Shockingly Mad Thing

Sheng Jie looked at An Qi's pained expression and thought that his words had been too harsh, so he began to sweat with was filled with guilt. He'd only criticized An Qi because he was afraid that people would discover her identity. He didn't know that An Qi was so fragile!

His words had clearly made her quite sad. In fact, she seemed to be rendered speechless for the moment after facing his criticism.

At the thought that the frosty devil Leng was still closely watching the development of this situation behind the door, Sheng Jie had the impulse to smash his head against the wall.

"Ah well, it's for your own good. Look at it this way... It's already not okay for you to deal with your personal affairs at work, and after causing such a ruckus, the staff in the cafeteria will not be in the mood to work..." The content of Sheng Jie's speech was not that different from what he'd said two minutes ago, but his motivation now was worlds apart from before.

Before, Sheng Jie was motivated out of fear of An Qi, but more accurately, fear of Leng Yuchen. But, in the eyes of the overly smug Yu Hao, this change in Sheng Jie was definitely due to the fact that he'd remembered who he was, and that's why he was being so respectful.

When Sheng Jie had finished speaking and was looking at An Qi carefully, Yu Hao suddenly turned around to look behind him and patted Sheng Jie on the back. He then said earnestly, "Little brother, I understand how you feel."

Sheng Jie was surprised to hear this, and he couldn't help but wonder... What the hel* could he have possibly understood? Won't everything be exposed If he really does understand everything?

If Boss Leng was to find out about all of this, he'd definitely skin Sheng Jie alive! Sheng Jie was already outwardly strong and inwardly weak after Yu Hao had shocked him like that, and now, he looked even guiltier.

Upon seeing the change in Sheng Jie, Yu Hao was feeling quite smug. At that moment, it seemed that he had completely surrendered to his extraordinary temperament.

As Yu Hao threw his arms around Sheng Jie's neck, he looked cautiously at An Qi, then said, "Brother, come here, I'd like to have a word with you."

Sheng Jie was unwilling to obey, but he allowed himself to be pulled over by Yu Hao. But, all the while he wondered... Why is Yu Hao pulling me in the direction of the door, where Boss Leng is standing right in front of?

At the moment, the distance between them and Leng Yuchen was only one single solitary door! Sheng Jie had no choice but to glance back at An Qi as he tried to send his unique SOS signal to her with his eyes.

An Qi, who had just recovered a tiny bit of her strength, could only slap her forehead with her hand and smile helplessly at Sheng Jie, basically saying without words, "I'm sorry, but I can't save you!"

But, in Sheng Jie's eyes, hers was still the smile of an angel goddess. Yu Hao had thought that he was being clever and cunning by coercing Sheng Jie to say a lot of good things about him, while also bad mouthing An Qi. This was truly the first time that Sheng Jie had met someone who was so petty!

Sheng Jie figured that this whole situation was the heavens arranging a huge obstacle for An Qi before she could find her happiness. In fact, this arrogant and conceited man, who grew up poor in the countryside, yet somehow managed to move to the big city and become successful, indeed fit the bill of being one massive obstacle!

As Sheng Jie was thinking all of these things, Yu Hao's mobile phone rang. Yu Hao took a glance at the screen, which showed that someone tagged as "Lovely Bunny" was calling, and Sheng Jie immediately associated the name with Gu Xiaonan.

Haha, what an insult to bunnies! And… Who in the world would ever call that woman lovely? Sheng Jie thought to himself, while inwardly chuckling.

But, Yu Hao apparently thought differently, as his care and concern for Gu Xiaonan could be seen clearly from his nervousness in answering the phone. But, Sheng Jie also thought that he might be deliberately showing faux affection for Gu Xiaonan in front of An Qi.

As he picked up the phone, Yu Hao cooed, "Baby, what's wrong? Did you miss me?"

Sheng Jie shuddered and almost vomited on the spot upon hearing Yu Hao's gooey tone and smarmy words.

"Guess where I am now?"

"Baby you're so smart."

"So... Shall I come and find you now?"

"Alright, you just wait for me in the same place, okay?"

Listening to Yu Hao's sickly sweet words, bystanders might've thought that he was dating a high school student from his teenagish saccharine lingo. But, if one was to think about it more carefully, Gu Xiaonan did actually have the ability to imitate women of any age perfectly.

After he'd hung up the phone, Yu Hao seemed to unsatisfied. He surely would still like to fabricate even more lies about An Qi, but alas, Gu Xiaonan was waiting for him upstairs.

These days, both of them were busy preparing for their wedding. Gu Xiaonan's temper was extremely volatile. In fact, she was like a walking stick of dynamite, as she would blow up when faced with any minor problem.

For this reason, Yu Hao was loathe to anger her. So, he could only apologize to Sheng Jie and take his leave. As soon as Sheng Jie heard that Yu Hao was leaving, he was so elated that he almost burst into tears on the spot.

If Sheng Jie hadn't followed Leng Yuchen since he was a child, experiencing all kinds of big events and major situations, he could've been fooled by Yu Hao's words, "Follow me my little brother, and the entire world shall be yours to experience!"

It was no wonder that An Qi had been fooled by him back then. He was such a gifted person, it was almost a waste of his talent that he hadn't entered a pyramid scheme organization!

"That's okay, buddy. You go and settle your affairs first. Anyway, I have to go and supervise An Qi while she completes the report." In order to get rid of Yu Hao quickly, Sheng Jie had to pretend to be angry with An Qi again.

As Yu Hao was leaving, he shot Sheng Jie a secretive look, which seemed to be saying, "Yes... Not bad! You, young man, are very respectable and have a bright future ahead of you!"

Sheng Jie felt speechless at the moment, and when he turned around and hurried to help An Qi, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the red marks on her neck. It was a shocking sight, and fortunately, Boss Leng hadn't seen it, as if he were to discover those marks, Yu Hao would never leave this place alive!

"An Qi, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Sheng Jie immediately asked.

An Qi shook her head, then pointed upwards.

"Huh? Are you saying that you want to go back to the fourth floor, even though you're injured? This won't do! I'd better take you back to the villa," Sheng Jie said.

An Qi continued to shake her head, insisting that Sheng Jie send her to the fourth floor. This placed Sheng Jie in a tough position, so he leaned close to An Qi's ear and whispered, "Madam, I can't decide such a big matter. Boss Leng is just behind that door, so shall we just ask him make the decision?"

Sheng Jie felt that he had finally said something sensible, and while he was secretly congratulating himself, An Qi quietly raised her collar, not wanting Leng Yuchen to similarly discover the marks on her neck. However, Sheng Jie's suggestion and An Qi's precautions were both for nothing, as when they looked behind the door, Leng Yuchen had quietly left already!

"Hmm... That's strange! We arrived together, but I volunteered to come over here alone in order to prevent Boss Leng from revealing his identity in advance," Sheng Jie exclaimed in surprise upon seeing that Leng Yuchen was gone.

Sheng Jie then bowed his head and became lost in his thoughts, while An Qi just remained silent. After a while, An Qi pointed to Sheng Jie's pocket, and Sheng Jie immediately understood what she was meaning, so he took out his mobile phone. But, as he'd expected, Leng Yuchen hadn't left any messages.

"Hmm... Perhaps he's been temporarily delayed by something," Sheng Jie surmised as he scratched the back of his head.

Unfortunately, An Qi was not as optimistic as him. She felt that Leng Yuchen would do mad and shocking things on her behalf. She just wondered how mad and shocking they would be...
