Chapter 3: Chapter three, aboveboard
Author: The first love of a rainy dayMachine Translation
Qin Sheng slipped into the living room and hid behind the plush sofa to eavesdrop. She clearly heard second-aunt Zheng Min's voice.
She rolled her eyes then. Zheng Min's tone was like she was advising Gong Mochen to adopt a puppy or a hamster.
Her father was the son of her grandfather's ex-wife. Her mother died in childbirth. Her father died in a car accident on the way to the hospital to see her. She had been an orphan since birth and the whole family treated her as a jinx.
Gong Mochen was the first person she'd seen when she came into this world. He was also the only person who loved her. Truly loved her.
"Come out." Gong Mochen pressed his finger on his throbbing temple.
Qin Sheng crawled out from behind the sofa and looked at the man with a fawning face. "No one wants me. Why don't you continue to take care of me?"
Gong Mochen pouted. "Don't you know that you're supposed to wear clothes in front of a man?"
A ray of sunlight shone on the girl's body, illuminating her soft skin and curves. The white shirt faintly revealed all of her beauty beneath it. He forced himself to look away.
Qin Sheng tugged the man's shirt to her body. "D*mn... but am I not wearing this properly? Besides, when I was young, you changed my diapers and bathed me. Where have you not seen and touched me before? Oh Uncle, you have to be responsible for me if you've seen me naked!"
She poked at the man's chest, trying to provoke a reaction out of him.
Gong Mochen flicked the girl's forehead with his long finger. "You're 18-years-old. What are you thinking about?"
"I'm already a grown-up." Qin Sheng rubbed her forehead, trying to filter away the sting.
"And I'm ten years older than you," Gong Mochen said coldly.
"I don't think you're that old!" Qin Sheng's eyes widened like an owl and she looked at the man obediently, showing off her cuteness and batting her long eyelashes.
Gong Mochen's lips twitched. "I-I think you're young."
Then his face hardened and he said fiercely, "Let Nie Feng drive you back to your grandfather's house. If I see you here again, don't be cross at me for being rude!"
Qin Sheng bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. "Y-you want me to leave?"
'I won't leave, I won't leave, I won't leave,' she told herself. She wanted to see how far she could push him.

As night descended, Gong Mochen walked into the villa.
Nie Feng reported, "President, Miss Qin locked herself in the bedroom. I haven't been able to take her back to her grandfather's mansion."
Gong Mochen strode into the bedroom. His body was filled with a biting coldness as he kicked open the door. This was it now... The last straw had been severed.
Qin Sheng looked at the furious man in astonishment. This was the Gong Mochen she had never seen before. He was like a demon from hell.
"Throw her out now! Don't let Qin Sheng step into my villa or the company again!" Gong Mochen ordered his men coldly.
A few bodyguards walked forward. "Miss Qin, please," one of them said respectfully.
Qin Sheng's lips twitched and her eyes widened. She glared at Gong Mochen. "Why are you doing this to me? Why won't you let me stay! You're horrible!"
After saying this, she pushed through the bodyguards in front of her and ran out of the room. She would never go back to her grandfather's house. She would run away. Her only option.
'Run away from home, yes, run away from home,' she thought. She didn't believe that he wouldn't be anxious. That might make him understand.
Gong Mochen stood in front of the window and watched the girl run out of the villa. He turned around and said, "Nie Feng, pack Miss Qin's winter clothes and throw them to her!"
Nie Feng quickly agreed and ran into the walk-in closet to get Qin Sheng's clothes. There was a pile of them in a draw and hung up. Was he going to throw them or give them to her? What would be best?
The winter wind whistled and made Qin Sheng tremble. She regretted not bringing her luggage out. But even if she was frozen, she wouldn't go back and beg Gong Mochen for clothes. That wasn't her style.
"Miss Qin."
Qin Sheng turned around and saw Nie Feng who had been chasing her. Gong Mochen got someone to chase her so quickly?
She was delighted. She put her hand in her pocket, raised her head and asked, "He asked you to pick me up? He should come and pick me up personally!"
Nie Feng looked embarrassed. "The president didn't ask me to pick you up. He asked me to pack your clothes and throw them out to you. Miss Qin, get in the car. I'll drive you wherever you want to go."
To be honest, Nie Feng didn't understand what had happened between Qin Sheng and Gong Mochen. No matter what trouble Qin Sheng had caused, the president had never treated her like this.
He remembered when Qin Sheng was in primary school and was bullied and beaten up by a female classmate because she was an orphan. Gong Mochen brought him and a few other brothers into the school and blocked the girl at the school gate. They scared the girl so much that she immediately peed her knickers. Gong Mochen even forced the girl to apologize to Qin Sheng.
When she was in junior high school, Qin Sheng was late one time and the principal punished her. She had to stand at the school gate for an hour, shamed in front of her classmates.
In retaliation, Gong Mochen had driven to the school, thrown down a cheque and bought the establishment. He had fired the principal and told Qin Sheng she wouldn't need to worry anymore.
Even if Qin Sheng caused a riot at school, Gong Mochen would only ask her if she was tired. He had a soft spot for her, Nie Feng knew this more than some.
Qin Sheng's lips twitched. F*ck, even her clothes had been thrown out!
"Give me my clothes. I'm not going in his car!" she said stubbornly.
She grabbed up her luggage and left. She knew Gong Mochen very well. She wanted to anger him and make him regret what he had done. She wanted to get under his skin!
Nie Feng had no choice but to follow Qin Sheng in secret. He eventually stopped when he saw Qin Sheng walk into Chu Xia's house, one of her classmates.

The next night, the two girls walked into a nightclub, the sparkling lights, drunken revellers and booming music radiating around them.
"Qin Sheng, let's go back! I'm scared!" Chu Xia said.
"PFFT! What are you scared of? Our work-study programme is above-board!" Qin Sheng mustered up her courage. To be honest, she also felt guilty. A little...
"F*ck! Sister, our work-study program is above-board. The problem is, can the things you sell be classed as above-board?" Chu Xia was on the verge of tears.
This was the only job they had found after a full day of searching. For this job, they had even paid a 500 yuan deposit. If they couldn't sell the product for 500 yuan, they would lose all their money. And that was the most pocket money she had saved for a long time!
"F*ck, isn't the birth control product above-board? The country promotes the need to love life and prevent the spread of sexual diseases every day. The country should be doing what we're doing! Besides, if I don't earn money, what am I supposed to eat?"
"Didn't your uncle give you a black diamond card? Do you have any upper limit on it?" Chu Xia tugged at her work clothes. That d*mn boss still wanted them to wear work clothes, even for this profession.
However, these work clothes were like slinky pieces of cloth around their bodies. It was either too much of the top or too much of the bottom. A lose, lose situation. The clothes were far too revealing.
"I ran away from home! Even if you beat me to death, I won't use his money!" Qin Sheng said with conviction.
She looked around the nightclub. It was her first time entering this place, and she was a little dumbfounded, taken aback.
Her gaze swept across the hall and drifted to the single rooms in the corridor. "Let's go to the single rooms. The expenses are high in there. There's probably a princess waiting in one of them. She might need the birth control!"
Chu Xia almost vomited her lunch up. "E-entering the single rooms? There won't be any danger, right?"
"D*mn it, how would I know if there's any danger? We'll know after we take a look!" With Chu Xia by her side, Qin Sheng randomly picked a single room and knocked on the door.
"Sensei..." Qin Sheng's words instantly stopped, her voice fading out.
In the middle of the single room sat a mixed-race boy. He had thin eyebrows, brown-red hair, purple eyes, red lips, and a diamond earring in one ear. He oozed an elegant feminine beauty, but still held an air of manliness. He lounged lazily on the sofa as though he was a demon who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world.
A man hurried over and dragged Chu Xia and Qin Sheng to the purple-eyed man's side and sat them down. "What took you so long? Hurry up and drink with the duke!"
