C19

I could even feel the sticky sweat on my skin. Like a bug crawling back and forth, it gave me goosebumps.

I was a little desperate, an ordinary person would definitely avoid brother Chuang and this hoodlum by his side. The rough rocks seemed to have scraped the exposed skin on my back, making me break out in a cold sweat.

It was clear and loud.

Being slapped in the street by a young lady was too unexpected.

"You bitch!"

brother Chuang's eyes reddened. Veins popped out from his forehead and with one hand, he grabbed onto my collar and lifted me up along the wall like a little chick.

Hiss.

He took in a breath of cold air and felt a sharp pain coming from his wound.

I held my head high and bit my lip.

Like a lone warrior.

Even if I had planned to give my innocence to Jin Zicheng in the past, it doesn't mean that I will be able to get along with everyone from now on!

Especially perverts like the brother Chuang, who lived in the lowest levels of society and acted extremely brutally and cruelly.

"You want to build a memorial archway as a whore?"

The brother Chuang breathed heavily and slowly pressed his face against mine. The smell of smoke and alcohol was on the tip of my nose, and the stench was so strong that I almost fainted.

Since I had already torn off my face, I no longer begged for mercy by speaking kindly to him.

"I am a whore, you are a scum that doesn't care about food!"

Jin Zicheng's sarcasm already made my heart ache as if it had been sprinkled with sulfuric acid, and he once again opened up my scar.

Pow!

The corner of his mouth revealed a hint of a sweet smell, and a loud roaring sound came from his ears.

Like throwing a rag, I was thrown onto the dusty ground by him. The people behind me all started to cheer. brother Chuang, stepping on his leather shoes, squatted in front of me with a sinister and proud look on his face.

"If you cherish this body, then those brothers will dirty you as well." As he said that, he turned around and growled at the few ruffians who were eager to give it a try. Immediately, cheers broke out from the streets.

I was dizzy from the fall, and the thing in front of me spun and blurred.

The eyes of the passersby were filled with indifference. A few onlookers hid not too far away, excited and curious.

Today might be the day I die.

After Jin Zicheng knows that I have been humiliated, he probably won't help Yin Zun anymore.

His hopes were all gone.

"Stop."

The familiar warmth gave me hope again, and I followed the source of the voice to where I was looking.

Yi Xudong stood alone at the mouth of the alley, the light of the setting sun shone a circle of warmth on him, and the light of a smile that was tainted by the corners of his mouth hung lightly on his face.

He suddenly thought of a very old-fashioned line.

My beloved is a hero, one day he will step on the rainbow clouds to save me.

But Yi Xudong, I can't do it.

In the chaos of the alleyway, Yi Xudong was wearing a pure white cotton T-shirt, which was a huge contrast to the fancy street thugs in front of me.

His eyes suddenly became moist.

"You ignorant fool, hurry up and f * ck off." A peculiar look flashed past brother Chuang's eyes, and the hand that was grabbing onto my collar loosened slightly.

The little brother behind him stared at Yi Xudong like a tiger staring at its prey. I was a little worried. He had helped me too much, and I didn't want him to see me in such a sorry state.

"You can go."

Gritting his teeth, he opened his mouth and tried to pull him away.

"Miss Qing He, shouldn't you consider committing yourself to such a situation?" Yi Xudong looked at me in ridicule.

"Fucking disgusting." brother Chuang fiercely threw me to the ground, waved his hand, and the people behind me all rushed forward.

"If I remember correctly, you should have hidden quite a few good things in Yin Zun's room 302." Yi Xudong saw that group of people were standing in front of him, glaring at him like tigers stalking their prey. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his words caused brother Chuang Mu's expression to change.

"You … "Why are you doing this?"

brother Chuang looked at him with some apprehension. He stopped his men's actions, stared at me angrily, then turned and left.

"Are you alright?"

Yi Xudong walked forward and gently propped me up from the ground. Frowning at the abrasions on my body, the light in my eyes was a little cold.

"The attacks of these people are neither light nor heavy."

I was a little surprised, but when he held me horizontally, I let out a low cry and subconsciously wrapped my arms around his neck.

It wasn't until I got close to his car that I realized I was acting a little too intimately. He wanted to let go of her hands in embarrassment, but Yi Xudong chuckled.

"Every time I see you, I feel like a princess who has met with difficulties."

I sat on the soft seat and took in a light breath. Looking at the purplish bruise on my wrist, I felt a little disappointed.

Even if Jin Zicheng's attitude towards me was ambiguous, Sister Yun had flattered me so much that it was like flowers in the sky. Even in the face of such a cruel bastard like brother Chuang, I am still powerless.

He could even drag her away and ruin her at any time.

"Put it on."

Yi Xudong sat in the front passenger seat and handed me a wide jacket.

"Thank you."

It was hard to say with a dry throat, and his voice was tinged with hoarseness.

Lowering his head to look at his torn clothes, his cheeks were instantly burned. Just now, I was too flustered and didn't notice that my clothes were being pulled by brother Chuang to the point where half of my chest was exposed.

He hurriedly put Yi Xudong's clothes on, and after realising what had happened, he started to feel fear.

"You … Do you know the brother Chuang? " Seeing Yi Xudong sitting in the front seat, not saying anything, he awkwardly tried to find a topic to talk.

"Something like that." Yi Xudong looked at the alley behind him and his expression suddenly changed. I followed his gaze, shocked.

brother Chuang returned with a group of men holding wooden sticks. His face was brimming with killing intent. Looking at their gazes, I started to panic.

"Little Zhang, drive back to the house."

Yi Xudong's voice became serious and closed all the windows. Xiao Zhang looked at the posture of the people behind him, stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot out like an arrow.

I remembered what Yi Xudong said just now. brother Chuang had hidden something in Yin Zun's private box. And the reason the brother Chuang is bringing people here, is because of the two of us.

Could it be …

I have heard of people in Yin Zun who trade prohibited goods in private. Could it be …

"Qing He, what plans do you have for the future?"

Only when they had left a safe zone did Yi Xudong's complexion slightly improve, and he returned to his usual jade-like appearance as he softly inquired.

Since he already knew that I was working at Yin Zun, I didn't plan to hide anything. I slightly moved my throat, intending to tell him everything.

"Yin Zun will start his new business in a few days." My subconscious isn't willing to talk about working at Yin Zun's place. As a lowly person, I originally felt that my work at Yin Zun's place was a bit dirty.

Silence.

There was a long silence.

Until the car drove into his garage, Yi Xudong remained silent.

I was uneasy.

"Let's go into the house and change."

I forced a smile and followed him in.

Yi Xudong's house's decorations were very different. There was a large sunflower planted in a flowerpot in front of the french windows. Jin Zicheng, on the other hand, couldn't wait to change all of the decorations into black and white.

"Sit." Yi Xudong held a cup of ginger tea and placed it on the table in front of me with a smile on his face.

It was a far cry from what he had just experienced.

The Yi Xudong before entering the door, seemed like it was Gen Jinzicheng.

I lightly said thank you. Heating the cup of warm tea, the sweet and spicy tea slowly warmed my stomach along with the throat.

"If Miss Qing He doesn't mind, you can come and be my secretary."

Yi Xudong half bent his body, his curvy eyelashes lightly covering his eyes, his sincere gaze made even my subconscious rejection stick in my throat.

Yi Xudong's private secretary, me?

"I can't …"

He said: "I know that you want to help me, but I don't have any education or experience. Furthermore, if my identity was found out in the future, it would be a loss to the reputation of the company."

In one breath, I said all that I had in mind. I exhaled a long breath, as if I had completed a task.

Yi Xudong obviously did not think that I would reject him so completely, and put all of my shortcomings in front of him. My attitude was firm. He smiled wryly and didn't say anything else.

"If you want to come in the future, the door to our company will always be open for you."

"Yes."

She looked at him gratefully and then changed her clothes in the room upstairs with the help of a servant.

But I didn't know it, just as I was going upstairs. Yi Xudong's face suddenly became gloomy and cold, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and started berating about something.

At this moment, I, who was upstairs, felt even more uneasy.

The clothes brought by the servants were of good quality, and the labels on the clothes were taken off with care. Uneasily, I picked out a seemingly ordinary long skirt and put it on my body. Then, I started to stare blankly at it.

Today's Yi Xudong always gave me a different feeling, especially when we were in cars. I thought again of his cold face in the car, and the uneasiness in my heart grew heavy like a sponge with water.

"Miss Qing He?"

The butler worriedly called out my name from outside. I was stunned for a moment before I quickly got up and left.

"Mr. Yee is waiting for you downstairs for dinner."

The butler, who was in his sixties, had a head of silver hair. His neither haughty nor humble attitude made me feel uncomfortable.

"Alright …"

I replied and quickly left the room.

"I heard you like to eat fried buns." Yi Xudong's face was still smiling like a rising sun. I shook my head and silently complained about how I could imagine him acting the same way as Gen Jinzicheng.

"Thank you, Mr. Yee."
