Chapter 80 - Sleeping In His Bed (2/2)

......

Tang Qiu retreated in fear. “W-what are you doing? Who are you?” Her heels hit the bed, and she fell back. The masked man loomed above her like a predator, his cold eyes boring into her. “Go away!” she cried out.

“Why?” the man asked darkly. “So you can keep other men close?”

Ning Mufan had finally recovered enough to stand. He staggered towards Jiang Shaocheng. “Leave her alone. If you have a problem, take it out with me. She’s just a woman!”

Jiang Shaocheng raised his arm. Ning Mufan managed to dodge his first punch, but not his second. He crumpled to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Tang Qiu lunged forward, but her injured arm slowed her, and the masked man seized her wrist before she could attack him. She panicked and bit down hard on his arm, but the man didn’t even frown–he just stared at her coldly.

“Let go, Young Mistress!” He Lei ran into the room. “That’s the young master’s… bodyguard!”

Tang Qiu relaxed when she heard that the masked assailant worked for her husband. She looked at the blood staining his shirt and licked her lips awkwardly. “I didn’t know you were here on my husband’s behalf. Why didn’t you say something earlier? I’m sorry…”

“And I didn’t know you still remembered that you have a husband,” the man sneered.

His sarcasm made her unhappy. “Of course I remember that I have a husband. But how can you hurt innocent people, even as his bodyguard?” Tang Qiu shook him off and wanted to help Ning Mufan up, but couldn’t escape the man’s vice grip. “Let me go!” she cried.

“You’re coming with me!” Let go? He had left her alone for a day, and she took that as an invitation to elope with another man. Jiang Shaocheng wasn’t letting her out of his sight.

“Just because you’re my husband’s bodyguard doesn’t mean you can be so unreasonable,” Tang Qiu retorted angrily. “Why did you beat up Ning Mufan? And why aren’t you letting me go?”

Jiang Shaocheng couldn’t bear to let her gaze linger on another man anymore. He pulled her to leave, but Tang Qiu stayed bolted to the floor, looking at the injured Ning Mufan. “I’m not going anywhere. If you want to leave, you can do so alone!”

Jiang Shaocheng barked out a furious laugh. “So you want to stay with him?”
