After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 232 - 227: I’m very worried about him, do you understand?
Chapter 232: Chapter 227: I’m very worried about him, do you understand?
Qu Rong frantically took off his jacket, stripped off his white T-shirt, and handed it to He Chenxi to cover her wound. "Call 120, I’m going to deal with this scumbag."
As he shoved his unlocked phone into He Chenxi’s hand, he approached Xue Anyu with his fists clenched and ready to fight. He punched him repeatedly, "Scumbag! Coward, a piece of trash who only dares to bully women, even paying compensation is too light for you, not spending a few years in prison, you’ll never learn your lesson."
"Ah! Stop hitting me, it hurts so much, who are you? Are you that slut He Chenxi’s adulterous lover? I knew it, being so heartless to me, it turns out she found someone else, such a flirtatious woman!"
Qu Rong’s expression turned cold and hard as he landed a punch in Xue Anyu’s stomach. "Don’t sully her feelings, you’re not worthy. I hope you won’t regret missing out on such a good girl."
Xue Anyu, beaten to the point of tasting bitter bile, clutched his stomach in agony. He Chenxi, afraid of the consequences, hurried forward to stop him, her eyes red as she choked up, "Stop, getting detained over this kind of person isn’t worth it."
Qu Rong looked at her, stunned, then broke out in a beaming smile, "He Chenxi, are you worried about me?"
He Chenxi pursed her lips tightly, deliberately looking away, "No."
"Oh." Qu Rong stood up, disappointed, then grinned again, "It’s good you’re all right. If I hadn’t been near your house, you could’ve been in trouble today."
"Why were you near my house?" He Chenxi had been avoiding Qu Rong all this time.
The mistake that day was her own carelessness, she had drunk spiked alcohol. Qu Rong had kindly taken her to the hotel, and in her drugged state, she had asked him to stay.
Hearing her question, Qu Rong smiled shyly and somewhat embarrassingly, "Since you’ve been refusing to see me, I had to come find you. Because I like you, I want to court you. I promise I will not be like that scumbag. I’ll always treat you well."
At six feet tall with wheat-colored skin, his features were not particularly handsome, but his eyes were large and bright, with double eyelids. At this moment, his face flushed, he looked like a bashful big boy.
He Chenxi’s gaze briefly swept across his bare upper body. His only advantage was that unlike the slender Xue Anyu, he had a sense of strength, his twitching muscles brimming with power, providing a sense of security.
Having been heartbroken before, He Chenxi didn’t want to start another new relationship. She slightly pursed her lips, "Then why were you at the bar that day?"
If he wasn’t someone who enjoyed partying, why would he show up at such a mixed-up place?
"Huh?" Qu Rong clearly hadn’t expected her to ask this, "To drink alcohol, what else is there to do at a bar?"
"That’s it?"
"Yes, that’s it."
He paused, then continued, "It doesn’t matter if you reject me; I’m used to being turned down. Sometimes, with girls I get along with, I give them gifts, but after they receive them, they cut contact. I don’t understand why that happens."
He Chenxi: "..."
What else could it be but being played?
Even so, he hadn’t gone to trouble those women, which showed he had great patience.
But still...
He Chenxi frowned, "You have many women?"
"No, no." Qu Rong denied in a fluster, "I only have you."
Seeing her frown deepen, he rushed to clarify, "Officially, only you. That day was my first time... I’ve never touched another woman, Chenxi, I truly like you." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
He Chenxi glanced at him, and inexplicably saw the words "honest person" written across his face.
To tell the truth, that day had been her first time as well...
Although she was a celebrity, her mindset was rather traditional, wanting to save her most beautiful first time for marriage. Perhaps it was because Xue Anyu’s advances were always rebuffed by her that he sought solace elsewhere.
She believed that as long as their love was loyal enough, they could overcome distance and the loneliness of being apart. As long as their hearts remained close, it would suffice.
He Chenxi felt a great turmoil within her and said, bowing her head, "I, I need to think things over. My mind is in chaos, I can’t give you an answer right now."
"Sister Chenxi."
Just then, Ji Tian arrived not far away. She turned and quickly left the area, also dodging Qu Rong’s question.
"Tiantian."
"Are you okay?" Ji Tian saw the bloody cotton T-shirt in her hand, the flesh on her neck turned over. Had it been any deeper, it would have hit the carotid artery, and not even a miracle could save her from excessive blood loss.
"Quick, on to the ambulance, we’re going to the hospital."
The ambulance and the police car arrived simultaneously. Xue Anyu was unconscious on the ground, and in response to police questioning, Qu Rong replied calmly, "He got despondent and insisted on running into the wall; I couldn’t stop him."
The police officer: "..."
Was he blind?
Who runs into a wall clutching their stomach?
But he pretended not to see it; as long as the person wasn’t dead, that was fine. He led the man to the police car with a stern face and took him back to the station for further questioning.
He Chenxi got into the police car, and Qu Rong followed, only to be stopped by Ji Tian, "What are you doing here?"
Qu Rong was forced to stop, and the fact that Ji Tian was here indicated that Qin Jiangsheng had managed to get her out successfully.
He cleared his throat, "I saved her; I am her lifesaver," and then he quickly changed the subject, "Right, where is the Second Young Master? Didn’t he come with you?"
As the ambulance drove away with He Chenxi, a trace of loss flashed in Qu Rong’s eyes. Had it not been for Ji Tian blocking the way, he would have followed right after.
Ji Tian crossed her arms. She was in fact looking for Qu Rong, so she asked with raised eyebrows, "I was going to ask you the same thing. Can you get in touch with him?"
"Ah? How would I contact him, he fired me. The young master is probably at home. You should go to the Bai Family and look for him..."
She scoffed, "Still pretending? Your relationship with Qin Jiangsheng seems more than that of a simple young master and driver. You work for Hei City too, don’t you?"
Qu Rong was startled, cold sweat almost breaking out. He pretended to be calm and replied with a chuckle, "What’s this Hei City? It doesn’t sound like a good place at all. I’m a law-abiding citizen, just a driver."
"Hmph," Ji Tian huffed, "Qin Jiangsheng has told me everything; I know it all."
"What? How could that be? Young Master Qin would never reveal his background to you," blurted out Qu Rong instinctively, instantly realizing his slip-up and quickly covering his mouth.
Ji Tian took a deep breath, "I’m not stupid. Why he appeared in Hei City to get me out, how he’s so familiar with Mo Jiu and Hei City... he’s told me all of it. I don’t want to concern myself with what you guys do behind the scenes right now; all I want to know is if he’s safe."
She paused, her heart entwined in conflict for a moment before she resignedly sighed, "I’m really worried about him, do you understand?"
Qu Rong was momentarily stunned and then broke into a smile, "I thought his feelings for you were one-sided; who knew it was mutual affection?"
Ji Tian’s face flushed, and she glared at him, "Now, immediately, contact him!"
"All right, all right, the two of you are really high maintenance. My Chenchen is all alone in the hospital, she needs me." Qu Rong muttered as he took out his phone to contact Qin Jiangsheng.
