Placing the kid on the bed softly while sitting beside him, she was half hugging him from the side of his right.She looked at Lu Jingzhe questioningly as to why he was still standing near the door."I'll take it from here. Once he is asleep. You can tell me what you needed in the living room." She said, getting a bit edgy with his constant staring."Ohh... don't mind me. I have a habit of confirming that little tiger is asleep before I go to bed myself." He said before coming to sit on the other side of Lu Jing.Without even waiting for her reply or objection, he scooted closer to Lu Jing, which indirectly means scooting closer to her.Qingxi couldn't help but look at the ambiguous position they were in, with an awkward expression on her face.Lu Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his father's shamelessness. It was indeed true that he would co
Lu Jingzhe looked at Qingxi, waiting patiently for her response."I need some time to think about it. But I promise to be available for him whenever I am needed." Qingxi said. Seeing her complicated thoughtful expression, Lu Jingzhe nodded his head in understatement.Lu Jingzhe knew where Qingxi was coming from. They barely knew each other for more than a week only and now he was requesting her to reside with them.They had not even developed that kind of trust to start with and thus, he didn't take it to heart when Qingxi asked for the time to think about it. At least it was better than clear rejection, which means there was still some hope.He was ready to hold on to that thin thread of hope to cure his kid.Even though Lu Jing was his adopted kid, it doesn't mean he loved him any less. It was just that he was getting at his wit's end in finding the method that can cure his kid. 
"Can't you do such a little thing for me Qingxi? Where is the girl who could even die for me?" Chu Xuelo said."Well I can still die for you, but I can't do what you are asking me to," Qingxi said with resolution."What are you whining for? It's not like you haven't done something like this before.""I may have done this before many times, but I am not doing it with you. I still have my morals. You are a lady! Chu Xuelo!! Go get someone else for your dirty desires." Qingxi berated, going in the kitchen."Please baby! Just do it this last time. All I am asking you is one night. Can't you even give me your one night?""Ohh, I can give you many nights of mine, but I won't agree with your proposal of what to do on that night.""Please Qingxi. Pretty please?""No""Pretty please with a cherry on the top."&nbs
It was as Chu Xuelo had predicted, but she hadn't predicted the extent of Qingxi's charm.Qingxi was looking so handsome in this form that if she didn't know she was a girl in a man's disguise, then she would've fallen for her."Babe..don't go anywhere. Just stick to my side okay? I will protect you from every evil wolf here." Chu Xuelo said, looking angrily at all the females in the party who were eyeing Qingxi as if she was a piece of candy.Her mother hen mode was on, and she was ready to berate and protect her boyfriend Qingxi, from every evil claw.When she didn't get any response in return, she looked behind her to only see Qingxi standing at a distance surrounded by multiple females, who were laughing fakely, trying their best to gain her attention.Chu Xuelo was dumbfounded at the scene in front of her.Are these the same ladies that said their hearts cannot
Getting out of the room with a calm expression, Qingxi strutted towards the area where everyone was waiting for her.Looking as calm as ever, Chu Xuelo heaved a sigh of relief when she noticed nothing out of place.The thing she was most afraid was of Lu Jingzhe provoking Qingxi and Qingxi's reaction. According to her, Qingxi was a Canadian return who didn't know about the forces and big bosses that ruled this place now.Rushing towards Qingxi, she asked if she was okay to confirm herself."Oh…I am fine," Qingxi replied, smirking in particular someone's direction, before adding."Mr. Lu just wanted to discuss some of his preferences." She said, standing on one foot and placing the other on the wall on which she was leaning.Chu Xuelo- ".."Cao Tian- ".."Zhao- ".."Lu Jing- ".."Lu Jingzhe looked at Qingxi amusedly
Sitting in a park that was in the vicinity of her apartment, Qingxi swung herself on the swings mindlessly.It was 6 am and the park was almost empty, with few stray dogs running around playing.It was more than 3 weeks already, but her father has yet to contact her. It was very unlikely, given that her father was the only person she thought loved her the most.When Qingxi's mother and father had divorced, Qingxi's mother had fought hard for the custody of Xialing, and wouldn't she?Wasn't Xialing the brightest and smartest child in her eyes?It always irked Qingxi how she was treated by her mother. It was as if she was a result of an involuntarily pleasurable night between her mother and father.Her mother had always ignored her existence. The divorce of her parents took place when she was five years old, and Xialing was four years old only.
Qingxi's mother Luo Lin Che, sat frozen at the sarcastic laugh Qingxi offered her.Her stepfather Luo Zengluo pursed his lips helplessly before breaking into a sweet smile. He never was against Qingxi, but she never proved to be the best child for him either.Her results were good and she was an excellent child, but there was this feeling with her, the indifferent feeling that never subsided but only kept on increasing.It didn't help when she was always compared with the obedient Xialing by her mother. And the thing that she never agreed with changing her surname was one thing that was like a thorn in his heart."Qingxi. You insolent kid. You are returning after 5 years, yet you didn't even think of meeting your parents? If it wasn't for Xialing who told us about it, were you even planning on visiting us?" Luo Lin Che said, shifting from awkwardness to concerned mother within a second.
Qingxi looked at her mother to confirm whether the nonsense Xialing was spouting was true or not.Her words were confirmed when Lin Che started looking everywhere except in Qingxi's eyes to avoid eye contact. What was this? A guilty conscience?According to what Xialing was saying, she was Lin Che's and Zengluo's daughter. But Xialing was only one year younger than her. This means either Lin Che was seeing Zengluo even before Qingxi's birth or she started seeing him after giving birth to her.But the divorce took place when she was five years old, then does that mean Lin che was cheating on her dad and that's why the divorce occurred.Everyone sat quietly as they looked at Qingxi's face, who was trying to make sense out of things. They observed how her eyes look changed from indifferent, to hurt, and then to extreme coldness."Mother, whatever she is saying, is that true or not?"
"Qingxi, don't be naughty. You have not recovered fully." Lu Jingzhe said as Qingxi tried to come on top of him again."It's been four months since that incident happened. Do you not want to love me?" Qingxi asked as she roamed her leg up and down Lu Jingzhe's body coquettishly."I want to love you, heck I have been thinking about it for a year now. But your health will always be a priority for me.""Please? Just give me some?" Qingxi said as she tried to seduce Lu Jingzhe, who wasn't even allowing her to kiss him.It was their wedding night today.When Qingxi had woken that day after the long operation, the first thing that Lu Jingzhe had asked Qingxi was to get married, but Qingxi had denied him once again.She said she was just blooming in her career, and it will be too much hard work for her to keep their marriage hidden.But Lu Jingzhe this time was adamant about marrying her, and because of that, he used the only way he coul
"No! QINGXI!" Lu Jingzhe, who was too shocked to react earlier, shouted when he saw her falling to the ground like a lifeless doll.Blood was oozing out of her stomach and her complexion was turning paler by each second.Picking her up bridal style, he placed her inside the car before he took out his jacket and wrapped it around her torso. The last time when she had gotten hurt, things were not so severe, and thus, he wasn't feeling so bad at that time, but now that she was shot straight into the stomach, he knew it was life-threatening."Drive faster!" Lu Jingzhe yelled, and it was not long before they stopped in front of a large hospital.Lu Jing, whose eyes were closed didn't know what was happening, but he knew that he is to only open his eyes when his pretty aunt says so, and thus, he kept his eyes closed.As Lu Jingzhe helped Qingxi on a stretcher, Lu Jing heard his dad saying to the doctor,"She was shot in the stomach. Please sav
As soon as Lu Jingzhe received the call from Qingxi, he asked his team, which is always available for any mission, to get ready immediately. Passing them the approximate location that Qingxi had sent, he couldn't help but feel like something bad was about to happen.He didn't want to repeat what happened three years back with his brother and couldn't help but close his eyes as he prayed to God to keep both of them safe."We don't know how many are there and who are they or who had ordered them to do this kidnapping. I want you to guys focus on the safety of my kid that you have already seen many times and a woman who is going to be your lady boss soon. They are to be protected more than how you guys protect me." Lu Jingzhe said before taking out his phone and showing them the picture.All of them saw the picture and nodded as they had remembered the girl. As they were moving, one of the men who was sitting along with Lu Jingzhe and bodyguard Cheng couldn't
"Lu Jingzhe, wake up! Today is Sunday. I had promised Lu Jing to take him out to play on Sundays. Have you forgotten about it?" Qingxi said while almost jumping on top of him."Mmm...come here. Let me sleep more. I rarely get such a good sleep. I think I should start sleeping with you more often to get a good sleep." Lu Jingzhe said while pulling her on top of him again."Lu Jingzhe, we will discuss these things later. First, hurry up and get ready. We need to go to the old mansion." Qingxi coaxed."AHH...I forgot to tell you. I can't accompany you guys today. I have a very urgent meeting today. I am sorry." Lu Jingzhe said solemnly."What are you feeling sorry for? You have work, it's important, we understand." Qingxi said before pecking his lips softly."Mmm..don't tempt me with these kisses. I am already aroused early in the morning, I am afraid if I start kissing you, you won't be to see Lu Jing for the next whole week, let alone today."
"Lu Jingzhe! I am not able to zip the chain with only one hand! Come here this instant!" Qingxi shouted from her room, and her voice echoed in the whole house.It had been one month since the incident with her falling down the stairs happened. The plaster from her hand was already removed, but it doesn't mean she was good to go and was able to do things easily like she used to do earlier.In this one month, Qingxi has almost turned Lu Jingzhe into her maid, she would call him back and forth for even work as small as picking up a fallen spoon.When butler Ho Chen came to know about Qingxi's condition and injury, he had suggested hiring a personal nurse or appoint a maid to miss Qingxi, who will tend to all of her demands but Lu Jingzhe had denied them saying, all if this happened because he couldn't take care of her properly, and now he wants to make up for it by personally taking care of her.And to say Miss Qingxi had made his work harder wou
Placing her in the back seat of his car, Lu Jingzhe hurriedly came to sit in front before starting the car to drive to the nearest hospital as soon as possible.He could see his car seats getting dirty by Qingxi's blood and couldn't help but curse out aloud.It wasn't the car seats that he was anxious about. He was anxious about the amount of blood Qingxi was losing.After 10 minutes of driving with his heart beating at a faster pace than his car was going. He finally parked his car in front of a hospital.Picking her up bridal style, he ran inside the hospital before yelling,"Doctor!! Doctor!!" By this time, he has already thrown his mask and couldn't care less about hiding his identity or anything. The thing that he was more scared about was Qingxi's health."Qingxi! Wake up! Don't close your eyes! Didn't you say you will be staying by my side for the rest of my life as a friend, if not as a wife? I want a healthy friend,
Meanwhile, Qingxi and her family were having a joyous celebration and heart-to-heart talks, the news about Qingxi being the next heir of Xu league enterprise and the real granddaughter of General Yun Bing spread in the country like fire spreads in a bundle of dry leaves.Almost every other netizens were talking about her. Not only she had gained popularity in the entertainment circle because of the rumors clearing and Xialing's tricks, but also in the business circle since she was declared as the sole heir of such a big enterprise.Inside Luo's mansion, when Luo Lin Che saw the news about Qingxi being the real granddaughter of General Yun Bing, she felt like falling to the ground from sky-high.She has always asked her husband (Qingxi's real father) about his family, and their status but every time she would ask him that, he would always turn the question in a different direction.When Luo Lin Che married Qingxi's father, it wasn't because she
"So, she is your granddaughter?" Lu Jingzhe's grandfather asked to confirm his doubts.It was only after he asked that, did the Yun family realized that they were not alone and had company."Is there anyone in the world that I can love more than I love her?" Grandpa Ying Bing said, making Qingxi smile when she suddenly remembered something."Wait, you guys know each other? And why are you guys acting so civil? Shouldn't you be like avoiding each other and fighting each other? If you have a feud between yourselves then don't hide it, no one is here anymore." Qingxi asked, and everyone looks at her quizzically."Jingzhe, I know you stayed because you were scared for me, not knowing the whole truth, but now that you know the truth, you guys can leave. You don't have to sit with your enemies just because you guys care for me. And same is for grandpa Yun bing. If you don't like them, then you don't have to sit here just because I am associated with their
"I can explain," Qingxi said as she looked in the eyes of not only one person but four people who were standing there and gazing at her with a complicated expression. The most prominent of that of General Yun Bing, who was gazing at her with anger."You brat! Come right here! Let me teach you a good lesson. How dare you!" General Yun Bing hollered, and Qingxi, who was too shocked to react, looked at master Xu with accusing eyes."Hadn't I mentioned not to call General Yun Bing and his family to the party?" Qingxi asked as she looked at the people in front of her with a worried expression."I knew you told me to not call him, but I couldn't contain in the temptation and didn't want to miss the fun and such an explicit scene of you being reprimanded by someone. You already had your share making things hard for me, now it's my turn.Don't I know that the only person you fear after your dad is your grandfather. Also, he is my best friend. Do
