The place where Luo Qing was detained was upstairs from Xu Shi's office. Downstairs was a nightclub, which was also Xu Shi's venue.
When Xu Shi entered, Luo Qing was reading a book by the bay window. She looked very comfortable, as if she was on vacation. The sunlight was shining slightly on her body, which was very beautiful.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Shi said, and his voice was so soft that even he was surprised, as if he was afraid of scaring her.
Hearing the voice, Luo Qing turned her head and nodded gently towards him. She had always been sensitive. This man who was a little rude to her yesterday seemed to have no ill intentions today, so she felt relieved.
"You have a lot of books here, and I have nothing to do, so I just picked up a few and browsed through them." He replied casually, put the book aside, and stood up.
"You're not pregnant, so why are you dressed so thinly? Where are your shoes and socks?" A trace of displeasure flashed across his face, and he walked over, picked her up by the waist, and placed her gently on the bed.
Luo Qing frowned slightly at his sudden gentleness. She had never liked the closeness of a strange man, let alone a man who kidnapped her. Moreover, she had never believed in other people's attentiveness. This was when she was with Zixuan.
After such a long time, she realized that once someone was particularly nice to her, there must be some intention.
"It's not cold, and besides, there is a carpet." Luo Qing answered casually, but in fact it was because her feet were tied with steel wires that she couldn't wear shoes and socks. Fortunately, the heater in the room was very warm, so she wasn't cold either.
.
"Wear them even if it's not cold." Xu Shi took the socks on the side and held up Luo Qing's feet. His eyes fell on the steel wire on her feet. The white ankles had already been stretched with thin red marks.
There was a hint of embarrassment on his face, "Well, this wire is just to prevent you from running around."
Retracting her feet, Luo Qing nodded, "I know."
Of course she knew that this steel wire had no big effect, it was just restricting freedom. Otherwise, if she really had to tie her up, she wouldn't have used something like this.
"As long as you don't think about running away, this thing won't hurt you." The jade foot in his hand suddenly disappeared, and Xu Shi's eyes showed a little loss.
He remembered that Xiao Xi was sick and ran out barefoot, and he carried her back to the room. He personally helped her put on her socks. She smiled like a little fox, very happy.
"Mr. Xu, can I ask when you can let me go?" Luo Qing asked cautiously. She felt that this man was kind to her, so she asked boldly.
Obviously, this question made Xu Shi very unhappy. His slight frown showed his displeasure, but he still answered patiently, "In a few days."
"Oh." Luo Qing breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would say the same thing to Lu Xin. Although she didn't believe that they could imprison her for the rest of her life, there was always some worry in her heart. She knew that Zixuan would definitely be able to find her, but she still
Somewhat worried.
"Very happy?" Xu Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, shooting a dangerous look.
"Of course." Luo Qing replied matter-of-factly, "Should I be happy that you brought me here?"
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Luo Qing to answer so directly. After being stunned for a moment, Xu Shi laughed, and the laughter was extremely hearty.
"Is it that funny?" Luo Qing smiled, she was just telling the truth, what was he laughing at?
"You are very special." Xu Shi came closer to Luo Qing and gently put his hand on her cheek. There was a tenderness in his eyes. This kind of tenderness is probably something that no woman would reject.
Luo Qing was not one of those women. She slapped his hand away, her originally friendly face looking a little unhappy, "Mr. Xu, please respect yourself."
Xu Shi retracted his hand, took two steps back, and smiled lightly, "Qiu Zixuan's woman is really different and fascinating."
Hearing him mention Zixuan, Luo Qing's eyes tightened. Are they really going to use her to threaten Zixuan?
"Don't worry, I just want to negotiate a deal with Qiu Zixuan. After all, you are his most beloved person, aren't you?" Xu Shi smiled slightly. Only he knew the bitterness in that smile. He never believed in love at first sight.
Such a deceptive thing, but the funny thing is that he was attracted to Luo Qing. This woman with clear eyes aroused his heart palpitations. At that moment, he even forgot about Xiao Xi and everyone.
"Negotiating a deal with a crooked businessman?" Luo Qing laughed. She knew how sinister Zixuan was, and those who negotiated deals with him never got any advantage.
Xu Shi shrugged, obviously not taking her ridicule to heart. After all, her value was definitely higher than she thought. He understood men. In a man's heart, a beloved woman is definitely higher than anything else.
"You stay here for the next few days. If you need anything, just tell people outside." Xu Shi's words undoubtedly expressed that in addition to her freedom, anything else would satisfy her.
"So, you will protect me, right?" Luo Qing asked, climbing up the pole. She could clearly see the hatred in Lu Xin's eyes. It would be better for her to find a life-saving lock for herself.
He didn't seem to expect that she would ask such a direct question, but Xu Shi nodded anyway, "You are my trump card, of course I will protect you."
"I don't want to see Ji Luxin. Is this okay?" Luo Qing asked again.
"Okay." Xu Shi nodded. He knew Lu Xin's personality, which was arrogant and domineering. He was also worried that Lu Xin would attack Luo Qing, so he specifically warned her.
But obviously, he underestimated the scheming of a woman, especially a woman blinded by hatred.
"I'm going to rest." After giving the order to expel guests, Luo Qing looked at Xu Shi.
Xu Shi laughed and nodded, "Then you have a good rest."
Seeing Xu Shi leave, Luo Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the man meant no harm, she still felt a sense of danger. Fortunately, he didn't do anything wrong to her again.
Wei Wei felt relieved. With Xu Shi's guarantee, she breathed a sigh of relief. If this person was like those who captured her in the past, she would be really worried. Thinking of those experiences, Luo Qing couldn't help but tighten her grip.
She didn't tell Zixuan what happened before she punched her fist and was taken away by Qianqing. She didn't want Zixuan to know about such a painful nightmare, and she didn't want him to blame himself.
Just when Luo Qing was lost in thought, someone was staring at her hatefully on the other side of the monitor, with inexplicable hatred in his eyes, even deeper than before.
This night was extremely calm, but the calmer it was, the more it seemed like a precursor to the coming storm.
