Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss-Chapter 1871 - A Good Person
1871 A Good Person
Huo Yao was wearing a mask. She was dressed in a casual outfit. Her hair was done up in a loose bun with a few strands of loose hair falling at her ear. The Western-style outfit made her look laid back.
The staff sent her to the private room and left.
Liang Qiu was seated with his back facing the door. When he heard some noise, he turned his head. The moment he laid eyes on the tall slender young woman, a look of bewilderment emerged on his face.
At the base the other night, he did not get to see Huo Yao in person. He simply saw her quickly leaving from the distance, but he could tell she was a woman. Other than that, he was unable to see any features up close.
Liang Qiu watched as Huo Yao took a seat. Then, he removed his mask. For a moment, his face froze.
It was astonishing enough that she was a woman, but she was even such a beauty.
Was she even 20 years old?
Liang Qiu had once griped about her ID and age. He could sense his eyelids twitching just thinking about it.
Sometimes, people could unknowingly make fatal mistakes.
Liang Qiu cleared his throat. He raised his hand to straighten his collar to cover the tattoo on his neck. He straightened his back, opened his mouth, and wanted to greet her, but he went quiet thinking about what to call her.
Brother Bold Little Darling?
Bold Little Darling?
Liang Qiu’s forehead kept throbbing. He was unable to call her either. Just saying it sounded funny.
Huo Yao seemed to read his mind and raised her brow. “I’m Huo Yao.”
Liang Qiu paused for a second and said, “I’m Liang Qiu.”
Huo Yao nodded. “I know.”
Liang Qiu, “…”
Huo Yao leaned into the seat backrest gently. She did not seem distant at all and spoke like she was speaking to an old friend. “Thanks for the other day.”
Liang Qiu clearly was not as calm as Huo Yao. He picked up the cup, took a sip of its contents, and said, “You’re welcome. You showed mercy as well.”
Even though the mountain gate was made of an ancient-style mechanism and water-tight in terms of security, it was useless against powerful explosives.
Liang Qiu was always very observant.
Huo Yao smiled. “I’m a good person.”
Liang Qiu instantly went quiet.
She nearly blew up the base. Did she have some misunderstanding about what it meant to be a good person?
The private room door opened and the waiter sent in their coffee. After placing it on the table, the waiter stepped out.
“You know Mirage Base very well. You’ve gone inside before, right?”
Liang Qiu looked at Huo Yao. He thought about the base security recently and the woman who had infiltrated the base the other day. He asked quizzically, “Or rather, are you the woman that they are trying to catch?”
Huo Yao picked up the small spoon and stirred her coffee gently with her long fair fingers looking very elegant.
She shrugged, looking nonchalant. “Maybe.”
If she said maybe, then it must be true.
Liang Qiu suddenly looked at her with complicated emotions sweeping through his heart. He said deeply, “Aren’t you afraid I might be here just to lure you out?”
“Nope. You are not that sort of man.” Huo Yao spoke casually, “My eyes can see just fine after all.”
Hearing this, Liang Qiu just started to feel touched by her deep trust, but it instantly dissipated.
They were just online friends, so their friendship was exceptionally fragile.
Liang Qiu sighed softly. She finally sounded just like the Bold Little Darling he had known all along. Also, he did not feel uncomfortable listening to her.
Inside the private room, even though these online friends were meeting in person for the first time, the awkward atmosphere had disappeared.
