Sweet Wife Threw Herself Into Arms - C73
“Eh, isn’t this host Li?” A surprised female voice rang out, and Li Mengqi turned her head, meeting Shen Xingran’s unreadable eyes.
“Hello, Miss Shen.” Li Mengqi stood up and politely greeted her. Just now, the Old Master Qi had just told her that Shen Xingran would come, but he hadn’t thought that it would be so quick. It was rather unexpected for her.
“We meet again.” Shen Xin Ran agreed as she stepped onto her leather boots and walked in front of her gracefully.
Li Mengqi knew that she had come with ill intentions, and thinking of her current situation, her heart suddenly felt heavy, and she couldn’t catch a breath for some reason.
“Why is streamer Li here?” Could it be that he also heard that elder brother Ting was injured and came to take a look? “These days, it’s quite rare to see someone as dedicated as Leader Li.” Shen Xingran reached out to stroke the hair at his ear. Although his voice was soft, it was sharp.
“…” Li Mengqi didn’t respond. In her opinion, perhaps she was in the wrong. Therefore, she couldn’t find any words to refute Shen Xingran’s aggressive words.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Shen Xin Ran smiled, her beautiful face blossoming into a brilliant smile. Because she was already several centimeters taller than Li Mengqi, standing in front of her flat-heeled shoes, she became even more arrogant: “Why aren’t you talking? “That’s right. As a human, you should at least have a bit of shame. Am I right, Leader Li?”
“Miss Shen, please pay attention to your words.” In the end, Li Mengqi couldn’t hold back and coldly replied.
“Yo, you dare to do it? Are you afraid that others will say it?”
Seeing her counterattack, a strange light flashed past Shen Xin Ran’s eyes. That’s right, she was purposely provoking Li Mengqi so that she could lose her so-called ‘knowledgeable present’ mask and make Grandpa Qi completely hate her.
Thinking about this, the smile on Shen Xingran’s lips deepened as she arrogantly took a step forward and whispered into Li Mengqi’s ear, “I heard that Master Li’s height is only at a very high level, but I never thought that your upbringing is not high enough. I wonder how your parents taught you, even making you do such a shameless thing —”
“Miss Shen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. Please be magnanimous, and don’t be afraid of saying such harsh words. If you do, you will lose your status as an international film empress.” Even if she had a good temper, if Li Mengqi was unmoved by Shen Xingran’s pressure, she would be too aggrieved.
“Yo, you got angry from what I said? Li Mengqi, big brother Ting won’t marry you. “I advise you to quickly leave the Qi Residence and return to your city A, or —”
Shen Xingran was just about to say something when she heard familiar footsteps approaching, but Li Mengqi did not notice at all. Her expression changed, her originally arrogant aura instantly changed to a pitiful look, and even her tone became a bit softer, “Mr. Lee, can you let big brother Ting go, please take it as me begging you —”
Li Mengqi was dumbfounded. She thought to herself, “As expected of the Shadow Queen, she changed her face just like that!”
Before she could figure out what was going on, Shen Xingran suddenly grabbed her arm and shook it a few times, pretending that she was pushing it away. Then he leaned back, and with a bang, he smashed the rosewood chair beside her into her body.
Li Mengqi was completely stunned, before she could even react, she saw her shoulders violently shaking, her eyes quickly turning red, and the words that came out were actually accompanied by a thick sobbing sound. It was so loud that it made people feel that something was wrong …
“Mr. Li, I know that it would be a bit selfish to ask you to leave Elder Brother Ting, but do you have to make a move on me?” “* sob *, if elder brother Ting knew that you were such a cruel and merciless woman, how could he still like you?”
“Hey, you —”
If Li Mengqi still didn’t know about the little trick she was playing, she would really be too stupid. She frowned and was about to retort when she was interrupted by a scream —
“Of course, what happened to you?”
Li Mengqi turned her head and saw a graceful middle-aged woman walking worriedly towards Shen Xingran. Behind her, there was also Old Master Qi, Principal Shen and a middle-aged man that she did not know.
From the looks of it, the person who came was Shen Xingran’s parents. Li Mengqi knew something was wrong, but when she looked up, she saw Minister Shen Qian smiling at her. She pursed her lips and nodded politely in response.
“Mom, streamer Li didn’t do it on purpose, so don’t blame her. I was just smashed by a chair, maybe fractured… “Wu wu, it hurts!”
Shen Xin Ran blinked her tear-stained eyelashes. The expression on her face looked especially painful. Her voice was a little teary, and her words had a delicate and touching charm, yet it was a clear accusation against Li Mengqi.
“I didn’t —”
Although Li Mengqi’s personality was quite gentle, she wasn’t a person who was willing to suffer a loss. In this kind of situation, she would naturally defend herself. However, Shen Jingbin’s mother, who loved her daughter dearly, had rushed in front of her without anyone noticing. She threw the dagger towards her face …
‘Bang! ‘A crisp sound made the noisy space quiet down.
Li Mengqi was stupefied. Thirty hours had passed without a single drop of water touching her, and she was already weak and powerless, but being slapped by Shen Jingbin’s mother so heavily, her body was on the verge of collapse, and she staggered a few steps back. Luckily, there was a dining table behind her, so she didn’t fall.
Shen Jingbin’s mother wasn’t going to let this go easily. In the next second, she fiercely rushed over, tugging at her hair as she scolded, “You uncultured scoundrel, how dare you make a move on my precious daughter, hm?”
Ah!
Li Mengqi was in so much pain that she burst into tears. She was thin and weak, unable to contend against her domineering and intrepid mother. It was as if she was being cut like meat on a chopping block.
“I will beat you to death today. Let’s see how you are going to flirt with a man!” Shen Jingbin’s mother gnashed her teeth and wanted to slap him a few more times, but her wrist was grabbed in midair — —
Aunt, isn’t it bad to take action before the matter is made clear?” “Money officer Shen narrowed his eyes, disapproval evident between his brows.
“Brother, what do you mean?”
Shen Xingran stood up with the support of her father. Originally, when she saw Li Mengqi being beaten up by her mother, she was in a very good mood. Who knew that her cousin, who always doted on her, would actually help her at this moment?
She secretly adjusted her emotions and quickly regained her appearance of being wronged. She sobbed, “I have a new audition next week, could it be that I will hurt myself at this critical juncture? “Brother, aren’t you going a bit too far?”
“Thousand Meddling Hands, you’re right. Since young, she has always cherished her own body. How could she possibly do such a thing? I think it was this shameless vixen who did it. “Get out of the way, or else I’ll let your parents decide!”
Even though she was facing money officer Shen’s face, her face still did not look good. Her tone of voice was filled with warning. Actually, of course she knew that her daughter wasn’t a good person, but under such circumstances, how could she be biased and help others?
“Aunt, the restaurant is monitored. If you want to check everything out, you can just call out the surveillance. However, are you sure you want to do this?” The words that came out of his mouth caused Shen Xingran’s eyes to flicker as a trace of guilt flitted across his heart. Then, he forced out a painful cry — —
“Mom, my arm hurts!”
“That’s true. Mom will send you to the hospital right now. Endure it for now.” When her mother saw this, she hurriedly pulled away from Shen Qian’s hand and walked back.
At this time, Qi Shengqian finally spoke up from the side, “Let’s end this here. The two of you, husband and wife, quickly go to the doctor. As for you … ”
He suddenly glanced at the silent Li Mengqi and said in a deep voice, “The plane will arrive in half an hour, please leave immediately!”
After Qi Siqian finished, he brushed his sleeves and walked out of the dining hall. The three Shen family members also left in a hurry. This was the end of a farce!
When Officer Shen saw Li Mengqi with her head lowered, her hair in disarray, looking extremely miserable, a trace of impatience flitted across his eyes. He walked up to her and caressed her head, asking with concern, “Are you alright?”
Hearing that, Li Mengqi gently raised her head and forced a smile at him, “I’m fine. Thank you for just now. ”
“That’s what I should do.” Seeing that she was pretending to be strong, Minister Shen Qian secretly sighed in his heart. He glanced at the untouched breakfast on the dining table and said in a much softer voice, “Eat something. I’ll bring you to see the Imperial Court later.”
Grandfather Qi said that he had to leave in half an hour, and time was limited, this was all he could do for her.
“I can’t eat, can you take me there now?” At this moment, she only wanted to see him. She didn’t care about her stomach which was already so hungry that she couldn’t feel it, and her face which was still faintly aching from the beating.
“Alright then.” Seeing this, the money officer let her do as she pleased.
Qi Junhao’s room was on the third floor closest to her. Officer Shen led her to the door and gave her a complicated look, “The doctor said he didn’t wake up that quickly. You should go in and see him.” I’ll wait for you outside. ”
“Mm, thank you!” Li Mengqi sincerely bowed to him. Although she never had a good impression of Officer Shen, and even disliked him a lot, but it had to be said that this man always appeared when she needed help. In her heart, she had already unknowingly treated him as a friend.
“Time is of the essence, quickly go in.” Officer Shen opened the door for her and waited for her to enter before he closed the door. Seeing that the corridor was empty, he walked to a nearby window, took out a cigarette, and lit it.
The moment Li Mengqi entered the room, the first thing she saw was the man that she had been yearning for. At this moment, she was lying lifelessly on the bed.
“Qi Junhao!”
Even though she knew he wouldn’t wake up, Li Mengqi still softly called out his name. Those three words were like imprints carved into the depths of her soul. Every time she read them, she would remind her how important this man was to her!
Moving at a heavy pace, she slowly walked over and sat on the edge of his bed.
At this moment, he was in deep sleep, as if he had lost all of his vitality. It was so fragile that it made one’s heart ache.
Thinking back to the thrilling scene from yesterday, Li Mengqi could not help but feel her nose sour, and she choked with sobs, “Sorry, I was the one who implicated you.”
After she finished speaking, she took his large hand and lightly pinched it, then placed it against her cheek and muttered: “If only you could wake up at this time, even if I personally apologize to you before leaving, I wouldn’t be so regretful. “Sorry, maybe our fates are still too shallow after all. With so many obstacles, we are destined not to be able to work together in this lifetime …”
“It was my fault that I failed you. I hope that you can find an elegant and virtuous wife in the future. She truly loves you and doesn’t need you to take risks for her. She can also help your career. However, can you promise me that woman, not Shen Xingran? “I can’t bear to give you to her …”
“Qi Junhao, I can’t bear to part with you. What should I do?”
Although she didn’t want to admit it, she was very clear in her heart that in the past five years she had never had a man who could leave a mark on her heart. Except for him!
She didn’t know if she would meet such a man after she left him. Occasionally, he would be overbearing and shameless, occasionally he would be gentle and considerate, he would be so bad that it would make people grind their teeth, but it would also make people unable to forget. More importantly, when danger was approaching, she would even disregard her own life in order to protect him …
There was no more. For her, there would never be a second Qi Junhao in this world. However, he was destined to belong to someone else!
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly throbbed in pain. She subconsciously covered her chest and took a deep breath.
Seeing that the man on the bed was still unconscious, Li Mengqi’s eyes flashed with worry. She leaned over and gave him a light kiss on the corner of her lips.
Time passed minute by minute, half an hour was about to pass. Li Mengqi was still tightly holding onto his hand, unwilling to let it go, but she knew that she had no choice —
“I’m leaving, I will stay far away from you in the future. Although I know it will be difficult to do so, I will definitely work hard — — to forget you!”
As Li Mengqi finished speaking, she took his big hand and kissed him on the lips. She couldn’t help but let her tears fall down, falling into his palm and spreading between his fingers. It seemed as if in the next second, they would seep into his skin and reach his bones and blood.
She panicked and hurriedly wiped him dry with her sleeve, but the tears only got worse and worse, no matter how she wiped them.
Suddenly, the man’s large hand gently moved. Her rough thumb gently caressed the back of her hand. Li Mengqi felt her spine stiffen as she raised her head to look. It just so happened to meet her pair of eyes that were as deep as obsidian.
She froze, not knowing how to react for a moment.
At this moment, her hair was in disarray, her almond eyes were red and swollen, and she looked to be in an extremely sorry state. This kind of person had a grievance that he had never seen before. She was like a daughter-in-law that had escaped from a refugee camp, weak to the point where she would fall if the wind blew …
Qi Junhao frowned unconsciously, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down a few times. Then, he asked in a hoarse voice, “Who bullied you?”
Li Mengqi didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she quickly changed the topic, her eyes flashing, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“Did Grandpa bully you?” He did not answer her question and continued to question her.
“Nothing.” Li Mengqi smiled at him. Seeing him struggle to get up, she quickly took his arm and waited for him to sit down. She affectionately picked up a pillow and placed it behind his back.
Qi Junhao stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly touched the side of her face where she had been slapped. His eyes darkened as he asked, “Who hit you?”
Boom — —
Actually, before she went upstairs, Officer Shen had already applied ice cubes on her. Now, it didn’t look that obvious anymore. However, she never expected that he, who was wounded by a gun, would be so sensitive.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to explain.
Seeing her biting his lips and not saying anything, Qi Junhao had a plan in mind. He was about to say something when he heard her sweet voice. It was easy to make him worry.
“Since you are awake, I will leave now. The television station still has a lot of things to do, your grandpa is very nice, he will send a special plane to take me back. ”
“…” Qi also heard this and his pale face instantly turned dark.
“Have a good rest!” Li Mengqi tried her best to look calm. Half an hour had already passed, if she didn’t leave now, and if old man Qi personally came later to chase her away, what if it angered him and caused his wounds to burst? Moreover, she could tell that his grandfather doted on him, and she didn’t want to cause the grandfather and grandson of his to become enemies because of her.
Of course, Qi Junhao didn’t know what she was thinking. At this moment, he could only feel a surge of anger slowly spreading out from his chest.
This heartless woman!
For her, he could even forsake his life. But for her, the reward she gave him was a sentence that was so indifferent that it could even reach the depths of her bones, ‘Have a good rest’?
“Heh —”
Qi Junhao laughed, a cold smile appearing on his face.
That faint smile was like a sharp blade that stabbed deeply into Li Mengqi’s heart. She was in so much pain that she almost couldn’t breathe as she subconsciously clenched her fists. However, she didn’t even notice the pain when her nails dug into her flesh.
“Goodbye!”
She turned around and softly dropped the sentence. After taking two steps, she heard his cold voice, “Who said you could leave without my permission?”
Li Mengqi’s pretty face froze, but her steps didn’t stop. In fact, they even sped up …
Qi Junhao, I’m sorry!
Eat well, recuperate well, and take good care of yourself!
If there is a next life, I will love you…
“Go out and try it out!” His voice, mixed with surging rage, was like an enormous wave, ferocious to the point that it almost drowned her within it.
Li Mengqi’s hand that was holding onto the doorknob trembled as she took a deep breath. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard a ‘bang’ sound behind her. She hastily turned her head and saw the man’s tall body falling down.
No!
At this moment, she could no longer conceal the deep concern she had for him in her heart. She took a big stride forward and extended her hand in an attempt to support him. Unexpectedly, he forcefully pushed her away —
Li Mengqi staggered back a few steps, and her vision suddenly blurred and she almost fell to the ground. She leaned against the wall with her eyes closed. She stood there for a while, until the dizziness faded away. Then she opened her eyes and looked at Qi Junhao. She saw him struggle to get up from the carpet and return to his seat.
His wounds were split open again after he threw himself down just now. The white bandage had been dyed red, making it look extremely shocking.
How terrible!
Li Mengqi could not bear it any longer, so she braced herself and walked over. She said softly, “The wound is open, I’ll go get a doctor for you.”
“…” The man did not speak. His handsome face remained as cold as ice. He looked out of the window, not even sparing her a glance.
Li Mengqi licked her lips, injured. Just as she was about to say something, the door was pushed open and a tall figure barged in.
“Ah, you’re awake!” A hint of surprise flashed through his beautiful peach blossom eyes before the corners of his mouth curled up, making him smile exceptionally happily.
He had been called in by Old Master Qi to bring Li Mengqi away, but who knew that Qi Junhao had already woken up. Heh heh, isn’t it better to call this a man than a god? This time, it was likely that Beauty Li would really be unable to leave.
However, why did the atmosphere seem so strange?
Shouldn’t the two who had gone through the tribulation of life and death whisper to each other? Why does he look like he has a deep grudge?
Young Master Shen, who had always been adept at handling relationships, was thrown into disarray this time.
When Qi Junhao saw him enter, a strange light flashed past his eyes. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a low voice, “Why are you here?”
“Sigh, upon hearing the news that you were injured, I was so scared that I almost died. Aren’t you going to hurry over?” With his long legs swinging back and forth, he walked to his mother’s side and smiled to ease the weird atmosphere in the room. “Since you’re awake, shouldn’t you order something to eat?” Also, host Li is worried that you won’t even eat breakfast. I heard that your big brother locked you up and you haven’t eaten much. How can a girl stay hungry for two days? ”
Hungry for two days?
When Qi Junhao heard this, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly. He glanced at her and realized that she was as delicate as a porcelain doll. Just a gentle touch would be enough to break his body into pieces. His heart slightly tightened at this moment, and a feeling of compassion seeped into his limbs and bones, merging with his blood and bones.
Officer Shen saw that his handsome face was so dark that he couldn’t recognize him. He gave a sigh and walked over to the head counter. He picked up the microphone and pressed a button. “Your young master has woken up. Prepare two breakfasts.”
After putting down the phone, he glanced at Li Mengqi and lightly smiled, “Mr. Li, Ting is already awake. Please accompany him for a meal later. I’ll go out first and not disturb you guys. ”
Seeing that money official Shen turned around to leave, Li Mengqi hurriedly called out to him, “I’ll go with you.”
“Leader Li, with Ting here, you really don’t have to —” Officer Shen wanted to comfort her, but Qi Junhao spoke in a cold voice — “Don’t be afraid of Old Master Qi.”
