CHAPTER 21
Rather break than yield
Qiao Qiao felt as if all the blood in her body had been sucked dry, and a chill gushed out from the bottom of her heart.
What did he say?
Be his woman?
Her first reaction was that there was something wrong with this person's head!
"Impossible!" There was no need to think too much about it. Qiaoqiao rejected without a second thought.
Without a doubt, this angered He Shaochen once again. His eyes darkened as he asked in a deep voice, "I dare you to say that again."
Qiao Qiao was afraid, but she forced herself to look at He Shaochen and said word by word, "I'm sorry, I don't intend to be your mistress."
"Oh?" He Shaochen didn't smile at all. "Are you sure?"
Qiao Qiao nodded seriously. "I'm sure."
He Shaochen let go of her as soon as she finished speaking. Qiao Qiao felt relieved. She quickly wrapped her body in the thin quilt and tried to get as far away from He Shaochen as she was afraid that he would do something shocking again.
Qiao Qiao hurriedly picked up the clothes on the floor. They were still a little wet, but it didn't matter. She thought He Shaochen had seen through her attitude and decided to let her go. However, before she could relax, she saw him put on his nightgown and get out of bed. He walked to the TV cabinet, picked up a document, and waved it in front of Qiao Qiao. "So you don't want this document either?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned. When she saw the cover of the document, her small face suddenly turned pale. Because she was not wearing any clothes, she could only be trapped on the bed. She was burning with anxiety. "That's mine."
"I found it in my house."
"I dropped it in your house!" Qiao Qiao said anxiously. It was an important document that Professor Xu had given to her.
"Oh … do you have any evidence?" He Shaochen casually flipped open the document and his eyes quickly skimmed through it. Qiao Qiao's eyes almost turned red when she saw it. "That's an undisclosed research project. You're not allowed to look at it!"
He Shaochen looked up from the document and fixed his eyes on Qiao Qiao's face. "Then you'll be my woman."
"No way!" Qiao Qiao flatly refused.
"Then I'll keep this document." He Shaochen's tone was indifferent, but there was an irresistible force.
Qiao Qiao was so angry that her whole body was trembling. This was the first time she had seen such a shameless man. He took her things for himself and then came to negotiate with her. What kind of world was this?
After a moment of silence, Qiao Qiao suppressed her agitated emotions and spoke calmly to He Shaochen, "Mr He, there's one thing that you might be mistaken about. This document is indeed very important to me, but I don't think it's necessary to sell my soul for a document. You can have the document, but please don't do anything that infringes on it. The results on the document belong to our Lan Emperor Scientific Research Institute. If you openly challenge the authority of Lan Emperor University, it will surely affect your reputation."
He Shaochen's brows furrowed together. What did she mean by selling her soul?
Did this woman feel that it was shameful to be his woman?
He Shaochen's eyes darkened. With an insufferably arrogant look, he looked down at Qiao Qiao, who was confronting him. He raised his voice and said, "Then you can give it a try. Let's see if I, He Shaochen, am afraid of Lan Emperor. But you, on the other hand, casually leaked an undisclosed research project to others. Do you think those people will come to me to strike a rock with an egg or to bully a pushover like you?"
"You!"
Qiao Qiao was so angry that she couldn't speak. If He Shaochen really turned the tables on her, she would be accused of leaking research secrets and her life would be over.
Qiao Qiao was terrified. Why did she have to encounter such a situation?
