Moweng Jie has been practicing like this for an evening. When the sky began to lighten, Su Xueqing returned to her room.
Moweng Jie muttered to himself, "It's fucking painful, it's like torture!"
Su Xueqing returned to her room, Liu Lulu looked at her with an odd expression and said: So hungry and unbearable? It's just a night, what's the big deal about sneaking out after midnight?
Su Xueqing playfully scolded, "You're envious! Go find someone for yourself; no one is stopping you."
Liu Lulu said, "Xueqing isn't joking with you now. I have to go to work. We can meet again later, but I have a request. You must promise me."
Su Xueqing said, "You don't say what you want, how can I promise you?"
Liu Lulu said, "If my parents want to meet Moweng Jie, you have to let him come over. Of course, in most cases, I would say he's busy and traveling on business. If that's not possible, then I'd have to ask him to come for a visit."
Su Xueqing said, "I can't guarantee it. If he's really out of town on business, there's nothing I can do."
Liu Lulu said, "As long as he's there, have him come over."
Su Xueqing said, "Alright, I promise!"
Liu Lulu said, "I'll go say hello to him and then I have to go to work. See you later."
Su Xueqing said, "Let's go together. We also need to rush back to the new city."
The group said goodbye at the hotel entrance, and Liu Lulu left.
Su Xueqing said, "Let's go!"
Su Xueqing and Moweng Jie returned to the company office.
Su Xueqing said, "Moweng Jie, why don't you rest? Go to my temporary resting room and sleep. I know you didn't sleep last night, so go ahead and rest. Sleeping on the sofa isn't comfortable."
Moweng Jie said, "You didn't sleep well either last night, why don't you take a break in the resting room? I'm fine sleeping on the sofa."
Su Xueqing said, "I still have some work to do, so go ahead and rest in the resting room!"
Moweng Jie said, "That's not good. I'll just go back to my office and sleep on the sofa!"
Su Xueqing said, "Moweng Jie, have you forgotten what you said? I asked you to do something, and you did it. Now I ask you to go to the resting room and sleep."
Moweng Jie said, "Oh! Got it! After saying that, he pushed open the door next to the file cabinet and went to bed."
Su Xueqing raised her corners and began her work.
Moweng Jie walked into Su Xueqing's temporary resting room. The faint fragrance hit him in the face, the simple decoration, and the soft pink tone gave him a warm feeling. Moweng Jie lay on the clean bed, thinking that this bed was really comfortable, much better than his own bed. He decided that when he bought a house in the future, he would definitely buy a bed like this. Thinking of this, he fell asleep.
Su Xueqing was busy until lunchtime. Seeing that Moweng Jie had not woken up yet, she had someone deliver lunch to her office.
Fang Ling saw this scene and felt strange. Su Zongshi had never eaten in the office before. Today was the first time, and she couldn't figure out why she was eating in the office, as well as Moweng Jie, the moron. She shook her head and went downstairs to eat.
Su Xueqing opened the door to the temporary resting room. Moweng Jie had already gotten up and was preparing to go out.
Su Xueqing said, "What a coincidence, I just came in to wake you up for lunch, and you're already up. Wash your face and go eat!"
Moweng Jie said, "I'm not going to wash. All your bathroom supplies are here, and it's not appropriate for me to use them."
Su Xueqing said, "I don't mind you at all. Why do you mind me?"
Moweng Jie said, "I'm not offended by you. I just feel embarrassed using your towels or anything else."
Su Xueqing said, "If you need to use them, then use them. I'll have someone buy some toiletries for you today. From now on, you can rest in there when you're tired, and it will be convenient for you to use them."
Moweng Jie said, "No need for that, it's not good. If someone finds out, they will definitely say that you and I share a bed, which is not good for your reputation."
Su Xueqing said, "What do you care what others say? As long as you can rest well, that's what matters."
Moweng Jie said, "That's not good for your reputation!"
Su Xueqing said, "Do you think being my bodyguard will improve your reputation? As a young man, being a bodyguard for a girl will make others think what? I don't care what others say, and why should you care?"
Moweng Jie said, "It's different. A bodyguard is for close protection, but this is us sleeping in the same bed, it's different."
Su Xueqing said, "Let's eat first!"
After eating lunch in the office, Moweng Jie left Su Xueqing's office and returned to his own office. Just as he was about to sit down, Fang Ling came to his office and said, "Where were you for lunch today, Moweng Jie?"
Moweng Jie said, "Who told you I didn't go to work during lunch? Are you trying to deduct my salary?"
Fang Ling said, "Where were you working for lunch? Why didn't I see you?"
Moweng Jie said, "I was working in Su Zongshi's office!"
Fang Ling said, "Moweng Jie, do you think I didn't go into Su Zongshi's office during lunch? Whether you were in Su Zongshi's office or not, how could I not see you?"
Moweng Jie said, "You can believe it or not, I was in Su Zongshi's office."
Fang Ling said, "Weren't you in Su Zongshi's temporary resting room?"
Moweng Jie said, "Yes, I just slept in there."
Fang Ling said, "Are you and Su Zongshi already involved in that way?"
Moweng Jie said, "What did we do?"
Fang Ling said, "It means what men and women do."
Moweng Jie said, "Men and women did that?"
Fang Ling was angry and said, "Did you sleep with Su Zongshi?"
Moweng Jie said, "Currently, it's not, and in the future, it's unclear."
Fang Ling said, "You both slept in the same bed, and you still want to make excuses."
Moweng Jie said, "What kind of logic is that? Sleeping in the same bed with someone doesn't necessarily mean that they're involved romantically. The beds in hotels are like that for a reason, and it's absurd!"
Fang Ling said, "Moweng Jie, dare you say that you don't like Su Zongshi at all?"
Moweng Jie said, "I admit that I do have a bit of a crush on Su Xueqing, but I haven't gone as far as what you're saying."
As Su Xueqing heard Moweng Jie's words from outside, she felt very happy in her heart. She secretly made a resolution, that she must make him that way. He didn't initiate, so I will initiate for my own future happiness. Why can't girls be the one to initiate? Knowing Moweng Jie's thoughts in his heart, Su Xueqing returned to the office with a burst of happiness.
While Su Xueqing was immersed in happiness, her phone suddenly rang. She took out her mobile phone and saw that it was her father's call. She quickly answered the phone.
Su Zhengshan said, "Xueqing, come home immediately. There's an emergency at home."
Su Xueqing hung up the phone and came to Moweng Jie's office, saying, "Let's go with me."
Su Xueqing and Moweng Jie took a car back home.
Su Xueqing saw that her grandparents had a worried expression on their faces, her mother was crying, and her father was smoking beside them.
Su Xueqing asked, "Dad, what exactly happened?"
Su Zhengshan said, "The embassy of Korea called me just now and said that my son Jiaming and some friends went on a tour to Korea, but they happened to be caught in a war zone by some rebels. The rebels have asked the embassy for money in exchange for their release. They demand that one person must pay 100 million won and that the six of them must pay 600 million won."
Su Xueqing said, "Why don't we just give the money to the embassy and let them ransom them back? That should resolve the matter!"
Su Zhengshan said, "If it were as simple as you say, we wouldn't be so worried. The rebels have specified that only a family member among the six must pay the ransom, otherwise they will kill the ransom giver and increase the ransom fee by double. Now, there is no suitable candidate among the six families. Some people are so scared of going to negotiate with the rebels that they can't even lift their legs. I've been discussing with the other five parents for half a day, but we haven't come up with a solution yet."
Su Xueqing said, "Then let's find someone to replace us. When the time comes, we can say that they are relatives."
Su Zhengshan said, "The rebels have a list of their blood relations and even photos of close relatives. There is no way to get someone to substitute for us."
Su Xueqing said, "What should we do? Is it just going to leave them?"
Su Zhengshan said, "We want to help but can't. Do you think I want to see my son die and turn grey? Moreover, your grandparents can't bear this kind of reality."
Su Xueqing said, "So what should we do now, Dad? You have to find a way to save Jiaming no matter what. We can't lose Jiaming in our family. The future of the Su family depends on him. He can't have anything happen to him. Even if I have to go and take his place, that's fine."
Su Zhengshan said, "Xueqing, if we lose you or Jiaming, we can't bear it. We can't accept either of you to have something happen. So please don't say such silly things."
Su Xueqing said, "Dad, what should we do then? We can't just watch Jiaming get into trouble."
Su Zhengshan said, "If all else fails, it will have to be me who goes to ransom him."
Su Xueqing said, "Dad, it's too dangerous for you to go. If you go, it would be better for me to go instead. If you go and anything happens to you, our entire Su family will collapse. If I go and don't come back, our Su family will still be there because I know you're there."
Su Zhengshan said, "Xueqing, have you thought about this? If either you or your brother were to have an accident, whether our Su family falls or not would be meaningless. It's better for me to go. Even if I were to really have an accident, there's still you in the Su family, and there is still hope for the future of the Su family."
Su Xueqing said, "Dad, I don't think I will necessarily get into trouble if I go."
Su Zhengshan said, "What do you mean by that, Xueqing?"
Su Xueqing said, "If I go, Moweng Jie will definitely accompany me. I know his skills and he will definitely be fine. In self-defense, he might even be able to protect me."
Su Zhengshan said, "Moweng Jie is not a member of our family, so how can he go with you to ransom people?"
Su Xueqing said, "Moweng Jie is my boyfriend. Why can't he accompany me to ransom people?"
Su Zhengshan said, "That's a reasonable excuse."
Su Xueqing said, "Moweng Jie, are you willing to accompany me to go ransom?"
Moweng Jie said, "Do I have the choice?"
