C105

Li Mengqi thought, no matter what, she should express her concern. After all, Lu Kuchen was her brother, and the one who hit him was her beloved man.

Ah, what a headache!

But, would this overbearing fellow let her go?

The answer was obviously impossible!

Thus, Li Mengqi's clever little head spun for a moment before she looked up at Qi Junhao, "I won't be going with you to the company today. I suddenly remembered that I haven't done anything else."

"What is it?"

Qi Junhao glanced at her for a moment before asking, "What's the matter?"

"I haven't been shopping in New York City, and I don't have any clothes to wear. I want to go to the mall to buy some sets."

Almost no woman disliked shopping, so Li Mengqi naturally thought of this excuse.

She had thought that Qi Junhao would agree to her request, but unfortunately, the man didn't want to take advantage of her.

Placing the hair on her forehead behind her ears, Qi Junhao said in a low voice, "You are tired of shopping in this special period of time. "I'll have my clothes delivered to the office for you to choose. Be good, be obedient!"

How could he let her out of his sight at this time?

Don't even think about it!

"But I really want to go shopping!"

She bit her lips, not planning on giving up!

"Alright, I'll go with you!"

Seeing this, the man took a step back.

"Eh …."

When Li Mengqi heard this, she hastily waved her hand, "Forget it, let's send him to the office."

"Alright!"

Qi Junhao nodded, but said nothing more.

While waiting for him to drive over, Li Mengqi couldn't resist taking out her phone from her bag and dialing Lu Kuchen's number. Unfortunately, she was always busy and no one answered.

Li Mengqi's heart was anxious. Her delicate eyebrows knitted together as her dark eyes rolled around. She simply typed out a short message —

"Max, how are your injuries?"

After she typed those words, she held the phone in her hand. Her expression unconsciously became nervous.

Yesterday, Hades seemed to have hit pretty hard. Sigh, he definitely wouldn't let anything happen to him!

After waiting for two minutes, without even waiting for Lu Zhichen's reply, it turned out that Qi Junhao's Ferrari had arrived.

"Get in!"

He rolled down the window and called to her.

Li Mengqi put the phone back in her bag, walked over in small steps, opened the car door and got in.

The Ferrari was quickly started, and in a few moments, it had merged into the crowded traffic.

Along the way, Qi Junhao was focused on driving. He didn't say a word, and the air in the carriage became heavy for some reason.

Li Mengqi sat in the passenger seat, in no mood to pay attention to the scenery outside the car.

It had been a long time since he sent her a text message. Had he really been hurt so badly that he hadn't replied to her?

Hey, Hades, do you hate Chen-gege that much?

If he had nothing to do, he would just randomly eat vinegar. There was really nothing he could do!

Jealous?

Li Mengqi suddenly noticed this crucial point, and subconsciously glanced at Qi Junhao, who was driving. Seeing his serious expression, his perfect profile, and his impeccable appearance, her heart rippled. He was so handsome!

Sigh, at a time like this, she could actually offend someone who was crazy about women, she was really convinced of herself!

Li Mengqi secretly despised herself in her heart. Suddenly, she remembered that the first time she saw him, she also felt like a little deer was bumping around. It seemed that no matter how much time passed, no matter how much the world changed, it was difficult for one's liking to be annihilated, just like how she treated him.

But what about him?

She wasn't sure. She wanted to ask, but the words stuck in her throat. She didn't know how to begin.

Just like that, Li Mengqi continued to hesitate. Even after the car drove into the underground parking lot of the Star Headquarters, she still didn't say anything.

Li Mengqi's heart was filled with worry, but she couldn't say it. She unconsciously wrinkled her brows, and her entire person seemed to be depressed and unhappy.

Of course, Qi Junhao had noticed her strange behavior. His mind flashed with the image of her standing in front of the hotel's door, sending a text message. His handsome face darkened. At this moment, his aura seemed to grow colder.

After getting off the car, he did not hug her or hug her like he did before. Instead, he walked straight over, pressed the button on the elevator, and waited for her inside.

Seeing this, a sense of loss unconsciously welled up in Li Mengqi. She bit her lip and quickly followed.

The elevator door quickly closed. In the quiet space, only their breathing could be heard. No one spoke.

Li Mengqi stole a glance at him and saw that he had a stern expression on her face. His expression was as cold as always, and her little heart involuntarily tightened. She secretly sighed.

When they reached the 77th floor, the elevator suddenly shook violently. The bright lights were extinguished in an instant. The entire room was pitch-black, and it was frighteningly dark.

Ah!

Li Mengqi screamed in fear, her small body trembling. She didn't know how to react, she only had a faint feeling that she was doomed.

She had seen too much news about the recent incident in the elevator. It would be fake if she said there was no shadow. Plus, this was the 77th floor. If she fell down, she and Hades would be dead.

No —

She shook her head in horror, and the man's strong arms wrapped around her. The woman was still in a panicked state when she heard his low voice sounding faintly above her head — —

"Don't be afraid, it's okay!"

He patted her on the shoulder and comforted her gently.

Li Mengqi pressed her body against his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat. The fear in her heart had miraculously disappeared without a trace at this moment.

She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. She could feel that it was only his seductive masculinity that was being absorbed into her lungs. Her face unconsciously flushed red.

Hades, he's her Hades...

An anxious call quickly came from outside.

"Boss, are you in there?"

It was Zhang Chi. He was in charge of monitoring the elevator system. He just realized that something was wrong, but he was not scared to death.

"Hm!" "How many minutes until it's fixed?"

Qi Junhao asked in a low voice, his thoughts clear and calm.

"About 15 minutes. Please wait a moment!"

"Alright!"

Qi Junhao replied. Seeing the little girl in his arms hugging him tightly, he couldn't help but miss the feeling of being dependent on her.

He reached out and touched her hair. Lowering his head, he gently kissed the top of her head. He comforted her gently, "Don't worry. You will be able to leave soon. I won't let anything happen to you, hmm?"

"En!"

She nodded lightly, her small face still buried in his chest, unwilling to let go.

The man seemed to enjoy her embrace, subconsciously hugging her tightly. The distance between their hearts became closer at this moment.

The surrounding atmosphere was no longer cold and oppressive. Instead, it was filled with an indescribable warmth. No one wanted to break this tranquil atmosphere.

Finally, there was a flash, and the light returned. The elevator began to run, climbing up the stairs, and finally, on the top floor, it opened.

Li Mengqi finally let out a sigh of relief and raised her head. The man's eyes, which were as deep as ink, were focused on her. It was like a magnet with a strong gravitational force that caught her gaze.

Li Mengqi's pretty face once again turned red. Her soft and tender hands unconsciously formed a fist as she lightly punched his chest. She coquettishly said, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beauty before?"

Her acting coquettishly was very enjoyable for men. Their originally tense mood also relaxed due to her cute and innocent expression.

Qi Junhao couldn't help but think that even though he had done countless psychological constructions to make him care less about her, but every time he finally managed to build a fort, it would collapse very quickly because of her frown and smile, just like now —

His Adam's apple slid up and down twice, and he reached out and hooked her jaw. Before she could react, his thin lips were pressed against hers, and he kissed her deeply.

Li Mengqi was frightened by his sudden action and pushed him, but she found it to be completely useless.

She was extremely shy. Not to mention that the elevator doors were still open, there were surveillance cameras here. The moment she thought of their intimacy, it was very likely that they would be noticed by the interstellar employees.

Qi Junhao didn't expect her to bite him again, so he quickly pulled back his tongue and slapped her behind with his palm, warning her, "Don't bite my tongue!"

Li Mengqi wasn't afraid of him at all. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she glared at him, "Humph! From now on, you're not allowed to kiss me in public!"

"Oh? In other words, any kiss in private is fine? "

The man curled his lips, his eyes filled with a lustful smile. It was so gentle that it could melt any glacier.

Li Mengqi was a little dazed. After staring blankly for a few seconds, she stretched out her hand to hit him and snappily replied, "This lady is obsessed with cleanliness. If you kiss others, don't even think of kissing me!"

She hadn't forgotten what had happened last night!

"Mr. Li, if you ask others to do it at the same time, aren't you going to have to look at yourself as well?"

As long as he thought of the intimate interaction between her and Lu Kuchen, Qi Junhao could not help but mind. When he said those words, his tone also unconsciously became stern.

"What do you mean? What do I need to review? "But you, you sure are capable. To think that you would be able to make your new partner give me a woman's item in the middle of the night. I am so impressed that I willingly admit defeat."

After enduring for an entire night, she was finally able to say those words. Li Mengqi couldn't help but feel incomparably relaxed.

Qi Junhao knew that she had misunderstood him as soon as he heard his words, but at this moment, he didn't want to explain himself.

However, did he really want her to distrust him so much?

Besides, she had done so many things that had let him down. How could he let her down so quickly?

Seeing that he didn't refute her words, Li Mengqi got angry and kicked him hard. Then she took the opportunity to push him away and quickly walked out.

Qi Junhao shook his head helplessly and followed her leisurely with his hands in his pockets.

Although Li Mengqi had never been here, she quickly found the CEO's office based on her first impression of the place. However, after seeing a face that had a very deep impression of him in the past two days, her originally bad mood had now turned into one of fury.

Linda, who was walking out of Qi Junhao's office, was startled when she saw Li Mengqi. Seeing the hostility in his cousin's eyes, she immediately understood that she was most likely his cousin, the one who hid away all those lovely beauties.

Even if she had seen him, she would still have a good impression of him, let alone a man who was a visual animal.

Besides, she was wearing her most beloved dress! Because she liked it too much, she bought it. Unfortunately, she couldn't wear it at all, so she could only put it aside and never wore it. She didn't expect this woman to be so outstanding.

When she saw Qi Junhao leisurely walk over with his hands in his pockets, she shook her body to welcome him. Her jade-like hands took the opportunity to grab his arm, and she said in a tender voice, "Hades, promise to eat with my dad tonight, don't forget it!"

"Alright!"

Qi Junhao nodded and glanced at Li Mengqi out of the corner of his eyes. Seeing her gloomy expression, he took a deep breath and pulled her hand away, saying coldly, "Hurry up and go to work!"

"Alright, then I'll go downstairs first."

Of course, Linda knew that it was enough, and she quickly left for her own office.

Li Mengqi had not expected that woman to be an employee of the Fenghua Corporation. Furthermore, she was so intimate with Qi Junhao that she could meet her parents. Immediately, her face turned as cold as ice.

At this time, Qi Junhao had already walked over and was about to open the door when Li Mengqi suddenly raised his hand and slapped him.

"Pah!" A sound, in the silence of the corridor, particularly crisp, but she could not hear it, because at that moment she could only hear the sound of her own heart breaking.

It's time to wake up, isn't it?

Was there still a need for her to go back in at this time?

There was probably no other foolish woman in the world like her. After witnessing so many facts, she was still thinking if she had misunderstood and should have listened to his explanation …

She was really stupid!

Thinking of this, she laughed self-deprecatingly and suddenly turned around. The next second, her slim waist was hugged from behind. She exclaimed in surprise as the man kicked open the office door and carried her inside.

"Let me go!"

"Qi Junhao, you bastard, I don't want to see you again!"

"Bastard, let me go!"

Li Mengqi jumped restlessly in his arms, her arms and legs flailing wildly, but the man ignored her and walked to the sofa, throwing her away. Soon after, her hands supported the armrest of the sofa, trapping her in his arms.

"Shout!" Scolded! Other than scolding and beating people, what else can you do? "

The man's face was like rolling thunderclouds, extremely terrifying.

Li Mengqi's heart thumped rapidly, and she couldn't help but recall when she had made a ruckus in the past. His expression had been the same, gloomy and terrifying.

But at that time, she was too stubborn and didn't know how to use softness to overcome strength, so every time she was bullied by him very miserably. Not getting out of bed for three days and three nights was a very normal thing.

But now …

She wasn't making trouble for no reason!

Indeed, he had let her down, so she had nothing to worry about.

Thinking about it, Li Mengqi became even more daring, and coldly snorted: "I wanted to hit you and scold you, what about it? Who was that woman? If you don't explain it to me clearly, I'll look for Lu Kuchen! "

Didn't he mind Lu Kuchen a lot?

In that case, why should she not fulfill his wish?

"You dare?"

Qi Junhao narrowed his eyes, bent his handsome face down and approached her with a devilish sneer on his face, "Do you believe that I won't let him see tomorrow's sun?"

"You — bastard!"

Li Mengqi was so angry that she almost died. She couldn't win in a fight, she couldn't win in a fight, and she didn't even have the ability to threaten him. What could she do with him?

The man was cold as he pinched her chin and warned, "There is nothing in this world that I don't dare to do! You better remember this clearly. Even if I don't want you, you're not allowed to find anyone else! You find one, I'll kill one, find two, and I'll kill a pair. If you don't believe me, you can try! "

"You …"

Li Mengqi bit her lips, unable to utter a word. However, a strange light quietly flashed through her eyes.

"Alright, be good and stay here to read. Get someone to bring your clothes over later!"

Seeing that she wasn't as arrogant as before, the man patted her cheeks and his tone couldn't help but soften a bit.

He was about to leave when she grabbed his neck like an octopus.

Qi Junhao froze for a moment, but before he could say anything, he heard her muffled voice, "That woman, you still haven't told me who she is."

She must know this answer today!

Love rivals, how could she look down on them?

"She's my secretary, Linda!"

He had made it a point not to tell her who Linda really was.

"More than that, I'm afraid? The secretary was so close to you that she could kiss you and follow her to see her parents.

If she did, she really would have to go back to kindergarten.

"Do you believe me or not!"

The man pulled her claws off her neck and said coldly: "You and Lu xun were in the car. A man and a woman alone together through the night, did I question you? You just pushed me away for someone you didn't know, but did you think about me from my point of view? The Star King YX was set up for you. You wouldn't be willing to speak for yourself, you even ran over to Lu Kuchen to speak for you, and you even came all the way to New York. I have never done anything wrong to you, but what about you? "You dare say you don't?"

He asked one question after another, successfully provoking the guilt in Li Mengqi's heart, causing her to instantly be in the wrong.

All of this was too complicated. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. In the end, she could only bite her lip and softly say, "I'm sorry, but I have my reasons!"

"Enough, I don't want to hear more about the past."

Qi Junhao suddenly stood up and turned around, leaving her a cold and indifferent figure, which somehow hurt her heart.

Li Mengqi panicked. Without any hesitation, she jumped down from the sofa and ran over to hug him. She pitifully asked, "Then do you still want me now?"

"…"

The man was silent and did not answer.

"I promise I will never leave you again. Can you not be angry?"

After Li Mengqi finished speaking, she nervously closed her eyes, causing her eyelashes to uncontrollably tremble with a hint of unease.

She had to let go of her pride to say this. If he pushed her away, she wouldn't be able to even imagine whether she could endure it or not.

Don't hurt me, Hades!

She couldn't help but secretly pray in her heart.

But heaven did not hear her prayer. The next moment, the man pulled her hand away and closed his eyes, as if to warn himself, as if to accuse her: "It's no use, your promise, I will never believe it again!"

She had said this three times before, but every time, it was the result of his wounds. He was a fool, so he believed in her again and again. But now, he would never allow himself to make a mistake again.

He was willing to continue to love and force her, but —

He could no longer believe in her!

His words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Li Mengqi's enthusiasm. At this moment, she thought, even if she told him that she had recovered her memory, would his mood be even worse? After all, six years ago, her leaving without saying anything should have been a great injury to him, right?

However, all of this wasn't voluntary, so how could she bear to leave …

What could he do to rekindle his trust in her?

For almost the entire morning, Li Mengqi had been thinking about this, but unfortunately, nothing happened.

Around 11.30pm, Qi Junhao was still in a meeting room when someone delivered a limited edition spring dress for this season's luxury brands. Li Mengqi randomly picked two sets and sent them away.

She was wearing the dress Linda had brought with her last night. Li Mengqi's heart was filled with panic, so she quickly went to the washroom and took off her clothes.
