After putting down her phone, Shang Qingmo turned to look at Shang Qiqi.

“Get up for lunch.”

Shang Qiqi nodded and combed her hair. She asked again, “Why are you back at this time? Isn’t the company busy?”

“Yes.” Shang Qingmo’s gaze landed on the foot of the sofa. She bent down and placed the slippers that she had kicked off casually at her feet. “I’m not busy for the time being.”

Seeing his actions, Shang Qiqi put on her slippers and stood up.

Her lips moved, but in the end, she only replied with an “oh”.

Shang Qingmo stood up and held her hand as they walked towards the dining room.

Shang Qiqi lowered her eyes to look at the two of them holding hands. Her eyelashes trembled slightly and her lips twitched. “How long is it that you’re not busy? What about tomorrow? Can you come back and have lunch with me?”

Shang Qingmo tightened his grip on her hand and walked to the dining room to pull out a chair for her to sit down.

“Sure. Actually, you can accompany me at the company.”

Shang Qiqi paused and looked up to see him sitting opposite her.

His eyes were filled with curiosity and doubt.

Was he worried about her going out?

Thinking of how he had trapped her at home a few days ago and didn’t even let her out of the room, she still had lingering fears.

Besides, could she go out now?

If she appeared outside, would this matter that had just been forgotten by everyone explode again?

She knew that things would not be completely resolved, but what they needed the most now was time.

It gave everyone time to breathe and the company time to recover.

It was best for her to hide now…

Although she would have to take this step sooner or later, she wanted to yearn for such a time now. She wanted to have sex in her dreams and only hoped that this dream would last longer…

Seeing her expression, Shang Qingmo fell silent for two seconds. “I’ll bring you out to play tomorrow night.”

Shang Qiqi’s heart skipped a beat and her hand froze.

“Must I… go out?”

Shang Qingmo looked at her seriously. “You won’t stay at home forever.”

Shang Qiqi stared at him for a long time, her eyes trembling. In the end, she narrowed her eyes and placed the food into her mouth.

“Okay.”

At the Pei family’s hotel.

Dressed in a black V-neck dress, Shang Qiqi sat in the car that stopped slowly. She looked out of the window at the brightly lit hotel with a dazed expression.

Shang Qingmo hadn’t told her where she wanted to bring her to play, but she saw that Shen Fanxing was holding a celebration party today.

When her uncle brought the gown to her, she was almost certain.

Apart from the crowd, many reporters were invited to the celebration party tonight.

Didn’t he think of the consequences of bringing her here tonight?

Shang Qingmo was the first to get out of the car. The reporters guarding the door raised their cameras first. Shang Qiqi looked at the restless and excited crowd and her hands turned pale.

However, Shang Qingmo calmly opened the car door for her and reached out her hand.

Shang Qiqi’s hands turned cold.

As long as he got out of the car…

There was no turning back.

Shang Qingmo wanted to publicize her and turn from a niece to a girlfriend.

He wanted her to live like a normal person, to give her a status and confidence.

She understood, but she was unwilling to let him lose too much because of her.

After waiting for Shang Qiqi’s reaction, Shang Qingmo bent down and held her hand.

Then, he led her out of the car and pulled her into his embrace in front of the reporters who had already rushed forward.

It was the possessiveness of a man towards a woman.

Shang Qiqi lowered her head instinctively, not daring to face the camera.

Shang Qingmo hugged her tighter. “Don’t be afraid. Just stay by my side. No one will dare to do anything to you.”

Under the escort of security, the two of them entered the hotel unimpeded.

In the banquet hall, celebrities gathered, drinking and chatting. On the surface, they looked friendly and peaceful.

When Shang Qingmo brought Shang Qiqi in, the noisy banquet hall fell silent.

Along the way, Shang Qiqi had done countless psychological cues.

But facing such a scene, she couldn’t help but feel her heart turn cold.

They were in the wrong after all.

It was indeed wrong.

There was not much hope left in his heart.

After a while, the atmosphere in the banquet hall returned to normal.

Chi Yaoyao walked towards them and held Shang Qiqi’s arm happily.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I was worried that you wouldn’t come.”

Shang Qiqi smiled. She was right to be worried.

Unless she had no choice, she wouldn’t have come.

Shen Fanxing was entertaining guests elsewhere. When she reached Shang Qiqi, she handed her a plate of snacks.

“Eat something to fill your stomach first.”

Shang Qiqi took it and remained standing.

Shen Fanxing looked up at Shang Qingmo and said, “The entire team is waiting for you. You won’t be free tonight. I’ll keep an eye on Qiqi for you.”

Shang Qingmo frowned. “There’s no hurry. I’ll bring her along after she’s done eating.”

“Uncle,” Shang Qiqi interrupted him, “I’m fine. Go and do your work.”

Chi Yaoyao held her arm and leaned against Shang Qiqi. “We women have our own things to say. Isn’t it inappropriate for a man like you to be here?”

Shang Qingmo trusted these women, especially Shen Fanxing.

“You’d better watch over her.”

Chi Yaoyao pouted and muttered softly, “Why didn’t you go earlier?”

Shang Qingmo pretended not to hear.

After he left, Shen Fanxing brought Shang Qiqi to the seat beside her and sat down.

Chi Yaoyao couldn’t hide her excitement. “Although the chances are slim, I’m really afraid that your uncle will bring Song Yunshu over tonight. He did a good deed.”

Shang Qiqi ate the snacks slowly. When she heard that, the corners of her lips twitched.

“Sister Yaoyao, is it true that Uncle brought me here tonight?”

Chi Yaoyao paused. “…I shouldn’t have brought you along. Should I have brought Song Yunshu along?”

Shang Qiqi fiddled with the snacks on her plate. “No matter who he brings, as long as it’s not me, our relationship has already hurt many people. In the eyes of others, we…”

Chi Yaoyao pursed her lips and snorted. “I don’t care. I have double standards. Whatever you do is right. I’ll beat up whoever dares to criticize you!”

Shang Qiqi’s heart warmed and tears welled up in her eyes.

She took a bite of the snack and suppressed the bitterness in her throat.

She probably didn’t have the fortune to have such a good sister…

Shen Fanxing sat opposite her and looked at her calmly.

“You don’t have to blame yourself. You can push all the blame to your uncle for the harm this incident has caused to others.”

Shang Qiqi looked at Shen Fanxing in surprise.

Shen Fanxing smiled faintly and said, “I’m used to solving my own problems. I’ve changed a lot in the past few years. Since I’ve confirmed that I love him, I have to believe that he’s trustworthy and reliable. No man would want to wrong his woman in all aspects, even if it’s just their pride.”

Shang Qiqi stared at her blankly.

Shen Fanxing didn’t say anything else.

She understood the logic, but once it landed on her, it would be a different story.

If it were her, she wouldn’t be able to watch idly as Ah Chuan was imprisoned.

She couldn’t bear to see Ah Chuan in a bad state.

The topic that was gradually forgotten rushed up as expected.
