The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1185 - 1184: Unrequited Love

"Hey pretty lady, this is the Helper Hall. Are you sure you don't want me to go in with you?"Tang Raoming knew it was redundant to ask, but he couldn't help himself.

"Yes."

"Yes?"

Tang Rao thought there was something wrong with his hearing.

"Not going in?"

Tang Rao quickly nodded, afraid the pretty lady might suddenly change her mind.

"Pretty lady, could you tell me your name first? We're here to do business, not to cause trouble. We should understand each other a bit, to avoid misunderstandings later."

Tang Rao was trying everything he could just to find out the pretty lady's name.

"Qin Qing."

The pretty lady announced her name.

"What, Qin Qing? Qin Fen's sister?"

Tang Rao blurted out.

"You know my brother?"

Qin Qing's gaze warmed up slightly at the sight of Tang Rao.

"Of course, I know him. We're quite connected. Last time, I was supposed to visit the Qin Family, but I was too busy. Your brother invited me several times."

Tang Rao's words were a mix of truth and lies. Did Qin Fen ever invite Tang Rao?

From the moment Tang Rao asked about Qin Fen's sister, Qin Fen had marked Tang Rao as an unwelcome acquaintance.

"My brother invited you?"

Qin Qing knew her brother well. She knew what kind of person he was and that he never invited people to their home voluntarily.

But being able to easily name her brother implied that this person might actually have some revolutionary camaraderie with her brother.

"Last time, I gave your brother a fifth-grade Elixir Pill and established a revolutionary friendship. Your brother has always been grateful to me. By the way, fifth-grade Elixir Pills, your family should be aware, right?"

Fifth-grade Elixir Pills?

Qin Qing remembered that it was precisely because of Tang Rao's fifth-grade Elixir Pill that the Qin Family had been quite stirred.

"I believe you."

Tang Rao had said so much earlier and didn't move Qin Qing, but the Elixir Pill managed to sway her first.

This truly is a cruel world.

"My name is Tang Rao. When we go in, don't forget about our relationship. Our relationship? Let's tell others we're husband and wife for now."

What?

Husband and wife?

Who wants to be married to Tang Rao? Don't ruin Qin Qing's reputation.

"I don't want to."

Qin Qing rejected without even thinking.

"Who are you people?"

Just as Tang Rao was about to persuade Qin Qing, a group of people suddenly appeared nearby.

"We are successors of the Great Unity Doctrine."

That loud slogan had stuck with Tang Rao.

"Who?"

The other party thought they misheard.

"I'm from the Kao Shan Sect, and this is my wife. We want to find some good fighters here at the Helper Hall."

Tang Rao seemed very familiar with this place?

Qin Qing's eyes sparkled.

"You've been here before, brother?"

It seemed that one of the people recognized Tang Rao.

"I indeed came once before, bought four and went back. Unexpected, brother's memory is so good. It's all so clear even from months ago."

Tang Rao had praised those brothers until they were too embarrassed to speak.

"Brother, I admire your style last time, so are you buying or renting today?"

Tang Rao was such a big customer that everyone at the Helper Hall wanted to close the deal with him.

"That depends on my wife."

Tang Rao wrapped his arm around Qin Qing. With so many people with more power watching, she didn't even have the courage to break free from Tang Rao's embrace.

"Qin Qing, do you say you're renting or buying?"

Since when did Qin Qing say she came to the Helper Hall to hire people?

"I'm here to see Bai Tang."

Qin Qing raised her voice, ensuring everyone clearly heard what she said.

"What, you're here to see Boss Bai?"

The people around them became unsettled as soon as they heard she was looking for Bai Tang.

"What do you want with our Boss Bai? What's your relationship?"

Qin Qing is a 'married woman', she couldn't possibly have a secret relationship with Bai Tang, could she?

"Just get Bai Tang out. He should know what our relationship is, shouldn't he?"

Qin Qing was in a foul mood, and the more she spoke of Bai Tang, the angrier she got.

"Then hold on, we'll report this first."

Some stayed to watch Tang Rao and Qin Qing, while one went to inform Bai Tang.

Bai Tang, upon hearing it was a woman, refused to meet at first, but when told there was a man with her, he got quite upset.

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Tang decided to come out to see the woman.

"Qin Qing, you even found this place. Not bad."

The Helper Hall boss said to Qin Qing.

With such a powerful aura upon his arrival, how could Tang Rao and Qin Qing compare?

"Bai Tang, don't you think you've indebted me?"

Where had Qin Qing's prideful demeanor gone?

Seeing someone who didn't even match a fraction of Tang Rao's elegance, she actually started crying.

What does this mean, openly humiliating Tang Rao?

"Hey, sister, what do you mean by crying in front of a man uglier than me? If you looked at me a bit more, you wouldn't cry."

Tang Rao tried to turn Qin Qing's head to let her see beautiful things more, but Qin Qing just cried harder.

"Why are you such a nuisance, following me everywhere? Do I owe your family money or something?"

Bai Tang treated this woman like a plague.

She was a real beauty, and yet even this beauty wasn't appealing?

"You said you'd come back for me. I waited three years, and you disappeared for three years. Was everything you said back then just to deceive me, to avoid me, to get rid of me, right?"

When Qin Qing revealed the truth, it felt like a knife cutting into her over and over again.

"Yes, I thought you'd have realized by now. Who told you to be such a fool, not even knowing that I've been playing you all along."

Did Bai Tang really say that?

"Bai Tang, do you think playing with a woman's feelings is truly enjoyable and fulfilling?"

If he didn't like her, he could have said so earlier, why say it now?

"Yeah, aren't women like you easy to deceive? There's no sense of achievement in tricking you, but if you weren't so bothersome, I wouldn't have deceived you, right?"

Tang Rao finally understood.

Qin Qing, this great beauty, wasn't single because she was young or overprotected by her family, but because she had always liked and waited for one man.

But it seemed the man didn't have any interest in Qin Qing at all.

"Sister, you're making yourself worthless for a jerk. Do you think that's meaningful?"

Even Tang Rao couldn't stand it. If Qin Qing remained devoted to the jerk, Tang Rao wouldn't have even tried to dissuade her.

"It's meaningful, indeed!"
