Chapter 1484 - 1484 My Husband Is A Jealous Lover
1484 My Husband Is A Jealous Lover
Twilight looked at Qiao Xi with burning eyes. He suddenly let go and kicked Du Ming away. His voice was filled with anger. “Scram!”
Du Ming fell to the floor and panted crazily. He was clearly about to lose consciousness, but after hearing Twilight’s words, he still relied on his last bit of strength to crawl out.
Twilight slammed the door of the lounge and slowly walked toward Qiao Xi. His tall figure shrouded her in his shadow.
Qiao Xi sat on the sofa and slowly raised her head to meet his cold eyes. He bent down slightly, his hot breath spraying all over her body as she gasped slightly. “Miss Qiao, why are you in danger every time I see you?”
!!
Only then did Qiao Xi come back to her senses. Twilight was talking about the time He Wenxian sent someone to knock her down. It was indeed dangerous that time, but the person in danger this time was not her but Du Ming!
“I saved you twice.” Twilight’s light brown eyes looked straight at her. “Can’t you protect yourself?”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled like a fox. “Mr. Twilight, you seem to care a lot about me?”
“I’ve smelled your work. You’re the candidate for the champion of this compet.i.tion. As the top judge, of course, I have to take your safety seriously.” Twilight pursed his lips. “Miss Qiao, you’ve offended quite a number of people. I’ve seen you in danger twice.”
Qiao Xi stared straight at him. He was so close that even the breath he exhaled was so similar to Gu Zheng’s. It was clear and carried a trace of charm, making her heart beat violently.
Only Gu Zheng could move her heart. He must be Gu Zheng, but why was he hiding it from her?
Qiao Xi was silent for a long time before she chuckled. “Mr. Twilight, thank you for saving me again. I’ll treat you to a meal as a form of repayment for your kindness last time.”
“Be serious.” Twilight’s tall body trapped her on the sofa, and his voice was extremely serious. “I’m not joking with you. Why aren’t you protecting yourself?”
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. When she saw his icy-cold eyes, she realized that he was really angry.
Gu Zheng had always been gentle to her and never lost his temper. He was probably only so serious with her at times like this. She shrunk her neck in fear and said in a trembling voice, “You… Why are you so fierce to me?! I was just in the lounge. It was Du Ming who opened the door with the key and wanted to plot against me. I… I didn’t want this to happen either!”
“After Du Ming entered, you could have run out to ask for help. Why did have him close the door?” The man looked at her with a gloomy gaze.
He knew that Qiao Xi had the ability to deal with this man, but when he saw the door close, his heart that had always been calm and composed seemed to have stopped beating. He was afraid that she would be harmed.
He had warned Qiao Xi time and again not to risk her life, but she turned a deaf ear to him. Hence, his tone was very serious at this moment.
Qiao Xi replied with a guilty conscience, “Du Ming is a judge. He came to the lounge to see me. If news of this gets out, outsiders will think that I seduced a judge. Even if I win the compet.i.tion in the end, I won’t be acknowledged.”
“I’m here.” Twilight’s voice softened a little. “Miss Qiao, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you suffer.”
At this moment, Qiao Xi was already sure that Twilight was Gu Zheng, but she still pretended not to know. She widened her eyes in surprise. “Huh? Didn’t they say that Mr. Twilight likes Kang Qingzhi a lot? But Kang Qingzhi and I are like fire and water! I’m very curious about who you’ll help.”
Gu Zheng felt like he had been tricked. He could not appear here as Gu Zheng, so the situation forced him to wear a mask to save Qiao Xi.
He did not want to hide it from Qiao Xi either, but he had his own difficulties. Even if Qiao Xi suspected something, he could not admit it for the time being.
Gu Zheng stood up and looked away. “Miss Qiao, I don’t want to see such a thing again.”
Qiao Xi blinked and looked at him with a puzzled expression. “Mr. Twilight, why do you always appear by my side in the nick of time? Don’t tell me you’re following me?”
Gu Zheng took a few steps back, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
Qiao Xi continued to play dumb. “You’re so concerned about me. Do you like me?! But I’m already married, and my husband is a jealous lover. Once he finds out about your existence, I really won’t know how to explain it.”
There was a moment of silence…
“Mr. Twilight? Say something! Nothing happened between us. We can’t let my husband misunderstand!”
Gu Zheng’s eyes were filled with helplessness as he pursed his thin lips. “Miss Qiao, since you’re fine, I’ll leave first.”
