Unable to break free and seek help, Li Qiqi could only watch Qiao Lina abandon her and turn to leave.
Qiao Xiao, on the other hand, carried her back to where he had been leaning earlier and placed her on the beach chair.
Not far behind them, a man emerged from the water and teased Qiao Xiao by the pool.
“Doesn’t Brother Xiao dislike forcing people to do things? Why does this little girl look unwilling to me?”
Qiao Xiao turned his face and glared at him fiercely.
“Bullshit! This is the baby I specially found to clean you guys up. She was jealous and throwing a tantrum at me for being intimate with others just now.”
The man laughed.
“Rare, rare! Then Brother Xiao has to coax her well. We brothers haven’t seen you coax a woman before.”
Qiao Xiao leaned closer to the beach chair, whispering in her ear.
“Baby, I’ve already said it, you won’t embarrass me, will you?”
Too close, the man’s warm lips touched Li Qiqi’s ear intentionally or unintentionally, scaring her pupils to shrink and curl up into a ball.
Everyone in Kenakin knew that Qiao Xiao was a womanizer, and being targeted by him was really bad luck!
Li Qiqi dodged Qiao Xiao’s increasingly close face, trying to steady her breathing, and tentatively asked.
“What do you want me to do?”
Qiao Xiao said, “Can you drink?”
Li Qiqi nodded, “Yes.”
This was the truth, not only could she drink, but she could drink a lot!
So much that even Li Qiqi herself didn’t know where her bottom line for drinking was. Except for accidentally mistaking alcohol for a drink when she was eight years old and accidentally hitting her nose after getting drunk, she had never been drunk again.
Could drink, not bad… Qiao Xiao smiled happily.
“We’ll have a game when everyone is here later. Men provide the money, women chug bottles, one second for one million Myanmar kyats. If you win, you get the money, but if you lose…”
Qiao Xiao took off his sunglasses, looked down at the thin dress on Li Qiqi, and raised his eyebrows at her in a rascally manner.
“You have to… take, off, your, clothes.”
He deliberately said the last three words very slowly, wanting to see Li Qiqi’s ashamed and frightened appearance, but the fear in the girl’s eyes inexplicably dissipated.
Li Qiqi looked up and met Qiao Xiao’s eyes.
“Drinking competition, if I win, Brother Xiao, how much money can you give me?”
“Haha,” Qiao Xiao laughed heartily, raised his hand and rubbed Li Qiqi’s head, “I almost forgot, baby is a little money grubber. If you win, I’ll give you everything.”
“Really?”
Li Qiqi looked at Qiao Xiao in disbelief, completely forgetting her fear. She automatically ignored the man’s cheesy nickname and asked again.
“Give me everything?”
“Yes.”
Qiao Xiao stared at Li Qiqi without blinking, her small face was really pleasing to the eye!
The man lightly licked his tongue and poked his cheek.
“Give you everything, you sleep with me for one night.”
Sure enough… Li Qiqi’s eyebrows drooped, and her interest instantly cooled down. She pushed Qiao Xiao’s chest and wanted to get up, but Qiao Xiao grabbed her hands very quickly.
“Baby, don’t be so anxious, I’ll touch you at night.”
Li Qiqi’s left hand was still injured, and she couldn’t see it with the black velvet gloves on.
But being pinched by Qiao Xiao like this, she jumped up in pain, and her forehead hit Qiao Xiao’s chin hard.
Qiao Xiao frowned, before he could cry out in pain, there was a burst of laughter from the pool.
“Brother Xiao, are you okay? Finding such a fierce girl! You can’t spoil women.”
Before the voice fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Li Qiqi looked out along the crowd’s line of sight, and a tall man was standing at the door.
His indifferent and clear blue eyes lifted slightly.
The man clearly didn’t say anything, didn’t do anything, just looked at them and brought a heavy and terrifying sense of oppression, and even the temperature in the room suddenly dropped by eight degrees.
Qi Xiaoye’s eyes swept across the beach chair, landing on the girl who was tightly locked in Qiao Xiao’s arms.
From his perspective—
Qiao Xiao was holding Li Qiqi’s hand tightly, and… kissing Li Qiqi’s forehead.
Qi Xiaoye’s eyes darkened slightly, and he strode across the threshold, and the playboys in the pool stood up one after another, calling out “Master Qi” more or less loudly.
Qiao Xiao asked, “Isn’t Master Qi talking about things on the second floor? Why… are you interested in my place?”
Qi Xiaoye smiled faintly, “I’m here to ask you, how’s the investigation of the perfume formula going?”
“Why does Master Qi need to ask about such a small matter in person? How about this… I’ll go find you after the game is over and report to you in detail?”
It was rare for Qiao Xiao to deliberately lower his posture on his own territory, not because he was afraid of Qi Xiaoye, but because Qi Xiaoye was too cold and boring.
If he didn’t leave, no one present would want to have fun!
Qi Xiaoye casually took off his trench coat, and Atai stepped forward to take it.
The man’s sharp and gloomy eyes never left Li Qiqi from beginning to end, startling Li Qiqi to keep looking around, but she didn’t dare to turn her face to look at him.
Qi Xiaoye was amused by her, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Qiao Xiao.
“What game? I’ll play with you too.”
“This…”
Qiao Xiao scratched his head, not knowing whether to say it or not.
But Angshan, who was lying by the pool just now, couldn’t wait to tell Qi Xiaoye the rules, and asked with a smile.
“Master Qi, how is it, Brother Xiao’s place is exciting enough, right? Do you want to play together?”
Qi Xiaoye raised his eyebrows and didn’t speak.
Atai and Lin Ke subconsciously took a step back, based on their many years of understanding of Qi Xiaoye.
The boss doesn’t necessarily get angry when he doesn’t smile, and he doesn’t necessarily get happy when he smiles, but if he smiles and suddenly doesn’t smile, it must be—
He’s about to explode!
And the consequences of him exploding… The two didn’t dare to think about it, gritted their teeth and shivered, and almost simultaneously touched the guns at their waists.
Just waiting for the man to give an order, blood would splash in the pool!
But Qi Xiaoye didn’t plan to do this, he turned his eyes to signal the two to put away their guns, and stepped forward.
He leaned lazily against the end of the glass long table next to the beach chair, looking down at the men and women in front of him who didn’t even dare to breathe.
“Play, Lin Ke, go get the money.”
As soon as the man’s voice fell, the dull and terrifying atmosphere in the swimming pool instantly ignited.
Qi Xiaoye unhurriedly took out a cigarette case, took out one, and clipped it between his fingers.
Seeing this, Angshan, who was not far away, hurried forward, took out a lighter and happily helped him light it.
Qi Xiaoye looked lightly at Li Qiqi on the beach chair standing up at Qiao Xiao’s request, sitting obediently side by side with Qiao Xiao on the other side of the glass table.
He turned his face to look at Angshan, “Lend me your woman, I’ll pay if I lose, and give you everything if I win.”
“Master Qi is generous!!”
Angshan smiled happily, waved to the bikini-clad beauty next to him, ordered her to come forward and sit next to Qi Xiaoye, and introduced her to Qi Xiaoye with a flattering face.
“Master Qi, her name is Diana, she’s the most capable woman I’ve been looking for in the major nightclubs in Kenakin these days.”
The most capable… Qi Xiaoye didn’t respond.
He didn’t want Diana to win, because if Diana won, it would mean that Li Qiqi would have to take off her clothes in public.
Qi Xiaoye’s hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.
He wanted to see how far this woman, who kept saying that she liked Qiao Xiao and only had Qiao Xiao in her heart, would be humble and lowly for Qiao Xiao!
The other young masters participating in the game entered the arena one after another with their female companions. Several people who knew Qi Xiaoye were stunned the moment they saw him.
Seeing a swimsuit beauty sitting next to him, they could probably guess that he had also joined the game, and they all secretly gave Qiao Xiao a thumbs up.
He really deserved to be Brother Xiao! He could even pull Master Qi into the game, he was simply a role model for us.
Qiao Xiao was happy to be worshiped, and when he was happy, he liked to raise his eyebrows at Li Qiqi, but he saw her with her head down, like an ostrich, almost hiding under the table.
“Baby, don’t be afraid.”
Qiao Xiao learned from Li Qiqi and buried his head with her, then turned his face from Li Qiqi’s knees and looked at her.
“Master Qi is not as terrible as the rumors say, and nothing will happen if we win. When the time comes, all the money will be yours, but don’t forget… our agreement.”
“Who made an agreement with you?”
Li Qiqi said softly, gritting her teeth, her small face full of despair. She secretly raised her head and glanced at Qi Xiaoye.
The man finally made eye contact with her, hooking his lips and saying two words to her silently. No one could hear them, but Li Qiqi could understand them. Qi Xiaoye said—
Baby.
He heard everything… Li Qiqi’s heart sank, and she was so scared that tears began to swirl in her eyes, but the Qiao Xiao in front of her was still smiling and coaxing her.
“My baby sings well, and is beautiful, she’s simply a perfect match, a match made in heaven with me!”
Li Qiqi wanted to cry without tears, and boldly reached out and directly covered Qiao Xiao’s mouth.
“Can you… shut up…”
