Chereads / THE PAMPERED WIFE / Chapter 18 - CHAPTER 18: AREN'T YOU AFRAID

Chapter 18 - CHAPTER 18: AREN'T YOU AFRAID

 Shen Xingkong blinked and asked, "Did you say 'child bride'? Are you talking about me?"

Qi Rongchen nodded his head and continued, "Yes, yes. Our Ah ye's child bride is not someone anyone can be."

Although the incident at the hotel was suppressed by Dong Ru zhu's grandfather and grandmother, there were still people who couldn't be silenced.

Qi Rongchen knew about it, but he just shrugged it off.

He just didn't expect that the person Ah ye e wanted to save from the scandal was the poor little girl who was tricked by his sister.

Child bride? Shen Xingkong smiled even sweeter.

She thought to herself that no one was more suitable than her.

She knew him, Qi Rongchen, one of Huo Siye's best friends and the second young master of the Qi family. Although he was a bit unreliable, he was a good brother who would risk his life for Huo Siye.

Qi Rongchen also looked at Shen Xingkong, but was a bit disappointed and shook his head. She was dry and thin, with a yellow complexion and only her eyes were pretty.

It turned out that Ah ye liked this type of malnourished girl.

His taste was quite unique.

"I am indeed the prey of the yellow bird, but that yellow bird is you, right?"

Snooker recounted the whole incident and finally realized, "Shen Xingkong, you are indeed a cunning fox."

Indeed?

Shen Xingkong noticed that he used the word 'indeed'.

This meant that someone had told him before that she was a cunning fox.

Dong Ru zhu? Impossible.

In Dong Ru zhu's eyes, he was just a hired killer who did things for money.

That must be the person from the Huo family he knew.

"Thank you for the compliment, it's well-deserved," said Shen Xingkong.

Huo Siye glanced at her with lowered eyes. Was this a compliment? She must be mentally unstable and have a twisted mind.

"Tell me, what do you want to do after the Yellow Sparrow?" asked Huo Siye.

"I just like to deal with smart people," Shen Xingkong blinked her eyes.

Snooker suddenly felt like he had fallen into a pit.

"Cooperate with me, and I guarantee you can leave the police station unharmed," said Shen Xingkong.

"How do we cooperate?" Snooker looked at Shen Xingkong with great interest.

It was just a police station, and it couldn't hold him back.

If that's the case, he might as well play with her.

"If you don't believe what I say, I'll let you see it with your own eyes," said Shen Xingkong.

Snooker knew she was referring to the phrase "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"Okay, little fox," Snooker agreed.

...

"Aye, Aye, you better pick up your foster daughter and take her to the hospital. Look at her malnourished appearance, she's about to faint! Don't you understand how to cherish and care for beautiful things? Be careful of ending up alone!" Qi Rongchen felt that his buddy was too unromantic, no wonder he had been single for 25 years without even holding a girl's hand.

"Ah, right, I'm about to faint," Shen Xingkong secretly gave Qi Rongchen a thumbs up with her eyes, then her eyes went black and she fainted.

Qi Rongchen acted quickly and pushed the fainted Shen Xingkong into Huo Siye's arms.

He took several steps back, looking as if he was afraid of trouble, and said, "Your child bride, you can hold her yourself."

Bai Ning nodded heavily and agreed, "Fourth Master, you have to hold her yourself."

Huo Siye frowned sharply and said, "..."

"I feel so uncomfortable... My head hurts... My wound hurts... It hurts so much..." The soft lump in his arms moaned and groaned, and Huo Siye's sharp eyebrows twisted, but his Adam's apple rolled unnoticed by others.

"Hey! Forget it, I'll reluctantly hold her." Qi Rongchen stretched out his arms unhappily, ready to pick her up.

Bai Ning also stepped forward and said, "Fourth Master, I can reluctantly hold her too."

Huo Siye's cold gaze swept over, as terrifying as the sudden storm in late July, and froze the two outstretched hands stiffly in mid-air.

Qi Rongchen awkwardly withdrew his arms and said, "Okay, you can hold her yourself."

Bai Ning forced a smile and said, "Fourth Master, please go ahead."

Huo Siye bent down and picked up the little girl in his arms, and walked away with wide strides.

Qi Rongchen curled his lips and said, "Old man, he says no, but his body is honest."

"Exactly."

The two smiled at each other.

Huo Siye carried Shen Xingkong downstairs, and roughly threw her into the car.

"Ah..." Xingkong cried out in pain.

"It's better to bear the pain."

Xingkong rubbed her wound and sat up, glaring at him angrily, "You're so mean, I hate you."

After getting on the car, Huo Siye gave her a complex look.

"Are you crazy enough now?"

That was Snooker!

The number one surgeon on the dark web, famous for live organ harvesting in both black and white markets.

He was a demon.

And she just calculated him like that, all by herself!

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Huo Siye felt like his lungs were about to explode. He really wanted to pry open her head and see what was inside.

"I am," Xingkong said seriously, "of course I am afraid. I'm just an eighteen-year-old girl, how could I not be afraid? But is being afraid useful? Dong Ru zhu brought him here to make me suffer. If I don't fight back, what you see now is just a dying and struggling Shen Xingkong!"

She was afraid, very afraid.

When she woke up in the hospital and saw Snooker, she was scared to death.

When she secretly sent him a distress signal, she was even more scared, with cold sweat all over her body.

When she negotiated with Snooker in the ice cellar, her whole body was trembling.

When the knife almost stabbed her eye, her mind was filled with the scene of her previous life before dying.

She was scared to death!

She was afraid of dying like this, and even more afraid of never having the chance to seek revenge again!

But what could she do?

She was powerless, her only bargaining chip was to "face death as if going home".

"But fortunately, my luck has been good these past two days."

"Huo Siye, what do you want to do?" Xingkong asked.

Since he met her, he felt that she was very strange.

He had heard before that Shen Jia's third miss was timid and easily frightened, always hesitant in her actions. But now what he saw was a completely different Shen Xingkong.

Timid and easily frightened?

No one could have more courage than her.

Always hesitant?

She was more efficient than any man in the things she did.

"To live." When faced with this question, Xingkong thought for a moment and said, "I just want to live with dignity."

In her past life, under the manipulation of Dong Ru zhu and her daughter, she was like a dog, humiliated by others.

In this life, besides seeking revenge, the most important thing was to gradually regain the dignity she had lost in her past life.

To live?

These two words lingered on her tongue for a moment, and Huo Siye withdrew his inquisitive gaze. "I'll take you back to the hospital."

"I'm not going back to the hospital."

She had to play her part to the fullest.

Dong Ru zhu, Shen Xinai.

This time, the price you have to pay will be much higher than you think.

"Take me back to Shen's house and bring Snooker with you."

Huo Siye didn't say anything and started the car.

A few minutes later, he called Bai Ning, "Take Snooker to Shen's house."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Siye drove the Aston Martin like a rocket.

Xingkong clenched her seat belt, bit her lip, and turned her head to ask nervously, "Siye, you'll stand by my side later, won't you?"
