Li Qiang was shocked. He carefully looked at his wrist and sure enough, there were three golden rings shining.
Zhao Qingqing said, "That’s why I invited you here. According to the rules of the city, once you enter the store, you can’t renege on the deal. Whether you do it or not, you have to pay for it."
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Since things have come to this, I will follow the customs of the country." He had always liked Zhao Qingqing’s looks. Now that he was forced into this situation, there was no point in continuing to pretend. Thus, the two of them had achieved great things together.
After the storm had ended, Zhao Qingqing tidied up her clothes and got off the bed. She poured a cup of nectar from the jade pot on the table and handed it to Li Qiang. "You’ve worked hard for so long. Are you thirsty?"
Li Qiang drank it all in one gulp. He instantly felt like his lips and teeth were covered in the fragrance as he praised, "What is this? It’s so delicious?"
Zhao Qingqing smiled and said, "This is Dragon’s Saliva, an ancient sacred artifact. Drinking it can cure all kinds of diseases and strengthen the body."
Li Qiang said, "This item must be very expensive, right?"
Zhao Qingqing said, "This is for free. Just enjoy it."
Li Qiang said, "Since I came here, no matter how much it costs, it’s worth it. But what I’m worried about is, will that man who was with you before come over to cause trouble for me?"
Zhao Qingqing said, "It’s okay, he doesn’t have the guts nor the qualifications. I’m single and I’m not anyone’s personal property. I’ll follow whoever I want, other people have no right to interfere."
Li Qiang thought, "Although this courtesan looks very similar to Zhou Qianqian, she has a completely different personality. As for her work, it would be even more different. If Zhou Qianqian knew that someone who looks similar to her was doing this, she would definitely be angered."
At this moment, Zhao Qingqing sat in Li Qiang’s embrace. She kissed him and said gently, "Earlier, you kept saying that I was your teacher. Can you tell me about her?"
Li Qiang shook his head and said, "We’re just having a good time, what’s she doing? Besides, it has nothing to do with you."
Zhao Qingqing said, "She looks so similar to me, there must be a hidden meaning behind it. I want to find out more about her."
Li Qiang said, "There’s no need to be so serious. She has her own life and privacy, so I don’t have the right to speak of her affairs casually."
Zhao Qingqing smiled sweetly and said, "You do have some rules, it’s really rare to see a man like him." That’s right, the girl who made a scene in the restaurant is also one of yours, right? "
Li Qiang said in surprise, "How did you know?"
Zhao Qingqing sneered, "I know that man very well. With his level, how could he possibly find such a beautiful wife? That young lady has an air of arrogance that is completely different from ordinary people’s. It’s impossible for her to hire such a mediocre landowner, I don’t know if I’m right or not? "
Li Qiang nodded and said, "You are right, she is indeed one of my people. I wanted to be on the line with you, so I had her make a fake show. "Oh right, since you saw through the flaw, why did you leave that restaurant?"
Zhao Qingqing smiled sweetly, "I was just looking forward to leaving, but when I was with that man, I just wanted to buy some jewelry. I was thinking of an excuse to leave after getting the jewelry, but your people just came up to put on an act, they really helped me out a lot."
Li Qiang helplessly smiled and said, "I originally thought it was all due to our idea. I didn’t expect it to be within your expectations. I’m really impressed."
Zhao Qingqing said, "In our line of work, all you know is how to read people’s expressions. What’s there to admire about that? However, from the looks of it, your tone and manner of speech definitely do not belong to this city. Just where did you come from and what do you do? I haven’t seen a man with three gold rings on his wrist in a long time. "
Li Qiang said, "You said you’ve been in this city for a long time? But why do I feel like this place has just been built? "
Zhao Qingqing said, "This city was built several years ago, and it took an entire year of internal testing before it could be officially launched. From the looks of it, the results are pretty good."
Li Qiang laughed, "So you also know about the internal test."
Zhao Qingqing said, "This is not a secret, what’s so special about knowing it? "It’s a pity that I’m only a character in the game. I can’t go with you to the outside world. What a pity."
Li Qiang said in surprise, "You actually know you’re a game character?"
Zhao Qingqing said, "Don’t tell anyone about this, otherwise, they will kill me. In this game, I do boring and despicable things every day, do you think I would want to, but whenever I want to change my profession, someone would change my data backstage and let me go back to my old business. It’s really a sad story." As she spoke, she began to shed tears.
Li Qiang lightly caressed her shoulders and comforted her, "Don’t be too sad. When the car arrives, there will be a road ahead of us. Maybe there will be a way for you to leave this place in the future?" He thought to himself: "artificial intelligence has already reached its limit. People in the game have started to think about their own lives. If it goes on like this, what will happen then?"
Zhao Qingqing said, "Thank you. You are the first person to sincerely care for me. I will remember this favor."
Li Qiang kissed her pretty face and said, "You look exactly like Teacher Zhou, and I believe your heart is as kind as mine. This is my favorite quality, so I will think of a way to help you."
Zhao Qingqing was pleasantly surprised, "You’re really going to save me and help me jump out of this fire pit?"
Li Qiang always liked to make random promises and enjoyed the feeling of satisfaction brought by this generosity. He immediately nodded and said, "Relax, with me here, you will definitely be given your freedom!"
Zhao Qingqing had heard many sweet words from men, but the man in front of her gave her an imposing air, so it was impossible to tell that he was lying. Not only was she intimidated by Li Qiang’s overflowing aura, she was also elated by the fact that she was on the verge of becoming free.
Li Qiang said, "It’s already late, so I want to go out and find my companions. Let’s meet again in the future. Please wait for my good news."
Zhao Qingqing bowed and said, "I hope that my husband will not let me down. If I can escape, I am willing to serve him for the rest of my life."
Li Qiang held her charming face and kissed it again and again, saying, "How could I let you be a servant? Stop speaking such unpleasant words, okay?"
Zhao Qingqing smiled, but with a hint of bitterness, she replied, "I’m a lowly woman. If I don’t become a servant, what else can I do?"
Li Qiang said, "There’s a lot of work to be done outside. I’ll arrange it later."
Zhao Qingqing curiously asked, "Just what does the real world look like? I’m a virtual character, how could I live in the real world?"
At this moment, Li Qiang already had a plan in his heart. However, this idea had yet to materialize. He tried his best to calm Zhao Qingqing and reassure her.
Zhao Qingqing sent Li Qiang out of the alley and then left.
