The burly man sensed hope and thanked Qian Tao. “Miss Qian, I won’t do it anymore. I promise!”

She didn’t know if he meant it but when she saw that Li Hengzhi did not say anything as if he had tacitly consented, she quickly added, “Mr. Fang, let him go quickly. I don’t feel comfortable looking at him.”

“Get out of here!”

The burly man scrambled away. Fang Hengqi and his subordinate followed suit, as if to put an end to this matter.

“Being kind?” he asked rhetorically.

“I’m not kind,” Qian Tao said faintly, denying, “I do not have the intention to let him go but when Mr. Fang said to make sure he doesn’t get a job, he may rob or kill. He doesn’t look like a good person and when forced to a dead end, he could do anything.”

After a while, Qian Tao suddenly exclaimed, “It’s a normal act of a man to protect his wife, isn’t it?”

Li Hengzhi looked at her suspiciously but did not answer.

Qian Tao smiled. “So, that ten thousand dollars need not be redeemed? After all, you have lots of money and you won’t mind this little bit, right?”

“If I redeem from the mayor, it won’t be just ten thousand dollars?”

“Don’t!” Qian Tao immediately added, “I did not tell them about us.”

‘If they knew, I don’t know what they would think!’ Probably, they would think that they came to Yinchuan for a date but actually it was a coincidence that they met. Never did she expect to meet him at a nightclub in Yinchuan.

This night club by itself was not small and yet they met at that specific moment, wasn’t it a coincidence?

While Qian Tao was murmuring to herself, she did not notice that Li Hengzhi’s eyes had darkened.

“So, Xiao Yuanhang doesn’t know what we did that night?”

Looking at her nervousness, most likely she was afraid that Xiao Yuanhang would know.

Was he that much of an embarrassment?

The more she wanted to hide, the more he wanted Xiao Yuanhang to know. Xiao Yuanhang’s future success was dependent on a woman’s sacrifice.

“Qian Tao, are you stupid or is your IQ low? You used yourself to exchange for the Xiao family’s peace and you have to see him marrying your own sister, why did you do so?”

Him calling her name directly made her feel that he was seriously discussing this matter with her. “It’s nothing.”

“Forget it.” He gave up asking further when Qian Tao was worried that he would get to the bottom of it.

Li Hengzhi laughed at his own meaningless question. What had Qian Tao and Xiao Yuanhang’s relationship got to do with him? He thought he was too free after meal, that was why he asked.

Before Fang Hengqi returned, Li Hengzhi and Qian Tao had left that place.

They met at the corridor. Fang Hengqi came running. “Hey bro, are you leaving? I haven’t treated you and sis-in-law for a meal!”

Him calling “sis-in-law” made her feel awkward.

“It’s alright,” Li Hengzhi answered coldly, “Just buy us a wedding gift.”

Fang Hengqi was stunned. “Are you really getting married?”

Qian Tao felt like crying but there were no tears. She wished to ask him, “Are we really getting married?”

She was hoping that one day, Yan Hai would inform her that it was merely a joke or he would go back on his words and didn’t want her. She could accept all of these!

“When have I ever joked with you?”

Once again, Fang Hengqi looked at Qian Tao, trying to find clues from her expression but there were no clues on her sweet smiling face.

Li Hengzhi turned around and his expression turned colder, as if his prey had been eyed. He placed his hand in between them, pushed Fang Hengqi’s face unhappily and hissed. “Go home and look at your own wife!”
