When Sheng Qian carried Zhao Xiaowei out of the room, the party beside them was still continuing, so no one noticed them.

Sheng Qian originally thought that Zhao Xiaowei was scared silly by what was happening since he was this quiet. Although this woman usually made a ruckus, in the end, she was still a woman, so it was normal for her to be scared.

But when he put her in the car, and just as he was about to leave, not only did Zhao Xiaowei not let go of his neck, she hugged him even more tightly, and kissed him with her somewhat ice-cold lips.

"Zhao Xiaowei, you're courting death —" Sheng Qian frowned, extended his hand and was about to push Zhao Xiaowei away.

Zhao Xiaowei's eyes were still covered by a layer of mist, and her voice was still as humble and pleading as it had never been before: "Just this once, I beg you …"

Sheng Qian's brows furrowed even more. Seeing her like this, his body actually did not move at all, allowing Zhao Xiaowei to kiss him.

The lights in the parking lot at night were dim, but for the two of them, it seemed to have become a protective color, or perhaps a catalyst for some sort of emotion.

But suddenly, from an unknown corner, a flash of white light shone and the sound of a camera came out. Sheng Qian immediately released Zhao Xiaowei and looked around cautiously, but he did not even notice a shadow.

"I'll take you home." Sheng Qian got in the car and said to Zhao Xiaowei who was behind him.

Zhao Xiaowei didn't say anything as well, and looked at Sheng Qian from behind. After a while, he asked, "Did you really not like me at all?"

It was only now that Sheng Qian realized that she was still the Zhao Xiaowei who was humble and submissive when she was in school. Even though she had experienced so many storms in the entertainment circle over the years, like a proud queen in the eyes of outsiders, her heart was still the same as before.

The girl who blushed and had her heart beating because of his kiss, the girl who had been isolated by the girls of the whole school because of an unintentional action of his, he actually knew all about it.

But he couldn't like her, couldn't love her.

Even without Qiao Xuan, it was impossible for him to be with her.

"Stop daydreaming, how could I possibly like you?" Sheng Qian retracted his gaze, covering up the emotions in the depths of his eyes.

When Zhao Xiaowei heard his words, she was not disappointed, because she did not hold much hope in the beginning either. On the contrary, she let out a sigh of relief and reluctantly smiled: "Un, I know that I'm dreaming, but with tonight, I'm satisfied."

"Zhao Xiaowei..." Sheng Qian realized that something was amiss. Could she be planning to do something stupid?

Zhao Xiaowei gently took off his jacket, and said lightly: "Put me down here, I want to walk around by myself."

"Zhao Xiaowei..." Sheng Qian sighed, "Don't be so willful, it's the middle of the night, you're dressed like this and wandering the streets, what if you meet a bad guy?"

"Stop the car." However, Zhao Xiaowei acted as if she did not hear him, and said indifferently: "Since you can't give me what I want, then be more cruel to me, and be more heartless, and don't care about my life or death, I don't want to, I don't want to continue pestering myself into this one love affair with no results, let me go, Sheng Qian."

Actually, she should have already made up her mind to do this, but she kept harboring the thought that she got lucky time and time again. She thought that Sheng Qian would help her, so she still had a chance.

But if you don't love, then you don't love. Who can force themselves to do so? What you get with humble begging is only sympathy, not love.

Sheng Qian tightly gripped the steering wheel until he saw that she was about to push open the car door.

After parking the car by the side of the road, Zhao Xiaowei immediately stepped forward. Her evening dress had been cut, and in the warm and cold night, it looked exceptionally desolate.

She took a few steps, and the heel of her high heels was broken. She simply took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the street. A wave of cold quickly spread from the soles of her feet to her entire body.

Sheng Qian sat in the car and looked at her closely. He couldn't say what he felt, his heart ached, his guilt, and the struggle to tell her the truth.

If only there had been no such misunderstanding.

Sheng Qian watched as Zhao Xiaowei returned home before leaving. The bodyguard called him, saying that the few people had already taught him a lesson, and that the things they had snapped had been destroyed.

However, the next day, the news still showed pictures of them kissing in the parking lot. His face had been hit in the mosaic, and between his words, he was also criticizing Zhao Xiaowei for seducing men.

Thinking about it, the person who was secretly taking pictures last night, was probably hired by a female star from another company. She wanted to add insult to injury by completely forcing Zhao Xiaowei out of the entertainment circle.

Thus, early in the morning, Sheng Qian went to find Sheng Liang. No matter what, Sheng Liang was Zhao Xiaowei's boss now, he could not just sit there and watch.

"Why are you so nervous for her? Why don't you just stand out and clarify things for her?" Even if the photo couldn't clearly see his face, he could still recognize Sheng Qian's figure.

Besides, who else other than Sheng Qian could make Zhao Xiaowei take the initiative to kiss him?

"I'm not here to fight with you. Can you help me or not?" Sheng Qian's face also did not look good.

Sheng Liang looked at him and sneered: "Really? I don't think you're here to beg me."

Sheng Qian gritted his teeth, "Zhao Xiaowei getting blacklisted is not good for you either!"

"You still don't understand the entertainment industry. If you don't want to advertise, then do it. All the people in power see benefits. What does her reputation have to do with me?" Sheng Liang said lightly.

Sheng Qian did not care about this nonsense as she coldly said, "If it were Qiao Xuan, I don't believe that you would still say such things!"

"Of course, because she is my woman. If it were her, I would not let her bear the burden alone." Sheng Liang looked at Sheng Qian, pausing after each word, "If you are a man, you must learn how to take responsibility."

Sheng Qian tilted his head and muttered: "You don't know anything, but you speak quite easily."

If he stood out, it would be equivalent to admitting his relationship with Zhao Xiaowei. Zhao Xiaowei would definitely believe it to be true, and at that time, it would be simply impossible to get rid of him.

Even though he forced Sheng Qian to such an extent, he was still unwilling to let go. Sheng Liang knew that there must be some hidden secrets that others did not know about, since he never thought that it would be difficult for Sheng Qian.

"You don't need to meddle in Zhao Xiaowei's affairs, the company will naturally do the same. The one in trouble now is you, the ones who were crippled by you last night have already reported to the police, you should think about how to take care of the aftermath." Sheng Liang said casually.

Sheng Qian snorted in disdain: "They still dare to call the police, are they calculating that I won't be able to give them the evidence?"

However, all of this was not what Sheng Liang was concerned about. He was silent for a while, pretending to ask casually: "Recently, have you been going back to your dwelling?"
