Chapter 18
It Must Have Been Done on Purpose!
Gong Mo looked at him in disbelief. She… She was only instinctively sympathizing with a victim! What did he mean!
Sheng Nanxuan got up from the ground and wiped the corner of his lips with the back of his hand. Upon seeing the blood on it, he licked his teeth, making him look both sinister and alluring.
“As the saying goes, ‘toss a peach and get back a plum.’ It would be impolite of me not to return the favor.”
With that said, Sheng Nanxuan moved close to Sheng Donglin. No one saw how he moved, but Sheng Donglin flew up and hit the ceiling before falling back onto the ground with a heavy thud.
“Ugh…” Sheng Donglin groaned as he held his stomach.
“Donglin!” Su Mo cried as she rushed towards him. His injury seemed to be serious and she turned and screamed at Sheng Nanxuan, “Why did you hit him?”
“This is legitimate self-defense!” Sheng Nanxuan wiped the trail of blood on the corner of his lips with his thumb before turning around and scooping Gong Mo up.
Gong Mo shrieked. “I’m fine.”
Sheng Nanxuan rolled his eyes at her. “Why didn’t you stand up then?”
“…”
Sheng Nanxuan turned around, but Gong Mo shrieked again, “Phone! My phone!”
Sheng Donglin was about to say that she should leave it and that he would buy her a new one, but he didn’t want her to leave anything of hers at Sheng Donglin’s office either, so stil carrying her, he squatted down and let her pick it up herself.
Gong Mo tried to free herself from his grasp, but he tightened his grip and gave her a warning look. Shocked, she only reached her hand out to pick up her phone while remaining in his embrace obediently. A satisfied Sheng Nanxuan carried her out of the office. After walking out of Sheng Industrial Park, the pair entered a car by the roadside.
Gong Mo could finally get out of his embrace and could not help herself but sit further from him. She thought that they had entered what was only a taxi, but she noticed that the interior of the car was extremely luxurious. She had sat in Sheng Donglin’s million-dollar Benz before, but that could not compare to this car!
In the front seats was an average-looking chauffeur and a handsome young man. Startled, she said to Sheng Nanxuan softly, “We’ve gotten into the wrong car.”
“Pfft.” The man in front laughed.
Sheng Nanxuan swept a cold glance at him. The man sat up straight and kept quiet.
Sheng Nanxuan narrowed his eyes satisfactorily and said to Gong Mo, “That’s right. That’s my senior. You can address him as Fang Yang.”
Gong Mo looked at Fang Yang in astonishment.
Fang Yang cast Sheng Nanxuan a blank look before smiling at Gong Mo. “Hello…” To be suddenly transformed into Boss’s senior was a lot of pressure. His pay wouldn’t be docked for taking advantage of Boss like this, right?
The car drove to a bar. After getting out of the car, Gong Mo said, “I’m not going in. I’ll be going home.”
Sheng Nanxuan turned around and rested his arm on the hood, sandwiching her between him and the car. “I took a punch for you, but you’re going to ignore me?”
Gong Mo glared at him wordlessly. He was skilled enough to deliver Sheng Donglin a flying punch, so dodging his attack shouldn’t have been difficult, right? He must have let himself get punched on purpose!
However…
He did save her, in any case. If not for his intervention, she was certain she would still be in Sheng Donglin and Su Mo’s grip.
Gong Mo remembered the video she took as well and decided to tell him all about Sheng Donglin’s schemes. She nodded. “Alright then, I’ll go in…”
Before she could say the words “with you,” Sheng Nanxuan kissed her out of the blue.
Gong Mo’s eyes widened. She wanted to push him away but couldn’t because she was pressed against the car by his body.
“Mmph…” Gong Mo tasted the blood in his mouth and felt even more uncomfortable.
