His voice interrupted Ji Ziqing's daze. She forced a smile and took a few deep breaths to regain her composure. She took the red wine from him.
She turned to Xing Shaohuang, who was sitting on the sofa, and curled her lips in a mocking manner." I didn't expect that President Quan, who has five good men in the business world, would actually lower himself to come to a place like The Palace. As expected, your good reputation in the industry is just for show. Today, I finally learned the saying that you can't judge a person's heart by their appearance.”
Ji Ziqing's tone was filled with hostility, and the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point. The stranger whistled in surprise." Beauty, you're quite bold. There are only a handful of people in the capital who dare to go against Young Emperor. You're brave!"”
"Ninth Young Master Quan, let me give you a piece of advice. Don't make friends with such a beastly man! Be careful that one day you'll be sold and even help him count his money.”Ji Ziqing glanced at the expressionless Xing Shaohuang and was instantly enraged by his disregard for her. Her words became sharper and harsher.
"You know me?" Quan Jiu's teasing gaze darted back and forth between Xing Shaohuang and Ji Ziqing's faces, his face blatantly saying," You two are having an affair."
"He's the young master of the Quan family.”Ji Ziqing smiled sarcastically.
"Manager Ji, you seem to have forgotten why you're here, right?”Suddenly, Xing Shaohuang, who had been silent, spoke faintly. His voice was low and very recognizable.
His cold and distant address instantly suppressed Ji Ziqing's arrogance, and her lips curled into a bitter smile.
Xing Shaohuang could easily ignite her flames, but he could also easily extinguish her anger. He was like a monarch who held the power of life and death, looking down on all living beings from above. He killed decisively and did not show mercy to anyone.
He was indeed a cold and heartless man. Other than at home, no matter what the occasion was, he always had a business-like attitude when he saw her and did not have the slightest hint of politeness.
Was her choice right or wrong? Would the bitter persistence and foolish waiting be able to exchange for the same value in return?
Ji Ziqing's tensed face broke into a dejected smile. She tilted her head and downed the glass of red wine in one gulp before snatching two more glasses from Quan Jiu's hands and finishing them without hesitation.
The cold and spicy wine slowly flowed down her throat. Her heart seemed to have been stimulated until it turned cold. It was as if this was the only way for her to maintain her consciousness.
Quan Jiu stared at Ji Ziqing with great interest as a charming smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Ruhua, let's go!" Ji Ziqing placed the empty wine glass on the table and pulled Ruhua, who was in the corner, out of the door. Before she left, she heard Xing Shaohuang's cold voice behind her." Manager Ji, please find two presentable people."”
"Yes, President Xing." Ji Ziqing stopped in her tracks as the cold smile on her lips grew colder.
The door of room 006 was slammed shut, isolating her from the cold and scrutinizing gaze. She seemed to have lost all her strength, and her legs slowly went limp. Her back was pressed against the cold wall, and her eyes were sparkling with tears.
"Manager Ji, what's wrong?" Hua Hua asked, not knowing what to do.
Noticing that there were people around, Ji Ziqing wiped her tears and forced a smile." It's okay. Go to 009 and do as I told you. Don't be afraid!”
"Alright, Manager Ji." Ruhua nodded and walked to the end of the corridor with her short and thick legs.
Ji Ziqing tidied her hair and touched up her makeup. After confirming that there were no signs of crying, she returned to her usual flirtatious and seductive appearance.
In the private room, Quan Jiu crossed his legs and rested his arms lazily on the sofa's armrest. He glanced sideways at Xing Shaohuang, who was swirling the wine in his glass, and blinked his eyes." What's going on between you and that Manager Ji? Why does she look like she ate explosives when she sees you? She was like a completely different person from when she first entered.”
Xing Shaohuang stared at the ripples on the surface of the red wine. His thin lips curled into a sarcastic smile, and his deep black eyes were cold." Do you know who she is?”
"Your one-night stand partner?" Quan Jiu guessed excitedly.
"She's the heiress of Ji Group and Ji Zimo's sister.”Xing Shaohuang sneered and took a sip of red wine before replying slowly.
Quan Jiu's eyes widened in shock. His handsome face was filled with disbelief as he asked," She's the little princess of the Ji family? However, with her status, why would she come to the Imperial Palace, a place of sensuality, to be a bullsh * t manager? Doesn't the Ji family care about her?"
"Guan? The Ji family has left the mess to me.”Xing Shaohuang narrowed his eyes. His pitch-black pupils flashed dangerously under the reflection of the colorful lights. His right index finger tapped the armrest of the sofa from time to time, creating a threatening pressure.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Quan Jiu's confused expression. He gulped down a large mouthful of red wine and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth." Her name is Ji Ziqing. Are you sure you don't remember her?!”
