Confirming that there was no one outside, Queen Qi's tense nerves relaxed, and she slumped down.
"Um, Queen Qi, it's a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding." Lin Hai waved his hands quickly in defense.
Qi Weiwei remained silent.
"Um, my fault, please don't beat me to death." Lin Hai made a mournful face.
Qi Weiwei still hung her head low, her face burning hot.
The atmosphere suddenly froze to a peak.
After a long while, Queen Qi suddenly asked in a soft voice: "Lin Hai, do you have a girlfriend?"
Lin Hai was stunned.
This question! This question! Could it be...
Was Queen Qi planning to pin this little misunderstanding on him and make him take responsibility?
That's not logical.
One would say that Queen Qi, with her straightforward personality, definitely wouldn't be like this.
Lin Hai prayed in his heart, Queen Qi, please don't bite down on me and refuse to let go.
"Cough, that, I mean, Queen Qi, what do you mean?"
Lin Hai dared not answer directly.
"In a situation like this, you... you wouldn't be irresponsible, would you?" Queen Qi's voice was low and weak.
Lin Hai nodded dryly.
"Also, also, you and I, oh..." Queen Qi's voice grew even softer.
"Uh..." Lin Hai was at a loss.
"Anyway, I don't care, from now on you have to take responsibility for me." Queen Qi's words became slightly more assertive.
Lin Hai was completely stunned. What situation was this? Take responsibility?
It was just a misunderstanding, and nothing inappropriate or out of line had happened.
He hadn't even touched her.
It was an incident as pure as pure could be.
"Anyway, I am yours now." Queen Qi added another jab.
What was this misunderstanding? Lin Hai didn't know what to say anymore.
Happiness came a little too fast, but it seemed like he was getting more and more in emotional debt.
"Well, you should rest early, and under these circumstances, I think we shouldn't take things any further. We can talk about anything else tomorrow, okay?"
Lin Hai's voice was gentle.
Qi Weiwei obediently sat in the bathtub and nodded.
"Right, get some rest early tonight, remember to cover yourself with the blanket properly, don't catch a cold, or I'll have to take you to the hospital." Lin Hai instructed.
Qi Weiwei nodded again, her big eyes stealthily glanced at Lin Hai once before immediately averting them, utterly embodying a demure woman's stance.
...
Early the next morning, Lin Hai rubbed his bleary eyes, stood up from the sofa, and stretched out after a big yawn, only to notice that there was an extra towel blanket on him.
He paused for a moment, sniffed the scent on the towel blanket, and Lin Hai couldn't help but feel warmth inside; the smell was of Queen Qi.
After he had fallen asleep, Queen Qi was actually worried about him getting cold, how touching.
"Lin Hai, come and have breakfast, I've prepared some milk for you."
Queen Qi's voice came from the dining room.
"Goodness, a transformation this quickly? The tough girl turned into a graceful lady?"
As Lin Hai sat down at the dining table, Queen Qi quietly took a seat next to him, placing milk, eggs, and bread before him.
"Where's Xiaoya?" Lin Hai didn't see Mrs. Ouyang and asked, puzzled.
"President Ouyang seemed to have something urgent this morning and left first."
After saying this, Queen Qi lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Hai.
"Oh." Lin Hai nodded, his heart bursting with joy.
Placing a piece of bread on Qi Weiwei's plate, Lin Hai said, "Here, eat up, be good."
"Mhm." Queen Qi obediently nodded.
For her, this was the first time in her life that she began a genuine romantic involvement with a man.
The usually domineering Captain Qi, who dared to charge fearlessly through gunfire and rain of bullets, was now flustered, as if her heart was pounding with a large rabbit inside, making her feel panicky and apprehensive.
Queen Qi, looking at the bread Lin Hai placed in her plate, felt sweetness in her heart, experiencing for the first time such care from a man.
"That, Weiwei, I really am not an underwear pervert." Lin Hai without shame changed his address casually as he spoke.
"Mhm, I believe you, Lin Hai." Qi Weiwei blushed, the first time a man had affectionately called her Weiwei.
Inside, Lin Hai was already exceedingly smug, nearly humming a tune.
He had finally cleared his wrongly accused name.
They say a woman in love has a significant drop in IQ, and it seems not at all wrong, at least for Queen Qi.
Qi Weiwei looked at Lin Hai's profile, scrutinizing him seriously, and for some reason, she suddenly thought Lin Hai was indeed handsome, unsure if this was just her perception.
Noticing Lin Hai looking at her, Queen Qi shyly turned her head away.
Lin Hai discovered that even the tips of Qi Weiwei's ears were blushing.
Tsk tsk, Queen Qi actually had moments of shyness, and when she was shy, she was especially charming.
Just as Lin Hai was about to tease her further, Qi Weiwei's phone suddenly rang.
Damn the phone, always interrupting at the worst times! Lin Hai wished he could devour it.
Taking the opportunity to escape from Lin Hai, Qi Weiwei stood up to answer the call.
"Captain Qi, there's trouble. A bank robbery has occurred, the criminals are armed, several hostages are under control, including the newly appointed female vice mayor Tao Xia and Youming Ya Group CEO Ouyang Xiaoya."
The voice on the phone was hurried, with a mix of background noise.
"Immediately send SWAT and snipers as reinforcements, get the negotiator on it, and ensure the safety of the hostages!" Queen Qi commanded decisively, resuming her majestic aura as the leader of the police force.
"Yes!" The call ended with the hang-up.
Qi Weiwei said to Lin Hai, "I have to go."
"I'm going with you." Lin Hai stood up as well.
"No, it's dangerous!" Queen Qi firmly rejected, and before leaving, added, "You are my man; I can't let anything happen to you! Promise me you'll wait at home for me to return!"
"That's not acceptable; you underestimate me, Lin Hai; how can I let you face danger alone?" Lin Hai stood up, arguing back.
A trace of emotion flickered in Queen Qi's eyes, this man actually cared for her.
After a moment of hesitation, seemingly struggling internally, Queen Qi decisively rejected Lin Hai's offer.
"Lin Hai, I've received special training, the criminals are vicious robbers, not something an ordinary person like you can handle, just wait at home obediently." Queen Qi firmly stated.
Lin Hai's heart trembled, looking at Qi Weiwei's sincere eyes, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt.
"No, you're a girl; how can I possibly let you go on a dangerous mission alone!" Lin Hai's masculinity flared up again.
Looking at Lin Hai at this moment, a slight moistness appeared in Queen Qi's eyes, but the strong woman she was, she quickly regained her decisive demeanor.
"Lin Hai, wait for me, promise me, don't be rash, you're just a security guard, you're not equipped to face real danger."
"Remember, you're the future boyfriend of this Queen; I have a responsibility to protect you!"
Queen Qi was actually very moved inside; she had feared that Lin Hai might not be a responsible man.
But now, Lin Hai's decisiveness, determination, and concern had made her heart very sweet.
For such a man, even if she got hurt, it would be worth it.
Queen Qi left, and Lin Hai's ears still echoed with her words: You are my man; I can't let anything happen to you.
"If you regard me as your man, then you are my woman, and I, once a King of Soldiers, how can I watch you rush into danger alone?"
After mumbling to himself, Lin Hai put on the black windbreaker, slowly donned the Ancient Bronze Ghost Mask, and stepped out of the villa.
