Do you want someone else to help you wash it? Aren't you afraid that I'll be seen naked? "

"You're a man, what are you afraid of?" She could not help smiling bitterly.

"Host Li is really generous!"

"Anyway, the one being looked at is you, not me!"

"You'd better remember —"

A cold light suddenly shot over, causing Li Mengqi's heart to tremble with fear. She quickly scooped up a bowl of thin meat porridge and gave it to him, changing the topic, "Aiya, this porridge tastes good, you should drink a little too."

"Feed me!"

"Uh, okay." Seeing that his right hand was indeed not convenient, she nodded very straightforwardly.

She held a white jade porcelain bowl in one hand and a spoon of porridge in the other. As if she was feeding a child, she was very patient.

The two of them did not speak, but exchanged glances. Their silence was better than their words. At this moment, the atmosphere had an indescribable warmth.

It was almost four in the afternoon by the time they finished eating.

"Take one of my coats and put it on. Let's go." Suddenly, Qi Junhao reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

"Go?" "Where to?" Li Mengqi was at a loss for words.

"To our own place." When he opened his mouth, his deep eyes were filled with a boundless smile.

"Huh? Aren't you living here? " She was dying of curiosity.

"This is my grandpa's place, I have my own place. "Why, are you unwilling to leave this place?" Grandfather placed great emphasis on recuperation, thus turning the Qi Residence into a first-class paradise for the air and environment. Based on his current injured condition, staying at the Qi Residence to recuperate was the best choice. However, he knew that she would neither get used to it nor like it. Thus, he had long since planned to wait for her to recover before leaving.

"Of course not." Li Mengqi hastily shook her head. She didn't want to stay in such an unpleasant place.

"Then quickly get dressed." He opened the wardrobe, took out a coat and handed it to her. "Wear it first. I'll buy you some clothes when you leave this place."

"En!" Li Mengqi obediently complied and put on her coat.

The temperature inside the house was relatively high, so when he arrived at the Qi Residence, Aunt Zhang had only prepared thin clothes for her. If she went outside into the snow and ice, she would definitely freeze to death. Qi Junhao was still the most considerate person, she thought to herself.

The two of them went downstairs and were about to leave when they suddenly heard a bellow coming from behind them.

"All of you, stand still!"
