Chapter 13: As Long As She Wasn’t Around
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xia Qing's expression froze. Seeing his distant and indifferent expression, she hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand. I was just too worried about you. Alright, let's see if you're hurt..."
"I know." Xie Xun's voice was clear. "But I think it's better for us to keep our distance. Also... Try not to look for me in the future in case someone sees us and causes unnecessary misunderstandings."
Xia Qing's face instantly turned pale. "Xie Xun, what do you mean... We... We're not friends anymore? You... You're not going to see me anymore?"
"Yes, we're not going to see each other anymore."
Xia Qing's face was deathly pale and her entire body was cold. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stopped. "Was it Qin Zheng? Was it Qin Zheng who forced you?!"
This time, Xie Xun was silent.
Seeing Xie Xun's appearance, what else did Xia Qing not understand? She was so angry that her breathing was chaotic. "Qin Zheng went too far! She actually forced you?! What does she think of you? She doesn't even let you make friends!"
Xia Qing raised her head and looked at the man's handsome and silent face. She said urgently: "Xie Xun, Qin Zheng is restricting you from making friends now, and it will only become more and more outrageous in the future!"
Xie Xun said with a faint voice: "She is the young miss of the Qin Corporation, and I am only an ordinary person..." What he meant was that even if he did not want to accept Qin Zheng's control, he had to accept it.
Xia Qing became even more angry. "This is bullying! It's too despicable!"
Xie Xun interrupted her with an indifferent voice: "Xia Qing, in the future, you should not say such things. It's not good to be heard by others."
Xia Qing was slightly startled, but she quickly understood something. She raised her head and looked at the man's handsome face. She was very touched. Xie Xun's situation was already very difficult, but he was still worried that she would be implicated.
Xia Qing became more determined in her heart. She must save Xie Xun from the sea of fire, but... That woman, Qin Zheng, was really too difficult to deal with. In A City, she couldn't do anything to Qin Zheng.
Suddenly, she thought of an idea. She stared at Xie Xun with shining eyes. "Xie Xun, let's leave this place. Go to a place where Qin Zheng and Wang Quan can't find you. Wang Quan won't have any more ideas about you, and you won't have to be coerced by Qin Zheng anymore."
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible. Her tone became excited, and her eyes became even hotter. "I still have some savings in my hands. It's enough for us to go abroad. Xie Xun, I can take you away from here. Once you leave here, you'll be completely free!"
Looking at Xia Qing's excited and happy expression, a cold dark light flashed across Xie Xun's eyes. He said indifferently, "It won't be that easy. With Qin Zheng's power in A City, she will catch us before we even reached the airport."
Xia Qing's breathing stopped. That's right. With Qin Zheng's care for Xie Xun, she would probably have sent people to spy on him in the dark. If he could escape, how could Xie Xun stay here all the time?
Xia Qing was a little anxious. "Then what should we do? Qin Zheng is getting more and more outrageous. Maybe one day, she will imprison you!"
"There's no other way." Xie Xun's dark eyes turned gloomy. "Unless Qin Zheng is gone, with her status in A City, no one can do anything to her."
Xia Qing clenched her fists unwillingly. She knew that Xie Xun was right, but she was even more unwilling. "Do we really have no way to go against that woman and can only let her do whatever she wants? She--"
Suddenly, Xia Qing's voice stopped, and Xie Xun's voice echoed in her mind.
Unless she was gone... Unless Qin Zheng was gone... That's right, if Qin Zheng was gone, wouldn't she and Xie Xun be free? Xia Qing's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes flickered, and the light in her eyes changed. A trace of struggle flashed across her face, and she finally made up her mind.
Xia Qing raised her head again and looked at Xie Xun seriously. She showed a determined expression. "Xie Xun, don't worry. I'll take you out of here soon. You won't have to be threatened by that bully Qin Zheng anymore!" Then, she turned around and left.
..
According to Xie Xun, Qin Zheng had indeed scared away all the women who admired Xie Xun. However, the way they looked at her was also very strange.
However, Qin Zheng did not care about these details. After she finished acting, she sat in her usual seat in the bar. This seat was very close to Xie Xun. As long as she raised her head slightly, she would be able to see Xie Xun mixing drinks at the bar counter.
Colorful lights shone down from the top of his head. Under the dim light, the man's handsome and beautiful face looked even more like a poem and a painting. His beauty could topple cities.
Xie Xun was making a cup of wine. His movements were fluid and smooth, and he did it in one go. His every movement was like a painting, pleasing to the eye. Qin Zheng watched and could not help but be mesmerized.
