"Su Xiao, I know you don't want to see , hiding in my mother's office."
A tall, handso young man walked in. He appeared to be in his twenties, very good-looking, stood 1.8 ters tall, and was dressed in Stefano Ricci casual wear, looking sharp and put-together. He held a rose in his hand.
He walked in, intending to greet Su Xiao, but was stunned to see her hugging Qin Heng—Qin Heng even had his head buried in Su Xiao's embrace!
So incredibly intimate!
CLATTER!
The exquisite box holding the rose fell to the ground. The diamond-encrusted box, worth nearly half a million dollars, shattered, and the rose within rolled out, its petals scattering.
"What is going on!?" The man's eyes turned bloodshot, blazing with fury. Staring intently at Qin Heng and Su Xiao, he gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder you wouldn't accept my advances. Turns out you've had a boyfriend all along!?"
CRACK!
The man stomped on the rose on the ground, crushing it completely. He pointed at Qin Heng and Su Xiao and roared, "You! You dare make a fool of ! Just you wait! I will make you pay!"
After saying that, he turned around and stord out.
BANG!
He slamd the office door furiously.
"Your suitor?" Qin Heng looked at Su Xiao with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Did you plan this, or was it a spur-of-the-mont decision to use
as a shield?"
He had clearly perceived what just happened. Whether Su Xiao had truly intended it or not, this was undeniably the outco.
"I'm sorry, I... I didn't an to." Su Xiao said, her eyes full of apology. "It's just that he's too annoying, and he's my ntor's son. It wouldn't be right to ignore him completely, so I had to avoid him... Mmph! Mmph! Mmph!"
Su Xiao suddenly cried out, her eyes wide with shock and panic. She felt her chin being grasped, and then her lips were covered—the sensation incredibly distinct!
Qin Heng's face was inches away!
He... he... he... he actually kissed ! He kissed !?
Su Xiao suddenly felt as if she were about to explode. Her mind reeled, her heart pounded erratically, the world spun before her eyes, and a buzz filled her head. She was utterly dumbfounded.
My first kiss!
This was the first kiss she had kept for over twenty years!
Never!
No man had ever kissed her before!
Stolen just like that!?
Completely unexpected!
Utterly unforeseen!
Imdiately after, Su Xiao's pupils contracted as she stared at Qin Heng in disbelief. She felt her teeth being pried apart!
Qin Heng had forced his way in completely!
This... this... this...!?
Su Xiao's mind went blank; she was completely bewildered.
All strength left her, and she collapsed into Qin Heng's arms.
A while later, Su Xiao suddenly felt a wave of emptiness. As she barely regained her senses, she saw Qin Heng had already returned to his chair, and she too was back in her office chair, but her body still felt weak.
"You! What did you just do!?" Su Xiao panted heavily, questioning Qin Heng. She had truly felt as if she were suffocating, her entire body tensing up. Having her first kiss stolen so abruptly was just incredibly, overwhelmingly shocking for her!
She was completely dumbfounded.
"Just a punishnt," Qin Heng said nonchalantly. "You used
as a shield. How could I remain indifferent?"
"You!" Su Xiao still felt indignant.
"If you want to take it a step further, that's not out of the question," Qin Heng said, a smile that wasn't quite a smile playing on his lips. Now relaxed, he didn't mind teasing Su Xiao a little.
"Huh!?" Su Xiao was startled at first, then, realizing what he ant, quickly waved her hands. "No, no, no, no! Nothing happened! Let's just say nothing happened! I... let's go out to eat. My treat, as thanks for your help? Let's go eat first, okay?"
She was genuinely flustered and a little scared, desperate to leave the office.
Right now, it was just her and Qin Heng in the office. If Qin Heng really had ideas, he could lock the door, draw the curtains, and no one would know what was happening inside!
The office was very well soundproofed; even loud shouts from inside wouldn't be heard outside.
"Hahaha, alright." Qin Heng laughed, stood up, and said, "Then let's go. After we eat, we'll book tickets to Kaifeng. You can take
to see that Ancient Sword."
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm." Su Xiao nodded repeatedly and, as if fleeing, ran to open the office door and hurried out. "I'll look on ituan to find a good place. Let's pick one as we walk."
It's definitely better outside. The office is really too unsafe!
On Danfang Road, atop the Xin Hui i Building, was the Yun Ding Pavilion restaurant.
This was one of the most high-end restaurants near Beijing University, with an average spend per person of over three thousand. It was an establishnt under the Daqin Group's Food and Beverage division.
For Qin Heng, this was very cheap, ridiculously so.
But for soone from an ordinary family like Su Xiao, it was an astronomical sum—an average spend of over three thousand per person!
After all, Su Xiao was just a graduate student. Even with occasional part-ti tutoring, her monthly inco was only about three or four thousand. A single al here could cost two months of her earnings.
Clearly, to thank Qin Heng, she was truly splurging.
In reality, she was the one getting an incredible deal.
Qin Heng's status was extraordinary. For ordinary people seeking his help, even hundreds of billions or trillions of US dollars might not be enough to persuade him.
If Su Xiao weren't considered his friend, Qin Heng wouldn't have helped her at all!
Su Xiao understood this too.
Although she wasn't aware of Qin Heng's true power, thinking of him only as a Grandmaster of Transcendence, even such a master wouldn't be swayed by a restaurant where the average al cost just over three thousand.
"I'm a bit short on funds, I'm sorry," Su Xiao said, a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing." Qin Heng shook his head and said with a light laugh, "It's not bad to occasionally try the food from a rustic little eatery; it has a certain charm."
He felt no compunction mocking an establishnt owned by his own company. And for him, a restaurant with an average spend of over three thousand per person was indeed just a rustic little eatery.
The people nearby overheard this and were all dumbfounded, staring at Qin Heng in disbelief.
Damn, this guy is such a show-off!
A restaurant with an average spend of over three thousand!
How can you call this a rustic little eatery?!
SLAM!
Suddenly, a full bottle of Maotai slamd onto Qin Heng's table, shaking the entire table violently, sending dishes scattering and soup spilling onto the surface.
Qin Heng frowned slightly and turned to look.
He was a burly man with a brutish, fleshy face, standing over 1.8 ters tall. With a hulking fra, his expression was ferocious. Holding the bottle of Maotai, he squinted at Qin Heng and sneered, "Brother, you're quite the show-off, aren't you? Full of smooth talk! A rustic little eatery, huh? Let's see how tough you really are!"
"Co on, down this bottle of 54-degree Maotai for ! In one go! You hear ? Just one go! If you dare take a second sip, I'll bash your damn head in! This is my goddamn restaurant, and you're here putting on airs! Looking for death, are you? Who the hell do you think you are?!"
"Kid, since you're such a great pretender, you can definitely down this in one gulp, right? If you can't, you're my goddamn grandson! And this beauty next to you, she'll have to co with
too! Understand? Now, drink this bottle for ! Drink!"
