Chapter 1261 - Pushing Her Against the Wall
Chapter 1261: Pushing Her Against the Wall
They were standing close and Cen Xi just noticed that his hair was shorter than before. His facial features were even more beautiful and well-defined.
Cen Xi was on guard against the man in front of her as if she was facing an enemy. At the same time, she glanced at the bodyguard who was coming over from the corner of her eye.
She did not notice the gaze of the man in front of her.
He did not know if it was because he had not had a woman for some time, but his throat felt slightly dry when he looked at the woman in front of him who was in a black leather jacket and a long organza dress.
Makeup adorned her pretty face. Her eyebrows were slender, her lips red and looked like ripe cherries.
That bodyguard came close to Qiao Yanze and Cen Xi. The bodyguard did not know Cen Xi, but it was impossible for him not to recognize Qiao Yanze.
The Queen’s uncle.
The bodyguard dared not go forward to ask anything. Seeing that they were in an intimate position, he left.
Cen Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the bodyguard had left. Thinking of Gu Meng who was still competing, Cen Xi wanted to push away the man in front of her.
But the man reached out the hand that was holding the cigarette towards her waist.
Like this, Cen Xi was trapped between his arms and the wall, there was no way for her to move back.
Her heart was full of confusion and panic.
What did he want to do?
Push her against the wall?
Although he had hurt her so much that she did not want to talk to him again, it was a lie to say that she did not feel anything for him with them being pressed against so closely to each other. She was still an inexperienced young woman and was a long way from a wily old fox.
Besides, the man in front of her had moved her heart before. He exceeded normal standards and his actions were incredibly charming.
They stared into each other’s eyes for some time and it was Cen Xi who was at a disadvantage.
Her charming face turned tense and she tried to calm herself down. “Young Master Qiao, why are you pressing against me? Don’t you think it’s very ungentlemanly?”
Qiao Yanze did not move and his dark eyes were like an x-ray, staring fixedly at her. “You’re interested in the Third Prince?”
What?!
When did he see her being interested in the Third Prince?
She snapped out of her daze quickly, a smile on her face. “It’s my own business whether I’m interested in the Third Prince or not. Does it have anything to do with Young Master Qiao?”
Before, she had endured him. When he said east she would not go west because she felt guilty towards him and wanted to make up for it as much as possible. But it did not mean that she had no thorns on her body, she had only hidden them.
Qiao Yanze’s handsome face tensed up and the surrounding air turned cold and oppressive. Cen Xi dared not stay with him any longer and she shouted, “Young Master Tang, you’re here.”
Qiao Yanze looked towards the entrance of the auditorium. In a moment, his toes were stepped hard and then his tall body was pushed away. The slender body of the woman disappeared in front of his eyes like wisps of smoke.
Qiao Yanze stood on the spot, lighting a cigarette and holding it in between his fingers, blowing out a breath of smoke. Looking at the direction where she had disappeared towards, his eyes were dark and an unknown smile appeared on his lips.
…
When Cen Xi returned to the spectator seats, there was only one opponent left against Gu Meng. Seeing her exhausted state, that opponent grew braver with a beast-like ferocity in his eyes.
Cen Xi’s heart clenched.
After another round of fighting, Gu Meng was knocked to the ground by her opponent.
Cen Xi stood up anxiously, her hands cupping her mouth and she shouted loudly, “Mengmeng, come on! You can do it! Stand up!”
When Gu Meng was knocked to the ground, her head buzzed and there were stars dancing in front of her eyes. Cheers and raucous jeers resounded all through the stadium.
She seemed to hear nothing and there was only the image of him and the woman kissing, hugging, holding hands in her head…
Was there any point in this?
Even if she became his bodyguard, he had a change of heart and liked another woman now. Was there any meaning to what she did?
But… She really missed her Brother Ah Dai. She liked him so much that she did not want to give up even if she were to be killed here.
Yes, she could not give up.
If she gave up, she would never see Brother Ah Dai again.
Gu Meng forced the tears that almost fell out of her eyes back. Just when the audience thought that she could not stand up, she put her hands on the ground and stood up again, as brave and tenacious as ever.
The venue exploded into excitement.
Even Ye Qing was stunned. He did not notice that his gaze had already fallen on that slender figure.
Dressed in a black outfit, she looked handsome and sharp. Although there were bruises covering her face, it did not affect her beauty. It was an inner beauty that was not related to appearance but emanated from deep within her bones.
Clenching her hands into fists, she was not afraid of her opponent who was taller and stronger than her as she threw out a punch.
The punches she threw were faster and more agile than before. She had great strength and everytime she brought down her fist, the opponent would step back a few steps. After several punches, the opponent staggered, spitting out blood and his body fell slowly to the ground.
When the referee came and confirmed that the opponent was unable to stand again, he raised Gu Meng’s hand and announced that she had successfully moved up to the top three.
Gu Meng looked towards the audience and her eyes met with Ye Qing’s dark ones. She lifted the corner of her lips into a bright smile. When Ye Qing looked at her smile, in that moment, he felt that it was even more dazzling than the sun.
When Xue’er saw the girl flirting with Ye Qing in public, she dug her fingers into her palm, her expression slightly distorted.
Where did this girl come from? Did she think that she could move Ah Qing’s heart with just her brute strength? Not while she was here!
…
Although Gu Meng won, she was covered with bruises and wounds all over her body.
Back at the apartment, Cen Xi looked at the bruises on Gu Meng’s body and felt her heart ache. Gu Meng’s skin was fair and even with a faint bruise it would already be obvious, let alone big areas of black and blue and open wounds.
Cen Xi applied medicine whereever Gu Meng was injured and went downstairs to buy groceries. Exhausted, Gu Meng lay on the sofa without any strength left.
The bones of her body seemed to be falling apart, but fortunately, she made a small step forward and became his bodyguard.
Perhaps there would be more difficult things waiting for her in the future, but she was not afraid as she had the memories of the two of them supporting her.
Gu Meng closed her eyes, planning to rest for a while, when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Usually, there was only her and Xiaoxi in the apartment and seldom would there be people ringing the doorbell. Gu Meng thought that Cen Xi had forgotten to bring the keys and she went to the door, opening it.
But as soon as the door was opened, Gu Meng was stunned to see a stream of bodyguards in black and that tall figure standing by the door who was being protected by the bodyguards.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the door was closed by the man outside.
Gu Meng regained her senses. Xiaoxi had applied medicine for her and told her to put her clothes on again later.
She was only wearing a sexy camisole and a pink panty.
