Chapter 14.2

Cheng Yao, who was just dizzy and sleepy suddenly sprung out the car like an anxious rabbit.

“Help, help, molestation! There’s a hooligan here!”

When had Qian Heng been treated like that before? With a dark face, he didn’t care about anything else at that moment. He pulled Cheng Yao back who was about to run off and then put his suit jacket on top of her head to wrap her up.

Cheng Yao was still struggling: “Qian Heng, I didn’t expect you to be a beast in human skin! Why are you taking off your clothes?! You want the car to shake???? I will report you to the Lawyers Association!”

Qian Heng could only hug Cheng Yao tightly against him to restrain her movements. He used his hand to cover up her mouth.

“Save…”

“Shut up!”

Qian Heng’s actions were actually very innocent. He took off his clothes only because of his obsession with cleanliness. He wasn’t sure if Cheng Yao had vomited on herself. After thinking about it, he still didn’t want to help her with his own hands and was prepared to use his own coat to wrap her in it, then drag her home.

In the end, what did that action become in the eyes of a drunken Cheng Yao???

Fortunately, Cheng Yao, who was covered in his clothing finally stopped moving after a while. Qian Heng took advantage of that and quickly brought her home.

After returning to a familiar environment, Cheng Yao finally seemed to have decided that she was safe. However, she was still quite guarded against Qian Heng. She curled up on the sofa in Qian Heng’s suit, eyeing him doubtfully.

Qian Heng was too lazy to care about her and opened a bottle of Evian to calm down a little.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yao still thought that Qian Heng had ulterior motives. She stared at Qian Heng for a while, then said in a shocked voice——

“You recruited me into your team. Did you want to take advantage of me?”

Qian Heng couldn’t hold back anymore. He lost his cool and raised his voice, “Do you think I’m blind?!”

Alcohol had made Cheng Yao lose all her rationality. She decided to go all in. She honestly didn’t know what she was even talking about anymore. She just bit the tips of her fingers and giggled: “Am I that ugly? Many people chased after me in college…”

Qian Heng said coldly: “That’s because they have never seen what the world had to offer and were blind.”

“…”

Qian Heng swallowed his anger and stood in front of Cheng Yao condescendingly: “Since you’re like this today, it seems that I would need to fix the water pipe myself but Cheng Yao, you should know that there’s a price to pay for this kind of behaviour…”

However, before he finished his words, Cheng Yao squinted slightly and fell asleep.

“Cheng Yao???”

Had anyone dared to sleep while Partner Qian was talking before?

No one!

Qian Heng hadn’t vented enough, so he leaned down to meet Cheng Yao’s face. “Cheng Yao!”

Cheng Yao slowly opened her eyes in confusion while stuck between the state of being half asleep and half awake. Her vision was greeted by a close up of Qian Heng’s handsome and distorted face. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on her. Right in front of her was his perfectly straight nose.

At that moment, only one thought passed through Cheng Yao’s mind——

She really wanted to know if Qian Heng’s nose was real or fake…

Just when Qian Heng was about to continue to wake Cheng Yao up and let her return to her room. Cheng Yao suddenly stretched out a hand towards him and then, without any warning at all, squeezed his nose. She squeezed the bridge of his nose and as if it was not enough, she squeezed it a second time and then squeezed it several more times from various angles.

Cheng Yao muttered in confusion: “Oh, it won’t fall apart even after being squeezed like this.”

Qian Heng was stiff. No one in his entire life had ever dared to do this or that with his body and here she was pinching his nose. It was akin to indecent acts on Tai Sui’s1 own head!

“It doesn’t seem to be padded.”

“…”

Finally, Qian Heng knew why Cheng Yao had pinched his nose.

“Cheng Yao, get up!”

However, Qian Heng was responded by Cheng Yao snores. After checking the bridge of Qian Heng’s nose, she couldn’t outrun the sleepiness and effects of alcohol and fell asleep without any concerns.

The next day, Cheng Yao woke up early. That night she slept very well but had a few bizarre dreams such as throwing up in Qian Heng’s Bentley and pinching his nose…

Cheng Yao laughed a bit. Maybe it was because she had been enslaved by Qian Heng at work during the day that she was thinking about revenge in her dreams?

As always, when she got up to wash herself, Qian Heng had already left. As a Partner, Qian Heng was extremely dedicated to his work. He was almost always the first to enter the company so Cheng Yao didn’t have many opportunities to see him face to face at home in the morning.

As a result, as soon as Cheng Yao reached her workplace, Tan Ying leaned over and started gossiping: “Did anything happen after Partner Qian sent you home last night?”

“Nope.” Cheng Yao waved her hands. “Nothing happened.”

Tan Ying was just casually asking and then she whispered, “Do you know? Partner Qian was late this morning. I heard the other older colleagues say that this is the first time he’s late in the history of JunHeng.” Tan Ying said and gestured. “And he seems to be in a bad mood. When he entered the large office area this morning, his face was stretched so long. It was like the whole world owed him 25,000RMB.”

Li Minglei who was finishing the case file quickly came over. “I heard that Partner Qian’s Bentley has a problem. He came to the company by subway this morning. I even met him in the subway car. You know how crowded it is in the morning. I felt a little sympathetic when I saw him because he was stuck next to a chubby old aunt. Partner Qian’s face was very dark.”

Tan Ying was curious: “What happened to his Bentley?”

“I heard him chat with Partner Wu. It was dirty and got sent to get washed.”

“…”

She didn’t know what happened but Cheng Yao had a bad premonition. She felt a little bit restless at heart. She could guess that she must have done some bad things…

“And he was really weird today. When I came, I heard him ask Partner Wu, ‘does my nose look like it’s padded?’ Partner Wu didn’t answer the first time so Partner Qian persisted and asked a second time.”

There were only two words in Cheng Yao’s heart at that moment.

‘I’m dead.’

So everything from last night was not a dream, she actually did them all! Not only did she vomit in the boss’ Bentley but she even pinched his nose!!!

Li Minglei continued, “In short, he’s not in a good mood today. Just now I saw him call a client to talk, I don’t know who will have it worse…”

Before Li Minglei could finish speaking, Cheng Yao’s company phone rang.

“Cheng Yao, come to my office.”

Cheng Yao’s heart was unsettled, but she couldn’t escape fate.

She entered Qian Heng’s office whilst trembling. She silently recited Gorky’s “The Song of the Stormy Petrel”2 in her heart. The storm or something, let it be more violent! I am a petrel and I want to fly proudly like black lightning!
