“Mr. Xu, Miss Qiao is here.”
Manager Yao’s voice came from outside the office, breaking the silence between the two. Xu Nantian subconsciously roared,
“Tell her to get out!”
Then, as if remembering something, the man lightly raised his right hand, pushed the glasses that had slipped down to the tip of his nose back into place, and slowly said while straightening his clothes:
“Let her in.”
Seeing this, Li Qiqi bent down to pick up the signature pen and accounting book that had fallen on the ground, and was about to leave, bypassing Xu Nantian, when Xu Nantian grabbed her.
“Qiqi, be good, go home and wait for me!”
Li Qiqi glanced at Xu Nantian with a indifferent look, without responding.
Xu Nantian knew that Li Qiqi had a stubborn temper, gritted his teeth and sighed. His eyes swept over the girl’s snow-white shoulders again. He took off his suit jacket and draped it over her, lowering his voice to coax her.
“Be good…”
The office door was pushed open.
Qiao Lina walked in with a smile, raised her hand to stop Xu Nantian’s movement. She took the suit from Xu Nantian’s hand and placed it on the table, then took off her shawl.
“Brother Tian, little girls all love beauty, how can you let her wear a men’s coat? Here, wear mine.”
It was still snowing outside, and Li Qiqi was afraid of the cold. She looked at Xu Nantian, and the man also looked at her.
Probably worried that she would lose her temper and throw Qiao Lina’s shawl out the window like she did with the necklace during her birthday, Xu Nantian raised his chin at her, meaning for her to be obedient.
Li Qiqi looked away.
Even if Xu Nantian didn’t remind her, she wouldn’t do it again. She had learned to read people’s faces since she was a child, and all her willfulness was within Xu Nantian’s permitted range.
Throwing the necklace was just to test Xu Nantian’s attitude towards Qiao Lina. Now that the answer was in front of her, there was no need to use the same trick again, just to make Xu Nantian angry for nothing.
Li Qiqi lowered her head, watching Qiao Lina’s slender fingers flutter in front of her chest, patiently waiting for Qiao Lina to tie the shawl straps, before politely saying “Thank you” to Qiao Lina.
Qiao Lina looked at Li Qiqi’s slightly red and teary eyes and colorful face, and made an exaggerated and lengthy “Oh~”, pointing at Li Qiqi’s nose with her manicured index finger.
“You must be the ‘ugly monster’ my brother mentioned, right? Qiqi, you can’t use inferior cosmetics when applying makeup, it will ruin your face over time! I’ll send you a new set in a few days.”
“Okay.”
Li Qiqi nodded, not annoyed by being scolded, looking docile and obedient.
She raised her hand to tuck the broken hair from her forehead behind her ear, and used this action to brush away Qiao Lina’s finger pointing at her nose, before continuing in a sweet voice:
“Thank you, Auntie.”
This “Auntie” was called out crisply and neatly, which was a complete statement of her attitude.
Xu Nantian on the opposite side was obviously stunned for a second, but it was only a second, and he returned to his composure.
But Qiao Lina was so amused by Li Qiqi’s simple three words that she was shaking with laughter.
She restrained the imperceptible hostility in her eyes, and leaned half of her body on Xu Nantian with a coquettish smile, and looked up to kiss Xu Nantian’s cheek.
“Brother Tian, you always tell me that girls should be pampered, but this time, you are not attentive enough~”
Xu Nantian also cooperated, putting his arm around Qiao Lina’s waist, and gently returned a kiss on her forehead.
“My fault, the money for buying cosmetics is on my tab.”
“I knew Brother Tian dotes on me.”
Li Qiqi’s nose felt sore, and she unconsciously clenched her clothes.
She knew very well that if Xu Nantian wanted to get married, Qiao Lina was the best choice. This woman was intellectual, mature, beautiful, and generous… Most importantly—
She is Qiao family’s eldest lady, Qiao Xiao’s sister.
Whether in appearance or background, Qiao Lina can perfectly match Xu Nantian, and can also help Xu Nantian rise to prominence.
Seeing the two being so affectionate, Li Qiqi had no need to stay any longer.
She turned around and quickly left the office.
But just before raising her hand to close the door, she couldn’t help but peek inside through the crack of the door.
Qiao Lina was putting her arms around Xu Nantian’s neck and acting coquettishly with him.
“Brother Tian, why didn’t you look for me when you came back? If Qiao Xiao hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have seen you today.”
“Just arrived, it was too late, didn’t have time.”
Xu Nantian hugged Qiao Lina and sat on the office chair, gently stroking the woman’s blue satin-like hair with his right hand, hooking his lips and raising his eyebrows at her with a shallow smile.
“Didn’t see you for three months, did you miss me?”
“Of course.”
“Miss what?”
“Miss everything…”
The two got closer and closer, Xu Nantian’s wide and solid palm moved down along Qiao Lina’s beautiful figure, slowly reaching in from the hem of her top…
“Brother Tian, don’t…”
Qiao Lina groaned softly, raising her swan neck, helping Xu Nantian take off his glasses with one hand, and pushing him with the other hand on the man’s shoulder.
“Not in a hurry, let’s take a shower first.”
“Together.”
Xu Nantian tore open Qiao Lina’s dress zipper from the inside out with a “tearing” sound, the shocking white vision startled Li Qiqi’s pupils.
She didn’t dare to look any further, and hurriedly closed the office door for them in a panic, and ran away as if fleeing.
When passing by the lobby on the first floor, she happened to meet Sasha, who was going home from get off work, carrying a bright red little bag, and the high heels on her feet were stepping “Dum dum” loudly.
Li Qiqi handed the remaining two thousand US dollars to Sasha.
“Sister Sasha, this is the commission I owe you this month, it’s all filled.”
Sasha took it with a smile on her face, bent down and leaned close to Li Qiqi’s ear and asked in a low voice.
“Qiqi, did you just plead with Mr. Xu? Those sisters in the card prison were implicated because you angered Mr. Xu.”
“What does it have to do with me?” Li Qiqi was in a bad mood, and choked Sasha unhappily, “They were locked up because they didn’t meet the performance standards.”
“That’s what they say, but it’s up to Mr. Xu to decide whether to lock them up or not. Everyone is trying to survive in the same place, they are all sisters, you can’t just stand by and watch, can you?”
Li Qiqi smiled mockingly.
“I’m just an ordinary wine salesperson, not a merciful savior. You know Xiao…Mr. Xu’s temper, he won’t listen to me.”
“You have to try to know if he will listen or not, Qiqi, Mr. Xu is different to you after all.”
“There is no difference!”
Li Qiqi bit her lip, her feet kept moving, she stepped out of the door, and returned in the next second, raised her eyes to look at Sasha, and opened her mouth after thinking for a long time.
“I can find a way to save them, but this favor can’t be helped for nothing. In a few days, it will be Master Qiao’s 70th birthday, can you find a way to take me in?”
Sasha frowned, “What do you want to do?”
“I want to make money,” Li Qiqi raised her right hand and swore, “I want to make a lot of money, I promise to obey Sister Sasha’s arrangements and never cause trouble.”
It is said that Li Qiqi is not good at selling wine, but she is usually quite obedient, and she sings well. She earns money, and as her foreman, she also has a lot of commission.
Sasha thought for a while and nodded.
“Okay, it’s no problem to take you to make money, as long as you can get them out of the card prison, these are all small things.”
“Thank you, Sister Sasha!”
With a way out, Li Qiqi’s depressed mood was finally relieved, she raised her foot out again, and even the steps under her feet were much lighter.
The Fengqing Street is always lively.
As soon as Li Qiqi went out, she saw a row of people outside, all stretching their necks, pointing at a pure black extended bulletproof Bentley Mulsanne on the side of the road.
Li Qiqi tiptoed to look over.
The body of this car is very long, and the protection level reaches B7 level, even 15 kg of TNT explosives can be easily dealt with.
People who go out in this kind of car are definitely dangerous people!
She was about to bypass it when the rear window of the car suddenly lowered, and Qi Xiaoye in the car looked over lazily.
The neon-lit long street signs cast colorful light and shadows, setting off the man’s profile half-bright and half-dark, exquisite and suave.
“Get in the car.”
Only a fool would get in the car!
Li Qiqi knew that Qi Xiaoye was calling her, and directly chose to ignore it.
She moved her eyes away, pretending not to hear, turned around and walked quickly in the direction of Xiyou Street, and took out her mobile phone to call the motorcycle master.
Before the call was connected, Li Qiqi’s palm suddenly became empty. At the same time that the mobile phone was snatched away, a cold and hard object was pressed against the back of her waist.
She was so frightened that her whole body tightened, and a man’s face with light eyes gradually appeared in the darkness behind her.
This face was obviously quite handsome, but it revealed a sinister chill.
Li Qiqi felt creepy, as if she was being stared at by some sticky living thing.
The next second, Lin Ke slowly approached her ear.
“Master Qi told you to get in the car.”
The voice was gentle, so soft that it was outrageous.
If it wasn’t for the gun in Lin Ke’s hand pointing at the back of her waist, with just this voice that was enough to drown people, Li Qiqi would even think that this man was a top polite and humble gentleman.
Resistance is death, escape is also death…
Li Qiqi raised her hands over her shoulders in a gesture of surrender, and nodded honestly to Lin Ke.
“Okay.”
