The broken door lay on the floor, and only the man's heavy breathing could be heard in the room.
Xin Qing was tied to the head of the bed, and her wrists were already scratched. She bit the pillow in her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud.
Ying Qingcang still didn't look well. When he regained his senses, he looked up and saw Xin Qing's hands. The bruises and scratches on her hands shocked him.
"Are … are you okay?" His voice was still hoarse from the aftermath.
Xin Qing didn't move and let him untie her. Ying Qingcang saw Xin Qing's face. Her face was full of tears, and her lips were bitten. His heart was beating fast. He wanted to touch her, but his hand stopped in mid-air. Silently, he covered Xin Qing with the blanket. Then, he walked to the door and lifted the broken door. Then, he left without saying a word.
When Xin Qing woke up, she felt as if her whole body was falling apart. She looked at her watch in a daze and was glad that it was Saturday. Then she cursed Ying Qingcang and fell asleep again.
"Young Master, Miss is still not awake." This was the fifth time that Uncle Fu reported the situation to Ying Qingcang. Ying Qingcang sat in the living room with a frown. "Why is she still not awake?" He looked at the time. "Is she sick again?"
"No, I secretly checked on her. She just fell asleep and didn't wake up." Auntie Tian looked at her young master sympathetically. Since you care about her so much, you shouldn't have quarreled last night!
Ying Qingcang thought for a while, stood up and walked upstairs. Halfway up, he turned back and walked out of the house. "When she wakes up, ask someone to fix the door.
"Yes, Young Master." Uncle Fu saw that he was about to go out, and said, "Be careful on the road." Ying Qingcang had wanted to withdraw his foot, but he had no choice but to step out. He didn't forget to glare at Uncle Fu.
The entire Ying clan building was shrouded in a heavy and strange atmosphere today.
"Have you heard? Clean up the entire finance department. Everyone's bonuses will be deducted for three months. "
"It's not just the finance department. The head of the publicity department has been transferred out. I don't even know when he'll be back!"
"The higher-ups all said that President Ying looked like he wanted to eat them alive during the meeting."
"How scary. Luckily, I'm not high enough to hold a meeting."
A few employees were muttering about today's big incident in the lounge. In conclusion, their President Ying must be on his period. He was in a bad mood and kept strangers away.
Others could hide, but Anam couldn't. He was standing in front of Ying Qingcang's desk with a serious face.
"Call home and see if she's awake," Ying Qingcang said as he threw another document on the floor.
Anam quickly picked it up and said, "I hit her five minutes ago. She hasn't woken up yet."
"That was before. Now, five minutes have passed." Ying Qingcang said coldly.
"I'll do it right away." Anam quickly left and dialed the number at the door. After asking, he quickly came back in. "Young Master, the young miss is awake."
Ying Qingcang's expression relaxed. He casually flipped open a document and thought for a moment. "Call home later and ask if she's eaten."
"Yes, I'll call in five minutes."
"What five minutes? Why are you in such a hurry? "
Anam walked out of the office feeling wronged. He bumped into Childe Shen who was about to come in.
"What's going on?" Childe Shen asked quietly.
Anam made a throat-slitting gesture. Childe Shen understood.
Ying Qingcang saw him come in and asked angrily, "Who let you in? Did you knock? "
"Haha..." Young Master Shen's lips twitched into a smile. "Ying Qingcang, oh Ying Qingcang, you should go look at yourself in the mirror. Your face is so dark that it can't be looked at."
"Since someone doesn't want to know about the man who was with Xiao Qingqing yesterday, I won't disturb you." Childe Shen said as he prepared to go out.
"Stop." Ying Qingcang shouted. Childe Shen turned his head and winked at him. He poured himself a glass of red wine and sat back. "Didn't I tell you to have a good talk? Don't misunderstand. Why did you mess it up again?"
Ying Qingcang didn't want to explain to him. He asked directly, "Who is that man?"
"His name is Chen Ming." Childe Shen threw a few pieces of paper to him. "He grew up with Xiao Qingqing. Later, he went abroad to study. In other words, this Chen Ming is Xiao Qingqing's childhood sweetheart! "
What a shitty childhood sweetheart. Ying Qingcang curled his lip and frowned as he looked down at the information. "Chen Mu Sheng … is the Provincial Secretary of B Province?"
"That's right. Chen Ming is his youngest son." Childe Shen pointed to the information. "This Chen Ming doesn't like politics. He has already registered an electronic products company in S City. It looks like he wants to come back and expand."
"Young Master!" Anam stuck his head out. "Uncle Fu said that Miss Xin has already eaten."
Ying Qingcang nodded. Childe Shen suddenly asked, "Do you know what day it was yesterday?"
"The night of the full moon." Ying Qingcang certainly wouldn't forget such a day.
Childe Shen looked as if he had expected it. "Yesterday was Xiao Qingqing's birthday."
…
After a moment of silence, Ying Qingcang got up and rushed out.
Xin Qing hung up on Zhang Mi's call and made an appointment to have dinner together that night. They had stayed up too late last night and didn't get to eat the birthday cake. Her two best friends insisted on making it up to her.
"Lele, is it delicious?" Xin Qing looked at the little dog, who was panting as he gnawed on a bone that looked like a cake. She patted his head. "In the future, you and I will share the same birthday. I didn't have time to celebrate with you yesterday, so I'll make it up to you today."
Xin Qing's smile slowly faded. She remembered that around this time last year, her mother had cooked longevity noodles for her and they had gone to Disneyland to play for a day. But it had only been a year. Those days could only be buried in the memories. In the future, no one would cook longevity noodles for her and hug her on her birthday and wish her a happy birthday …
Ying Qingcang rushed home and saw Xin Qing sitting on the windowsill. The sun shone on her face, but it still couldn't hide her red and swollen eyes. Her hands slowly stroked Lele's body. The marks on her wrists made Ying Qingcang feel ashamed. He quietly walked over and stood behind her. The shadows of the two people were projected on the floor, and they looked so harmonious.
Xin Qing soon found him. She moved her body and stood a little farther away. Seeing that the snuggling shadows were separated, Ying Qingcang felt a little regretful inexplicably.
"Does it still hurt?"
Xin Qing glanced at him and shook her wrist. "It doesn't hurt."
Ying Qingcang was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her say, "It doesn't hurt. Let me try to tie you up."
… I don't mind if you tie me up. Ying Qingcang was shocked. How could he have such an idea? Shaking his head, he said to Xin Qing, "Can we have a good talk?"
Xin Qing didn't say anything. She put Lele down and walked to the sofa and sat down.
Ying Qingcang quickly walked to her. "First of all, I apologize to you." He said sincerely. Seeing Xin Qing's surprised eyes, he quickly looked away. He had prepared how to apologize, but when Xin Qing looked at him, he lost his courage.
Xin Qing muttered in her heart, "What's wrong with this man …"
"His name is Chen Ming. He's my neighbor since I was a child. I haven't seen him since he went abroad for several years. Yesterday at the KTV, he helped me drive away two drunkards. We met by chance. "Xin Qing didn't look at him. She just said what she wanted to explain yesterday.
She didn't want to say it at first. She hated Ying Qingcang for what he did to her last night. But when she thought of his terrible appearance last night, she couldn't help but shiver. It was better to explain it clearly. Otherwise, she and Chen Ming might not even be able to see each other in the future.
Just like the results of the investigation, Ying Qingcang felt relieved for some reason. Then he asked, "Are you two childhood sweethearts? Do you like him? "
"We just grew up together. I treat him as an older brother." Xin Qing stared at him. She didn't know why he asked this.
Ying Qingcang stared at her for a long time. Xin Qing was scared by his stare. She quickly said, "Don't worry. I won't have any physical contact with him anymore."
"Ahem …" Ying Qingcang's expression was a little uncomfortable. His voice lowered. "No, I didn't mean that."
He wanted to say, "I don't think you're dirty." But Xin Qing didn't understand at all. She didn't want to understand. When she got up in the morning, she wanted to kill Ying Qingcang. Later, she took a shower and calmed down. Indeed, during this period of comfortable interaction, she forgot about the relationship between them. She signed the agreement and sold herself to Ying Qingcang. It was natural for him to treat her like this. After this incident, she once again knew her place. For her own good, she couldn't make Ying Qingcang so angry like yesterday.
"I have something to do at the company. I'll leave first." Ying Qingcang stood up. Xin Qing also stood up. But she saw that he didn't move for a long time.
"Do you have anything else to do?" She asked tentatively.
Ying Qingcang shook his head and strode to the door. Finally, when he opened the door, he said, "Happy birthday." Then, before Xin Qing could react, he closed the door and left.
He came back to say happy birthday to her? After a long time, Xin Qing finally reacted. Then she quickly denied it. She didn't believe that he would be so polite.
When Ying Qingcang returned to the Ying clan building, Childe Shen was still lying on the sofa. When he saw him come back, he said in surprise, "So fast? I thought you were going to treat Xiao Qingqing to dinner! "
Ying Qingcang ignored him. On the way back, he called Uncle Fu and told him that he had arranged dinner. He was going to celebrate Xin Qing's birthday with Xin Qing. But he learned that Xin Qing already had an appointment with a friend. He immediately thought of Chen Ming. So, he told Ah Chul to see who Xin Qing was with when he sent her to dinner and inform him immediately.
Even if they couldn't have dinner together, he should at least give her a gift. Ying Qingcang thought. Finally, he noticed Childe Shen.
"What will she like if I give her?"
Childe Shen shrugged. "Diamonds, jewelry, and famous brands! Women like these things. "
Ying Qingcang suspected that Xin Qing didn't wear the watch he gave her before.
"It depends on the purpose of giving a gift." Childe Shen began to educate him. "Take me for example. I give gifts to women to coax them into sleeping with me. What do you want by giving Xiao Qingqing a gift? "
What do I want? Ying Qingcang frowned. Xin Qing was his. She would sleep with him. What was the purpose? He thought about it carefully. Because he misunderstood Xin Qing yesterday, and yesterday was her birthday. So, he gave her a gift today to express his apology. Yes, that was it.
Ying Qingcang explained the reason and then pulled Childe Shen away. "Come with me to choose a gift."
Childe Shen looked at the excited man in front of him speechlessly. What will you do in the future if you are so slow to realize it?
