Chapter 574: Chapter 574: The Republic of Chinaâs Boudoir Beauty and Wife Descends the Hall vs. the Amorous Actor (28)
The air became instantly rigid.
Everyone except Shengyin was watching Young Marshal Huangfu with trepidation, fearing that if they werenât careful, they would be the ones to suffer his wrath.
In the midst of all the attention, Huangfu Qiâs right arm encircled Shengyinâs waist without moving, he bent over, and with his left hand, he scooped her up in a horizontal carry.
Shengyin: âŠ
âWhat are you doing?â Shengyin glared at him with her eyes.
âPut me down.â
Huangfu Qi turned a deaf ear.
âYoung Marshal, this is a forceful abduction of a decent woman!â Shengyin was furious, this man who seemed like a gentleman, how could he act like a hoodlum!
Huangfu Qi halted his steps, looked down, and his lips slightly curled up, âNow, do you know who I am?â
Shengyin was speechless: This man was not only a hoodlum but also petty!
She struggled hard but couldnât break free, tried again, still to no avail.
Alright, they were not on the same level of strength.
âYoung Marshal, what exactly do you want to do?â
Huangfu Qi carried her all the way to the car, threw her into the back seat, shut the door, and then sat down himself.
It was done in one fell swoop.
âIâve taken a fancy to you, didnât you say so yourself? Kidnapping!â
The car skid abruptly, and the driver in front, enduring Young Marshalâs icy gaze, wondered how to report this incident to the Grand Marshal and Madam at the earliest.
As for Shengyin⊠Shengyin was dumbfounded.
In this world, there actually was someone who could declare kidnapping with such righteousness!
She tried to reason with him, âYoung Marshal, listen to me, we were strangers until recentlyâŠâ
Huangfu Qi: âNot anymore.â
Shengyin: âIf I suddenly disappear, my family will be worried.â
Huangfu Qi: âDonât worry, it wonât take much of your time.â
Shengyin said warily, âYoung Marshal, what exactly do you intend to do?â
Huangfu Qi: âTake you back home to meet the parents.â
Shengyin: ââŠâ
She looked down at her appearance; her dress was dirty from rolling on the ground earlier, and her hair, needless to say, must be a vision of disarray.
With such an image, she was to meet his parents?
No, wasnât the point that he was so casual about bringing a woman heâd only met twice to meet his parents?
That was way too casual!
Shengyin: âYoung Marshal, such matters should be based on feelings. If youâre just looking for a shield, Iâm not suitable eitherâŠâ
Huangfu Qi turned his head and looked at her seriously, âI have a good feeling about you, no other woman has made me feel this way. Since Huangfu Qi has taken a liking to you, thereâs no other path for you. I donât mean to use you as a shield.â
This man had a very handsome side profile, and when he spoke seriously, he could easily charm any woman.
The catch was, not to listen to the content of his words.
Shengyin chose to remain silent.
In front of this man with bandit logic, nothing she said would matter.
The car entered a Western-style building surrounded by white carved fences.
Huangfu Qi pulled Shengyin into the house.
A lady in a dark green dress was playing with a cat. Upon seeing Huangfu Qi and Shengyin, she stood up in surprise, âTongfeng, who is this?â
Tongfeng, that was Huangfu Qiâs style name.
A roc spreads its wings and soars with the wind, reaching ninety thousand li in an instant.
It showed the great expectations Marshal Huangfu had for his son.
This lady of such an age and attire, addressing Huangfu Qi in such a manner, Shengyin didnât need to guess to know who she was.
Huangfu Qi, holding onto Shengyin, answered his motherâs question from before, âYour daughter-in-law.â
