Chapter 51: Protection
1755 Words
Xiao Mi said she wanted to make me happy. I don't know what she means by happiness. In my eyes, the happiness she can give me is merely physical. Xiao Mi walked into the bedroom, and I couldn't help but wonder what she was doing in there.
But soon there was an answer; she changed into a new outfit, a pure outfit. I looked at Xiao Mi and felt a bit uncontrollable.
Xiao Mi changed into a very pure outfit, a pure white short-sleeve shirt with a slim, straight-cut design that gives it a very stylish look. The hem features a tassel design, adding a lot of personality. The comfortable pure cotton fabric, fresh colors, and bold print patterns make it very eye-catching.She looks just like a girl under eighteen, which is quite alarming.
Xiao Mi walked towards me with a smile, gently picked up a handful of money from the ground, sprinkled it on my face, and then happily spun in place. That feeling, like a beautiful girl under flower petals, made me forget the troubles in my heart.
"You're amazing, earning so much money. You're really my useful big brother. Come on, come on..."
Xiao Mi exaggeratedly reached out to me, cheerfully inviting me. I knew this was an illusion, her performance. I knew Xiao Mi's true nature, but I couldn't help but stand up, grab her hand, and pull her over.
I held her in my arms, kissed her on the cheek, and then on her moist lips. I don't know how long this kiss lasted, but it was until I could barely breathe.
But Xiao Mi, breathing heavily, suddenly pushed my hand away, then stepped back and stared at me, her eyes showing a look of fear, as if she were a neighbor girl being bullied. This made my heart race even more. I don't know why, but at that moment, I felt even more like wanting to have her.
"Don't..." After Xiaomi shyly tidied up her clothes, she lowered her head, her face flushed, and said to me.
"Why are you... blushing?" I said with a smile, taking a step forward.
"I don't want to, okay? Don't go too far..." Xiao Mi said shyly, lowering her head.
I noticed that Xiao Mi's hands were slightly trembling, and her face had turned red like an apple... I realized that she was acting really well. If I were meeting Xiao Mi for the first time and she treated me like this, I would definitely believe it was her first time, but I know it isn't.
"Then, I won't hug you or kiss you anymore, so you won't hate me..." I deliberately said to annoy Xiaomi.
"You just like to bully me, I'm not talking to you anymore!" Xiao Mi said as she sat back down in her chair.
"Yeah! It's my fault..." I said as I walked over to Xiao Mi's side.
"You know... that's enough..." Xiao Mi said nervously, trembling slightly.
I held Xiao Mi's face, gazing deeply into her eyes.
"Is this the happiness you give me?" I suddenly asked.
"Um..." Xiao Mi looked at me with wide eyes in surprise.
That kind of gaze was very pure, without a trace of ulterior motives, just wanting me to be happy. I'm not a person who hesitates. I know Xiao Mi doesn't need to please me, but she was willing to do something she found disgusting just to make me happy. I know she didn't want to pretend to be innocent, but she also knew that I wouldn't easily be satisfied with just being happy, so she wore that outfit to seduce me, to make me forget everything.
I hugged Xiaomi from behind again, kissing her smooth, delicate neck. Besides her enchanting fragrance, her figure and clothes made me unable to resist falling into the trap once more...
Nightmare, nightmare that won't go away...
The sound of the fan spinning faintly echoed in my mind, a face lingered in front of my eyes, and suddenly, I saw Fat Pig Zhu. He appeared at the happiest moment of my sweet dream. I suddenly opened my eyes, looked at the fan on the ceiling, and I knew it was just a dream.
I swallowed hard, looking at the empty bed beside me. I searched around for her figure; last night, she had given me endless surprises and joy.
She was sitting in front of the mirror putting on makeup, and when she saw that I was awake, she said, "Feeling relaxed?"
I sat up, put on my clothes, and she also put on the revealing outfit she wore when we first met. I said, "Thank you."
She stood up and said, "It's a hundred thousand. Are you willing to pay?"
I held her chin and said, "Letting go, it's worth it..."
I looked at the neatly arranged bundles of money on the table, all organized by Xiao Mi. She said, "Fat Pig Zhu is dead, and the territory will be re-divided. I want you to negotiate in front of Qian Guang and see if you can get a piece of Fat Pig Zhu's territory."
After hearing that, I felt a bit disgusted. I have no intention of getting involved in the underworld, and I wouldn't want to, but this is what Xiao Mi needs. She brings me joy and fulfills all my needs. If she wants something, I will give it to her.
I said, "Got it, you don't want Qian Lao to get a share of the territory, do you?"
Xiao Mi said, "Qian Guang doesn't like his younger brother. I know that this time, Fat Pig Zhu's territory is very large. Dozens of bars and entertainment venues in the entire western region will be vacated. Whoever gets them will have a big advantage. Qian Lao Wu can't get them. Qian Guang won't allow his ambitious younger brother to rise to power this time. So, you are the most suitable. He will give it to you."
I nodded, and she came over to hug me, her eyes filled with deep affection and contentment. She said, "Darling, we are just friends with benefits. Don't fall in love with me. We are just fulfilling each other's needs. Don't have any extra thoughts."
I looked at Xiao Mi; she was very clear. I didn't know why she emphasized these points, but I understood. I nodded, took the money, left a bag of money for her—at least a hundred thousand. She didn't refuse either.
We went our separate ways. I went to the bank and deposited the money. I felt a bit lost on the street, but I didn't dare go there. I knew many people were looking for me, and if they found me, I would be dead for sure. Fei Zhu Zhu and the other three people with Qi Ye had a good relationship, so they would definitely avenge Fei Zhu Zhu.
I sat silently on the bank's bench. This road is too dangerous. Although Qian Guang said he would protect me, at this moment, I feel that relying on others is not as good as relying on myself. Xiao Mi is right; it's time for me to develop my own power. But I want to be the one behind the scenes; being in the spotlight is the most dangerous.
Suddenly, my phone rang. I didn't expect it to be Malan's call. I really didn't think she would call me at this time. Remembering the flirtatious Malan, I answered.
"Are you there?"
Malan asked me directly, and I said, "You don't need to know."
"Ha, you really have guts. I knew you weren't an ordinary person. You and Qian Guang took down Fat Pig Zhu, and I divorced him because of you, right?" Malan asked me.
Although what he said was true, I wouldn't admit it. I said, "I don't know what you're talking about, he committed suicide."
"Oh, whether you admit it or not, I have to thank you. This beast, if it weren't for our marriage, I would have killed him long ago. When I was eighteen, he drugged me and got me pregnant. I had no choice but to marry him, but I had an abortion. After we got married, I kept an eye on him, making sure he couldn't play around with other women, locking him down. But every day, I wish he would get hit by a car..."
Listening to Malan's words, it didn't sound like a lie, but I still wouldn't admit it.
"Where are you? Right now, Chen Xi and Liu Qiang, the skinny monkey, are all looking for you. Do you know how serious this situation is? Fat Pig Zhu borrowed over ten million from them and just died mysteriously. You and Qian Guang need to come out and explain. Come find me, you and me, I guarantee no one will dare to touch you," Ma Lan said.
I smiled and said, "No need, thank you..."
I hung up the phone after I finished speaking, but Malan quickly called back. She said, "Zhao Fei, I have a bad temper, don't make me angry. I'm coming to pick you up, otherwise, I'll send you off myself. You choose..."
She spoke very calmly, but I knew she was very angry inside. Qian Guang hasn't contacted me until now, which means he got caught. The incident last night caused a huge commotion, and he might be locked up for over ten days. That's why he had Zhuzi tell me to hide for a while. Ruili isn't big, and if they really want to get rid of me, hiding there wouldn't help. So Malan is the safest place.
I feel very resistant inside. Why do I always have to rely on others to protect me? When will I be able to stop hiding?
I said, "The bank..."
Malan is the daughter of the Seventh Master, and she's also involved in the underworld. If she wants to protect me, no one would dare to touch me. However, it's not easy to ask for such a favor. But to save my life for now, I have no choice but to hide there for a while.
I waited in front of the bank for a long time, and then a BMW stopped. The window rolled down, and I saw Malan inside wearing sunglasses. She looked very cool and said, "Get in."
I didn't hesitate, I got in the car, I knew I had to rely on a woman to protect me.
