Chapter 1157 - 1157 1135 Extra Story Seventeen (17)

Chapter 1157: 1135, Extra Story Seventeen (17) Chapter 1157: 1135, Extra Story Seventeen (17) Xi Yu looked at the man who had suddenly appeared, her face paling in an instant, her smug smile completely gone.

How did he get here?

The message she got stated that he wouldn’t be in Beijing these days, so how did he suddenly show up here?

Lin Juan and the others saw Quan Tianqi and their faces turned ashen as if they had seen a ghost.

Before they could react, Quan Tianqi strode forward.

It wasn’t until he stood in front of Xi An’an that he stopped.

His gaze fell on the woman’s lips, which were oozing blood, and his dark eyes instantly turned cold. He gently pinched her chin, his fingertips wiping away the startling crimson.

“Does it hurt?”

Xi An’an was dazed for a few seconds before responding to the man’s deep voice, her nose tingling slightly, “It hurts.”

Quan Tianqi’s eyes momentarily steadied, “Why didn’t you fight back?”

“There were too many of them,” she said with a touch of grievance.

She was no match for a group of people attacking her, even if she had extraordinary abilities.

Quan Tianqi, hearing this, flickered with a chilling intent in his eyes, “Come in.”

Before his voice had faded, six men dressed in robust gear charged in with precision and order.

“Master.”

With this show of power, Xi Yu and her company’s expressions turned to panic.

“Ten slaps each.” Quan Tianqi’s voice was icy.

“Yes.”

Before Xi Yu and the rest could regain their senses, the thunderous slaps had already landed on their faces.

“Smack—”

“Ah.” Lin Juan screamed out, turning to run, but she was caught within two steps and continued to receive her share of slaps.

Xi Yu’s hands were pinned behind her back, the men in black acting efficiently, landing all ten slaps without missing a single one.

Their actions were swift and precise.

They didn’t even leave her room to cry out in agony.

Xi An’an watched as Xi Yu and her group had their cheeks swollen from the hits, her eyes glistening.

“This…”

Xi Yuan received the news and hastily arrived, his face turning solemn at the scene inside the room.

“Dad, save us.” Xi Yu cried out upon seeing Xi Yuan as if she had seen a savior.

Seeing her inflamed and bloodshot cheeks, Xi Yuan glared at her, angry and disappointed, then turned to look at Quan Tianqi.

“Mr. Quan, I apologize, I’ve failed to control them. Please, you’re a magnanimous person, don’t stoop to their level.”

Quan Tianqi spared not even a glance at him, looking down at the person beside him, his fingertips tenderly caressing her bruised cheek.

“Are you hurt anywhere else?”

There was no doubt that if Xi An’an said she was, Xi Yu and the others would have to pay even more.

Xi An’an glanced towards Xi Yu and her group, Lin Juan dazzled by the slaps, genuinely frightened, “An’an, we were wrong just now. Your aunt apologizes, can you forgive us just this once? I promise there won’t be a next time.”

The others also looked towards Xi An’an with tense faces.

Xi An’an indifferently shifted her gaze, “Get out of my sight, now.”

A shadow of darkness flickered in Xi Yu’s eyes, the fiery pain on her face igniting the jealousy in her heart.

One day, Xi An’an, I will get back at you for this.

I swear.

“Now get out.” Xi Yuan, seeing Xi An’an relent, barked at Lin Juan and her cohort in irritation.

Xi Yu and the others scampered out, the air instantly feeling fresher.

In a moment, only the two of them were left in the room.

Xi An’an hung her head, her fingers twisting her hem.

“Xi An’an, why is it that every time I see you, you’re in such a sorry state, huh?” Quan Tianqi crossed his arms and looked at her with a deep gaze.

Xi An’an remained silent, cursing in her mind, she didn’t want to be this disheveled either.

Suddenly, Quan Tianqi gripped her wrist, Xi An’an raised her head to see the back of the man’s head.

“What are you doing?”

Quan Tianqi was silent as he pushed open the bathroom door, pulling her inside.

“You, what are you doing?” Xi An’an stammered nervously.

Quan Tianqi arched an eyebrow, his fingertip gently lifting her chin, “What do you think?”

Xi An’an shrank her neck, turned her head to avoid his fingertips, and shifted the topic, “How come you’re here?”

“If I didn’t show up, what would you have done if you were bullied?” Quan Tianqi leaned in, hooking his arm around her, drawing her into his embrace.

“Why didn’t you call me if you needed help?”

“Quan Tianqi, you…” Xi An’an’s cheeks warmed, and the more she struggled, the tighter his hold became.

“Can’t look me in the eyes?” Quan Tianqi teased with a smirk, “Am I that fearsome to look at?”

“Let go of me.” Xi An’an’s lower lip trembled, her eyes darting away, refusing to look at him.

Quan Tianqi, “Answer my question first, and then I’ll let go.”

“I owe you so many favors, how would I ever repay them?” muttered Xi An’an softly.
