Liu Yushu tried to scream but couldn't. She felt the person holding her tightly leap into the air. The blue sky and white clouds flashed before her eyes. In a blink, she saw herself flying through the window on the top floor of the restaurant from a great height.
After being put down, her pounding heart finally settled.
Wu Qing smiled, reached out his hand and gently stroked her head. Seeing the panicked look on her face, he pulled her into his arms again and stroked her back to soothe her. "Don't be afraid."
She grabbed the front of his robe tightly and scolded him angrily, "Do you want to scare me to death!" Her tone was extremely aggrieved.
He rested his chin on the top of her head and smiled contentedly. He enjoyed it very much when she lightly punched his chest with her soft fists.
He loved it when she acted coquettishly in his arms. He loved it so much.
As for why he had scared her to abduct her, the reason was very simple. He had seen Wu Chunzhe following her and had felt jealous and possessive.
She belonged to him. No one else but him was allowed to have her.
"What did you bring me here for?" Liu Yushu looked confused.
Everyone in the capital knew that the owner of Drunken Immortal Restaurant had a strange temper. The Qionghua Wine in the restaurant was only sold to those destined for it. If any impolite guests came to cause trouble, no one would come out to stop them. However, by the next day, those guests would have their legs broken and be hung on the city gate as a public warning. And since no one had ever seen the owner in person, the common people all said that the owner of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant might be a cruel and ruthless monster.
"I'm afraid the strange - tempered owner will break my legs if we run into him." Liu Yushu pouted and pretended to be innocent and timid. She was timid, but with him around, she was not afraid of anything.
She deliberately acted like a coward to act coquettishly with him.
He sat down leisurely, pulled her to sit next to him, and tucked the loose hair in front of her forehead behind her ear. "The owner doesn't hurt those destined for him. You are the one destined for me."
Huh? Liu Yushu opened her eyes wide in surprise and instantly understood that the owner of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant was sitting right in front of her.
No wonder he had smelled of Qionghua Wine on the cliff that day.
Liu Yushu didn't know that the bottle of Qionghua Wine that Wu Chunzhe had given her was also from Wu Qing. That day, Wu Qing had been following her. Later, Wu Chunzhe had come to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to ask him for Qionghua Wine in order to please her. He had asked Wu Chunzhe why he wanted the wine. At first, Wu Chunzhe hadn't told the truth and said that he wanted it for himself. Wu Qing had refused to give it to him, so he had tried to take it by force. After several confrontations, Wu Chunzhe had been defeated. But Wu Chunzhe had rather be cut by Wu Qing several times than not get the Qionghua Wine.
It was because Liu Yushu had joked with him that she would marry whoever gave her Qionghua Wine.
She had been joking, but Wu Chunzhe had taken it seriously.
Under Wu Qing's pressing question, Wu Chunzhe had straightforwardly said that the wine was for Liu Yushu. As soon as Wu Qing had heard Liu Yushu's name, his heart had softened, and he had immediately given the wine to Wu Chunzhe. From then on, he had started to secretly follow Liu Yushu, deeply worried that she would suffer a relapse of the drug addiction because of Wu Chunzhe.
The poisonous gu worm that Wu Qing had planted in Liu Yushu's body was such that if she got close to any man other than him, she would immediately suffer a relapse and die suddenly.
Now he didn't have to worry about her suffering a relapse. Because the poison in her body had been forced out by himself. While she wasn't paying attention, he had quietly removed the poisonous gu worm from her in a way that was hard for her to notice. He really wanted to marry her right away, but she didn't agree. Her rules were set in stone. He had to marry her openly and above - board. She wanted to be his legitimate wife, not a wife he had snatched back.
Wu Qing didn't plan to tell Liu Yushu about the detoxification for the time being. He only told her that he would detoxify her on their wedding night.
"So it's you." Liu Yushu's exclamation was immediately silenced by Wu Qing's kiss.
She pushed him away. "Don't..." She cursed in her heart. This guy was really going too far. How could he be so unruly in broad daylight? Did he have an itch for a beating? If she didn't show her power, would he really think she was a meek cat?
"Does this not count as breaking the rules?" Wu Qing hooked his lips into a smile and stared at her playfully.
She snorted at him and turned her head. "In broad daylight, if you dare to be so presumptuous again, I will never forgive you, you monster." She glared at him angrily. "The rules were set by me. You have to listen to me. There's no room for negotiation." Her tone was extremely domineering. If she gave in to him now, he would be even more unruly after they got married.
"I'll listen to you." Wu Qing coaxed her with a smile, then contentedly let go of his hand and stared at her intently. "Tell me who hurt you." There was a terrifying killing intent in his eyes.
He wanted to tear the person who had hurt her into pieces and grind their bones to ashes.
She felt wronged and her nose started to sting. With red - rimmed eyes, she told him the whole story.
After hearing this, Wu Qing was burning with anger and was about to go find Zhao Qin to settle the score immediately, but was stopped by Liu Yushu. "It's daytime. There's no need to rush to deal with that brute." She grabbed his sleeve and stared at him stubbornly. "First, tell me how many times you've been to the Marquis's Mansion before and what you did with Geng Rong. You must tell me everything. If you dare to lie to me or hide anything from me, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."
Wu Qing sighed helplessly, but the killing intent in his heart did not fade. He would kill everyone who had ever hurt Liu Yushu, everyone! Including himself!
The two of them drank a little wine and were slightly tipsy.
Wu Qing didn't talk much. He just liked to quietly look at her. After a long time, she felt a bit shy under his intense gaze. She glanced at him. "Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something written on my face?"
He still said nothing, just grinned happily. "Your face has everything I love deeply."
She felt sweeter than honey in her heart. She asked softly, "Brother Qing, tell me about your past. I want to know more about you."
Wu Qing's eyes suddenly widened. There was a mixture of shock and surprise in them, and then they turned timid. "I'm just an ordinary mortal. My past is not exciting. I'd rather forget all of my past without you." His past was too dark. He didn't want to burden her with those heavy things.
Liu Yushu saw through Wu Qing's concerns at a glance. She deliberately acted coquettishly. "I want to hear it even if it's not exciting. I like boring stories the most. Hurry up and tell me." She picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp. She snorted. "If you don't tell me, I'll just keep drinking."
Wu Qing quickly stopped her. Although the wine was good, she couldn't drink it like there was no tomorrow. Too much wine was harmful to the body. "Okay, okay, I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything." He really had no way to deal with her.
"Good. I'm all ears." Having achieved her goal, she showed a sly smile.
"The earliest memory I have is boundless snow..." Wu Qing began to tell his story in a deep voice.
