Chapter Twelve A Slap

  "Don't go!"

  "Don't go!" Qin Shao Huang lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed, holding Chu Qing Autumn's small body in his arms, softly coaxing her.

  The little one finally stopped making a fuss and lay in his arms, sleeping very soundly, as if he had found something to rely on.

  Such peace only existed when Chu Qing's consciousness was hazy and unclear. The next morning, she woke up, and everything would return to its previous state.

  The next day, the sun came out from the clouds after a night of heavy rain. Qin Shao's master bedroom was facing the direction where the sun rises. Although this arrangement wasn't very reasonable in terms of lighting, Qin Shao still remembered what a little girl had once said to him: "Qin Gongzi, let's put your bed facing the sun, okay? That way, every day when you open your eyes, you can see the sunlight."

  After that, his bedroom was designed like this. At that time, the sun shone through the window without curtains and shot in, and the softest light in the morning fell on the big bed. The person who had said such words to him was also in his arms. Qin Shao suddenly felt a little satisfied in his heart. Of course, he denied it as emotions, but just habit. Ah, he thought so, and involuntarily looked at the person lying beside him.

  A head of raven-black, soft and shiny hair scattered over his arm, a small face the size of a palm nestled in his chest. From his angle, he could see a row of slender eyelashes, an upturned nose, and plump lips with a tiny droplet of water on them - whether it was saliva or something else, it was alluring to Qin Shao's eyes, and he couldn't help but lower his head to kiss those enticing red lips.

  "Ah!" Chu Qingqiu, who was in a dreamy sleep, felt a numb and tingling sensation on her lips, so she opened her eyes. As soon as she did, she saw a magnified face in front of her and got scared. Without thinking, she stretched out her hand from under the quilt and slapped the person who was bullying her.

  "A loud slap, and Chu Qingqiu was freed from the man's control. She hastily wrapped herself in a quilt and retreated to a distance, when an indistinguishable voice between joy and anger sounded beside her ear: "Chu Qingqiu.""

  She had only called out her name, just three syllables, and Chu Qingqiu already knew who it was.

  Thoughts gradually returned, recalling the scenes of that night, recalling how he had treated himself and also recalling what kind of identity one now has.

  Taking a deep breath, she lifted her head, smiled, and called out to him with a dimpled smile, "Third Master!"

  Everything she did seemed to replay in slow motion in Qin Shao's mind, and a strange feeling surged up inside him, a very unpleasant one.

  "What are you hiding from." His hand stretched out and pulled her back into his arms, the domineering yet gentle movement only brought sorrow to Chu Qingqiu.

  A forced smile, but not in his heart! "I won't hide, how dare I hide!"

  "Chu Qingqiu, must you speak to me like this?"

  Chu Qing didn't know what kind of attitude Qin Shao had when he said such a sentence to her, she just thought it was a bit funny.

  "Otherwise, Qin Shao, how am I supposed to talk to you? How can I speak with someone who is strong, violent, and has hurt me, yet still wants me to make it up to him? Are you kidding me? Sorry, but I just can't laugh about this!" The physical pain reminded Chu Qingqiu that Qin Shao only treated her as a plaything, enjoying tormenting and humiliating her. She would only be free when he got bored with her, and the only way to stop him from entering her heart again was for her to constantly put up her guard.

  "You!" Qin Shao Huang raised his hand, but ultimately let it fall powerlessly, and in the end did not hit her.

  He suppressed his temper and Qin Shao Huang lifted up the quilt, walking towards the bathroom!

  Chu Qing looked at his back, her eyes slightly moist.

  The sound of water echoed in the bathroom. Chu Qingqiu took advantage of this gap to put on her clothes and go downstairs, not wanting to be with him in the bedroom.

  Downstairs, there are three people, two women and one man. All of them have met before. The man has been seen at the hospital and in a seductive situation. As for the woman, she was only seen in a seductive situation. Another woman is wearing a white coat that's very eye-catching.

  "Miss Chu, are you feeling a bit better?" The doctor was the first to see her and asked again dutifully.

  "Ah, I'm fine now! Thank you, beautiful doctor!" Chu Qing smiled at her with gratitude, her curved eyes and shallow dimples making her look even more lovely. Unfortunately, this smile fell into the eyes of Qin Shao Huang, who was walking downstairs, causing a bit of a stir.

  "Chu Qingqiu, you're smiling at this woman with such abandon, what are you trying to do?!"

  He made all sounds silent.

  Jin and Mu never thought that one day their wise and calm boss would say something so full of jealousy, and still towards a woman.

  "Hehe, hehe" The female doctor didn't know what to say and could only give an awkward smile.

  As for Chu Qing, she didn't say anything and her face was very cold.

  Step by step, she walked down the stairs and greeted the three people standing in the living room "I'm leaving first! See you later" before striding outwards, completely ignoring the person standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, as well as the gaze that was like a sharp sword.

  "Haha, farewell Miss Chu!" Boss vs Miss Chu, why did you have to drag them into the line of fire? Jin, Mu, and even the White Angel are all in tears!

  "Where are you going?!" How dare he ignore her like this, this woman is really infuriating!

  "School!" He walked out without looking back, Chu Qingqiu felt anxious in her heart.

  "Bang!" The sound of the door slamming shut made Qin Shao's face look extremely ugly.

  "Jin, go to the desert and stay there for a month, get tanned and then roll back to me!"

  "Wood, just got a deal from the US side, it's said that the other party likes neutral women, you go and get this task done!"

  "Female doctor... hehe... except for the necessary examination, keep everything else out of Chu Qingqiu's sight!"

  The person who provoked Qin Shao Huang is gone, and the remaining cannon fodder will inevitably be affected!

  "Grandpa..." Jin, Mu, and the female doctor all wanted to speak up for human rights, but Qin Shao's cold gaze and a single sentence "Does anyone object?" made them all shut their mouths obediently, not daring to say another word.

  Chu Qingchun was still a bit shaken after leaving the "Imperial City". Her behavior could be considered as provoking Qin Shao, and she was worried that he would think of other ways to torment her or her family. However, at this moment, she really needed to get away from him, and didn't think too much about the consequences. At most, it would just be a dead end, and dying would be a relief, no need to worry about Father's illness, no need to worry about Mother's livelihood, how great that was. In that one second, she thought so much, and there was nothing to fear anymore.

  Took out the phone from backpack and turned it on, there were several missed calls, more than half of which were from Liu Ru, two from mom, and some unfamiliar ones.

  She first called her mother, then dialed Liu Ru and told her that she would go over there at night, asking her to continue covering for her. The so-called cover-up was just a roll call, and she wasn't around for these few days, so Liu Ru had been helping her substitute all along. It didn't make a difference this one afternoon either, as long as she told her what she did over the past three days!

  Chu Qing rubbed her forehead in pain and finally dialed that unfamiliar number.

  "Hey! Meng Ningyuan" A low voice came from the receiver, it was the person who went to the temple to ask her to dance that day.

  "Hello, I'm Chu Qingqiu!"

  "Oh, Miss Chu, I don't know if you're free, but that payment needs to be given to you!"

  "Yes, I can do it anytime, as long as Mr. Mo gives me a good time!" Which dance did she not perform perfectly, but shouldn't she get paid for it? She took the money with a clear conscience! But why was she feeling uneasy when Mo Ningyuan said "meet at 4 pm at Memories Cafe" on the phone just now? Qin Shao's handsome and paralyzed face kept floating in her mind! What's going on? Was it what he said that night?!

  Chu Qing autumn shook her head, shaking off the inexplicable annoyance, and smiled into the phone saying "okay!"
