100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 489 None of them are fuel-efficient lamps

Xiaoqiao’s head was swimming with black lines; that comment was...

She could talk about it now that she had recovered?

The reason she dared to say it in the first place was precisely that she hadn’t recovered; otherwise, he would have devoured her, leaving nothing, not even scraps!

She understood it all. Gu Hangshen might have seemed to be joking around with her casually on the surface, hiding his unease in his heart, just to keep her from worrying.

Xiaoqiao took his hand, "Gu Hangshen, you’re an intellectual, not a national athlete. Leave the fighting and killing to your subordinates. As long as you can walk and take strolls with me, that’s enough. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

In short, I’ll take care of all the heavy lifting at home from now on. I’ll protect you if we encounter muggers on the road. If your face doesn’t recover, consider it a convenience for me, so don’t you dare let your mind wander, understand?"

Gu Hangshen chuckled, kissing her cheek, "Mmm, baby, you really give one peace of mind."

Xiaoqiao immediately felt a surge of pride, "Of course! You are mine, after all! It’s only right that I protect you!"

Even now, living a surreptitious existence under the cover of darkness, the thought of having you with me makes hell feel like heaven.

Of course, with Gu Hangshen’s quietly amorous nature, he would only ever think such sentimental words, never say them out loud.

"Have Leng Tou come in! We need to discuss some things while you’re still here."

Xiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, "Alright, but you must rest after we’re done."

"Understood, dear wife."

"..." Her face turned red. That was definitely flirting.

That night, Xiaoqiao slipped away under the cover of darkness.

Long Yan was already at the designated spot waiting for her, and upon seeing her, he excitedly started talking, "Huo Yandong’s mole has been scrambling to find your detention location the past few days. We caught several because they were too noisy, haha, that old man must still be clueless about where I hid you!

But, I’m curious too, where exactly did you go? So secretive, not even telling Qin Yao!"

"You know I can’t say, yet you still ask!" Xiaoqiao replied, devoid of patience, her mood soured by the recent separation from Gu Hangshen.

"Tsk, tsk, just by your tone I can tell someone is sexually frustrated!"

"..."

The next morning.

It wasn’t just Qin Yao who arrived, but Huo Yandong himself came to demand her release.

Long Yan, who normally seemed harmless, could be more sly than anyone when he wanted to be.

Whether it was people or things, as long as there was a benefit to be had, he would definitely exploit it to the fullest.

This event, which seemed like a prank and a spur-of-the-moment kidnapping, first and foremost, fiercely slapped Huo Yandong’s face; secondly, it flushed out several moles; and the third, and most important point, was to force Huo Yandong to back down, admit defeat, and sue for peace by returning the arms market he had snatched from Long’s gang.

Huo Yandong had already done too many unprecedented and even principle-breaking things for this sudden mysterious woman, which would inevitably lead to the loss of his people’s hearts if it continued.

This time was merely a fuse; with a little maneuvering from Xiaoqiao in the future, it could be another spectacle of trying to win a beauty’s smile, a play where warlords compete, a nation, and a city overturned!

What kind of person actually uses this tactic against their own biological father? Sure enough, with the same blood flowing in their veins, neither member of this father-daughter pair was a pushover.

And, of course, the last benefit was swindling a universal promise from Xiaoqiao.

A hostage should look the part; Xiaoqiao was now dragged out by Long Yan’s men, hands bound behind her back, mouth sealed with duct tape, disheveled and in a sorry state, her hair a mess, clothes torn and tattered, her face haggard.
