Chapter 14 Where Did You Go Yesterday

• Muqing hesitated briefly. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath before turning around to face the man while pretending to be nonchalant.
• She did not expect herself to stumble into Qi Chenjue's firm chest as soon as she turned.
• Muqing's heart skipped a beat when she felt that rock-hard muscles mixed with the slippery sensation.
• She instinctively wanted to step backwards due to the fright, but a powerful arm held her waist before she could do so.
• He tightened his arm slightly causing her soft body to stick close to his well-built figure. The slippery sensation of his body soaked the Muqing's clothes as well.
• Qi Chenjue had no intention to let go of her.
• He lowered his gaze as his dampened hair covered part of his pensive eyes. He appeared to be more mysterious in that half-hidden look. Qi Chenjue asked Muqing. “Why are you looking for me?”
• “Uhm... It's just that....” Muqing nudged at the man in front of her. “Uhm... Can we put some distance between us? It's easier to talk that way.”
• Muqing stammered with her scarlet-flushed cheeks.
• Qi Chenjue smiled impishly and let go of her.
• He casually rested himself on a recliner placed beside the bathtub and took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep puff before exhaling the smoke......
• The smoke lingered around the hazy bathroom. Qi Chenjue's charming facial features appeared sexier through that thin veil of blurriness.
• “Speak. Why are you looking for me?”
• “I want to go back!” Muqing cut to the chase.
• “Back? Qi Chenjue laughed. “Back to where? Back to the loving home that belonged to Xie Tiansheng and that woman?”
• Mockery filled Qi Chenjue's eyes.
• His words were like a heavy blow to Muqing's heart. She slumped her shoulders in defeat and mumbled in a soft voice. “What else can I do if I do not return to that place? Do I have to give up my own home to them? That's the only.... place I can go...”
• Muqing consciously avoided calling that place her home during the second time. She had a home before that consisted of her father, stepmother and sister, Xia Munuan. But she could no longer call that place her home anymore....
• And the place that she thought would be her home was obviously leaving her as well....
• Her speech stunned Qi Chenjue for a moment. His deep blue eyes seemed to have fallen into deep thoughts and he seemed depressed for some unknown reason.
• Home. What a sensitive word!
• “Then you should just go.” Unexpectedly, Qi Chenjue did not ask for her to stay.
• Muqing was shocked. Then she crouched down on the floor and hugged herself, she shook her head in a daze and mumbled to herself. “I can't go back now... I no longer have a place that I can call home...”
• Qi Chenjue stared at her with his pensive eyes as clarity washed over her.
• “He had changed the security combination again, and he'll never reveal the password to me anymore. That place had become his home with that other woman....”
• “Xia Muqing!” Qi Chenjue called out her full name without raising his voice, but he sounded genuinely mad.
• Muqing tilted her head and looked at him with reddened eyes.
• “You don't even deserve to be my slave with that pitiful amount of courage that you have!” Qi Chenjue fixated a disdainful look at her.
• Muqing teared up after he spoke. “Qi Chenjue, I had never said anything about wanting to become your servant!” Muqing was angered.
• “You, Xia Muqing, are the only person that dares to yell at me. You dared vent your anger at someone like me, but not Xie Tiansheng?”
• Qi Chenjue's words took Muqing by surprise.
• “Let's be frank. You're not lacking the courage to face Xie Tiansheng. You're just not willing to do so.” Qi Chenjue smirked cruelly. “Then you are the one that brought this to yourself, Xia Muqing. You stooped so low that you've allowed others to walk all over you and locked you out of your own house!”
• “That's enough, Qi Chenjue!” Muqing got up from the floor with tears in her eyes as she shouted angrily at him without any restraint.
• Qi Chenjue got up from his recliner as well, he gazed downwards at Muqing with his height advantage and spoke. “Xia Muqing, you're just a woman that has failed miserably in life. No wonder Xie Tiansheng does not love you.”
• Qi Chenjue turned around and left the bathroom after he spoke.
• Muqing stood before the bathtub as she stared at Qi Chenjue's leaving figure from behind. She clenched her fists tightly as tears blurred her vision....
• The next day, Qi Chenjue arranged for his personal MPV to send Muqing to her company.
• Muqing did not expect herself to be met with Xie Tiansheng's cold expression as soon as she got out of the car.
• He fixed his piercing gaze on Muqing and said, “Where did you go last night?”
