89: Chapter 89 Professional Ethics

The elevator doors opened slowly with a "ding."

Zhang Qi took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Qian Mengsheng's slender waist as they stepped out of the elevator.

Walking through the hallway on the twelfth floor of Building 1, Yunduan No. 1 Apartment.

Qian Mengsheng was so nervous that her entire body tensed up.

Zhang Qi, holding her, could feel this very clearly.

Qian Mengsheng was indeed nervous to the extreme right now.

Although what Su Ran did earlier, snatching a man behind her back, was not honorable.

But as Qian Mengsheng walked down this hallway now, she still felt guilty.

After all, she had always maintained an aloof and noble image in front of her best friend.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, she had become a canary kept by Zhang Qi.

This huge contrast in status made her feel a bit embarrassed herself.

What she feared most right now was running into her best friend Su Ran in this hallway.

Just thinking about that scene made her feel so embarrassed she wanted to disappear.

In this kind of top-tier apartment complex with four units per floor, the hallway space was certainly not small.

Qian Mengsheng was trembling with fear at every step.

Fortunately, none of the doors to the other three units opened during that time.

Qian Mengsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the solid wood security door of Room 1203.

Zhang Qi reached out and pressed his finger against the fingerprint lock on the door handle.

With a soft "beep," the heavy security door instantly popped open.

As soon as the door opened, Qian Mengsheng darted inside like a startled rabbit.

That speed was so fast that even Zhang Qi didn't have time to react.

Zhang Qi followed her in and closed the security door behind him.

He looked at Qian Mengsheng, who was standing in the entryway panting slightly, and couldn't help but tease her.

"In such a rush?"

Hearing Zhang Qi's teasing remark, Qian Mengsheng's pretty face instantly flushed red.

"It's not that..."

Qian Mengsheng stood gracefully in front of Zhang Qi, refuting him in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

She nervously twisted the hem of her skirt with both hands, her face full of shyness.

She couldn't very well just come out and explain that she was afraid of running into her best friend Su Ran outside.

That would be too embarrassing; she really was too shy to say that out loud.

Now, Zhang Qi naturally wouldn't intentionally press her on what exactly she was rushing for.

Zhang Qi's gaze fell unscrupulously on the alluring stunner before him.

Today, Qian Mengsheng was wearing a light-colored, form-fitting knitted dress.

The soft, form-fitting fabric outlined her slender and well-proportioned figure perfectly.

The neckline revealed a large expanse of fair, delicate skin, exuding youthful vitality.

Her exquisite collarbones glimmered with an alluring sheen under the bright lights of the living room.

Her features were naturally delicate and sweet, her face full of the collagen of a young girl.

At this moment, due to extreme nervousness and shyness, her eyes seemed veiled in mist.

Combined with that innocent expression of biting her rosy lower lip, it was simply heart-stirring.

This appearance could simultaneously trigger a man's protective instincts and desire for conquest.

Zhang Qi looked at the obedient and submissive young girl in front of him.

Although he now wished he could immediately completely conquer this top-tier stunner.

But after the experience with various top-tier women around him during this period.

His state of mind had already been elevated significantly.

He was no longer as rash and impatient as before.

Gorging oneself might be satisfying.

But savoring it slowly and meticulously like this.

Was the only way to truly taste the wonderful and peerless flavor within.

"Go wash up."

A gentle smile curled at the corners of Zhang Qi's mouth as he looked at her and instructed softly.

"Okay."

Qian Mengsheng lowered her head and replied obediently.

Her face grew even more flushed, and even her delicate body was trembling uncontrollably.

At this point, she was actually very clear in her heart.

She no longer had any room to escape or retreat.

As for the decision she made today, she didn't actually feel any regret.

After all, the terrifying financial power and formidable methods that Zhang Qi had displayed.

Had long since completely conquered her heart, which had originally been a bit aloof.

It was just that this was, after all, her first time in life.

Facing what was about to happen, it was inevitable that she would feel uncontrollable nervousness.

Following Zhang Qi's direction, Qian Mengsheng walked into the bathroom like an obedient young wife.

Not long after, the sound of rushing water came from the spacious bathroom.

The crisp sound of water echoed in the quiet luxury apartment.

It made one's heart itch, unable to stop one's mind from wandering.

Zhang Qi walked over to the large leather sofa in the living room and sat down.

He took out his phone and casually opened a short video app to kill some time.

This could also be considered leaving himself a bit of a buffer period for anticipation.

After scrolling through the screen twice, a coincidence occurred.

He happened to swipe onto a video by Lin Yuxi, the tenant in the neighboring Room 1202.

This was the Empress transformation video that Lin Yuxi had just posted yesterday.

Zhang Qi stared at the phone screen with great interest for a while.

One had to admit, Lin Yuxi's foundation was truly ridiculously good.

A tall, outstanding figure, paired with that magnificent and majestic Empress robe.

Plus her naturally cold and stunning face.

In the video, her gaze was haughty, and her aura was fully unleashed.

She truly displayed the charm of a high-and-mighty Empress to the fullest.

The comment section below was filled with fans' crazy comments fawning over her.

There was certainly a reason why this video went viral.

However, as Zhang Qi looked at the domineering and stunning Empress in the video.

The image of when he went to collect rent yesterday involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

That girl wearing a period costume but stepping in spongebob slippers.

After having personal contact with her, Zhang Qi was very clear in his heart.

This girl, worshipped by countless fans as a cold goddess.

In her bones, she wasn't actually some cold-hearted imperial sister at all.

Instead, she was a bit socially anxious, and one could even say she was a little dorky.

Zhang Qi looked at the hundreds of thousands of likes on the screen.

He also casually tapped a red heart like on the screen.

Then he swiped up on the screen, scrolling past this transformation video.

And continued scrolling to the next funny skit video.

After all, he now had the delicate beauty Qian Mengsheng accompanying him in the bathroom.

Naturally, he wouldn't keep thinking about the female internet celebrity next door.

"This is called professional ethics!"

About half an hour or more passed.

The tantalizing sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped.

After a while, the frosted glass door of the bathroom was gently pushed open.

Qian Mengsheng walked out from inside, somewhat nervously, wearing a pair of women's slippers.

Hearing the movement, Zhang Qi immediately put down his phone.

His gaze was instantly and firmly drawn to the scene before him.

Qian Mengsheng was not wearing any clothes; instead, she was wrapped in a white bath towel.

The bath towel barely covered those crucial, alluring parts.

Her long, straight, beautiful legs were exposed to the air without reservation.

Crystal-clear water droplets still remained on her fair skin.

Sliding slowly down her slender calves and dripping onto the floor.

Above the bath towel were her exquisite and charming collarbones.

And a pair of arms that were as fair and slender as lotus roots.

Because she had taken a hot shower, her skin had a faint pink hue.

The air was instantly filled with the fresh scent of body wash and her own natural fragrance.

This stunning picture of a beauty emerging from a bath made even Zhang Qi feel a bit dizzy.

His Physique, which had been strengthened to the limit by the system, instantly had a strong reaction.

"Brother Qi."

Qian Mengsheng stood not far from the sofa and called out softly.

She gripped the edge of the bath towel in front of her chest tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white.

That flushed face looked exceptionally pitiful and endearing.

This appearance was simply cute to the extreme, making one unable to help but want to cherish her.

She didn't even dare to look up at Zhang Qi's aggressive eyes.

"Hmm."

Zhang Qi replied in a low voice.

He leaned back comfortably on the sofa and beckoned to Qian Mengsheng, who was not far away.

"Come here."
