Chapter 334 - A Friend (1/2)
Today should be the first day Qin Sheng had arrived in Tsingtao officially. Apparently, Tsingtao extended a warm welcome to his arrival. The weather today was extremely fine and comfortably warm. The sun was shining brightly. There wasn’t any sea breeze at all. Standing in front of the French windows, one could see many strolling visitors and passers-by at the seaside. Happy and carefree, the smiles on their faces were bright.
Song Zhiqiu slept in for a while. It was not until Qin Sheng went to make breakfast that she got up, took a shower, and changed into another suit of pajamas. After that, she lay in a sling chair in front of the French windows drowsily and enjoyed the comfort as the sunlight shone on her face. A while later, she picked up her mobile and made several calls. That was because she had made appointments with two of her friends originally, who were both descendants of the Song family’s cooperation partners in Tsingtao and quite close to her. Qin Sheng’s arrival completely disrupted her plan.
After Song Zhiqiu finished making the calls, she let out a sigh and felt somewhat upset. Though she and Qin Sheng, who were both grown-ups, did not regret doing what they had done last night, following that, how should they deal with each other?
Qin Sheng, who had made breakfast, called out to her, “Alluring woman, time to eat breakfast.” At this moment, Qin Sheng was as upset as Song Zhiqiu. He had drunk too much last night. Originally, he had been in a bad mood. He had even indulged and degenerated himself completely. In the end, he had been controlled by his instincts, made the call to Song Zhiqiu without reason, and played with her for a whole night without reason.
Upon hearing Qin Sheng call out, Song Zhiqiu replied with a random “Oh.” After a while, she forced a smile and walked out of the bedroom.
When hearing the sound of the footsteps, Qin Sheng, who was pouring juice, lifted up his head subconsciously and stared at Song Zhiqiu. Song Zhiqiu was dressed in white sling pajamas, bathing herself in the sunlight. Her body sent forth a unique fragrance. Her hair was somewhat wet. She was barefoot, baring her slender legs as well as a large piece of snow-white skin on her chest and her neck. There were some hickeys on her chest, which had been done mischievously by Qin Sheng last night. She looked extremely sexy. Any man who looked at her could not control himself well.
Qin Sheng stared at Song Zhiuqiu so straightforwardly that anyone could sense the masculine desire in his eyes. It was not until Song Zhiqiu snorted that Qin Sheng retracted his stare in a hurry and said, “Come over here quickly.”
Song Zhiqiu teased him by saying, “If you want to stare at me, do it openly. Don’t look at me with shifty eyes. So nasty of you.”
Qin Sheng refuted her randomly as he replied, “It’s not like I didn’t enjoy staring at you last night.”
Song Zhiqiu was upset about what had happened yesterday and did not know how she should face Qin Sheng. What Qin Sheng said made her blush. However, she acted disapprovingly.
Song Zhiqiu and Qin Sheng stared at each other, lowered their heads, and did not say anything at all as they enjoyed the breakfast. The breakfast that Qin Sheng had made was pretty simple, including fried eggs and bread along with a fruit platter and orange juice.
Due to the crazy thing that they had done last night, the atmosphere between Qin Sheng and Song Zhiqiu was somewhat awkward. In the end, Qin Sheng could not help asking, “About last night?”
Song Zhiqiu broke the talk short in a hurry and replied quite solemnly, “Let’s stop talking about it since it has passed. Let’s act as if nothing happened.” It was not until after she said so that she resumed the imposing manner of the Eldest Lady of the Song family.
As a matter of fact, Qin Sheng definitely planned to meet with Song Zhiqiu. However, he had not intended to meet her so soon. Never did it occur to him that the relationship between Song Zhiqiu and him would develop so quickly. What had happened last night disrupted Qin Sheng’s arrangement. He did not know how he should get along with Song Zhiqiu in the following days, since many things would be awkward.
Qin Sheng let out a sigh. He was a disowned dog under somebody else’s roof now. Originally, he had planned to come to Tsingtao to ask for some favors from Song Zhiqiu. Consequently, at this moment, he did not look confident at all.
He wanted to avenge his enemies and go back to Hangzhou and Shanghai. Consequently, he had to stand out in Tsingtao…
Song Zhiqiu lifted up her head and sensed that Qin Sheng’s mood was somewhat down. She somewhat could not bear it so she asked, “When did you arrive in Tsingtao?”
Qin Sheng lifted up his head, smiled, and replied, “Yesterday afternoon.”
Song Zhiqiu asked tentatively, “Did you come to Tsingtao for travel or business?” She wanted to figure out Qin Sheng’s purpose. Someone whom she liked had disrupted the pace of her life all of a sudden and thrown her originally peaceful heart into chaos. She did not like that kind of feeling at all.
Qin Sheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, “Neither. I can be counted as a homeless loner now. That is the reason why I chose to come to Tsingtao. I wonder, can Miss Song take me in?”
Song Zhiqiu did not trust Qin Sheng’s wording at all. She sneered as she said, “Do you think I’ll believe what you said? Could you ever become a loner? Take thousands of steps back, it is benevolent of me to not kill you. Is it possible that I will take you in? Even if I won’t kill you, in your opinion, will the Song family let you go?”
Qin Sheng let out a sigh as he replied, “I apologize to you for what happened in the beginning.”
Song Zhiqiu smiled as she replied, “I don’t accept your apology. Consequently, after we finish breakfast, you’d better disappear before I change my mind. Never should you come into my sight again.”
Qin Sheng drank up the remaining orange juice in the cup and replied insensibly, “The way I see it, you won’t be that merciless. Even if your family members intend to kill me, you definitely will protect me.”
