Chapter 167: Everyone is Well-Aware of Who Cannot Be Touched

“I beg you to let me go…”

“Beg? If begging works, your family wouldn’t go bankrupt!” The man harshly grabbed her hair with a cold sneer. “This old man has been waiting in his room for so long, but it turns out you fucking ran away. Ruining this old man’s fun cannot be simply resolved by eighty-thousand yuan. You want your freedom back? Then asked the people around you. All the people who can come to Zi Jing Cheng are not lacking money. Try and see who will be willing to buy you? The price I’m offering isn’t high, ten times! How about it? Eight-hundred thousand yuan!”

Ling Xuaner wailed in despair, but her sharp cries only caused the crowd to point fingers at her as they whispered amongst themselves. None of them stepped forward.

The sound of her cries caused Ji Nuan’s body to tremble. The visions of her past life she had tried her best to repress flashed through her mind continuously, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Her heart felt as though it was about to jump out of her throat; she suppressed the feeling, unable to stop herself from turning her head back. She was about to push aside the crowd to shout that she would buy, wasn’t it only just eight-hundred thousand yuan? She will buy!

“I’ll buy.”

Suddenly, someone spoke up. However, the voice did not come from Ji Nuan!

It was Qin Siting.

Hearing these two words, Ling Xuaner raised her disheveled face up in disbelief. The instant she saw that it was Qin Siting, she burst into tears. Her cries were filled with sorrow and despair, but at the same time, it seemed like she had finally found a shred of hope. This complicated sorrow was difficult to describe.

At the same instant when Qin Siting spoke up, Shi Niange’s eyes moved straight to him and something appeared to have slowly broken in her eyes.

Yet, from start to finish, Qin Siting did not offer her a single glance. He coldly said, “I’ll buy her, aren’t you letting her go?”

The people who frequented Zi Jing Cheng Club were all people with status in the high society. The Qin family was one of the four large families in Hai Cheng. They naturally had heard of him before.

The man grabbing onto Ling Xuaner’s hair recognized that it was Qin Siting. He had to swallow back the curses he was about to deliver and asked in suspicion, “Young Master Qin, are you sure you want to buy her?”

“I won’t repeat my words.” Qin Siting’s gaze was gloomy and cold.

The man could only let go. The moment she regained her freedom, Ling Xuaner ran stumbling toward Qin Siting and threw herself forward. Qin Siting expressionless avoided her outstretched hand. He did not touch her and kept a distance from her, but he threw his coat toward the half-naked Ling Xuaner.

Ling Xuaner trembled from head to toe. She did not dare to initiate contact with him again but frantically wrapped the coat around herself. She then carefully hid behind him, instinctively seeking his protection.

The crowd began whispering, discussing if this Ling Xuaner was the one who was previously engaged with this Qin’s family’s young master. They did not expect that even though the engagement did not go through, this Young Master Qin would still offer her a helping hand after so many years.

Shi Niange was always watching Qin Siting. Even when Ling Xuaner ran behind him, her gaze remained fixed in his direction.

Yet, Qin Siting never once returned her gaze.
