The man was clad in a black robe, his head covered by a hooded cloak, revealing only a pale, sharp chin and a slightly upturned red lip.
Xu Qian was stunned!
Why was Song Xiaoping here?
She clearly...
Right, she had been busy all day. Aside from a glance in the morning, she hadn't had time to track his location in the afternoon.
The man's figure flickered, and he was already in front of Xu Qian.
Xu Qian wanted to run, but her body felt as if it were frozen, incapable of movement.
The man gently grasped her shoulders and bent down.
They were extremely close, and Xu Qian could even see the purplish-black eyes hidden beneath the hood.
A flame ignited in those eyes, seeming as if it would consume her.
"Qian, I found you."
Xu Qian: ...
For a moment, she didn't know what to say; it was a complete mess.
She had tried to hide, but she couldn't escape.
Suddenly, Xu Qian let out a soft giggle.
Her eyes curved, as if the surprise of that moment was an illusion.
"Commander Song, long time no see."
The man's lips curved slightly, his palms slid down, and he gripped her waist.
She didn't have the slightest room to resist.
It had to be said, Song Xiaoping's abilities were indeed stronger than his.
Like Guan Weiyun, he couldn't win a direct confrontation.
"Xu Qian, come with me obediently."
Xu Qian stepped forward, wrapping her arms around his neck, and tilted her head slightly.
She smiled and said, "Okay."
Her radiant face was like a poison, piercing his heart.
Song Xiaoping bent down, swept her up into his arms, and effortlessly bypassed the villa area.
Even Su Chen, lurking in the shadows, and Xiao Hei, pacing in the living room, didn't notice.
Xu Qian leaned obediently against his chest, motionless, allowing the man to take her away.
The man's helicopter was parked just outside Hope Base. Before the cabin door was even fully closed, they boarded, and the aircraft quickly took off.
Song Xiaoping said nothing, tossing her onto the bed in the inner cabin.
The bed was soft and didn't hurt.
It was just... the dark aura emanating from the man threatened to engulf her entirely.
He pulled down his hood, revealing brown hair, fair skin, and red lips – as handsome as ever.
He unfastened his black robe, revealing a thin, black garment of the same color underneath, made of a comfortable fabric that accentuated his well-defined physique.
The man's figure flickered, and he grabbed her by the throat, pinning her limbs firmly to the bed.
Even as the helicopter pitched and swayed, he remained unmoving.
His voice was icy, "Xu Qian, I am willing to find you a man, but that doesn't mean you can find one yourself."
Xu Qian's expression relaxed, her eyes narrowing slightly.
She was a zombie; being choked didn't cause suffocation, just discomfort.
However, was Song Xiaoping's information that swift?
He knew about her and Guan Weiyun.
The young woman paused for a moment, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said softly, "Why can't I?"
"Song Xiaoping, didn't I become like this because of you?"
Song Xiaoping's purple eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "You're blaming me."
Xu Qian let out a cold laugh, "What do you think?"
Song Xiaoping's lips pressed together tightly, and after a long while, he managed to utter a few words.
"This is no excuse." He released her neck and sat up beside her.
Xu Qian slowly sat up, leaning lazily against the headboard.
Song Xiaoping was the leader of the X Group, the world's antagonist.
It was impossible to offend him, but going along with him didn't sit well with her either.
His favorability had stabilized. The most important thing now was to win over Guan Weiyun, not waste time here with him.
However, if this person wasn't appeased, serious trouble could arise.
Perhaps she could even use him to increase Guan Weiyun's favorability.
Xu Qian gently kicked him.
She gave him a cold glance and said sternly, "What exactly do you want?"
