Chapter 134 I Want to Go to the Hot Springs with You. (2/2)

Zhang Mi leaped into the air. ”F*ck! I don't want him even if he's the only man alive in this world. Scum like him is nothing but trash!”

Apparently, Zhang Mi's poignant feelings vanished entirely at the mere mention of Young Master Shen's name. After that, they went back to helping Shi Qianqian pick out her wedding dress. In the end, they ordered 4 dresses. About the same time, the doorbell rang. Standing in the doorway, Ying Qingcang saw Zhang Mi, who was currently dressed in a red evening gown. What he saw caused his face to change.

”You didn't try anything, right?” he asked.

Despite being utterly confused at his strange question, Xin Qing shook her head. ”Nope!”

Ying Qingcang took Xin Qing's hand and they left. Ah Che was nowhere to be seen, so Ying Qingcang must have driven here on his own. After that, he drove them to the same hot spring resort that they visited two years ago. That night, as the pair sat in the small cottage to have dinner, Xin Qing recalled his strange behavior this afternoon.

”This afternoon, why did you ask me whether I tried any of the dresses?”

Ying Qingcang was in the middle of peeling shrimps for her. At her question, his hands stilled for a brief moment. Then, he said, ”I have to be the first one to see you in a wedding dress!”

”Haha!” Xin Qing fed him a piece of pork rib. ”I had the same thing in mind. That's why I didn't try them!”

Ying Qingcang raised his brows and smirked. ”Since when did you become so obedient?”

”I bet you like it!” Apparently, Xin Qing was getting more and more thick-faced too.

Of course, Ying Qingcang would not let her off the hook. ”Mm. How nice it'll be if you're this obedient later when we're in the hot spring!”

”Humph!” Xin Qing glared at him. ”Pervert.”

Ying Qingcang ignored her. Instead, he picked up the pace in the task of feeding her; the sooner they were done with dinner, the sooner they could be doing more important things. In the end, Xin Qing insisted that they take a walk in the area, claiming that it would be a waste if they did not breathe more of the countryside's fresh air since it was rare for them to be here.

”From now on, I'll bring you here every weekend,” Ying Qingcang said as they strolled around the resort hand in hand. The place was not crowded at this hour, so Xin Qing was about to ask Ying Qingcang to secretly pick a flower from the paddy field. That was when she noticed a woman walking towards them. The woman looked a bit familiar.

Fang Lu barely spared Xin Qing a glance before she greeted Ying Qingcang sultrily. ”President Ying! What a coincidence! You're here for the hot springs as well?”

Xin Qing was starting to understand the reason behind Monica's pained expression whenever she spoke of Fang Lu. ”This woman is a real piece of work,” Xin Qing thought. ”Who would dress in a split skirt, low neckline gown to visit a frigging paddy field?”

”You want that flower?” Ying Qingcang lowered his head and asked Xin Qing. Xin Qing gave him a smile. ”Yup. The purple one!”

”Miss Xin!” Fang Lu shouted, her face appalled. ”You can buy it at the florist! Why bother picking it? Didn't you see the signs over there? It's prohibited to step or pick the flowers.”

Ying Qingcang did not wait for Xin Qing to speak. ”The whole resort is mine. I can pick whichever flower I want and it's still none of your business.”

”Ah!” Fang Lu's expression changed. Then she laughed. ”So President Ying owned this place! How awesome!”

Ignoring the other woman's flattering, Ying Qingcang placed the flower on top of Xin Qing's head. Then he wrapped his arm around Xin Qing's waist and together, they turned around. ”Still up for the stroll?”

”Nah. The mood's ruined.”

At the sight of the pouting woman in his arms, Ying Qingcang pulled out his phone and dialed a number. ”There's a woman called Fang Lu staying here. Chase her out. Do not admit her next time. From now on, she's persona non grata.”

”President Ying!” Behind them, Fang Lu's wretched voice rang out. Fang Lu did not anticipate Ying Qingcang to be so indecorous as to chase her out like this.

Xin Qing turned her head around. ”Miss Fang, is it? If you're here to talk shop, then by all means, go ahead. But if your intention is to make moves on Ying Qingcang, then sorry. He's out of your league. So I hope you stop harassing my man again. If you no longer value your self-respect, that's fine with us. But we still value ours!”

”Well said, Ah Qing!” Ying Qingcang said, secretly pleased as he led Xin Qing away. ”Hah. Seems like those foolish women do have some use after all,” Ying Qingcang thought. ”At least they're able to provoke Xin Qing's possessiveness!”

Fuming, Fang Lu returned to her room. A service staff was already there waiting for her when she arrived. Fang Lu packed her things and, when the service staff was not looking, she slipped into another floor. Fang Qingping stayed on that floor. The plan was for her to seduce Ying Qingcang. Even if she could not get him into bed, at least she could get him to leave Xin Qing's side long enough for Fang Qingping to approach Xin Qing. Fang Qingping could then fool Xin Qing into his own room. After that, Fang Lu would bring Ying Qingcang to Fang Qingping's room to catch them in the act of cheating.

”You should just forget it!” Fang Qingping got dressed, and then he escorted the woman he had just met to his door. Turning around, he looked at Fang Lu. ”You don't have what it takes to handle Ying Qingcang. He has no eyes for you at all.”

Fang Lu tossed the couch's throw pillow onto the floor. ”What does that b*tch have that I don't?” she yelled angrily.

”Pfft!” The corner of Fang Qingping's lips twisted into a frown. ”She's better than you in every aspect.”

”You...” Fang Lu sneered. ”Why? Don't tell me you've fallen for her too?”
