Chapter 729: I Only Want You to Be Happy

~7 min read 1,346 words

Suddenly addressed by him, Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly replied: "No need, just... just leave it like this..."

"OK."

Liu Qingze nodded and looked at the middle-aged man who had just arrived.

"This person can be fired, then sent to the police station; charge him with sexual harassment, and ask the hotel staff to see if anyone else has been harassed by him in the same way."

He spoke rapidly, and just as his voice fell, he felt someone tugging at his pant leg.

"Young... Young Master... It was I who failed to recognize a person of importance! Just now it was all a misunderstanding, I... I saw that this lady had some dust on her, so I wanted to help her..."

"Tsk."

Liu Qingze frowned impatiently and kicked Manager Du over again!

"What are you still waiting for?"

He looked at the man to the side.

The man immediately made a phone call, and in less than two minutes, a group of Security Guards rushed up and dragged Manager Du away.

"Young Master, any other instructions?"

The man kept his head lowered nervously, fearing that Liu Qingze would continue to find fault.

"Big sister, do you have anything else to add?"

Liu Qingze looked at Cai Xiaotang again.

Cai Xiaotang was simply stunned by his methods and speed in handling the matter; hearing this, she immediately shook her head: "This is enough..."

Liu Qingze raised an eyebrow, then said to the man on the side: "Go down."

The man left immediately, knowing when to retreat.

The room returned to silence.

Cai Xiaotang finally let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa, feeling somewhat exhausted, with a buzzing sound in her ears.

Today was truly too unlucky...

It made her have no mood to work at all...

She actually wanted to go have a couple of drinks.

"Big sister, sorry."

Liu Qingze's voice suddenly sounded.

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality and looked at him in confusion.

"What are you apologizing to me for?"

Hearing this, Liu Qingze sat down beside her with a straight face and said huffily: "It would have been better if I had let you wait for me to come up together..."

"Ah... you mean this..."

Cai Xiaotang suddenly realized, and immediately felt a warmth in her heart.

This kid usually looked like he had no seriousness and always spoke in such a cocky way; she hadn't expected him to have quite a "sense of justice"...

And he was actually quite handsome just now...

"Don't worry, didn't you see that I had already beaten that person to the ground before you arrived? Besides, he was beaten by you again later, and he lost his job too, so there's nothing to be sorry about."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but comfortingly stroke Liu Qingze's hair.

Liu Qingze stiffened abruptly; sensing her movement, he suddenly felt the same palpitating sensation as last time, and the roots of his ears turned bright red.

Cai Xiaotang didn't notice, but feeling the soft texture under her hand, she suddenly thought the boy in front of her looked like some kind of...

Well-behaved large dog breed.

"Pfft..."

She couldn't help but laugh at her own thoughts.

"What are you laughing at?"

Liu Qingze looked up at her.

Cai Xiaotang immediately pretended to be gratified and shook her head: "Nothing, just think you looked quite well-behaved just now, a rare sight..."

"Tch... which eye of yours saw that I was well-behaved?"

Liu Qingze snorted disdainfully, yet felt his ears getting hotter and hotter.

Afraid of being discovered by Cai Xiaotang, he simply stood up and asked: "What do you plan to do now?"

"Do what? Work, what else..."

Even though she had been upset twice in a row, Cai Xiaotang was still very professional.

Liu Qingze, however, looked at her with some surprise upon hearing this.

"You're still in the mood to work?"

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously started to answer.

Before she could finish, Liu Qingze stared at her and cut in: "I want the truth."

The boy's eyes were clean and clear, as if he could see through what she was thinking.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned for two seconds, then had to admit: "I really don't have the mood anymore..."

"Oh, then let's take the day off."

Liu Qingze followed her words as a matter of course.

"Huh?"

Cai Xiaotang was taken aback, not having reacted in time.

Then she saw Liu Qingze walk straight toward her, grab her wrist, and head outside.

"Because I'm still very annoyed, I don't want to work today; as my contractor, you're taking the day off with me today, any problems? The project timeline is long anyway, and today is just a one-day delay."

As he spoke, he had already pulled Cai Xiaotang to the front of the elevator.

"You say you're taking a break, so you're taking a break; you have that much authority, huh?"

Cai Xiaotang knew he was doing it to comfort her, so she teased him with a feigned air of ease.

She then hurriedly asked, "Since we're on break, I wonder what Young Master Liu plans to do?"

"Whatever you want, you decide."

Liu Qingze pulled her into the elevator again, and after saying that, he couldn't help but ruffle her hair.

"We can do anything, until your mood improves."

Not expecting him to say that, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling like something was off.

Why is this brat being so good to her?

If she didn't know that he already knew she was married, and that he was Xin'ai's younger brother, she would almost suspect that he liked her!

Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself, then deliberately put on a show of sighing.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Qingze asked immediately.

Then he saw Cai Xiaotang looking at him with a face full of emotion, and she slowly said, "Nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel like having a younger brother isn't bad; he's actually quite thoughtful at critical moments..."

Liu Qingze's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he felt a bit displeased in his heart.

Just as he was about to speak, Cai Xiaotang continued, "But according to our current relationship, I should count as half a sister to you, right? If you run into any trouble in the future, besides Xinaijie, you can also tell me; big sister will look out for you!"

"You!"

Liu Qingze felt a tightness in his chest, and upon hearing this, he retorted unhappily, "It would be good enough if you didn't always need me to look out for you..."

He didn't need to be looked out for by her.

If he could, he wanted to protect her.

The two of them left the hotel, but Cai Xiaotang still hadn't decided where to go.

Although she said she was fine, she had long been suppressing a pile of anger in her heart and urgently needed to find an outlet.

The two of them looked at each other for a long while, and she finally tentatively suggested, "How about... we just wander around and find a place to have a couple of drinks? If you can't drink, you can just watch me drink."

"Who says I can't?"

Liu Qingze raised an eyebrow, then suddenly thought of the day he first met her, which was also at the hotel bar.

"Do you really like drinking?"

He asked casually.

Cai Xiaotang thought for two seconds before explaining, "Not really, I just like to drink a little when I'm troubled or when I'm happy."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something.

It seemed she had already forgotten when she first learned to drink...

It seemed to have started when she accidentally bought a bag of alcoholic beverage back when she was in school?

That feeling of being dizzy after drinking and not having to think about anything made people feel very relaxed.

So...

Today is the same.

After drinking and sleeping, she would forget all her unhappiness!
