Qin Qin’s face darkened as she set down her knife and fork, looking at Qi Tianshang, "At the wedding, will you really give me that half of the Antidote?"
"Of course, I, Qi Tianshang, never lie to anyone. As long as you marry me, I will give you the Antidote at the wedding," Qi Tianshang said softly with a softened look.
Qin Qin bit her lower lip, her hands on the table tightening slightly, "...Fine! I hope you keep your word, or else you’ll never hear the end of it from me, Qin Qin."
Qi Tianshang stood up, walked over to Qin Qin, and took her hand. Qin Qin wanted to struggle at first, but gave up. She needed to make Qi Tianshang let his guard down and hand over the Antidote.
"Eat some more. After we finish, we’ll go shopping and buy some things you need."
Qi Tianshang encouraged Qin Qin to eat more, and she reluctantly swallowed some food.
After they finished eating, Han Ye suddenly came in from outside, whispered something to Qi Tianshang, who glanced at Qin Qin and said quietly, "Wait here for a moment, I will be right back."
Qin Qin nodded, seemingly unconcerned, and Qi Tianshang smiled at her before he and Han Ye walked upstairs. Recently, Mo Yunchen had been very active, destroying many of his bases in Jingdu City. Even though they were mostly small forces, it still caused him considerable losses. He needed to discuss some matters with Han Ye upstairs.
Qin Qin watched their retreating backs, then turned and walked out of the hall, standing in a spot where the surveillance couldn’t see, in a fairly secluded area.
Familiar footsteps sounded behind her, and she turned around happily, softening her gaze when she saw Mo Yunchen standing in front of her.
Mo Yunchen suddenly took her hand and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe it. Qin Qin looked around and realized nobody was watching them before she sighed in relief.
"Mo Yunchen, what are you doing? Be careful or others might see!"
His sudden action startled her. She looked down and saw Mo Yunchen wiping the hand Qi Tianshang had touched. With a helpless twist of her mouth, she said,
"Are you saying I’m dirty?"
Qin Qin looked at Mo Yunchen with his unremarkable face and pretended to ask in a serious tone.
Mo Yunchen looked up, his ordinary face unable to hide his long, narrow, and profound phoenix eyes, "I despise him for being dirty!"
Qin Qin’s lips twitched again as she pushed Mo Yunchen away, "It’s been wiped. After he touched my hand, I already wiped it."
She has a thing for cleanliness too!
Mo Yunchen’s lips curved up in satisfaction. His ordinary face somehow looked charming and roguish, making her feel as if his alter ego had emerged.
"Mo Yunchen, to be honest, your alter ego is quite nice!"
She covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, suddenly remembering the cute jealousy between his first and second personas in the past.
Mo Yunchen’s eyes darkened. As Qin Qin was about to say something else, footsteps approached, and she straightened up, distancing herself from Mo Yunchen, who now stood behind her.
Qi Tianshang’s figure appeared in front of Qin Qin. He strode forward, "Why are you standing here?"
"The air is fresher over here," Qin Qin found an excuse, standing amidst several trees and flower beds, which indeed seemed better.
Qi Tianshang moved to embrace Qin Qin, but she stepped back and walked ahead.
Qi Tianshang’s lips curled slightly. Why was she getting angry at him again?
Inside the shopping mall in the city center, Qin Qin walked slowly beside Qi Tianshang, keeping a distance that was slightly too far. She slightly leaned towards Mo Yunchen’s direction.
In the jewelry store on the first floor, the jewelry manager personally welcomed Qi Tianshang and led them to the VIP booth, instructing the staff to bring over the expensive jewelry for Qin Qin and Qi Tianshang to choose from.
Qi Tianshang picked up a ten-carat diamond ring and held it up to Qin Qin, "How about this? I’ve heard women like diamonds!"
Qin Qin glanced at the diamond ring in Qi Tianshang’s hand, her expression darkening, "You have quite unique tastes."
She had no interest in these jewels. If the person giving them was wrong, even priceless jewelry in front of her would not spark her interest.
Her hand touched the ring she was wearing. Qi Tianshang’s expression darkened, "It’s not that my tastes are special, but that you would not like any diamond ring here. In your heart, none of them could match the ring on your finger, right?"
Qin Qin’s expression also darkened, her hand clutching the ring tightening.
Qi Tianshang spread his hands, his expression indifferent, "In the future, you will wear the ring I give you, and this one won’t be needed anymore."
Qin Qin looked coldly at Qi Tianshang, and Mo Yunchen behind her raised his head to look at him, his phoenix eyes flashing a cold, ominous aura.
