Xue Qiwei glanced at Mingxi indifferently, then helped Mingxi fasten her seat belt before starting the engine. The red car quickly left the company gate.
"Baby, have you decided where to go for dinner?" Xue Qiwei ignored the displeasure on Mingxi's face and asked in a relaxed tone.
"Hey! Are you listening to me? I say, from now on, don't come to my company to pick me up after get off work!" Ming Xi frowned and looked at Xue Qiwei.
"No!" Xue Qiwei refused firmly without even thinking about it.
"Why?" Mingxi asked puzzledly.
"Hey, Han Mingxi, letting you live in that shabby place is already my last concession. How can I, Xue Qiwei's woman, live in such a small, shabby, poorly maintained slum with inconvenient transportation? I have tolerated this, but you actually want to deprive me of the only chance to see you every day. Can you be fair to me?" Xue Qiwei shouted unhappily.
"Hey, who is your woman?" Ming Xi couldn't help but get angry when she heard Xue Qiwei's somewhat domineering tone.
"Even if it's not now, it will be in the future!" Xue Qiwei insisted.
"You—are crazy!" Ming Xi shouted angrily at Xue Qiwei, "Stop the car, I want to get off!"
Xue Qiwei frowned when he heard Mingxi was about to get off the car. He had no intention of letting her get off. He just softened his tone and said, "Okay, I won't drive you next time, okay? You take the bus home after get off work, and it's dark, I'm worried!"
After hearing Xue Qiwei's words, Ming Xi bit her lip and raised her lips proudly, "That's almost right!"
Xue Qiwei saw that Mingxi had calmed down. He turned his head and glanced at her, then asked in confusion: "Mingxi, why do you have to go out to work by yourself? And why do you have to live in such a shabby house? Are you afraid that I can't afford to support you?"
Mingxi turned her head and looked at Xue Qiwei, then said: "Because, I want everything to go back to the starting point, I am still that ordinary Cinderella! I am Han Mingxi, the Han Mingxi who has never changed, the timid and cowardly Han Mingxi. I don't want to change myself, and I don't want to change my original life! Living in a shabby house, working hard to earn money, this is my life!"
Xue Qiwei listened carefully to Ming Xi's words while driving. When she finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile: "What a stupid woman! I don't think there will be a stupider woman in the world than you, right?"
A few black lines slid down Mingxi's forehead, but Xue Qiwei said in time before she got angry: "How about I take you to the 'Food Street'?"
Upon hearing Xue Qiwei's suggestion, Ming Xi immediately jumped up in joy. Her eyes lit up, and she asked happily, "Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Xue Qiwei smiled dotingly at Ming Xi. He freed one hand and gently rubbed Ming Xi's hair. "My woman, I will spoil her for the rest of my life!"
But after hearing what he said, Mingxi's heart immediately became heavy. She knew he was hinting at her that since they were friends, he couldn't be nice to her? Because she had no confidence that she would fall in love with him in this life!
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when they came back from the "Delicious Street". Mingxi asked Xue Qiwei to stop at a remote intersection in a bungalow area not far from where she lived now.
"Fork!" Xue Qiwei frowned, looked at the dark intersection, and asked worriedly, "Let me take you home!"
"No need! It's just a hundred meters ahead, just turn a corner and you'll be there. It's too late now, you should go back quickly and remember to be careful on the road!" Mingxi urged.
"Tsk! Take me home and I won't eat you!" Xue Qiwei started the engine unhappily and looked at Mingxi with a doting look on his face.
But Mingxi gave him a silly smile, and he saw through her thoughts.
"Okay, I'll go first. Be careful!" Xue Qiwei whispered, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly.
Looking at the car going away, Mingxi smiled, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
Not long after she walked away, Mingxi saw two black cars parked at the entrance of the alley and several figures swaying. Her heart immediately rose to her throat and she moved her feet nervously.
A black figure rushed over and grabbed Mingxi's arm.
"Don't move!" A low shout was heard, and a hard gun was instantly pointed at her waist.
"Ah!..." Mingxi screamed in fear, she instinctively hugged her head and quickly squatted down. She only regretted not letting Xue Qiwei send her back now, wuwu... She regretted it so much, could she die in such an unclear way tonight
"Don't shout! If you shout again, I won't be polite to you!" The hoarse voice added a touch of terror to the dark night.
"Who is it?" asked a tall dark figure not far away.
"Brother, it's a woman!"
"woman?"
"Yes! It's a woman, not the one we are looking for!"
"I... I have no money, I don't know you... why are you arresting me?" Ming Xi's body was shaking and she asked stutteringly.
In the darkness, the tall man took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. The flickering fire illuminated a cold face with a scar on it. He seemed to be thinking about something. Ming Xi stared at him nervously, waiting for his final decision.
The tall man blew out a puff of smoke before he slowly spoke, "Let her go. There's no need for us to cause more trouble. Besides, we already have enough to do. Our only goal tonight is to catch the person who deserves to die the most!"
Mingxi let out a breath quietly.
"Get out of here!" The man who had just grabbed her pulled Mingxi up from the ground and pushed her out with force!
Mingxi staggered a few steps. She didn't dare to stay any longer and ran desperately towards the alley.
After turning left and right, Mingxi finally reached her house. She stopped, leaned against the wall, patted her chest, and gasped for breath.
"Fortunately, it was a close call and we are finally safe!" Mingxi took a long breath and then patted her chest hard.
"Don't move!" Ming Xi had just rushed into the gate of the yard with a low groan, and her body was already tightly held in someone's arms.
Just as Ming Xi was about to scream, a cold voice came again: "If you dare to make a sound, I will send you to hell immediately!" As soon as the man finished speaking, a cold gun was pointed at her again.
Mingxi immediately shut her mouth and held back her scream. However, she felt extremely embarrassed!
Why, she had two guns pointed at her tonight? She had never done anything bad!
Mingxi stood there, nervously glancing at the man behind her. She was really afraid that his brain would short-circuit and he would shoot her dead!
Woohoo…
"You..." Mingxi wanted to ask in tears, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the man's low voice came again, "If you dare to speak again, I will kill you immediately!" As he spoke, the man pressed the gun hard against Mingxi.
Mingxi nodded obediently, but her body was shaking with fear.
The two of them just stood there quietly. A gust of night wind blew and Mingxi shuddered because she smelled a strong smell of blood in the cool wind.
I don't know how long the two of them stood there. Mingxi only felt that the man behind him was getting weaker and weaker. He seemed to be holding on. Could it be that the people outside were arresting him? Was he injured? Mingxi's eyes moved, and then while he was not paying attention, she bent her arms and rushed towards him.
The man seemed to have been on guard against her. He grabbed Mingxi's arm and growled in a cold voice, "I knew you were restless. Now don't blame me for being rude to you!"
