However … Ji Xinqing bit her lower lip, preventing herself from crying.

She couldn't help it.

Ji Xinqing felt a sharp pain in her heart as she thought of Meng Qin Guan carrying her around with another woman.

"Miss Ji."

Tang Jinyao slowly placed his hand on her shoulder.

Her clothes were drenched by the cold rain, but Ji Xinqing suddenly felt a burning sensation on her shoulder.

She subconsciously pushed Tang Jinyao away.

Tang Jinyao was caught off guard by her push. He didn't manage to stabilize himself and fell to the ground, the umbrella in his hand falling to the ground.

The rain hit him mercilessly.

Hearing the commotion, Ji Xinqing raised her head. She hadn't expected that just now, a single push from her would cause Nie Yan to fall into such a sorry state.

Tang Yao was soaked from head to toe as he laid on one of his palms on the ground. His lips curved upwards as he looked at Ji Xinqing.

Ji Xinqing was frightened and did not know what to do.

"Mr. Tang, I-I-I didn't do it on purpose."

Despite his bedraggled appearance, Tang Jinyao still felt a sense of nobility from birth.

He calmly stood up, raised his umbrella once more, and extended his hand towards Ji Xinqing.

"Miss Ji, do you want to continue squatting down? Seeing that I fell down for you, are you... It's time to wake up? " Tang Jinyao raised her eyebrows and said.

Ji Xinqing raised her head and looked at him. Hearing his words, she actually burst out laughing.

In her memories, every time Tang Jinyao appeared in front of her, she would look like a young noble.

But this time, he was actually hurt so badly by her.

The corners of Ji Xinqing's mouth widened. After a long while, she stretched out her hand.

Tang Jinyao helped her up.

After squatting down for a long time, Ji Xinqing's legs started to feel numb. She fell directly into Tang Jinyao's arms after she stood up.

She struggled to her feet. "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang."

However, Tang Jinyao laughed softly and said, "Miss Ji, what's the point of apologizing? I'm already wet, are you going to get wet again?"

Ji Xinqing did not know whether he was doing it intentionally or not. However, after hearing the teasing, she felt better.

Ji Xinqing had been in the rain for too long, she didn't feel it at first, but as she walked in the rain, she felt more and more cold.

"Achoo, choo …" Ji Xinqing's body shrunk into a ball as she sneezed non-stop.

Tang Jinyao walked over to her side. Seeing the distance between her and him, he wrinkled his brows. In the next second, he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Ji Xinqing instinctively resisted as she called out softly, "Mr. Tang."

He tightly held her, "Don't move, do you want me to not be able to hold on to the umbrella?"

The umbrella wasn't very big. One person was more than enough, but two people were barely able to hold on.

Upon realizing this, Ji Xinqing's struggle gradually subsided.

However, when she felt the sensation on her waist, Ji Xinqing's expression turned unnatural.

"Miss Ji, it's not appropriate for you to go back like this. There's a clubhouse in front, let me bring you to change."

Ji Xinqing slowly grabbed the wet clothes and whispered back, "Thank you, Mr. Tang."

She was not worried about meeting Wang Jianfen.

Wang Jianfen was a card player, so perhaps he was in a room somewhere?

Ji Xinqing and Tang Jinyao walked into the cloud garden.

Both of them had just been drenched from the rain.

Rain ran down the legs of their trousers and into the carpet.

Looking at the dirty carpet, Ji Xinqing felt uneasy.

The cloud park could be considered as a high-end clubhouse in the imperial city, but she …

"Young Master."

Ji Xinqing was startled by the sudden voice.

Looking up, she saw a waitress standing beside Tang Jinyao.

The server was currently talking to Tang Jinyao in a low voice, and her attitude was very respectful.

Ji Xinqing quickly understood.

The Tang Clan's influence in the Imperial Capital permeated into every industry.

The attitude of the waiter towards Tang Jinyao wasn't surprising.

Ji Xinqing stood at the side in a daze.

After an unknown period of time, a pair of leather shoes appeared before her eyes. Ji Xinqing raised her head and greeted, "Mr. Tang."

"Let's go, Miss Ji."

Ji Xinqing nodded in agreement before following Tang Jinyao into the elevator. She watched as he pressed down a number on the highest floor.

As the elevator slowly closed, Ji Xinqing saw the waiter still standing there, staring at her with a strange expression.

It seemed like … What's wrong? Ji Xinqing frowned.

Before she could think about it, Ji Xinqing sneezed again.

Tang Jinyao stood off to the side, her lips slowly curling up into a smile.

The top floor of the cloud park, similar to a hotel service.

Ji Xinqing braced herself and followed Tang Jinyao into a room.

"Miss Ji, go take a hot bath first. I'll get someone to bring the clothes up later." Tang Jin said to Ji Xinqing.

Ji Xinqing stood there nervously.

She vaguely remembered that she had heard something like that when she was drunk last night …

Ji Xinqing no longer dared to think about what would happen in the future that would cause her to blush. She quickly thanked Tang Jin Yao before hurriedly entering the bathroom and locking the door behind her.

Tang Jinyao chuckled softly as he called Tang Han.

In less than a quarter of an hour, someone knocked on the door and Tang Han's voice rang out, "Young Master, I've already bought my clothes."

"Come in."

Tang Han walked in and was shocked when he saw the drenched Tang Jinyao standing by the window.

"Young master, why …"

Tang Jin Yao shook his head, causing Tang Han to stop asking questions.

However, he could guess that Tang Jinyao's expression had something to do with the woman who had been squatting by the corner crying earlier.

"I'll go to the other room later. You put down your clothes and stand guard outside the door."

Had he become a gatekeeper?

Tang Han nodded and replied, "Yes."

After Tang Han left, Tang Jinyao walked up to the bathroom's door and knocked a few times.

"Miss Ji." he shouted.

Soon, the sound of the water stopped flowing. Hearing Ji Xinqing's mosquito-like voice, Tang Jinyao asked softly, "What's wrong, Mr. Tang?"

Tang Yao shook his head in amusement. "Miss Ji, I've already put some clothes on your bed. When you're done bathing, just come out. Don't worry, no one will barge in. Tang Han's waiting outside."

"Thank you, Mr. Tang."

When Tang Jinyao walked out of his bedroom and saw Tang Han outside, he ordered, "When she's finished bathing, bring her over to my place."

"Yes."

After taking a hot bath, Ji Xinqing opened the door slightly and took a few glances at the bedroom. After confirming that there was no one around, she let out a sigh of relief and walked out of the bathroom.

The bedroom was fully heated, so Ji Xinqing didn't feel cold at all.

She saw a dress on the bed.

If she had to calculate it carefully, this should be something that Tang Jinyao had bought for her … The third female outfit, right?

Ji Xinqing looked away unnaturally.

Why did she owe Tang Jinyao more and more?

If this continued, what could she do?

Sighing, Ji Xinqing quickly changed into a woman's outfit.

When she walked out of her bedroom and saw Tang Han, Ji Xinqing politely called out, "Assistant Tang."

It really was her.

Tang Han lowered his head as he recalled Tang Jinyao's instructions. Not daring to waste even a second, he said, "Miss Ji, let's head this way."

Ji Xinqing politely thanked him, "Sorry to trouble you, Assistant Tang."

Tang Han brought Ji Xinqing to a bedroom at the end of the corridor.

He lightly knocked a few times on the door, and a man's "Enter" came from inside.

Tang Han then opened the door and gestured for Ji Xinqing to enter.
