After the other end of the call ended, Ni Jingxi glanced at her phone.
If you're so anxious, why didn't you do this earlier?
Seeing that she had hung up the phone, Tang Min asked curiously, "Did you find the person in charge of this matter?"
“Found it.” Ni Jingxi smiled.
She glanced down at the time on her phone and made a mental note of it.
I don't know how long it was, but just as Ni Jingxi was eating and staring at the table over there, a tall figure suddenly rushed past from the side.
She looked up and a smile played on her lips, giving off a look of schadenfreude.
Han Zhao walked to Shen Qiqi's side, and before she could speak, he reached out and pulled her up. Shen Qiqi was initially overjoyed to see him.
But then she remembered their previous argument and immediately angrily shook off his hand.
But he grabbed her wrist with force, and she couldn't shake him off.
The man opposite him stood up upon seeing this, pointed at Han Zhao, and angrily shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
But as soon as he pointed, Han Zhao's hand reached out and grabbed his wrist. In the blink of an eye, he had locked him in place.
"You fucking try to hit on her again and see what happens."
Then, the subdued man screamed like a pig being slaughtered, echoing throughout the restaurant.
Ni Jingxi covered her ears with her hands, blinked at Tang Mi next to her, and said innocently, "How scary."
Tang Mi was utterly impressed.
Wasn't this one you called?
The next second, Han Zhao kicked the man in the knee, sending him sprawling to the ground. Han Zhao turned to look at Shen Qiqi. Shen Qiqi was completely stunned, and the next second she screamed as well.
Because Han Zhao simply carried her on his shoulder and left.
As he was leaving, he politely passed by Ni Jingxi's table and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for this time. I'll treat you to a meal next time."
Look at them, how polite they are!
Chapter 68
Shen Qiqi didn't come to her senses until she was carried out of the restaurant and to the elevator. She leaned on Han Zhao's shoulder, patted his back, and said angrily, "Han Zhao, you bastard, put me down."
Han Zhao completely ignored her. Shen Qiqi's fists hit his muscles as if they were hitting a steel plate. Not only did they not have any effect on him, but her own fists hurt terribly.
Shen Qiqi kicked her legs wildly in mid-air. She was wearing shorts today, and her two slender, snow-white legs were dangling in front of him.
It made his eyes a little blurry.
Han Zhao finally said in a calm voice, "Don't move."
"Put me down," Shen Qiqi said without any politeness.
Han Zhao sneered and said directly, "I won't release him."
Shen Qiqi was annoyed by his attitude and shouted, "You're a pervert!"
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and the people inside probably didn't expect to see such a scene upon opening the doors, so they all looked at each other in surprise.
Han Zhao even made way for the people inside, gesturing for them to come down first.
Shen Qiqi was still hitting him, yelling angrily as she did so: "Han Zhao, you bastard, put me down right now! What right do you have to treat me like this?"
She finished cursing in one breath, and everyone in the elevator came out. Han Zhao carried her directly into the elevator.
Seeing that he didn't respond no matter how much she hit or scolded him, Shen Qixi was so angry that she wanted to bite him.
She sobbed and said, feeling wronged, "You don't like me, and you're still stopping me from finding my own happiness."
Her own happiness...
These words immediately turned Han Zhao's face cold. He directly took Shen Qiqi off his shoulder. As soon as Shen Qiqi stood up, she felt his body approaching her. Shen Qiqi couldn't help but take a few steps back, her back pressed directly against the elevator car wall.
Han Zhao reached out and rested his hand beside her head, bending slightly closer.
Shen Qiqi was annoyed by his actions. Why did he have to get so close when he was just talking?
Finally, Han Zhao spoke up: "Your own happiness? Do you know that if they hadn't called me today, you would probably have been sold out and still be counting the money for them?"
Han Zhao was still furious at the thought of what Ni Jingxi had said to him on the phone.
He really did restrain himself just now. After all, he's a soldier, and it's pointless to fight an ordinary person. Otherwise, he would have really beaten the other guy up, even broken that bastard's legs.
Shen Qiqi was taken aback, and after a while asked, "What are you selling?"
Han Zhao was too lazy to talk to her about those dirty things. As a man, he knew all too well the bad habits of some men, who would want to take any slightly pretty girl to bed.
Not to mention a girl like Shen Qiqi who has a delicate appearance and a good figure.
"Don't ask such questions, you're just a kid," Han Zhao said coldly.
Actually, he said this for Shen Qiqi's sake. He couldn't very well tell Shen Qiqi bluntly, "That bastard wants to take you to bed, so I came here."
But Shen Qixi exploded the moment she heard the word "children".
Han Zhao is always like this; she has always regarded herself as a child who has not grown up, but she doesn't know that she is already twenty-two years old.
She was no longer a child but a young woman, and she knew what it felt like to like someone.
Shen Qixi shoved him suddenly, and Han Zhao stumbled backward just as the elevator doors opened. Shen Qixi started to walk out, and Han Zhao chased after her, dragging her into the car.
"What's wrong with you now?" Han Zhao asked helplessly.
This is probably why he has never wanted to be in a relationship; he never knows how she will feel the next second.
Shen Qiqi remained silent, letting him pull her to the parking lot across the street.
There was no parking lot downstairs at the restaurant, so Han Zhao had to park his car at the hotel across the street.
When he pulled her to the car, Shen Qiqi was still angry. Han Zhao reached out and pinched her nose to stop her from breathing, and said with a light laugh, "You always say you're not a child, but look at how angry you are."
What does it mean to add fuel to the fire?
What does it mean to "destroy someone's life with a straight man's infuriating behavior"?
Shen Qiqi raised her head and glared at him resentfully, her large black eyes filled with resentment, helplessness, and unwillingness. How many times did she have to tell him? She wasn't a child anymore, she hadn't been for a long time.
Han Zhao felt a little helpless when he saw her looking at him like that. He just let go of her nose and was about to open the car door to let her get in first.
But Shen Qiqi, as if she were going all out, called out, "Han Zhao."
Han Zhao turned around, and Shen Qiqi rushed over, her chest slamming directly into his.
The soft, fluffy touch almost enveloped him completely.
Even Han Zhao, who was known for his lightning-fast reflexes, froze in place, not having a chance to dodge. He had always thought of Shen Qiqi as a child because he had truly watched her grow up since she was little.
The age difference between the two of them is even greater than that between Ni Jingxi and Huo Shenyan.
Eight years old.
Moreover, Ni Jingxi has always been calm and composed, and no one would treat her like a child, since she took on the responsibility of a family at a young age.
But Shen Qiqi was pampered as she grew up. The Shen family was a large family, and most of their children were boys.
This generation only has one little girl, Shen Qiqi.
She'd always been the younger sister, someone who needed to be protected. So when she told Han Zhao she liked him, he didn't take it seriously at all. In his eyes, she was still a sweet-smiling little girl, the little sister he'd watched grow up.
But just a second ago, she got so angry that she bumped her chest into him. The feeling of being completely embraced made a thought flash through Han Zhao's mind.
She really has grown up.
Shen Qiqi was genuinely angry, but she wasn't the kind of person who lost her temper. Han Zhao had always called her a child, so fine, she'd let him see if he was still a child after all.
Shen Qiqi was satisfied when Han Zhao remained silent.
She is indeed very thin, but she is also very well-endowed. It's just that she doesn't like that kind of sexy and mature style, and she doesn't like to highlight her breasts.
This sudden 'breast assault' has truly stunned Han Zhao.
Shen Qiqi stared at him and said seriously, word by word, "Han Zhao, do you still think I'm a child?"
Han Zhao looked at her with her hands behind her back, looking at him defiantly, her face saying, "If you dare to say I'm a child again, I'll show you what I'm made of."
Shen Qixi had never gotten the better of Han Zhao before, but this time she had truly subdued him.
After holding it in for a long time, Han Zhao finally said with a cold face, "You are not allowed to do this again next time."
so?
Seeing that he turned his face away as soon as he finished speaking, looking as if he didn't dare to look at her, Shen Qixi snorted and said angrily, "Do you think I'm like this to everyone?"
It's all because of you.
She dared to do this because it was you. And she wanted to do this because it was you.
Han Zhao couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose. At this moment, both of them fell silent until Shen Qixi said, "You just said that someone sold me out. What exactly happened?"
Han Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't worry about this, I'll handle it."
"If you don't tell me, I'll call Sister Jingxi. She was the one who called you just now, wasn't she?" Han Zhao said to Ni Jingxi as he left. Although Shen Qiqi was being carried on his shoulder, she still saw him.
Han Zhao thought for a moment but didn't say it directly. He just reminded her, "Don't go out to eat with this kind of person next time. It's too dangerous. Something might happen."
Shen Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Could it be that he wants to do something to me?"
She really disliked this person; his eyes unconsciously held the look of someone eyeing prey when he looked at people, and he exuded the air of a spoiled brat.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If Ni Jingxi hadn't happened to see it today, she might have really fallen into his trap: "You didn't even tell me just now, otherwise I would have definitely beaten this bastard up."
After she finished speaking, she actually turned around and tried to walk back.
Han Zhao reached out and grabbed her, asking, "Where are you going?"
"I'll go back and beat him up again to vent my anger," Shen Qiqi said bitterly.
Shouldn't this kind of scum be beaten every time she sees him? She looked at Han Zhao with some resentment. He hadn't told her anything earlier; otherwise, she would have definitely kicked him to pieces back at the restaurant...
Seeing her gritted teeth, Han Zhao reached out to pull her back.
But Shen Qiqi didn't care and wanted to keep walking back. In the end, Han Zhao didn't want to waste any more words with her, so he picked her up by the waist, opened the car door, put her in, and quickly pulled out the seat belt to tie her to the seat.
