"Madam…" The girl repeated the word with a dull look.
However, Qian Tao noticed that Li Hengzhi paid no mind. He walked towards her and carried her in his arms.
Qian Tao was shocked. She tried to balance the cup to prevent the water from spilling.
"What are you doing?" she silently mouthed as she stared at him.
Li Hengzhi walked up the stairs and when he walked past the girl, he stopped and instructed further, "Go and get Madam some clean clothing."
"Yes…"
Qian Tao felt that the girl was in a daze.
When the room door was opened, Qian Tao was sure that it was his bedroom. The room took on a style of simplicity, mostly in monochrome, and was clean and organized. It looked as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, she had to admit that the room gave off a feeling of great comfort.
Once she was placed on the bed, she sat up. "That girl…"
"Her name is Ji Xuan. If you need anything, just let her know."
"No…" Of course, that was not what she wanted to ask.
Li Hengzhi didn't care what she was curious about and interrupted. "Mr. Qian is not around and your stepmother doesn't care about your wellbeing. I don't want to spend fifty million to marry a corpse. Tonight, you will sleep here."
No matter how much Liu Hui disliked her, she would not do anything bad toward her. 'Corpse' was too much of an exaggeration.
"Wait…here?" You mean, just here?" Qian Tao pointed at the bed she was sitting on, "Didn't you say to prepare a room for me?"
Li Hengzhi opened his wardrobe and could see Qian Tao's expression from the mirror attached. He smirked and, maintaining his composure, exclaimed, "You are my wife. Is there anything wrong with sleeping with me?"
"But I'm not your wife… yet—" Qian Tao suddenly shut her mouth.
He had just unbuttoned the top two buttons on his shirt when he heard what she said and turned around. His hands pressed on the bed and Qian Tao could feel the bed sink with his weight. His face was so close to hers. He had perfect features and she was afraid he would kiss her. She pursed her lips and leaned backward, blinking slightly.
She glanced unconsciously at his sexy collarbone, which had been revealed after he had unbuttoned his shirt, and she gulped nervously.
"When you abducted me into bed, you were not my wife too."
Qian Tao blushed. There was a seductive temperament within his strong build and aura, making hearts pound wildly.
It suddenly occurred to her that this would be something he could use to threaten and tease her with in future.
Tong Tong had asked her many times if she would regret and she had said no, but at this moment, her heart was full of regrets!
She had indeed messed with the wrong man. She was clueless as to what he was thinking!
"Brother Li…here are the clothes…"
The appearance of Ji Xuan broke the awkwardness. Li Hengzhi stood up.
She entered the room with mixed feelings, looked at Qian Tao, and passed her the clothes. "Here, Madam…"
Qian Tao laughed while she shook her head. "I'm Qian Tao. If you don't mind, you can just call me Tao."
Ji Xuan smiled dryly.
Li Hengzhi took his shirt off and his buff muscles showed.
Qian Tao turned away but Ji Xuan was looking, as if she was used to the sight of him being topless.
