Strongest Counterattack Chapter 358 - A Perfect Win

Chapter 358 A Perfect Win

Nan Gong recalled what Uncle Zhuang had said before, “The Young Master is really something and you guys could learn from each other sometime.” Nan Gong was curious at that time, and wondered if the Young Master really had some formidable skills. She had never seen him fight before, and figured that he might be some sort of silent master with a low profile.

Yet judging from what she saw today, the Young Master was just ordinary. With a few petty tricks that would only work on ordinary people, he was doomed for failure, when she was the rival. “How dare you set me up! You really have no idea how tough I am, do you? Hopefully this will teach you a lesson and you will not ask for trouble later.”

Nan Gong was p.i.s.sed off at first, but when she saw Qin Sheng stumbling into the snowdrift, and looking like a drowned rat, she could not help laughing at him. She pointed a finger at his face, and looked more like an unsophisticated young girl, rather than a vicious lady killer.

Qin Sheng crawled awkwardly out of the snowdrift, took off his jacket and shook off the snowflakes on it. There was still a lot left, which seeped into his clothes, melted down his back and made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Qin Sheng cleaned himself up, thinking that he was in such a mess and that he needed a change of clothes. He did not think it was a big deal, but the grudge between Nan Gong and him was a big one, and would take time to settle. Qin Sheng had never been a silent sucker and would take revenge on the spot, if he could. He would not let Nan Gong off, merely due to her beauty, which if nicely put, was a th.o.r.n.y rose, but a vicious woman, when harshly spoken.

Qin Sheng glared at Nan Gong as he fumed over her harsh laughter which annoyed him immensely, “Are you done? ”

“Of course not. Isn’t that funny? You don’t let me laugh when you are not as good as the others. Where did all that peac.o.c.k arrogance of yours go when you were “riding” on me?” Nan Gong reb.u.t.ted with her smart tongue, without noticing what she had just said. What does “riding on me” mean actually? Those who did not know the truth would surely get confused and misinterpret that something was going on between them.

Qin Sheng soon took advantage of what she had just said, and tried to provoke Nan Gong intentionally, “Well, riding on you, huh?”

Nan Gong suddenly understood what she had just said after Qin Sheng’s taunt. She spluttered and flushed with anger, “You go to h.e.l.l! I would have killed you if you were not the son of my Foster Father.”

“Kill me? Come on!” Qin Sheng continued to goad her by challenging Nan Gong’s bottom line, “I underestimated you earlier, and that gave you the advantage of beating me. Now I’m offering you another chance, come and kill me!”

Nan Gong had a bad temper, but now she completely lost control of her anger which had been fanned by Qin Sheng’s defiance, and finally made up her mind to teach him a lesson. She did not mind being blamed or even punished by her Foster Father and Sister Ran, as she said furiously, “How dare you challenge me! Then I’ll do as you wish. Not everyone has to give in to you.”

Qin Sheng did not want to waste any time chatting with Nan Gong, and he wanted to get his revenge. He rushed forward and threw a punch at her, before she even finished her sentence.

The two of them were about to have a serious fight, when the security guard of the villa walking by on his rounds, called a halt to their scuffle, “Hey! What are you guys doing here?”

Both of them turned their backs on the security guard, and no one was able to stop them at this moment.

Nan Gong retreated two steps back to dodge his punch and quickly lifted her knee, making a fierce strike back toward Qin Sheng’s abdomen at the same time. Qin Sheng managed to block Nan Gong’s knee-strike with both his hands in time, but still staggered back from the impact of her overbearing strength. In addition to the slippery ground, he could not stop tumbling back and hit the curb.

By leveraging this counterforce, Qin Sheng pushed Nan Gong away, but suddenly he saw her elbow moving directly toward his face. Qin Sheng was shocked and he thought, “What a fierce woman! My face could have been shattered with such a powerful elbow-blow.”

So Qin Sheng swerved to avoid the elbow-blow, and rapidly clasped her by the waist. Nan Gong, unprepared and irritated by his bold action, threw another elbow-blow hard and directly on Qin Sheng’s back, which made him grimace in pain.

Qin Sheng’s plan to regain his dignity rather than have a life-and-death fight with her, or else, he would definitely get ribbed by Nan Gong. What’s more, he realized that he might not be a match for Nan Gong, and hit upon an idea of using that strong strike.

Realizing that Qin Sheng was not going to let go of her, Nan Gong lifted her knee and launched herself at Qin Sheng. Meanwhile, Qin Sheng, letting out a bellow of rage, clutched Nan Gong by the waist, and was about to throw her down into the snowdrift.

They were both exerting their full force at the same time, and as her knee dashed into his left shoulder, the impact brought them both backwards As a result, Qin Sheng tumbled into the snowdrift again, but this time, he fell together with Nan Gong.

Now the situation was doubly awkward. Qin Sheng has been there before, and did not mind falling into the snowdrift again. This time though, he had his stuffing almost knocked out by this vicious woman, and the pain from his back and shoulder was killing him right now. Yet things were worse for Nan Gong, as she fell into a snowdrift that was much thicker than the one Qin Sheng was in, and she was totally covered in snow. As a result, she flew immediately into a rage and resolved to kill him.

Qin Sheng was not one to brag after getting the upper hand. Successfully regaining his dignity by getting back at Nan Gong, Qin Sheng quickly rose to his feet and ran off without even caring about the snowflakes on his jacket, and left Nan Gong behind, flat on her back. He knew for sure that Nan Gong would definitely come after him, based on her temperament.

The security guard wanted to stop Qin Sheng, but due to lack of strength, could not keep up with him, and as a result, he had to call for support.

It was only now that Nan Gong managed to crawl up from the snowdrift. She truly wanted to put up a desperate fight with Qin Sheng for he really p.i.s.sed her off this time. Suddenly a speedy dark shadow flashed across her eyes and seemed to be running for its life, by the time she managed to get to her feet. Who else could it be, if it was not Qin Sheng? As rage coursed its way up her body, Nan Gong yelled out loud, “Qin Sheng, you stop! I’m going to kill you!”

With this, she rushed out and started chasing after Qin Sheng, in the world of snow. The pathetic security guard followed behind, gasping for air.

Knowing that he could not beat Nan Gong, Qin Sheng wisely chose to run for his life. For a man who could walk in mountains as easily as walking on firm ground, Qin Sheng sprinted speedily all the way up to the villa and did not stop till he reached it.

The moment Aunt Zhao opened the door for Qin Sheng, she was stunned at the sight of the young man, who was covered in snow, with mud all over his face and jacket. She clearly had no idea of what happened.

“Aunt Zhao, I’m going take a shower and get changed. I fell accidentally just now.” Qin Sheng explained casually, and went upstairs to shower, after removing his jacket.

Right after Aunt Zhao closed the door and set about preparing lunch, the doorbell rang again. Thinking that is was Qin Ran, she went back to answer the door.

Nan Gong stood outside the doorway. Aunt Zhao was surprised to see her and asked, “Miss Nan Gong? Why are you here?”

People in Siheyuan were quite familiar with Nan Gong, knowing that she was the Foster Daughter of Qin Chang. They would address her as Miss Nan Gong, or Young Lady, sometimes in private.

Nan Gong asked furiously, “Aunt Zhao, where’s Qin Sheng?”

It was only now that Aunt Zhou noticed that Nan Gong seemed to be as messy as Qin Sheng. Her hair was in a disheveled state and she had mud and water stains all over her face and body. She was confused, “What on earth is happening here?”

“He is taking a shower.” Aunt Zhao answered honestly.

When she heard this, Nan Gong rushed directly upstairs without changing her shoes, and began searching for Qin Sheng, going from one room to another, on the second floor. She finally located him in a guest bedroom, by the sound of running water. She completely lost her mind right now and was determined to kill Qin Sheng in order to vent her anger, or at beat him senseless, if killing was an impractical choice.

So she stomped her way up to the bedroom in a fury, and pulled open the door of the bathroom without thinking. She thought that Qin Sheng was hiding inside intentionally out of cowardice, so she yelled, “Qin Sheng, get the h.e.l.l out!”

Qin Sheng had expected Nan Gong to break in, so he did not lock the door, in an attempt to embarra.s.s her once again. Yet much to his surprise, Nan Gong really burst in without any consideration, and he did not see that coming.

He was taking a shower for real, rather than hiding from Nan Gong. After all, he was soaked thoroughly from the snow.

Therefore, when Nan Gong dashed in, Qin Sheng had quite a fright. He covered up his private parts and shouted, “Oh, you pervert!”

Nan Gong sobered immediately when she heard this accusation, as she did not expect Qin Sheng to be actually taking a shower. The visual impact of a hunky guy in the shower was so overwhelming that she became fl.u.s.tered. After all, she was just a young virgin who had never seen a naked man before, and totally did not know how to deal with such situation. If she had been a married woman, she would not have fallen into Qin Sheng’s trap.

Nan Gong came around in a blink of an eye. It would be a huge disaster if anyone knew that she had seen his naked body. So she snapped back at Qin Sheng, “What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you!”

Being the victim of the whole drama, Qin Sheng asked in a deliberately aggrieved tone, “Aren’t you going to avert your eyes?”

Nan Gong ran away as rapidly as her feet could move, even before Qin Sheng finished speaking. She blushed furiously, and left him calling out loudly from behind, “Hey, close that door from outside!”

Of course Nan Gong did not dare to come back and close the door. Qin Sheng did not burst into laughter till he was sure that Nan Gong was gone. Except for those little setbacks in the process, he had won a perfect victory today, so to speak.

Women are women, no matter what, especially the ones like Nan Gong, who were shy and easily embarra.s.sed.

Qin Sheng went leisurely downstairs, dressed in clean clothes after a nice long shower, and much to his surprise, Nan Gong was still in the house, sitting on the couch, eating fresh fruits, watching TV, while chatting with Aunt Zhao.

Qin Sheng paused subconsciously, and Nan Gong rose soon after she spotted him.

Qin Sheng was scared and questioned her, “What do you want?”, guessing that this woman would not stop until she beat the h.e.l.l out of him.

“How about you telling me?” Nan Gong sneered at him.

Having nowhere to hide, Qin Sheng could not help but grasp Aunt Zhao, like a life-saving straw and called for help, “Aunt Zhao, call my sister, tell her that Nan Gong’s going to kill me.”

Aunt Zhao thought the t.i.t-for-tat between these two youngsters was no more than a drama for kids, so she said with a smile, “Mr. Qin and Miss Nan Gong, quit playing and come for lunch.”

Nan Gong had calmed down already. Knowing that she could not do anything to Qin Sheng in front of Aunt Zhao, but she gave him a ferocious stare, before following her into the dining room.

It was only now that Qin Sheng’s heart was at ease. “What a close call that was. I’d better stay far away from this woman, in case I get burnt.”
