Chapter 189: Chapter 189

"Yu Bao, hit him! Beat him to death!!" Qi Longbing ordered furiously.

The two men standing outside were stunned for a moment. The next second, Yu Bao threw a punch straight at Wen Yajun’s face.

This man was really asking for it! How could he be so utterly oblivious?

As Yu Bao was beating him, he was inwardly scolding himself.

Hua Xiaomo, President Qi cherished her so much! And yet, such a guy had managed to get ahead of them all, damn it!

However, it’s likely that I can’t escape blame either, what an injustice! Even if I, Yu Bao, were to watch Hua Xiaomo twenty-four hours a day, could I really control who she liked, who she wanted to date, or who she wanted to live with?

At this moment, with Su Ronghua not at home, the house was suddenly thrown into chaos.

In just a short while, the bookish-looking Wen Yajun was beaten to his knees, wailing pitifully.

"President Qi... I didn’t... I didn’t betray you!" Wen Yajun said while being hit, the corners of his mouth already split and bleeding from Yu Bao’s blows.

Hua Xiaomo, who had already swiftly turned her head back, now rushed towards the door, no longer able to conceal her injuries.

But in the next second, her arm was grabbed by Qi Longbing.

Just at that moment, Qi Longbing froze when he saw the swelling on her face.

"Xiao Mo, you, what happened to you?" Qi Longbing’s gaze was completely drawn to the injury on her face. He even temporarily forgot his anger.

"I’m fine. President Qi, please tell Yu Bao to stop. I didn’t live with him. I fell from upstairs, and Wen Yajun saved me," Hua Xiaomo said quickly. At this moment, she completely understood what was happening.

Heaven knows how terrifying it is when a man is consumed with jealousy...

"What? You fell from upstairs?" Qi Longbing was completely dumbfounded and immediately shouted, "Stop!"

Upon hearing this command outside, Yu Bao also stopped. But even so, Wen Yajun had taken quite a beating.

"Haha, sorry about that, Wen Yajun. Just consider it as me using you for punching bag practice!" Yu Bao laughed awkwardly, also sighing in relief inwardly. It was fortunate they weren’t living together; that could have cost him his life!

Then he went over and helped the man up from the ground.

"It’s fine, Brother Bao!" Wen Yajun also let out a relieved smile, looked at Yu Bao, and then said, "I’m glad to be a punching bag for Brother Bao."

"Hahaha, good buddy!" Yu Bao also laughed, patting his shoulder.

The fight between the two men outside ended quickly, and they made up just as fast, while the two inside the house also calmed down. The storm was extinguished by Hua Xiaomo before it could fully erupt.

Qi Longbing helped Hua Xiaomo sit on the couch, looking at her face. The corner of her usually delicate mouth was swollen and red, her cheek was also somewhat swollen, and even her forehead bore some marks of injury. He couldn’t help but say with deep concern, "How could you be so careless as to fall down the stairs?"

He reached out his hand, wanting to touch her face, but she quickly turned away.

Suddenly, her shoulder was gently squeezed. Qi Longbing, already smiling, steadied her. "Xiao Mo, my heart truly aches for you. I wish I could always keep you in my embrace." He paused, his smile deepening. "Let me see you well, perfectly fine." Content orıginally comes from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱

That tender smile seemed to linger, his gaze involuntarily drawn to her hair.

Hua Xiaomo kept her head lowered, feeling somewhat uncomfortable as he gently held her face, but she didn’t stir.

Her thoughts, however, had already drifted away—not on other matters, but on how to keep persisting.

Certainly, she still needed to save enough energy to earn the money that was to come.

Suddenly, a wave of warm breath tickled her ear as he whispered, "I want to help you and your aunt move. Or perhaps you can move into my villa at Jinyin Shoal?"

"What? Move to your place?" Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaomo’s heart sank a bit. What kind of stunt was this? She really wanted to bring up the matter of their contract.

Had this guy lost his mind? What on earth was he thinking?

Their contract was nearly over, so what did he mean by suddenly bringing this up?

"Yes, move to my place, so I can take good care of you and your aunt. I’ll make sure you both live a very good life..." Qi Longbing smiled, gently stroking her head a few times with one hand. "Xiao Mo, are you happy?"

If being provided for could make her jump for joy and be full of life, then she wouldn’t be Hua Xiaomo.

Alright then, even if he wanted to provide for her, shouldn’t it depend on whether she agreed or not?

Hua Xiaomo gave a wry smile inwardly and took a deep breath before speaking after a while, "This seems very complicated. I want to rest for a few days before talking about it, President Qi. Please don’t rush."

"Fine, you do need to rest well. How about next month then? I’ll have someone come over to help you move next month?" Qi Longbing suggested, smiling tenderly at the person in his arms, completely immersed in his own bliss.

Hearing this made Hua Xiaomo sigh once again. "President Qi... can you please let me think about it?"

She was really about to faint! Why couldn’t the conversation ever stray from the topic of moving?

Her head really did ache...

"Hmm. Honey, don’t worry, I’ll give you plenty of time to think. What’s wrong now, do you have a headache? Come, get under the covers and rest for a bit," said Qi Longbing.

Hua Xiaomo turned her face away, her back to him, and closed her eyes without acknowledging him again. Forget it, I’ll just sleep. This guy will surely leave after a while.

Qi Longbing saw that there was still quite a bit of empty space beside her. He quickly and quietly took off his jacket and shoes, then sat beside her, still fully clothed.

"Don’t yell, okay? There are two uninvited guests outside! If you call them in, and if they see us , then... my innocence will be ruined..." Qi Longbing said with a look of mock grievance.

Hearing this, Hua Xiaomo’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Your innocence will be ruined?" Was there any logic to that?

"Sorry, I used the wrong word. It should be: the lifelong pristine reputation of the President of the Qi Family will be ruined by your hands, little devil," Qi Longbing said, smiling indulgently. His angelically handsome face was full of mirth as he affectionately stroked her hair.

At that moment, an indescribable feeling washed over Hua Xiaomo.

What was it? Indescribable, but she felt so peaceful...

Why, when facing him at this moment, could she also sense an indescribable tranquility? It was as if... as though Brother Long were beside her...

This feeling he evoked in her was truly perplexing. Things that had seemed merely annoying before she could pinpoint this sensation now felt... somewhat indescribable. Oh well, whatever it was, she didn’t have the mental energy to dwell on it now. She had to focus on earning a lot of money, and fast. She needed to earn enough to escape this awkward situation as soon as possible.
