Chapter 291: Shy Xiao Qingge, Just an Ant
“Ugh… stop hitting me…” Cao Tian struggled in Jiang Che’s grip, mumbling incoherently with a swollen face, looking like a pig’s head.
Jiang Che threw Cao Tian to the ground, dusting off his hands disdainfully.
“The Cao family from Modu, huh? Quite the nerve you have! Daring to make a move on my woman, you don’t deserve to live…” Jiang Che squatted down, patting Cao Tian’s unharmed cheek with a sinister smile, looking eerily terrifying.
“You’re Jiang Che? From the Jiang family?!” Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Cao Tian froze, his eyes filled with fear.
Before coming to Linjiang City, his family had specifically warned him to avoid a young man named Jiang Che at all costs, and if possible, to befriend him.
Remembering his father’s grave expression and words, Cao Tian couldn’t help but feel regretful. He never imagined that Xiao Qingge was Jiang Che’s woman…
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have dared to pester her.
“Young Master Jiang, please spare my life.” Cao Tian whimpered, pretending to wipe nonexistent tears from his eyes.
In his previous life, he was a nobody. Having transmigrated into a wealthy family, he didn’t want his life to end so soon. As a member of a prominent family himself, he knew Jiang Che wouldn’t easily let him go.
But now, he had no desire to resist. Jiang Che’s ability to temporarily block his inner strength proved his own strength far surpassed Cao Tian’s.
“Spare your life?” Jiang Che glanced at him, seemingly in deep thought.
Seeing this, Cao Tian felt a glimmer of hope, “Young Master Jiang, as long as you spare my life, I’m willing to pay any price.”
Looking at Cao Tian groveling at Jiang Che’s feet, Xiao Qingge sneered disdainfully. At first, Cao Tian’s high and mighty attitude made her think he was someone important.
Who knew he would kneel so quickly once Jiang Che revealed his identity?
While feeling contemptuous, Xiao Qingge also felt a surge of pride. After all, she was Jiang Che’s woman, sharing in his honor and disgrace.
“What do you want to do with him?” Jiang Che didn’t immediately respond to Cao Tian but turned to Xiao Qingge instead.
“Miss Xiao, I was blind and offended you. Please, forgive me.” Cao Tian looked at Xiao Qingge with pleading eyes, filled with regret.
He wished he had never pestered Xiao Qingge in the first place. Otherwise, none of this would have happened.
“Maybe… we should let him go…” Xiao Qingge hesitated.
She feared bringing unnecessary trouble to Jiang Che, considering Cao Tian claimed to be from one of the four major families in Modu.
“Since he dared to target you, I can’t just let him go.” Jiang Che shook his head firmly.
He could guess what Xiao Qingge was thinking, but he didn’t care about the Cao family. Even though the Cao family was one of the four major families in Modu, they were nothing compared to the hidden Chen family.
If he wanted to, he could easily change the Cao family’s fate. After speaking, Jiang Che turned his gaze back to Cao Tian.
“Daring to provoke me, even the Cao family can’t protect you!” With a cold laugh, Jiang Che knocked Cao Tian out with a swift elbow.
Cao Tian fell unconscious before he could react.
“Brother Xiao Che, what are you going to do with him?” Xiao Qingge asked, puzzled, looking at the unconscious Cao Tian.
“You don’t need to worry about that. It’s been so long, don’t you miss me?” Jiang Che lifted Xiao Qingge’s delicate chin, asking playfully.
“I do~” Seeing the desire in Jiang Che’s eyes, Xiao Qingge blushed but nodded shyly, leaning into his embrace.
“Then what are we waiting for?” Jiang Che chuckled, taking Xiao Qingge’s soft hand and leading her out of the office.
Xiao Qingge had her own private bedroom on this floor, which was quite convenient…
With her head down, Xiao Qingge let Jiang Che lead her out. He closed the office door, leaving only the unconscious Cao Tian inside the large office…
