“You said friends.” Dou Wenqing said, “I don’t remember saying that.”
When the people around him saw his face and his shameless and cold words, they felt that this young man with a cat mask was going to be unlucky.
They didn’t know where he got the courage to come out as a hero to save the beauty, and he didn’t even think about who was in front of him! Second Young Master Dou rarely talked politely about face, and there were too few people in the capital who could let him give them face.
Did he think that Second Young Master Dou, who was not much older than them, could be dealt with in the usual way? If someone had such an idea, he would definitely give him a bloody lesson.
“But you said you remembered me.” Si Huang fearlessly smiled and said: “There are very few people who can be remembered by Second Young Master Dou. I am lucky enough to be one of them. I can’t be considered a friend, but at least I am an acquaintance.”
Dou Wenqing did not refute.
Everyone was surprised, it turned out to be someone he knew?
Li Jiming and Ji Xiang looked at each other and saw the surprise in their eyes. How could Si Huang still be related to Mr. Dou?
Chai Liang, who got up this time and came back to stand behind Dou Wenqing, was completely sure of Si Huang’s identity and looked at her with complicated eyes.
He remembered what the Second young master said to his uncle before leaving H City…
“Come here.”
As soon as these words came out, Si Huang couldn’t guess what Dou Wenqing meant. His eyes hidden behind his black hair followed him like a shadow. Her body felt indescribably cold.
She was not afraid and walked towards him calmly.
After she got to know this person was Dou Wenqing, her sense of drama naturally emerged, and she switched to the character mode that best suited her needs. It could be said that she had developed sequelae because of Dou Jun’s wish to capture this person in her previous life. If you wanted to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself, especially for a sensitive and dangerous person like Dou Wenqing. A slight flaw could cause irreparable consequences.
His hand was suddenly held tightly by someone. Si Huang stopped and looked at the woman beside him, comforting her and saying, “It’s okay, trust me.”
The woman paused and suddenly felt a cold gaze sweep across her, and instinctively turned her head to look. Si Huang stepped forward to block her, and her hand was gently pulled away.
Looking at the not so strong and broad figure in front of her, the woman pursed her lips and her eyes felt a little hot.
Si Huang walked a few more steps and stood in front of Dou Wenqing.
The two were about the same height. But if you looked closely, you would find that Dou Wenqing was still a little taller by two or three centimeters.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion or if a person’s aura could really bring about a special magnetic field effect. When facing Dou Wenqing at close range, you would feel that the surrounding air had become much colder.
This kind of coldness that penetrated the bones and Dou Wenqing’s mechanical and indifferent gaze could make anyone afraid or cautious. But Si Huang stood in front of him, with flaws all over his body, which meant he had no defense against him at all.
Chai Liang looked at her in disbelief. Once could be said to be a coincidence, but if it was the same twice, it meant everything was true. This man was really not afraid of the Second Young Master, he was extremely courageous! The most important thing was apart from not being afraid, those bright eyes looked so moist and harmless, like a newborn leopard cub. It had unparalleled courage but was so light and soft that people really wanted to touch it.
“Gulp——” Chai Liang choked on his own saliva and stared at the scene in front of him.
Second Young Master, he really touched it.
Dou Wenqing reached out to touch the edge of the cat’s ears of the cat mask, and his long white fingers slid along the edge of the mask, with unknown meaning.
“Didn’t you say last time that you had something to ask me for help?”
Si Huang didn’t care if she was touched and responded: “It’s been solved.”
There was a soft “click”, and one of the cat ears on the mask was broken. Dou Wenqing looked like he was exerting a lot of effort when he stood up.
“Mr. Qin helped?”
Si Huang raised his head, met his gaze, pursed his lips and smiled softly, “It seems you are quite concerned about this matter.”
Dou Wenqing rubbed the fragment of the mask in his hand with his fingertips. “Being a businessman requires integrity.” Even if it was a promise that was cheated from him, he would not regret it if he made it. “If you take her away today, I will have repaid what I promised you.”
These words shocked the people around him. What a shame, Second Young Master Dou actually owed someone? And the Master Qin in those words couldn’t be the Master Qin they thought, right?
Si Huang’s next response shocked them even more, “That won’t work. I’ve already defeated him, so let’s forget it.”
Reject, reject, reject!
This man actually rejected Second Young Master Dou!?
Not only did she refuse, she also argued, “Your promise is so cheap.”
Cheap! Price!
The young people around them all widened their eyes. Which family was this guy from? How dare he talk to Second Young Master Dou like that! Was he really not afraid of death?
“Si…” Li Jiming almost shouted her name but was stopped by Li Luona in time. He came back to his senses and quickly changed his words, “God of Wealth!”
Si Huang turned to look at him and saw Li Jiming mouthing words in a hurry: Don’t take it off!
Si Huang’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked around at the expressions of the others. They all looked dumbfounded, as if they were seeing something incredible.
“……”
A look of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she was actually caught up in the drama!
It was all because Dou Wenqing was too dangerous. When facing him, she habitually entered the safest role. However, she forgot for a moment that she was no longer as lonely and helpless as in her previous life, so she could let go of some chances even with someone who could bring benefits to her.
Dou Wenqing’s promise was indeed precious, but now she didn’t have to have it. The matter of using him to deal with Bai’s purchase of illegal drugs had been resolved, so there was no need to hold on to that promise again.
The two of them should not have had such a deep connection in the first place.
After Si Huang thought clearly, she looked back at Dou Wenqing, who was indifferent and silent as he didn’t know what he was thinking. “I just made a joke, let’s just do what the second young master said.”
Dou Wenqing’s expression changed, and his lips pursed into a straight line, “No need.”
“Huh?”
“You’re right, paying it back like this makes my promise seem cheap.”
Dou Wenqing stared into her eyes, “My promise is not what you asked for, that you just throw it away.”
Hearing this, it seemed that there was some misunderstanding? Si Huang felt even more remorseful and said honestly: “I didn’t mean to play with you, but I just remembered that the promise was unreasonable.”
Chai Liang was speechless and thought: So you also know that what you want is unreasonable, so why ask for it? To say it so boldly is so daring!
Dou Wenqing stopped rubbing the cat’s ear fragment with his hand, and there was a flash in his eyes, “Then you owe me this time.”
“No.” Si Huang refused without any pause.
She refused so quickly, without even the slightest hint of politeness, that the jaws of everyone watching almost dropped.
“…” Dou Wenqing’s face also showed a moment of astonishment. He didn’t expect that she would refuse so quickly, and then it turned as cold as a layer of ice, and his eyes were horrifying.
He stretched out his hand, about to grab Si Huang’s chin, and lightly opened his cold lips, “Can you say it again?”
Anyone could tell that Second Young Master Dou was getting angry. If he dared to say it again, he would definitely be seeking death.
If it had been anyone else, they would have stood there and let him catch him and apologized profusely in order to calm his anger.
Si Huang turned sideways and avoided it.
“Bang——” Some people were so frightened that they almost knelt down.
The atmosphere solidified.
Li Jiming was one of the only three people in the crowd who were still worried about Si Huang. Just as Li Jiming gritted his teeth and took two steps forward, he saw Zhao Yang sneaking back and holding his arm, “Come on, I have something to discuss with you.”
“He’s still there, how can I leave!” Li Jiming stared at Si Huang’s area.
Zhao Yang’s eyes flickered, “He knows the Second Young Master, so he must be fine. We are different.”
Li Luona shouted unhappily: “You are the one who caused this trouble. Now that the God of Wealth is helping you, you actually want to leave?”
“He’s not helping me, he’s obviously helping that woman!” Zhao Yang shied away. Seeing that Li Jiming still didn’t move, he begged with a bitter face: “If the second young master comes to his senses and thinks about me again, then I won’t be able to leave!”
Li Jiming saw that his hands were still bleeding, and his expression changed. “You go first, he is the brother I brought with me, we can’t just leave him alone!”
Zhao Yang hesitated and thought that he still wanted to ask Li Jiming for help about the Second Young Master’s batch of goods. If he didn’t take the person away to discuss it now, he might not be able to discuss it so easily later.
Ji Xiang looked him up and down, and suddenly smiled: “We are all brothers, and Zhao Yang will definitely not leave his brothers alone.”
Zhao Yang, who just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, turned pale and was stunned.
“Ji Xiang is right…” Zhao Yang responded dryly and looked at Si Huang angrily. If this kid hadn’t insisted on getting involved, the matter would have been over long ago!
His expression froze when he saw what he saw.
Others present were no better.
