Chapter 1443: Chapter 1442: What Are You Doing? Let Go of Me Right Now!

"Young Master Xi, there’s no way you’d kill her. If you really wanted to kill her, you would’ve long since..." ahem... taken action.

Besides, if you kill her, the people from Eastern Europe will storm the Readington Family’s base right away!

Gideon Linwood has followed Eastern Shaoxi for a full ten-plus years; no one knows better than him what kind of man he is...

But this time, no matter how he tried, he couldn’t figure out what was going through his head; Gideon had no idea what exactly was going on between him and Eva Nightingale.

Back then Eva said she was pregnant, but that was just an act...

So why didn’t Eastern Shaoxi expose her!?

He even gave her the chance to play hard to get—

Gideon said so much, but Eastern Shaoxi only eyed him up and down, then said coldly, "Gideon, Beishan is short one coal miner. You can go dig some coal."

Gideon: "..."

Coal mining!???

Damn it, he’s at least an international-level special forces elite, and he’s supposed to go dig coal? Just thinking about it is humiliating!

He immediately dropped to his knees: "Master Xi... Master Xi, please show mercy, I won’t dare again!"

"How about we just forget the coal mining gig..."

"From now on I swear I’ll never run my mouth again. I’ll take you to find Miss Eva Nightingale right away."

The last sentence finally made Eastern Shaoxi’s expression ease a bit: "Let’s go!"

"This is the last time!"

After he finished, his face clearly said, "If I’d known it’d come to this, why bother in the first place."

"Yes, yes, Master Xi, I’ll never dare go against your wishes again!" Gideon bobbed his head with a fawning smile, cold sweat pouring down.

Eva was just wearing a simple long dress, carrying her phone and a champagne-gold Chanel bag.

Sichuan restaurant.

On the second floor, she sat by the window.

At eight-thirty in the evening, the Sovereign Capital’s night was already ablaze with lights, brilliant and dazzling.

The neon at night was especially beautiful; it shone in through the vintage-style windows, casting light across her delicate face.

She was eating hotpot alone.

She’d left in too much of a rush today; she and Carla Carr had just met up, so they hadn’t even had time to exchange phone numbers. Plus, it was already nighttime now, so it was even less possible to go looking for Carla.

Sitting by the window, she zoned out, with no idea that right beside her, a group of men in black was walking over, Eastern Shaoxi surrounded right in the middle of them.

Two or three months had passed; the bandages on his body had already been removed.

Eastern Shaoxi had changed into a black suit, perfectly tailored, and that face of his was strikingly handsome.

If he wasn’t angry, like this, he was honestly a feast for the eyes!

But so what? Once he lost his temper, it was the same as ever; no matter how good-looking he was, when his mood flipped he could scare everyone into backing off three steps.

Eva stared at the hotpot, feeling no appetite.

She simply picked up the milk on the table and started drinking.

Suddenly, her wrist was gripped in a dark hand, and a male voice, low and bewitching like a spell, sounded: "Eva Bennett!"

That voice!

That voice!?

Eva’s mind went blank for a second, then she turned her head. When she clearly saw who it was, she instinctively recoiled.

"You... aren’t you..." dead!?

That night on the Marwell Islands, just after getting off the plane he...

Afterward, Eva kept having nightmares about it.

"So you really were hoping I’d die?"

"No... Don’t touch me... let go, don’t touch me!" Eastern Shaoxi’s grip was strong, but she still managed to yank her hand back with some effort, only to see the man calmly sit down across from her.

"What are you doing!?"

"Eastern Shaoxi, you’re not welcome here!"
