Chapter 116 Ugly Duckling Substitute vs. A Ruthless and Ruthless CEO (38)
Zhong Yiqiao was also quite scared. If she wasn't scared, she wouldn't have come up with the idea of finding someone to replace her.
But things didn't go as planned. Who would have thought that she would have to personally come to his door?
Thinking about it.
She arrived in front of Qin Shen, sweating profusely. Seeing him sleeping with his eyes closed, she found him to be much gentler.
Moreover, he is undeniably good-looking.
Compared to the sunny or gentle types like Si Yuan and Qi Su, Qin Shen is a rare type.
It makes your legs go weak just by looking at it; it exudes an aura of hormones.
If only he weren't so bad-tempered, and the rumors weren't so terrible.
Zhong Yiqiao sighed and called out softly twice, "Qin Shen? Qin Shen!"
Qin Shenzheng's mind went blank as he gradually calmed himself down. A woman's voice reached his ears, affected and pretentious.
He opened his eyes impatiently, and just then his gaze met Zhong Yiqiao's.
I sat up from the beach chair.
Zhong Yiqiao involuntarily took two steps back, but remembering her purpose, she walked back. "Qin Shen, I want to talk to you."
Qin Shen was very irritated.
The more unhappy he became, the less fierce his expression looked. Instead, he looked at her with a half-smile and said, "It's quite a surprise that Miss Zhong is looking for me. What's the matter?"
He picked up the wine glass beside him, which contained red wine and exuded a mellow aroma.
Gently shake it, and a red mark will be left on the cup, which will then gradually disappear.
Zhong Yiqiao was taken aback, not expecting Qin Shen to be so easy to talk to.
This emboldened her, and she plopped down on the edge of the beach chair.
But she still didn't dare to get too close to him.
Qin Shen possessed a kind of aggressiveness that she had never experienced from anyone else, which was terrifying, perhaps because she had always had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood.
Even the men she meets are all gentle towards her.
I've never seen anyone like him before.
At that moment, Zhong Yiqiao felt a chill run through her body, a feeling she had never experienced before. "Qin Shen, about our arranged marriage. I was immature back then. I... I won't make excuses. I did hear the rumors from the outside world. Think about it, I was just a little girl, so it's understandable that I was scared."
But recently I've discovered that's not the case. I'm sorry, I apologize for rejecting you back then.
Qin Shen remained silent.
Zhong Yiqiao opened her mouth, mustered her courage, and continued, "And about Xiao Bailing, I really, really didn't know anything about it. I hope you can understand my mother's love for me. She made a mistake, but her initial intention was indeed for my sake. So... could you apologize and then please stop holding a grudge against the Zhong family?"
"Drinked."
Qin Shen handed over the wine glass in his hand, his smile even more wicked than Qi Yijun's. "Let me see Miss Zhong's sincerity."
It turned out to be the case.
It was just drinking.
Zhong Yiqiao was, after all, a wealthy young lady who attended many parties since childhood. She had drunk a lot of alcohol, but as she grew up, she learned to gradually refuse.
She smiled and accepted it with both hands.
She lowered her eyes shyly, "I'm not a big drinker, but I can drink."
talking.
She tilted her head back and drank just a little bit.
He coughed several times, clutching his chest, as soon as he swallowed. "Cough, cough, I'm sorry, I hope you didn't see this."
The sneer in Qin Shen's eyes intensified.
What a fucking pretentious guy.
In his twenty-odd years of life, Qin Shen had only ever seen two women who put on such a pretentious act. One was his half-dead mother, and the other was Zhong Yiqiao.
Interestingly.
Upon closer reflection, it seems that the two people have similar personalities; both appear gentle and tender on the surface.
She sipped her red wine slowly.
It took several sips to finish the red wine in the glass before I put it back on the small round table next to me.
Zhong Yiqiao thought she had won, "I drank it."
"Miss Zhong is indeed quite sincere."
Hearing his words, Zhong Yiqiao's eyes lit up, "Then..."
Qin Shen suddenly jumped off the beach chair and walked to the edge of the swimming pool.
As soon as he walked over, the swimmers inside scurried away as if they had seen a raging flood, swimming to a spot a short distance away.
Zhong Yiqiao walked to his side, not understanding why.
Qin Shen turned to look at him, her eyes still clearly smiling, no different from before. But she felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, and not just any abyss, but a long-dormant, erupting volcano, where falling in would mean certain death.
Just thinking about it is terrifying.
“Dixing Entertainment can drop the charges against the Zhong family.” Qin Shen gazed at the calm surface of the swimming pool, his deep expression making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. “I can also guarantee that I will absolutely not cause any trouble for the Zhong family.”
Zhong Yiqiao was so happy that she could hardly contain her smile.
She opened her mouth.
A bold idea even popped into her mind: Qin Shen is so easy to talk to, could it be that he actually likes her?
Thinking about this made her quite proud.
just.
Before the smile on her face could last more than a few seconds, Qin Shen turned to look at her. His sexy, thin lips uttered words that could extinguish any doubts in a person's mind: "Miss Zhong, you've passed the first test. Why don't you jump off here and let me see your sincerity?"
There it is again.
Still the first hurdle.
Zhong Yiqiao's gaze fell on the wine glass she had just drunk, so the seemingly insignificant act of drinking was merely a test, a step-by-step probe to see what her bottom line was.
She drank it, and then came to the second step.
What if she jumps?
What's the third step? It's not going to be making her take off her clothes in public and be humiliated, is it?
Zhong Yiqiao retreated in fear.
She can come to Qin Shen for help; it's no big deal. Even a rich young lady can give up a small part of her pride for the sake of her family's interests.
This is what her parents taught her since she was little, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But if it goes too far, she naturally won't be willing to do it.
"Qin Shen, you're really joking." Zhong Yiqiao was terrified and suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe. Why did she come here? She had a bad feeling.
He turned to leave, saying, "In that case, pretend I never said anything."
"Miss Zhong!"
Zhong Yiqiao turned and took a few steps forward. Qin Shen's tone turned icy cold. "Who do you take me for? If you want to talk to me, say a few words. If you don't want to, just turn around and leave. It seems I, Qin Shen, have become much gentler lately. All sorts of Tom, Dick, and Harry come to me and act presumptuously."
Zhong Yiqiao really wanted to run away.
Countless eyes watched her with a mixture of gossip, mockery, and anticipation.
If she runs away, it will be an even bigger joke tomorrow.
Zhong Yiqiao didn't believe Qin Shen could do anything in front of so many people; he was probably just talking nonsense.
She'll just treat it as if the dog barked twice.
