Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Due to her discomfort, Rong Qi spent the whole day lying on her desk.
After finishing classes in the afternoon, Han Ning and the others wanted to wait for Rong Qi, but she declined.
Since Xu Yi was always by her side, she didn’t want others to see her disheveled appearance.
Menstrual pain typically lasted for two days, so Rong Qi predicted that she would feel much better by tomorrow noon. She sighed in relief and began to plan her time.
“Madam, how about 1 call Master Shen to come pick you up? You look really uncomfortable like this,” said Xu Yi. He carried Rong Qi’s bag and followed behind her step by step.
Rong Qi shook her head and said, “No need. He should be busy these days.”
Managing Qi Yan Studio’s affairs was no easy task, especially when it came to dealing with the mysterious owner who never showed up in person. Even if Ye Nanshen had signed a contract with them, that person wouldn’t necessarily abide by the agreement; he was quite capricious.
In a way, that person was more capricious than Rong Qi, so she didn’t want to bother Ye Nanshen with such a trivial matter.
Rong Qi knew Ye Nanshen had already done enough for her. When she woke up this morning, she saw the deep circles under Ye Nanshen’s eyes. She knew he had been worried about her and hadn’t slept the whole night. So, she wanted him to rest.
“Alright then.” Xu Yi held a piece of straw in his mouth, spread his hands helplessly, and followed behind Rong Qi.
Rong Qi bit her lip, feeling dizzy from the pain, and her vision occasionally blurred. She quickly sat down on a nearby rock.
Seeing Rong Qi sit down, Xu Yi hurriedly supported her and said, “Madam, this won’t do. Your complexion is too frightening. Let me bring the car in. You wait here, I’ll be right back!”
With that said, Xu Yi carried Rong Qi’s bag and rushed outside, causing a gust of wind.
Rong Qi shivered, unconsciously tightening her thin jacket. Leaning against the rock, she closed her eyes slightly to rest. However, she had just closed her eyes when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps around her.
Rong Qi opened her eyes abruptly, propping herself up against the rock as she stood up. Her pair of eyes, sparkling like a galaxy, turned frosty.
“Heh, Rong Qi, you’re indeed here!”
An arrogant and sinister voice resounded.
Rong Qi looked up, furrowing her brows as she looked at the person and asked, “Who are you?”
In the blink of an eye, Rong Qi was surrounded by seven or eight people.
The leader sneered, “You don’t need to know who we are. Come with us, someone has paid us to take your life!”
Rong Qi scoffed, “Do you think you can take me that easily?”
“Haha, it’s fine if you don’t come. However, your friend might suffer-” The person took out a phone and opened a video call.
On the screen, Lu Qi was bound to a chair, with a layer of black tape covering her mouth. A burly man grabbed her hair, forcefully lifting her head.
Lu Qi cried, desperately shaking her head towards Rong Qi.
Rong Qi’s eyes turned icy at once and said sharply, “Don’t you touch her! Let her go!”
The person ended the video call and said, “Of course, as long as you come with us, I can guarantee your friend’s safety. But if you resist, I’m afraid your friend won’t fare well, Miss Rong.”
With a sneer, the person continued, “I know you have a powerful figure behind you. Shh, don’t let others know, otherwise, your friend will meet a miserable end.”
“I’ll come with you,” Rong Qi said coldly without hesitation.
“Very cooperative! Please,” the leader said and made a false gesture.
Rong Qi lowered her gaze, turned around, and followed them. She wasn’t sure who was behind this.
Since returning to Leucia, no one had come to Rong Qi’s doorstep again. So, this time, she had no idea who was behind this. All she could do was face whatever came her way and adapt to the situation..
