Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 244 Weakness

Arriving on the second floor, Xie Jincheng held Shen Qianhe in his arms and turned left and right, and entered a guest bedroom.

Shen Qianhe was feeling nervous, thinking that Xie Jincheng was going to put her on the bed, but unexpectedly he went straight to the bathroom.

Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and her fingertips unconsciously grasped his collar.

"husband..."

She pursed her lips, pinched her throat, and said in a pretentious manner, "I can't touch my feet..."

Before he uttered the word "water", Shen Qianhe's eyes widened.

Xie Jincheng just held her with one hand and pressed it under the bathroom mirror.

An elevator actually appeared behind the mirror!

The elevator door slowly opened, and Xie Jincheng walked in holding Shen Qianhe.

The interior of the elevator was completely dark, with only a circle of faint blue LED lights inlaid on the top, which made the faces of the two people flicker.

"When did they build such a hidden elevator here?"

Shen Qianhe looked around, somewhat curious and surprised.

Xie Jincheng lowered his head and stared at her, completely different from the romantic look he had just shown outside. A barely perceptible worry flashed in his deep eyes.

"Only the old man and I know about this elevator. It's just in case. I'll take you out of the secret passage in a moment. Someone will pick you up there and take you to a safe place."

Shen Qianhe's heart suddenly tightened, "Why is it so sudden? Did something happen?"

Xie Jincheng hugged her tighter and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, it's just a little trouble."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Shen Qianhe suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked, "So it wasn't you who asked me to come to the old house today, but someone else stole your phone and sent it, right?"

Xie Jincheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Yes, my phone was swapped."

Shen Qianhe's heart skipped a beat.

"Someone switched it? How could that be? Isn't it possible that the only person who can access your phone besides you is Assistant Zhou? Could it be... Assistant Zhou?"

Even she knew that Zhou Li was Xie Jincheng's most trusted personal assistant.

He was in charge of all company secrets and some secret work. If Zhou Li was someone's spy planted next to Xie Jincheng...

Shen Qianhe didn't dare to think further.

Xie Jincheng listened to Shen Qianhe's reasoning with a stern look in his eyes, "It's not him."

"That's good!"

Shen Qianhe let out a long sigh, and his tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

But she immediately had another question, "But why did the person who stole your phone ask me to come to the old house?"

Xie Jincheng didn't respond, and Shen Qianhe analyzed on his own, "It can't be that you want me to meet Fu Huaizhi, right?"

If this was the only reason, there would be no need to go to so much trouble to steal Xie Jincheng's phone.

Looking at Xie Jincheng's slightly serious face, a guess that he was unwilling to face emerged.

That person wanted to use her to threaten Xie Jincheng.

Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and her fingertips unconsciously grasped his collar.

"Something's going to happen at the old house today, isn't it?"

"Ah."

Hearing this answer, Shen Qianhe almost laughed bitterly.

What a sin!

They had just escaped from a den of tigers and wolves!

How come we can't even have a single day of peace and we have to be so worried again?

"What's going to happen? Is it dangerous? Can you handle it by yourself? Is there anyone to help you?"

Shen Qianhe's voice was trembling, and he asked questions one after another like a rapid-fire machine gun.

Xie Jincheng looked at her clear eyes that were about to overflow with tears, and his Adam's apple rolled gently: "Don't worry, I will protect myself. You wait for me to pick you up in Gangcheng, okay?"

"Not good! Not good at all!"

Shen Qianhe's voice was heavily nasal, and the tip of her small nose wrinkled slightly, as if she was about to cry out in the next second.

"Are you doing this because of the agreement you made with your father and brother? How about this, I'll help you talk to your father and brother and tell them that the agreement is no longer valid! Come with me, okay?"

Xie Jincheng's heart suddenly tightened.

He recalled the rainy night in Menlai when she curled up in his arms, trembling all over.

She was so fragile and helpless at that time.

"Chizuru..."

He called her softly, with barely perceptible pain in his voice.

"Thank you Jincheng."

Her voice suddenly softened, with a cautious plea, "Will you come with me? Let's go to Hong Kong City to live together, okay? I just want you to be well! I just want you!"

After the kidnapping of Meng Lai, Shen Qianhe was disgusted with this kind of life where he was walking on the edge of a knife.

She longed for a stable happiness.

She longs to have a stable home in this world that can shelter her and the people she loves, where they can spend a happy and ordinary life.

Xie Jincheng's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something.

In the past, he was like a lone wolf. The reason why he was able to kill decisively was because he thought that apart from hatred, there was nothing else in this world worth worrying about.

But ever since Shen Qianhe came into his life, he has had a soft spot.

Xie Jincheng lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead, and the touch warmed her heart.

His breath sprayed on her ears, bringing a bit of warmth and soothing.

"Be good, I swear, once this matter is completely resolved, we will never separate again."

Shen Qianhe's eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She tightly grasped Xie Jincheng's suit jacket, her fingertips turning white, as if she could retain something in this way.

Anything they say about never being apart is fake.

Nothing lasts forever.

What she wants is the present, every minute and every second that she can hold tightly...

It is the present moment that can be grasped!

She didn't want to be separated.

But reality is always cruel.

From Xie Jincheng's eyes, she could see his determination to make this trip.

"Qianhe, you know, there are some things that must be settled by me personally."

Shen Qianhe took a deep breath.

She understood what he was trying to accomplish.

His mother's death left him with a huge shadow, and an assassination attempt within the family a few years ago almost cost him his reputation.

To Xie Jincheng, this huge Xie family mansion was just a cannibalistic den that looked splendid on the outside.

Shen Qianhe stopped persuading her.

But I have to separate from Xie Jincheng again.

How long will we be apart this time?

Will Xie Jincheng be in danger?

For a moment, she felt that Xie Jincheng was actually having a hard time.

Although he seems to be a billionaire president with a glamorous appearance, he actually spends every day in the midst of swords and spears. If he is not careful, his life may be in danger.

She leaned against his chest silently, smelling the familiar cedar scent on him, and said to herself: "When this is over, can you give me an island?"

Xie Jincheng was slightly startled, then laughed: "Okay."

His fingertips gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "What kind of island do you want?"

"I want to be able to see the sunrise."

Her voice became lighter, "There must be coconut trees and white sand beaches, and a small wooden house..."

She closed her eyes and made a silent wish in her heart:

By then, we will live in seclusion on the island, watching the sunrise and sunset every day, and living an ordinary but happy life, just like dad and mom...

Xie Jincheng looked down at her trembling eyelashes, his Adam's apple rolling gently: "Okay, whatever you say."
