Chapter 50 Do You Want to Hug Me?

Jiang Wansheng fell silent.

Forever, always, in the future…

These words are easy to say but hard to fulfill.

But Qin Mo has said these words many times today.

She dared not respond, nor did she dare to believe.

When a person gets used to the cold, they dare not touch the warm light when they encounter it, fearing it is all a dream and they will lose everything.

She could only play it down, pretending to be silly under the influence of alcohol, “It’s okay, I’ve fought back too.”

Qin Mo suppressed the coldness in his eyes and just responded with a “Hmm.”

He didn’t blame Jiang Wansheng for her lack of trust, he just felt sorry for her who had not been held uniquely in the palm of someone’s hand for so many years, making her so afraid and resistant.

He could actually see that the girl also had some feelings for him, otherwise, she wouldn’t have tacitly allowed his unrestrained behavior during this time. But these feelings were not enough to dispel her insecurity accumulated over the years.

But it’s okay, they still have time.

Qin Mo is a businessman who has learned risk control since childhood, equivalent exchange. He has always been good at using the least amount of chips to get the maximum benefit. But to Jiang Wansheng, he is an invaluable and pure temptation.

For her, he doesn’t care about gains or losses, doesn’t care about consequences, if everything goes as he wishes, it’s all worth it.

The two of them ate with their own thoughts.

Jiang Wansheng drank one cup after another, both to escape and to vent.

…

Qin Mo’s aura and demeanor were too eye-catching in this snack street, young people walked by from time to time, taking pictures or chatting, but Jiang Wansheng, who was facing away from the street at the moment, was completely drunk and didn’t pay any attention.

Qin Mo turned a blind eye, keeping an eye on Jiang Wansheng the whole time, afraid that she might fall off the chair if she passed out.

At this moment, a group of men and women came out of a restaurant next to them.

Zheng Wen and a few friends were walking arm in arm, laughing and talking as they headed towards their car.

Suddenly, someone beside him grabbed his arm, “Damn, look at that girl outside the barbecue shop, isn’t that Jiang Wansheng.”

Zheng Wen followed his friend’s gaze and was suddenly stunned.

His position was right behind Qin Mo, and he could clearly see Jiang Wansheng’s profile at the moment.

The more his friend looked, the more he felt it was her, “Yes, damn, who’s that person next to her, doesn’t look simple.”

“Let’s go, take a look.”

Zheng Wen quickly stopped him, “Don’t go looking for trouble.”

Last time he tried to plot against her and ended up being beaten half to death. Who would have thought that the quiet Jiang Wansheng at school could get Mr. Qin to vent his anger for her.

Those black-clothed bodyguards were ruthless, he had no room to fight back at all, and now he still felt sore all over when he thought about it.

After that night, even if he liked Jiang Wansheng so much, he didn’t dare to provoke her again.

Now he just wanted to stay away from her, so he wouldn’t have any delusions when he saw her.

Taking advantage of the fact that the men with their backs to them hadn’t noticed their movements, he quickly pulled his friend away, but his friend squinted as if he had made a new discovery, “Damn, do you see that her face looks like she’s been hit by someone!”

He paused, took a closer look, and noticed that Jiang Wansheng occasionally showed the other side of her cheek when talking to the man, the swelling was very noticeable.

His friend thoughtfully said, “I never thought that the campus flower that no one could catch up with would hang out with a rich man, and one with a violent tendency at that. She’s been beaten like this and still smiling and talking to people. Why bother, it’s better to be with you.”

He clicked his tongue, “Damn, the filter’s broken.”

Listening to his friend’s words, Zheng Wen felt a mix of emotions. On the one hand, he felt that Jiang Wansheng was to blame for her current situation, but on the other hand, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her for willingly falling into this state.

He felt both secretly delighted and annoyed.

After a long time, he pulled his friend away with a dark face, “Stop talking nonsense, the man we can’t afford to provoke even if we team up, mind your own business.”

As they walked halfway, he couldn’t help but look back at her.

A strange sense of anticipation suddenly rose in his heart.

If she could get involved with Mr. Qin, it means she doesn’t reject dealing with rich people. The Qin family, as a top-notch aristocratic family, will definitely bring assistance to his family in the future. When Mr. Qin gets tired of her, she won’t be as valuable anymore.

Maybe, by then, she would be willing to come back to him?

“Recently, didn’t they say that the Zhang family and the Qin family were getting closer?

He suddenly felt somewhat happy.

—

As Jiang Wansheng drank to the end, her head was already a mess, soberness and rationality long gone.

Qin Mo looked at her flushed cheeks and unfocused eyes, casually rolling his fingers on the table, feeling a tickle in his throat.

After Jiang Wansheng finished her last drink, her head tilted, she turned the glass in her hand upside down, but there was no more alcohol.

She checked the wine bottle, but it was empty too.

Frowning, she became a bit impatient.

She stood up straight, wanting to go find more alcohol.

Qin Mo had been watching her, and in the moment she turned around, he swiftly reached out, grabbing her slender waist and pulling her into his arms.

Jiang Wansheng felt a sudden restraint around her waist, she lightly hummed in dissatisfaction.

Qin Mo took a napkin from the table, gently wiping her rosy lips, coaxing, “How about we go home?”

Jiang Wansheng, not very cooperative, avoided his hand, and in a muffled voice said, “No, I want to drink.”

Qin Mo skillfully wiped her mouth, then threw away the napkin and grabbed her wrist as she waved it around, “Drinking too much is not good for your health, can we drink next time?”

Jiang Wansheng, unreasonable at the moment, just wouldn’t agree.

Unable to do anything, Qin Mo coaxed, “There’s a whole wine cabinet at the Lùqiū Mingdū, the drinks there are much better, shall we go and try?”

Jiang Wansheng, with her sluggish mind, reluctantly nodded, burying herself in his embrace, no longer restless.

Qin Mo kissed the top of her head in that position, leaned down to her ear, and softly asked, “Can you walk by yourself?”

With misty eyes, Jiang Wansheng, with an unclear gaze, could only see his bent cold white neck, the smooth and taut lines.

His deep, slightly hoarse voice, like gravel, sent shivers down her spine as if coarse sand was rolling past her ears.

Without thinking, she subconsciously asked, “Do you want to hug me?”

A few seconds later, he heard a light chuckle from the man, and in a rush of heat, a single word rolled out, “Yes.”

After a moment, a sense of weightlessness came over her, and she obediently wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, unconsciously nuzzling her cheek against his neck.

Qin Mo made a sound, feeling that this little girl was quite something.

He quickened his pace, wanting to quickly take her to Luqui Mingdu.

In the Chongfei Garden, there was Aunt Wang, and he didn’t want to expose the girl’s drunken state to anyone now, he just wanted to lock the door and enjoy it alone.

So from the beginning, he didn’t ask Jiang Wansheng if she wanted to go back to Chongfei Garden.

Jiang Wansheng’s consciousness was gradually engulfed by alcohol, now she just felt that the cold scent of wood surrounding her was very pleasant, the warm and broad chest pressed against her, she kind of liked it.

When they reached the car, Qin Mo wanted to put her in the passenger seat, but as soon as he let go of the arm around her neck, Wansheng’s arm tightened, and a muffled voice came out, “Don’t go.”

A part of his heart seemed to collapse, Qin Mo felt that all his patience in this life was spent on her, he could only reluctantly fasten her seatbelt in the position she was holding onto him, then he held her shoulders with both hands, coaxing, “I will sit next to you, won’t leave.”

“Jiang Sweetie, let go, will I take you home?”

Wansheng nuzzled again, then let go of her hand, looking at him innocently, “Okay.”

Qin Mo couldn’t bear to see her so completely dependent on him, his jaw tight, his dark eyes thick, suppressing the desire to hold her close.
