Chapter 221 - Meeting the Boss (2/2)
A knock on the door woke Qin Yi up. She opened her eyes, instantly revealing a clarity that made it appear as though she had not slept.
Xu Ning’s voice came out from outside the door, asking her, “Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, are you awake?”
Qin Yi squinted her cool phoenix eyes as an adorable voice came out, “Uncle, I’m awake. Give me just a moment, I’ll open the door.”
“Ok, I’ll wait for you,” Xu Ning’s voice came out again.
Qin Yi raised her hand and patted her hair, then arranged her tattered and torn clothes to make it seem as though she had just woken up.
The door, which was in fact made out of wooden planks, opened. Xu Ning’s boorish face immediately appeared before her.
“Hey, Jiaojiao, you’re finally awake. Right, these are the clothes and food I’ve prepared for you. Pack up a little and follow me to meet the Boss.”
Qin Yi smiled while accepting the things, but when she returned to her room, the smile disappeared completely.
She clutched onto the thin and white dress that Xu Ning had handed to her with a cold look in her eyes.
Xu Ning waited outside for nearly half an hour. Seeing that there were no movements inside, he could not help but ask, “Jiaojiao, are you ready?”
Just as he said this, the door opened. Xu Ning looked at the person on the other side in complete shock.
Qin Yi’s beautiful face appeared unrecognizable after she had cleaned the dirt off of her face. Dressed in the white dress Xu Ning had prepared for her, Qin Yi looked like an angel.
Qin Yi tapped her fingers together and looked at Xu Ning as though she felt wronged, “Uncle, are there other clothes? This makes me really cold.”
Xu Ning coughed a few times and looked at her apologetically, “Jiaojiao, I really don’t have anything else to give you. But don’t you worry! When you meet Boss, he will definitely give you what you want. Come, let’s go meet him.”
