A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1529: Chapter 1519: Hiding

In the apartment, in the living room, a man was slumped on the floor surrounded by several black-clad bodyguards, the scene extremely oppressive.

A man in a white shirt sat by the dining table, his exquisite face calm and serene, his light brown eyes focusing on the flower branch in his hand, while the other hand held a pair of scissors.

With a ”snap”, the scissors cut off a small section of the flower stem, and he inserted the flower branch into a vase. A seemingly ordinary action, yet he performed it like art, exuding a sense of sanctity.

Golden sunflowers were ready to bloom, full of vitality, adding a touch of brightness to the room.

The room was utterly silent, and Kang Qiao felt an invisible pressure weighing on him like lead, making it almost impossible for him to move.

He watched the meticulous man pruning the flower branch, frowned, and said, ”Your mom is looking everywhere for you, and you’re hiding here? Do you even realize the chaos Shengyuan Group is in right now?”

The man didn’t stop his movements, inserted the last flower branch into the vase, and adjusted its position to make it appear more beautiful.

Then, he picked up the scissors to trim the excess leaves again.

Kang Qiao knew this man’s personality was strange and unfathomable to others, but being dragged here without reason filled him with rage.

”Jing Heng, I watched you grow up, however it counts I’m your elder, right? But what do you mean by bringing me here? This is illegal detention. I won’t hold it against you, but go find your mom and resolve the company’s issues. Otherwise, after tomorrow, Shengyuan Group might no longer have a place for you.” Kang Qiao said earnestly.

Finally, the last leaf was clipped, and Jiang Jingheng lifted the vase in his hand for a look, with a hint of softness flashing in his eyes. This time it indeed looked quite alike.

He placed the vase on the table and stood up.

Due to the injury on his abdomen, he had to brace himself against the table to get up.

He walked over to Kang Qiao, looking down on him, with a cold demeanor, ”Don’t know why I asked you to come?”

Looking at the cold face above him, Kang Qiao felt a surge of panic well up inside.

Jiang Jingheng prepared to bend down, a wave of dull pain from his abdomen struck him, his brows slightly furrowed, his body straightened, but his subordinates saw his movement clearly, two of them stepped forward and lifted Kang Qiao.

Kang Qiao struggled, failing to break free, but had to meet those cold eyes.

Forced by the situation, he had to act submissive, ”Jing Heng, let’s talk things over...”

Jiang Jingheng suddenly reached out to grab his collar and punched him in the abdomen.

”Ah!” Kang Qiao screamed in pain, caught off guard by the blow.

”Dare to mess with her?” Jiang Jingheng’s icy voice came through.

Kang Qiao’s expression changed slightly, enduring the pain he said, ”I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the pain in his abdomen intensified, feeling as if he might vomit bile.

In the end, he lay on the ground, barely clinging to life, finally able to utter a defense, ”I... I... didn’t.”

With internal organs damaged, he kept spitting bloody saliva while breathing, looking quite terrifying.

”Even having that kind of thought is wrong, otherwise, do you think you would appear before me?” Jiang Jingheng coldly watched him.

Kang Qiao saw Jiang Jingheng’s abdominal area of his shirt dyed red, his heart filled with even more terror, he had never seen such a crazy man, especially over a woman.

Jiang Jingheng had lost patience to waste time with him, turned his back, and said in a calm voice, ”Handle it as per the usual rules.”

His subordinates received the order and dragged Kang Qiao out.

Kang Qiao wanted to struggle, but right now, even movement caused him unbearable pain.

He endured the discomfort, and with his last ounce of energy asked, ”Are you really going to keep hiding here?”
