Gong Mochen was taken aback when he saw the girl running out. He had deliberately come back late, but he had not expected her to wait up for him.
Qin Sheng looked at the man who was looking back at her. A sense of estrangement swept through her heart. She had never felt this way before, and this was the first time she felt that there was a distance between them.
Her heart ached as she stared fixedly at Gong Mochen. She wanted to see how he was going to explain where he had gone tonight.
A moment later, Gong Mochen started running towards the girl. However, when he approached her, he brushed past her.
"Gong Mochen! Tell me, where did you go? Why didn't you come home?" Qin Sheng couldn't help but turn around and question the man.
Gong Mochen paused. "It's getting late. Go to sleep, or you'll be late tomorrow."
Qin Sheng ran to the man and looked at his face. In the past, whenever she pouted, he would hug her and coax her without hesitation.
"Let me ask you, where did you go night?" she stood in front of him and asked loudly.
Gong Mochen's face was calm, but cold. "I'm busy with work. I don't have time to play with you. After I finish my work, I'll be going to bed."
He darted around the girl and walked away from her. His hands that hung by his sides were clenched into fists.
His heart was beating painfully. He really wanted to pick her up and kiss her little face, so that she wouldn't be angry.
He knew all to well of her bad temper. That bad temper was created by him alone. Only he could settle her down.
However, from today onwards, he couldn't do that with her anymore. He wanted her to slowly adapt to life without him.
Qin Sheng's eyes were misty. He didn't even look at her.
"You said that Ye Wei is only your doctor!" She turned around and chased after the man.
Gong Mochen lips formed into a straight line. "She is only my doctor. I saved her because she was framed. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it. I can't just leave her to die because of your wilfulness!"
The man walked past Qin Sheng again. Qin Sheng's aggrieved tears rolled down her face.
She didn't really want to stand by and do nothing. She just wanted to see if he would listen to her. Even if he agreed not to save her, she would still let him save her.
"You're angry with me because I didn't want you to save Ye Wei?"
Gong Mochen didn't stop. "I'm not angry with you. You're the one who's angry!"
He strode into his room and closed the door.
He didn't have any thoughts about Ye Wei. He'd saved her to help him get the antidote. That was all.
When he thought of the antidote, his heart tightened. A plan flashed through his mind. It was the only way he could get the antidote, but he really didn't know the success rate...
Qin Sheng covered her mouth with her hand. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She admitted that she had lost her temper at him, but she just wanted him to settle her, to let her know that he still cared about her and loved her. That was all!
Why did he not want to settle her?
The sound of a man's footsteps echoed behind her. Li Ang's devilish face came close to her face.
"Are you crying? You look so ugly when you cry. Hey, Mochen, your niece is crying!" Li Ang shouted on purpose.
Qin Sheng glared angrily at Li Ang's face, wanting to tear it into pieces!
"Get lost!" She raised her hand to push Li Ang away and returned to her bedroom.
Li Ang shamelessly squeezed into the room before the girl closed the door.
"Are you really angry? I'm joking with you! Don't cry."
Qin Sheng raised her hand to push the man again. "Who let you in? Get Out!"
"Didn't you let me in?" Li Ang said.
"I told you to get lost!" Qin Sheng roared.
"Get lost? But I'm here now. Where do you want me to get lost to? On the bed, on the floor, on the table, in the bathtub..."
Without waiting for Li Ang to finish, Qin Sheng shouted.
"Nie Feng! Nie..."
Li Ang raised his hand and covered Qin Sheng's mouth. "Don't shout! I'm here to help you. It's fine if you don't listen."
Qin Sheng blinked her eyes. She raised her hand and pushed the man's hand away. "What do you want to help me with?"
"Didn't you fight with Gong Mochen? Do you want to anger him? I'll help you to anger him!" Li Ang said.
"How are you going to help me to anger him?" Qin Sheng asked.
"That's easy. Gong Mochen has Ye Wei by his side, so you have me by your side. Let's be a couple. If he really has you in his heart, he will definitely try to get you back. If he doesn't, you can stay with me. Both of us are handsome men. You won't be at a disadvantage!" Li Ang said.
Qin Sheng rolled her eyes at Li Ang. His narcissistic attitude always seemed to change her worldview.
However, his idea moved her. She turned and nodded.
"It's settled. But I'm only pretending to be a couple. I'm in love with my uncle!"
Li Ang's lips twitched. 'Stupid girl, let's see how I will torture you when I get you!' he thought secretly.
She dared to say that she was in love with another man in front of him. If she said it once, he would punish her ten times!
"Who wants to be a real couple with you? I just want to anger Gong Mochen!" he said stubbornly.
Although he'd said that, he secretly wanted to be in a real couple with her!
Qin Sheng nodded her little head. "Alright! From tomorrow onwards, we'll pretend to be in a couple! "
Li Ang's lips curved into a devilish smile. With a thud, he placed his hand on the girl's door and placed her between him and the door.
"Darling, shouldn't we practice and do what couples do?"
Qin Sheng looked at the man who was pressing down on her. The corners of her lips curved into a fox-like smile. "Such as?"
"Such as... Aaah!" Li Ang covered his face in pain. "Slapping my face again?"
"Well, what did you expect? I want to practice my slapping technique. So, I'll start by slapping you!"
The girl's innocuous smile made Li Ang want to destroy her. He was going to write another debt on her head!
He touched his face with his hand and suddenly lowered his head to kiss the girl's cheek. "Darling, have you heard that a slap is a kiss? You hitting me is hinting that you want to kiss me!"
Qin Sheng was so scared that she pushed the man away. Her small face turned red. "I don't want you to kiss me!"
Oh my God... a slap is a kiss? Is there even such a thing?
F*ck... maybe she shouldn't slap him again. Maybe it would be better to scold him?
Suddenly, Li Ang's cell phone rang, interrupting his plan to flirt with the little woman.
He glanced at his cell phone. "Go to sleep. I'll take you to school tomorrow."
He turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Qin Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Ang wouldn't pester her any longer.
At the end of the corridor, Li Ang walked over and looked at the man standing in front of the window.
"What's the matter? You're in a hurry to call me? Qin Sheng and I can't be intimate because of you," he said smugly.
Gong Mochen grabbed Li Ang's collar. "Stay away from Qin Sheng!"
Li Ang threw a punch at Gong Mochen. "What a joke! I want to marry her. Do I need you to agree? Why don't you marry her if you have the guts!"
