Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering
Chapter 1218: The One Called Qiao SenCen Xi carried the tray and rushed around the guests anxiously. She was looking for the man called Qiao Sen.
After looking around, Cen Xi was feeling slightly panicked as she did not see him. Then, she caught a glimpse of his figure on the terrace from the corner of her eye.
He had changed into a black shirt and pants. He was talking to people and raised his wine glass. Because of the action of raising his hand, the tailored cloth outlined his perfect chest and shoulders. The light on the terrace fell from the top of his head, making his ordinary face look extraordinarily handsome.
Cen Xi had always felt that a man’s temperament and charm were greater than looks.
Just like this Mr Qiao Sen. He was clearly not a good person and looked ordinary, but standing there, he was still the most eye-catching.
But Cen Xi had no time to appreciate how charming he was. Thinking of the conversation between the two men, she walked towards Qiao Sen with the tray.
As she was nearing him, she pretended that she had not stood firm and one glass of wine on the tray spilled onto him.
“What the hell?” The man talking to Qiao Yanze glared at Cen Xi.
Cen Xi quickly lowered her head. “I’m sorry.”
Qiao Yanze looked at Cen Xi with his cold eyes and frowned slightly. “Mr Todd, it’s okay. It’s just that she wasn’t careful.”
“Qiao, you’d better and wash it off in the washroom.”
Qiao Yanze hummed and turned, leaving the terrace.
Qiao Yanze entered the washroom and was about to close the door when a fair and slender hand reached in.

Qiao Yanze’s eyes were dark and he looked at Cen Xi with no expression on his face. “Are you ignoring my words?”
There was no time to be afraid. Cen Xi explained in detail to him and she told him the most important thing, “Don’t be angry. I-I overheard someone say that they are going to blow up Ninth Master and Mr Ba Er.”
Qiao Yanze’s eyes darkened and his hand pinched Cen Xi’s chin with so much strength that he was almost crushing her bones. “Where did you hear that?”
Cen Xi described the man’s appearance.
“That’s Ninth Master’s uncle. He speaks the language of A Country and I need an interpreter to understand what he says. You understood it?”
Cen Xi saw that he did not believe her and was anxious, cold sweat breaking out from her forehead. She quickly explained, “I don’t have any other abilities, but I do know seven to eight languages and so I could understand what he said.”
Qiao Yanze narrowed his cold eyes and loosened the grip on Cen Xi’s chin. “Ninth Master’s uncle is always cautious. If someone is eavesdropping, he would notice it. How did you hear what he said?”
Cen Xi bit her lip. “I know how to lip read.”
Qiao Yanze frowned and his gaze on Cen Xi looked colder.
Cen Xi saw that he still did not believe her. She was afraid that if this dragged on, there would be an explosion. She grabbed his arm hurriedly. “B-Believe me. I did not see it wrongly.”
Qiao Yanze shook away her hand and his tall body came close to her. Cen Xi looked at his teriifying gaze and was so scared that she kept retreating backwards.
Until her body touched the washroom wall.
Once again, her delicate chin was grabbed by his broad and rough palm. That ordinary looking face came close, his eyes shining with a coldness. “If you dare to lie, I will kill you.”
His thin lips were against her right ear and he whispered to it.
Cen Xi could not hear what he said at all.
Tilting her head, she wanted to see what he had said. He did not expect that she would suddenly turn her head and look at him. Before he could move away, she brushed past his lips.
Her lips were a little dry with a slight coolness.
Both of them were caught off guard. Cen Xi blinked and did not immediately leave his lips because of her slow reaction.
Qiao Yanze frowned and a murderous look appeared in his cold eyes. He grabbed Cen Xi’s small face and his fingers left two bruises on her skin.
“If your information is wrong, it’ll be your death in half an hour.” He pulled the door open and left quickly.
Cen Xi covered her sore cheeks and did not have time to feel how painful it was as she also hurried out of the washroom.
There was no time to lose.
…
The group’s leader was called Ba Er. He came here to talk to the Ninth Master of the Tang family about a big business deal. The two men had a bit of conflict because of the problem with splitting the ratios. Ba Er planned to return home tomorrow and it happened to be Ninth Master’s birthday tonight, so the Tang castle held a birthday party in the evening.
Ninth Master was in charge of the Tang family castle and his uncle had been coveting his position for many years. It was not impossible to launch an explosion when Ninth Master was not paying attention.
If Ninth Master was killed by the explosion, then the responsibility could be pushed to Ba Er. It was a good idea that could kill two birds with one stone.
Qiao Yanze walked quickly to Ba Er, who was talking to Ninth Master.

Cen Xi had just come out and Qiao Yanze said to her with a cold gaze, “Go back to the room first and don’t come out when you hear anything. If you run around again, don’t blame me for leaving you here.”
Before Cen Xi could nod, Qiao Yanze had turned and left.
Not daring to stay in the banquet hall any longer, she ran along the path she had come and went back to the room she was in previously.
Closing the door, she sat on the bed and curled herself up into a ball. There was cold sweat on her back and the servant’s uniform was soaked with sweat.
She was feeling uneasy and frightened that she went to the window, pulling the curtains apart and looked towards the main building.
After five minutes, there was a loud, deafening sound that rang across the sky. Even the house here moved as if it was going to be knocked down.
Cen Xi covered her left ear and closed her eyes.
Those screams and the sound of the house collapsing began to fade after a while.
Cen Xi opened her eyes and looked at the main building.
Red. It had become red all over.
Cries and shouts filled the air, and some even howled. Even if she was not at the scene, she could imagine that it must be chaotic there.
Biting her lip, Cen Xi closed the window and sat on the bed, curling herself into a ball again.
At this time, a series of knocks sounded.
Cen Xi immediately got out of bed. But after a few steps, she stopped.
No, Mr Qiao Sen would not bang so roughly and hard on the door.
Sure enough, she heard Da Long’s rough and evil voice. “Little beauty, I know you’ve been put here by Qiao Sen. There’s an explosion at the main building and they are very busy tonight. Qiao Sen certainly has no time to deal with you, so I’ll be accompanying you tonight!”
