Chapter 177: The Weak Stepson of the Blood Clan vs. the Beautiful and Promiscuous Stepmother 21
Jiang Sheng choked up and said, "Come in by yourself. I can't open the door for you."
Hearing this, the door was slowly pushed open and Qi Xu walked in.
Unable to see Qi Xu's expression, Jiang Sheng could only smile: "I'm fine, I'm just too tired and need a nap. Sorry to have made you worry."
Qi Xu didn't respond, but continued to move towards the bed. His strange eyes, which could not be ignored, were shining with a mysterious and delicate light.
He didn't intend to say something caring, but just asked in a low voice: "Do you need light?"
Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his eyes curved: "Yes."
Qi Xu nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the window.
The heavy curtains were slowly pulled open, and the light from the gap gradually became larger until the entire room became bright.
Turning his eyes slightly to the side, Jiang Sheng could see Qi Xu's appearance clearly. He was still wearing a simple white T-shirt without any other colors and casual home trousers. He looked clean and pure.
When he turned slightly, the sunlight hit his snow-white hair. The white and almost transparent background was stained with some ripples due to the refraction of light and shadow. When he took a step, the ripples would flash to other parts of his body.
The next moment, he turned around as if coming out of the light and smiled at her.
At this moment, she just wanted to use the most beautiful words in the world to describe him.
"Are you okay now?" he asked gently.
Jiang Sheng turned his eyes away and found that Qi Xu's face was not very ugly. He frowned a little strangely.
I discovered last time that he seemed to be better able to adapt to sunlight than other vampires.
Unable to figure it out, she asked directly, "Don't you feel uncomfortable when you see the light?"
Qi Xu walked towards her with his arms hanging naturally at his sides.
"This level is tolerable."
Jiang Sheng was worried that he was trying to appease her, so he moved his fingers and asked him to leave quickly.
"It's okay, you don't have to humor me. If you feel uncomfortable, just go out. I'm actually fine. It's your dad who's exaggerating."
Qi Xu didn't say anything, he just pulled the chair next to him and sat down.
After his eyes swept over her body, he slowly untied the restraints on her fingers and wrists and asked casually, "Do you remember what happened last night?"
Jiang Sheng was thinking that he had good judgment. After thinking about it, he replied without any defense:
"Remember, it was all because I was too unguarded. I should have brought two bodyguards with me."
After that, she looked at him with some regret and said:
"I bought you a lot of electronic toys and other things, all of which were in that car. Now they are all gone. It seems that I can only take you with me next time."
The fingertips that fell on her wrist paused for a moment, and his blue eyes suddenly raised their eyes, with a hint of uncertainty flashing across them: "You... went out to buy me a toy."
Jiang Sheng blinked as a matter of course: "Yes, I wanted to take you with me, but weren't you a little angry with me before?"
After he finished speaking, he frowned as if he felt wronged: "Now I still don't understand how I offended you."
Qi Xu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and continued the movements of his hands.
"I'm sorry, I'm not angry, I just... don't want you to see me in such a mess."
Embarrassed?
Jiang Sheng thought about it for a while before realizing that he was referring to the beating by Qi Hanwu.
That's true. After all, she is an adult, and being beaten in front of her stepmother would indeed hurt her self-esteem.
"Forget it, I was too careless and didn't consider my own safety..."
After a pause, she propped herself up with the hand that he had untied, and looked at him seriously:
"Come to think of it, didn't you say that I have Qi Hanwu's aura on me, and that werewolves and vampires don't dare to touch me easily? Why is it that no one I meet is afraid of me?"
Speaking of this, Qi Xu quickened his hand movements, his eyes looked around unsteadily, and finally he spoke guiltily.
"Maybe... the person you met just happened to be the one who wasn't afraid of him."
"Really?" Jiang Sheng asked in confusion.
Qi Xu had already let go of her and stood up. Maybe it was because he was nervous, but he tripped over the stool at his feet, and left without even saying goodbye.
After recuperating for a while, Qi Hanwu said that they needed to discuss a solution with humans regarding the werewolf issue. Although werewolves had superpowers, they were outnumbered and could not manufacture weapons. All weapons were provided by humans.
Once humans are without weapons, there is no need for them to even resist.
So they had another meeting together, but this time it was held at Morton Manor.
Although Qi Hanwu told her not to come out to see Fu Jinchuan, Jiang Sheng still chose to eavesdrop because she was curious about the outcome of their meeting.
But because he was too close when he was eavesdropping, Qi Hanwu pulled him out from the corner of the stairs.
At that time, Fu Jinchuan was angry at Qi Hanwu's cold attitude towards her. She almost forgot where she was and accused him fearlessly: "You are not a gentleman and you are too violent to Shengsheng."
After hearing this, Qi Hanwu became even angrier, and with a wave of his hand he told Fu Jinchuan to get out.
Fu Jinchuan refused to leave, so Butler Qi kindly had him carried out.
However, what followed was Jiang Sheng's sad time. Qi Hanwu simply pinched her waist, carried her on his shoulders and walked towards her room.
"It seems that you have had a good rest recently. He can still miss you without meeting you."
Jiang Sheng quickly explained: "I just came out to eavesdrop and see how you guys plan to deal with the werewolves. Next time I see them, it will be easier for me to deal with them."
Qi Hanwu didn't hear a word he said, instead he glanced at her even more sharply.
"After thinking it over, I feel that I am too lenient with you. As long as you truly become a vampire, he will never miss you again."
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you thinking about all day long?"
His actions were forceful, not giving her any chance to resist, as if he had made it clear that he had to do this tonight.
However, what made Jiang Sheng even more desperate was that Qi Xu had not returned from school yet, and now there was no one who could save her.
Just before stepping into her room, Jiang Sheng grabbed the door frame tightly, but Qi Hanwu pulled it lightly and easily knocked it down.
At this moment, Qi Xu, carrying his schoolbag, came back and met the gaze of Jiang Sheng, who was about to cry because of despair upstairs.
His breathing stopped for a second, and his clear eyes were suddenly filled with a hint of anger.
Jiang Sheng was thrown onto the bed again. In desperation, she couldn't help but yell "Qi Xu!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew through the room, and Qi Xu, who had not yet had time to take off his school uniform, pulled her over.
Qi Hanwu's attack was in vain, and when he found out it was Qi Xu again, his eyes instantly burned with anger.
Jiang Sheng was held in his arms. After she reacted, she looked up. At this moment, Qi Xu was obviously angry. He was not forbearing as usual, nor was he afraid. He was just simply angry.
"Put it down." Qi Hanwu ordered coldly.
Qi Xu lowered his eyes, looked at Jiang Sheng, pursed his lips, and whispered: "She doesn't want to."
"I told you to let her go!" Qi Hanwu emphasized his tone again.
