Chapter 1121: I like you, so tell me, are you afraid?

Yun Qitian laughed.

When he laughed, he revealed a set of neat, white teeth: "I called you a beauty, did I offend you? Beauty, don't misunderstand; we people from Jiangzhou call all pretty girls 'beauty.' It's a sign of respect, a compliment, absolutely a compliment."

Two rosy clouds flew onto Liu Min's cheeks.

"Let go."

Although it was a commanding tone, there wasn't much anger in her voice.

Yun Qitian obediently let go, but he still blocked Shi Ran's front and said to Liu Min, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you just now. I had no other intentions; I just felt it wasn't worth it for you."

"Why do you feel it wasn't worth it for me?"

Yun Qitian: "There are many reasons, but I can't finish them in a sentence or two. If you want to hear them, I can tell you slowly."

Liu Min was just about to agree, but the corner of her eye caught Qi Heng, and she immediately changed her tune: "I don't want to hear it. You are all in the same gang."

"Qi Heng, come back with me. I don't care who you have in your heart, anyway, you are mine..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a sharp pain struck the back of her neck, and immediately after, her vision went black, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Wang Yong stood behind her, his hand still held in the posture of having chopped down.

The expressions of Shi Ran and Qi Heng both changed; they became anxious and deathly pale.

Shi Ran: "Uncle Wang, you are too impulsive. She is Commander Liu's daughter! How could you dare to knock her out? She certainly won't let this go once she wakes up."

Wang Yong was indifferent: "I'm not afraid of their Liu Family. So what if their family has an army? I don't want to be president anyway. At worst, I'll just find some deserted island to hide on. Even if her father has thousands of troops and horses, he won't be able to find me."

Qi Heng's complexion went from deathly pale to beet red.

Only Yun Qitian didn't care; he told the others not to be afraid, as this matter wasn't that serious.

Then he asked everyone to lend a hand and carry her to his room!

None of them moved; they all stared at him in unison, looking puzzled.

He teased Qi Heng: "Are you reluctant?"

"Nonsense, how could I be reluctant?"

To show that he was willing, Qi Heng was the first to move and help.

But he was stopped by Shi Ran, who said sternly: "I don't agree with you two doing this. Even if Miss Liu is overbearing, we cannot do such sordid things."

Yun Qitian protested: "Ranran, you need to make yourself clear. How am I being sordid? I, Yun Qitian, walk straight and sit upright; I have never disdained to do petty, underhanded things... No way, no way, you don't think I'm going to ruin Miss Liu's reputation, do you?"

Shi Ran nodded: "Yes."

He wore a very hurt expression: "Ranran, you disappoint me too much. I went through so much trouble and made such a great sacrifice to help you, and you actually think of me this way?"

"I just wanted to wait for her to wake up in my room while you all were away so we could communicate better. I would use my silver tongue to make her change her mind for you all!"

So that was it.

Now everyone understood.

Shi Ran no longer blocked them and even took the initiative to help.

The person was carried into Yun Qitian's room, and he still wore a hurt expression: "You all hurt me, apologize."

"I was wrong," Qi Heng apologized with a bow.

"I was wrong," Shi Ran apologized with a second bow.

"I was wrong too," Wang Yong joined in the fun and followed suit with an apology. After the third bow, the ceremony was complete!

The three of them ran off laughing; Wang Yong, a middle-aged, greasy uncle, laughed with such innocence and charm, happy as a child.

In Yun Qitian's room.

Liu Min woke up, and seeing that it was an unfamiliar room, she immediately thought of everything that had just happened.

She was very angry and wanted to throw off the blanket to go find Shi Ran and settle the score; naturally, all of this had to be blamed on Shi Ran.

However, her hands and feet wouldn't listen to her; they were limp and couldn't muster any strength. Oh no, she had been drugged.

"You're awake?"

Yun Qitian still had his signature smile as he walked toward her step by step, holding a bowl of herbal tea in his hand: "Come, drink some herbal tea. I brewed this myself; it's the best for cooling off and clearing internal heat."

Liu Min looked vigilant and threatened: "Don't come over here, stay away from me."

"No problem."

He was easygoing and reasonable.

If she wanted him further away, he would stay further away.

He actually took a step back and stood further off, but then, as if by magic, he pulled an extra-long straw from behind him—it was a full meter long!

He inserted one end of the straw into the cup and held the other end to Liu Min's lips: "Drink, it tastes pretty good."

Liu Min didn't want to drink, but her throat was indeed very dry.

Yun Qitian: "You're hesitating. Are you afraid I added something to the herbal tea? Don't worry, there's nothing in it. Your combat power is currently equal to zero; I don't need to add anything to the tea."

That made sense, so she took a sip.

She sucked hard, but nothing came up.

She sucked hard several more times, but still didn't get any into her mouth.

It was mainly because the straw was too long.

She glared at him fiercely and commanded: "Feed me."

So, after going in a circle, it was still Yun Qitian feeding her.

After a cup of herbal tea went down, he indeed hadn't lied; she felt refreshed, and her temper had subsided quite a bit.

But she still had no strength in her body and couldn't get up.

"Where is Qi Heng? I want to see him."

Yun Qitian said calmly: "You won't be able to see him. He abandoned his parents, relatives, and friends and eloped with Shi Ran."

Liu Min said angrily: "Shi Ran has a lot of nerve, she dares to snatch my man? Is she not afraid that my father will smash everything the Sheng Family has in L Country? Does she not consider that at all?"

Yun Qitian said: "The Sheng Family isn't afraid. Uncle and Auntie Sheng already thought of that. They said to go ahead and smash it; if your family does that, L Country's economy won't be able to develop for a hundred years, and no merchant from any country in the world would dare to invest in L Country. The survival environment would be too harsh."

Liu Min:...

Although she did not understand economics, she also felt that what Yun Qitian said made sense.

Although she could not smash anything, she still had to vent the pent-up anger in her heart.

"The Sheng Family shouldn't expect to do business smoothly in L Country from now on. This woman Shi Ran is too selfish; does she not consider her own parents at all?"

Yun Qitian said: "That is their business, so stop worrying about things that don't concern you. Uncle and Auntie Sheng would absolutely never sacrifice their daughter's happiness for the sake of the Clan's interests; this is something you can't envy."

She said angrily: "Who envies her? I am the dignified daughter of a Military Region Commander, do I need to envy the daughter of a merchant? My parents are also very good to me, I am also my mom and dad's apple of their eye, their precious treasure held in the palm of their hands, if I want the stars they wouldn't give me the moon..."

She kept explaining, attempting to prove through this that she was superior to Shi Ran!

But she still had not fully understood—explaining is covering up, covering up is the truth, and the truth is that her father indeed had the idea of using his daughter to tether the President's son, and it was not entirely because she liked Qi Heng.

Did she really like Qi Heng?

Liu Min asked herself quietly.

The answer was that it seemed she didn't like him that much either; it was just her competitive personality at work, making her feel that she shouldn't lose to Shi Ran in everything, and she wanted to win against her once!

When they were little, they were both in the same kindergarten, and although everyone was very young at that time, Shi Ran had left her with a very deep childhood trauma.
