Ou Bei Yao frowned. A gorilla? What kind of nonsense was that? This woman actually dared to call him that?
"Since you’ve willingly walked into the net, things will be much easier."
Qin Miaomiao looked at him warily. "What do you want?"
"You name your price, as long as you’re willing to be my brother’s caregiver."
Sure, facing a handsome young man was something she wouldn’t mind, but being a caregiver? Sorry, that was absolutely off the table for her.
However, the man in front of her was definitely not someone to be trifled with. She raised her eyebrows slightly and feigned great interest as she asked,
"So, how much are you prepared to pay?"
"One hundred thousand. Is that enough?"
Ou Bei Yao’s icy gaze carried a tinge of cold intent. "Not enough?"
"Mr. Ou, I think you’ve misunderstood something here. I’m not going to be your brother’s caregiver. Please step aside and let me leave."
After saying that, she turned to walk out, only to have her hand grabbed. Ou Bei Yao’s eyes turned cold and piercing, exuding a domineering force that brooked no resistance. He spoke,
"Did I say you could leave?"
Qin Miaomiao’s hand was in so much pain from his grip that she instinctively kicked straight toward his lower body. He reacted quickly, dodging her strike in an instant, and, with a tug of his hand, forced her up against the door. The posture was ambiguous.
But there was a second person in the room. With Qin Miaomiao’s soft body pressed against him, Ou Bei Yao felt a fleeting pang of unfamiliar emotion deep inside. Nonetheless, it wasn’t enough to change his resolve. His voice was cold as he spoke,
"Either you stay willingly, or I’ll force you to stay. The choice is yours."
Was there really a difference between the two options?
Qin Miaomiao was so enraged that she laughed. Her alluring, fox-like eyes curved upward as she sneered and said,
"Sir, this is a lawful society now. Are you intending to imprison me?"
Ou Bei Yao frowned, as if seriously considering the possibility. Just then, a hurried voice rang out from behind,
Ou Bei Yao immediately turned his head, staring in shock at his brother. Disbelieving, he asked,
"Xiao Yi, what did you just say? Say it again."
Ou Bei Yi, however, kept his lips tightly sealed, refusing to speak, though his eyes betrayed all his emotions.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Miaomiao broke free from his grasp and retreated to the doorway. She was prepared to make a run for it the moment things seemed off.
Ou Bei Yao’s gaze burned as he stared at Ou Bei Yi, desperate for him to say another word. However, Ou Bei Yi remained silent, keeping his mouth shut.
At this point, a sudden bang echoed as the door slammed shut! Ou Bei Yao’s expression darkened as he took long, swift strides toward the door. Reaching out his hand to pull it open, he realized the door was locked tight!
Qin Miaomiao didn’t flee far. She stood right outside the door, grinning at him mischievously. The door handle on her side was jammed with a broom.
Qin Miaomiao stuck her tongue out at Ou Bei Yao, made a funny face, and waved. "See ya!"
Then, like a puff of smoke, she was gone. There was no way she was going to continue playing this game with this "big brother." Complete waste of time.
However, thinking about how this man had managed to abduct her from a VIP intensive care ward, staying in the hospital any longer would have been walking into the lion’s den. Better to cut and run while she had the chance.
As she hurried through the lobby, she suddenly heard shrieks from a group of people,
"Oh my god, who is that? He’s so handsome!"
"Who else could it be? Of course, it’s Lu Qing! What’s he doing at the airport? Such a perfect male god, even the way he walks from behind is mesmerizing."
"Who’s that woman next to him? Ugh, so annoying. She’s such an eyesore."
"Isn’t that the insanely popular Chu Xiaoxiao? Rumor has it she’s Lu Qing’s new flame, the one Long Ting has been fiercely promoting recently."
Qin Miaomiao was in a rush to leave but couldn’t help glancing at the TV. It was Lu Qing. His sharp features were hidden behind sunglasses, only his alluring jawline visible. Even with reporters frantically snapping photos around him, his stride never faltered for a moment.
