After going downstairs, Su Jin realized that his sister, who usually went to bed at this time, was watching TV downstairs.
No, it couldn't be said that she was watching TV.
At this moment, Su Xiaoqi was hugging a pillow and sitting on the sofa. The TV in front of her was turned on, but it didn't make any sound. There was an image playing on the TV, but she wasn't watching it at all. She seemed to be in a daze.
Su Jin felt that it was very strange. He took a bottle of water and walked over. Before sitting on the sofa, he reached out and rubbed Su Xiaoqi's head. "Why aren't you sleeping at night? Why are you in a daze here?"
Su Xiaoqi immediately came back to her senses.
Then, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's fine, it's fine. I was just a little sleepy just now. By the way, brother, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I just took care of some work," Su Jin gulped down half a bottle of water before replying in a deep voice.
"Brother, then you should sit down and rest for a while. It's time for me to go upstairs and rest too. I'm so sleepy now." Su Xiaoqi stood up, yawned, and prepared to leave.
Su Jin initially wanted to ask his sister what she was thinking about here. However, seeing that his sister was unwilling to talk about it now, he did not feel right to ask further. He then nodded and said, "Go ahead. I'll turn off the TV later."
Upon hearing that, Su Xiaoqi nodded and ran upstairs hurriedly.
Downstairs, Su Jin closed his eyes and rested for a while.
After finishing the remaining half of the bottle of water, he stood up and turned off the TV. Then, he went upstairs and returned to his room.
...
After running upstairs hurriedly, Su Xiaoqi pushed open the door and walked in. She closed the door and then remembered to turn on the lights.
However, just as she closed the door, a pair of big hands suddenly emerged from the darkness. The other party had one hand around her waist and the other hand was covering her mouth and nose.
She was shocked and subconsciously wanted to scream for help.
However, her mouth was covered by a hand. How could she scream for help?
Moreover, this person was very strong. He held her with one hand and she could not move at all. It was so scary.
Su Xiaoqi instantly felt a chill all over her body. She was extremely afraid.
Who knew that at this moment, the man who was holding her moved her to the bedside. Then, he said, "Xiaoqi, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just want to talk to you alone. Come, let's sit by the bedside and talk."
Hearing this familiar voice, Su Xiaoqi knew who the man who was hugging her in the dark was.
Damn, this guy was really thick-skinned.
Not only did he shamelessly go ashore and ask to stay, but now he was secretly hiding in her room and wanted to talk to her in the middle of the night.
She was so angry.
Damn Li Yuncheng, she didn't want to talk to him.
Su Xiaoqi bit his finger hard. Li Yuncheng felt pain and loosened his finger. Only then could Su Xiaoqi speak, "Li Yuncheng, what do you want to do? Let me go, let me go..."
Li Yuncheng did not care about the little girl's bite on his hand. He covered her mouth again and his low voice rang in her ear, "Xiaoqi, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just want to talk to you."
"Oh... oh..." Su Xiaoqi's eyes widened and she wanted to talk ? Why did he want to talk to her by covering her mouth like this?
Also, she did not want to see him, and she did not want to talk to him.
Li Yuncheng felt that she was very resistant to him, so he did not pull his hand away. He did not have time to check his bitten hand. He hugged and pulled her to the bed and sat down.
Only then did he speak, "Xiao Qi, tell me, are you unhappy and not used to living in my house? Why did you leave with your brother while I was out? Also, you said that you wanted to break off the engagement. What is going on?"
Su Xiaoqi stared at him angrily.
Li Yuncheng loosened his fingers. "Xiao Qi, as long as you don't scream, I will let go of you, okay? I really want to have a good talk with you."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoqi blinked her eyes and nodded.
Seeing her like this, Li Yuncheng let go of his hand.
Su Xiaoqi took a deep breath and then pushed Li Yuncheng away with great force. She screamed, "Help, there's a thief... Help, thief!"
Su Xiaoqi suddenly screamed and completely let go. Her voice was so loud that everyone outside could hear her. Then, in an instant, the lights outside turned bright. Then, there were footsteps rushing toward Su Xiaoqi's room.
Li Yuncheng stared at Su Xiaoqi with his mouth agape. He could not believe it. "Xiaoqi, what happened to you? I really won't hurt you. Can't you talk to me properly?"
"Get out. If you don't get out now, I will tell my brother that you deliberately hid in my room in the middle of the night and ambushed me." Su Xiaoqi looked at Li Yuncheng coldly. She had no intention of joking at all.
Li Yuncheng fell silent.
He looked at Su Xiaoqi coldly.
Su Xiaoqi also looked at him coldly. There was no trace of warmth in her eyes.
However, Li Yuncheng's eyes were calm, and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
Su Xiaoqi, on the other hand, was cold and mocking.
Just a second before Su Xiaoqi's door was opened, Li Yuncheng suddenly turned around and hid on the balcony without saying a word. Then, he seemed to jump down and disappeared in an instant.
He really looked like someone who knew martial arts and Qinggong.
Unfortunately, Su Xiaoqi only glanced at the place where he disappeared and then withdrew her gaze.
At this time, the door was also opened by the bodyguards and maids. A group of people appeared at Su Xiaoqi's door, and several bodyguards were holding guns in their hands.
"Your Highness, don't be afraid. We're here to save you."
"Your Highness, are you hurt?"
"Your Highness..."
Su Xiaoqi looked at the people who were worried at the door. She rubbed her aching forehead and waved her hand. "I'm fine. I just had a nightmare. You guys go back and help me close the door."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Then rest well, your highness. We'll be right outside. Remember to call us if there's anything. "
The group of people helped her close the door, and then the surroundings became quiet.
Su Xiaoqi got up and went to the bathroom. She took a shower and washed off all the scent of the man from before. Then, she changed into a new set of pajamas. She was too lazy to call the maid. She also changed the bedsheets before lying on the bed.
The entanglement between her and Li Yuncheng was decided by him and her mother when she was not aware of it.
At the beginning, she was not willing to get engaged to Li Yuncheng, who was eight years older than her, let alone get married.
However, she was sent to Li Yuncheng's territory by her mother. Her mother said that she would get along with Li Yuncheng temporarily so that they could develop a relationship.
At first, she was very resistant.
But she did not expect that Li Yuncheng would treat her very well.
