Chapter 244: Xu Qianli, Are You Hiding Many Things from Me?

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Xu Qianli, Are You Hiding Many Things from Me?

Xu Qianli had only called his cheap father-in-law, Ye Zhanhua, on a whim, hoping he would send someone to protect him.

He never expected that not only did Ye Zhanhua send someone, but he sent eight people!

And not just any eight people, but top-notch experts, all armed with guns!

Such treatment couldn’t be found anywhere in Zhongzhou City, not even by someone as influential as Zi Guangyu.

He had to admit, although Ye Zhanhua, his father-in-law, could be quite gruff, his heart wasn’t bad at all, and he really took care of Xu Qianli.

With these eight people protecting him, Xu Qianli wasn’t worried at all about his future safety.

Clearing his throat, Xu Qianli introduced himself first and then asked for the names of the eight individuals, quickly learning that their leader’s name was Qin Ran.

She wasn’t the tallest nor the most muscular, her presence wasn’t the strongest either, but her eyes were exceptionally sharp, and she exuded a chilling murderous aura that hinted she was no ordinary person.

Xu Qianli was extremely satisfied with the eight of them and unapologetically accepted their protection.

However, with so many people, he couldn’t keep all of them by his side. He discussed with Qin Ran that they would take turns on shifts, ensuring that there would always be two people with him at any time; the rest could rest and only come together when it was crucial.

Qin Ran approved of this arrangement.

They had just arrived in Jiang City and temporarily had no place to stay, so Xu Qianli had to make arrangements for them.

The first place that came to Xu Qianli’s mind was Yunding Villa.

He had already ’sheltered beauties’ there, Yu Xiaoqiao and Yu Xiaomeng, two top-level adorable sisters; adding a few powerful female bodyguards certainly wouldn’t be a problem.

And so, Qin Ran and another female bodyguard stayed outside the hospital room to guard, while the rest went to Yunding Villa.

Inside the room, only Xu Qianli and Liu Qian were left.

Xu Qianli noticed that Liu Qian’s face looked quite off, her eyes filled with a deep resentment as they fixed on him.

He gently kissed Liu Qian’s cheek and said, "Qianqian, why are you staring at me so oddly?"

"Hmph, and you’re still asking about it!"

"Do you have many secrets that you’re keeping from me?"

"I used to think I knew you pretty well, but today I realized that you’ve kept so much from me."

"Do you even consider me your woman? Why do you hide so many things from me?"

Liu Qian spoke with deep resentment, realizing today that she really didn’t know Xu Qianli at all. Only today did she understand how difficult Xu Qianli’s life in the official circles had been, even facing life-threatening dangers, and he possessed connections and a background unknown to her, like an enigma.

Xu Qianli gently held Liu Qian, softly responding,

"I do have many things I haven’t told you, but it’s not that I’ve been deliberately hiding them; I just haven’t had the chance."

"If you want to know, I’ll tell you everything, even the sleazy things I’ve done."

"I’m just afraid that once you know, the way you see me will change, and perhaps you won’t like me anymore."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian’s ears perked up, and she quickly said, "Is that true? Then tell me, what sleazy deeds have you done lately? Start with the worst one!"

"Are you sure you want me to tell you?" Xu Qianli seemed somewhat distressed.

"I must know!" Liu Qian insisted, her curiosity not allowing Xu Qianli to refuse.

"Fine, I’ll tell you. Is that okay?"

"Mmm, how should I put it, a while back, I went to the White Cloud Tea House with Wu Kai for some leisure time. Going there was not just about drinking tea, there was also... "

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Qianli stopped, finding it too shameful to continue, since it was indeed a disgraceful matter.

Liu Qian fired back quickly, "Don’t tell me you and that Wu Kai ran off to the White Cloud Tea House to play with women? Look at you, Xu Qianli, I can’t believe you did something like that. You’re disgusting, I’m so disgusted with you, you are not allowed to touch me ever again!"

Disgusted, Liu Qian tried to pull away from Xu Qianli’s embrace, but he stubbornly refused to let go.

Huffing angrily, Liu Qian continued, "I’m asking you, are your needs really that great that the women at home can’t satisfy you, that you had to go to the White Cloud Tea House and have fun with those kinds of women? Or are the women at the White Cloud Tea House just that good, making you unable to resist running over there?"

First, Xu Qianli took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few puffs before replying, "It wasn’t for the women at the White Cloud Tea House, but because I didn’t want to lose Wu Kai as a brother. At the time... "

Xu Qianli recounted the whole story truthfully.

At that moment, he had faced two choices, either agree to go with Wu Kai and enjoy themselves with women, or lose Wu Kai as a brother.

Upon learning what happened, Liu Qian’s eyes filled with complexity. Suddenly, she kissed Xu Qianli tenderly, then pressed her forehead against his, whispering gently.

"I know you men can’t avoid socializing and sometimes just playing along, I can understand that."

"I also know you men can’t help but do some bad things to get what you want, but I ask you, please promise me not to fall to a level where you dislike yourself."

"I know the political scene is far more dangerous than the battlefield; one wrong step and it’s all over, but you must maintain your integrity. It’s okay to play along on occasion, but you have to at least be a good person, some lines must never be crossed."

"I’m not trying to constrain you. You are my Liu Qian’s lover, my man. I love you, and I don’t want you to regret some things you may have done many years from now."

Liu Qian was full of tender affection; she loved Xu Qianli to death, only wanting the best for him, not for him to become a man who would do anything for profit.

"I promise you!"

Xu Qianli hugged Liu Qian tightly by the waist, grateful for having a woman who reminded him not to be unscrupulous for the sake of profit.

Moved by her words, Liu Qian’s delightful body fragrance and her fiery body made Xu Qianli’s heart race uncontrollably, slowly arousing him.

Sensing the change in Xu Qianli, Liu Qian gave his chest a light pat.

"You’re so naughty; how can you still be restless when you’re injured?"

"Shall I go to the White Cloud Tea House and find a beauty to cool you down?"

"Here, I’m asking you, was the woman you played with at the White Cloud Tea House very pretty? Did she have really big breasts, a super attractive butt, and was her skill in bed super amazing, making you very satisfied?"

"Tell me, tell me now, hurry up and tell me!"

Liu Qian relentlessly pursued the matter, insisting that Xu Qianli tell her.

With a mischievous smile, Xu Qianli put out his cigarette, flipped over, and pressed Liu Qian onto the bed, sealing her beautiful, non-stop chattering lips with a kiss.

After a series of passionate kisses, Liu Qian’s body became scorching hot, and she couldn’t care less about asking questions anymore. Looking at Xu Qianli with sultry eyes and panting, she said, "Xu Qianli, you are a downright bad man. The first time I saw you, I saw how you bullied women, utterly despicable. But who told me to like you? No matter what you become, whether bad or good, I still like you! You’re injured, no messing around now, leave everything to me."

As she spoke, Liu Qian made Xu Qianli lie down and, despite her shyness, slowly removed her dress, revealing her stunningly attractive figure.

"Xu Qianli, do I look pretty?"
