The manâs voice was loud. At the same time, a few people were walking towards the washroom. The two drunkards obviously didnât want to cause any trouble, so they left while cursing.
Just as the man turned around and was about to leave, Xin Qing immediately went forward and wanted to thank him. However, when the man turned around, Xin Qingâs pupils suddenly constricted, and she blurted out: âChen Ming!â
Chen Ming was leaving as he saw that nothing serious had happened, but at this moment he heard the girl called his name. After staring at her face for a long time, the surprise in his eyes grew as he exclaimed, âXiaoâŠXiaoqing!? â
Young Master Shen looked at Ying Qingcang who had been absent-minded all night. He couldnât help but to expose him. âIs it said that the competitionâs over and Little Qingqing won the first place. Then what are you worried about now? â
Seriously, since you were so worried about her, why didnât you go to the spot to watch?
âWho said Iâm worried?â Ying Qingcang glared at him.
Fair enough. If you were not worried, why didnât you go back home and you let me stay at the company with you. Just as Young Master Shen wanted to say something, his phone rang.
âSpeak.â
âWhat? Did I told you you need to keep an eye on her? â
âWhat about now?â
âAlright, tell me the address.â
Ying Qingcang kept staring at him. Young Master Shen chuckled twice: âMy subordinates said ⊠saidâŠâ
âSaid what?â Ying Qingcang frowned.
âThey said that Little Qingqing was molested by two drunken thugs when they were playing in KTV.â
Ying Qingcang raised an ashtray at once and threw it at Young Master Shen: âDid you send some of your subordinates to protect her? Is this how you protect her? â
âYou said that we shouldnât let her know she was followed, so my subordinates could only watch her from afar. Donât worry, itâs fine. They just took advantage of her by words. She was saved when my subordinates were about to save her. â Young Master Shen caught the ashtray agilely, âItâs really nothing. She is going back to play now.â
But before he finished speaking, Ying Qingcang had already picked up his jacket and walked out.
âWhere are you going?â
Ying Qingcang turned his head, âCome on, you drive the car.â
Young Master Shen snickered as he drove. He seemed to have forgotten to mention that Xin Qing and the person who saved her seemed to know each other âŠ
At the same time, Xin Qing was introducing Chen Ming to Zhang Mi and Shi Qianqian.
âHeâs Chen Ming. When I was young, he was the elder brother from neighbor. He took good care of me.â
Zhang Mi tilted her head and laughed, âI know! Your childhood sweetheart! â
âHaha!â Chen Ming smiled as he greeted them. âWhen I was a kid, I did say that I would marry Xiaoqing in the future.â
Seeing Xin Qing was smiling without saying a word, Shi Qianqian pursed her lips and said: âItâs good to be kids who dared to say anything.â
âChen Ming took rather good care of me. At that time, we lived in a big courtyard. If other child bullied me, Chen Ming would help me to beat him!â Xin Qing patted Chen Mingâs shoulder, âBoth of us moved later. At the beginning, we still had contact with each other, and then he went abroad to study. It had been five or six years since we last met.â
âI wonât leave this time, so weâll have plenty of time to meet!â Chen Ming smiled and helped her to sit. Shi Qianqian squinted her eyes but didnât say anything. Zhang Mi was already drunk and started to sing and dance.
Xin Qing thought for a while, âItâs late, and Mimi canât drink anymore. Letâs go back.â
âI donât want to go back. Iâm not drunk. I can still drink!â Zhang Mi held onto the sofa and didnât want to go. It was Chen Ming who carried her out. Seeing that there was actually a car to pick Xin Qing up, he frowned, but did not say anything. He placed Zhang Mi in the car and waited for Shi Qianqian to get in. Then he spoke to Xin Qing.
âHow about I send you back? Itâs been a long time since we last met. Have a chat with me?â Xin Qing thought it was good. So, she let Ah Che send Zhang Mi and Shi Qianqian back home, and she would go back by herself. Ah Che drew a long face, not daring to say anything. Before he drove, he suddenly remembered that the Young Master would be here in a minute. He tried to tell Xin Qing through the window, but she could not hear at all because Zhang Mi kept shouting.
There was a cafe downstairs with a good environment. Chen Ming suggested they go inside and take a seat. Xin Qing naturally had no objections. She was truly happy to see Chen Ming. This was the memory of her childhood, and also represented her carefree youth life she used to have.
They sat next to the window. Outside the window, it was cold after snowing. The fragrance of coffee wafted up within the window, warming them. The two recalled their memories of their old time, and the happy childhood memories caused Xin Qingâs lips to blossom into the most beautiful smile. However, this smile was offending to someoneâs eyes.
âWho is that man?â Ying Qingcang stood at the roadside, looking at the smiling woman behind the window. His heart unceasingly clamored. He had never seen Xin Qing smile like this before. She smiled from the bottom of her heart. With her smiling face, she put down her guard in front of another man âŠ
Seeing his unfriendly face, Young Master Shen didnât dare to get out of the car. âIt seems to be the man who helped her, and he is said to be her old friend.â
âOld friend?â Ying Qingcang sneered, âAn old friend can make her so happy, as if sheâs suffering so much at ordinary times.â
You actually made her suffer a lot. At this moment, Young Master Shen did not dare to say this, for the cold air around Ying Qingcangâs body was even thicker than the snow on the ground.
When Xin Qing and Chen Ming walked out from the cafe, she almost fell because the steps were too slippery. Chen Mingâs hands quickly supported her, causing Xin Qing to lean into his embrace. She raised her head with a smile and said thanks.
This obtrusive scene made Ying Qingcangâs last bit of calmness shatter. He took two steps forward and coldly spoke: âIs this the reason why you came back late?â
Xin Qing suddenly raised her head and saw Ying Qingcang standing in the foot of the stairs with a face full of anger. She was flurried in her heart for no reason. Chen Ming noticed that there was something wrong with her. He carefully sized Ying Qingcang up, then he politely supported Xin Qing when walking over to greet him.
âHello, are you Xiaoqingâs friend?â
Xiaoqing?⊠Ying Qingcang clenched his teeth. This damned woman. Seeing that Xin Qingâs arm was still in Chen Mingâs hand, he felt his private property was tainted, and he used all his strength to pull her over.
âDid you forget what I said?â
Xin Qing rubbed her arm that was in pain, and said snappily: âYou said so many words, how could I know which one youâre referring to.â
âIt seems that I have been too tolerant recently. That is why you have forgotten your identity.â Ying Qingcang stared at her coldly.
Xin Qingâs face turned pale as she looked at Chen Ming frantically. If Chen Ming knew about her current situation, how could she face her old friend?
However, her expression in the eyes of the two men had two completely different meanings.
Ying Qingcang became even more furious. You were so afraid of letting him know our relationship. Did you really care about this man?
Chen Ming, on the other hand, was thinking about the relationship between Xin Qing and Ying Qingcang. Xin Qing seemed not care about this man. So, they should not be a couple.
âWe can contact each other another day.â Xin Qing looked at Chen Ming apologetically, âIâll treat you for a meal next time.â
Chen Ming looked at her, then looked at Ying Qingcang who had a cold face, revealed a smile and nodded: âAlright, Iâll be waiting.â
Ying Qingcangâs gaze was like a blade and silently slashed over. Chen Ming pretended that he could not see it. He waved his hand to Xin Qing and left.
âLittle Qingqing, come on, get in the car, get in the car. Itâs so cold outside. Letâs talk when we get back!â Young Master Shen who had been sneakily hiding inside the car immediately got off and opened the car door for Xin Qing. He nudged Ying Qingcang who snorted coldly and got on the car.
Along the way, Young Master Shen did his best to break the ice. However, Ying Qingcang had a straight face and Xin Qing lowered her head. None of them talked to him. After they arrived at Yingâs house, he left them alone and slipped away. He secretly spoke to Ying Qingcang before he left.
âMake it clear. No misunderstanding.â
Ying Qingcang looked at Xin Qing who was directly walking upstairs, âStop.â
Xin Qing stopped and refused to look back. Ying Qingcang approached her step by step until he reached her. Standing on the stairs, he looked down at her: âWhat will you say?â
âI have nothing to say.â Xin Qing did not look at him.
Ying Qingcangâs furious voice came from above: âIt is your business to let the man get close to you. But now your body is mine, and I have said you shouldnât let any other man touch you, or I will feel disgusted. But you actually let him touch you. â
âIâm sorry, Iâll pay attention to that next time.â Xin Qingâs voice was a little stuffy, causing his heart to tremble: âRaise your head.â
Xin Qing shook her head and covered her mouth with one hand.
Ying Qingcang pinched her chin and forced her to raise her head to look at him. However, he saw a pair of eyes that were filled with tears. Her lips which was tightly bitten had a distinct wound on them. There was a trace of blood red.
âRelease you lips, donât bite.â Ying Qingcang frowned, but Xin Qing still bit her lips and looked at him. Seeing that the blood red was getting more obvious, Ying Qingcang became anxious and stuffed his finger into Xin Qingâs mouth.
Xin Qing stared at him, using all her strength to push his finger out. The numbing feeling at Ying Qingcangâs fingertip made his body tighten. He rubbed Xin Qingâs teeth as he spoke in a low voice.
âTell me, who is that man?â
Xin Qing pushed him away, âYou have already said, a man. â She wiped her lips, and the taste of blood filled her mouth.
âDonât make me angry.â Ying Qingcang wanted to reach out to grab her, but Xin Qing ran up and said, âIt doesnât matter who he is, you have seen it, right? You have already come to a conclusion. â She opened the door and shouted at Ying Qingcang, âThis should have been the most memorable night in my life. But because of you, it becomes a memory I will never want to recall. â
With a loud bang, Ying Qingcang was awakened from his stupor by Xin Qingâs roar.
What did she mean? Because of that man, it was her most beautiful night? However, his existence was a nightmare that she didnât even want to remember?
The anger in his heart burned like a fire as it swept across Ying Qingcangâs internal organs. He angrily went there and tried to open the door, but found that the door was locked from the inside. He kicked open the door and rushed in. Xin Qing was lying on the bed and crying. Seeing Ying Qingcang, she was frightened. She conveniently picked up the phone and wanted to call Shi Qianqian for help.
âYou want to ask help for that man?â Ying Qingcang hit her phone to the ground and stomped on it, âDonât think about being with him for the rest of your life.â
âI⊠I donât âŠâ Xin Qing was scared. She wanted to explain, but Ying Qingcang reached out and pushed her down. Xin Qing bounced on the bed a few times, trying to stand up. Ying Qingcang caught her.
âSince you say it is a nightmare you donât want to remember, then Iâll make you never forget this night.â
