Chapter 41: What Are You So Arrogant For?

All around was silent, not a sound of human voices—like an underground parking lot. She felt a large hand gripping her arm, carrying her forward as if she were a chick being dragged along.

Shi Qingqing decided to risk it all and threw off the black cloth covering her head.

She saw a strikingly handsome face, features perfectly sculpted and chiseled, his countenance cold and commanding, with an irresistible, almost magical allure...

Zhan... Zhan Su!

“Senior Zhan! Why is it you? What are you doing?”

“What do you think?” Zhan Su continued to haul her along, heading toward the elevator.

Four or five bodyguards followed silently behind them.

Shi Qingqing was dumbfounded. “Senior, this is basically kidnapping, you know that? This is against the law in our country.”

“Mm. Go ahead, report me.” Zhan Su’s voice was indifferent, his sidelong glance at her radiating pure arrogance.

Shi Qingqing wanted to slap the table in outrage.

Damn it!

Is this how you bully people?

What’s with all this arrogance?

Just you wait—when I become the world’s richest person from snatching red envelopes, I’ll bury you in my wealth!

But for now...

She put on a pitiful expression. “Senior, really, forced melons aren’t sweet. Besides, if you’re short a maid, just say the word—or I’ll help you spread the word—and girls will be lining up to serve you as your maid, like waves in the Yangtze, one after another...”

Zhan Su’s face was expressionless as he dragged her along.

“I only want to force this melon—sweet or not, I don’t care.”

Shi Qingqing...

Can’t we just get along?

“Senior, I have elders and little ones at home waiting for me. I really don’t have the time.”

“That’s your problem.”

“Senior, I’ll call the police. I really will.”

“Go ahead. It just occurred to me—someone tried to attack me yesterday, left me unconscious. I seem to have forgotten to report it. With a charge like that, you’d be looking at two or three years in prison at the very least...”

Shi Qingqing instantly stopped struggling.

Prison?

For two or three years?

A young girl in the prime of her life, going to jail?

Wouldn’t her whole future be ruined?

Her mother would be worried sick!

“Senior, what does your fainting have to do with me? You can’t frame an innocent person.”

“If you hadn’t run into me, would I have passed out?”

Shi Qingqing was speechless with rage. You’re not made of paper, and I’m not some muscle-bound giant—how could I knock you out just by bumping into you? Who are you trying to fool!

There must be something wrong with him.

But looking at Zhan Su’s icy expression and indifferent words, she couldn’t tell if he was joking or deadly serious.

His father was the Vice President of the country!

Overwhelming power!

With just a word from Zhan Su, even if she hadn’t run into him, he could have her thrown in jail.

Damn it!

The national heartthrob is just despicable, sinister, and shameless.

“And who started today’s rumor, hmm? Something about toilet paper in the restroom?” Zhan Su narrowed his eyes.

Shi Qingqing forced a smile. “Senior, you said yourself it was a rumor. Who knows who started it? It’s outrageous, slandering you like that!”

“Mm. The person who started the rumor knows we were in the park. Aside from you and me, who else saw us there?”

Shi Qingqing was on the verge of tears.

If only she’d picked another location...

Zhan Su saw through her instantly.

With old and new grievances piling up, Shi Qingqing decided it was best to give in for a few days. A wise girl doesn’t suffer the losses before her. Ahem.

“One hour a day, no more!”

Zhan Su considered for a moment. “Alright.”
