Tang Jue actually woke up.
Obviously, he was not fully awake yet. He stood upstairs, leaning against the white jade railing and looking down at her sleepily. There was a natural charm in his eyes. "Did you sleep well last night?"
Qiqi really couldn't chat with him as calmly as he did.
He just stood there with his head bowed, and that casual fascination and temptation was probably the kind of style that made countless women crazy.
She became more and more afraid to be with him.
She was unable to resist either of the two kisses last night. It was a sign of her body losing control, which made her panic.
She looked away, pursed her lips, and whispered, "I don't want to live here."
"Don't like it here? It's okay if you don't like it. I'll take you to see another house in a couple of days. If you still don't like it, we'll change it. Or, if you like a property, just tell Jian Qing directly and Jian Qing will help you find it."
"..." Qiqi didn't know what to say. Tang Jue was so smart, how could he not understand the meaning of her words? It was obvious that he was just misinterpreting her words.
She decided not to say anything else and just said, "I'm going to work now."
"Eat breakfast."
"I still don't want to eat..."
"Qiqi." Tang Jue's two words have an irresistible deterrent power.
She was a little confused now, because of the mess they were in. She didn't want to provoke Tang Jue, she just wanted to live a peaceful life. She even didn't want to take out the heavy hatred in her heart again and put it in front of each other.
A few years before her father's death, she hated Tang Jue to the core, and thought about how to kill him and how to take revenge almost every day. At that time, she was shrouded in hatred, as if the world was only dark and ugly. It was terrible to hate someone's life. She lived like a rat in a stinking sewer, dark and depressed, and she was no longer like herself. She forgot the sunshine, ignored the beauty, lost her dreams, and lived like a walking corpse...
Until later, she became blind and met a man in the hospital who made her suddenly enlightened. She let go of or buried her hatred. Later, after she regained her sight, the man disappeared, as if she had just had a beautiful dream. Then, she took the time to let go of the man.
She learned to start her life anew while abroad, to get back to her true self, and to let the sunshine penetrate her life again.
She didn't want to live a life shrouded in hatred anymore. Every day of that dark life was torture, so now she could only stay as far away from him as possible...
You must not be bewitched by him.
After some consideration, she finally followed the butler into the restaurant.
It was her first time eating at the Tang family. The breakfast served by the servant stunned her.
Fried eggs, cooked to medium rare, not a cent more or less. Sugar, not salt, was placed beside the light white porridge. Coffee was also ready, with two and a half sugar cubes placed on the delicate plate.
Everything was her old habit.
There is no deviation at all.
She didn't think it was a coincidence in the kitchen. So, was it Tang Jue's explanation
However, this man… had only really appeared in her world for less than half a month. In fact, in this half a month, they had only met three or four times. How did he know about her preferences that could not be more private
Qiqi was getting more and more confused about Tang Jue's thoughts. If he was just playing around, he was putting too much thought into it. Or... had he always been like this? Was he like this with every toy he wanted to play with
———
After breakfast, Qiqi returned to the magazine office.
She was a bit dazed the whole day. She searched online for information about Tang Jue, but he was a very mysterious person. After searching for a long time, she didn't find any information worth reading. There were only some rumors about him, but the truth of those news was uncertain.
"Qiqi, are you checking on Tang Jue?"
Ruan Mengmeng's voice came from behind. Qiqi felt guilty and wanted to close his webpage.
"Whatever, I saw it all."
Qiqi had no choice but to stop.
"Do you really think that knowing yourself and your enemy can help you win every battle?" Ruan Mengmeng pulled a chair over and sat next to her.
Qiqi knew that she thought she was worried about the lawsuit, so she didn't explain and just asked, "Mengmeng, don't you usually like these gossips? Are all these rumors about Tang Jue in the news true?"
"Who would know this? You also know that the Young Master of the Tang Sect is very mysterious. But..." Meng Meng said, "I know that he and the Jade Lady Sect Leader Wen Xin were truly in love for a period of time. This was revealed by Wen Xin herself when I interviewed her last time. It's a pity that I didn't dare to publish the article about the Young Master of the Tang Sect. Otherwise, it would have been another explosive news."
Qiqi had also seen Wen Xin. She had been on the cover of a magazine before. She was a very innocent-looking celebrity. Her career was booming recently and she could often be seen in movies.
"Then-did she talk about other things about her and Tang Jue, such as how Tang Jue treated her?"
"According to her, Tang Jue has always been very generous to women. And, a man like him, if you think about it, you will know how to manipulate a woman's heart. Wen Xin said that he is very considerate, will remember all her preferences, and is also romantic and will give her surprises..."
Qiqi listened and nodded silently.
It turns out that this is a method he always uses.
It's not just directed at her.
So, he wasn't serious - no, it could be considered serious, but he was just using his usual tricks to seriously subdue his new prey. Those so-called lifetime talks were probably just something Tang Jue said casually to coax her!
Qiqi felt relieved. That at least meant she still had a chance to escape. As long as she didn't respond or provoke him, he would naturally lose interest in her in a few days.
Since she couldn't take revenge, she might as well... let the two worlds be as far apart as possible, without even the slightest intersection.
"But why are you asking these questions? Qiqi, does this have anything to do with your case?"
“… Yeah, maybe there is some connection.” Qiqi’s reply was vague.
"By the way, you haven't told me what happened when you went to see him yesterday."
result…
Qiqi shook her head, "It's horrible."
However, Tang Jue should keep his promise and withdraw the lawsuit. She could see that he didn't really mean to embarrass her. It seemed that the reason he sued her this time was just to give her and the entire entertainment media a warning, to warn them to be more cautious in dealing with the Tang Sect's affairs. Now that the warning had worked, he probably wouldn't continue.
"Oh, by the way, I remembered that I have some gossip about the young master of the Tang Sect. I also heard it from Wen Xin. But I think it's pretty fake."
"What gossip?"
"I heard that he almost wanted to donate his cornea for a girl, and he had already arranged the operation. But I heard that the girl later received a donation from someone else, so he was saved from blindness."
