Chapter 692 - You Feel Wronged When I’m Cold Toward You?

Now that case was solved, Tang Yan was keeping his promise. After going to the hospital with Feng Shanshan to treat his wounds, he went back to the police station to treat everyone to a meal.

Seeing that Mu Qiqi was not around, Feng Shanshan immediately called her. “Are you joining us for a meal?”

“No...” Mu Qiqi was a little depressed as she rejected her. “Something happened at home.”

“Something to do your big CEO?”

“Don’t worry about it. Hurry up and make out with your Captain Tang.” Mu Qiqi hung up the phone in a bad mood. Then, she leaned on the dressing table in the bedroom and looked at herself.

The time was 9 pm. To be precise, it was 9:15 pm.

The man who should have been home a long time ago was still missing. Why was he so angry? Mu Qiqi thought for a moment, put on her coat, and went to Zhongteng by car.

When the secretary saw her enter Zhongteng’s hall, she wanted to go up and greet her, but Mu Qiqi didn’t let her. “Where’s Sheng Xiao?”

“He’s still in a meeting. The police have publicized Lin Yukun’s matter, and Zhongteng is cooperating with the public relations team, so the CEO is still dealing with the aftermath.”

“Then I’ll wait outside. You don’t have to bother with me. Go do your work.” Mu Qiqi’s attitude was like a child who had done something wrong.

“You don’t need me to call the CEO?”

“No need. I’ll wait for him outside.” She did not have the guts to do that in a fit of anger. To be precise, Sheng Xiao had never been really angry with her, so she did not know whether this man would fall for her coquettish act.

“Alright then. If there’s anything you need, let me know, Madam.”

Mu Qiqi nodded and went to sit on the sofa. She had thought that Sheng Xiao would be able to clean up the mess pretty quickly, but unexpectedly, she waited for three hours.

Usually, Sheng Xiao gave her many privileges because he doted on her and loved her. Now that he was suddenly angry, it was as if she had returned to the past. When she had a crush on Sheng Xiao, she had to be careful with everything.

She had always known that she could rely on Xiao Xiao’s love to be fearless. She had never thought that he would be so distant and cold. Mu Qiqi felt wronged as she thought about it.

At 12:15 pm, Sheng Xiao finally put on his windbreaker and walked out of the President’s office. Immediately after, he saw the secretary pointing in the direction of the sofa outside the office.

Sheng Xiao turned around. In an instant, his brows furrowed.

That was because Mu Qiqi was sitting on the sofa. Her eyes were filled with tears and she was almost about to cry.

“Madam has been here for three hours. She didn’t let me call you.”

Was she playing a trick on him?

Sheng Xiao raised his chin, then turned around and said to his secretary, “You can go home now.”

“Then I’ll be leaving first.” The secretary carried her bag and quickly made room for the couple. However, the grand CEO did not move.

He only looked at Mu Qiqi for a long time before asking, “Is it wrong?”

“It’s wrong,” Mu Qiqi said while holding back her tears.

“You know you’re wrong, so why aren’t you going home?”

Mu Qiqi stood up from the sofa and followed Sheng Xiao. When they reached the ground floor, feeling very wronged, Mu Qiqi said, “You’re in the wrong too.”

Sheng Xiao turned around and looked at her.

“You’re the support of my feelings, but you’ve learned to be angry and cold toward me. I’m self-conscious. You know very well that if you give me a warning, I’m able to correct myself immediately. I don’t make the same mistake twice, but you’ve suddenly given me negative feelings. So, now I know. If one day, you don’t love me anymore, this is what I’ll end up with.

“In these three to four hours, it’s as if my soul has been stripped away. Have I relied too much on you? I don’t have any self-awareness at all.”

After listening to her words, Shengxiao forcefully pulled her into his arms. “If you dare to leave me, you can try. I’ve told you a long time ago that since you’ve dragged me into Hell, you can’t think of leaving.”

“I don’t want to leave,” Mu Qiqi choked and said. “You’re angry. I’m uneasy. I don’t feel safe.”

“I should just push you onto the bed and beat your ass until you beg for mercy.” Sheng Xiao brought her back to Zhongteng’s office and then threw her on the sofa. “Can’t I be angry? You stinky thing...”

“If you’re angry, my heart will be broken,” Mu Qiqi lied on the sofa and answered. “On one hand, I don’t know how to coax you, but on the other hand, I feel really wronged to be ignored by you. I’d rather you give me a good beating than ignore me for four hours. I really can’t stand it.”

With that, Mu Qiqi stuck out her little butt. “Go ahead.”

“Is it so awkward just to apologize?”

“I know I’m wrong,” Mu Qiqi replied.

“Are you still going to be a hostage?” Sheng Xiao hugged her and asked coldly. The little one’s resistance was getting stronger and stronger. It was completely different from before.

“No, I’m scared.”

Sheng Xiao flipped her over and hugged her again. “You feel wronged when I’m cold toward you?”

Mu Qiqi nodded with tears on her face.

“Three hours is nothing. Even if I’m angry at you for three days or three years, you’re the only one by my side. There won’t be anyone else. I’m married, so I don’t plan on getting a divorce.”

“So... There’s no need to feel insecure.”

As Sheng Xiao spoke, he wiped away the tears at the corners of Mu Qiqi’s eyes. “However, I still didn’t expect you to have such a big reaction...”

“You blame me for not remembering your instructions. How did you ever know about your place in my heart?”

Mu Qiqi countered with a question.

Sheng Xiao choked for a moment. In the end, he could only admit defeat. “If there’s a next time...”

“There won’t be a next time.” Mu Qiqi held Sheng Xiao’s fist and repeated. “There won’t...”

Since it was so awkward to be angry, how could he still be angry? Sheng Xiao had only wanted to teach this little one a lesson, but he did not expect that it would make her so uneasy.

He really did not realize that he had such an important place in this little one’s heart.

He thought that she had long forgotten about it.

“Even so, I still don’t regret being cold to you for a few hours.” Sheng Xiao took the opportunity to lift Mu Qiqi’s chin that was wet with her tears. “Because this made me see clearly how deep your feelings for me are, even though I didn’t do it on purpose.”

When Mu Qiqi heard this, she bit Sheng Xiao’s shoulder.

Sheng Xiao smiled and pointed at his lips. “Come bite this...”

“Are you still angry?”

Sheng Xiao sighed and reached out to stroke her hair. “How could I be?”

Mu Qiqi hugged him fiercely and took in his scent. “Just because I’m not pestering you doesn’t mean that my feelings for you are fading. You’re rooted in my heart and nothing can surpass or compare to you. Do you understand?

“Today at the branch office, I was just acting out of instinct to protect the weak. I wasn’t trying to show off. Just take it as if I’d lost my mind, even though I don’t regret what I said.

“I’ll work harder to learn martial arts. Xiao Xiao... you have to believe me.”

What else did Sheng Xiao not believe?

Because he knew that whatever he said, the little one would take it seriously and try her best to carry it out. She had never treated his words as something meaningless.
