Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

Chapter 876: Chapter 878: Don’t Get the Wrong Idea

Xia Qingqian felt it was better to remain silent; she believed Du Ziheng was just a philanderer and being with him was quite dangerous.

”Qing Qian, is your stomach feeling better?” His voice suddenly softened. These days, he had been relentlessly hounded by his mother, leaving him no chance to meet Xia Qingqian.

”Mm, much better, thank you for your concern, Young Master Du.” Xia Qingqian sensed that Du Ziheng had slowed down the car speed, and she calmed down.

”I’ve been thinking about you these days. Have you thought about me?” Du Ziheng said shamelessly.

Xia Qingqian, being quite sensitive, immediately felt uncomfortable upon hearing Du Ziheng’s ambiguous words.

”Young Master Du, I am usually very busy with work...” Her work was indeed busy, having to translate many documents daily, leaving her no time to be distracted.

”Qing Qian, call me Zi Heng, calling me Young Master is too distant.” A trace of sorrow flashed in Du Ziheng’s eyes, as if Xia Qingqian’s words had really hurt him.

”You’re Young Master’s friend, I should call you Young Master Du.” Xia Qingqian turned pale with fright; if she dared to call Du Ziheng like that, her end would surely be tragic. Young Master absolutely wouldn’t allow her to have frequent contact with any male.

Du Ziheng felt defeated, suddenly unsure of what to say, recalling the moment when Eva was clinging to him and Xia Qingqian turned her face away.

He hurriedly explained, ”Qing Qian, I’m not like what you think. I couldn’t find a dance partner, so I contacted Eva, don’t misunderstand.”

Xia Qingqian chuckled and shook her head, ”Young Master Du, you don’t need to explain to me. Eva is indeed very beautiful.” Xia Qingqian admired, Eva truly was a beauty, liked by all who saw her.

”Qing Qian, can I ask you for a favor?” Du Ziheng didn’t want to discuss other women with her, thinking of his mother’s words.

His mother had given him two days, to bring a girl home for dinner before she returned to Europe.

”As long as it’s within my capability, I will definitely help you.”

”Just accompanying me to a meal, it’s very simple.” Du Ziheng’s eyes lit up; last time, he had refrained from inviting due to fear of being too abrupt.

Xia Qingqian looked at Du Ziheng a little troubled, ”Can it be something else?” If Young Master found out, he would surely not agree.

”Are you afraid Yao wouldn’t agree to let you have a meal with me?” Du Ziheng perceived her worry.

Xia Qingqian said nothing, calmly looking at the night scenery ahead, hoping to reach the dance party quickly, praying she would arrive before Young Master.

”Young Master Du, you’re aware of the relationship between me and Young Master, I hope you can understand.” Xia Qingqian’s voice was low and slow, a faint sadness gleaming in her indifferent eyes.

This kind of estrangement seemed permanent, Du Ziheng regretted not fighting Beitang Yao in the beginning, if he’d insisted, maybe Xia Qingqian would be his.

”Qing Qian, when I first saw you at Ye Weiyang, I thought you were that kind of casual woman.” Du Ziheng spoke gently, ”Later, when you went to the Golden Venerate Hotel to find Yao, I truly began to take notice of you. It was Yao who asked me to handle your family’s matters.”

He had never seen a woman sacrifice her most precious things for her family. Though a playboy, he was instantly stunned by her sacrifice for her family.

He also wondered if Yao had gone too far. But no matter how much he regretted for Xia Qingqian, things couldn’t be reversed.
