Chapter 1618: Chapter 1637: Don’t Be Angry
And Huo Beijiang was truly angry.
He was very, very angry because of Nan Fei’s boldness.
So he suppressed the thought of apologizing, pressed his lips together coldly, his deep eyes ignited with anger, making his presence astonishing, forcing everyone around to become cautious. Some even found it hard to breathe.
Lu Jin looked on worriedly, torn between pleading with the boss on behalf of his sister-in-law or advising the boss to calm down.
Knowing how satisfying it is to lose one’s temper for a moment, afterwards...
Afterwards, the boss might face the punishment of kneeling on a washboard.
Lu Jin imagined the boss kneeling on a washboard in his mind, shivering uncontrollably. The image was too vivid; he dared not imagine it further. He thought it would be wise to prepare a washboard made of steel, as a wooden or plastic one might be snapped by the boss.
"I didn’t mean it." Nan Fei felt Huo Beijiang’s anger was inexplicable, but she decided to apologize first and explain her reasons. "Can you not be angry?"
Huo Beijiang turned away from Nan Fei, remaining in a state of cold arrogance, refusing to calm down.
"I’ve already told you, I’m not that fragile. I’ve managed to come all the way from the country to Kannaya, overcoming many dangers, haven’t I?"
Because she couldn’t see him, she’d never know how much impact her words had on Huo Beijiang. His face turned pale, almost transparent under the sparkling starry sky; his sculpted handsome face appeared ghostly. The eyes turned away from Nan Fei revealed pain and self-blame that almost drowned him.
Yet even at this moment, he didn’t forget to control his emotions, even his heartbeat.
Because he couldn’t let Nan Fei notice.
Huo Beijiang closed his eyes briefly, speaking with an emotionless tone: "You did make a mistake this time, and it must be corrected."
"I..." Nan Fei felt a surge of anger and was just about to say something when Chen Jing suddenly screamed sharply: "Watch out!"
Nan Fei heard the wind beside her ear, followed by the subtle sound of a hand touching a gun. It was from Ding Jiaqi’s direction! Bad! This thought flashed like lightning in her mind, and her mind went blank, the world seemed to fall silent at that moment.
Nothing!
Everything in Nan Fei’s mind turned blank.
Ding Jiaqi was about to shoot her. Although she was skilled, she couldn’t match Bei Jiang and the others, the special forces; her speed couldn’t compare to that of a bullet. Although her speed fell short, Bei Jiang’s did not.
Bei Jiang’s reflexes were too fast; no one could stop him.
Nan Fei didn’t need to think to know that Ding Jiaqi wanted to kill her, Bei Jiang would certainly act rashly to save her.
Like using his body to block the bullet.
No!
Such an event was something she absolutely wouldn’t allow to happen.
These thoughts flashed through Nan Fei’s mind like lightning, without needing to ponder or hesitate, she had already chosen the reaction most beneficial to herself. In the instant Ding Jiaqi pulled the trigger, she lunged toward Huo Beijiang.
Because only before Ding Jiaqi fired could she have time to dodge the bullet and prevent Bei Jiang from rescuing her.
Just as Nan Fei’s body touched Huo Beijiang, the sound of the bullet compressing the air clearly reached Nan Fei’s ears.
She couldn’t help but allow a very faint smile to appear.
