Provoke conflict
Qiao Qiao nodded, then lowered her head and said to Lacey, "Lacey, we're saved."
Lacey tried her best to open her eyes and saw the sunlight shining in bit by bit, as well as the figure that flashed past. She suddenly felt that even if she died like this, it would be considered a blessing.
Tears silently flowed from the corners of her eyes. She closed her eyes and used all her strength to say, "Thank you, thank you, Your Highness Lilith …"
If it wasn't for this person, she wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
Qiao Qiao also felt lucky to have survived a disaster. She sighed, "Just because of your thanks, I have to save you."
Compared to searching aimlessly, now that they had found Qiao Qiao's specific location, the rescue team gathered here and began to rescue her. Soon, the obstacles above were cleared.
He Shaochen was the first to jump down. Before Qiao Qiao could react, she was already in his arms.
The powerful collision caused Qiao Qiao to stagger and almost lose her balance.
"Shaochen …"
Qiao Qiao leaned into He Shaochen's embrace and called out to him softly.
"Idiot! Didn't I tell them to be careful? Why is this happening again?! "
He Shaochen scolded.
This had always been his style. When Qiao Qiao was in danger, he would definitely yell at her after she was out of danger. However, this was just to hide the fear in his heart. Qiao Qiao had been with him for so long that she had long known his true thoughts. She comforted him and then let go of He Shaochen.
"Wait, there are still people here who need treatment."
He Shaochen then saw the heavily injured Lacey.
"What's wrong with that woman?"
He Shaochen didn't have any grudges against Lacey, but because she was in Ravel's camp, he didn't treat her well.
"It's a long story."
It was clear that saving lives was more important. Qiaoqiao shouted at the people above, "Hurry up and call the medical team! There are people here who need emergency treatment! "
"Why do we have to save this woman?" He Shaochen frowned.
Qiaoqiao said casually, "Don't tell me you want me to watch you die and not save you?"
"It's best if that kind of person dies." He Shaochen sneered.
Anyone who harmed Qiao Qiao in this world was one less person.
Qiao Qiao, to warn him that there were people here and to watch his words.
When Ravel saw the severely injured Lacey, the blood drained from his face. After Qiaoqiao told Ravel the whole story, Ravel's expression softened a little. He looked at Qiaoqiao and then bowed deeply to Qiaoqiao.
Qiao Qiao was shocked by Ravel's actions.
Ravel said solemnly, "Lilith, thank you for helping Lacey today. I owe you a favor. No matter what happens in the future, I won't forget your kindness today."
Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows and said half-jokingly, "Then you'll give the throne to me?"
Ravel heard this and chuckled awkwardly. "Sorry, I really can't make the decision."
If the royal family could make their own decisions, they probably wouldn't be in such a situation now.
Qiao Qiao thought about it and also felt that she was dreaming. She said, "I'll accept this favor. I'll get it back from you later."
She saw that although Ravel was at the scene, he seemed to be in a daze. She knew that his heart was with Lacey, so she said, "If you don't mind me taking away your credit, I'll host the scene. You can go find your executive officer. She should need you now."
Ravel paused and looked at Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao shrugged. "Of course, if you don't mind, I don't have a problem with you staying."
Ravel smiled bitterly. "It seems that I'll owe you another favor."
However, Lacey was seriously injured and he was absent-minded at the moment, so he nodded. "Thank you very much for today, Lilith."
After saying goodbye to Qiao Qiao, he got into the car and chased after Lacey in the ambulance.
Qiao Qiao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ravel leave. She didn't die today. Not only did she have the chance to negotiate with Duke Kruje, but she also made Ravel owe her a favor. It would be even better if the one billion yuan that He Shaochen squandered could be written off because of this incident.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw He Shaochen looking at her with a complicated expression. That pitiful look softened her heart.
Before she could say anything, He Shaochen picked her up by the waist.
Qiao Qiao was shocked. "He Shaochen, what are you doing?"
He Shaochen's voice was a little cold. He said indifferently, "You're injured too. Didn't you notice?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned.
The piercing pain from her ankle made her face turn pale. She had been so nervous that she had forgotten about the pain. Now that He Shaochen said that, the pain that she had been suppressing subconsciously gradually came back.
This reflected arc that broke through the sky …
She had been badly injured just now. It was fortunate that the child was fine.
Qiao Qiao felt pain all over her body. He Shaochen's safe arms made her relax instantly. The pain stimulated the center of her brain, and tears were about to come out of her eyes.
He Shaochen's voice came from above her head. "If you want to cry, cry in my arms."
Qiao Qiao's eyes widened abruptly. Then, she slowly regained her composure.
She pursed her lips and grabbed the corner of He Shaochen's collar. She buried her head in his chest and whispered, "Shaochen, I was really scared. I thought I was going to die just now. The building suddenly collapsed, the ground under my feet shattered, and I fell into the basement. That's not all. I thought that I would die just like that, and I wouldn't even get to see you for the last time. When I think of that, I'm scared to death. Now my whole body hurts so much that I'm about to cry."
"I'm sorry that I didn't protect you well …"
He Shaochen's voice was deep and hoarse.
Qiao Qiao shook her head. She snuggled deeper into He Shaochen's arms. She choked out, "It has nothing to do with you. No one expected this …"
Qiao Qiao still couldn't forget the voice of the man who had spoken to Lacey.
So cold.
So ruthless.
Every time she recalled it, she felt as though her heart was about to explode.
Fear filled her heart.
He Shaochen brought Qiao Qiao to a tent that had been set up in an emergency. There were many medical facilities inside. He skillfully bandaged Qiao Qiao's wounds and applied ointment on her ankle. Everything looked so peaceful and peaceful. In this small enclosed space, she was alone with He Shaochen. Qiao Qiao's heart relaxed.
Only when she was with this man would she feel safe.
Qiao Qiao was about to talk to He Shaochen about what she had just encountered when the tent's curtains were pulled open. A ray of sunlight shone in.
The blonde Adam came in with the sunlight.
His slender hair looked like flowing gold under the sunlight. It was mesmerizing, but his face was covered with frost.
Qiao Qiao was actually a little embarrassed when she saw Adam. Adam had advised her not to come out, but she had insisted. In the end, she had encountered such a mess. She must have added a lot of work to Adam.
Just as she was still thinking about how to greet Adam, Adam walked over and threw a punch at He Shaochen. He Shaochen didn't seem to have any intention of defending himself. He took the punch and was knocked to the ground.
Qiao Qiao was shocked. She looked at Adam in surprise and said angrily, "Adam! What are you doing? "
She stood up, endured the discomfort in her feet, and went to help He Shaochen. She was worried. "Shaochen, are you okay?"
He Shaochen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said indifferently, "I'm fine."
But when she saw the bright red blood, Qiao Qiao couldn't stay calm.
She recalled the innocent people who had been shot by the silver-masked man. Blood flowed all over the ground. Her heart was suddenly filled with indescribable disgust and disgust. Her emotions became fierce. She looked at Adam angrily and asked, "Adam, what are you doing? Why did you hit people? "
Adam's dark red eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent. His gaze was cold. He said coldly, "Shouldn't I hit someone who put you in such a dangerous situation?"
"This has nothing to do with He Shaochen! It was just an accident. No one wanted it to be like this. "
Qiao Qiao retorted.
Adam's eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames. He looked deeply at Qiao Qiao and said, "No matter what the reason is, the fact is that he put you in danger! If it wasn't for this man forcing you out, would you have encountered such a situation? Lilith, you can't ignore this fact just because he is the man you love! He will put you in danger! "
Adam couldn't count how many times He Shaochen had caused Qiao Qiao to be involved in disputes and almost lose her life. He could forgive it once, he could forgive it twice. But what about the third time or the fourth time?
He definitely couldn't allow a scourge to stay by Lilith's side!
Never!
However, in Qiaoqiao's eyes, Adam's actions were somewhat unreasonable. Her face was extremely gloomy as she said word by word, "Could this be an excuse to casually beat people up? Adam, I order you to apologize to He Shaochen right now! "
Adam was stunned. He looked at Qiao Qiao with astonishment and muttered, "Lilith, have you been blinded by love? You want me to apologize? "
"You did something wrong, why can't you apologize? Adam, I order you to apologize to He Shaochen right now! "
This was the first time Qiao Qiao used her status as a princess to pressure Adam.
The two of them faced off for a long time. In the end, Adam was the first to compromise.
His eyes flashed with a trace of sadness. He couldn't help giving a bitter smile. He placed his right hand on his chest and bowed, "I understand your highness. I won't overstep my boundaries again in the future."
Then he looked at He Shaochen and gave him a bow. He respectfully said, "Mr He, please forgive my rudeness. I was blinded by anger just now."
But this time, He Shaochen didn't argue with Adam. He only lightly said, "I deserved that punch. This matter was indeed caused by me. Even if you hit me harder, I won't complain. A mistake is a mistake. I, He Shaochen, don't need to be protected."
The last sentence was said to Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She suddenly felt embarrassed.
She clenched her fists. She also knew that her reaction just now was a bit too intense.
Because she had encountered too many unexpected situations, her emotions were unstable. This led to her venting her emotions on others. This behavior was very childish.
She stole a glance at him, but Adam looked away. His voice was filled with helplessness as he said, "There are still people in the building who haven't been rescued, right? I'll go check on the situation. Your highness has just been frightened. Please hurry back to the palace. "
"Adam …"
Qiao Qiao stopped him.
Adam's feet stopped.
Qiao Qiao lowered her head like a student who had made a mistake. She said, "I'm sorry. I was too emotional just now. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Adam turned around and smiled at Qiao Qiao. As usual, he said, "Your highness, let me remind you. I'm just a small executive. You're a noble princess. You don't need to apologize to me."
He had already used honorifics. It was obvious that he was angry.
Qiaoqiao scratched her head in frustration. Why did she feel like she was in a terrible state?
