Chapter 8 I Am Not Telling You

Qi Chenjue let out his laugh. He tilted Muqing's pale chin with his finger and said with a smile, “Ms. Xia, there's countless women that're coveting after a one-night stand with me. But you are the first person that has actually done so!” His salacious speech gave Muqing a fright as she stepped backwards with an ashen face. The music stopped at that moment. Thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall. Muqing stared startlingly at that bewitching and dangerous man in front of her. But he kept his usual smile and stepped forward to move closer to her. He clasped her petite and pale face, and placed a soft kiss on her slightly parted red lips without any warning. “Ah...” Everyone that witnessed the kiss gasped. Chenjue pulled away with her unique scent still lingering on his lips, he looked at her with his pensive eyes and said, “Xia Muqing, before you become my servant, do take good care and preserve your virginity for me, and know that one day I will have you writhe in pleasure beneath me while calling me your 'master'......” He walked off the dance floor elegantly after he spoke, leaving only a dazed and stunned Muqing on the dance floor. “Babe, you're amazing!” Jin Xiaolu rushed forward onto the dance floor excitedly and pulled Muqing into a bear hug. “I knew you'll never disappoint me! You'll be the brightest star in the entertainment field in no time. If you're able to charm even the young master from the Qi family, conquering the entertainment field would be a small feat in comparison!” Muqing was obviously caught in a trance, her brief dance with Qi Chenjue seemed to have drained her body and soul as she could not muster any strength. “Xiaolu, I'm a little tired....” Muqing said as she silently left the dance floor. She could not erase the fear imprinted on her by Chenjue's words. She could still taste his lingering scent on her lips...He's the epitome of indifference and coolness. The trip to Japan was like a nightmare for Muqing. After that day, Qi Chenjue's bewitching face would pop up in Muqing's mind from time to time, his final words to her before they parted ways never failed to send chills down her spine whenever she thought of him. But what Muqing never expected was that another nightmare was waiting for her when she returned to the country. Muqing dragged her heavy luggage and stood before the door to her house and pressed on the keypad to unlock the door. She entered the passcode once, twice, thrice, then multiple times after that. Muqing entered the same combination again and again in disbelief. But the same automated message was heard every single time. “You've entered the wrong password...” Muqing was speechless. How did this happen? Did Xie Tiansheng change the security combination on his own accord? Muqing was upset and mad at the same time. She quickly took out her phone and dialed that man's number with trembling hands. But the call to Xie Tiansheng's number was automatically redirected to his assistant's cellphone. “Where is he?” Muqing spoke in a cold tone. Her voice trembled a little. “I'm sorry, Ms. Xia. Chairman Xie mentioned that he'll be very busy lately, so he's not free to answer your calls.” Will you look at that? Even his assistant is walking all over me now! “Tell him to answer the phone-” Muqing yelled angrily into the speaker. Xie Tiansheng's assistant, Mr. Li was startled by Muqing's sudden outrage, he had never seen her acting so mad in the past, Mr. Li recalled that Muqing had always remained obedient and compliant even when she was mistreated by Xie Tiansheng. “Please... please wait for a moment...” Mr. Li handed the phone to Xie Tiansheng that was busy flipping through some documents. “Chairman, it's Ms. Xia, you... you should take this call.” Xie Tiansheng raised his gaze and frowned at Mr. Li after the assistant spoke. He said coolly, “Why did I hire you if you're so incompetent in dealing with such an insignificant task?” “No, it's not that...” Mr. Li's face turned pale. “Chairman Xie, I've been working as your assistant for over 2 years now, so can you please forgive me....” Xie Tiansheng glared at Mr. Li and took the phone from him and said, “Get out of this room for now.” “Yes... Yes!” Mr. Li left the chairman's office nervously. “What's the matter?” Xie Tiansheng was not pleased. Muqing took a deep breath to suppress her anger. “Xie Tiansheng, did you change the security combination?” “Yes.” Xie Tiansheng sneered. He leaned backwards onto his seat lazily and raised his brows provocatively. “Why? Is there a problem with that?” “What's the password?” Muqing asked that man with an aching heart. “I'm not telling you.” I knew it! I knew that he'd reply to me with that! Muqing squeezed the phone tightly, she felt her heart throbbing painfully as she gasped for air. Xie Tiansheng, must you really push me to the brink of despair and desperation before you'll stop these humiliating and taunting acts? “What's the password....” Muqing asked Tiansheng again in a trembling voice.
