Chapter 32.2

Yan Qingqiu got up from the tea restaurant. Fu Ye wanted to follow and control her, trying the same old trick again. Yan Qingqiu was prepared. She clapped her hands first. Fu Ye did not succeed, and only then did she realize that several men in black nearby had all walked over. He keenly sensed that he had stepped into a trap.

Yan Qingqiu patted the table and gave the order. “Teach him a proper lesson for me.”

After saying that, she stood up directly, slung her bag over her shoulder, and left the restaurant.

Fu Ye wanted to leave but did not dare move. A group of people had surrounded him. Everyone in the tea restaurant packed up their things and moved away. The waiter wanted to come help, but after seeing the tense muscles of the men in black, he backed away repeatedly.

Fu Ye could only watch helplessly as Yan Qingqiu walked farther and farther away.

No, if they were just chatting, why did she bring so many people?

Fu Ye felt waves of guilt in his heart. He told his secretary, “Go check exactly what these people do. What are their identities…”

Checking information was easy. Very quickly, the secretary replied, lowering his voice. “These are all bodyguards with prior records. They used to be hired thugs. They especially listen to their employers, and often accidentally beat people until they’re disabled… Looking at them, none of them seem like decent people.”

Fu Ye swallowed lightly.

The secretary said, “Are they planning to make a move on you?”

Fu Ye fell silent. The secretary could not help feeling a little worried and said seriously, “Your body may not be able to handle it. Why don’t we just run?”

Fu Ye hesitated. Running would be too humiliating. He was silent for a moment, then said, “Let’s wait another ten minutes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand pressed onto his shoulder.

He originally thought the other party would say something. Unexpectedly, that person’s hand pressed directly against the back of his neck, then moved downward. Fu Ye wanted to resist, but it was too late. His gland was already completely pinched in someone’s hand, with enough strength to crush it outright.

Fu Ye was a high-level Alpha. It would have been easy for him to counterattack the bodyguards, but he had just undergone surgery. And there were eighteen of them. He might be able to beat one, but he would have no way of handling the rest. The secretary beside him had long been slapped away by someone’s palm and now could not even crawl up.

“Tsk, not bad. You’re pretty wild.”

The bodyguard patted his face and said, “One touch from gege and you’re excited? What were you planning to do to our Miss just now?”

“Come on, drink a couple cups with gege. Don’t fucking act delicate. Weren’t you running your mouth at our Miss just now? Say ‘I love you’ to me and let me hear it.” The bodyguard picked up the tea on the table. “Why aren’t you talking?”

“Do you know who I am?” Fu Ye endured the abdominal pain, cold sweat pouring from his forehead. His heart was even more stifled with anger. This group of people actually dared toy with him.

“Fu Ye.” He said it coldly, wanting them to have some self-awareness.

“Then that matches, doesn’t it? Get him!”

Two black-clothed bodyguards grabbed his hair, restrained his restless hands, and pinched his gland so he could not release pheromones or mental power.

The leading burly, muscular bodyguard held up a phone and took a few photos of him. “Even if you’re rich, it’s useless. We all serve our boss.”

After taking several photos in a row, the burly man clenched his fist. Looking at Fu Ye’s deathly pale face, he still did not strike. If he accidentally beat him to death, that would not be worth it.

Fu Ye had not expected to suffer this kind of humiliation. He was so furious he wished he could directly wipe out the entire bodyguard company. He knew better than anyone that if a bodyguard company dared do this, it meant they only listened to their employer. There were people backing the company.

·

Yan Qingqiu did not know what happened in the tea restaurant. Even if they fought, it did not matter. Fu Ye deserved to be beaten anyway. She went straight to ER.

Su Xingjie gave her a document. Yan Qingqiu sent one copy to Song Qingre and another to Yan Fu. The answers she got were all that there was no problem. The contract sent to her was the best possible one: free status, and the best price.

Yan Qingqiu felt she was taking too much advantage of Su Xingjie and told Su Xingjie to quickly revise it. The two talked for half a day in the office, and in the end, they compromised on the contract so neither side would profit too much.

When Yan Qingqiu was signing, Su Xingjie’s secretary came over to inform them, “President Su, Fu Ye was beaten. He was pressed onto a table in the tea ​Read on BaiLianTales​hall and had his gland toyed with…”

“!”

Yan Qingqiu was shocked. “No way… He deserved it!”

As she spoke, her phone rang. Looking at the number, she knew it was Fu Ye calling.

Yan Qingqiu was a little afraid to answer.

Her finger trembled, but she still answered.

Su Xingjie was dumbfounded. Qiu-bao had Fu Ye beaten?

The call connected, but the person calling was not Fu Ye. It was the bodyguard.

The bodyguard panted and said, “Miss, don’t worry. From today onward, he probably won’t dare pester you anymore. Not only did we beat him up, we also took photos. In the future, you can use this to threaten him.”

“…”

Too brave. Too brave.

You really did what I didn’t dare do.

She lowered her voice and asked again, “Were you the ones who beat him today? It wasn’t someone else, right?” I didn’t tell you to mess with his gland, did I!

The bodyguard answered quickly, “Yes, we beat him. We even kept a video. Do you want to see it?”

Yan Qingqiu was shocked. “Why did you even keep a video? I didn’t tell you to keep one.”

“Mainly, when it comes to beating people, we thugs do things with a certain limit. So we have to keep evidence. And some employers like asking for this kind of thing. If you don’t want it, we can delete it too. Originally, we wanted to tell you in advance, but you left too fast,” the bodyguard said. “The boss is paying us so much money. This is what we should do. We also have professional ethics.”

Yan Qingqiu felt that Dad’s love for her was a little excessive. What kind of bodyguards had he hired? Luckily, she had only said “beat him.” If she had said “beat him to death,” would they have beaten Fu Ye until he was disabled or dead?

“Miss?” the bodyguard asked. “Did we not do this properly? Originally, we wanted to remove his arm, but we felt we might end up in the station, and the Fu family is also quite powerful. We brothers held back a little…”

“Enough, enough. Tomorrow, continue coming to work. Exercise more today, but don’t exercise too excessively either.”

The bodyguard asked, “Mm? What else are you planning to do?”

“It’s not really that I want to do anything. bailiantales.comMainly, I’m afraid Fu Ye will retaliate against me. If we end up fighting, you stand in front and take it, and I’ll run away. At that time, you don’t need to record video, okay?”

Bodyguard: “…”

“Rest assured on this point.”

After hanging up, Yan Qingqiu received the video the bodyguard sent over. She briefly admired it for a while, then forwarded it to Su Xingjie to watch.

Su Xingjie: “That dead pervert!”

Yan Qingqiu looked at her. “Who are you cursing?”

Su Xingjie sat perfectly straight, her long legs crossed in the office chair. “That dead pervert Fu Ye finally got what he deserved!”

“Sorry, I got too excited just now and forgot to say the whole thing.”

“Someone like him deserves it. Qiu-bao, you did well!” Su Xingjie praised her, almost making Yan Qingqiu shy.

“Last time, he provoked us like that. Retribution.”

Yan Qingqiu stood beside her desk, her fingers gripping the corner, still shaken. She swore to the heavens that Read on BaiLianTalesshe had not actually planned to have the bodyguards do anything to him. But now that the beating had happened, what could she do?

Yan Qingqiu panicked inside. This was also her first time hiring people to fight. No, that was not right. It did not count as hiring people to fight. It was just that the bodyguards had lost control.

After panicking, she pulled herself together and stood straight. “It was still too light. They should have beaten your share too and made him kneel directly.”

Su Xingjie nodded. The two leaned together and savored the video again. The more they watched, the more satisfying it felt. Su Xingjie sensed that Yan Qingqiu was very nervous and said, “He probably won’t dare say it out loud either. Otherwise, if word gets out, it would be too humiliating. In any case, after this, if he still pesters you, he’s just cheap.”

Yan Qingqiu: “If he pesters me once, I’ll beat him once! Dead cheap bastard. Sister, curse him for me!”

That familiar feeling rose in Su Xingjie again. Only, this time, the target had changed. In the past, she had always spared no effort in cursing Song Qingre. Now, it had become cursing Fu Ye.

A quantitative change had turned into a qualitative change in just a few short days.

Su Xingjie slightly rolled up her sleeves, then began speaking rapidly. “Someone like him still wants to chase you? A toad wanting to eat swan meat. If not for you being blind back then and taking a fancy to him, would he think he had the ability to be liked by you? It’s not that I want to say this, sister, but up and down his family for dozens of generations, there really isn’t a single one worth looking at.”

“I wish him bad luck for the rest of his life. Hurry up and go bankrupt, fall into poverty, spend this life sleeping on the streets, and go begging on the road without even being able to beg for a hot meal.”

“Baby, you’re a heavenly fairy. He’s completely unworthy of you!”

Yan Qingqiu nodded hard. “Sister, if you know how to talk, then say more.”

Su Xingjie cursed until her mouth was dry and poured water to drink, bringing Yan Qingqiu a cup too. After sitting for a while, Yan Qingqiu could not sit still anymore. She took her bag and prepared to go back.

“You’re going to pick up Song Qingre?” Su Xingjie saw through her at a glance.

“Yeah.”

Su Xingjie watched her stuff the contract into her bag. She wanted to speak, then fell silent, repeating this several times before asking, “Is she still your lover now?”

Yan Qingqiu had almost forgotten about this. She nodded. “Of course not! After all, back then I only…”

“Only what?”

Yan Qingqiu paused. She discovered that when one lied too much, sometimes one really could not remember what one had said. “Only playing around. To humiliate her.”

“Then why are you picking her up from work now? Your dad believes you don’t like Fu Ye anymore now, right?”

Yan Qingqiu discovered that this sister of hers really was smart. One or two sentences left her unable to refute. “Sister, why are you so sharp? I’m curious again. Why didn’t you chase me and ask questions back when I dyed my hair?”

Su Xingjie fell silent. “I was just saying it. Look how anxious you are.”

Feeling that she could not cover both matters, Yan Qingqiu could only hide one of them. Yan Qingqiu said, “Fine, I admit it. I went to find Song Qingre because I was scared… I didn’t expect the bodyguards to really beat him.”

Su Xingjie stood up with her. “Forget it. I’ll send you out.”

·

One hour later, Yan Qingqiu sat in the car, tense and uneasy. Song Qingre sat beside her and flipped through the contract. The phone in Yan Qingqiu’s bag kept ringing, the sound turning piercing in the oppressive car.

Song Qingre pressed her finger against the contract and said, “Answer it.”

Yan Qingqiu immediately picked up the phone.

This time, Fu Ye’s voice came through, as thin as a thread.

Fu Ye asked weakly, “Was it you? Did you really order the bodyguards to do it?”

“So what if it was me?” Yan Qingqiu replied.

“You actually had bodyguards humiliate me?” Fu Ye had strong self-esteem and could not say exactly how bailiantales.com the bodyguards had humiliated him.

Yan Qingqiu’s imagination worked quickly. It couldn’t be that all eighteen bodyguards were as lustful as her and touched his gland, right? And then did something else to Fu Ye? Stripped his clothes?

“What did they do? Didn’t they just touch your gland?”

“Yan Qingqiu.” Fu Ye’s self-esteem had been heavily wounded. “You think it was just touching?” They almost crushed his gland.

Yan Qingqiu laughed. “Then you deserved it too. When you touched my gland, why didn’t you think you were going too far?”

Yan Qingqiu directly cursed back. He should have been given a taste of his own medicine, so he would know regret.

Fu Ye’s voice became heavier. “Are you taking revenge on me?”

“Am I not allowed to take revenge on you?” Yan Qingqiu asked back.

Fu Ye did not speak. Yan Qingqiu snorted coldly. “I did it. So what? Later, I’ll go give them a reward and praise their spirit of serving their employer and obeying wholeheartedly.”

Fu Ye hung up in anger. He had still held hope, not expecting Yan Qingqiu to become more and more excessive, completely relying on his feelings for her to act recklessly. Fine, then he would be with Song Qingre and make her regret it.

He lay on the hospital bed and asked his secretary, “Have I spoiled her too much? Is that it?”

The secretary was silent for a long time and said nothing. For some reason, he instead felt Yan Qingqiu’s words made sense. In the first place, it was Fu Ye who had touched her first. If his own sister’s girlfriend were treated like that, he would definitely think of a way to chop off that person’s hand.

Now that they touched him back, wasn’t that fine too?

Before, you said you wanted to make it up to her and almost made the other party go bankrupt. Now, fine, the other party has openly taken revenge, and you’ve started whining.

Thinking about it, although Fu Ye was rich, he really was not worthy of the two beauties. The secretary said seriously, “Sir, why don’t you stop loving?”

Fu Ye glared at him fiercely, clutching his aching stomach and silently swallowing this grievance. Love? He was confused too.

After Yan Qingqiu finished cursing, she fiercely shut off her phone and stopped accepting any messages. She looked at Song Qingre beside her.

Song Qingre did not speak. She had been looking at her phone the whole time and did not seem to care much about this matter. Only after a long while did she comment, “This person is quite strange. He can bully you, but if you touch him once, that’s not allowed?”

Yan Qingqiu nodded hard. Song Qingre was still the smart one.

She had just let out a breath when the system spoke: [Do you really think you were the one who found people to beat Fu Ye?]

The bodyguards had admitted it, and Yan Qingqiu had already done it, so she admitted it openly: [You didn’t stop me when I hit him. It can’t be that only after Read on BaiLianTalesI hit him, you tell me I can’t do it, right?]

System: [It’s just that, have you ever considered that someone might be muddying the waters and arranging the matter of beating Fu Ye onto your head?]

Yan Qingqiu fell silent for an instant. [How do you know? My bodyguards said it with their own mouths.]

The system said: [I guessed.]

Yan Qingqiu gave an oh. The system’s words did have some reasoning. What if someone was framing her? Then the blame she had to carry would be huge.

Yan Qingqiu: [Do you have any substantive evidence?]

The system did not speak. It did not have any either.

Right now, there was video, and the bodyguards had admitted it. They had indeed beaten someone. There was no need to shirk responsibility.

Pushing this matter onto the female lead—wasn’t that exactly what a vicious supporting female character would do?

Yan Qingqiu asked the system: [Do you all especially want to target her?]

Only after a long while did the system say: [How could that be? We have always treated read the original at bailiantales.com everyone equally. How could we target her? We only control the erotic plot. I reminded you only because we have worked together for so long, and I don’t want problems to appear while you’re doing the mission.]

Yan Qingqiu said: [I didn’t even say who that person was.]

Yan Qingqiu’s heart was clear as a mirror. If you’re not deliberately targeting the female lead, then you’re targeting me, deliberately pushing me into the fire pit.

Thinking about it this way, some people really did not want to become vicious supporting female characters. They were completely guided by the system. The system was faintly guiding her onto a dead end.

That night, after returning home, Song Qingre did not say a word.

The butler did not mention this matter either and only took charge of serving dishes.

Song Qingre ate. Yan Qingqiu looked at her from time to time, somewhat uneasy. Biting her fork, she said, “I didn’t expect the bodyguards to be that savage.”

Song Qingre gave an mm and said, “I told Uncle about this matter. I said the bodyguards misunderstood your meaning and lost control, which was why they attacked Fu Ye. Fu Ye brought this on himself. It has nothing to do with you in the first place. He was also the one who came and bumped into you himself.”

Yan Qingqiu gave an oh, then looked at Song Qingre several more times. Her heart felt a little moved. Every time she did something wrong, it was Song Qingre who cleaned up the mess for her. “How did you know he came looking for me?”

“When you’re that disgusted by him, would you take the initiative to see him?”

Song Qingre added, “We still have to compensate him for medical expenses.”

“Why should we?” Yan Qingqiu became anxious.

“I’ll pay it, to avoid leaving anything for people to criticize.” Song Qingre said, “What if he uses this matter to threaten you in the future?”

Yan Qingqiu said, “He didn’t give me money last time either.”

“Because he is disgusting. You’re not the same as him.”

Yan Qingqiu felt she was right. Her disgust toward Fu Ye rose another level.

Song Qingre sat across from her, her fingers holding a milky-white cup. She looked at her warmly and gently. “Were you very scared?”

“How could I be? I just wanted to thank you.” Yan Qingqiu said, “About today’s matter…”

Song Qingre said, “I’m here.”

Her fingertips rubbed against the cup as she said softly, “Isn’t it just beating someone up? Don’t be afraid. He deserved to be beaten.” Her eyes lowered slightly. The gloominess only flashed for an instant.

Yan Qingqiu had thought she would educate her. Her heart became a little happy.

Thinking again that she still owed Song Qingre one hundred million, truly, she had originally wanted to settle both money and relationship cleanly, but unexpectedly, now she owed both money and affection. She thought that since this had happened, she should quickly return Song Qingre’s money. She should call Dad, but she was also afraid he would bring up the fighting matter.

After hearing Song Qingre say those two sentences, she also got into the mood. “Next time I see him, I’ll beat him again. I’ll beat him until he shuts himself away.”

Song Qingre: “That works.”

“Then what do you want?” Yan Qingqiu took a deep breath and asked her. “I want to thank you.”

Song Qingre did not say directly. She thought seriously. “I haven’t decided yet. There’s no hurry.”

Yan Qingqiu bit the spoon. “Then if you haven’t decided and the time expires, you can’t blame me.”

“Let me bite you once,” Song Qingre said.

Yan Qingqiu looked at her spoon and handed it over. “Here, bite. Your hobbies are really strange.”

Song Qingre took a sip of milk and did not dwell on this question, but everyone knew what she meant by bite.

She said, “Right, let me tell you something.”

“What is it?” Yan Qingqiu put the spoon aside and wiped with a tissue.

Song Qingre said, “In a couple days, I’ll have someone tidy up the neighboring courtyard.”

“Mm?”

“I’m preparing to move back there. I can’t keep living here with you.”

“Then what will I do at night?”

Yan Qingqiu could not help blurting it out. If Song Qingre did not help relieve her heat symptoms, what would she do afterward?

“Looks like Qiuqiu doesn’t remember what I said.” Song Qingre said it warmly, clearly reminding her of the two text messages she must not forget.

Yan Qingqiu had a good memory and strong comprehension. Thinking of the messages she received that morning, she bit her lip and did not speak. What a sin…

It was fine. She would just endure.

After dinner, the two of them entered their rooms one after another. Song Qingre opened and closed [stolen content]her door. Yan Qingqiu returned to her room and froze for a while.

She lay on the bed and began thinking about Song Qingre’s words, thinking about how Song Qingre had helped her handle things today.

That kind of gentleness, ai, was so fatal.

She held her phone and looked at those two messages from yesterday.

[Not obedient.]

[I’m going to punish you.]

Yan Qingqiu realized what was wrong. Before, Song Qingre would always take the initiative to ask whether she wanted a massage. Today, she had not asked her.

Could this be the punishment?

Song Qingre’s hands were like helping her tighten a valve. Without Song Qingre’s help, her body would collapse… So fatal.

Yan Qingqiu lay flat and exhaled.

She rolled back and forth, tangled [bailiantales.com]and hesitant. She took the initiative and sent Song Qingre a message: [Are you asleep?]

There was no reply from that side.

Yan Qingqiu tugged at the bedsheet. Why was there no reply? Even one word would be good. She sent another: [Song Qingre, are you asleep? Let’s chat.]

[Are you really going to the hospital to give Fu Ye money?]

With only one wall between them, she really wanted to chat with Song Qingre right now. She truly only wanted to chat. Look, even tonight’s moonlight was gentle.

Her waist felt swollen now.

She scrolled upward again and saw the message she had received but never replied to.

At the time, she had only looked at it and had not taken it seriously. She felt that Song Qingre was not any proper person either and would definitely be unable to resist wanting to touch her. Unexpectedly… she had really become proper.

Yan Qingqiu felt that she could not have no backbone. If someone did not reply, she should not keep pestering them. Her body had felt very comfortable these past few days. She should be able to hold out for a few more nights. She took out the story she had written and looked at it.

When she saw Miss Song trembling on the desk…

No good.

She put down the little notebook and took out her phone again.

She had discovered a small secret.

Song Qingre had taken control of her body. As long as Song Qingre did not touch her, she wanted to cry.

If Song Qingre did not massage her, it seemed she could immediately heat up.

In the room next door, the person inside raised her head and looked at the door. Her gaze was dark, like a spider lying low in the night, having woven its web early and waiting for the prey to crash into it.

She sent an email to the bodyguards: [Beat him every time you see him.]

Even though she was starving, even though the prey was already trapped in the web, she still patiently lay in wait, not rushing, guiding things step by step.

Waiting for the moment of complete possession.

She sent a voice message over, saying gently, “Sleep early.”

Only a few minutes later, a knock sounded outside the door.

Author’s Note:

Afraid you might not understand: the eighteen bodyguards were switched out by Miss Song. But Qiuqiu did indeed give the order. ╭（°A°’）╮ The attributes are only just beginning to unfold.
