Chapter 57: His Guest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Hengzhi looked at Qian Tao without much change in his expression and did not utter a single word.

Qian Tao.

This girl had attracted his attention from the beginning.

He was not a masochist, nor did he like being plotted against. There wasn’t a scarcity in those who had plotted against him, be it men or women, and those who dared to plot against Li Hengzhi usually did not face good outcomes.

However, she had become an exception.

He even felt sympathetic towards her after knowing her true intention.

Maybe he wanted to see how much this girl could do for the sake of someone she loved until now.

When they came to a crossroad, Yan Hai, who had been keeping quiet, asked, “Mr. Li, do we go to the hospital?”

Li Hengzhi nodded but Qian Tao refused. “It’s not necessary! I’m fine, we don’t have to go to the hospital.”

A question mark rose in between his brows.

Qian Tao might have more than one secret.

She seemed to have a huge resistance towards the hospital.

Since she didn’t feel like going and looked like she did not suffer any major injury, but was rather in a state of shock, he agreed. “Let’s send her home.”

“No!” Qian Tao refused once again and this time, she was louder.

Li Hengzhi’s eyes were filled with uncertainties. Qian Tao lowered her head and requested softly, “Can you please send me to a hotel?”

If she were to go home with her current appearance, wouldn’t she frighten her family members?

She didn’t want her father to be in a state of anxiety. She knew that her father did not intentionally reject her call. If he had known she was in danger, he would definitely have thought of ways to save her. So, she did not blame him.

There were a few seconds of silence in the car until finally, Li Hengzhi instructed, “Go home.”

Qian Tao’s eyes flickered. His home? Xiangshui Bay?

Finally, she did not retort and silently agreed.

She had no money with her and if they were to go to the hotel, she would have to borrow money from him. Let it be his home, it was not like she had not been there before. The most terrible consequence that could happen was that they would have sex. Between them, the only thing lacking was a title. Sex was something that would happen sooner or later.

Yan Hai left immediately after dropping them off at the villa in Xiangshui Bay.

The rain had stopped and the garden’s after rain view was scenic. The ground was full of dead leaves and at the edge of the twigs were crystal-like water drops. It was fresh and beautiful, giving off a comfortable vibe.

The only thing that did not match the scene was their appearance. Both of them were unkempt and all wet from head to toe.

Li Hengzhi called a few times but nobody answered. It seemed that Ji Xuan was not at home.

“Wait here for me.”

When he turned around, he suddenly heard “Achoo!”. Qian Tao, who was standing in the hall, sneezed.

Li Hengzhi quickly grabbed a blanket and threw it over to her, but the blanket landed on her head.

Qian Tao took the blanket off her head and wrapped herself in it. She pouted. He had thrown her the blanket out of concern, but why did he throw it in such a rough manner? The sense of beauty disappeared following that gesture of his.

She was unsure if Li Hengzhi had gone to look for Ji Xuan or to look for clean clothing but he did not return for quite a good while. Qian Tao covered herself with the blanket while sitting on the couch.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Qian Tao looked toward the door, thinking that perhaps Ji Xuan had returned.

She was not sure what Ji Xuan would think looking at her current appearance.

However, the person who came in was not Ji Xuan but another young lady.

The girl was wearing the new season’s branded clothing and her way of dressing was as young and as adorable as she was. She had thick eyelashes like a doll’s and big round eyes which were extremely alert. When she walked into the house, her little lips were mumbling and when she closed the door, her bright, piercing eyes fell on Qian Tao. She was taken aback and asked with uncertainty, “Oh…you are?”
