The man wrapped one arm around her lower back and firmly clasped the back of her head with the other, pulling her whole body into his chest.
Before she could say a word, his kisses rained down on her.
He was probably really upset, for he kissed her so forcefully as if he wanted to crush her to pieces.
Xu Tingyu winced in pain and tried to dodge, but as soon as she turned her face away, he pulled her back and forced her to receive even more intense kisses.
It was not until she was pushed onto the bed that she finally found a chance to speak. "No... Ouch... Be gentle..."
Qi Shifeng would not give her another chance to talk. All she could do was cling to him, with nothing but him in her eyes and mind.
Xu Tingyu still attended the charity dinner the next day.
When she and Qi Shifeng arrived at the airport, they found that their passports were fake.
Moreover, prohibited items were found in their luggage. They couldn't leave the UK for the time being, and Qi Shifeng was even taken away for investigation.
It was obvious who was behind this.
Xu Tingyu was furious. She asked Jiang Li to accompany Qi Shifeng.
She herself returned directly to the residence. When she got there, she saw Zhang Wan sitting at the door. Zhang Wan gave her a smug smile when she saw Xu Tingyu coming back.
"Miss Xu, I said when you left that you'd have to come back."
Xu Tingyu was so provoked that she lost her composure. She stepped forward and slapped Zhang Wan.
"As the boss, so the subordinate. Zhang Wan, you're crazy too."
She had even replaced Qi Shifeng's and Xu Tingyu's passports with fake ones.
They only guarded against her stealing the passports, but never thought she would replace them.
Qi Ye was really despicable. He gave them hope only to give them a blow at the critical moment.
Most importantly, he even let someone like Zhang Wan sit here to disgust them.
"Miss Xu, it was you who broke the contract first. The one - week time was for you to help Qi Shifeng regain his memory, not for you to go back to China with him the next day."
Zhang Wan was also very angry.
But after getting this slap, she couldn't fight back. She could only stare at Xu Tingyu with wide eyes.
"So what if I go back to China? I've said that Qi Ye can't tie me up for a lifetime, can he? He can detain me for a while, but can he detain me forever?"
Xu Tingyu was eager to go back to see Youyou. Now that she was blocked, her anger was beyond imagination.
Moreover, she mercilessly pointed out Qi Ye's poor health. "Besides, he's so sickly. Who knows how long he can live?"
Zhang Wan couldn't bear to hear others say that Qi Ye was in poor health. Her eyes turned red with anger. She rushed at Xu Tingyu and was about to fight with her.
Xu Tingyu dodged easily. She grabbed Zhang Wan's hair and slapped her again with the other hand.
"What, can't stand me saying that? But this is the truth. He's just a sickly and crazy man!"
The strength a furious mother could unleash was amazing.
Zhang Wan's mouth was bleeding from the slaps. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She couldn't even fight back or say a word.
Just then, there came a noisy sound of footsteps.
Soon, the hand that was holding Zhang Wan was grabbed by the wrist.
"Tingyu, I'm crazy. You've known that for a long time, haven't you? Why are you so angry? It's not good to get angry and damage your own body."
Qi Ye said this with a smile on his lips.
In just one day, he seemed to be confident again. The embarrassment from the day before had long disappeared.
Seeing him, Xu Tingyu paused for a moment and then, without hesitation, slapped him too.
This slap stunned everyone.
Zhang Wan finally came to her senses at this moment. She rushed over and grabbed Xu Tingyu. "Are you crazy?"
How dare she slap Qi Ye.
She had not only betrayed Qi Ye, but now she even slapped him.
But Xu Tingyu shook her off easily.
"Yes, so do you want to kill me now?"
She didn't want things to turn out like this. It was they who forced her.
All she wanted was to go back earlier and see Youyou earlier. Was it really that difficult?
Just as Zhang Wan was about to say something, Qi Ye stopped her.
He wasn't angry about being slapped. There was even an indescribable smile on his lips.
"Tingyu, how could I kill you? If you want to go back to Jingdu, just tell me. Why did you try to leave secretly?"
"I'm not stopping you from going. After all, your memories with Shifeng are all in Jingdu. I know that."
As soon as he said this, not only Xu Tingyu but also Zhang Wan looked at him in surprise.
What did this mean? He agreed to let her go back to Jingdu, but...
Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Wan's mind, but she knew Qi Ye wouldn't do this for no reason, so she said nothing and stepped aside silently.
"Are you really willing to let me go back?"
Xu Tingyu asked warily.
If he was willing to let her go back, then why did he play the trick of the fake passports and the prohibited items?
"Of course. But the condition is that you accompany me to today's dinner. After it's over, I'll arrange the fastest flight for you."
Qi Ye gave her a gentle smile. There was not a trace of reluctance in his expression.
Why was this happening?
Was he really that kind - hearted?
Alarm bells rang in Xu Tingyu's mind. But she couldn't figure it out for the moment, so she asked again for confirmation. "You promise?"
"Of course. Tingyu, think back. When have I ever really refused your request?"
Qi Ye still smiled like that.
If it weren't for the obvious slap mark on his face, Xu Tingyu would even think that everything that had happened in the past two days was just her illusion.
She was about to go back to Jingdu with Qi Shifeng, but all he asked was for her to accompany him to a charity dinner.
This seemed so strange no matter how she looked at it.
However, strange things had happened to him more than once.
Since she couldn't leave for the moment anyway, she might as well see what he was up to.
So finally, she nodded and agreed. Under Qi Ye's arrangement, she went to get a full set of makeup and styling.
Qi Ye had obviously dressed up carefully. The slap mark on his face had disappeared somehow.
Just like last time, their clothes were obviously a couple's outfit. From the color scheme to the small details, they matched perfectly.
When they arrived at the venue of the dinner, before entering, Xu Tingyu didn't want to enter on Qi Ye's arm, so she said, "I want to go to the bathroom first."
Qi Ye naturally wouldn't refuse. As usual, Zhang Wan accompanied her.
In front of the mirror in the bathroom, she washed her hands while looking at herself in the mirror.
Zhang Wan was getting impatient waiting beside her, but the two slaps still made her behave. Even though she was impatient, she didn't say a word.
But since Zhang Wan was silent, Xu Tingyu just had to provoke her.
"Seeing Qi Ye like this, are you really disappointed with him? Do you even wish you could kill me?"
She was still washing her hands.
Because when they got out of the car just now, Qi Ye had touched her hand. Even for just a moment, she felt disgusted.
Zhang Wan was probably warned by Qi Ye. Hearing this, she didn't say a word back.
Xu Tingyu clicked her tongue twice. "How boring. I thought you had deep feelings for him. Now it seems that you're just self - interested."
"You want to save him from trouble, but you're also afraid that he won't appreciate it and will damage your relationship. In the end, don't you just value yourself the most?"
