Shang Qingmo seemed to have read her mind. Without giving her a chance to speak, she dragged her upstairs.

How could Shang Qiqi let go of Han Jichi and leave just like that? She tried her best to stop, and even her body was pushed back in Shang Qingmos arms. Shang Qingmos expression did not change as she dragged her without moving.

Let go of me! She was furious and growled at Shang Qingmo.

Shang Qingmo didnt say anything and led her upstairs with a straight face.

Shang Qiqi grabbed the railing beside her, forcing Shang Qingmo to stop.

She was panting from exhaustion, but she still questioned, Why did you do that?

Shang Qing looked at her with dark eyes. Shang Qiqi, get this straight. He provoked me first.

I know very well! Shang Qiqi said immediately. Im his female companion tonight. You you obviously didnt save him any face!

Why should I give him face?

Have you ever thought about the consequences of your actions tonight?! Shang Qiqis knuckles on the railing were pale and her voice was trembling.

Look at the gazes of those people downstairs. Do you know what theyre thinking now? Arent you afraid that rumors will spread?

Hearing this, Shang Qingmo turned her head slightly and glanced downstairs.

In the huge banquet hall, the lights were bright and the guests were dressed in suits.

At this moment, everyone was looking at them in shock, doubt, or inquiry.

His eyes narrowed and he suddenly gave a low laugh.

He turned to look at her. The smile on his face sent a chill down Shang Qiqis spine.

She felt the arm around her waist exerting more force as it inched closer to her.

Shang Qiqis eyes widened and her body involuntarily leaned towards the railing.

With the distance between the two of them, it was impossible to explain even if they were a hundred meters apart.

What are you doing?

Im suddenly thinking Shang Qingmo stared at her fl.u.s.tered face and said in a low voice, Why dont we let them have their wish and respond to the drama theyre curious and looking forward to?

Shang Qiqi was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. Are you crazy?

There were already people whispering downstairs, questioning their relations.h.i.+p.

She subconsciously looked at Han Jichi.

If Shang Qingmo really wanted to do something, where would Han Jichi put his face?

Shang Qingmo was angered by her actions.

Now, the first thing she thought of was that she was worried about Han Jichi.

He suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her head back.

There was a low gasp from downstairs.

Shang Qiqis heart tightened. She pushed Shang Qingmo away impulsively and ran upstairs.

At this moment, she didnt know what to do. She only knew that staying away from Shang Qingmo was the most important.

She didnt know why he suddenly wanted to do such a thing.

If it was four years ago, she might not have had so many worries. She might even have accepted it happily.

But it was different now.

He had a fiance and she had a boyfriend.

More importantly, she no longer had any feelings for him.

She didnt want to deny the results of her four years of absence.

Sister Yaoyao!

She couldnt stop everyones emotions now. She couldnt care less about Shang Qingmos reaction and rushed upstairs.

Seeing that there was no good show, Chi Yaoyao was a little disappointed, but she still gave Shang Qiqi a big hug.

Ive missed you so much all these years! Youre really amazing. Theres no news of you at all!

Shang Qiqi quickly apologized, Im sorry

Chi Yaoyao snorted. You cant just apologize. You dont know that after you left, we were tortured by your uncle

Huh?

Chi Yaoyao smacked the top of her head. Isnt it because Im looking for you?

Shang Qiqi was surprised.

Grandpa Shang has already informed us in advance, but hes really petty

At this moment, Shang Qingmo had already walked over with a cold face. Dont you know how to avoid me when you badmouth others?

Chi Yaoyao held Shang Qiqis arm. Since you know that Im talking bad about you, why dont you take the initiative to avoid me?

Shang Qiqi admired Chi Yaoyao. After all these years, she was still the same.

Shang Qingmo glanced at her coldly. Chi Yaoyao didnt even look at him as she led Qiqi to the open VIP area.

Come, tell us about your life for the past few years

Ye Qingqiu straightened her body and glanced at the banquet hall that was still filled with discussions. Her lips curled up slightly and her gaze swept past Shang Qingmo before landing on Shang Qiqi.

Your male companion looks quite pitiful.

Shang Qiqi paused and scanned the people around her before saying hesitantly, Can I call him up?

Of course you can!

Of course

Sure

I cant.

Amidst the approval, a cold voice sounded.

It was obvious who it was.

Shang Qiqi ignored the voice and walked out of the VIP area.

Shang Qingmos face darkened and his eyes burned with anger.

The others stared at his expression with interest.

Then, she saw the silent man stand up abruptly.

*

Shang Qiqi lifted her skirt and walked downstairs. Ji Chi!

Just as she was about to walk down the stairs, Shang Qiqi called out to Han Jichi softly.

She thought that tonights filming would end here. Unexpectedly, the female lead who had just rushed upstairs suddenly ran down.

Han Jichi was surrounded by people chatting when she heard a voice.

Why did you come down so quickly?

Shang Qiqi smiled and walked towards him. Come with me. Theyre all waiting for me to introduce you to them!

However, Han Jijus face suddenly darkened. Shang Qiqi watched in confusion as he suddenly reached out to her. She took a step forward, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.

She turned her head in surprise and saw a furious Shang Qingmo.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Qiqi Han Jichi called out softly. Shang Qingmo had already grabbed Shang Qiqis waist and forcefully brought her away.

She exuded a murderous aura.

The banquet hall was in chaos.

The same thing happened one after another. Even if they didnt want to suspect, they had to.

It wasnt a secret that Shang Qingmo had gone to look for her niece.

A few years ago, there were rumors about this uncle and nephew.

Although Shang Qingmos sudden engagement was a little strange and had silenced some people, her departure made people suspicious.

However, as time pa.s.sed, the rumors about this uncle and nephew naturally stopped.

Tonight, it was obvious that this matter had not pa.s.sed and was brewing.

It seemed that there was a new story in Ping Cheng City, which had just calmed down recently.

*

Shang Qiqi was brought out of the banquet hall. When she entered the elevator, she was still shocked and angry.

She struggled with all her might.

Even though she was exhausted, she couldnt free herself from Shang Qingmos embrace.

Recalling what had happened in front of everyone, Shang Qiqi suddenly felt powerless and her eyes reddened.

What do you want to do?! she growled. Her scalp couldnt help but tense and tingle. She had a vague answer in her heart, but it was so shocking that she didnt even dare to think about it.

But putting everything aside, she only felt a lump of cotton in her chest.

Why cant I get along with Han Ji?

Thinking that he was destined to receive guidance tonight, Shang Qiqis heart couldnt help but ache. The embarra.s.sment he had suffered tonight was all because of her.

Shang Qiqi didnt notice the veins on Shang Qingmos forehead when she mentioned Han Jiji. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said shakily, How did he provoke you? Why do you have to embarra.s.s him

Bang! Shang Qiqi was suddenly pressed against the wall of the elevator.

She cried out in pain as the mans tall and broad body suddenly pressed down on her.

Her eyes widened in anger as he pressed his lips against hers.

Shang Qiqi held her breath and her eyes widened.

The light that could not condense could not see the mans expression, but she could clearly feel his anger from his fierce kiss.

Her teeth were pried open and she marched straight in, conquering the city

His body was pressed tightly against hers, and his strong arms were wrapped tightly around her waist, preventing her from struggling.

Shang Qingmos kiss seemed to be venting. He bit her lips a few times and tore at her.

He was angry, but he still thought of her sudden kiss at the airport four years ago.

That touch woke him up from countless nights in the past four years.

She left in a carefree manner. She had everything

Selfish woman.

Shang Qingmo didnt let her off until the elevator stopped.

However, he didnt give her any chance to speak. He pulled her out of the elevator and stuffed her into his car.

Shang Qiqi only regained her senses when the car left the underground parking lot.

She instinctively pulled the seatbelt and fastened it. Thinking of what had just happened, she closed her eyes tightly.

She panicked and couldnt find anything to cling to.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and gripped the seatbelt tightly. Her voice was as calm as possible, but it was still trembling.

Uncle, what are you doing?

What do you think?

I dont know! Shang Qiqi couldnt stand his reckless behavior. She growled angrily, Why? What position do you have for your fiance? How do you want me to face Han Jichi

Shut up! The name Han Jichi was like a bomb without a fuse. Dont mention him again!

Shang Qingmos words seemed to have been crushed by her teeth tens of thousands of times. You dont have to face him again! Youd better give up!

Silence filled the car.

After some time, the car stopped abruptly.

Shang Qiqi turned her head and looked at the familiar outline of the villa outside. Anger rose in her chest.

She didnt budge.

In the end, Shang Qingmo carried her out of the car and walked in.

Let go of me! Im not going in!

She struggled desperately, even though she had experienced his strong imprisonment too many times tonight.

But other than struggling and resisting, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent.

However, the man carried her steadily into the villa. Under the surprised gazes of the servants, he carried her upstairs to her previous room.

The room was clean, no different from when she left.

She thought that the journey was enough to calm him down, but when he placed her on the bed and bent down to kiss her again, her panic reached its peak.

What scared her more than the elevator was the current location and the fact that he had already reached into her s.h.i.+rt. His warm palm pressed against the skin of her waist and tightened its grip.

Uncle Her voice was filled with fear.

Okay. Shang Qingmo responded to her, but her fingertips and tongue seemed to spark without any hesitation.

Shang Qiqi grabbed his hand nervously, but he held it by her side.

He finally stopped what he was doing and lowered his gaze to stare at her. The emotions in his eyes frightened her.

Dont you like me? Isnt it good for us to be together?

No Shang Qiqi shook her head. No! Let go of me!

Shang Qingmo ignored her and slid her hand behind her back to pull the chain on her dress.

Theres nothing bad about it. Theres nothing important about us being together all the time.

He still didnt want to remember how she felt when she ran away from him.

Panic, helplessness, frustration, and regret tormented him every moment.

He had never thought that she would leave him.

He had always felt that she should stay by his side obediently.

The uncle-nephew relations.h.i.+p was the only link between them.

That was why he was especially furious when she did such a thing and wanted to break this bond.

She wanted to sever the only connection between them.

But she couldnt let this matter rest so easily.

She could only stay by his side.

She wanted to maintain this uncle-nephew relations.h.i.+p, but he didnt want to.

This relations.h.i.+p couldnt allow them to be together forever. She wanted to leave and even marry Han Jichi. Sooner or later, she would leave him to have children with another man and spend the rest of her life with him.

How could he?

Uncle Uncle, we cant

Shang Qiqi was no match for this man.

Tears streamed down her face.

Why? Shang Qingmo kissed the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked her softly, Isnt this what youve always wanted?

I dont want it now.

Shang Qingmo seemed determined to be gentle to her. Even though the veins on his forehead showed his anger, he still said gently, That wont do. I want it.

Little Uncle, we cant Can you let me off?

Shang Qingmo kissed her cheek, chin, and neck. No.

Shang Qiqi closed her eyes in despair. Have you ever thought about what Im doing? Dont forget that you have a fiance now. What are you doing to me?

This sentence seemed to be effective.

As expected, Shang Qingmo stopped.

Shang Qiqi opened her eyes slowly and hurriedly retreated to the bed with her messy dress. Tears streamed down her face.

Shang Qingmo sat up on the bed with one leg bent. Her dark gaze landed outside the window.

Shang Qiqi looked at him nervously, hoping that Shang Qingmo would regain her rationality.

He was too impulsive just now. As long as he calmed down

I can After a long silence, Shang Qiqi said softly, I can pretend that nothing happened tonight

Shang Qingmo, who had been silent, suddenly turned to look at her. His dark eyes were filled with a dark and cold light.

After a long while, he slowly stood up from the bed and seemed to have calmed down completely.

However, what he said next did not make Shang Qiqi relax.

Ill handle this matter.

With that, he left.

When the door closed, Shang Qiqi was still in a daze.

So, what did he mean by that?

How was he going to handle this?

She thought for a long time and felt that it was impossible.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door and the servants voice sounded.

Miss.

Seeing how messy she was, Shang Qiqi hurriedly opened the wardrobe and pulled out a nightgown that she had left here a few years ago before opening the door.

The servant didnt dare to look up immediately. It was only when she saw from the corner of her eye that she seemed to have changed her clothes that she looked up and handed the tray to her.

This is the supper that Master ordered me to make for you.

Shang Qiqi did not have dinner tonight.

There was a bowl of steaming beef noodles on the tray. There were two eggs and many side dishes.

This was her favorite food.

There had always been many ingredients in the noodle shops around the school. There was not much meat, but there were plenty of various dishes. She had always coveted them.

Once, she was caught stealing food and she insisted on eating it. He cooked for her personally.

Back then, when she was instructing him on what to add in the noodle shop, although he was very impatient, he added them all for her.

Her eyes reddened and some memories seemed to have been embedded in her genes. No matter how much time had pa.s.sed, she would inadvertently recall them.

Thank you.

She took the tray and the servant smiled. Mr Shang cooked it himself.

Shang Qiqi was not surprised.

Only he knew how to eat.

After dinner, Shang Qiqi wanted to send the tray downstairs. However, the moment she opened the door, she saw a servant guarding the door.

Ill do it. The servant quickly took it. Miss, Master wants you to finish your meal and rest early.

Shang Qiqi paused. Can you lend me your phone? I want to turn it on.

The servant quickly lowered her head. Im sorry, Miss. I dont have a phone.

Shang Qiqi frowned. Then help me borrow my uncles.

Mr Shang isnt home.

Shang Qiqi felt that something was amiss. She turned around and changed into a simple set of clothes. When she opened the door, there was still someone guarding it.

From a servant to two bodyguards in black.

When he saw her, he reached out to stop her.

Shang Qiqis face darkened. I want to go home.

The bodyguard said expressionlessly, Master said this is your home.

By now, no matter how stupid Shang Qiqi was, she knew.

She was locked up by Shang Qingmo.

Wheres my uncle?

Master is busy. He wants you to rest early.

The bodyguards att.i.tude was stiff and Shang Qiqi knew that there was nothing she could do.

Besides, she had already gone through too much tonight.

She returned to her room. She didnt have a phone or any equipment to communicate or go online. She lay on the bed uneasily. She couldnt think of what the usually calm and steady Shang Qingmo would do.

It wasnt until the next day when she heard the commotion outside that she opened her eyes.

Wheres Qiqi?! Where did you take her?!

Shang Yekuns exasperated voice sounded from outside the window. She jolted awake and jumped off the bed.

Opening the window, she saw the old man entering the villa angrily.

She quickly turned around and opened the door to go downstairs, but was stopped.

Shang Qiqi frowned deeply. Cant I just go downstairs?

The bodyguard said seriously, Its not convenient for you to go downstairs now.

The person downstairs is my grandfather.

Miss, lets wait a little longer.

*

Downstairs, as soon as Old Master Shang entered the house, his cane landed on the side of Shang Qingmos neck.

Old Master! The old butler was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurried forward and grabbed his arm.

Shang Yekun was so angry that he couldnt stand steadily. With one hand on his walking stick and the other pointing at Shang Qingmo, his lips trembled.

Call off the engagement? Are you crazy?!
