Clearly, just a moment ago the atmosphere was tense, with the air thick with smoke. But in the blink of an eye, there was a sudden one-eighty degree turn in his attitude!
Ran Xiangsi choked on a mouthful of coffee and started coughing violently!
What's wrong with Xing Chen? Did he take the wrong medicine?!
Just when Ran Xiangsi felt like her world was turning upside down, Xing Chen on the other side didn't let up. Seeing her choking, he even got up, walked over to her, and gently patted her back with unexpected tenderness.
"How did you choke? You're an adult, aren't you?" His voice was gentle, filled with doting affection, the perfect husband!
Initially, Ran Xiangsi wasn't coughing that badly, but after Xing Chen said that, she started coughing so hard she felt like the world was spinning.
Xing Chen's hand didn't stop moving, and he leaned close to her, whispering softly in her ear, "The gun is on the table. You know what to do. I never show mercy to disobedient women."
Just as Xing Chen finished speaking, before Ran Xiangsi could even react, she saw Li Guoliang stepping over. When he saw her and Xing Chen, his eyes were filled with shock!
"Young Master Xing, is this Mrs. Xing?" Li Guoliang adjusted his half-rim glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked in confusion.
At the same time, Li Guoliang took a closer look at the woman in front of him.
He had never heard of Xing Chen getting married; this suddenly appearing Mrs. Xing really made people suspicious. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come this way.
With Li Guoliang's question, Xing Chen smiled and replied, "She choked, Director Li. Please excuse us."
Xing Chen's attitude was very amicable and he spoke quite naturally, as if his relationship with Ran Xiangsi had always been this good.
"Not at all. Mrs. Xing looks somewhat familiar..." Li Guoliang looked at Ran Xiangsi again, and the feeling of familiarity grew stronger in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Ran Xiangsi's heart trembled. She stopped coughing and avoided Li Guoliang's gaze, "Maybe I just have one of those faces?"
"The more I look, the more familiar you seem..." Li Guoliang's suspicion deepened.
Xing Chen calmly observed their interaction and seemed to perceive something. He didn't let Li Guoliang's suspicion continue.
Continuing the action of gently patting her back, Xing Chen sat down next to Ran Xiangsi, very naturally and proficiently putting his arm around her shoulder. With a sudden force, he pulled her whole body into his embrace!
"Xiangsi, you left in a hurry last night and didn't get a chance to greet Director. Let me formally introduce you, this is Director Li."
Suddenly being hugged like that, Ran Xiangsi didn't understand what Xing Chen's real intention was. She struggled hard, trying to shake off his grasp!
Ran Xiangsi was about to say something harsh, but she was cut off by Xing Chen, who pointed to a brown paper envelope on the table.
It was bulging, and from the outside, it was impossible to tell what it contained.
But Xing Chen smiled meaningfully, "Alright, stop making a scene. The gift you wanted, I've brought it. Don't embarrass yourself in front of the Director."
A hidden blade behind every smile...
Absolutely a hidden blade behind every smile!!
Every word was filled with threats!
Hearing this, Ran Xiangsi immediately understood what Xing Chen meant.
The brown paper envelope contained the gun with her fingerprints on it.
If she didn't comply now, he would give the gun to Li Guoliang... then everything would come out.
