Chapter 0038 Stay with me (1 / 2)

She gently blew away the hot air rising from the bowl, carefully brought the warm soup medicine close to his slightly opened lips, and whispered softly, “Be careful, don’t burn it.”

Time seemed to pass slowly with this meticulous care, and within a short time, the bowl was drained of his medicine.

She then gathered up the empty bowls and stood up, ready to leave the subtly filled space, “I’ll be in the study, if you need anything, just order the maids to come find me.”

However, just as he was about to turn around, his wrist was suddenly clasped tightly by a strong hand, and it was Qi Zhi Iu’s command that could not be refused, “I told you long ago, you can’t go anywhere tonight, you must stay by my side!”

Along with the rubbing of his temples, that original calmness in his tone had been replaced by a hint of imperceptible agitation. “Why do I have to repeat these words over and over again?”

This questioning made Su Wanqing’s heart couldn’t help but tighten, and the hand holding the bowl subconsciously clenched, her knuckles whitening.

She tried to soothe him, her tone full of concern and reason, “What you need most right now is plenty of rest, it’s vital to your recovery.”

Qi Zhi Iu, however, smiled coldly and slowly raised his head, as if there were ice prongs in his eyes, revealing an irrefutable chill, “Could it be that you think that I can’t know what’s on your mind? You want to take advantage of my slumber to leave quietly?”

Faced with this almost irrational accusation, Su Wanqing was dumbfounded and could only lick her lips, which were dry from nervousness, and compromised, “Alright, I will stay and accompany you.”

The maid on the side came forward at the right time and took the empty bowl from her hand, gently echoing, “Young master, you should rest first, and when you wake up, your body will definitely feel much more relaxed.”

Su Wanqing paused at the bedside, looking at him with a gentle but firm look, giving him silent encouragement and comfort, “I won’t leave, rest at ease.”

Just as she was about to turn around, a low, powerful “Someone!”

Breaking the silence in the room.

“Young Master Qi, what is your order?”

A trained bodyguard pushed his way in and respectfully inquired.

“Go get me a pair of handcuffs.”

Qi Zhiyu’s gaze blazed hot and stubborn, not moving away for half a second, emphasizing again, “You promised you’d stay here.”

“Kizhi Iu, you …… you want to handcuff me?”

Su Wanqing’s voice could not hide her shock and unbelief, as if she was recognizing the man in front of her for the first time, “Are you really crazy?”

He would not wake up from this slumber until at least early morning.

And if he was really bound here by handcuffs, he would undoubtedly miss his important flight to River City tomorrow.

“You know full well that I have an important business trip tomorrow!”

Her words were mingled with helplessness and anxiety as she tried to struggle, yet the disparity in gender and strength made her efforts futile.

In panic, her voice began to tremble and tears glistened, “Qi Zhi Iu, you can’t do this, it’s not fair!”

“It’s just a partnership about the clothing trade, and losing it won’t do anything!”

Qi Zhi Iu’s tone was filled with impatience, almost chiding, “With your status as the young lady of the Qi family, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to find a company that is willing to take the initiative to cooperate? Why do you have to insist on cooperating with that third-rate small town project in Jiang City? Could it be that you have something else in mind?”

At this point in the conversation, his eyes steeply became cold, as if he could penetrate the hearts of people, “Or is it that, by taking the opportunity to go to Jiang City, you actually want to meet some other man?”

Other Men ……

The thought had never occurred to her!

If it wasn’t for the binding marriage contract and the fear of him having an accident in a drunken stupor, she really wished she could be as free as Zhou Yaoshi, finding the company of a handsome young model and enjoying that freedom to do as she pleased.
