Put on a 1 billion dollar necklace for her
"Shaochen, why are you here?" Qiao Qiao was surprised by He Shaochen's sudden appearance.
He Shaochen was expressionless, but his dark eyes were cold. He had seen Qiao Qiao's interaction with Phillips. His heart was throbbing with pain, and he felt like he had nowhere to vent his anger. He had even specially warned Qiao Qiao, but in her eyes, it meant nothing. She still insisted on getting close to that Phillips.
He Shaochen did not say anything, but his gaze was like a knife scraping her body. Qiao Qiao immediately sensed that something was wrong. She walked over and before she even got close, she could smell the alcohol coming from the other party. Her stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she could not help but frown. Qiao Qiao suddenly remembered that when she called He Shaochen, he had said that he was at a nightclub.
Was he hanging out with those rich young masters?
Or the kind with many female companions?
"How much did you drink at the nightclub?" Qiao Qiao asked again.
He Shaochen was a little drunk. His gaze was as cold as ice, and he did not answer the question. "Qiao Qiao, how much of my words did you take to heart?"
Hearing his unfriendly tone, Qiao Qiao was even more certain that this person was here to cause trouble.
She looked around and saw that there were many people around. She walked over to support him and said indifferently, "If you have anything to say, let's talk inside. This is a public place."
He Shaochen flung her hand away. With a cold face, he sneered. "So you also know that this is a public place? Then when you were being so intimate with that Phillips, did you think that this is a public place? Qiao Qiao, before you do anything, can you use your brain a little?! "
His voice was not loud, but every word was like a knife stabbing into Qiao Qiao's heart. She clenched her fists tightly and tried to keep herself calm. "I don't want to fight with you here. If you still have any sense, then come in with me."
"You never listen to me, so why should I listen to you? Qiao Qiao, don't go too far! "
He Shaochen's heart was filled with anger. The scene of Phillips putting clothes on Qiao Qiao had simply burned his eyes.
How could she accept the good intentions of a man who had only met her for less than a day without any ill feelings? He Shaochen was now very suspicious that Qiao Qiao had been brainwashed.
He grabbed Qiao Qiao's arm and forcefully pulled her in front of him. He questioned, "Qiao Qiao, tell me honestly. Did they brainwash you again? Otherwise, why are you acting like a fool? "
Fool?
When Qiao Qiao heard these words, she started to get angry.
Who was the one who was bullying her? He shouted at her in public without distinguishing right from wrong. It was said that drunk people were irrational. Now, Qiao Qiao agreed with this saying. If she had really been brainwashed by Phillips, would she know that she had been brainwashed? Moreover, as someone who had experienced it before, she was very sure that she had not been brainwashed.
He Shaochen grabbed Qiao Qiao's arm with great force. It was so forceful that it was as if he would only be satisfied if he crushed her shoulder. Qiao Qiao sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain. She did not argue with He Shaochen. Instead, she winked at Adam, who had walked behind He Shaochen. Adam quickly stepped forward and knocked He Shaochen unconscious with a karate chop.
He Shaochen's body leaned forward, and Qiao Qiao hurried forward to support him.
He Shaochen was tall and nearly 1.9 meters tall. All his weight was on Qiao Qiao. She staggered and almost lost her balance.
Adam also hurried to help Qiao Qiao support He Shaochen. He said apologetically, "Lilith, I should have told you when Mr. He came, but he kept stopping me, so …"
"It's okay. I know He Shaochen's temper very well. You don't have to blame yourself."
Qiao Qiao said calmly.
Her eyes were slightly red. He Shaochen reeked of alcohol. She really didn't know what he was doing in A Country. Even if she were to ask him now, he would definitely talk back to her without saying a word.
This bastard, did he even think about her feelings?
She helped He Shaochen to her bedroom. Qiao Qiao took off his shoes and helped him onto the bed.
Adam saw Qiao Qiao's hair soaked with sweat and said, "Lilith, let the servants take care of Mr. He."
Qiao Qiao sat by the bed and looked down at He Shaochen's sleeping face. She shook her head and said, "No, let me take care of him. Ask someone to bring a basin of water."
Her words were very calm, but there was a trace of unquestionable strength in them.
Adam's dark red eyes flashed with an unreadable glint. He clenched his fists, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Lilith, it's my fault for leaving you alone in the hotel. I'm willing to accept any punishment."
"You came back to help me with work. Why should I punish you?" Qiao Qiao asked in reply.
Adam's eyes drifted. "… But I said that I won't leave you alone."
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. It's not a big deal anyway. Phillips is not an enemy. It's good for me to lie there and rest for a while. At least I feel much more energetic, don't I?"
Adam clenched his fists and could not say a word.
"Hey, Adam, can I ask you something?" Qiao Qiao asked again.
Adam looked up and looked at Qiao Qiao seriously.
Qiao Qiao also looked up at him. Her eyes were very serious as she asked word by word, "Adam, Phillips is not an enemy, right?"
From the looks of it, Qiao Qiao could not tell that Phillips was hostile to her. However, He Shaochen had a very bad impression of Phillips, which could not be separated from his sudden appearance. Everyone knew that there must be something wrong when things were out of the ordinary. When He Shaochen woke up later, they would definitely argue about this matter again.
Therefore, Qiao Qiao had to ask the key person in this matter, Adam.
Adam was like her guardian angel. When they were outside, no matter what happened, he would not leave her. However, this time, he left her alone with Phillips. If it were not for her complete trust, Qiao Qiao did not believe that Adam would do such a thing. Therefore, she asked again seriously, "Phillips is not an enemy, right?"
Every word was a question to Adam's loyalty.
Adam suddenly recalled what Phillips had said before. "If you dare to mention money in front of Lilith and reveal any information about the J Organisation, she will lose her inheritance rights. Don't try to hide anything from me. If you give yourself away, you won't be able to bear the consequences. Don't forget how Lilith's parents died …"
The scene in his mind changed.
Adam seemed to see the scene of Rovino's family dying in a car accident again.
Even someone as powerful as Rovino could not escape the clutches of the J Organisation. He could not risk Lilith again.
"Phillips is not our enemy." Adam's eyes were covered by the shadows and his emotions could not be seen.
"… Oh."
Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes. Before she could say anything, Adam walked over and knelt in front of Qiao Qiao with one knee. He placed his right hand on his chest and swore, "Lilith, I swear to you that I will protect you with my life."
His persistence moved Qiao Qiao.
A smile finally appeared on Qiaoqiao's face. She nodded and said, "Adam, I believe you."

He Shaochen slept very well.
Originally, he was feeling uncomfortable all over, but he kept feeling that someone was constantly taking care of him. Slender fingers brushed across his body, dispelling all the heat in his body. It was very comfortable. Gradually, he fell into a deeper dream.
Qiao Qiao wrung the towel dry and carefully helped He Shaochen wipe his body.
She leaned against him and quietly looked at his sleeping face. He Shaochen was unreasonable just now, but now she couldn't be angry. It was really not easy for her to be with He Shaochen. They had survived so many difficulties, so there was no reason to fall out here.
Qiao Qiao reached out to poke He Shaochen's cheek and whispered, "He Shaochen, will you die if you stop being so overbearing?"
Of course, no one answered her.
Once it was quiet, Qiao Qiao was a little sleepy. Although she had just slept, because she was pregnant, she could not change her sleepiness for the time being.
Her eyes opened and closed, and in the end, she leaned against He Shaochen's side and fell asleep.
When He Shaochen woke up, he had a terrible headache. As soon as he turned around, he saw Qiao Qiao sleeping quietly. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed the basin and soaked towel by the side. When he fainted, was she taking care of him?
Her breathing was shallow, and her brows were slightly furrowed. It looked like she was not sleeping well.
He Shaochen reached out and wanted to touch her, but when he thought of Qiao Qiao and Phillips, he changed his touch to a revenge pinch.
This damn woman was really going to anger him to death.
But why couldn't he be cruel to her?
This time, he could not be soft-hearted. He had to teach her a lesson.
He unknowingly increased the strength of his hand. Because of the stimulation of pain, Qiao Qiao woke up with a start. She saw He Shaochen sitting on the bed and had just released his hand from pinching her face. He looked at her like a boss and said, "Are you a pig? You slept for so long? "
Qiao Qiao was speechless.
Who was going to help her beat this bastard to death?
Qiao Qiao said unhappily, "Speak human language!"
"Qiao Qiao, you better give me a good explanation for what happened before!"
He Shaochen cut to the chase.
Qiao Qiao pressed her burning cheek and said with a frown, "Phillips is the new chairman of the Elders' Institute. Most of my power now depends on the Elders' Institute. I have to build a good relationship with him."
"Then do you want to go out with him for a meal?"
"What's wrong with having a meal?" Qiao Qiao asked back. She stared at He Shaochen and said angrily, "Only you are allowed to party in the nightclub. I don't even have the right to have a meal with someone else?"
"There's something wrong with that man!"
"At least he hasn't shown any hostility to me. I need his power now!"
He Shaochen heard Qiao Qiao's words and directly slapped the back of her head. Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up. Before she could retaliate, she heard He Shaochen say, "Qiao Qiao, are you a pig? Don't you know how to ask for my help? Why do you have to rely on the Elders' Institute? Be careful not to be betrayed by others! "
Qiao Qiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She angrily stared at the other party and said, "He Shaochen, you are the pig brain. I relied on He Clan to ascend to the throne and relied on the Elders' Institute to ascend to the throne. These are two completely different things, okay? This is J Country! Not A Country, where you can do whatever you want! "
Relying on the Elders' Institute was a family matter in J Country. Relying on He Clan was akin to betraying the country for glory. That kind of influence was completely different.
Even if He Shaochen's original intention was to help her, this kind of power that could shake a country's royal family, even he couldn't easily use it, right? Even if he could use it, there would definitely be many restrictions, and he might even have to pay a price that she couldn't imagine. She didn't want to rely on He Shaochen for everything. As long as it was something that could be achieved through her own efforts, she wanted to try it herself.
People who only knew how to ask for things from others would only become more and more greedy.
She didn't want to become that kind of person.
He Shaochen fell silent.
Qiao Qiao thought that he understood her, but He Shaochen said, "Qiao Qiao, for you, I can sacrifice He Clan …"
"Idiot! Do you think I want to hear you say such things? "Qiao Qiao immediately covered He Shaochen's mouth.
Her expression was extremely serious as she said, "Even if you are the head of He Clan, you can't completely abandon the interests of your clan, right? I don't want you to be reviled by He Clan because of me, and even more so, I don't want you to sacrifice He Clan to help me. I'm not a vase, and I also want to do my best to get what I want. "
"This is the reason why you went to curry favor with Phillips?"
He Shaochen was completely unmoved by Qiao Qiao's words.
Qiao Qiao glared at him. "What do you mean by curry favor with him? I clearly only wanted to discuss a collaboration with him! "
"That man isn't simple."
"I know."
"If you know, then why are you still so close to Phillips?" He Shaochen narrowed his eyes.
Why did it feel like the topic was back to square one?
Qiao Qiao put her hand to her forehead.
She said to He Shaochen, "I feel that Phillips is quite good at the moment."
Seeing that He Shaochen was about to get angry again, Qiao Qiao quickly said, "Alright, alright, I know that my feelings aren't accurate, but Adam also said that Phillips isn't an enemy, so I think that he should still be trustworthy."
"Adam?"
He Shaochen sneered. "Adam isn't a good person, and you believe whatever he says? Qiao Qiao, you've really been brainwashed! "
"Can you not be so hostile towards Adam? He's not a bad person! "
He Shaochen was about to refute, but just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, he swallowed them back. Qiao Qiao had always been a sharp-tongued person, and he would be angered to death if he argued with her. It was better to wait until he got the information from Madam Hong's investigation before he let her know about Adam's true colors!
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you."
He Shaochen snorted coldly and ended the topic.
However, after listening to Qiao Qiao's words, he was convinced of one thing. The relationship between Adam and Phillips was definitely not ordinary, and it was highly likely that they were from the same organization.
"Why aren't you wearing the necklace I gave you?"
He Shaochen saw that Qiao Qiao's neck was bare, and she was not wearing anything.
"That thing is too ostentatious."
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips.
He Shaochen frowned. "Wear it."
"You didn't really listen to those strange rumors, did you?" Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows.
He Shaochen said very seriously, "That 'Fairy's Tear' necklace is authentic, and its magical effects are indeed recorded in history. Wearing it will be good for your health."
"Tsk, liar." Qiao Qiao did not think much of it.
He Shaochen suddenly moved closer to her, with a "kind" smile on his face. "Don't make me say it a second time, wear it!"
The pressure that could not be ignored made Qiao Qiao's back break out in cold sweat.
He Shaochen was already very unhappy with Phillips's matter, so at least this matter would make him a little happier.
In the end, Qiao Qiao still compromised.
They went to the office, and she had casually placed the necklace in the drawer of her desk.
He Shaochen's eyes twitched. "A necklace worth one billion, and you just casually put it there?"
Was this woman magnanimous or stupid?
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. "No one will come to take it anyway. What are you afraid of?"
Alright, this woman was indeed stupid.
He Shaochen's appraisal was correct.
Qiao Qiao was about to put the necklace on, but He Shaochen took it and said, "Let me help you."
Qiao Qiao did not object and nodded.
She lifted her waist-length hair, revealing her smooth neck. It was so slender, so fragile, yet it carried a supreme sense of beauty.
He Shaochen put the 'Fairy's Tear' on Qiao Qiao's neck and fastened the tab for her.
Qiao Qiao looked at the ruby on her chest. It was the first time she realized how beautiful these minerals were, and this' Fairy's Tear 'was worthy of its title as the Queen of Gems.
He Shaochen stretched out his hands and hugged Qiao Qiao. He pulled her into his arms and rested his head on her shoulder. Smelling her faint body fragrance, he whispered: "May it protect you for the rest of your life."
She did not know if it was an illusion, but after she put on the 'Fairy's Tear', the ruby became even more dazzling. It was so red that it was eye-catching.
