âI feel that you and Boss Qin are very harmonious.â Xiao Li and Boss Qin seemed to fit each other very well.
Harmonious?
They were only one step away from killing each other. How could our female protagonist see they were in harmony?
Is this why I canât be a female protagonist?
Ming Shu shook her head. âI donât like him.â
Qin Che didnât like her, either.
She could see the seriousness on Qin Cheâs face, but no real heart.
âOh.â Jiang Duo sounded a bit disappointed as she murmured, âIn fact, you and Boss Qin are very well-matched. You two standing together, you seem like a couple of heavenly creation. Itâs enviable. And heâs also your brother, thatâs like so cuteâŚâ
Wake up my lady female protagonist! What are you thinking about all day long!
She imagined a scene of her and Qin Che at their wedding ceremony and fighting against each other⌠Ming Shu was startled by her thoughts and quickly shook the picture out of her mind as well as the goose bumps.
He and I?
Thatâs crazy.
She didnât dare imagine further.
âŚ
Jiang Duo said she wanted to be alone for a while, so Ming Shu went downstairs to have some food.
After mocking some sarcastic colleagues, Qin Che turned around and spotted Ming Shu at a glance, who was sitting in the rest area and kept shoving food into her mouth like a hamster.
There was a man standing beside her, who seemed to be talking to her. Ming Shu didnât respond at all, but as the man continued talking he reached out to approach Ming Shu.
Seeing this, Qin Che ignored another boss coming over to be mocked and went straight to Ming Shu. But before he got any closer, Ming Shu suddenly got up and caught the man in an overarm throw. The man fell to the floor.
It made a big noise and attracted everyoneâs attention.
After a while, the crowd exclaimed loudly.
âIsnât that Mister He? Chut , that woman is finished, she dared to beat Mister He.â
âWe have a good show today.â
âThat girl looks a bit familiarâŚâ
Most of the onlookers were young people. They loved gossip and kept whispering to each other.
Ming Shu was standing sideways, not showing her face. Thus, those who had seen her before only felt she was a bit familiar.
âHe was being indecent.â Ming Shu calmly sorted out her clothes and turned to smile at the coming staff. âMay I trouble you to throw him out?â
The staff members were frozen in place. These people here today were all respectable big potatoes, how did they dare to throw anyone out.
Let alone the famous dandy Mister He in the circle right now.
âIsnât that Boss Qinâs girlfriend?â As Ming Shu showed her full face, someone immediately whispered to his companions, âIs she?â
âYou should be right. I saw Boss Qin with her last time.â
âThis is Boss Qinâs girlfriend? So beautiful. Is she a lady of another rich family?â
âI donât know. We havenât seen her in the circle. But look at her temperament, a girl that could attract the young master of the Qin family must not be a nobody.â
âWell well, this is quite a good show.â
Many people started to enjoy the show and gloated.
âMister He, are you okay?â Someone stepped forward to help the man up.
Mister He was suddenly attacked like this and couldnât figure out what just happened. His head became dizzy, ears squeaking. So he didnât hear the discussion behind at hall.
After quite a while, he came to himself and pointed to Ming Shu, roaring, âCrazy bitch! I gave you some face yet you dared to beat me! You were just pretending. Youâll be thrown out!â
Ming Shu tilted her head. âHow many faces do you have that you can just give one of them away?â
Puâ
Some onlookers couldnât help but laugh aloud. He Yuxuan glared in the direction the laughter was coming from, and the laughter weakened.
âDamn bitch, youâllâŚâ
âAh!â He Yuxuan was once again thrown to the ground by Ming Shu.
âNext time you interrupt my eating again, itâll not be as simple as this.â Ming Shu looked down at He Yuxuan.
His embarrassed appearance was now reflected in her smiling eyes.
He Yuxuan got extremely irritated. He pulled himself up and roared in a broken voice, âWhat are you doing! Throw this crazy woman out! Throw her out!â
âHe Yuxuan, who are you saying to throw out?â
A sarcastic voice sounded from beside him. The entire place suddenly quieted down as if someone had pressed the pause button.
He Yuxuan stiffened and turned his head mechanically. A few steps away, a handsome but icy man was standing with a pair of firm eyes, staring at him. A sense of invisible oppression gradually spread in the air.
He Yuxuan widened his eyes slightly, and stuttered, âC⌠cousin.â
âWho are you saying to throw out?â Qin Che repeated the question.
He Yuxuan knew that his cousin usually wouldnât care much about his business, so he pointed to Ming Shu and reported confidently, âShe beat me.â
Qin Che slowly walked to stand next to Ming Shu. âShe beat you and thatâs your honor, do you have any questions?â
He Yuxuan seemed to have heard something unbelievable.
Qin Che rarely meddled in his business. Even when he sometimes bullying others, Qin Che would at most mock at him with a few words.
But todayâŚ
This woman⌠She seemed a bit familiar.
âCousin, sheâŚâ He Yuxuan was reminded of the recent rumors and swallowed his following words. Then he thought of the photo his father had shown him and started to realize Ming Shuâs identity. âOh, she is Cousinâs girlfriend, weâre one family. It was my fault just nowâŚâ
He Yuxuan quickly apologized and admitted it was his fault.
As everyone knew, no matter how arrogant He Yuxuan was, he had to hide his claws in front of Qin Che.
âGet lost.â Qin Che didnât want to see He Yuxuan.
âWell, okay, Cousin, Iâm leaving.â He Yuxuan was relieved and hurriedly stepped to one side. But he shouted at the crowd immediately, âWhat are you looking at! Move.â
The crowd scattered.
Ming Shu gave an unclear look at Qin Che, which made Qin Che feel a bit awkward.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â Qin Che didnât understand, so he asked.
Ming Shu answered weirdly, âThank you, Brother and boyfriend, for speaking up.â
Qin Che felt there was something else in her words, but it didnât prevent him from picking up the topic. âWhat about offering yourself as a thank you gift?â
âGet away!â
ââŚâ
âŚ
The engagement banquet officially began.
Nan Youyou wore a white gauzy dress and stood with Shen Yuanzhao, accepting the blessings and envy of everyone.
[Guest, go save the female protagonist.] The Harmony System suddenly alerted her.
What?
The Harmony System hadnât alerted her like this before.
[Save the female protagonist and foil Nan Youyouâs plan so that you can get Hatred Points.] The Harmony System explained immediately.
Ming Shu looked around and didnât find Jiang Duo. That loyal male supporting role was looking at the stage absently.
âWhere are you going?â
As Ming Shu was about to leave, Qin Che grabbed her immediately.
âRestroom.â
Qin Che glanced at her. He didnât feel right deep down but also didnât stop her.
There were so many rooms upstairs, and it took Ming Shu quite a while to find a room which was guarded by two people.
Seeing Ming Shu coming over, the two men straightened at once. But Ming Shu walked casually and looked harmless and unprepared, and this made them less alert in their hearts.
Just as she passed, Ming Shu suddenly lifted her leg to kick strongly at the nearest person. The other man reacted very quickly, and he took out the electric baton on his waist, waving it toward Ming Shu.
Ming Shu blocked the attack with one hand, then dodged to one side. She grabbed the manâs hand and led the electric baton hit the other manâs neck. The manâs eyes immediately rolled and he fell to the ground.
Before the other person could respond, he felt a darkness covering his eyes. Then he also fell to the ground. Done!
Ming Shu dusted off her hands and kicked away the âcorpsesâ in the way. She tried to open the door, but it was locked from the inside.
Nothing could be heard from the outside.
