gency room separated the two spaces.Ji Lin's driving skills have always been excellent, and he pays close attention to traffic rules. However, it is said that the truck malfunctioned before crashing i...In the crowd, Zhong Yang put away his phone and asked the man beside him, "Are you satisfied with the outcome You lose."

Qi Ce wore a crimson suit, making his features appear even more alluring and enigmatic than usual. He swirled his wine glass and raised his lips in a slight smirk, "You chose to take the big risk yourself, I didn't force you to text A Zheng."

"I'm just worried about disturbing Zheng Ge's rest. Did I forget that last time we gossiped in his hospital room and made him angry" Thinking of Huo Mingzheng's invisible pressure that day, Zhong Yang was still terrified.

At least Huo Mingzheng didn't really blame him.

Qi Ce smiled but didn't speak, raising his eyebrows slightly and scanning the distance to Fu Yan.

Many people in the circle say that Fu Yan and Li Qin look alike, but he doesn't think so. No one can compare to Xiao Qin's gentleness and tranquility.

He put down his glass, Zhong Yang chased after him, "Ce Ge, where are you going"

"I'm tired of playing, I'll go back to rest."

"Don't forget, your family is hosting tonight. It wouldn't be good for you to leave now, would it" Zhong Yang reminded him.

The Qi family is a renowned medical dynasty in the country, and their status in Nancheng is at the top of the pyramid, second only to the Huo and Fu families.

Tonight is a charity dinner hosted by Qi's family, and people from all walks of life are donating to the charitable foundation.

>Doing good deeds earns a good reputation.

Qi Ce’s smile was neither genuine nor fake, his eyes held a sinister glint. “I'm not a saint, so why pretend to be”

Qicer shook off Zhong Yang, got into a red sports car on the roadside, and started the car while dialing Li Qin's phone.

Until the phone only emitted busy tones, Li Qin didn't answer.

A gleam flashed in the eyes behind the glass lenses, and Qi Ce opened the keypad and dialed the villa's landline. After a moment, the call connected, and it was the nanny's voice: "Hello."

"Is Miss Li there I'm her friend, I couldn't get through on her phone."

The maid glanced upstairs. “She’s probably in the shower. Should I tell her you’re here”

"No, don't say I called."

Qi Ce hung up the phone, taking off his Bluetooth headset with one hand and tossing it onto the passenger seat.

Li Qin came out of the bathroom. She had almost fallen asleep while soaking in the bath and was yawning as she rubbed her wet hair.

Abruptly raising her eyes, she looked at Qi Ce who was leaning against the headboard.

Her face changed color instantly, but she suppressed it quickly.

Qi Ce is capable. The nanny probably didn't notice.

"How did you come here" she softly asked, tucking her long hair to the right and gently dabbing at her dampness with a towel.

The other hand calmly fastened the robe's collar.

Qi Ce looked straight at her, unbuttoning his suit jacket. "I missed you, so I came."

"Didn't we just see each other at the hospital yesterday" Li Qin walked up to the dressing table and sat down, combing her hair in front of the mirror.

"So many people, I can't even hug you. Seeing you is more heart-wrenching than not seeing you." Qi Ce gazed lovingly at her back.

Li Qin smiled gently.

Suddenly, a pair of hands clasped her from behind. She gasped, her mind conjuring images of violence, her face paling with terror.

"Xiaoqin" Qice immediately realized what was going on, holding her tighter with both hands and resting his chin on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, I scared you."

Li Qin closed her eyes, trying to push those images out of her mind.

Qi Ce said with heartache, "I shouldn't have lost control."

Just as Li Qin was about to speak, the nanny knocked on the door, "Miss Li, what's wrong"

The nanny is mopping the hallway. No one walks around at night, so it'll be clean and dry by morning.

Li Qin swallowed nervously, "I'm fine, I just tripped accidentally."

The nanny believed him and went downstairs with the floor polisher.

She pushed Qi Ce away, but he held on too tightly. His gaze drifted from her cheek to her chest, his breath hot against her skin. “When can I have you again”s still the original taste."When Huo Yuan saw the smile in her eyes, he seemed to be infected by it and also curved his lips. He took the spoon from her hand, scooped a small amount from the surface,...
