Chapter 599

~4 min read 798 words

As she soaked in the bathtub to soothe the soreness in her body, her thoughts were exceptionally calm.

Last night, Shen Anran and the others drugging Qiao Muting perfectly illustrated that Shen Anran wanted to use Shu Xuan.

It must have been the party yesterday that made the people of the Shen Family feel this was an opportunity.

As a result, they never expected to lift a rock only to drop it on their own feet.

Yesterday, Shen Anran kept saying to her that she liked Shu Xuan, yet by night, she wanted to crawl into Qiao Muting's bed; this affection is truly cheap.

Zhang Tezhu should have some evidence.

And she needs this evidence.

About forty minutes passed.

Qiao Muting had already gone to another hotel room to shower and returned.

He glanced toward the bathroom.

Still not out?

He looked at his wristwatch.

His expression darkened, he strode forward, and pushed open the bathroom door.

When he saw Shu Xia leaning in the bathtub with her eyes closed, fast asleep, he let out a sigh of relief.

A moment ago, various news reports about bathroom deaths had flooded his mind.

"Little scatterbrain."

Don't you know this is dangerous?

Qiao Muting condemned her in his heart, but his movements were very gentle and careful as he lifted Shu Xia out of the bathtub and quickly wrapped her in a bathrobe.

The little scatterbrain was sleeping very soundly, and she slept without a care in the world; as she landed in his arms, she found a very comfortable spot to rest her head.

She was as lazy as a little kitten, and there was even some reliance and trust toward her owner.

Qiao Muting's breathing hitched slightly, as if someone had lightly brushed a feather against the tip of his heart, leaving behind waves of palpitations.

A few minutes later.

Qiao Muting walked out and leaned against the hotel corridor, a cigarette tucked between his fingers, unlit.

But the "keep away" coldness on his face made Zhang Tezhu, who was standing opposite him, feel terrified.

"It was Shen Anran's father and second uncle who did it; they bribed the staff at the party and drugged Qiao's drink."

Qiao Muting let out a cold laugh, "Has the Shen Family not suffered enough? They still dare to set their sights on me. Since that's the case, I don't want to see the existence of the Shen Family in Jing City anymore."

"Alright, I will go to the company to arrange it now." Zhang Tezhu just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

An angry boss is more terrifying than a tiger.

But Shu Xia still hasn't woken up yet; the battle last night must have been intense, and the boss should be satisfied, so why is he still so murderous now?

He was scared to death!

"Wait, check the hotel surveillance. Find the video of how Shen Anran entered this room last night and how she was wrapped in a bath towel and taken away by her parents, then send a copy to Shu Xia."

Zhang Tezhu was stunned, "To the Madam?"

"She should be able to use it." When mentioning Shu Xia, the murderous look in Qiao Muting's eyes vanished without a trace.

Zhang Tezhu was shocked into a daze.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should believe his own eyes.

Qiao's speed of changing his expression is just too fast!

"The video was already in my hands last night; I will send it to the Madam later."

Qiao Muting gave a hum, "I'm not going to the company today; have someone send over a few sets of clothes that Shu Xia can wear."

"The clothes should already be on the way; she can wear them as soon as the Madam wakes up." Zhang Tezhu felt that an excellent assistant is one who thinks comprehensively at all times.

Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow, "Go find the Chief Financial Officer; you're getting a raise this month."

Zhang Tezhu's eyes widened, not expecting such a big pie to fall from the sky early in the morning, "Thank you, Qiao! Qiao is wise!"

"When did you start calling her Madam?" Qiao Muting hadn't noticed before.

Zhang Tezhu was also stunned, "Ah, I don't remember."

At first, he called Shu Xia Miss Shu, but now, without realizing it, he started calling her Madam.

A bystander sees clearly; he can tell that the boss likes Shu Xia. Otherwise, with Shen Anran stripping naked and delivering herself to his door, and under the influence of drugs, Qiao could still rationally push her away. This kind of self-control is too incredible. Of course, he must have Shu Xia in his heart, otherwise, would he rather take a cold shower than wait for Shu Xia?
