Quick Transmigration: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Became the Male Lead's Beloved

Chapter 224 The Infamous Young Lady 12

Ni Qing was a seasoned and experienced person. Even with a knife to her neck, she remained calm and asked with a slightly serious tone, "Are you sure you want to do this? You should know the consequences."

Zhou Lian's eyes flickered for a moment, then hardened again: "Death is not scary."

"Being hopelessly in love is terrifying," Ni Qing silently added to herself.

"How about this, you let go of me, and I'll make sure you get a stable, respectable job," she said listlessly after a moment's thought.

Zhou Lian was somewhat displeased. She was the one facing death, so why was she making demands of him instead?

Ni Qing wasn't worried at all that he would do anything rash. She glanced casually at the doorway and saw a figure standing there silently.

Bai Guanqing hadn't left yet; he was even leaning leisurely against the wall in the dark corner, arms crossed over his chest, lazily watching her, with an air of indifference.

The girl was a little annoyed; it was truly humiliating to be outmaneuvered by the gigolo she was keeping.

"Are you just planning to stand there and watch?" she asked bluntly.

Zhou Lian looked over, puzzled.

He seemed to vaguely recognize that person; he thought he'd run into him when he first entered, but...

He glanced at Bai Guanqing's bodyguard uniform.

He hadn't just remembered him; wasn't this the guard that the young lady had snatched back then? He hadn't forgotten that if he hadn't interfered that day, he wouldn't have been beaten fifty times and unable to leave the house for a whole month.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's you. What's wrong? Still too afraid to show your true face after all this time?"

He's just a servant; no matter how fast he tries to save someone, he can't outrun the knife in his hand.

But unexpectedly, even when the person was directly called out, he remained the same, his dark eyes calm and unfazed, showing no sign of being anxious to save someone.

He glanced at Ni Qing again; she was still staring intently at Bai Guanqing, but her eyes were clear and cold, devoid of desire.

Did they succeed or not?

If she had succeeded, Bai Guanqing would have been rejected long ago; if she hadn't, her expression was too casual.

He wasn't like this when this young lady was pursuing him.

Bai Guanqing remained calm and was not swayed by these few words. He didn't even look at the kidnapped girl, but Ni Qing could still read a hint of schadenfreude in his ambiguous eyes.

Zhou Lian became even more annoyed when he saw that neither of them wanted to talk to him.

“Ni Qing, aren’t you afraid this man is ugly? Putting aside the fact that he’s mute, you provide for his every need, yet he has no sense of responsibility whatsoever. Why keep him around as an eyesore?”

He was being a bit desperate and grasping at straws. Anyone who wasn't blind could tell from the man's smooth jawline and facial features that he was an extraordinary-looking man.

In the heat of the moment, the sharp dagger grazed her skin, and the bright red line of blood stood out even more against the girl's fair complexion.

The aloof guard seemed a little tired from leaning against the railing. He straightened up slightly, his eyes showing some irritation and a restless tone.

He must be sick to stay and watch the fun.

Ni Qing was oblivious to the subtle changes in the two men. She simply raised an eyebrow, intending to get them involved in something, otherwise they would be unsociable: "As long as you stay here with me, I am your master. Now that your master's life is threatened, are you planning to stand by and watch him die?"

Bai Guanqing tilted his head, his bangs obscuring his eyes.
