    BOOK

    CHAPTER 201 - SUCH FORTUITOUS ENCOUNTERS

    What a disturbing day!

    After tidying up all the documents, Tian Shitong stretched out his arm lazily. Little Xu, you've been through a lot. I wonder when that god of pests will be able to disappear from your side? I really look forward to this day coming soon, so that we can regain our freedom!

    Although it was Tang Xu who was locked up by Meng Xingzhang, Tian Chutong had always tied her future together with Tang Xu's. Therefore, when she saw that Tang Xu wasn't happy, she felt the same.

    Thinking about how Tang Xu had to face the strange looks from the company's employees along with Meng Xingzheng's various difficulties, Tian Shitong wanted to take Tang Xu and leave this place. Could this city only bring us harm?

    Ye Zichen sighed softly. Tian Shitong scratched her head and slowly walked out of the office with her bag.

    Just as she reached the door, she saw something that made her shudder: Qi Xian? What was he doing here? Wait for me?

    However, in the next second, Tian Shitong pushed all those thoughts out of her head. What are you thinking? How could he have come for you? He guessed that there was some unlucky girl that caught his eye.

    Patting her head hard, Tian Zhitong tried to hypnotize herself: I can't see, I can't see anything.

    Is there something wrong with this woman's head?

    Qi Xian's face turned extremely ugly. She didn't even feel a thing while sitting in a car at my age? It's a good thing you forgot me so completely after we broke up!

    Qi Shan's chest was heaving with anger. She quickly parked the car in front of Tian Chutong, thinking that she would be stopped this time.

    However, after half a second of hesitation, Tian Chuntong turned around and walked back.

    Stop right there!

    Qishan, who had never been treated like this by a woman before, couldn't stand this sort of cold treatment and quickly grabbed Tian Chutong's arm.

    What!

    The sharp shout embarrassed Qishan. She immediately let go of Qishan's hand. Can you calm down a bit?

    I'm very calm!

    Tian Shitong pursed his lips and smiled, his red face showing a trace of calmness. Mr. Qi, can you please behave yourself? I don't have anything to do with you anymore, do I?

    As long as you remember!

    Qi Jian immediately regretted his words. However, before he could even open his mouth, Tian Shitong extended his hand and made a gesture of farewell. My home is still waiting for me to eat. Let's not chat anymore!

    Qishan, abandoned again in the cold, felt her whole heart freeze. Was she really doing well? Because she can be happy without me?

    Qishan, who she had known from the start of her design, suddenly felt very sad. An unnoticeable emotion flashed in her heart.

    Don't cry, you can't cry!

    Tian Shitong gripped her skirt tightly. She cursed herself in her heart thousands of times before raising her head. I've already put it down! I've put it down!

    Shen Tong!

    Tang Xu, who had just gotten out of Meng Xing Zhang's car, didn't even have time to speak to Meng Xing Zhang before he rushed forward to hug her when he saw the exhausted Tian Zhen Tong.

    I'm fine. Little Xu, don't worry about me. Don't worry!

    Fool!

    With a pained heart, Tang Xu pinched her face: You must have thought of Qi Xian again, right? It looks like you've really given too much to him.

    Thinking that this matter was caused by him, Tang Xu clenched his fists and fiercely glanced at Meng Xing Zhang who was sitting in the car.

    Pay attention to your attitude. Otherwise, follow me!

    Can I take a leave of absence today?

    Looking at the piece of gauze still stuck to Tang Xu's forehead, Meng Xing Zhang narrowed his eyes. I'll report in the morning the day after tomorrow!

    Alright!

    When he noticed the gratitude in Tang Xu's eyes, Meng Xingzhang found it laughable: Since when did I become so soft-hearted?

    After hesitating for a moment, Meng Xing Zhang waved his hands at the driver, Drive away!

    Watching Meng Xingzhang's car disappear into the night, Tian Shitong couldn't help but rub his eyes. Did this guy eat the wrong medicine? You are actually willing to return the day after tomorrow? "

    Tang Xu smiled awkwardly at Tian Shitong. Once again, his eyes were filled with sadness as he thought to himself, Isn't everything up to him? When I'm happy, I let you leave for a few days. When I'm unhappy, I pester you. In short, don't take it too seriously.

    After entering the house with Tian Chutong, Tang Xu asked her why she was crying again.

    Tian knew that nothing could be hidden from her, so she told Tang Xu that she had met Qi Xian again.

    Looking for you again?

    Tang Xu really couldn't bring his little universe down to a whole level: What was he trying to do? Was the feeling of teasing so funny?

    Calm down, my dear, calm down!

    Tian Shitong was worried that Tang Xu was going to complain about her injustice, so she immediately put her hand on his arm, I'm fine. I just broke up with you. It feels weird, but I'll be fine after a while.

    Tang Xu helplessly shook his head as he reached out to pat her face: Silly girl, you're obviously having a hard time hiding it, but you admit it in such a mean manner. Do you know how hard it is for you to do so?

    It's done.

    Tian Shitong blinked mischievously at Tang Xu. Don't forget, I'm a strong woman who shook my head like a ghost. I won't be unable to stand up because of my emotional trauma.

    I hope so!

    Hey!

    As usual, Tian Chutong felt that since he knew about Tang Xu's previous decisions, he still wanted to stay by her side: The only one who could accompany Xiao Xu was me, and only me.

    Actually, the two of them were very similar. Both of them had experienced the same pain, and they were both abandoned people.

    If these two people could not understand each other, who would cherish them?

    Little Xu, let's make an agreement.

    Eh?

    Tang Xu looked at Tian Chutong's serious expression and asked in a daze, What's wrong?

    Will we be single for the rest of our lives if we are not married by the time we reach the age of thirty?

    Thirty years old? He was thinking so far ahead!

    Tang Xu looked at her nervous eyes and could not bear to disappoint her. Okay.

    A smile gradually appeared on Xun Tong's face. This is great! We really have the most tacit understanding!

    Of course!

    Tang Xu's lonely eyes turned gentle. We will always be so taciturn. We won't be able to change the injuries of the past, but we can grasp the present.

    Actually, this decision wasn't bad either. Since Meng Xing Zhang wasn't willing to let go of him, he might as well give up on him. The feeling of being together with a friend was much safer than being together with a man.

    Next time, avoid Qishan as much as possible. I don't know if he's planning anything again!

    I got it. It really was an accident this time. We didn't contact him in advance, so he must have gone there to wait for another woman! Therefore, I will not be serious! "

    CHAPTER 202 - THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT WITH ME

    Stop drinking!

    Meng Xingzhang watched Qi Zhanzheng take down another bottle of strong wine from the bar counter and immediately moved to stop her. Drinking it would not change anything even if I were to die!

    Who said I was going to change?

    Qi Xian glanced at Meng Xing Zhang snappily, then snorted as he poured himself a glass of red wine and swirled it around. Qi Xian looked at the red wine as it swirled in the air with a profound look in her eyes. I just don't think that she has the right to seek true love.

    Not qualified?

    Meng Xing Zhang shot a sidelong glance at his good brother: Do you have the final say in this? Maybe she listened to you before, but don't forget, you caused her to lose a child, and most importantly, you two have already broken up.

    Although Qi Xian had always said that he hated Tian Chutong the most, he felt that she was the same as Tang Xu, a complete liar and an ungrateful woman. However, Meng Xing Zhang knew that Qi Xian was in for a mess this time. At the very least, he had some feelings for Tian Chutong.

    Clang!

    Hearing the noise coming from the table, both Qishan and Meng Xing Zhang raised their heads. Tang Xu?

    Ignoring Meng Xing Zhang's expression, Tang Xu pointed at the diamond ring on the table and coldly said, Dian Tong said that you don't want the things you're giving me. She brought the diamond ring back for you first. As for the clothes you bought, she'll work hard to make money and then give them back to you.

    What do you mean?

    Qi Xian slowly sat up straight, looking at Tang Xu with an annoyed expression. Do you think the things I gave you will be taken back?

    That's your problem!

    Tang Zhen didn't want to waste anymore time with him, so he slowly walked over and rolled his eyes: I'm warning you, in the future don't appear within 10 kilometers of my home. Otherwise, you just watch how I'll take care of you!

    Hey, come back here!

    Seeing Tang Xu leave after leaving his things, Qi Xian felt as if her heart had been stuck in a fish bone: Damn it, you're actually leaving like this? What kind of person do you think I am?

    Meng Xingzhang, who was sitting at the side, narrowed his eyes. Tang Xu, your friend is really different from you. He doesn't take any money from anything that others give him, but what about you? Looks like you really should learn from your friend's attitude. Oh, no, you are not the same people, how could you learn it?

    Look at what you've done!

    Qi Xian shook the diamond ring on his hand furiously. When did I ask her to return this to me?

    Meng Xing Zhang slightly curled his lips, reminding Qi Xian that Tang Xu wasn't the real reason. The real reason was that the owner of the diamond ring didn't want it anymore.

    Then why are you giving it to me?

    Qishan pouted dejectedly. I don't think I should coax a woman into not being able to afford a diamond ring, do I? Since she gave it away, it would be hers. So what if she gave it back to me?

    Plus, Qi Zhenzhan's heart felt as if it was blocked by a rock when he thought about how Tian Shitong had not only given him the diamond ring but also the money for his clothes.

    If you don't want the diamond ring, give it to the woman here. I think if you, Qi Zhanzheng, were to stand on the dance floor, you would definitely become the target of all the stars.

    Hearing Meng Xingzhang's self-mockery, Qi Xian couldn't help but laugh. If that's the case, then this diamond ring is really a waste. How could I let others take it so easily?

    Although Qi Shan kept saying that he didn't want it, he still kept it in his pocket. That was because he finally found a reason that he could look for Tian Chutong openly.

    Even if we broke up, I would never take back the thing I gave you. You have to remember this!

    How is it?

    Tian Ytong hurriedly walked in front of Tang Xu and held her hand. He … did he accept it?

    Tang Xu narrowed his eyes. Then, do you wish for him to accept it?

    Tian Shitong was slightly surprised, What do you mean?

    Sighing, Tang Xu touched Tian Chitong's face, thinking that perhaps he had overthought things. It's fine.

    Just as the two of them were about to sit down and talk, a sharp sound of brakes came from outside the door. This caused Tian Yutong and Tang Xu to be stunned. What's going on?

    Reaching to open the door, the two of them simultaneously saw the 'eyesore' Rolls-Royce Phantom sports car parked in front of the apartment building.

    Tang Xu wanted to hug Qi Zhanzhan again, but she couldn't stop him this time. Qi Zhitong pushed him onto the sofa at the side, then grabbed Tian Chitong and carried him off.

    Looking in the rearview mirror at Tang Xu jumping around in front of the apartment's door, a trace of disdain appeared in Qishan's eyes: she really was a foolish woman with a chest but no brains.

    Creak!

    The car stopped at the seaside. Qi Chen pulled up the handbrake and sat quietly in the car with Tian Chutong.

    This atmosphere made Tian Zhutong feel like he was going to suffocate. What are you trying to do?

    What do you think?

    Qi Cheng gave her a cold glance, then slowly took out a ring from his pocket. What do you mean?

    Tian Shitong's heart ached. Shouldn't you know?

    Stupid woman!

    Qi Xian was defeated by Tian Shitong. I came to ask you about it because I didn't know about it!

    Oh.

    Qishan had originally thought that there would be some small extravagance in the depths of Tian Shitong's eyes. For example, he thought that he would like to start over with her.

    However, when he saw her calm and frightening expression, he suddenly wondered if he had run into an iceberg. Why did he feel so cold all over?

    With great difficulty, Qishen forced out a smile at her, suppressing her anger. I say, can you not talk like Tang Xu?

    What happened to Tang Xu? What right do you have to discriminate against her? Do you think that your Young Master is so amazing? "

    Qishan was on the verge of going crazy. I've only said one thing, and you've already rejected me so many times. How much do you want to anger me to death?

    With an awkward cough, Qi Xian pursed her lips. It's not that I'm looking down on her, it's just that I feel …

    I'm sorry!

    Tian Shitong untied the safety belt on his body and revealed a trace of impatience towards Qishan. If you brought me here to talk about this with me, I can tell you right now that I'm not interested!

    Wait!

    Qi Xian unhappily pressed down on Tian Shitong's palm. Get off! There's no taxi here to take you back!

    Tian Shitong showed his white teeth as he smiled at Qishan. Can't I walk back without a car? Although I admit that I'm a road nerd, but what's a map on a phone for?

    Seeing that Tian Shitong was really going to leave, Qi Shan was instantly set ablaze. Are you that afraid of being together with me?

    His footsteps stopped abruptly. Tian Chantong's long hair fell down to his sides, covering up her expression. Are you afraid of me? What was there to be afraid of? Qishan, I just don't want to see you, because you really make me sick! "

    After saying that, Tian Shitong ran away.

    Standing dumbly in the sea breeze, Qishan felt uncomfortable in her chest: was this the feeling of being flung away?

    CHAPTER 203 - THIS ROAD IS ALL TAKEN BY ONE PERSON

    It's over!

    If there really was something that Tian Shitong regretted, then she felt that she had forgotten to check how much electricity was on her phone before she left!

    Looking at the already black screen on his phone, Tian Jingtong could not help but want to bite off his tongue: Why not take his car and go back? What good would it do to fight him? Now it's all right, bad luck.

    Tian Shitong felt that she was in a hopeless situation where Tian Tian didn't respond to him and didn't respond. Where did I get to?

    She looked around and didn't see any place that she could take a taxi to. There was only a small path in front of her and the main road she had taken when she had arrived.

    If she chose the path, Tian Shitong felt that she would be more and more confused. After all, she was the kind of person who was confused. If she got lost in the path, then she wouldn't be able to find her way back.

    However, if he were to walk on the main road, perhaps he might encounter some kind of kind-hearted person or something like that. Perhaps he might be able to walk on his own path for a short period of time?

    While Tian Chitong was standing by the roadside daydreaming, the Rolls-Royce Phantom appeared beside her once again.

    Qi Shan slowly poked his head out and looked at her. You really don't need my help? From the looks of it, you seem to be in trouble.

    Tian Shitong's eyes swept across Qishan's sports car. His lips moved slightly. No, I can't compromise. Otherwise, he'll think that I was being pretentious. I can't!

    With great difficulty, he forced a smile on his face. Tian Shitong nodded slightly and said, I don't need any help. I happen to need to lose weight recently, so walking a bit is actually good for my body.

    Is that so?

    Qishan subconsciously touched his chin, thinking carefully before opening his mouth, Are you going to lose weight? That was a good idea. However, from here to your house, roughly five kilometers was left. Are you sure you want to leave? "

    Five kilometers?

    Tian Shitong lowered his head to look at the clothes he was wearing and could not help but raise his eyebrows. Will this five-kilometer-long coat completely destroy his leg?

    Fool!

    Qishan's lips curved up proudly. I knew you'd be scared, because there's no woman who wouldn't stand on their side.

    However, Qishan was quickly shocked by Tian Chitong.

    She bent down to take off her shoes, and then directly took the high heels into her hands. Then she smiled at Qishan. That's great.

    Qishan's eyes widened. No way? Is this woman crazy? Walk barefoot?

    Indeed, a five-kilometer-long journey would be much more comfortable if you were barefoot than if you were wearing high heels. However, the problem was that if one was barefoot in this kind of weather, it would be very easy for the cold to enter the body.

    How long had it been since Tian Shitong had miscarried? If the cold entered her body, her body would collapse in the future.

    Thinking to this, Qishan had no choice but to get out of the car and carry her up, then quickly buckled her up. Don't say anything else, you can walk back by yourself, do you hear me?

    The fierce tone of her voice made Tian Shitong's tears roll down uncontrollably. Her snow-white teeth bit her lips as she tried her best to not let herself cry out in front of Qi Zhanzheng.

    Seeing her act this way, Qi Zhanzhan felt as though he was being too fierce. I-I just want you to stop resisting my kindness.

    No need!

    Tian Shitong tugged on the door of the car, forcing Qishan to stop the car on the isolation belt. Are you crazy?

    After getting out of Qishan's car, Tian Shitong waved at him, I have legs. I can walk by myself. I don't need to trouble you.

    Trouble?

    Qishan watched as Tian Shitong walked forward step by step. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. You didn't even think it was a problem like this when we were together in the past. Why do you think it's a problem now?

    Yes, we've broken up.

    Qishan glanced at the tears at the corner of Tian Chutong's eyes and knew that she had overstepped her boundaries and made things difficult for him.

    In fact, from yesterday to today, he had done a lot of incredible things, so many that he couldn't take it anymore.

    With a stern face, Qishan said flatly, Since you don't need my help, I'll leave now.

    Right.

    As Tian Chutong replied with her last word, the car whizzed past her and disappeared without a trace.

    Actually, this was what she wanted, wasn't it? However, right now, she really wanted to cry: Little Xu, I want you to hug me. I'm so cold.

    Tian Jingtong had not calculated how long the 5-km journey would take. Since her phone was out of battery, she couldn't contact Xiao Xu at all. She could only take it step by step.

    Every time, Little Xu would say that she was a single-celled organism while Tian Shitong would always smile because she felt that she was just like that. Once things were decided, there would be no change at all.

    Qi Xian should have really wanted to help him, but Tian Shitong didn't need him to be nice to her. They had already separated, so continuing to pester each other would only make things more difficult for the other.

    He said that he wouldn't cry, but his tears still rolled down uncontrollably: Let me be willful again, cry enough. After crying, I'll dig him out from the bottom of my heart and throw him away.

    It was his first time experiencing a relationship, but it was also his first time experiencing a complete betrayal. Tian Shitong felt that he should try to win because the chances of winning were the highest.

    It was only at this time that Tian Shitong began to relax. When she was in front of others, she would tighten her string and never let it go.

    She felt pity for Tang Xu, but in truth, she was just as good as he was.

    The only difference was that he wasn't planning on Qishan, but had been planning to make himself sad from the very beginning.

    It doesn't matter.

    Tian Jitong looked up at the most dazzling star in the sky. From tomorrow onwards, I will return to myself. No one will be able to affect me.

    The night was still very long. A thin and weak body continued to walk within it. Its body that was shivering due to the cold wind appeared exceptionally thin, as if it could collapse at any time.

    When Qishan, ten meters away, saw that stubborn little girl through the mirror, he felt as if his heart was bleeding.

    He really wanted to step on the accelerator and leave, but he couldn't because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see the figure that worried him, that stupid girl that had messed up his entire plan.

    I'll be able to put her down in a little while, just a little while longer.

    Qishan lied to himself time and time again. He slowly leaned back in his seat and waited for Tian Chutong to come to his side.

    Actually, he did care. However, he was also afraid that the incident with Meng Xing Zhang and Tang Xu would happen to him again. Therefore, for Qi Xian, it was best to prevent certain situations from unfolding. Even though it was a bit cruel, he still had to make a decision.

    CHAPTER 204 - THE TIME LIMIT FOR YOUR FREEDOM HAS COME TO AN END

    Strange, why hadn't she come after so long?

    Qishan looked at his watch and thought that he should have arrived by now, even if he was walking slowly. However, after half an hour, he still didn't see him.

    Something was not right!

    Qishan quickly put the car in gear and drove back. However, he found that Tian Shitong was lying on the roadside with a pale face. She had her eyes closed. It was obvious that she had lost consciousness.

    Quickly untying the safety belt, Qishan jumped out of the car and quickly walked over and held Tian Shitong in her arms. She then lightly slapped Tian Shitong's face with her palm. Hey, silly girl, are you alright? Silly girl? "

    I'm so sleepy, don't be noisy.

    Sleepy?

    Seeing Tian Chutong falling into his arms like a little kitten, Qishan felt both angry and amused. How could anyone be so stupid as to fall asleep when walking?

    Cautiously holding Tian Shitong's arm and getting on the car, Qishen reached out to adjust the seats in the front row to make them more comfortable for Tian Shitong to lie down on.

    He touched her chilled palm and thought deeply for a moment. Then, he took off his jacket and covered Tian Shitong's body. Then, he started the car once again and took her to the hospital.

    Along the way, Qishan felt very confused. Didn't I want to draw a clear line between them? Why was he worried about her now? Did I get distracted?

    The car came to a screeching halt in front of the hospital. Her lips were bleeding. How could I have gone into the tomb of my marriage after seeing Meng Xingzhang and Shen Lu in such a state of love?

    With a self-deprecating smile, Qishan adjusted her mood. Then, she reached out and pulled her coat off Tian Chutong's body.

    So cold.

    Tian Jingtong, who had suddenly lost her jacket, pouted. She hugged herself tightly. It was obvious that she had regained some of her consciousness.

    You've been in my car long enough, aren't you going to wake up?

    The emotionless voice caused Tian Shitong to be extremely cold. He had no choice but to open his tired eyes. It's you?

    Qishan sneered. Or are you a ghost?

    Embarrassed, she sat up and rubbed her eyes. She found herself at the entrance of the hospital. Why did you bring me here?

    Although I don't know if you're sleeping or not, I think it's better if you do an inspection!

    No need!

    Tian Shitong wanted to open the car door again to get out, but Qishen glanced at her with embarrassment and annoyance. No one will pick you up again and again by the road. You'd better not think that this kind of thing will happen again and again!

    Staring at Qishan in a daze, Tian Shitong realized that Qishen was truly angry. For a moment, he lost control of his tears again, Did you save me? Isn't it better for you to just watch me die?

    Not wanting to face the tears, Qishan fretfully grabbed the phone and called Tang Xu, Come to the regional hospital in ten minutes. Otherwise, it's none of my business whether your friend is dead or alive!

    What are you doing?

    Tian Shitong was very surprised by his actions. He could not help but frown and glare at him, Why are you saying this to Little Xu? She will be serious!

    I just want her to be serious.

    Qishan smiled at Tian Shitong and said, I just want her to know that I captured you just to play with you, do you understand?

    Bastard!

    Before his hand could even touch Qishan's face, his hand was intercepted in midair. Qishan shook her head helplessly. It looks like you still don't understand the situation. I won't let a woman help me.

    Ye Zichen pulled his hand back angrily. Tian Shitong felt that her wrist, which he was pinching, was still hurting. This let her know that Qi Zhanhan was angry with her and reminded her not to act recklessly.

    However, the more cruel he was, the more he understood what he should do: Do you want to see me in such a sorry state? I don't.

    He pursed his lips and smiled at Qishan. Tian Shitong traced his bangs with his fingertip. His eyes were extremely flirtatious and flirtatious, which made Qishan feel very embarrassed. Did you eat the wrong medicine?

    Young Master Qi, did you not let me get out of the car because you couldn't bear to leave me? I know you like me, but it's going to be hard on you. You know what? Among my prey, you have never been counted! "

    Prey?

    Qi Xian's eyes flashed with anger. You dare to compare me to a prey? Tian Chutong, good job!

    Feeling that he had succeeded in making Qi Xian angry, Tian Shitong secretly felt proud of himself. Just as he was about to say something more to stimulate Qi Xian, she couldn't help but yell, Scram!

    Her heart was in pain, but she continued to stare at Qishan with a smile. Do you really not want me to accompany you?

    I told you to scram, didn't I?

    Seeing Qishan angrily slapping the steering wheel, Tian Shitong slowly put on her high heels and blew a kiss at Qishan, who was in a rage inside the car. Good luck!

    She stared at Tian Chentong's back for a long time. Qishen really wanted to rush up and strangle this woman: How many people do you have that you want to date? Are you just going wild like this? You just broke up and you want to go find other rich people?

    Sensing that his emotions were slowly being affected by Tian Shitong's presence, Qi Chan quickly shifted his gaze. Just as he was about to leave, a hand pressed against the windshield of his car.

    Looking at this pair of eyesore hands, Qi Xian raised her eyebrows slightly. Tang Xu? You finally appeared. This snail speed is something only you can create!

    However, just as Qi Jian opened the car door, he saw Meng Xingzhang beside Tang Xu. Why are you two together?

    That's not important!

    Feeling embarrassed and annoyed, Tang Xu stepped forward and kicked Qi Cheng. On what basis are you taking my friend away?

    I should be asking you that.

    Qi Cheng snorted and raised his head, Shen Yin is injured because of you, right? Is it because of you that the relationship between Meng Xing Zhang and Ruan Menglan broke down? This female devil has harmed so many people and she still hasn't stopped. Now that she has even harmed her own friends, are you still going to persevere?

    I didn't.

    Tang Xu's reaction to Qishan's humiliation was especially intense. Don't think that you're that clean. If you bully her like this, you'll be punished.

    Pah!

    Qi Xian slapped Tang Xu hard on the face. If you want retribution, you're the first one to take it!

    Just as Tang Xu raised his hand to return the slap, he was blocked by Meng Xing Zhang: Stop messing around.

    Turning around in disbelief, Tang Xu didn't expect Meng Xing Zhang to actually stop him from fighting, Are you blind?

    I'm not blind, but you deserve it.

    His cold words made Tang Xu tremble. Let go of me, I want to leave this place.

    I don't have that chance anymore!

    Meng Xing Zhang stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, his black pupils revealed a teasing expression, The freedom I gave you has ended today. From now on, you are not allowed to leave me even half a step. No matter who that person is, you cannot be taken away. Because you are my slave, only a slave, do you understand? "

    CHAPTER 205 - EVEN CRYING IS A SIN

    Even if he's a slave, he's only yours. If he wasn't, then what right does he have to hit me?!

    Meng Xing's cold gaze pierced into Tang Xu's heart like an icicle. She staggered backward a few steps.

    His fingers gently caressed Tang Xu's tear-stained face. Meng Xingzhang felt that if he didn't know what kind of person Tang Xu was, he would have impulsively embraced her and comforted her.

    However, it was a pity that this woman was not worthy for him to do that!

    Qi Xian is not your master, but he can beat you because you're so despicable.

    Meng Xing Zhang, you're too much!

    Tian Shitong endured the pain in his leg. Just as he was about to intervene in this matter, Qi Xian stopped him. Stop causing trouble here. That has nothing to do with you.

    It has nothing to do with me?

    With a slight twitch of his eyebrows, Tian Chuntong felt his heart ache. The anger in his eyes continued to spew out. He was practically burning Qishan to death. Tang Xu is my friend.

    Then you're still a bitch.

    With that, Qishan drove away.

    Tian Shitong did not react at all. She only felt the last of the warmth in her body being sucked away bit by bit. Am I a slut too?

    Both his eyes turned red. Tian Shitong gripped his skirt with all his might. When we were dating, did you actually look at me like that?

    It wouldn't hurt if his heart died, but the trouble was whether he lived or died. That would truly be tormenting.

    Tang Xu looked at Tian Chutong's painful expression and once again wanted to take a step forward. However, his wrist was being pinched so hard by Meng Xingzhang that it felt like it was about to break. What are you doing?

    Hearing Tang Xu's pained cries, Tian Jitong finally walked out of his daze. After glancing at the two of them, he smiled faintly at Tang Xu, I'm fine. You guys can leave.

    Meng Xing Zhang didn't give Tang Xu a chance to speak up and instead directly brought her into the car and slammed the door shut.

    Looking at the car that was leaving, Tian Shitong ran his hand through his long hair. [Not everyone will be able to stay with each other until the end.]

    After slapping her little face, Tian Shitong forced a smile onto her face. Do your best! You have to get better before you can help Little Xu. She's still waiting for you to rescue her from that great devil Meng's clutches. Do your best!

    His body heavily fell onto the soft bed. Before Tang Xu could react, Meng Xingzhang's tall body had already been pressed down. The weight made Tang Xu unable to breathe.

    Let me go, it hurts!

    Meng Xing Zhang lowered his head and bit into Tang Xu's neck with all his might. After confirming that there were deep teeth marks on his face, he raised his head and looked at Tang Xu who was lying on the ground below him. Looking at her painful frown, Meng Xing Zhang's cold lips slowly moved towards Tang Xu's forehead. Isn't it nice to have to go against me? "

    Yes, it feels good.

    Tang Xu knew that Meng Xing Zhang was deliberately tormenting him, so she didn't show any signs of depression or anger. Instead, she smiled flirtatiously at him, I just like you torturing me. Director Meng, is that all you've got? Do you want me to teach you something? "

    Meng Xing Zhang's expression darkened. He was a little embarrassed and annoyed at Tang Xu's change of attitude. He immediately pinched her chin and said, You're not just a slut and a slut, you're far from that!

    How do you know I'm not?

    Tang Xu smiled as he stared into Meng Xing Zhang's fiery eyes, his delicate arms supporting his body as he sat up. His fingers hooked onto Meng Xing Zhang's tie, and his eyebrows darkened, Maybe, when you don't know it, I have a lot of playthings that you can't see.

    Very good!

    Meng Xing Zhang's chest heaved as he approached Tang Xu, So, you can handle anything?

    Tang Xu was slightly startled, but then he pursed his lips and smiled at him: That's true, but I'm just afraid that you won't do well.

    After roughly pulling off Tang Xu's skirt, Meng Xingzhang dragged her to the window. He sneered at her for a bit before suddenly pulling open the curtain.

    What are you doing?

    Tang Xu, who was originally unafraid of death for provoking Meng Xing Zhang, paled. You … you're not going to let others watch you, are you?

    Why not?

    The devilish smile on Meng Xing Zhang's face became even more obvious. Since you are such a dissolute woman, I should not care about what I do to you.

    No, I don't want it, I don't want it.

    Noticing that Tang Xu embarrassedly used his arms to hug his body, Meng Xing Zhang impatiently pressed her against the transparent window, his face full of disdain, Didn't you say you aren't afraid? Didn't you say that I wouldn't satisfy you? Then please please, come on!"

    Tang Xu, who finally realized his mistake, had no other choice but to approach Meng Xingzhang. His small hands trembled as he unbuttoned his shirt, Why are you urging me on? Aren't I already here?

    However, because of her fear, no matter how hard Tang Xu tried, he was unable to undo Meng Xing Zhang's buttons. This made her eyes turn red from anxiety.

    Seeing how her shirt was so wrinkled, as if she was a fool, Meng Xing Zhang impatiently ripped off his clothes and threw him to the ground.

    Ding ding dang.

    Looking at those glittering gold buttons falling in all directions on the ground, Tang Xu felt that he was destined to be unable to escape tonight. However, her pride didn't allow her to apologize to Meng Xingzhang, I didn't think that Director Meng would be so rude. It really is worrisome.

    What are you worried about?

    Meng Xing Zhang purposefully nudged Tang Xu with his body. A faint smile flashed across his eyes, Are you worried that I won't be able to satisfy you? Rest assured, this time, I will definitely make you regret saying those words!"

    No!

    He had only spat out one word when Meng Xing Zhang had already placed both of her hands on his head. His tongue had ruthlessly and slowly tortured her delicate body, forcing her to cooperate with him and enjoy the process, even though he knew she wasn't willing.

    Bastard!

    While worried about the weird looks from the passersby behind him, Tang Xu was also worried about whether or not Meng Xing Zhang would torture him to death. His heart was hanging in the air, unable to get rid of the discomfort he was feeling.

    Does it hurt?

    Meng Xing Zhang raised his head and glanced at Tang Xu, his black pupils flashing with intense resentment: I want you to live a life worse than death. You owe me this.

    When Tang Xu felt that Meng Xing was about to brutally merge into his body, she felt as if she was about to be torn apart. Tears fell incessantly from her eyes. Bastard! Bastard!

    His hands continuously grabbed Meng Xingzhang's shoulder, but he couldn't stop Meng Xingzhang's violence. Pain? All that you have to go through is just the beginning. If you can't take it anymore, who's going to satisfy me? Tang Xu, isn't this game pretty fun? In those few years where everything was blank, I will slowly get it back from you. I will get it back tenfold, a hundredfold!

    CHAPTER 206 - I CAN BE HAPPY

    Stop messing around, stop messing around.

    Tang Xu was too tired to move at all. He lay on the carpet like a dead fish, his eyes closed from exhaustion. Still, the person on him had no intention of letting her go. His wet tongue still licked against her snow-white neck.

    Helplessly raising his small hand and waving it about, Tang Xu could only mutter: Stop messing around, okay?

    Meng Xing Zhang pursed his lips into a smile and slowly pulled Tang Xu, who was as soft as mud, up, Then tell me, did I make you happy?

    A shiver ran through his body. Only now did Tang Xu remember Meng Xingzhang's expression when he fell asleep: Are you telling me that you did all the work you could and forced me to submit to you?

    Seeing that she still refused to give in, Meng Xing Zhang's cold palm pressed against her slender waist, causing Tang Xu to tremble all over as he gave a low snort, Just average.

    Ordinary?

    Meng Xing Zhang felt that Tang Xu really had an unshakable determination that he wouldn't wake up from his stupor even at the last moment. Really? I'm really sorry, but it seems like I haven't worked hard enough.

    Not hard enough?

    Tang Xu's face turned somewhat pale. Again? I can't stand it, you, you bastard!

    Get up.

    Tang Xu, who had suddenly been thrown onto the sofa by Meng Xing Zhang, stared blankly. He didn't know what he was going to do now.

    Meng Xing Zhang snorted and grabbed a shirt to put on, and quickly tied his tie with his fingertips, You think I spend my time playing with you? Oh right, remember to give me eighty thousand!"

    Eighty thousand? Why?

    Looking at Tang Xu's stupefied expression, Meng Xing Zhang couldn't help but pinch her pale face. My time is very precious. If you keep counting, then don't you want to give me back eighty thousand yuan for eight hours?

    F * ck you!

    Tang Xu was furious: a dignified CEO, how did you learn to do business like a bull? Eight hours and eighty thousand dollars!

    Looking at Tang Xu's furious expression, Meng Xing Zhang's mood was surprisingly good. As he put on his clean shoes, he asked Tang Xu, If I remember correctly, you're going to pay me in the next two days, right? Then, just give me the three hundred and twenty thousand that you owe me and I will deduct one thousand from you at a time! "

    Meng Xing Zhang!

    Tang Xu stomped his feet in anger, Do you take me for a slave? How much do you think my salary will be? If you ask for three hundred and twenty thousand, where will I find it for you?

    Can't you find it?

    Meng Xing Zhang walked in front of Tang Xu, his lips curving into a smile: Then use your body to compensate for it. At most, I'll give you a discount. Three hundred and twenty thousand becomes three thousand and two hundred nights, how about it? "

    Three thousand two hundred nights?

    Tang Xu leaned against the wall with his legs slightly weak: Are you trying to beat me to death?

    Alright, I'll be late now. I'll be leaving first. Remember to be here at 8 PM. You can't be late for even a second, remember!

    Meng Xing Zhang leaned over and kissed Tang Xu's face before walking out of the room with a refreshed expression on his face. He then closed the door behind him.

    Tang Xu touched his own face, which was even redder than the fireball he had just fired. He, just what does he mean?

    When he arrived at the company in a daze, Tang Xu discovered that the company's employees had been staring at him the entire time. Moreover, it was obvious that they were all showing looks of envy.

    What was going on?

    She nodded awkwardly at those people and quickened her pace towards the office.

    She gasped as she pushed open the door and entered. Am I in the wrong place? Or were these flowers in the wrong place?

    If it weren't for the fact that she had seen her own lovely cup of water on his table, Tang Xu really would have walked out and questioned her.

    Little Xu, you're finally here.

    Wow!

    When Tang Xu saw Tian Zhitong jumping out from the flower bush, he was almost scared sick. What the hell are you doing?

    Tian Shitong waved at her and shrugged with a wry smile. I am not the one who did it. You are the one who should ask what exactly Fu Jiu did.

    Fu Jiu? Why is he here again?

    Tang Xu felt that his brain, which had not had a good rest the entire night, instantly began to feel anoxic as it once again began to ache.

    I've already told him so clearly, but he still wants to pursue me so loudly. If I let Meng Xing Zhang know about this, will I still be alive?

    No, this kind of thing would definitely be known, right?

    Thinking of this, Tang Xu felt his scalp tingle. Really, I have to get someone to clean up this place as soon as possible.

    Just as she opened the door to her office, she bumped into Fu Jiu who had come here, and in his embrace was a large bouquet of roses, "Little Xu, you've finally come.

    Tang Xu's brows twitched as he smiled awkwardly at Fu Jiu, Ninth Young Master, can you get someone to clean up this place?

    Don't you like it?

    Fu Jiu looked at her worriedly. Do you think the smell isn't good enough?

    No, no!

    Tang Xu waved his hand with all his might as he bit his lip in embarrassment, It's just that I can't work anymore like this.

    So it was like this!

    Fu Jiu pursed his lips into a smile before kneeling down in front of her with the rose in one knee, Xiao Xu, I came today to tell you that I intend to marry you and have you become the company's mistress.

    What? Marry me?

    Tang Xu felt as if he had been struck by lightning: Is there a mistake? You already know that I'm together with Meng Xing Zhang, but you still haven't given up. Are you stupid or just want to compare notes with him?

    Fu Jiu stepped forward and gripped Tang Xu's hand tightly. He then flashed her a radiant smile. I know that I might not be as outstanding as Meng Xingzhang, but I'll do my best to make your every day happy.

    But I don't want it!

    Tang Xu felt that this wasn't something as simple as being happy, but rather, crying: Meng Xingzhang is already squeezing my finances, and now you're trying to force me again, am I still going to live?

    So it was this lively here.

    It's over!

    When Tang Xu heard Meng Xing's ghost-like voice coming from behind him, he felt his scalp go numb. He didn't know how to explain everything to him.

    Little Xu, don't be afraid!

    Fu Jiu placed his hand in front of her and nodded his head. He then turned around and wanted to fight against Meng Xingzhang.

    However, Meng Xingzhang simply pushed him aside as he approached Tang Xu, step by step, Do you enjoy this kind of life?

    Nope. He deliberately took a few steps back. Tang Xu, you don't want other colleagues to see the ambiguous look between her and Meng Xingzhang.

    Tang Xu's voice was so soft that it couldn't be heard, but Meng Xing Zhang was still able to get her answer. Satisfied, he pinched her chin and said, Don't forget what you have to do.

    Don't threaten her!

    Fu Jiu couldn't hold back his temper. He reached out his hand to grab Meng Xing Zhang's collar. You knew she wouldn't like this!

    Does this have anything to do with you?

    Meng Xing Zhang smirked as he glanced over at Tang Xu, She has nothing to do with me, as long as I'm happy. As for you, please get lost as far as, OK? "

    CHAPTER 207 - JUST A LITTLE LESSON

    Bastard!

    Fu Jiu extended his hand in an attempt to hit him, but this time, Meng Xing Zhang firmly gripped his fist. The same method, don't even think of using it on me a second time!

    The atmosphere in the office instantly changed. The smell of smoke beside Fu Jiu and Meng Xingzhang was so strong that no one dared to take the initiative to approach them, fearing that they would be burnt to ashes.

    Please, please don't start a fight, okay?

    Tang Xu glanced at Meng Xing Zhang, who was holding his fist, and begged. His anxious eyes made Meng Xing Zhang change his mind. He snorted lightly and let go of Fu Jiu.

    Fu Jiu adjusted his tie. Just as he was about to speak to Tang Xu again, Tang Xu quietly walked past him. Just like that, he took Meng Xing Zhang's arm and left the office.

    At that moment, Fu Jiu's heart ached. He couldn't understand why Tang Xu would leave him. Had he not done enough?

    Glancing dejectedly at the roses that had fallen to the side, Fu Jiu glanced at the other onlookers. Only after seeing them disperse did he go upstairs step by step. However, he knew how sad he was.

    Slow down.

    Tang Xu felt that Meng Xing Zhang's grip was getting tighter and tighter, and his steps were getting faster and faster. She couldn't take it anymore and wanted to open her mouth to argue with him.

    Ostrich cringed his neck, Tang Xu unconsciously swallowed his saliva, You?

    Get in!

    Without any more words, Meng Xingzhang stuffed her into the car and brought her out of the Windy Group.

    Although this was not the first time Tang Xu had seen him angry, this time, he felt very strange.

    Sitting next to Meng Xing Zhang, Tang Xu felt his entire body tremble. He couldn't help but hold his body with his hands, trying to get rid of this chillingly cold feeling.

    When she got off the car with Meng Xingzhang, she found out that he was actually bringing her to the swimming pool.

    Why, was he in such a good mood to learn to swim with himself?

    Tang Xu stealthily raised his head to glance at Meng Xing Zhang, but he felt that he wasn't planning on doing so.

    However, if that was not his plan, then why did he do it?

    Unable to figure it out, Tang Xu pursed his red lips slightly, intending to sit in a chair to the side when his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone.

    Tang Xu turned around and swept his gaze over Meng Xing Zhang. He didn't even have the time to say a single word before he was thrown into the pond.

    Cough, cough, cough!

    Tang Xu, who had suddenly fallen into the pool, panicked and wanted to grab hold of the edge and climb up, but his body just couldn't reach the pool's escalator. Instead, he drew closer and closer towards the middle of the pool.

    Meng Xing Zhang, who was squatting on the shore, pursed his lips into a smile. With a trace of ridicule in his eyes, he continued to admire Tang Xu's embarrassment and fear: Do you hate him? If you hate it, you can tell me.

    Although Tang Xu kept choking on the water, he was unwilling to say a single word: A cat crying like a mouse acting mercifully. So what if I hate you? Would that save me all this pain?

    Very good, your courage is commendable!

    Meng Xing Zhang jumped into the water and smiled at Tang Xu, I hope your courage can be maintained forever.

    What was he going to do?

    Tang Xu's heart leapt to his throat. He was afraid of not being able to grab anything at all.

    After grabbing onto Tang Xu's hand, Meng Xingzhang was still smiling. However, his palm suddenly pressed her head into the water.

    In that one second, Tang Xu felt as if his entire person was facing death. His small hands continuously slid under the water, but it was completely impossible for him to escape. He could only endure the unprecedented pressure and suffocating feeling.

    Just when she felt that she was about to lose her consciousness, Meng Xing Zhang suddenly let go of her hand, allowing her to take a deep breath.

    Cough, cough, cough.

    Tang Xu coughed with tears streaming down his face. He really wanted to open his mouth and start cursing.

    However, the current her couldn't speak at all. She could only cry.

    Seeing Meng Xing Zhang's hand about to touch his face, Tang Xu turned his head angrily. He didn't want him to touch her, but Meng Xing Zhang had once again pushed her into the water.

    If you kill me, why not kill me?

    Struggling desperately in the water, Tang Xu's entire heart trembled: Why are you letting me live like this? Do you really think that I have to be played by you in this way in your eyes?

    Hua!

    Once again, his head had been pulled out of the water by Meng Xing Zhang. Tang Xu felt that his vision had also been blurred by the water, and he was completely unable to see Meng Xing Zhang's face.

    Is it hard to bear?

    Meng Xing Zhang extended his hand to wipe away the water droplets on her face. With a cruel and bloodthirsty smile, he said, Your brain should be clear by now, right?

    What the hell do you mean?

    Tang Xu's chest rose and fell violently due to his anger. The droplets of water flowed down that white and tender skin, intoxicating people with their enchanting aura.

    It was a pity that Meng Xing Zhang didn't have the mood to talk about love with her. He only wanted to torture Tang Xu, You know what you should do, right? The next time Fu Jiu comes to harass you, what should you do?

    What does that have to do with me?

    Tang Xu uncomfortably wiped the water droplets on his hair as he glanced at Meng Xing Zhang grumpily, I can explain things to him clearly, but what does it have to do with me that he wants to like me?

    Tsk tsk tsk tsk!

    Meng Xing Zhang reached out his hand to stroke Tang Xu's forehead and nose, his eyes filled with ridicule. So you're saying that this is all my fault?

    Tang Xu didn't answer, but continued stubbornly not to start: Who knows if you took gunpowder or something, it's like this all the time, you think it's interesting, but I don't think so!

    Reaching out and stroking his smooth chin, Meng Xingzhang lifted his hand. Before it even touched Tang Xu, she had already sunk into the water.

    Lifting her up, Meng Xing Zhang frowned, What the hell are you doing?

    Didn't you want to suffocate me? If you don't want to do it, I'll do it myself!

    Hearing Tang Xu's words, Meng Xing Zhang's lips couldn't help but twitch: Looks like you're quite obedient. If so, why is it that you can't handle Fu Jiu's matters properly every time?

    Meng Xing Zhang stretched out his hand and pressed Tang Xu's head against his shoulder, Listen, Fu Jiu and you are from two completely different worlds. You absolutely can't have such thoughts, do you understand?

    Don't worry, even if you don't say anything, I won't go around harming others!

    A scourge?

    Meng Xing Zhang's heart ached slightly: You don't want to harm others, do you want to harm me? Tang Xu, your heart is truly ruthless! However, I won't show you any mercy like this.

    After slapping Tang Xu's face, Meng Xing Zhang said, word for word, "I know that you're innocent about this matter, but you also have a responsibility. In the future, just ignore these people. I don't like the smell of others on my slaves.

    Got it!

    Meng Xing Zhang stretched out his hand to pinch Tang Xu's pitiful smile, then softly said, This is just a lesson, don't offend him again in the future. Otherwise, you won't be able to afford it!

    CHAPTER 208 - MORE THAN A SLAP IN THE FACE IS OWED

    Trash! Weak!

    Zhu Zhu, vexed, reached out and grabbed her hair. Thinking that her negative thoughts about Tang Xu had been suppressed in the past few days, she found it impossible to vent that vexation in her heart.

    Walking back and forth on the spot, Zhu Zhu Zhu felt that instead of continuing to be passive, he should instead take the initiative to look for Tang Xu's parents.

    Since others can't be relied on, wouldn't it be better if I went to Zhao Tang Xu's parents' place to weaken Tang Xu's momentum in the name of caring for him?

    Zhu Zhu Zhu pursed her lips into a smile, feeling that she was really smart. From now on, I want to take control of my own fate. As for Ruan Siming, he could just roll as far away as he could.

    Wifey, don't put too much salt in it. It's better for Little Xu to eat lighter things.

    Tang Qing hurried into the kitchen and tapped Du Yulian's shoulder, who was preparing to take her daughter home for dinner. It's not good for your health to have a heavy taste.

    Why are you so long-winded?

    Du Yulian couldn't help but frown. She felt that ever since she lost her job, Tang Qing had always been subservient and submissive. No matter how she looked at it, she seemed weak.

    Tang Qing was startled, Am I wrong? You're not the one who asked your daughter to come back? If you don't cook properly, why did you challenge me?

    Pah!

    Du Yulian threw the kitchen knife aside and untied the apron around her waist in anger. Since you can say that, then go cook for yourself!

    Sadly hugging her arms, Du Yulian felt aggrieved from the bottom of her heart, You think I don't want to find a job? All sorts of things are happening to our daughter right now. How can I get out? How could he dare to go out?

    Apart from facing this pressure, Du Yulian felt that Tang Qing was the one who was always looking for trouble.

    Yes, she knew that everything was going badly, and the expenses of the family depended almost entirely on her daughter's salary. But, this was only temporary, after a period of time, she would definitely get better.

    Ding dong!

    After hearing the doorbell, Du Yulian and Tang Qing looked at each other and suddenly put all of the newspaper and random stuff in the trash can.

    Open the door!

    Du Yulian picked up a tissue and wiped her greasy hands. Her lips curved into a smile: Darling has finally returned home!

    Who knew that the one who came in was not the daughter they had been yearning for day and night. This caused the old couple to be completely stunned, and they just stood there without moving at all.

    Seeing their expressions, Zhu Zhu Zhu could roughly guess what they were thinking: What, isn't it that Tang Xu and the rest of you are very disappointed? Don't worry, the main event is yet to come!

    Excuse me, who are you?

    Hearing Du Yulian's question, Zhu Zhu did not immediately flare up. Instead, she politely smiled at the two of them and greeted them, Greetings Uncle and Aunt. I'm Tang Xu's friend Zhu Zhu.

    So you're Xu'er's friend.

    Tang Qing and Du Yulian immediately invited Zhu Zhu in and poured her a cup of tea, You should drink some tea. The dishes will be ready in a moment, you should stay and eat.

    No need!

    Zhu Zhu Zhu lightly waved her slender fingers as she said, I've come here because there are some things I wish you to know.

    This was not a simple matter!

    Du Yulian felt that although she was Tang Xu's friend on the surface, her hostility was quite obvious.

    Seeing that Tang Xu's parents were staring at her, Zhu Zhu Zhu did not intend
