Chapter 194: Chapter 184 Who Dares to Touch My Woman Again

Gu Qili stared blankly at the handsome man leaning on the desk, lost in thought as if he had forgotten her breathing presence in this cramped space.

"Mr. Tang." Since Mickey and Uncle Mi were still under his control, Gu Qili didn’t dare to provoke him and spoke cautiously, "How should we handle this? We can cooperate."

At that, Tang Tianyou regained his sharp gaze, looked at her for a while, then suddenly leaned over and stretched out his long arm to take her phone from her pocket.

Gu Qili stretched out her hand, wanting to snatch it back, but hesitated and gave up, enduring it!

He swiftly dialed a number using her phone, and shortly after, his own phone began to ring.

After all this, he returned the phone to her and lightly said, "It’s been handled."

"Huh?" Gu Qili hadn’t understood what just happened when Xiong Da knocked and entered, looking somewhat panicked: "Lord Tang, Mu Shuoqian is here."

Upon hearing Mu Shuoqian’s name, Gu Qili almost jumped up excitedly, he had finally seen her distress message and come to rescue her.

Tang Tianyou raised his eyebrows slightly: "What is he doing here?"

"What do you think?" As this chilly voice fell, Mu Shuoqian, with a stern face, appeared at the door, his face gloomy, fierce and sinister, exuding a bone-chilling coldness like a bloodthirsty Rakshasa.

Seeing him, Gu Qili almost cried with relief. Petrified earlier, she now felt strength flood her body. She leapt from the couch and hurried toward him.

Mu Shuoqian extended his right hand, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his embrace, examining her carefully before hugging her tightly with one arm. He didn’t speak, but the warmth from his body comforted Gu Qili’s restless heart.

Tang Tianyou watched this scene, his profound eyes darkening a few shades.

What was her relationship with Mu Shuoqian? Why were they so close?

However, he quickly shifted his gaze, regaining his composure: "Young Master Qian gracing us with your presence, what brings you here?"

Mu Shuoqian gave him a glance and, holding Gu Qili, turned to leave.

Xiong Da, by the door, quickly blocked their way, his face stern: "Young Master Qian, this is Lord Tang’s territory, not a place where you can come and go as you please."

Gu Qili immediately tightened her grip on Mu Shuoqian’s arm, turning back to Tang Tianyou, "You just said, it’s been taken care of."

Tang Tianyou met her accusatory gaze with a smile: "Indeed, it’s taken care of. Xiong Da, step aside."

Xiong Da then quietly moved aside.

Mu Shuoqian maintained his composure as if daring anyone to actually stop him.

"I thought you came because of Chen Jiu." Tang Tianyou leaned against the table behind him, slowly smoking, casually blowing a ring of smoke.

Mu Shuoqian paused in his steps and without turning back coldly chuckled, "If that’s your wish, I don’t mind helping you achieve it."

"Even if you help him redeem this casino, I still have ways to take it back. Helping someone like him isn’t worth it," Tang Tianyou extinguished his cigarette, leaning back against the table, hands braced on the surface, "Young Master Qian wouldn’t make such a loss-making deal."

"Whether I make this deal or not, you better manage your men. Whoever dares to touch my woman again, don’t blame me for turning hostile," Mu Shuoqian coldly said, a slight smirk on his lips as he left with Gu Qili.

Tang Tianyou watched their retreating figures disappear, picking up a recently assembled photo from the table and peering at it closely, her startled expression also appeared lovely.

What should I call you?

Little Gu? Little Qi? Little Li?

Maybe Little Qi sounds nicer.

That settles it then, Little Qi.

Outside, Mickey and his dad were anxiously waiting, and both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two walking out together.

Mickey’s dad was also scared earlier, messing with him was one thing, but threatening his daughter truly spooked him. If it weren’t for Mickey knowing some moves, they would be in a worse situation now.

Mickey’s dad stood there despondently, Mu Shuoqian passing by without pausing suddenly coldly said: "Stop letting Chen Jiu bother her, or else you’re on your own."

Mickey’s dad’s head hung even lower.

Mickey immediately spoke gloomily, "Dad, what did you do again? Are you that close with Chen Jiu? You stick up for him so much, but when there’s trouble, he’s nowhere to be seen, and you still let him find Qiqi? Dad, wake up, there’s no true friendship between a boss and an employee in this world, don’t be foolish anymore. Haven’t you learned your lesson from this incident? If Mu Shuoqian hadn’t come, have you thought about the consequences?"

"Alright, daughter, stop it, dad knows he was wrong. One day, let’s invite Qiqi to our home and I’ll apologize to her face-to-face," Mickey’s dad said, his face full of remorse, which made Mickey reluctant to scold him further.

"I’ll take you to treat your wounds. If mom sees them back home, she’ll worry. As for Qiqi, I’ll explain it to her."

"Hmm." Mickey’s father immediately became obedient.

Gu Qili and Mu Shuoqian got into the Maybach 62 parked outside. As soon as the car started, more than ten cars followed behind.

It was then she realized the grand fuss she had caused. If Mu Shuoqian found even a single hair missing on her, today’s issue wouldn’t have been resolved so simply.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, she couldn’t help but hold the man beside her even tighter, filling her heart with heavy happiness.

"Right, do you have a problem with that Tang Tianyou?" The atmosphere between them upon meeting was tense, as if there was a deep feud.

"Keep away from Tang Tianyou in the future."

"Is he a bad person?"

"Am I a bad person?"

Gu Qili reached out and touched his face, not mincing words, "Sometimes you are pretty bad."

"For example?"

After reaching Jingshan, the cars that had been following them finally left one by one.

Yuan Yi parked the car at the front gate, then went to open the Range Rover Evoque.

Gu Qili, looking at the now empty rearview mirror in the Maybach, suddenly remembered the sachet she bought on the street.

After buying it, she put it in the drawer and nearly forgot about it.

Soon, Mu Shuoqian was standing in front of the car door, watching her kneel on the seat, her agile little hands skillfully tying a string of red sachets to the rearview mirror. The tassels at the end of the sachet sway gently with the wind, faintly giving off a mild scent of lavender.

"Does it look nice?" She turned her head to look at him, her face animated as if she had accomplished a great feat.

Mu Shuoqian said, "It looks nice."

"The girl selling the sachets said that it could ensure safety."

"They believe in that stuff?"

"Of course, who doesn’t want to be safe?" Gu Qili climbed out of the car, and Mu Shuoqian naturally helped her down, "Believing in these things a little won’t do any harm."

He said, "Your belief is enough for me."

Yuan Yi parked the Range Rover in the garage and then went to lock it, and he immediately noticed the new ornament dangling in front of the windshield. A street stall’s item, no matter how delicate, hanging inside a car worth millions seemed like a children’s toy.

Moreover, Young Master Qian doesn’t like having too much decoration in the car, besides the necessary seat cushions and such, he doesn’t even have a pillow.

Just as Yuan Yi was about to park the car properly, Xiao Ran came over. He obviously saw the mismatched sachet hanging in the Maybach, pointed at the sachet, and then pointed at the house: "The lady hung it, right?"

Yuan Yi chuckled, "What do you think?"

Xiao Ran thought, luckily that ugly sachet wasn’t hanging in his car. The lady’s taste is not bad, it’s just that the price difference is quite big, only Young Master Qian wouldn’t mind.

"Assistant Xiao, you’ve come just in time." As soon as Xiao Ran entered the door, Gu Qili stuffed a blue sachet into his hand, "I bought an extra one, here, it’s for you."

Xiao Ran felt like he had accepted a hot potato, his smile a bit stiff, his fears had just been realized.

"Make sure to hang it up, it ensures safety." Gu Qili waved her hand at him and went back to her room while biting an apple.

"What are you waiting for, go hang it up." Mu Shuoqian said as he walked out of the kitchen with a cup of water.

Xiao Ran studying the sachet in his hand suddenly had a thought, "Young Master, in TV dramas, women always gift sachets they embroidered themselves to the men they admire. Although this sachet isn’t made by the lady herself, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for her to gift me such a thing?"

Mu Shuoqian was stunned for a moment but quickly snatched the sachet from his hand with a cold expression.

Fuck, of course it’s inappropriate.

Xiao Ran’s hand was empty and he felt relieved.

He placed the files he brought on the coffee table in front of him, "There’s a problem with this project, you might need to go there personally."
