Sleeping at the Holy Light Palace
He Shaochen's voice was magnetic and low, like a demon that tempted people to commit crimes. He knew that he couldn't touch it, but he kept sinking into it.
Qiao Qiao felt her body temperature rise sharply, and her cheeks became hotter and hotter. Her body leaned softly against He Shaochen's chest, where his heart was, and she could hear his strong heartbeat. Her heart, which had been anxious because of all the negative news, calmed down.
He Shaochen was a man of his word. He didn't do anything else to Qiao Qiao. He just hugged her soft body quietly and didn't speak for a long time.
The vast space was filled with tranquil airflow. Qiao Qiao could only hear each other's heartbeats, "Thump thump thump thump" rhythmically beating. Today, He Shaochen was different from usual. If it was in the past, this guy would be so well-behaved.
He must be under a lot of pressure.
Qiao Qiao had also been paying close attention to He Clan's news. She knew what was going on outside. The news of boycotting He Clan was overwhelming, and many companies in the same industry wanted to take this opportunity to suppress He Clan and carve up a huge market share. He Shaochen not only had to face public opinion, but also had to deal with the J Organisation and competitors in the same industry. The difficulty had suddenly increased by several dimensions.
Perhaps the best choice was for him to return to A Country. Because he was there, these people had been targeting him. Previously, the matter between him and Xia Xi had been made a big deal out of. Even though she had explained it clearly, she couldn't prevent those with ulterior motives from plotting against her. Now, his Clan branch had a bad reputation in J Country and everyone wanted to beat them up.
But it was impossible for him to go back. The reason why he stayed was because she and the child were here. If he left, the target of the attack would become her. He would not watch this happen.
Qiao Qiao sniffled and her heart ached.
Why did these people keep pestering them? They clearly didn't do anything.
Qiao Qiao reached out and wrapped her arms around He Shaochen's waist. She nuzzled her head in his arms and her mood became low again.
He Shaochen noticed the change in Qiao Qiao's mood. He looked up and saw that Qiao Qiao's eyes had turned red. He was in a good mood and teased, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy because I didn't touch you? "
When Qiao Qiao heard this, she was so angry that she almost sewed his mouth shut. She gritted her teeth and retorted, "No!"
"Then why are you looking like a red-eyed rabbit? Who bullied you, hm? " He Shaochen gently rubbed Qiao Qiao's long hair and found that the ends of her hair were still wet. He picked up the towel beside the bed and said lightly: "Your hair is still wet, why didn't you pay attention? Don't you know that you're still in confinement? "
It was reasonable to say that confinement should be treated like a national treasure. However, Qiao Qiao's identity was different. She was the queen of a country. Now that the J Organisation's counterattack was so fierce, there was no time for her to rest. Even if she was in confinement, she had to bite the bullet and continue. However, He Shaochen was still very concerned about such details.
"I just used a hairdryer to dry my hair, but I didn't pay much attention to the ends of my hair …" Qiao Qiao explained in a low, muffled voice.
He Shaochen ignored this and said, "Turn around. I'll wipe it for you."
"No need. It'll dry itself in a while." Qiao Qiao was still refusing, but He Shaochen said firmly, "It's because you don't pay attention to details that it's easy for you to fall ill! Turn around. "
Qiao Qiao had no choice but to turn around obediently. She felt her hair falling from He Shaochen's fingertips. His movements were very gentle as he gently wiped the ends of her hair, making her feel no discomfort at all. Qiao Qiao sat between his legs. The heat behind her made her back tingle. She was bored to death and asked, "Shaochen, how's the company recently?"
"Isn't it the same as before?" He Shaochen's voice was light and indifferent.
"During the meeting today, those people accused you in front of me again. They said all kinds of things about his Clan. Someone even asked me to issue an official letter saying that all the businesses under his Clan will have a 25% tax increase compared to other businesses. This is clearly a squeeze on your Clan! I'm so angry. They clearly know that you're my husband, but they still said such things in front of me. They're clearly trying to intimidate me! "
"Oh? Did you quarrel with them? "He Shaochen asked.
"No, I held it in. Momo is the one who's the happiest when I quarrel with them. I won't do such a stupid thing. They want to make me lose my composure and use my weakness to slander me. I won't give them a chance. The more they want to see me make a fool of myself, the more I'll do it beautifully and fight back!" Qiao Qiao said sullenly.
He Shaochen heard this and laughed, "You've grown up a lot. You know how to judge others. Very good. Quarreling now is the best for Momo. You can just ignore their words. As long as you don't give the order, these people won't dare to do anything to his Clan."
"Yes, that's what I think. Actually, it's quite funny to see these people blushing and pointing fingers every day." Qiao Qiao laughed.
"You're not depressed now?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head and said honestly, "At first, I was depressed. After thinking it through, I'm not so depressed anymore. But when I think about how these people will pester me for a while, I feel a little uncomfortable …"
"Are these people accusing his Clan?" He Shaochen asked.
"Why are you asking this?" Qiao Qiao turned to look at him and asked in confusion.
"Those people have been complaining about you. It must be very uncomfortable, right? I'll help you shut them up. "He Shaochen dried Qiao Qiao's hair and threw the towel aside.
Qiao Qiao saw a faint smile on his lips and knew that this guy was up to no good again. She asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"You'll know later."
His mysterious behavior made her even more curious. However, no matter how Qiao Qiao pestered him, He Shaochen didn't say anything.
The two of them lay on the bed together. Qiao Qiao's last attempt was to no avail. She curled her lips and said, "Stingy guy. If I had known, I wouldn't have told you my name."
She turned her body and sulked with her back facing He Shaochen. He Shaochen reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. He leaned his body against her and rubbed her shoulder intimately. He said as if he was coaxing a child, "Be good. Just wait for the result. I'll give you a satisfactory answer."
"Hmph!" Qiao Qiao snorted proudly. It wasn't a big deal, so Qiao Qiao wasn't really angry.
She closed her eyes and pretended not to hear He Shaochen's voice. Gradually, she fell asleep, but she felt something moving around her body. The rough stimulation made Qiao Qiao tremble. She gritted her teeth and pressed down on the hand. She turned around and glared at a certain someone. "Didn't you say that you wouldn't touch me?"
"I didn't 'touch' you." He Shaochen's expression was a little innocent, but Qiao Qiao felt that he was asking for a beating. "It's already so late. Stop fooling around!"
"Okay, you sleep. I'll do mine," He Shaochen replied crisply.
How could this person say such shameless words? Qiao Qiao pressed down on He Shaochen's hand tightly. "You have a lot of things to do tomorrow. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
She didn't want He Shaochen to go to work tomorrow with panda eyes.
"I was originally quite sleepy, but I don't know why I feel so energetic when I'm leaning against you."
"Then I'm really sorry!" Qiao Qiao's eyes twitched.
The orange glow from the bedside lamp shone on He Shaochen's face, making his expression much gentler. His gaze also became incomparably affectionate. He pulled Qiao Qiao into his embrace, and their bodies were tightly pressed together. "Qiao Qiao, I won't let you get hurt again. I'm really sorry about what happened before."
"Why are you bringing this up again? I don't mind it anymore. "
"I won't leave J Country. Before the J Organisation is eradicated, I definitely won't leave. No matter who it is, they won't be able to change my mind!" He Shaochen's voice sounded very solemn.
Qiao Qiao's heart sank when she heard He Shaochen's words. She asked tentatively, "Are the people in A Country urging you to go back?"
"My father is urging me. He's just short of summoning me back to the capital with 12 chicken feather arrows." He Shaochen joked.
"Is Father urging you?" Qiao Qiao thought of Father He's stern face and the words he said at the airport. Qiao Qiao still felt a little apologetic towards him. At that time, she had said very disrespectful things and didn't have time to apologize.
Hearing that it was Father He who was urging her, Qiao Qiao's heart was beating like a drum. "Since Father is urging you, it must be something urgent. Is it really okay if you don't go back?"
"To me, the most urgent thing right now is to get rid of the J Organisation. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease leaving you alone in J Country."
"Shaochen …"
Qiao Qiao was touched and upset when she heard this.
Without waiting for her to speak, He Shaochen continued, "I shouldn't have said these things to you. I won't bother you anymore. Go to sleep."
"But …"
"You don't want to sleep tonight?" He Shaochen's words immediately shut Qiao Qiao up. She curled up in his arms and didn't say another word.
Who cares. When the car reaches the mountain, there will be a way. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten itself out. There will always be a way.
The next day.
He Shaochen woke up very early. Qiao Qiao was still sleeping soundly. He slowly put on his clothes. Before he left, he walked to the bedside, bent down, and gently kissed Qiao Qiao's forehead. Then, he left.

"What? Brother Ye came out of the Holy Glory Palace? Didn't he already move out? " Momo, who was drinking black tea, jumped up when she heard that He Shaochen had spent the night at the Holy Glory Palace. Her face turned green.
"This is very normal. After all, they are husband and wife." The middle-aged man felt that this wasn't something to be concerned about.
But Momo didn't think so. Her face was full of malice as she gritted her teeth and said, "Things have already turned out this way and they still come out as a couple. It seems that we aren't strong enough!"
"Bei Ah Duo, what do you want to do?"
Momo glared fiercely at the man like a poisonous woman and said, "Get someone to make a fuss about this matter. Make sure that Brother Ye can't go to the Holy Glory Palace in the future!"
She was going crazy with jealousy!
Not only did Lilith not die in childbirth, she even gave birth to two children.
Thinking of the harmonious and happy scene of their family of four, her heart became more and more twisted. She suppressed a sense of injustice in her heart.
Their family was reunited, but did they ever think about her feelings?
Who was the one who caused her to become like this? How could a woman who caused her father's death be happy? She must take revenge and make them pay a heavy price for their actions. She must break up that woman, Lilith, and let her watch the man she loved leave her!
"There's no need to do such a thing. Our priority now is to focus on attacking He Clan."
"Attacking He Clan's power in J Country is inevitable. But I won't let that woman Lilith have it easy! He Clan's reputation is in shambles now. As the CEO, He Shaochen still has intimate relations with the Queen of J Country. Do you think the citizens will think this way? Get someone to spread the news that Lilith is protecting He Clan and had a secret meeting in the middle of the night. She intends to absolve He Clan of their crimes! "
"Bei Ah Duo, don't let jealousy get to your head." The middle-aged man warned.
Momo sneered, "My head is very clear! I just can't stand the way they are together! "
"There's no need to waste resources on this kind of public opinion!"
"Of course there's a need!" Momo smiled even more sinisterly, "Under this kind of image, if that woman Lilith still has a secret meeting with Brother Ye, her support will drop even more. Isn't this more beneficial for us to seize the throne?"
"Even so …"
"Didn't you say that you'll do your best to help me seize the throne? What? Is this all a lie? "Momo asked sternly.
The middle-aged man was silent.
He looked at Momo who had become more and more arrogant after becoming Bei Ah Duo. He narrowed his eyes and a strange look flashed through his eyes. Finally, he said, "I'll help you settle this matter."
