C128 (2/2)
If she hadn't been signed by Qin, she would still be an ordinary student, living a life of hard work and saving money, still secretly loving young boys, never wearing such a beautiful and luxurious dress, holding a goblet, walking around a group of men like a dusty flower. Tang Xiaoyi was chatting about Roman history with a group of handsome men in Italy.
As for the others, she was only a student after all. She didn't like to talk to others, and naturally, there was a generation gap between her and the men here. She could only barely deal with a few sentences and wasn't willing to continue the topic.
”Sorry, please excuse me for a moment.” Tang Xiaoyi's eyes swept over Zhong Jiaguang as he walked towards the elevator and immediately said to Qiao Yifeng.
Today, she only had one assistant, who was working on the latest news together with Little Zhao. Her assistant was a fish that belonged to Lu Jia International, a pitiful fish in the sea. She used to be a psychiatrist, but now she was surrounded by a few men.
Although there were rumors about him and his wife, people in the business world all knew his personality. He would never have any feelings for women. At most, he would just go to bed.
Almost all the women he fancied would become social flowers of a higher class. That was one of the reasons he wanted to find a permanent bed.
He didn't want any wild flowers or grass anymore. It was also good to only grow a single flower that he could admire on his own.
Although it looked like he was raising a mistress, he had never met anyone he liked.
Tang Xiao Ai had let him have the idea of finding a lover, and sometimes even thought that it would be good if they were to get married.
Zhong Yuqing pressed the close button on the elevator. Suddenly, a woman in a short blue gown rushed in.
Tang Xiao Yi gasped for breath. Fortunately, she had adapted to her high heels and was able to run without problem. She quickly retreated to avoid the shadow that was following her.
The elevator was completely shut down. Tang Xiao Yi and Zhong Yuqing were standing in a small sealed space, so they could hear each other's heartbeats.
Zhong Yuqing liked blue because the sky allowed him to relax and think more.
In particular, people with white skin wore refreshing blue dresses, looking more like a blue lotus in a snowy mountain.
In such a small space with him, Tang Xiao Ai suddenly felt a little scared. It was as if she was afraid of being sealed off.
The words she had prepared were stuck in her throat. She could only watch as the elevator ascended one step at a time, unable to utter a single word.
Zhong Yuqing didn't say anything either.
When he smiled and spoke, he sounded like a gentle angel, but when he was silent, he was even more terrifying than the depths of the sea.
The two of them just stood there in the elevator in silence until a loud sound rang out and the elevator instantly turned pitch black.
Tang Xiao Ai was brought into a warm embrace before she could react.
The alarm sounded outside, yet Tang Xiao Yi and Zhong Yuqing didn't make a sound. They didn't even exclaim in surprise as they waited quietly in the darkness.
Tang Xiaoyi was scared senseless. She was still in Zhong Yuqing's embrace, not moving at all. Even her breathing had become still.
In the past, she was very afraid of the elevator because she had heard that there was an accident in the elevator. She was also afraid of the airlock, so she didn't dare to call out now.
”Don't be afraid, you'll be able to leave soon.” Zhong Yuqing finally spoke; his voice was still as calm as before.
The elevator would be overhauled every day, and there wouldn't be any problems at all. He wasn't sure what was going on right now, but the only thing he was sure of was that the security personnel would come to deal with it as soon as possible.
It took a lot of effort for Tang Xiao Yi to recover her breath. She breathed in large mouthfuls of air as she trembled. The source of her fear was the dark memories of her childhood and the shadow she left behind.
