Kiss him?
In front of so many people at the police station?
Such a condition made Mu Keren's originally pale face instantly flush with a rosy color.
She still leaned in Huang Qingtian's arms, her small hands clutching at the sleeves of his clothes, her knuckles white from holding on too tightly.
"Now?" Her voice trembled like that of a small trapped animal. As she asked this question, her big watery eyes were restlessly looking at Huang Qingtian.
The man didn't move, still maintaining a smile that was not quite a smile as he watched her.
And those police officers around them, out of respect for the uniform this man wore, and the powerful aura he exuded, didn't dare to speak.
After a long time without getting the answer she wanted, Mu Keren could only bite her lower lip, standing on tiptoe...
It's just a kiss, isn't it?
It's not like she hadn't kissed him before!
Steeling herself, she quickly moved her face a bit closer to Huang Qingtian's. Those big eyes, like stars, closed. Only the trembling of her long eyelashes gave away her nervousness and unease at that moment.
"Heh..." Right when Mu Keren thought her lips were about to touch Huang Qingtian's, a chuckle suddenly came from above her head.
As she looked up in surprise, she saw Huang Qingtian with a smile on his lips.
He was still impeccably handsome, especially under the ceiling lights, which made his face strikingly attractive.
"Did I say that you have to kiss me here?" Mu Keren became distracted, and the man's thin lips parted again. At the same time, he placed his palm on top of her head, gently rubbing it. The affection and indulgence in that gesture were particularly obvious.
But his words made Mu Keren's face turn even redder.
He did say to kiss him, but it seemed he hadn't really said to kiss him here...
"Alright, there's no rush on this matter, we'll talk about it when we get home," he said.
Seeing Mu Keren still looking like a dazed little goose, Huang Qingtian's palm slid down to her face, symbolically pinching it lightly twice.
Then, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
Mu Keren wasn't clear who exactly he was calling. The only thing she knew was that in such a situation, Huang Qingtian gave her a sense of security, especially the word "home" he uttered, which had a magnetic pull attracting her to return...
"Yuanzhou, find the head of Xiangrui right now," he said.
"He dares to sue the boss lady?"
"Yes, make him roll over to the North City police station right now and close the case. If he can't handle this properly, he doesn't need to stay in China any longer!"
Mu Keren was unsure whom Huang Qingtian was speaking to. After expending too much energy here, she was dozing off in Huang Qingtian's arms.
As for who he referred to as "the boss lady," that was even less likely for Mu Keren to know.
"In a little while, someone from Xiangrui will come over to close the case. Can we leave now?" When Huang Qingtian hung up the call, he realized that the little one in his arms was already in a half-asleep state.
He was addressing the officer investigating the case, but his gaze was actually always on the little person in his arms.
"Yes," that police officer wisely replied. Although Huang Qingtian's call didn't outright reveal his identity, the term "boss lady" had subtly conveyed certain information.
Although Xiangrui Jewelry is a new brand in Nanling State, its influence is not small. This is because Xiangrui Jewelry is a subsidiary of the Huang Group.
In China, Xiangrui Jewelry may not be very famous, but the Yehuang Group is different. The Yehuang Group can be called the leading industrial giant of China. Such an enterprise can truly be described as wealthy enough to rival countries. However, the person in charge of the Yehuang Group has always been enigmatic, with their top executives being equally mysterious.
But now, a minor theft case has actually made the boss of Xiangrui reveal himself to explain things personally. The status of the man here now is...perhaps indeed...
Yet, owing to the flame phoenix insignia on the man's uniform, the police officer, no matter how curious, did not dare to speak out.
And it seemed that Huang Qingtian was not surprised by his release. He nodded slightly, then crouched down and lifted Mu Keren horizontally into his arms.
Mu Keren might have been exhausted. When she was held in his arms, she didn't even struggle, but instead, she actively buried her little face in his chest. Then came the sound of her even breathing.
"Little one, you can sleep like this?" His gaze lingered on Mu Keren's peaceful sleeping face. In his charming voice, there was indulgence that even he himself had not noticed.
In the end, Huang Qingtian still took Mu Keren away.
After he left, the police station returned to normal operation.
Ten minutes later, Ma Qingge, the current chairman of Xiangrui Jewelry, arrived and provided so-called evidence.
And this evidence was nothing else but a photocopy of the marriage certificate.
Allegedly, Mu Keren, the one accused of theft, was the wife of the big boss of the Yehuang Group. After their marriage, the big boss of the Yehuang Group was ready to transfer Xiangrui Jewelry and a few other companies to Mu Keren's name. In other words, why would Mu Keren steal from her own home?
But the person in charge of the Xiangrui Group, Ma Qingge, stated that they would not let this false accusation go easily. If the police did not clarify the truth within a day, the entire Xiangrui Group and even the Yehuang Group would hold them accountable for the false accusation against their young lady!
Because of the pressure from Xiangrui Group, the police could only start retrieving surveillance footage from the incident site under pressure.
While the police station was a beehive of activity due to this incident, Mu Keren, who had just woken up from a sleep, was staring at the bowl of noodles placed in front of her with a look of a clueless little goose.
"Not eating?" Seeing this, Huang Qingtian raised an eyebrow, his expression slightly displeased.
"Eat!" She was starving. Picking up the chopsticks, she began to slurp up the noodles energetically.
When she first tasted the noodles, she thought for sure the flavor wouldn't be good. After all, the noodles were made by Huang Qingtian, who didn't seem the type to cook often.
But after the first bite, her big eyes were filled with astonishment. Then, she began to eat faster. In no time at all, she had finished the noodles.
"The noodles you made are really delicious!" Patting her round belly, Mu Keren squinted her eyes and looked at Huang Qingtian, who was across from her and also eating noodles.
Compared to her, his eating style was refined and elegant, yet not slow. She had finished a bowl of noodles in the time it took him to almost finish a second bowl.
"Huang Qingtian, I didn't steal anything, do you believe me?" Maybe thinking of the distrust she met at the shooting site that day, her expression grew downcast.
Actually, she didn't have much hope in Huang Qingtian either. After all, just like the others who worked with her, he hadn't known her for long.
But Huang Qingtian's response was somewhat unexpected.
"If I didn't believe you, you would be staying in a cell right now!"
After finishing the noodles, Huang Qingtian set the bowl and chopsticks aside and got up to come over to her.
Huang Qingtian's approach was very sudden.
In Mu Keren's astonished eyes, his face was already less than a centimeter away from hers. Then, he asked, "Now, isn't it time to fulfill your promise?"
