Chu Xia looked at the man worriedly. "Then be careful. I'll leave now. Call me if you need anything!"
Qin Sheng gave Chu Xia a calm look, telling her to leave without worry.
"Hey! What do you mean? Why did you tell her to be careful? Will I eat her or something?" the man shouted at Chu Xia.
"Won't you eat me? For goodness sake..." Qin Sheng said indifferently.
"Miss, why do I feel that you're hinting that I can eat you?" The man's hand slammed against the wall, his long narrow eyes flashing with a demonic light.
Qin Sheng raised her hand to push the man. "Li Ang, be serious! I have something to say!"
Li Ang laughed softly. "Which part of my sentence wasn't serious? Or do you want to see how serious I am?"
He lowered his head, and his lips were close to Qin Sheng's ear. The moist and hot breath gushed out onto her face.
Qin Sheng's small fist pounded on the man's chest. "Back off! If you don't back off, don't even think about taking me away!"
Li Ang's lips curled into a straight line. "If you follow me, won't you be mine? Since you will be mine sooner or later, why don't we..."
The next moment, he changed his words and said, "Okay, okay! Let's talk calmly! Who taught you to be so dirty, anyway? Was it Chu Xia? Stay away from her in the future!"
That damn little woman... She actually pulled out a tin of pepper spray and aimed it at him!
Qin Sheng put the pepper spray back into her bag. The pepper spray, or Mace, was a defensive weapon that Chu Xia had given her when she was in school, but she had never used it before.
She only remembered it today.
She rolled her eyes and looked at the man. "What's dirty about defending myself? It's just pepper spray, what's dirty about it?"
Li Ang was a little surprised. "You still don't know?"
"Know what?" Qin Sheng asked back.
"Uh, nothing. Don't ask so many questions. Tell me what you want to talk to me about?" Li Ang asked.
"Aren't you the one looking for me? Tell me, how are you going to take me away?" Qin Sheng asked.
She wouldn't go abroad to study with Ha Siqi. Since Gong Mochen didn't want her anymore, she thought she should do something for herself and investigate her mother. She wanted to find out what happened when she was young. She wanted to find out who her mother was!
The cynicism on Li Ang's face was instantly restrained. His expression was like it was in their first meeting. "Have you really thought it through? You really want to come with me and find out what happened when you were young? Maybe that's not what you want to know..."
This was something that he had always wanted to do, but at that moment, his heart softened and he didn't want to take her away.
Only then did he understand why Gong Mochen would give his life to protect Qin Sheng, why he had given her to the Ha family.
If it was him, would he make the same choice as Gong Mochen?
He was glad that he wasn't Gong Mochen!
Qin Sheng nodded. "I've thought it through. Whether it's good for me or not, it's what I need to do. But what are you going to do? This country is my uncle's world. You can't take me away... It'll be too hard."
"Indeed, without his consent, it would be very difficult for me to take you away. But as long as you agree, I'll think of a way. I came to find you today to ask you whether you want to leave or not," Li Ang said.
He had sent people to monitor the Ha family villa. Outside the Ha family villa, there were people from the Ha family and Gong Mochen. He couldn't enter at all. Fortunately, Qin Sheng came out and his people had been following her. Only then did he find the chance to see her alone.
"Yes, but I want to leave on Monday," Qin Sheng said.
Li Ang's eyebrows sank. "So, this is what you truly want? Do you want to leave after your uncle is engaged? Are you going to attend?"
Qin Sheng's lips twitched. "In the end, he raised me. I should go and bless him, shouldn't I? Don't worry, I'll leave with you after I attend."
She was such a stubborn person. She would only leave willingly when she saw a scene that made her give up all hope!
After eighteen years of love, she wanted to put an end to them. If that was his choice, she would leave quietly and not disturb his life.
Li Ang had no choice but to agree to Qin Sheng. He didn't dare to stay in the alley for too long. In the blink of an eye, he climbed over the low wall and left the alley.
Qin Sheng waited for Li Ang to disappear before she walked out of the alley and took a taxi back to the Ha family villa.
***
In the CEO's Office of the Gong Group, Gong Mochen listened to Nie Feng's report.
"Miss Qin's condition is much better. It was Chu Xia who knew Miss Qin's thoughts and persuaded Miss Qin to go out to meet her.
"However, there was an accident. They ran into Shen Tong and Sikong Jue. Chu Xia pulled Miss Qin into an alley and was crying. The alley was very quiet after that. Our people didn't dare to venture into it. They were afraid that Miss Qin would discover them."
Nie Feng reported everything to Gong Mochen.
Gong Mochen's brows sank. "Chu Xia told her that I'm to be engaged to Qin Zixian on Monday?"
"She should have. Ha Siqi deliberately told Chu Xia to use this reason to persuade Qin Sheng to leave. However, Chu Xia left first and Miss Qin only came out after a long time...
"I asked someone to go into the alley to investigate. We didn't find anything. We just don't know what Miss Qin did in the alley," Nie Feng said.
Gong Mochen nodded. "It's possible that Li Ang met Qin Sheng."
"It can't be. Our secret guards were monitoring Miss Qin all the way. Is he so bold?" Nie Feng couldn't understand.
"Duke Li Ang is a powerful figure in Europe. Don't question his ability. However, it doesn't matter whether they meet or not. When I'm to be engaged, Qin Sheng will definitely come. You guys take her and Ha Siqi out of the country directly!" Gong Mochen ordered.
He wouldn't give Li Ang any chance to take Qin Sheng away.
"Yes!" Nie Feng left the office.
Ye Wei walked to Gong Mochen's side and thoughtfully gave him the soup that she personally brewed. If not for her soup, Gong Mochen wouldn't have lasted until now.
"Why do you want to marry Fourth Miss? Fourth Miss is a, err, bad person..."
She stammered her words. These days, she followed Gong Mochen everywhere. Ever since the news of Qin Zixian and Gong Mochen's engagement spread, Qin Zixian had been giving her a lot of trouble. She could be pushed down when she was walking in the company. She could also be pushed down the stairs with oil.
Gong mochen drank the soup and returned the bowl to Ye Wei. "I know what Zixian has done. I know she can be a bad person. I'm sorry for making you suffer. But the person who touched Qin Sheng the most was Qin Zixian. I want Qin Sheng to hate me, so I can only get engaged to Qin Zixian."
Ye Wei's heart turned cold. Gong Mochen was doing it for Qin Sheng again. It turned out that everything he did was for Qin Sheng.
"Aren't you going to steal the medicine from Li Ang? If there's a culture medium, I can try to make an antidote!" she said anxiously.
In the man's heart, Qin Sheng was the most important. In her heart, the man was the most important!
