“Trash!” A cold male voice sounded from the darkness. If one looked carefully, they could still see some shadows. That person was wearing a black robe, making it impossible to see his expression.
“Master, I swear that there won’t be a next time! Please forgive me this time!” The woman kneeling on the ground’s voice was trembling and she felt like she was tongue-tied. She kowtowed crazily. One could imagine how afraid she was.
“He’s already starting to suspect you! What’s the point of keeping you? You fool! Do you know how much time I’ve wasted?” The voice sounded cold and heartless.
The person kneeling on the ground became terrified.
“No! Please give me one last chance. I’ve already thought of a way!” It was unknown what she thought of, but there was actually a hint of joy in her voice. No one knew what she was secretly rejoicing over!
“I’ll give you one last chance. Kill Xu Qing immediately!” That person agreed, but he was still filled with killing intent.
However, the person kneeling on the ground was extremely happy!
She would definitely kill Xu Qing!
“This person should be of some use to you.” Another slender figure walked out of the darkness. Just by looking at her figure, one would expect that her face was gorgeous. Unexpectedly, that face… was terrifyingly ferocious, with bulging veins. Even people who were used to gore and ugliness would subconsciously frown in disdain.
“Yes!” The person replied firmly without any hesitation.
The person on the ground finally collapsed to the ground after kneeling for an unknown period of time. Her entire body was covered in cold sweat, but this time, there was no painful torture, so she was already very happy. However, before she could be happy for long, she felt a piercing painful sensation spread from her chest, causing her to roll on the ground in pain. Blood appeared in her mouth because she had already bitten the tip of her tongue. However, even so, she didn’t dare to make a sound.
After an unknown period of time, the pain finally slowly disappeared. She lay on the ground weakly as she muttered gratefully, “Thank you for your mercy, Master!”
However, there was no one else in the secret room! No one noticed the bitter smile on her lips. She was supposed to be the closest kin to him in this world, but she was treated so cruelly…
On the other side, when Qiao Yanhui returned home, there was a trace of blood on his right cheek. He probably got injured from fighting with Zhuo Wuyou. But if one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t notice the trace of blood at all!
Xu Qing couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. Qiao Yanhui hurriedly snuggled into Xu Qing’s arms and said coquettishly, “Little Qing, Zhuo Wuyou hit me… Look at my face. It’s bleeding!”
Xu Qing said, “If you had come back later, it probably would have healed already.”
Qiao Yanhui was speechless.
However, looking at Qiao Yanhui’s stunningly handsome face as he wheedled, Xu Qing found him very attractive. She mocked him, “You can’t beat him?”
Qiao Yanhui wanted to continue wheedling, but this question concerned a man’s ego. How could he admit it just like that? Especially since he was being compared to his love rival? He couldn’t admit defeat.
“Zhuo Wuyou is nothing. Why would I take him seriously?” Qiao Yanhui sounded very arrogant.
Xu Qing was amused. What an arrogant man!
On the other side, Zhuo Wuyou was applying medicine in front of the mirror when he suddenly sneezed and spilled the medicinal powder! He couldn’t help but curse. That bastard Qiao Yanhui must have badmouthed him beside Xu Qing!
That bastard, Qiao Yanhui, kept targeting his face. That bastard was definitely jealous that he was more handsome than him and attracted Xu Qing more than him! He wanted to disfigure him! Hmph, Qiao Yanhui had temporarily gotten what he wanted. These few days, he wouldn’t dare to appear in front of Xu Qing anymore. He didn’t want Xu Qing to see his swollen face.
As Lu Yao stood beside Zhuo Wuyou, her eyes were filled with heartache and sorrow. The man she loved deeply actually fought with that woman’s husband for another woman’s sake. How could she not be sad?!
However, she didn’t dare to show these emotions at all, because she was afraid of being chased away by Zhuo Wuyou again!
…
Time passed quickly. Ao Heng’s birthday banquet was getting closer and closer. Everyone had already prepared a gift for Ao Heng.
Xu Qing didn’t plan to ask Qiao Yanhui what gift to prepare. After all, it would be merciful enough if Qiao Yanhui didn’t kill Ao Heng! For the sake of the Qiao family’s reputation, Xu Qing would also prepare a proper gift and send it over!
At this moment, Xu Sizhi came to look for her with a solemn expression.
