Chapter 649: Love Above All Chapter 8 It’s Time to Go to Bed!

Gu Xiaoxi could smell the savory aroma of the food from afar.

She strode forward and, upon seeing the meat on Quan Shaoqing’s plate, drooled with longing. "I want to eat, I want to eat..."

Quan Shaoqing nodded.

Jin Xiao took the order and had a serving of food delivered to Gu Xiaoxi.

Afterward, she sat across from Quan Shaoqing and began devouring the meat in large chunks.

"Gu Xiaoxi!"

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoxi mumbled, her mouth full of meat, her words unclear.

"Didn’t your father teach you any dining etiquette?" Quan Shaoqing put down his utensils, casually picked up the red wine from the table, and looked up at Gu Xiaoxi.

"My father? He died a long time ago." As soon as Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, she realized that wasn’t quite right. Looking up at Quan Shaoqing, she emphasized, "No, I mean he abandoned me a long time ago."

"Then where is your family from? What’s your father’s name?" Quan Shaoqing asked again.

"I don’t know!" Gu Xiaoxi said, feeling that something was off—she was already dead.

This place had nothing to do with her previous life. Moreover, she had no memories of her own, so what was she to do?

"Wait, why are you asking these questions?" Gu Xiaoxi stopped eating, her gaze wary as she stared at Quan Shaoqing.

"Just getting to know you. After all, you will be my person in the future. Of course, your identity has to be clean," Quan Shaoqing continued.

Gu Xiaoxi cut another piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewed a few times, and continued, "If I must say, I also don’t know where my family is. I don’t know my father’s name, and even less about the kind of world I am in."

"Were you an idiot before? You don’t even know your own home!" Quan Shaoqing didn’t believe her for a second.

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes flitted about, scanning the people around her. Biting her lip, she realized that her previous explanation did sound somewhat illogical.

But how could she explain it to them?

"Let’s put it this way! I come from another world—meaning, after dying, I came back to life in someone else’s body. And, to make matters stranger, I look exactly alike and have the same name as that person. I know you won’t understand, but I really am not lying to you."

On hearing this, Quan Shaoqing stared at Gu Xiaoxi for quite a while. According to her explanation, was the foolish miss of the Gu family from Country A, and this sharp-witted woman who was as cunning as a rabbit, actually the same person?

It did explain everything! It cleared up his doubts.

"So, have you found my family?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

"Of course!" Quan Shaoqing said, continuing to eat.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi became interested, "Then tell me, who am I?"

"Eat first! After the meal, we should discuss the matter I mentioned last night."

Gu Xiaoxi clearly saw a faint smile at the corner of Quan Shaoqing’s mouth, one that was positively wicked. A bad feeling suddenly struck her. "What are you planning to do?"

"You said you weren’t even seventeen years old, I believed you. But my information shows that you’re already twenty this year."

"So what does that allow?" Gu Xiaoxi immediately put down her utensils, her hands defensively covering her chest, full of seriousness and wariness.

"Time to serve in bed! I can’t let my ten million go to waste," Quan Shaoqing said with a stern face. Clearly, he was in a good mood; even with a cold expression, he didn’t seem dangerous.

Gu Xiaoxi felt as though lightning had struck from a clear sky!

Wasn’t it supposed to be a transmigration drama where she’d be of similar age or younger than the original owner?

How did she end up transmigrating into a body three years older!

But she looked no different from her real self!

Gu Xiaoxi was so scared that she lost her appetite.

Suddenly, she thought of something. "Ah! Is my family wealthy? Will my mom and dad, or my brothers and sisters, come to save me?"

"That’s highly unlikely!" Quan Shaoqing ate his meal, finding teasing Gu Xiaoxi as enjoyable as playing with a cute little pet.

"Why?"

"Because they still don’t know that you’re in my hands."

Gu Xiaoxi’s heart instantly turned cold. Hoping for rescue seemed futile.

As for serving in bed—

She was firmly against it!

Without even proposing to her or expressing his liking, if she let a man sleep with her, wouldn’t she be selling herself short?

"You don’t want to stay with me? I’ll give you delicious food, drinks, and fun things in the future," Quan Shaoqing looked up at her, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Psh!" As if she were three years old and could be lured with a lollipop to follow him. "Be honest! If you want to serve in bed, you have to truly fall in love with me. Or propose to me, otherwise don’t even think about it."

Quan Shaoqing’s meat-cutting paused. Truly fall in love with her?

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but scoff, "Do you even know what true love is?"

"I don’t!"

Gu Xiaoxi said, feeling that it would take another two servings to satiate her hunger. She waved a hand toward Jin Xiao, "Two more servings, please!"

"Are you transformed from a little pig?" Quan Shaoqing was speechless.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t be bothered with him, she needed to eat her fill for a good escape.

Afterward, only the sound of cutlery clashing could be heard in the dining room.

Clearly, both of them had fallen into deep thought.

Jin Xiao stood to one side, feeling the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Knowing Gu Xiaoxi’s special identity, could Quan Shaoqing possibly fall for her?

But on second thought, that would be impossible! They had only met the night before, and though they slept together, it wasn’t in the same bed!

Even if one were to like someone, it wouldn’t happen this quickly.

After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi walked on the deck, enjoying a bit of breeze while admiring the beautiful sea.

However, she was very curious, this ship had been moving all night and still hadn’t docked!

Where was she being taken to?

A series of questions she couldn’t make sense of, so she decided not to think about them at all.

As long as she wasn’t going to starve, it didn’t matter where she was!

At this time, in the office on the second floor of the ship’s cabin.

Quan Shaoqing sat in the boss chair with a cold expression.

Jin Xiao didn’t know what he was thinking, but out of curiosity asked, "Young Master Quan, you can’t possibly like her, right? She’s A-country’s fiancée, and in two months, she’s going to have a grand wedding."

"What if something had happened last night? Could the engagement be annulled then?" Quan Shaoqing said emotionlessly.

"My lord! You should be glad that nothing happened last night. According to the legend, she’s none other than Mr. President’s prized daughter. Even a fool would marry her and take care of her for a lifetime. If something had happened between you two, we would have attracted endless trouble. By then, not only you, but even the old man wouldn’t be able to manage the situation."

One should know that A-country is the world’s foremost powerhouse among over five hundred nations, with incomparable military might and wealth.

More than half of the people at the International Center are from A-country. Even the founding investment group belongs to them.

The Quan Clan, despite having influence in both the underworld and the upper circles worldwide, still cannot compare to A-country.

Quan Shaoqing rested his hands on his thighs, leaning lazily back in his seat, and after thinking carefully with his head tilted back, he said, "Go make a phone call, connect to A-country’s presidential office. Just say that we have news of Gu Xiaoxi."

"That’s more like it!"

Jin Xiao went to find the phone number.

Half an hour later, the call connected.

Quan Shaoqing put down the information he held about A-country, about Bai Yaxuan.

Bai Yaxuan could be described as a legendary figure. A graduate from the world’s most prestigious university, he had served in the military, spent several years as a commander, been a company CEO, and created countless wealth for A-country.

Most importantly, he was young and handsome!

He was the prince of women’s hearts across the globe, blessed with extraordinary intellect and talent, high emotional intelligence. Nobody could find fault in what he had done.

But this time!

He wanted to see if Bai Yaxuan really liked Gu Xiaoxi, or if there was another hidden agenda!

The call connected, and a man’s voice came through.

"May I know who this is, who truly knows the whereabouts of my fiancée?" The caller’s voice carried unmistakable concern.

After hearing this, Quan Shaoqing instinctively felt unhappy because this was not the outcome he desired.

"I am Quan Shaoqing! Mr. President, taking time from your busy schedule to entertain my call is indeed an honor."

The voice on the other end paused for two seconds, evidently checking his information.

"I know who you are now. As long as she can return safely, I can agree to one of your requests."

"I didn’t expect her to be so important to you. Have you thought this through?" Quan Shaoqing’s mouth revealed a sly, cold smile.

"As long as it’s within your power to ask, I can satisfy you."

"You said it!" Quan Shaoqing took a deep breath, "She was purchased by me from the black market. She is now safe. My request is very simple, the Quan Clan wants to establish its headquarters in A-country. If you can approve this, by tomorrow morning, I will deliver her to the port of S-city."

"Fine!"

"I want you to recognize the Quan Clan’s presence and become our supporter," Quan Shaoqing continued.

"I agree!"

The caller agreed to his terms without even a moment’s hesitation.

...After hanging up the phone.

Quan Shaoqing sat in his chair, silent for a long time, and said coldly, "My father bribed countless people and spent billions, but could never accomplish this. Today, I did it so easily. Jin Xiao, tell me. Is Gu Xiaoxi really that important to Bai Yaxuan?"

"Obviously, our conditions are not something that can be measured by money. He agreed without a second thought," Jin Xiao still found it unbelievable.

No, he had to prepare the contract. When the time came, they would exchange it for the person.
