“What’s not good about that?”
“Then…
then will you go by yourself?”
Qiao An glanced at her disdainfully, “Have you ever seen the big boss personally get involved in a fight?”
The servant nodded earnestly, “But weren’t you enjoying tearing into them just a moment ago?”
Qiao An: “…”
Huh…
That seems like a fair point!
Qiao An looked at her with a smile, “Little Cutie, I see something unique about you…
you take the lead!”
The servant looked as if the sky had collapsed, sheer terror on their face, “Miss Qiao, please spare me, Mr.
Mu is terrifying!”
“Terrifying?” Qiao An murmured doubtfully to herself.
Is he?
She never felt that way.
She just thought Mu Jingxi was as blind as a bat, and a blind bat lacking common sense at that.
The servant nodded vigorously.
Qiao An waved her hand, “Alright, I won’t make it difficult for you.”
“Thank you, Miss Qiao!” The servant was so grateful, they were nearly moved to tears.
Qiao An decided to scope out the situation herself.
Although eavesdropping wasn’t ethical or honourable…
Just as she was about to stroll over there, Mu Jingxi turned around, and Qiao An choked on her bite of watermelon.
Upon seeing her, Mu Jingxi approached with long strides.
“Miss Qiao.”
“Is there something you need?” Qiao An tucked away the guilt in her eyes and asked in a not-so-serious manner.
Ji Qingxin didn’t follow him over, probably afraid of another conflict with her.
“I need to step out for a while, about two hours.”
Is he reporting to her?
Good, good, he’s finally showing some awareness of his role as a bodyguard.
Qiao An raised her eyebrows slightly, “Where are you going?”
“Private matters.”
“Not telling?” Qiao An’s lips curved slightly, “Then I don’t agree.”
Mu Jingxi’s handsome eyebrows briefly furrowed, not expecting her to refuse so flatly.
“Miss Qiao, my private matters aren’t something I need to report to you, right?”
While that may be true, who asked her to be the one being protected?
In a sense, she’s now his boss, and what she says goes!
Without her nod today, he wouldn’t be going anywhere!
“You might not need to report to me, but then I don’t need to agree to you leaving.”
After finishing, Qiao An elegantly turned around and went inside.
Behind her, she could hear the man’s regular footsteps. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Qiao An scoffed inwardly, hmm, you little thing!
Suddenly, her wrist was gripped tightly, the man’s dry, warm palm enclosing it firmly.
“Let go!”
“I’m going to register for marriage with Qingxin, I’ll be back within two hours.”
Qiao An’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a chill spreading inch by inch from the bottom of her eyes.
Register for marriage?
Heh, Ji Qingxin really dares to dream!
She wants to marry Mu Jingxi and become the esteemed Mrs.
Mu, but that all hangs on whether she’s in the mood to agree or not!
Getting no response for a long time, Mu Jingxi lost his patience, his grip on her wrist tightened, pulling her towards him.
Qiao An turned around to face him, and a rare trace of impatience could be seen on the man’s handsome face, yet he still managed to contain his anger as he asked, “Is that okay?”
When has Mr.
Mu ever been this stifled?
To have him lower himself like this was a first in history.
“It’s not okay.”
Mu Jingxi’s dark eyes suddenly sharpened, “Reason.”
“You are my 24-hour personal bodyguard, and we inevitably spend a lot of time together, alone.
I can barely accept your unmarried status, but if I let a married man stay by my side, where would that leave my reputation?”
Qiao An’s gaze drifted downward, settling on the hand still gripping her wrist.
