Ji Xinqing was stunned, but soon after, her eyes turned sour.

Ever since the Meng Family moved out, Ji Xinqing knew that she no longer had the protection of Meng Qin Guan. She pretended that she was very strong and did not care, but, had she been seen through by this man?

Tang Jinyao took off her jacket and tightly wrapped it around her petite body, "Sorry, it was my negligence that he escaped from the Gu family. I won't let this happen again."

Ji Xinqing lowered her eyes and did not resist. She was very tired and only wanted to rest.

She lay obediently in his arms like a kitten. Tang Jinyao's frown slowly relaxed. Lowering his head to glance at Ji Xinqing, he slowly pursed his lips.

He took her in his arms and strode forward.

The man's chest was broad and powerful. Not long after Ji Xinqing closed her eyes, she slowly opened them.

When she was in a relationship with Meng Qing-jie, she would at most hold his hand and hug him. Meng Qing-jie had never taken the initiative to hug her.

Later on, she married Meng Qinwen. That day's wedding was the first and last time in her life that she hugged a princess.

However, Tang Jin was …

Ji Xinqing's eyes flashed. It was not difficult to guess Tang Jinyao's thoughts. He was truly not simple to her.

Tang Jinyao opened the car door and slowly put Ji Xinqing inside.

Ji Xinqing sat up straight and thanked him softly again, "Thank you, Mr. Tang."

Tang Jinyao glanced at her through the rearview mirror. Since he didn't want to waste his time on words like 'thank you', he started the car very quickly.

After the car drove for a while, he finally said, "It's not suitable for you to go back like this. Go to my place and clean yourself up first."

Ji Xinqing lowered her eyes and did not refuse, "Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Tang."

The car quickly drove to the private villa.

Tang Jinyao got off the car with the intention to hug Ji Xinqing, but Ji Xinqing had already guessed his intentions. She got off the car first and took a few steps back, separating the two of them by a large distance.

Tang Jinyao narrowed her eyes as she looked at Ji Xinqing with a smile that was not a smile.

Did this woman want to draw a clear line between them now?

Thus, she had still guessed it …

Tang Jinyao chuckled as he strode past Ji Xinqing towards the villa. "Miss Ji, let's go."

The villa was pitch black. Tang Jinyao turned on the lights, and the two of them changed into a pair of shoes before walking into the living room. Tang Yao then turned to Ji Xinqing and said, "It's the same bedroom as last time. There's clothes in the closet. You should go and clean yourself up first."

"Thank you." Ji Xinqing took off Tang Jinyao's jacket. She originally wanted to give it to him, but she paused for a moment before putting it on the sofa.

Ji Xinqing came to the bedroom where she slept.

Ji Xinqing still remembered how she had forced Tang Jin to join her team when she was drunk.

He shook his head, not daring to think further.

There were two large wardrobe in the bedroom, but Ji Xinqing was frowning. She remembered that the wardrobe she saw last time seemed to be a little smaller than this one.

Was there a mistake in his memory?

Ji Xinqing took a step forward and opened the wardrobe. She was stunned to see so many women's clothing inside.

Stunned, Ji Xinqing closed the wardrobe and opened another one.

There were also numerous women's outfits hanging on the wall.

Ji Xinqing took a deep breath and picked up a woman's outfit. She looked at the signboard behind her.

More than four digits, and it was her size, S.

Ji Xinqing slowly frowned.

He then casually flipped through a few pieces of female clothing. Without exception, they were all her size.

In addition, the drawers of the wardrobe were filled with women's necessities.

Underwear, underwear, a variety of scarves, scarves, everything.

The underwear was the same size as hers.

Ji Xinqing's face darkened. She closed the wardrobe and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Was this man so bored that he bought all of the ladies' clothing in the capital?

However, when Ji Xinqing lowered her head to look at her clothes, she realized that they had been torn to shreds by the middle-aged man.

She still had to choose a dress.

Ji Xinqing pursed her lips and opened the wardrobe again.

Each item was quite expensive. Ji Xinqing had to pick one that wasn't too expensive after a long time.

After changing her clothes, Ji Xinqing put on some makeup for herself. However, the middle-aged man was really ruthless in his actions and the palm imprint on her face could not be removed instantly.

Furthermore, Ji Xinqing could still feel the sharp pain coming from her neck. In the end, she chose a scarf and covered the wound on her neck.

Ji Xinqing went downstairs and prepared to leave.

Tang Jinyao was leisurely sitting on the sofa, reading a magazine.

Ji Xinqing walked over with pursed lips and called softly, "Mr. Tang."

Tang Jinyao looked up. "Is it done?"

Ji Xinqing gave a distant smile, "I will return the money for the clothes to Mr. Tang."

He put down the magazine and looked at her without speaking.

Ji Xinqing finally felt uncomfortable under his gaze. Her heart tightened as she softly said, "Mr. Tang, I'm very grateful to you for tonight. But now, it's time to go home. Little Dong Shan is still waiting for me."

However, Tang Jinyao shook her head regretfully, "Miss Ji, I forgot to tell you. Everything in my villa is fine, but the transportation is a bit inconvenient, especially at night. You won't be able to get a taxi within two to three hours."

"So it's like that," Ji Xinqing looked troubled, "Then can I trouble you, Mr. Tang —"

"I'm sorry, Miss Ji. I just realized that my car is out of gas." Tang Jinyao raised his eyebrows as he looked at her.

"Then, Assistant Tang — —"

Tang Jinyao helplessly shook his head again. "No, Miss Ji. I've long since gone to sleep."

Ji Xinqing's face turned completely black as she looked up.

Was it really such a coincidence?

If he couldn't get a taxi, the car wouldn't have gas, and Tang Han was asleep …

Tang Jinyao pursed his lips in mockery. "What's wrong, Miss Ji? Do you not believe me? Or do you mean to say, you're worried that we'll sleep under the same roof, and that I'll do something bad to you?"

Ji Xinqing shook her head. She was not afraid of that.

However, since Tang Jinyao had already spoken, she couldn't go on any further and instead decided to stay in his villa for the night.

However, sleeping with this man was not the same as sleeping in the same bed. She had nothing to worry about.

When they met at night, Ji Xinqing hadn't eaten much.

He had originally wanted to go back to his small apartment to eat, but now …

It was already late at night, so there was probably nothing to eat in the villa.

Ji Xinqing didn't really want to bother Tang Jinyao, so she prepared to return to her room.

However, Tang Jinyao stopped her.

Ji Xinqing turned around, "Mr. Tang, is there anything else?"

"Miss Ji, are you hungry?"

Ji Xinqing forcefully swallowed her saliva, but still shook her head, "I don't —"

"Gu Gu …" Before she could finish, Ji Xinqing's stomach had already betrayed her.

Ji Xinqing lowered her head and bit her lips, not saying a word.

Tang Jinyao glanced at her with a smile that wasn't a smile on his face. Once again, he picked up the magazine and flipped through to the place he had been reading a while ago. Finally, he casually said, "It just so happens that Miss Ji, I'm hungry as well.

Ji Xinqing widened her eyes in surprise.

"Oh right, Miss Ji. There's still a few eggs left in the fridge. Could I trouble you to cook them for me?"
