Chapter 252 Kissing Another Man Right in Front of Me (2/2)

Xin Qing knew that voice far too well. Mortified, she shoved Jiang Qianren away from her violently and covered her lips with her hand. Ying Qingcang was already pushing the door open and stepping inside. Rong Siman was right beside him.

Rong Siman's hateful gaze skimmed along Xin Qing's body. All of a sudden, she smiled at Jiang Qianren. ”Mr. Jiang, you should open your eyes and look closely at who she really is! Some women might seem refined and respectable on the surface, but they are, in fact, quite free with their favors.”

Jiang Qianren regretted his actions deeply; more so after he noticed the fact that Xin Qing was almost in tears and the smug look on Rong Siman's face. He scowled, and then he yelled at Rong Siman, ”I like her no matter how she is, and it's none of your d*mn business!”

Xin Qing did not want to linger at this place for even a second longer. With all her strangth, she tried to shake her hand loose from Jiang Qianren's grip. Instead of releasing her, Jiang Qianren tried to pull her into his arms. Xin Qing panicked and raised her head to yell at him, ”Please! I beg you! Let go of me!”

”Xin Qing!” Jiang Qianren was startled by Xin Qing's outburst. He had never seen this side of Xin Qing before, the one where she had tears streaking down her cheeks and was biting into her lips so hard that it might draw blood. ”What's the matter? I... I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't cry!”

A series of color transformations occured inside Ying Qingcang's eyes right then. First, there was a dark, murky color, which slowly turned pale. Then, the paleness disappeared and was instantly filled with pitch-black darkness. He stared at Jiang Qianren coldly. ”Obviously, you have yet to bag this woman. Want me to give you a few pointers?”

Xin Qing took the opportunity to push herself away from Jiang Qianren and ran out. Outside, Ah Che had already begun to notice something wrong; he rushed in and brought Xin Qing away.

Jiang Qianren still wanted to give chase, but Ying Qingcang stopped him.

”Just give up, man. The one she loves is me.”

A dark look formed in Rong Siman's eyes, though she stifled her anger and lowered her head.

Jiang Qianren glanced at Ying Qingcang and laughed. ”So what? Right now, you're with another woman.”

”So...” Ying Qingcang smirked. ”Even if that's the case, she won't love you.”

”We'll see about that!” Jiang Qianren took off in huge strides.

Only then did Rong Siman muttered in a disgruntled tone, ”He's not serious about marrying Xin Qing, is he?”

”What can you do about it?” Ying Qingcang lowered his head and laughed. ”If Xin Enterprises really does end up having the Jiang family's backing, we can forget about ever reclaiming it.”

”But that won't do!” Rong Siman's eyes widened in a glare. Then, she tried to feel him out, so she asked, ”Ah Cang, why don't you work on Xin Qing again? Maybe try seducing her?”

Ying Qingcang stared at her. ”Why? You're willing to trade me with Xin Enterprises?”

”Come on, it's not like you love her for real, right? If you can coax her into handing Xin Enterprise over to you, isn't that good?” All of a sudden, Rong Siman was excited with her own idea. Why did she not think of that before? After all, it was impossible for Ying Qingcang to betray her now. He would just be using Xin Qing's feelings to get what they wanted, that was all. Surely, that much would not hurt.

Ying Qingcang tilted his head and thought for a moment. ”And what if I have to sleep with her to do that?”

”No!” Rong Siman shook her head. It turned out that she had forgotten one thing: Ying Qingcang would only get an erection when he was with Xin Qing. How could she allow those two to be on the same bed? No! Absolutely not!

”Okay, then. We'll just wait until Xin Qing marries into the Jiang family, and then we'll figure something out.” Ying Qingcang began to make his way to their table and said, ”I'm hungry. Let's eat.”

Jiang Qianren knew that he had really screwed up this time; he had made Xin Qing angry. She would never pick up no matter how many times he called. Left completely helpless, he could do nothing else but return to the capital for the time being. He had even sent her a text before he left. In his text, he told Xin Qing that his mother wanted to meet with her. He asked her to give them a call when she had time.

Xin Qing ignored him entirely; she had deleted his text without even reading it. Then, she burrowed herself under the blanket, biting her nails as she cried.

The fact that she had allowed another man to kiss her in front of Ying Qingcang had left Xin Qing feeling dirty and utterly mortified. When she recalled the look in Ying Qingcang's eyes this afternoon, she felt a strong urge to give Jiang Qianren a beating. After spending a long time crying, she suddenly sat up.

”Ah Cang must be so angry today. Will he sneak in here again tonight?” That thought swirled inside Xin Qing's mind over and over again. During dinner, her mind was scattered and unfocus, like she was miles away. Monica had been coming home late for the past few days, so it was just her and Wangwang tonight.

Wangwang asked her what was wrong, and she told him that she did not sleep well last night. After dinner, she ran back upstairs. First, she took a bath, and then she changed into Ying Qingcang's favorite lingerie.

”Why do I even bother dressing up like this?” Xin Qing glanced at herself in the mirror and noted just how enticing her body looked. Xin Qing glared at the mirror and patted her cheeks. ”He even had a lunch date with that woman this afternoon! Hell, he was even living together with that woman!” Some time during her one-sided rant, her tears had slid down her cheeks.

Rationally, she understood the predicament that Ying Qingcang was in. But once rationality ebbed away, all her woes and suffering came pouring out.

In the end, she dove onto the bed in tears, curling herself up as she cried. Some time later, she became too exhausted from all that crying and fell asleep...

At midnight, Ying Qingcang silently pushed open the front door. Right now, he rejoiced at the fact that he had forbidden Xin Qing to get another dog after Le Le's accidental death; he would not have been able to sneak into the house otherwise. Just like last time, he slowly crept up the stairs and got to the second floor, after which he opened the massive purple door. Inside the room, he saw a long, caterpillar-like bundle on the bed.

He crept forward silently and sat down on the edge of the bed. Then, he reached out and tugged the blanket downwards, revealing a tear-stained face.

Ying Qingcang's heart soften instantly. On the way here, all he could think about was giving this little minx a good spanking the moment he saw her. How dared she allow another man to kiss her. But now that he had seen the redness and puffiness of her eyes as well as the drops of residual tears still clinging to her lashes, all his anger dissipated and was replaced with hurt.

Reaching out, he ran his fingers over the planes of that tiny face. He lowered his head and kissed her eyes. That blue pill appeared between his fingers again. He was moments away from crushing the pill when he suddenly saw the woman on the bed opening her eyes.

Those eyes held a brightness far clearer than even the moonlight outside the window. Just like that, the light from those eyes shone straight into his heart!
