Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shang Qingmo seemed to have read her mind. Without giving her a chance to speak, she dragged her upstairs.
How could Shang Qiqi let go of Han Jichi and leave just like that? She tried her best to stop, and even her body was pushed back in Shang Qingmo’s arms. Shang Qingmo’s expression did not change as she dragged her without moving.
“Let go of me!” She was furious and growled at Shang Qingmo.
Shang Qingmo didn’t say anything and led her upstairs with a straight face.
Shang Qiqi grabbed the railing beside her, forcing Shang Qingmo to stop.
!!She was panting from exhaustion, but she still questioned, “Why did you do that?”
Shang Qing looked at her with dark eyes. “Shang Qiqi, get this straight. He provoked me first.”
“I know very well!” Shang Qiqi said immediately. “I’m his female companion tonight. You… you obviously didn’t save him any face!”
“Why should I give him face?”
“Have you ever thought about the consequences of your actions tonight?!” Shang Qiqi’s knuckles on the railing were pale and her voice was trembling.
“Look at the gazes of those people downstairs. Do you know what they’re thinking now? Aren’t you afraid that rumors will spread?”
Hearing this, Shang Qingmo turned her head slightly and glanced downstairs.
In the huge banquet hall, the lights were bright and the guests were dressed in suits.
At this moment, everyone was looking at them in shock, doubt, or inquiry.
His eyes narrowed and he suddenly gave a low laugh.
He turned to look at her. The smile on his face sent a chill down Shang Qiqi’s spine.
She felt the arm around her waist exerting more force as it inched closer to her.
Shang Qiqi’s eyes widened and her body involuntarily leaned towards the railing.
With the distance between the two of them, it was impossible to explain even if they were a hundred meters apart.
“What… are you doing?”
“I’m suddenly thinking…” Shang Qingmo stared at her flustered face and said in a low voice,” Why don’t we let them have their wish and respond to the drama they’re curious and looking forward to? ”
Shang Qiqi was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. “Are you crazy?”
There were already people whispering downstairs, questioning their relationship.
She subconsciously looked at Han Jichi.
If Shang Qingmo really wanted to do something, where would Han Jichi put his face?
Shang Qingmo was angered by her actions.
Now, the first thing she thought of was that she was worried about Han Jichi.
He suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her head back.
There was a low gasp from downstairs.
Shang Qiqi’s heart tightened. She pushed Shang Qingmo away impulsively and ran upstairs.
At this moment, she didn’t know what to do. She only knew that staying away from Shang Qingmo was the most important.
She didn’t know why he suddenly wanted to do such a thing.
If it was four years ago, she might not have had so many worries. She might even have accepted it happily.
But it was different now.
He had a fiancée and she had a boyfriend.
More importantly, she no longer had any feelings for him.
She didn’t want to deny the results of her four years of absence.
“Sister Yaoyao!”
She couldn’t stop everyone’s emotions now. She couldn’t care less about Shang Qingmo’s reaction and rushed upstairs.
Seeing that there was no good show, Chi Yaoyao was a little disappointed, but she still gave Shang Qiqi a big hug.
“I’ve missed you so much all these years! You’re really amazing. There’s no news of you at all!”
Shang Qiqi quickly apologized, “I’m sorry…”
Chi Yaoyao snorted. “You can’t just apologize. You don’t know that after you left, we were tortured by your uncle…”
“Huh?”
Chi Yaoyao smacked the top of her head. “Isn’t it because I’m looking for you?”
Shang Qiqi was surprised.
“Grandpa Shang has already informed us in advance, but he’s really petty…”
At this moment, Shang Qingmo had already walked over with a cold face. “Don’t you know how to avoid me when you badmouth others?”
Chi Yaoyao held Shang Qiqi’s arm. “Since you know that I’m talking bad about you, why don’t you take the initiative to avoid me?”
Shang Qiqi admired Chi Yaoyao. After all these years, she was still the same.
Shang Qingmo glanced at her coldly. Chi Yaoyao didn’t even look at him as she led Qiqi to the open VIP area.
“Come, tell us about your life for the past few years…”
Ye Qingqiu straightened her body and glanced at the banquet hall that was still filled with discussions. Her lips curled up slightly and her gaze swept past Shang Qingmo before landing on Shang Qiqi.
“Your male companion… looks quite pitiful.”
Shang Qiqi paused and scanned the people around her before saying hesitantly, “Can I call him up?”
“Of course you can!”
“Of course…”
“Sure…”
“I can’t.”
Amidst the approval, a cold voice sounded.
It was obvious who it was.
Shang Qiqi ignored the voice and walked out of the VIP area.
Shang Qingmo’s face darkened and his eyes burned with anger.
The others stared at his expression with interest.
Then, she saw the silent man stand up abruptly.
*
Shang Qiqi lifted her skirt and walked downstairs. “Ji Chi!”
Just as she was about to walk down the stairs, Shang Qiqi called out to Han Jichi softly.
She thought that tonight’s filming would end here. Unexpectedly, the female lead who had just rushed upstairs suddenly ran down.
Han Jichi was surrounded by people chatting when she heard a voice.
“Why did you come down so quickly?”
Shang Qiqi smiled and walked towards him. “Come with me. They’re all waiting for me to introduce you to them!”
However, Han Jiju’s face suddenly darkened. Shang Qiqi watched in confusion as he suddenly reached out to her. She took a step forward, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
She turned her head in surprise and saw a furious Shang Qingmo.
Her heart skipped a beat.
“Qiqi…” Han Jichi called out softly. Shang Qingmo had already grabbed Shang Qiqi’s waist and forcefully brought her away.
She exuded a murderous aura.
The banquet hall was in chaos.
The same thing happened one after another. Even if they didn’t want to suspect, they had to.
It wasn’t a secret that Shang Qingmo had gone to look for her niece.
A few years ago, there were rumors about this uncle and nephew.
Although Shang Qingmo’s sudden engagement was a little strange and had silenced some people, her departure made people suspicious.
However, as time passed, the rumors about this uncle and nephew naturally stopped.
Tonight, it was obvious that this matter had not passed and was brewing.
It seemed that there was a new story in Ping Cheng City, which had just calmed down recently.
*
Shang Qiqi was brought out of the banquet hall. When she entered the elevator, she was still shocked and angry.
She struggled with all her might.
Even though she was exhausted, she couldn’t free herself from Shang Qingmo’s embrace.
Recalling what had happened in front of everyone, Shang Qiqi suddenly felt powerless and her eyes reddened.
“What do you want to do?!” she growled. Her scalp couldn’t help but tense and tingle. She had a vague answer in her heart, but it was so shocking that she didn’t even dare to think about it.
But putting everything aside, she only felt a lump of cotton in her chest.
“Why… can’t I get along with Han Ji?”
Thinking that he was destined to receive guidance tonight, Shang Qiqi’s heart couldn’t help but ache. The embarrassment he had suffered tonight was all because of her.
Shang Qiqi didn’t notice the veins on Shang Qingmo’s forehead when she mentioned Han Jiji. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said shakily, “How did he provoke you? Why do you have to embarrass him…”
Bang! Shang Qiqi was suddenly pressed against the wall of the elevator.
She cried out in pain as the man’s tall and broad body suddenly pressed down on her.
Her eyes widened in anger as he pressed his lips against hers.
Shang Qiqi held her breath and her eyes widened.
The light that could not condense could not see the man’s expression, but she could clearly feel his anger from his fierce kiss.
Her teeth were pried open and she marched straight in, conquering the city…
His body was pressed tightly against hers, and his strong arms were wrapped tightly around her waist, preventing her from struggling.
Shang Qingmo’s kiss seemed to be venting. He bit her lips a few times and tore at her.
He was angry, but he still thought of her sudden kiss at the airport four years ago.
That touch woke him up from countless nights in the past four years.
She left in a carefree manner. She had everything…
Selfish woman.
Shang Qingmo didn’t let her off until the elevator stopped.
However, he didn’t give her any chance to speak. He pulled her out of the elevator and stuffed her into his car.
Shang Qiqi only regained her senses when the car left the underground parking lot.
She instinctively pulled the seatbelt and fastened it. Thinking of what had just happened, she closed her eyes tightly.
She panicked and couldn’t find anything to cling to.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and gripped the seatbelt tightly. Her voice was as calm as possible, but it was still trembling.
“Uncle, what are you doing?”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t know!” Shang Qiqi couldn’t stand his reckless behavior. She growled angrily, “Why? What position do you have for your fiancée? How do you want me to face Han Jichi…”
“Shut up!” The name Han Jichi was like a bomb without a fuse. “Don’t mention him again!”
Shang Qingmo’s words seemed to have been crushed by her teeth tens of thousands of times. “You don’t have to face him again! You’d better give up!”
Silence filled the car.
After some time, the car stopped abruptly.
Shang Qiqi turned her head and looked at the familiar outline of the villa outside. Anger rose in her chest.
She didn’t budge.
In the end, Shang Qingmo carried her out of the car and walked in.
“Let go of me! I’m not going in!”
She struggled desperately, even though she had experienced his strong imprisonment too many times tonight.
But other than struggling and resisting, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent.
However, the man carried her steadily into the villa. Under the surprised gazes of the servants, he carried her upstairs to her previous room.
The room was clean, no different from when she left.
She thought that the journey was enough to calm him down, but when he placed her on the bed and bent down to kiss her again, her panic reached its peak.
What scared her more than the elevator was the current location and the fact that he had already reached into her shirt. His warm palm pressed against the skin of her waist and tightened its grip.
“Uncle…” Her voice was filled with fear.
“Okay.” Shang Qingmo responded to her, but her fingertips and tongue seemed to spark without any hesitation.
Shang Qiqi grabbed his hand nervously, but he held it by her side.
He finally stopped what he was doing and lowered his gaze to stare at her. The emotions in his eyes frightened her.
“Don’t you like me? Isn’t it good for us to be together?”
“No…” Shang Qiqi shook her head. “No! Let go of me!”
Shang Qingmo ignored her and slid her hand behind her back to pull the chain on her dress.
“There’s nothing bad about it. There’s nothing important about us being together all the time.”
He still didn’t want to remember how she felt when she ran away from him.
Panic, helplessness, frustration, and regret tormented him every moment.
He had never thought that she would leave him.
He had always felt that she should stay by his side obediently.
The uncle-nephew relationship was the only link between them.
That was why he was especially furious when she did such a thing and wanted to break this bond.
She wanted to sever the only connection between them.
But she couldn’t let this matter rest so easily.
She could only stay by his side.
She wanted to maintain this uncle-nephew relationship, but he didn’t want to.
This relationship couldn’t allow them to be together forever. She wanted to leave and even marry Han Jichi. Sooner or later, she would leave him to have children with another man and spend the rest of her life with him.
How could he?
“Uncle… Uncle, we can’t…”
Shang Qiqi was no match for this man.
Tears streamed down her face.
“Why?” Shang Qingmo kissed the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked her softly, “Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?”
“I don’t want it now.”
Shang Qingmo seemed determined to be gentle to her. Even though the veins on his forehead showed his anger, he still said gently, “That won’t do. I want it.”
“Little Uncle, we can’t… Can you let me off?”
Shang Qingmo kissed her cheek, chin, and neck. “No.”
Shang Qiqi closed her eyes in despair. “Have you ever thought about what I’m doing? Don’t forget that you have a fiancée now. What are you doing to me?”
This sentence seemed to be effective.
As expected, Shang Qingmo stopped.
Shang Qiqi opened her eyes slowly and hurriedly retreated to the bed with her messy dress. Tears streamed down her face.
Shang Qingmo sat up on the bed with one leg bent. Her dark gaze landed outside the window.
Shang Qiqi looked at him nervously, hoping that Shang Qingmo would regain her rationality.
He was too impulsive just now. As long as he calmed down…
“I can…” After a long silence, Shang Qiqi said softly,” I can pretend that nothing happened tonight… ”
Shang Qingmo, who had been silent, suddenly turned to look at her. His dark eyes were filled with a dark and cold light.
After a long while, he slowly stood up from the bed and seemed to have calmed down completely.
However, what he said next did not make Shang Qiqi relax.
“I’ll handle this matter.”
With that, he left.
When the door closed, Shang Qiqi was still in a daze.
So, what did he mean by that?
How was he going to handle this?
She thought for a long time and felt that it was impossible.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door and the servant’s voice sounded.
“Miss.”
Seeing how messy she was, Shang Qiqi hurriedly opened the wardrobe and pulled out a nightgown that she had left here a few years ago before opening the door.
The servant didn’t dare to look up immediately. It was only when she saw from the corner of her eye that she seemed to have changed her clothes that she looked up and handed the tray to her.
“This is the supper that Master ordered me to make for you.”
Shang Qiqi did not have dinner tonight.
There was a bowl of steaming beef noodles on the tray. There were two eggs and many side dishes.
This was her favorite food.
There had always been many ingredients in the noodle shops around the school. There was not much meat, but there were plenty of various dishes. She had always coveted them.
Once, she was caught stealing food and she insisted on eating it. He cooked for her personally.
Back then, when she was instructing him on what to add in the noodle shop, although he was very impatient, he added them all for her.
Her eyes reddened and some memories seemed to have been embedded in her genes. No matter how much time had passed, she would inadvertently recall them.
“Thank you.”
She took the tray and the servant smiled. “Mr Shang cooked it himself.”
Shang Qiqi was not surprised.
Only he knew how to eat.
After dinner, Shang Qiqi wanted to send the tray downstairs. However, the moment she opened the door, she saw a servant guarding the door.
“I’ll do it.” The servant quickly took it. “Miss, Master wants you to finish your meal and rest early.”
Shang Qiqi paused. “…Can you lend me your phone? I want to turn it on.”
The servant quickly lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Miss. I don’t have a phone.”
Shang Qiqi frowned. “Then help me borrow my uncle’s.”
“Mr Shang… isn’t home.”
Shang Qiqi felt that something was amiss. She turned around and changed into a simple set of clothes. When she opened the door, there was still someone guarding it.
From a servant to two bodyguards in black.
When he saw her, he reached out to stop her.
Shang Qiqi’s face darkened. “I want to go home.”
The bodyguard said expressionlessly, “Master said this is your home.”
By now, no matter how stupid Shang Qiqi was, she knew.
She was locked up by Shang Qingmo.
“Where’s my uncle?”
“Master is busy. He wants you to rest early.”
The bodyguard’s attitude was stiff and Shang Qiqi knew that there was nothing she could do.
Besides, she had already gone through too much tonight.
She returned to her room. She didn’t have a phone or any equipment to communicate or go online. She lay on the bed uneasily. She couldn’t think of what the usually calm and steady Shang Qingmo would do.
It wasn’t until the next day when she heard the commotion outside that she opened her eyes.
“Where’s Qiqi?! Where did you take her?!”
Shang Yekun’s exasperated voice sounded from outside the window. She jolted awake and jumped off the bed.
Opening the window, she saw the old man entering the villa angrily.
She quickly turned around and opened the door to go downstairs, but was stopped.
Shang Qiqi frowned deeply. “Can’t I just go downstairs?”
The bodyguard said seriously, “It’s not convenient for you to go downstairs now.”
“The person downstairs is my grandfather.”
“Miss, let’s wait a little longer.”
*
Downstairs, as soon as Old Master Shang entered the house, his cane landed on the side of Shang Qingmo’s neck.
“Old Master!” The old butler was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurried forward and grabbed his arm.
Shang Yekun was so angry that he couldn’t stand steadily. With one hand on his walking stick and the other pointing at Shang Qingmo, his lips trembled.
“Call off the engagement? Are you… crazy?!”
