At first, Song Qiao thought that Chu Munan had captured her to threaten Lu Jingchen, but she did not expect that eting this man would feel like seeing an old friend, especially when she learned that she had been physically picked up and thrown here, Chu Munan imdiately ordered those rude n to be punished.
This indeed surprised Song Qiao, making her feel unexpectedly flattered.
Seeing that Song Qiao truly wasn’t eating, Chu Munan did not continue to insist that she eat. He just started to eat by himself, appearing unwilling to speak.
Song Qiao wasn’t anxious, knowing that Chu Muchen posed no threat to her, she simply sat there quietly without speaking further.
After ten minutes, the four dishes and one soup on the table were nearly all gone, almost completely eaten by Chu Munan, which made Song Qiao internally exclaim in shock at his appetite, calling him a glutton!
Of course, she dared not voice out these words. If she really said them aloud, it’s likely Chu Munan would directly get up and throttle her, maybe even to death.
The handso man pulled out so tissues to wipe the corners of his mouth, then fixed his gaze on Song Qiao, and directly said, "Do you want to get so sleep? It’s already past three in the morning, and you seem not to have rested today."
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao, who was sowhat relaxed, suddenly beca wary, narrowing her eyes slightly as she looked at the man opposite her and directly questioned, "Chu Munan, you haven’t yet explained why you brought here."
"I didn’t capture you." As soon as she finished speaking, the man imdiately denied her statent.
Capture...
He made it sound as if he was a human trafficker.
Song Qiao laughed slightly, her tone now laced with sharpness, "If you didn’t capture , then how co I am here?"
Chu Munan slightly furrowed his brows, not very noticeably. Looking at the woman opposite him, why did he feel every word and sentence was mocking him?
He hooked his lips and chuckled slightly, tossing the tissue onto the table, his voice deep and a tad sexy as he stated, "I rely had my n pick up a holess little stray cat from the roadside."
"You are the stray cat, your whole family is stray cats," Song Qiao glared at him, her tone already carrying anger.
"Okay, you are not a stray cat," Chu Munan did not argue with her. Instead, he stood up calmly and said, "There is a guest room upstairs. I will have soone show you the way so you can rest. If you need a bath, I will have soone prepare a change of clothes for you. We can talk about everything else after you’ve had so sleep."
With that, he began walking towards the door.
Song Qiao was montarily overwheld by his arrangents and didn’t react until he reached the door. She quickly got up and chased after him, blocking his way. Her large, distinctly black and white eyes showed a mix of confusion and wariness as she asked, "Why are you being so nice to ?"
Listening to his arrangents, all seed genuinely for her well-being.
The bright crystal lamp overhead shone directly on them. The villa was very quiet, and the only sounds were those of the patrolling footsteps.
Song Qiao stared intently at the man in front of her as if trying to see through him, but that wasn’t such an easy thing to accomplish.
All she saw was the man’s mouth slightly curving into a very light, faint smile, the amusent in his eyes not entirely clear.
Just when she was about to lose patience and continue questioning, his low voice ca through again, "Because you once saved my life twice."
Until Chu Munan left, leaving only herself in the living room, Song Qiao still couldn’t grasp the full aning of his words.
When Jack walked in and saw Song Qiao daydreaming, he respectfully approached and greeted, "Miss Song."
Song Qiao snapped back to reality, looking up to see a sunny-smiled young man, Jack.
A bit surprised, she responded, "So you’re here too."
She was brought here by Chu Munan and had prepared a al to eat with him but hadn’t seen Jack at all, thinking he didn’t co to An City with Chu Munan.
Jack’s face displayed a shy smile, his cheeks revealing dimples as he respectfully said, "The boss asked to buy clothes for Miss Song."
Song Qiao looked down and saw he was holding two bags, from a very well-known brand no less, the won’s clothing inside outrageously expensive, each item no less than a six-figure worth, not to ntion a full set.
She didn’t imdiately take them but instead directly asked Jack, "Your boss said I once saved his life twice, is there perhaps so misunderstanding here?"
Upon hearing Jack’s explanation, Song Qiao finally belatedly realized what he ant.
When Chu Munan brought people to break into her and Lu Jingchen’s villa, this man had suffered a very severe gunshot wound. She later heard Yu Xia say that if the bullet had been removed half an hour later at that ti, Chu Munan might have been directly thrown into a coffin and buried, and perhaps next year during the Tomb-Sweeping Day, she could go and offer incense for him.
This was also thanks to Song Qiao’s direct suggestion at the ti.
However, this so-called "owes one life", Song Qiao doesn’t feel that this title should fall on her, as it was Yu Xia, not herself, who removed the bullet for Chu Munan.
So it should be said that Yu Xia saved Chu Munan, not herself.
As for another life, Jack surprisingly said that she had saved Chu Munan when she was a teenager, which left her sowhat confused. How could she not rember when she had saved this man?
Knowing that Jack was not lying to her and also understanding that Chu Munan had no intention of using her to threaten Lu Jingchen, her spirit relaxed imdiately, and she felt extrely sleepy, just wanting to have a good sleep.
Brought to a villa district under Beijing’s jurisdiction by Chu Munan, Song Qiao was unaware of the chaos her disappearance had caused in An City.
...
Lu Jingchen, because of a fever and the sudden worsening of his wound, fainted directly in their villa, which also resulted in chaos inside the villa. Even Ning Wan, who originally held hostility towards Lu Jingchen, couldn’t muster it anymore.
However, also because of Song Qiao’s disappearance, Ning Wan, Xi Mohan, and Assistant Xue, among others, didn’t get a wink of sleep.
Since Lu Jingchen’s family doctor was arranged by the Lu Family Mansion, his sudden fainting brought the family doctor to check, and they also notified the Lu Family Mansion subsequently.
Lu Tianming and Xu Qian, as well as Zuo Yuqing, arrived at the villa at noon.
Previously she had heard that Lu Tianming disliked Song Qiao and even said so things that embarrassed Song Qiao greatly, so upon seeing Lu Tianming, her hostility imdiately showed, especially when she saw Zuo Yuqing following behind Lu Tianming, her anger flared.
At this mont, her anger could have burned the three people she despised, Xi Mohan, Zuo Yuqing, and Lu Tianming!
"What’s going on, why did he faint all of a sudden?" Xu Qian’s face was full of worry, Lu Jingchen was resting in the bedroom upstairs, and currently, no one was allowed to disturb him, so everyone sat in the living room on the first floor.
Mrs. Chen served each person a cup of tea; hearing the old lady’s words, she wanted to say sothing but eventually restrained herself.
She was very aware that Lu Tianming didn’t like his wife, but the wife was very kind to them servants, especially to her, so between the two sides, Mrs. Chen leaned towards Song Qiao’s side.
Lu Tianming’s expression was also sowhat sour; even though he and this son always fought when they t, after all, it was his son, and he would worry if sothing happened.
His gaze fell directly on Special Assistant Xu, his voice carrying a hint of coldness, he spoke, "Assistant Xue, you speak."
Assistant Xue looked at Lu Tianming, hesitated a few tis, but ultimately couldn’t hold back and directly said, "The madam disappeared, the president was worried in the living room all night long and didn’t rest, and sohow he developed a fever, and then he fainted."
Hearing this, Zuo Yuqing’s face drained of color. Since Lu Jingchen had developed a fever surely due to jumping into the pool to save her yesterday, she hadn’t anticipated Song Qiao’s disappearance, and that Lu Jingchen cared so much for Song Qiao and hadn’t rested all night.
She clenched her hand at her side and then released it. Her face showed no expression, but she didn’t speak either.
Xu Qian’s face changed abruptly, directly asking, "What did you say? Song Qiao is missing?"
Seeing Xu Qian so surprised, including Ning Wan, even Assistant Xue was taken aback for a mont.
Lu Jingchen’s mother seed quite worried about Song Qiao.
Assistant Xue did not continue to hide the matter, and directly said, "Yes, last night the president had already asked to arrange for people to look for the madam, but there’s still no news so far."
Ning Wan’s gaze barely fell on Lu Tianming, her eyes filled with doubt.
Lu Tianming certainly noticed Ning Wan’s gaze, his expression darkened, and he sternly looked at Ning Wan, "Are you suspecting that I had Song Qiao taken away?"
Ning Wan was taken aback, then scoffed coldly, "Did I say that?"
When it ca to Lu Tianming, she wasn’t genuinely intimidated, not directly mocking him was already considered good.
Lu Tianming’s expression grew even darker, but he only snorted coldly, not exactly explaining, but it seed like he was emphasizing, "Although I don’t like that woman, I, Lu Tianming, am not so despicable as to resort to kidnapping. Her disappearance has nothing to do with ."
