Chapter 712: Kidnapped

Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

The motorcade headed for the hotel.

The first car was the Pei family’s car. Pei Jiao and Qin Zhuoning sat in the second car.

Ever since they got into the car, Qin Zhuoning had been carefully tidying Pei Jiao’s feather skirt. Pei Jiao was very embarrassed. “Brother Zhuoning, get someone to follow behind me and help me tidy my skirt later.”

“There’s no need to ask someone else to do this.” Qin Zhuoning had already tidied up his feather skirt and looked at her gently. “As long as I’m here.”

Pei Jiao thought about rejecting him. At this moment, Qin Zhuoning said, “It’s more convenient for me as I’m closer to you.”

He had a point, so Pei Jiao did not refuse again. The car drove on the wide road, still a distance away from the hotel. Qin Zhuoning knew that Pei Jiao had woken up early today. Although she had spent some time choosing a gown, her face was visibly tired.

He moved closer to her unobtrusively and said, “Do you want to take a break?”

He wanted her to lean on her shoulder.

“Then remember to call me when we get there.” With that, Pei Jiao raised her hand and yawned. She wanted to force herself to stay awake, but after Qin Zhuoning said that, she seemed to be even more sleepy.

“If you’re a guest, I won’t necessarily call you when we arrive, but the protagonist today is the two of us. I’ll definitely call you when we arrive. Don’t worry.” Qin Zhuoning slowly pressed his shoulders together. “l can lend you my shoulder as a pillow.”

Pei Jiao shook her head. “No, I’m fine just like this.”

An almost imperceptible look of disappointment flashed across Qin Zhuonings eyes.

Less than two minutes after Pei Jiao closed her eyes, the sound of Harley came from outside. The sound wave rose and fell, making Pei Jiao, who was not curious, open her eyes and look out of the car window.

The scrawny man was wearing a helmet and riding an ultra-cool Harley, keeping the speed level with her small car. The man glanced into the car from time to time. There was amusement in his eyes under the transparent goggles.

The Harley’s voice was so loud, and the man in the car was exceptionally cool. It was difficult for Qin Zhuoning, who was beside Pei Jiao, to ignore him.

Instinctively alert, Qin Zhuoning reminded the chauffeur coldly, “Speed up and get the convoy behind to stop him.” He thought the man riding the Harley was Wei Yu.

“There’s no need to speed up. Let him follow.” Pei Jiao smiled brightly. “He’s my friend.”

Qin Zhuoning thought it was Wei Yu, but when he heard that he was her friend, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He did not know if it was because he had been too tense for the past two days, but he kept feeling that Wei Yu would snatch Pei Jiao away on the day of the engagement, so when he saw someone dressed like this, he subconsciously thought that Wei Yu was intercepting her.

At this moment, Qin Zhuonings expression was much more relaxed. He asked, “It’s your friend from Xingzhou, right?”

“Yes.” Pei Jiao nodded.

Last night, she had called Beike and asked him to attend her engagement with Qin Zhuoning. In the end, Beike said that he was not free and could not come. After she said that it was a fake engagement, Beike changed his words. “It depends. I’ll come over when I’m done.”

Pei Jiao only replied with two words: “Damn tsundere.”

Today, Beike still came and followed the convoy. Clearly, he had been here when Pei Jiao got into the car. Pei Jiao raised her hand and leaned against the car window. She raised her voice and asked, “Did you bring the gift money?”

“l didn’t bring it.” Beike turned to look at her. “Be careful not to expose yourself.”

Pei Jiao looked down at her chest. She was not exposed at all. This gown was super compatible with her figure. She puffed out her chest. “That’s the style.”

Beike replied, “How ugly.”

Pei Jiao glared at him. How dare he say that she was not good-looking? She shouted indignantly, “You look bad today too.”

From a distance, she could see the smiling eyes under the Beike helmet. But at this moment, something happened ahead. The steady car gradually stopped.

The Harley that Beike was riding was parked on the parallel line beside Pei

Jiao’s car. Pei Jiao looked forward and asked curiously, “Why did you suddenly stop?”

Qin Zhuoning comforted her. “It’s fine. I’ll go down and take a look. Stay in the car and don’t come down.”

Pei Jiao nodded obediently. “Okay.”

As Qin Zhuoning got out of the car, Beike also took off his helmet. His hair fluttered in the wind. He raised his hand to smooth it back, then got out of the Harley.

If Qin Zhuoning could not recognize Beike just now, then now that Beike had taken off his helmet, he could only recognize at a glance that Beike was the same person who often walked with her. Just as he had guessed, this person was from Xingzhou.

Since he was here, Qin Zhuoning was even more at ease to go forward and check on the situation.

After Qin Zhuoning left, Beike carried his helmet to Pei Jiao’s car. He placed one hand on the edge of the door and looked down at Pei Jiao in the car. “I

threw a huge order and didn’t accept it. I specially came to attend your engagement ceremony. I can’t be so unlucky, right?”

Pei Jiao said, “What’s so unlucky?”

Beike raised his chin in front of him. “It looks like a car accident. The traffic police are here.”

Pei Jiao did not expect to encounter a small accident. “1 hope it’s not a big problem.”

Beike naturally hoped so too. He bent down and leaned in front of the car window. With a serious expression, he praised, “You’re quite beautiful today.”

Pei Jiao smiled smugly. “How beautiful?”

Beike said without thinking, “Like a bird.”

Pei Jiao:

Beike: “A bird with green feathers all over its body.”

Pei Jiao scolded him with a smile. “What can you expect from a hog but a grunt?”

Beike laughed. “By the way, did you not check the calendar for your engagement?”

“Not really,” Pei Jiao said belatedly.

Beike clicked his tongue. “Just because it’s a fake engagement, you skipped the checking!

Pei Jiao thought for a moment and felt that Beike’s words made sense. Even if it was a fake engagement, she should have looked at the date. Look, she had met with a car accident when she went out!

Beike changed his grip on the helmet. “I’ll go take a look at the front. Don’t follow me out of curiosity, lest you drop a feather.”

Pei Jiao could not be bothered with him and rolled up the car window. She did not know how long she would have to wait. Pei Jiao closed her eyes and prepared to sleep for a while. She might be at the hotel when she woke up.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhuoning had already figured out the reason for the traffic jam. It was indeed a small car accident. Someone was injured, but no one died. It was fortunate. It wouldn’t take more than ten minutes for the accident to be cleared.

Qin Zhuoning went to greet them and asked them to settle it as soon as possible. When he returned, he saw the man with the helmet walking over.

Beike was the first to ask, “When can we clear it?”

“A few minutes,” Qin Zhuoning answered with a frown. “Why are you in front?”

Beike: “To join in the fun, of course.”

“l came to the front to check on the situation. It’s because you’re there that I can leave in peace!” Qin Zhuoning said in a low voice,

Beike raised his eyebrows. “What are you worried about?”

Qin Zhuoning had a bad feeling and immediately turned back. Beike had yet to realize the seriousness of the matter. He snorted and put on his helmet. After turning around, he leisurely turned back.

However, Beike, who had returned, did not see Pei Jiao. He only saw Qin Zhuonings dark face and… the feathers scattered on the ground!

The smile on Beike’s face suddenly disappeared. His first thought was that it was over.. The beautiful bird had been taken!
