Wherever you go, you are my salvation.
Adam immediately asked the chauffeur to turn on the exhaust fan.
The air in the car window instantly cleared a lot. He asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
Qiao Qiao pressed her hand against her chest, forcing herself to suppress the nausea. She took a few deep breaths, her small face deathly pale. She smiled apologetically at Adam. "I think I'm much better. I've made you worry."
Adam shook his head. He reached out his hand and placed it on Qiao Qiao's forehead, while his other hand touched his own forehead. He then breathed a sigh of relief. "It shouldn't be caused by a cold. Lilith, have you been too tired recently? If you're too tired, it's good to take this time to rest. Don't push yourself too hard."
"I don't have the time for that right now." Qiao Qiao shook her head. She supported her head with one hand and looked at the scenery flashing by outside the window. Her smile was a little cold. "That good brother of mine won't give me a chance to catch my breath. Now that I'm being bombarded by public opinion, he's probably very happy. It's not impossible for him to hit me when I'm down."
Qiao Qiao's words were not wrong.
Now that she had become the target of everyone's attacks, the happiest person was none other than Ravel.

"Your Highness, a total of 132 media companies have been ordered to stop promoting the relationship between Lilith and He Shaochen. The newspapers on the market have also been removed." Lacey stood behind Ravel and reported to him.
Ravel stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through the hexagon building, he could see the city's scenery in one glance.
After listening to Lacey's report, he disagreed. "If they want to block it, then let them block it. However, public opinion is like a virus. It's not so easy to eliminate it. However, we should still add fuel to the fire. I heard that in J Country, Lilith still has adoptive parents …"
Lacey immediately understood. She nodded and said, "I'll send someone to bring Lilith's adoptive parents over in a moment."
Ravel nodded. A strange look flashed past his eyes. "How are you going to deal with it? Lilith Lamperton Charlie? "
He muttered to himself for a while.
Ravel then remembered that Lacey was standing behind him. He turned around and hugged Lacey's neck in a few steps. He grinned and said, "It's been hard work. Let's go celebrate today. Lacey, where do you want to go?"
If it were any other woman would've been elated upon hearing Ravel's invitation.
Even Isabelle wouldn't have rejected him.
However, Lacey was obviously not an ordinary woman.
She lowered her head and looked at the schedule. Then, she pulled it out and placed it in front of Ravel. "Your Highness, you still have to meet Mr. Siber from Country E in the afternoon and have dinner with him in the evening. Also, you have made an appointment with the Count's daughter, Miss Siffrey, to watch a midnight movie together. The time is today. Please control the time during the dinner …" Ravel said.
. The corner of Ravel's mouth twitched.
He said coldly, "Can I cancel all these schedules?"
Lacey's eyes flashed coldly. "If you cancel all of them, I won't have any time to rest."
Ravel was speechless.
"Please don't increase my workload without permission, Your Highness. It will make things difficult for me."
Ravel had no objections.
The current executive was indeed very sharp.

Qiao Qiao had completely underestimated the level of gossip among the people. The relationship between her and He Shaochen had been spread like wildfire. As long as it was something that could be imagined, it would be made up by them without permission. In the end, it was completely unbearable.
It was obvious that Ravel had added fuel to the fire.
"Why did this happen? Your Highness, this is the price for your reckless actions! "Zachsis from the Elders' Home took this opportunity to question her.
He slammed a document on the desk and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I've advised you a long time ago not to have close contact with the He Clan, but you didn't listen. Now you've caused such a huge disturbance, and because of you, our Elder Courtyard has also been affected."
Qiao Qiao looked down at the report.
There was a joint letter from the members of parliament, asking Qiao Qiao to clarify the matter. There were also some extreme demonstrations by the people, asking her to clarify the matter.
"This is nothing more than a malicious slander. Everyone, don't take it too seriously," Qiaoqiao said in a light tone.
"Don't take it too seriously?"
Zachsis narrowed his eyes.
He bent down and leaned closer to Qiao Qiao, saying coldly, "Your Highness, do you still not know your current situation? Do you know about cyber-violence? Do you know the influence of public opinion on the people? If you can't solve this matter perfectly, your reputation will plummet. Don't talk about fighting for the throne, even if you go out, you will be looked down upon! To put it more seriously, after you lose your power, Ravel can crush you as easily as crushing a bug! "
Qiao Qiao looked at Zachsis without fear and smiled coldly, "Then what do you think? Your Highness? "
Zachsis stated his purpose for coming, "If you can't handle this matter well, the Elders' Home will take over your power. We will handle it for you."
Qiao Qiao heard this and sneered.
It sounded so nice, but in the end, they still wanted to seize power.
Adam stepped forward at this time, "Your Highness, this is His Highness' personal problem after all. It's just that some bored people brought it to the table to sow discord. If you are like those people …"
"Adam, as His Highness' executive officer, you are also His Highness' mirror. Now that such a scandal has been exposed, you can't absolve yourself from the blame. Now that things have come to this, don't you feel ashamed saying such things to me?" Zachsis' words were sharp.
Adam's face quickly darkened.
Their gazes met in the air, bursting into intense sparks.
"Your Highness, you don't need to make an example out of Adam. This matter was caused by me, so I will naturally remedy it."
Qiao Qiao said lightly.
"Empty words have no proof. The Elders' Home can't let this matter continue to develop. You must set a time limit. Three days, you must give me a result."
Zachsis said.
Three days, it was neither long nor short.
Adam originally planned to hold a public meeting after the public opinion died down, but Zachsis clearly didn't intend to give him this opportunity.
"Three days is too short. I don't have time to prepare. Ten days."
"Ten days? Your Highness Lilith, are you joking? Ten days is enough for public opinion to crush you! Seven days, it can't be longer! "Zachsis still took a step back.
Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows, "Okay."
Adam heard this and frowned, "Your Highness, if you do this …"
Qiao Qiao stopped Adam from objecting.
"It's fine." Qiao Qiao looked at Zachsis and said lightly, "Are you satisfied? Your Highness? "
Zachsis achieved his goal, so how could he not be satisfied? He revealed a sly smile, "I look forward to Your Highness' perfect solution to this problem."
After Zachsis left, Adam said worriedly, "Lilith, what do you plan to do now?"
Qiao Qiao shrugged, "Nothing."
The corner of Adam's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Qiao Qiao saw that Adam was speechless, so she gave him a relaxed smile, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Didn't I fight for seven days? There are so many of us, so we'll definitely be able to come up with a suitable solution. "
Now, even Adam admired Qiao Qiao for having such a good attitude.
He couldn't help but sigh and say, "Lilith, I think that during this period, you and Mr. He …"
"Aren't we going to the city for an inspection today? It's about time, right? Let's go. "Qiao Qiao interrupted him.
Adam, "…"
He looked deeply at Qiao Qiao and could only sigh helplessly in the end.
It seemed that it was impossible for her to cut off her relationship with He Shaochen.
Because of this incident, most of Qiao Qiao's itinerary was canceled, and several large-scale speech events were postponed. She stayed in the imperial palace and suddenly had nothing to do.
But Qiao Qiao's attitude was still good.
Even if the people outside scolded her, she would just stay in the house obediently. She would take this opportunity to read some books and recharge herself.
At night.
At around ten o 'clock, Qiao Qiao planned to turn off the lights and go to bed.
This was the first time she had slept so early since she revealed her identity.
Lying on the soft bed, she tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep.
She grabbed the blanket and covered her head. She rolled on the wide bed and thought about how to deal with the citizens' questions.
She didn't know that a black shadow had quietly sneaked in through the window and was slowly moving towards her.
And she was leaning against the window, biting the corner of the blanket and feeling annoyed.
When someone touched the edge of her bed, Qiao Qiao realized that something was wrong. She turned around and was instantly hugged by a black shadow.
Qiao Qiao was startled. She was about to call for help, but who knew that her mouth would be covered by the other party.
"Haha, silly girl, you can't even recognize your husband?" A low, husky and charming voice sounded. Qiao Qiao's body suddenly stiffened.
She took the other party's hand away and said in surprise, "He Shaochen …"
"Shh." He Shaochen pressed on Qiao Qiao's body with the blanket between them. He used his finger to cover her mouth and said in a low voice, "Do you want to attract all the guards here? If you get scolded for meeting your lover in the middle of the night, it will be terrible. "
Qiao Qiao blinked and then nodded. She held He Shaochen's finger. She didn't know why, but her originally gloomy mood was swept away when she saw He Shaochen.
It was as if she didn't need to be afraid even if the sky fell.
She also smiled and said, "He Shaochen, why are you here?"
"My princess is being bullied so miserably, so of course I have to come and protect her."
"Haha."
Her eyes curved with laughter.
"Shaochen, we really look like an adulterous couple having an affair."
What adulterous couple?
He Shaochen's mouth twitched. Who would say that about themselves?
He pinched Qiao Qiao's nose. "Silly girl, we are a legitimate sugar daddy and lover, not an adulterous couple. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes." Qiao Qiao nodded. She put her hand on He Shaochen's chest and said in a low voice, "Can you get up first? I can't breathe because of you!"
"Humph."
He Shaochen snorted and propped himself up. Qiao Qiao had just let out a sigh of relief when he pulled her into his arms. That warm touch made Qiao Qiao feel warm all over. She curled up in his arms and closed her eyes, enjoying this hard-won moment of peace.
He Shaochen sniffed her shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I feel like I haven't seen you for a century. I miss you."
Qiao Qiao heard this and spoiled the mood by correcting him, "Actually, we haven't even been apart for a week …"
He Shaochen lowered his head and glared at her. He pinched her cheeks in revenge and said angrily, "You wretched girl, can't you read the atmosphere?"
Qiao Qiao blinked and suddenly pounced on He Shaochen and hugged him back. She giggled and said, "Shaochen, actually, I miss you too."
He Shaochen was caught off guard and was pushed down by Qiao Qiao. The two of them rolled under the bed together.
"F * ck!"
He Shaochen could not help but curse out. The back of his head hit the ground and his eyes glowed. The culprit did not even realize it as she hugged him and rubbed against his chest and complained, "I've been so depressed these past few days. Everyone looks like they're watching a good show. I'm having a hard time right now. But with you here, I feel especially relieved."
He Shaochen had wanted to scold her. But after hearing Qiao Qiao's words, he knew that Qiao Qiao must have been having a hard time these past few days. Thus, his anger dissipated.
He gently caressed Qiao Qiao's silky long hair, his voice so gentle that it could make a person sick to death. He softly said, "You don't have to be on edge anymore. As long as I'm here, I won't let those people hurt you in the slightest."
He Shaochen's words were always inexplicably reassuring.
She leaned into his embrace and closed her eyes. She replied softly, "Shaochen, as long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything."
