Chapter 29: Lifted in Her Prince’s Arms

However, the designers and stylists around her were determined not to let An Ziqi escape, for they were worried that Xiao Moli would hold them responsible if An Ziqi were to run away.

In the ensuing confusion, An Ziqi felt someone push her from behind.

Her legs gave way, and she flew headlong into Xiao Moli who was not far from her.

Everyone gasped. In an instant, the backstage was eerily silent.

The group of designers from Huanyu were petrified and almost in tears.

Despite the media’s continuous reports of their CEO’s love scandals…

Everyone at Huanyu knew that their CEO had always hated physical contact with women.

Furthermore, An Ziqi was covered in paint.

This time, she had surely put them in a bind with no way out.

However, compared to them, An Ziqi was more distressed.

What the…? Who was the evil one that had pushed her from behind?

With shaking hands, An Ziqi supported herself on Xiao Moli’s body and tried to stand up straight.

But her right leg seemed to have a mind of its own and sent her a shooting pain.

“Ah!”

An Ziqi could not help but scream in pain. Her body, which had already straightened up, fell once again toward Xiao Moli.

One of Huanyu’s designers forcefully stopped her own scream and rebuked An Ziqi, “Do you have a death wish?”

At that, she reached out and was about to pull An Ziqi away.

Xiao Moli’s scowl turned darker as he shot the designer an icy glance.

Scared out of her wits, the designer quickly shut up and retracted her hand.

Although the crowd of people did not understand what was going on, no one dared to speak up.

On her part, An Ziqi felt crushed, as though her entire world had collapsed.

Putting aside the embarrassing things she had said and done the night before and focusing on what had just happened…

Not only had she soiled Xiao Moli’s clothes, but also she had fallen into his arms, not just once but twice in a row.

As she was contemplating whether to explain her actions, she suddenly felt her body being lifted off the ground.

Shocked, An Ziqi instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around Xiao Moli’s neck, not wanting to fall to the ground.

Although that was a natural reaction on her part, in the eyes of the people around her, it appeared that she had intentionally seized the chance to hug Xiao Moli.

All the women around her froze on the spot, their hearts instantly exploding with jealousy and hate.

That darned woman An Ziqi! She had the audacity to target their idol, reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck.

The key point was that he was carrying her in his arms.

Mr. Xiao had picked An Ziqi up like a leaf and carried her in his arms.

The women stared intently at An Ziqi, clearly wishing that they could tear her away from Xiao Moli’s arms and put themselves in her place.

Xiao Moli was oblivious to the reaction of everyone around them.

Instead, he carried An Ziqi to a stool nearby and sat her down on it.

Then, he knelt before her and reached out to remove the shoe from her right foot.

An Ziqi was stunned beyond words. It was as if 10,000 watts had gone through her.

Hastily, she used her hand to block Xiao Moli’s hands and smiled weakly.

“I…I’m okay. It’s an accident. Just a minor sprain.”

“Don’t move,” Xiao Moli spoke up in a surly tone.

Looking at Xiao Moli’s icy expression, An Ziqi decided to just obey and sit still.

Xiao Moli pulled her right foot toward him and removed her shoe.

His cute forehead furrowed when he noticed that her ankle was swollen.

With his fair, slender fingers, he pressed a few times in the area around the swelling.

“Ouch! That hurt.”

An Ziqi could not help but moan in pain and was almost in tears.

Darn it. Was this guy using the chance to take his revenge?

However, Xiao Moli’s persistent frown finally disappeared.

“No broken bones, but you’d need to apply ointment and rest it for a few days.”

That said, he reached out and once again picked her up in his arms.

“I’ll send you to the hospital.”

All the women in the crowd were by now spewing fire from their eyes.

An Ziqi, that darned woman! She must have done it on purpose, pretending to scream in pain to seduce Mr. Xiao.

And what infuriated them even more was…

James, who had been watching on the side, had noticed that Xiao Moli was about to take An Ziqi away. Smiling, he stepped forward and extended his hand to An Ziqi who was nestled in Xiao Moli’s arms.
