Chapter 004: Save you once, exchange for a day for me

Qian Shaohuang did not respond. He lowered his head, and his gaze fell upon the woman's fingers wrapped around his waist. The fair, translucent, pink fingers resembled peeled scallions, each one gripping his clothing tightly, like a drowning person clinging to the only piece of driftwood for salvation

Iron Hand

After staring at her meaningfully for a few seconds, Young Master Quan suddenly grasped her chin and forcefully lifted it upward, compelling her to meet his gaze. He uttered a few words with an utterly wicked tone

The overly affectionate term "baby" from the man above her suddenly made her already flushed face turn as red as a monkey's bottom

You ... ...

Did you forget what I said

Stop!

Younger brother, I will not have hot pot. I can rest assured leaving Xiao Zhan to you! Farewell!

Sun Ershou, who was clearly provoked by someone's words, became even more confused

What do you mean?

I can help you, but I have conditions

The line of sight has become slightly blurred

Save you once, exchange for a day.

Does she still want to confuse others and pretend to be foolish?

The scenery outside the window is clearly distant from the city

boiling water, the spicy peppers of hot pot, piercing pain

The man's sinister expression at the corners of his eyes faded, and he smiled unusually. He released the hand that was wrapped around her waist, turned around to brush aside the hair that covered her ears, and deliberately adjusted the black-framed glasses on her face, his gaze deep and complex as he stared at her

Her aggrieved shriek had not yet faded when a crowd of people disintegrated in the corridor

Please let Sun Ershou eat hot pot? Zhan Se does not understand

Unexpectedly, she recalled her assessment of him—the post-Jurassic era when all animals had become extinct

Seeing that Quan Shaohuang had no further actions, Sun Ershou felt considerably more relaxed. Through the thick rising steam of the hot pot broth, he looked at Zhan Se, who was leaning against Quan Shaohuang with a charming expression, and said with a beaming smile

Just as the two of them were in a stalemate over this matter, Sun Ershou, who was nearby and had a strong sense of authority along with having consumed quite a bit of alcohol, could no longer hold back. After a brief hesitation, he stepped forward and extended his hand.

In a single sentence, he spoke politely, with a sense of decorum, downplaying the matter without any display of joy or anger

A slight shock ran through her heart, and she cleared her throat, tilting her head up to ask a question, only to meet a pair of dark, sinister black eyes that made her heart race with fear.

However, even though he was filled with anger, he had no way to vent it. Prior to this, he had never seen Quan Shaohuang and had no idea which deity he was associated with. Nevertheless, even the most foolish person could discern something from the high level of security surrounding him—he was a tough opponent that one should not provoke

Ahーー ! ''

Before succumbing to the dark chaos, she felt her body fall into the embrace of the man

Her heart is about to burn out

Qian Shaohuang raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, while she, puzzled, stared blankly upwards

Ah—Fourth Master, spare me—

After the two words "cold and chilling" were spoken, when Sun Er's pale and frightened face turned back, Quan Shaohuang's face was once again filled with a smile. He wrapped his arm around and firmly pulled Zhan Se into his embrace, saying, "Just for the way you care for my woman, you must treat us to this hot pot."

Neglecting the feelings of others, she weakly leaned her body against the man's back, her voice lowered as she added two more words.

The beautiful lady waiting nearby furrowed her brows

Hot pot pig trotters? I have never heard of it

The intimate and ambiguous gestures of a lover, combined with a man's sexy and husky voice, made her body, already feeling like ants were crawling over it, even more disordered. What was even more unbearable was the sensation of fire burning within her, making it more difficult than when she was at Mansion No. 1. A desire that she found shameful to articulate crawled all over her body, scratching at her heart and lungs like tiny insects.

To say it is a vehicle would be an understatement; it is more akin to a mobile mansion, equipped with a variety of amenities that surpass those of an ordinary car by more than one model. The lighting inside the cabin is dim, and within the small halo of light, the man's contemplative profile resembles a finely crafted statue of a deity, sculpted by skilled artisans.

The hot pot is becoming increasingly boiling

What kind of feeling should it be

What do you want to do

Zhan Se truly wanted to crash into him headfirst, but reality was right there, forcing her to yield

Please state the conditions; as long as I am able to fulfill them

Hello, this young man, I am ... ...

As the question fell with a muted tone, a sudden tightness gripped her soft waist. The man's hand, like an iron clamp, pulled her once, then again, and with a powerful tug, her utterly weakened body was completely pressed against his.

Taking a deep breath, her gaze fell upon the corner of his eye

Little brother, I, I do not know that Xiao Zhan is your woman... no, no, no, what I mean is, there is a slight misunderstanding regarding Xiao Zhan and me

One minute later

"Fourth Master, thank you for today’s matter. May I trouble you to take me back now..."

*

The thinking could not continue any longer! The intense visual shock in the private room sent chills down her spine, causing her mind to perform a 360-degree rotation. For a moment, the world spun around her.

I do not understand the thoughts of the surname Quan regarding the matter of color, but I sincerely admire the 'skill' of Sun Ershou, this old lecher, in his cunning arguments

Help me

With half-closed eyes, before Zhan Se could even utter a sound, he was startled by a scream that resembled the wailing of a slaughtered pig

Xiao Zhan, I was genuinely worried about your safety just now. That girl Xiao Du got drunk, so I had the driver take her home first. But I can't just leave you alone, can I? I have to wait for the driver to come back to pick you up...

What conditions would such a man have to help her

Good

The cries are utterly heartbreaking

No, I just want to go home, my head hurts a little

Ah—four, four, four, four—!

The glasses are very ugly! I almost didn't recognize them

Yet at the same time, he lowered his head, leaned closer to her face, and with a flick of his index finger, slid the large black-framed glasses from the bridge of her nose to the sides of her nose

What?

The beauty was momentarily taken aback, smiled, shrugged her shoulders, and left

Where is this going?

With a slight furrow of his brow, his voice was as cold as a frigid pool, "I have conditions"

Looking at the large beads of sweat on Sun Er's forehead, the mouth crying out in pain, and the twisted, hideous expression on his face... all the hairs on her body stood on end, and the uncontrollable stomach acid surged upward.

Above the head, a gaze as sinister as the claws of a wild beast loomed, excessively chilling

Suddenly, their eyes met, and she felt a bit embarrassed

The color is astonishing!

Sun Ershou, feeling anxious in his heart, listened in confusion and smiled, saying, "Whatever... you are truly too polite, my dear brother..."

Having lived for twenty-five years, she had never witnessed such a horrifying scene. She saw the expressionless iron hand gripping Sun Ershou's 'pig trotter' that was holding chopsticks, pressing it into the boiling hot pot broth without even blinking.

It seems she recognized her long ago, and even took the opportunity to strike her when she was down, seeking revenge for a past grievance

Lord Quan, this man is quite terrifying

What the hell is four, can you even call it a four-letter word? The man suddenly erupted in anger, throwing a soy sauce bowl that just happened to land in the hot pot, splashing Sun Ershou's face with spots.

After about ten minutes, a meticulously crafted metal hot pot set was brought to the table, which had also been replaced with a hot pot-specific table equipped with a stove. The speed of service was astonishing. In this world, having money is the ultimate power; regardless of whether it is Sichuan, Cantonese, Shandong, Suzhou, or Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, or Anhui, whatever one wishes to eat can be obtained with just a beckon.

Isn't she overacting?

heartless bastard

Want to sneak away

Qian Shaohuang raised his hand and forcefully interrupted Sun Er, contrasting sharply with his earlier serious and rigid demeanor. He smiled casually, and on his noble yet aloof face, a strange lightness emerged. "Please, this brother, enjoy hot pot."

Ignoring her expression, the man wore a nonchalant smile and said, "Do you like eating pig's trotters? The hot pot pig's trotters taste quite good"

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the car

The cheeks, flushed with color, were further heated by the alcohol.

With a faint sweep of his hand, Lord Quan Siye smiled and answered the question that was not asked, "Do you prefer the red pot or the yin-yang pot"

Heaven

The man stared at her, his expression a mix of a smile and something else, his demeanor enigmatic and difficult to decipher

Little girl, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world

However, the three words 'my woman' and the ambiguous yet affectionate caress of his palm on my back made my already rapid heartbeat feel as if it had been wound up like a clock, racing beyond measure

From the heavens to the depths, from the mortal realm to hell, the shift in circumstances has occurred far too rapidly, so fast that she was completely unprepared psychologically

On the expressionless face of Quan Shaohuang, which was cold and sinister, he casually waved his hand at her

Just a moment ago, Sun Ershou, who was speaking in an official tone, sat in the private room of Qian Shaohuang with a face pale and green, unsure of where to place his hands, crossing and uncrossing them on his thighs, while beads of sweat trickled down his forehead as if they could alleviate a drought
