'You're the schemer and definitely a manipulator too!' Rong Qi cursed inwardly. She suspected that it was Sheng Jian's petty revenge for her earlier comment about her mother being a manipulator.
Rong Qi hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly allowed herself to be lifted. Her face wore an expression of discomfort, as if humiliated. Sheng Jian effortlessly hoisted her into his arms, light enough to make him question his own strength.
Sheng Jian paused, then grumbled, "Who asked you to play the saint, rushing to save that worthless man? Feel humiliated now? Serves you right! Let's see if he'll even be grateful to you. Hmph..."
As Sheng Jian walked, carrying Rong Qi and complaining, he realized she wasn't retorting as she usually would. He stopped and heard a soft sigh escaping her lips. With a resigned sigh of his own, he quickened his pace, carrying her toward a VIP ward.
"Madam has gone missing," said Xu Yi.
