He Shaochen's Temptation
"To be able to gain Joe Qiao's trust in just half a month, Mr. Adam is really capable." He Shaochen looked at Adam with a smile that was not a smile. The corners of his lips curled up slightly with a mocking smile.
"I feel extremely honored to be able to gain Her Highness Lilith's trust." Adam nodded, looking extremely fortunate.
He Shaochen sneered. "I'm curious. What method did Mr. Adam use to gain Joe Qiao's trust in such a short time? Did he use some evil means?"
"Mr. He, you've misunderstood me. How could I do something like that to Her Highness Lilith?" Adam had an innocent look on his face. There was a hint of treachery in his dark red eyes. "On the other hand, Mr. He, your current behavior is really puzzling. You've already decided to cut all ties with Her Highness Lilith and even signed the divorce agreement. Why are you still pestering her now?"
"My business has nothing to do with you."
"Then how I gained Princess Lilith's trust has nothing to do with Mr. He, right?"
The gazes of the two men fought in the air, as if sparks were about to be ignited.
He Shaochen took out a report from the table and read out Adam's information. "Adam Dexter Walker, son of a declining noble family in the western part of the J Country. Outstanding ability, with both integrity and talent. Appointed as the youngest permanent member of the Council of Elders. Deputy Speaker, this is your file in the Intelligence Bureau."
When Adam heard this, he raised his eyebrows. "Is there something wrong?"
"Ha." He Shaochen smiled coldly. "I've always trusted Family He's intelligence network. After their investigation, they found out that the so-called Adam Dexter Walker had died of an infectious disease when he was five years old. I'm very curious. How did the dead Mr. Adam stand in front of me alive and well? Could it be that the person in front of me is a ghost?"
Adam narrowed his eyes. A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "Mr. He, the person in front of you is not an illusory ghost."
He Shaochen nodded in agreement. He took elegant steps and walked towards Adam step by step. With a faint smile, he said, "Of course I know that the Mr. Adam in front of me is not a ghost. So I'm even more suspicious. How did the dead Adam Dexter Walker stand in front of me? Or is this not the real person at all?"
The smile on Adam's face disappeared. After hearing this, he laughed. "Mr. He, are you trying to say that I'm an impostor?"
"Are you not?"
"Then what do you want?"
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows. "I think that if I tell this to Joe Qiao, she will be disappointed in her most trusted executive officer. She trusted him so much, but he turned out to be a liar who can't even reveal his true identity."
"Ha, Mr. He is really capable. So the real purpose of bringing Her Highness Lilith here is me." Adam narrowed his eyes and asked, "But why does He Shaochen think that Her Highness Lilith will believe you and not me?"
He Shaochen's face gradually darkened. In an instant, the air around them seemed to have frozen.
Adam smiled. "It seems that Mr. He has really forgotten that Her Highness Lilith trusts me the most now. It's not good for you to drive a wedge between us like this, is it?"
He Shaochen was silent for a moment. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and a smile like that of the Grim Reaper descended.
"Adam Dexter Walker." He walked towards Adam and said each word clearly in his ear. "I hope that when Joe Qiao remembers everything, you can still maintain this confident smile."
When Qiao Qiao woke up from her nightmare, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.
This place was filled with He Shaochen's aura.
Was this his bedroom?
She pressed her head and recalled what had just happened.
When she was in the car just now, her head started to hurt again. Because it was too painful, she felt a piercing pain from the back of her neck to her brain. The next moment, she lost consciousness.
She touched the back of her neck. It still hurt a little.
"Ouch … He Shaochen, this bastard, is really ruthless." Qiao Qiao mumbled softly.
She got up from the bed and went out.
Hearing the movement from the side hall, Qiao Qiao walked towards the sound.
In the large side hall, a group of bodyguards surrounded the center so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Qiaoqiao was puzzled in her heart.
When she saw He Shaochen and Adam confronting each other, she was stunned.
"What are you doing?"
The two men turned around at the same time.
They saw Qiao Qiao standing not far away, looking at them suspiciously.
The ice on Adam's face immediately melted. He smiled innocently and said to Qiao Qiao, "Your Highness Lilith, you still have a lot of official business to deal with. I'm here to take you back."
Before Qiao Qiao could speak, He Shaochen's strong voice pierced through the air. He said, "My baby will stay with me in the embassy for a while. As for the documents you mentioned, please bring them over, Mr. Adam."
Qiao Qiao was furious when she heard this.
Did this bastard have to talk to himself like this?
Adam said coldly, "Mr. He, isn't this unreasonable? The documents Your Highness Lilith needs to deal with are state secrets. Leaving them in the embassy will only invite criticism. "
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows. "This is what Your Highness Lilith said herself."
With that, he walked towards Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao was about to explode. She glared at He Shaochen and said angrily, "When did I say that?"
He Shaochen walked over and put his arm around Qiao Qiao's slender waist. He smiled and said, "You said it in the car just now. Why? You don't remember it after sleeping? Baby, your memory is getting worse and worse. "
"Baby, what the hell!" Qiao Qiao had goosebumps all over her body. She defended herself. "In the car, I only promised to accompany you during this period …"
"You also said that you would accompany me. If you don't come to the embassy, what kind of accompany is that?"
Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I'm a prostitute?"
"Shh." He Shaochen pressed his finger against Qiao Qiao's lips and whispered in her ear, "Although I don't mind you being a prostitute, you should pay more attention to your princess image in front of so many people. If there's anything you want to say, we can talk in private."
Qiao Qiao didn't think that what she said was inappropriate, but after He Shaochen said that, she felt very embarrassed.
She was about to speak when He Shaochen's seductive voice sounded again. He was like a demon who had committed a crime. He whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Baby, the promise to accompany me for a week is still valid. Anyway, I won't be staying here for long, but you can gain a lot. I promise that I won't interfere with your work. As long as you stay by my side for these few days, it's fine. For you, this is a win-win deal, right?"
Qiao Qiao was speechless.
Although it was very shameless, she was swayed.
This sounded like a very good deal.
It would do her every advantage and no harm.
"You are a smart person. Since you want the throne, you have to pay a price. You should have this awareness, right?" He Shaochen continued to try and disturb her mood.
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and said to Adam, "Adam, you can send the official documents to the embassy."
"Your Highness Lilith, this will cause dissatisfaction among the citizens." Adam saw He Shaochen's victorious smile and couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Adam, you don't have to worry about this. Since I'm doing this, I won't let public opinion affect her. You just have to be obedient." He Shaochen blocked all possibilities in Adam's words.
Adam was speechless.
He Shaochen smiled like a cunning fox and said, "My embassy is a bit small, I don't have extra rooms for Mr. Adam."
Liar!
There were clearly many empty rooms here!
Qiao Qiao glared at He Shaochen with dissatisfaction. This bastard, he was clearly deliberately sending Adam away. He had bad intentions!
He Shaochen covered her mouth and said to Adam, "Since my darling still has so many documents to complete, Mr. Adam, you shouldn't stay here any longer. Hurry back and bring those documents over. Don't let my darling wait for too long. "
"Mmm mmm …"
Qiao Qiao glared at He Shaochen fiercely, but he didn't even look in her direction.
Adam only looked at them deeply and then nodded. "I understand. Your Highness Lilith, please wait for a moment. I'll ask someone to bring those documents over."
With that, he turned and left.
