章 3: 003 Escaped Unharmed
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
Xia Jin was dragged into the lounge by Zhou Qi. Before she could react, the door of the lounge was locked by Zhou Qi from the inside.
His face came closer to her. Zhou Qi leaned over and tried to kiss her. "Baby, you're so beautiful. Let me have a good time…"
Xia Jin desperately tried to push him away, but her strength was too weak. She could not move at all after Zhou Qi grabbed her.
His breath, which reeked of alcohol, made her feel sick to her stomach.
"President Zhou, this is the lounge. It won't be good if someone comes over…" Xia Jin was still struggling desperately, but her strength was running out bit by bit.
"Wouldn't that be more exciting?" Zhou Qi seemed to have some strange sensual fetish. Not only was he not afraid, but he even grew more excited by her words.
Xia Jin started to grow more anxious about her current situation. However, Huo Jue's face came to mind when she was desperate and helpless.
Huo Jue, you are really ruthless! Do you even have a conscience?!
Intense sorrow gushed out within her under extreme anger. Xia Jin's eyes welled up and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Zhou Qi's hand was already reaching into the hem of her blouse. His cold fingers slid across her warm skin, causing her to shudder violently.
Xia Jin's pupils instantly contracted, and she bit hard on his shoulder with a surge of strength from nowhere!
"Son of a gun! You're looking for death!" A sharp pain shot through Zhou Qi's shoulder. He let out a low growl angrily and raised his hand to slap Xia Jin.
Since they had shed all pretenses of cordiality, Zhou Qi had no more scruples at all. He ruthlessly pinned Xia Jin underneath him.
Xia Jin suddenly called out a name while hyperventilating. "Huo Fei!"
Zhou Qi's actions came to a halt.
Huo Fei was Huo Jue's cousin. It was said that Zhou Qi tried to pursue Huo Fei when he was abroad, but he had never succeeded.
Seeing that Zhou Qi was stunned, Xia Jin licked her dry lips and quickly organized the words in her mind.
"Didn't Mr. Zhou have a crush on Huo Fei?"
Zhou Qi sneered. "What are you trying to say?"
"Mr. Zhou, you know that I've been with President Huo for five years. After being toyed around by him for five years, he sent me to you after getting tired of me. If you really accept this, doesn't that mean that you can only toy around with the women he used?" As Xia Jin finished her words, she saw Zhou Qi's face darkening.
However, she did not seem to be afraid at all and continued, "You know that Huo Fei is Huo Jue's cousin. Do you think Huo Jue will let Huo Fei marry a man who messed around with his secretary? No way! The Huo family will lose face if he really agreed. Please think carefully about why he brought me here today."
When Zhou Qi heard her words, some doubt flashed within his eyes.
Xia Jin took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Qi sharply. "This is because you will never have a chance with Huo Fei if you touch me! He will also completely tarnish your image in front of Huo Fei, saying that you can't even spare his secretary! Mr. Zhou, I'm just a woman that Huo Jue has been tired of playing. How can I be compared to Miss Huo? With a status like yours, only Miss Huo can be worthy of you. In addition, I can help you get Miss Huo if you're willing!"
Xia Jin finished her words at one go and looked at Zhou Qi nervously.
A few seconds later, Zhou Qi's hand left her body.
Xia Jin was entirely drenched in sweat. Her cold sweat dampened her clothes, and they were sticking to her skin uncomfortably.
"Just by you? How can you help me?" Although Zhou Qi let her off the hook for the moment, he did not seem to quite trust her words.
Xia Jin forced a smile. "I've been with Huo Jue for five years, and he trusts me. When Miss Huo returns from abroad, I can ask to receive her and give you and Miss Huo a chance to be alone."
Her words seemed to dispel Zhou Qi's doubts, but he was still a little uneasy.
"Why should I trust you? What if you run away without helping me?"
"This matter is just like your business dealings. There are risks involved, but Miss Huo is the apple of the Old Master Huo's eyes and also President Huo's cousin. Isn't her status worth the risk?" Since Xia Jin followed Huo Jue for so long, she knew very well when and what to say.
At this time, if she assured Zhou Qi that she would not betray him, he would not believe her.
It was better to admit the risk of this matter and let Zhou Qi see the benefits so that he would be willing to take the risk.
"I'm just a nobody. If I really lied to you, you have thousands of ways to retaliate against me. I wouldn't dare to go against someone like you." A hint of fear and ingratiation appeared in Xia Jin's eyes at the right time.
