Su Chenghui? Why was he here? How much did he hear?
Li Qianxue instinctively frowned, but she stood there motionlessly.
Su Chenghui had already booked a flight back to Lin City in the afternoon. He knew that Li Qianxue wouldnât be back so soon. After thinking about it, he decided to come and look for Li Qianxue before he left.
Although after yesterdayâs incident, he knew how much Li Qianxue disliked him now.
But he couldnât help but want to see her again. Even if he didnât say anything, he just wanted to see her.
But Su Chenghui never expected that he would actually see such a scene when he came. Li Qianxue actually had a new suitor, and it was a suitor who was only a few years older than her daughter.
In fact, over the years, many men in the business world had expressed their admiration for Li Qianxue, but she was already married at that time.
Now, Li Qianxue had divorced him. For the first time, Su Chenghui realized that as long as Li Qianxue wanted to, there was a high possibility that she could end her bachelorhood at any time.
This feeling really wasnât good. He had the feeling that Li Qianxue was getting further and further away from him, and it was getting harder and harder to get back together with her.
The moment Li Qianxue saw Su Chenghui, Wei Ting naturally saw him too.
As Li Qianxueâs suitor, he naturally had a clear understanding of Li Qianxueâs situation.
He had seen Su Chenghui before. As a technology upstart, even if he didnât know much about the upper-class society of Lin City in the past, if he really wanted to, there was nothing he couldnât get to the bottom of.
Moreover, Li Qianxue had previously reported that she had severed her mother-daughter relationship with Su Peizhen. Wei Ting could easily find out just by doing some investigation.
No matter what the process of Li Qianxue and Su Chenghuiâs past marriage of more than 20 years was, they were already divorced.
Wei Ting moved in Li Qianxueâs direction discreetly. With one step, two steps, and three steps, he quickly stood beside Li Qianxue.
Su Qingsang stared at the scene in front of her with her eyes wide open. She couldnât help but look at Huo Jinyao again. Indicating for her to wait and see, Huo Jinyao squeezed her hand.
Su Chenghui had originally come to look for Li Qianxue, but now, he didnât know what else he could say.
Li Qianxueâs stance was already made very clear yesterday. No matter how much he said, it couldnât change the fact that their hearts had become estranged over the past 26 years.
No, their hearts had never even been together.
He looked at the young man who had courageously courted her. He was younger and braver than he was.
He was willing to pursue her all the way to Rong City and openly expressed his feelings. In this regard, he was inferior to him.
Su Chenghui was originally very confident. He believed that as long as he persevered and let Li Qianxue understand his true feelings, sooner or later, she would be moved by him and forgive him.
Now, he was suddenly a little uncertain. Could it be that before he could ask Li Qianxue to forgive him, she was already with someone else?
It was mid-autumn, and at noon, the temperature in Rong City wasnât low. Su Qingsang was already pregnant. After standing for a while, she felt extremely hot.
âDad, why are you here?â
Li Qianxue didnât speak, so she could only speak first.
âI, came to see you.â Su Chenghui said this, but his gaze fell on Li Qianxue.
âI booked a flight for this afternoon. I came to see you before I leave.â
âIs that so? Then do you want to go up and sit for a while?â
Su Qingsang wasnât helping Su Chenghui, but she didnât like Wei Ting, the man who suddenly appeared out of the blue.
She didnât approve of Wei Ting locating Li Qianxueâs phone.
âNo.â Su Chenghui clearly saw that Li Qianxueâs facial expression had changed because of Su Qingsangâs words. She didnât welcome him. Why should he continue to stay?
âI just came to see you. I will leave after seeing you.â
It wasnât that Li Qianxue didnât sense that Wei Ting was standing next to her. She resisted the urge to step aside and simply let Wei Ting stand next to her.
She saw the sadness in Su Chenghuiâs eyes, and she indeed felt a burst of pleasure, but this kind of emotion came and went quickly.
Since Su Chenghui had nothing to do with her, why should she care about his feelings?
Whether he was good or bad, it had nothing to do with her. Using another man to make Su Chenghui suffer was gratifying to her, but she disdained doing something like that.
So after Su Chenghui turned around, she also took a step to the side.
Wei Ting quickly turned around and stood in front of her. âQianxue, did you just come back from shopping? Are you tired? Have you eaten? Why donât we go eat together?â
The series of questions with concern made Su Chenghui pause in his steps.
He resisted the urge to turn his head back, and slowly walked out of the community. He needed time to think about what he should do next.
Li Qianxue took a big step back and pulled Wei Ting one meter away from her.
âWei Ting, Iâve eaten already. Sorry, but you can eat by yourself.â
She could have agreed to eat with Wei Ting so that she could give Su Chenghui a blow. However, she really didnât want to do that.
Wei Tingâs face immediately darkened. He looked at Li Qianxue with a rather sorrowful expression.
âQianxue, I came all the way here to look for you, and youâre not even willing to have a meal with me?â
âIâve already eaten.â
âThen can you accompany me while I eat?â
âSorry, I have to accompany my daughter and son-in-law for dinner.â
âThen, we can all go together.â As Wei Ting spoke, he looked in Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyaoâs direction. âI believe that your daughter and son-in-law wonât mind, right?â
Su Qingsang frowned. When she met Li Qianxueâs eyes, she shook her head without giving him face.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Wei, I mind.â
Wei Ting didnât expect Su Qingsang to be so blunt.
Su Qingsang didnât look at him at all. She only looked at Huo Jinyao and Li Qianxue.
âJinyao, Mom, letâs go up. Iâm so hot.â
âQianxue.â Wei Ting was anxious. He walked up to Li Qianxue with a pitiful expression.
Unfortunately, Li Qianxue was unmoved. âIâm sorry, Mr. Wei. This is my private time. Please leave.â
âI wonât.â Wei Ting was very persistent, but Li Qianxue didnât stand on ceremony with him. She waved his hand, and the security guard who had been waiting to watch the show finally had something to do.
He stepped forward to block Wei Tingâs way, so he could only watch as Li Qianxue and Su Qingsang left.
After they went upstairs, Su Qingsang asked Huo Jinyao to carry the things back to the room while she followed Li Qianxue with a gossipy look on her face.
âMom, youâre with Mr. Wei?â
Li Qianxue looked at Su Qingsang and said helplessly, âDonât talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with him.â
âReally? But he said he was going to pursue you.â
âDid you believe him?â
Li Qianxue was no longer an naive little girl. She would never believe Wei Tingâs words. âMaybe itâs because I didnât give him face the first time we worked together. I donât know why he decided to pursue me.â
âThat means that mom, youâre irresistibly attractive.â
Su Qingsangâs eyes were full of teasing. âOkay, letâs not talk about him. I have nothing to do with him anyway.â
âMom, I think that he actually might be sincere. You can actually consider him before making a decision.â
âHow?â Li Qianxue didnât have the mood at all. Even if she had the mood, it wouldnât be towards Wei Ting.
âDo you know how old he is this year? Iâm almost twenty years older than him. Tell me, what does he love about me?â
âMy mother is so good that no matter where she is, sheâs worthy of being loved.â
âYouâre just flattering me.â Although Li Qianxue said this, she was in a good mood.
As for Wei Ting, she really didnât think that there was any possibility between the two of them.
For the rest of the time, Li Qianxue continued to accompany Su Qingsang. When Su Qingsang went to work, Li Qianxue would use the computer at home to handle some business.
When Su Qingsang wasnât at work, she would try her best to improve her relationship with her. There were a few times when she even dragged Su Qingsang to sleep together.
However, when she went out with Su Qingsang, she would always run into Wei Ting seemingly by chance, but it was more like an opportunity that he deliberately created.
Li Qianxue didnât like Wei Ting and thought that it was impossible for her to be with him. However, she couldnât force him out.
After all, the two corporations were still tied. This caused her to be embarrassed every time she saw Wei Ting appear in front of her with a cheeky smile.
However, Wei Ting seemed to insist on crossing her. The more she didnât give him face, the more he liked to stick to her.
Su Qingsang could tell now after the past few days. If one were to say that Wei Ting just wanted to have some fun, it didnât quite seem like it.
However, all of this was up to Li Qianxue. Su Qingsang didnât meddle in or give any advice. She believed that Li Qianxue could handle this.
Ten days later, Old Master Li returned to Lin City. Li Qianxue also decided to go back. Although Su Qingsang was reluctant, she had to accept reality.
At Rong City Airport, Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao sent Li Qianxue back to Lin City.
Li Qianxue was also reluctant, but there were two contracts waiting for her to negotiate in Lin City. If she really wanted to relax, she could only wait for Su Yuxin to graduate and come back to lighten her burden.
âQingsang, you must take good care of yourself.â
âI know.â
Her eyes a little warm, Su Qingsang nodded. âMom, I donât want you to go.â
âSilly girl.â Trying to suppress the urge to cry, Li Qianxue blinked her eyes. âYouâre about to become a mother. You canât act like a child anymore. Youâre pregnant now. Remember to take good care of yourself.â
âI will. Besides, thereâs still Huo Jinyao.â
âMom, donât worry. Iâll definitely take good care of Qingsang.â
âIf you donât take good care of her, I wonât let you off the hook.â
Li Qianxue glared at Huo Jinyao threateningly. When she looked at Su Qingsang again, she held her hand and was about to say a few more words when from the corner of her eye, she saw Wei Ting slowly getting close behind Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao.
Why was he here again? He was really haunting her.
Li Qianxueâs brows were knitted tightly together as she watched Wei Ting walk up to her.
âHi, Qianxue, what a coincidence.â After he finished greeting Li Qianxue, he greeted Su Qingsang and her husband.
He should at least try to curry favor with his future daughter and son-in-law. Attitude was still very important.
Li Qianxue didnât believe that there was such a coincidence. âWei Ting, did you locate my phone again?â
âQianxue, you really wronged me. This time, I really didnât locate your phone.â
He had only used his connections and checked the airlineâs flight records. After all, he didnât really believe that Li Qianxue would stay here forever.
Since she had to go back sooner or later, she naturally needed to book a plane ticket.
Look at how smart he was?
âI just happen to be going back to Lin City. Look, arenât we fated?â
âI donât think so.â Li Qianxue wasnât a young and naive girl. She was sure that Wei Ting must have done something. âIf you want to go back to Lin City, go ahead. Iâm not going back.â
âThen where are you going, Qianxue?â
âDo I need to report where Iâm going to you?â
âOf course not.â Wei Ting quickly waved his hand and looked at Li Qianxue with a very eager gaze. âI just think that no matter where you go, I also want to go with you. You can treat me as one of your luggage.â
âI donât have such a big luggage.â
âQianxue?â
âMr. Wei, please excuse me, Iâm boarding the plane.â
âItâs okay, Iâll go with you.â Wei Ting relied on his experience that the thicker his skin was, the easier it was to woo a girl.
Li Qianxueâs brows were tightly knitted. âWho wants to go with you? I told you, Iâm not going back to Lin City.â
âThatâs great, I can change my visa. Iâm going to follow you no matter what, so weâll just take it as getting used to taking trips together in advance.â
After Wei Ting finished speaking, he added, âHoneymoon trip.â
âWei Ting.â Li Qianxue was in a hurry to get rid of Wei Ting and left without even saying goodbye to Su Qingsang. âIf you continue to spout nonsense, I wonât stand on ceremony with you.â
The two of them disappeared from the boarding gate. Her eyes filled with shock, Su Qingsang turned to look at Huo Jinyao.
Why did she feel that something wasnât right?
âJinyao, what do you think of Wei Ting?â
âItâs hard to say for now. He seems decent, and he has no major problems in other aspects.â
Huo Jinyao began to talk about the information he had found out. âHeâs considered a tech upstart. He studied abroad in his early years and developed an app with a friend. The game app sold for a good price. Then, he used the money to start his own company with his friend. They collaborated with the Li Group this time to install internal software on all the computers in your motherâs company. Thatâs how they got to know each other.â
âIs that so?â These were all work-related matters. Su Qingsang was most concerned about his personal character, conduct, and, most importantly, his relationship history.
âI havenât found anything yet.â Besides what he had just said, Huo Jinyao didnât have much information on Wei Ting at the moment.
âI only know that he didnât seem to have a girlfriend when he was in Silicon Valley. His friends said that he kept himself to himself and that he was very prudish.â
âThat good?â This Wei Ting didnât look young, did he? He had never had a girlfriend before? That didnât make sense.
âYeah.â Huo Jinyao nodded. âAt least according to the information. If we go any further, we still need time to find out his identity and history. If youâre worried, Iâll get Yang Wenchang to tell you the results in two days.â
Su Qingsang shook her head. âThereâs no rush. Thereâs no sign of anything happening yet. Besides, I believe in my motherâs judgment.â
âYou believe in your motherâs taste?â His eyes incredulous, Huo Jinyao raised an eyebrow. âBased on her taste in your father?â
âHuo Jinyao...â Su Qingsang raised her hand to pinch Huo Jinyaoâs arm, but Huo Jinyao wrapped her hand in his palm.
âAlright, letâs not worry about your motherâs relationship for now. I remember something Wei Ting said just now.â
âWhat?â
âWeâve been married for more than a year, but we havenât gone on our honeymoon yet.â
Su Qingsang blinked. âDonât tell me youâre thinking of taking me on our honeymoon now?â
âCanât I?â
Su Qingsang looked down at her belly, which had grown a little bigger than two days ago. âNow? At this time? Are you sure?â
âDidnât you always say that youâre in good health and have no problems at all?â Huo Jinyao felt that this suggestion was feasible. âIf youâre willing, I can take you out for a few days.â
âWhere to?â Su Qingsangâs interest was piqued by Huo Jinyaoâs suggestion.
âWhere do you want to go?â
Su Qingsang blinked and said, âWhy donât we drive? A long flight might affect the fetus. If you want to go on a trip in the country, itâs still possible. Itâs best to choose the type that doesnât require too long of a driving time.â
Su Qingsang was just saying it casually, but she didnât expect Huo Jinyao to actually arrange it. When they arrived the next Saturday, Huo Jinyao brought her to the new RV he bought.
The space behind the RV was very large. It was very comfortable. Su Qingsang sat inside and felt like she was on a level road.
She looked away from the window and looked at Huo Jinyao. âWhen did you buy this car? Donât tell me you bought it just to take me out?â
âCanât I?â He could never spoil his woman too much. Even if she wanted a yacht or a plane, he would satisfy her, let alone a car.
âItâs a bit wasteful.â Su Qingsang looked at the luxurious furnishings in the RV. âIâve only seen this on TV.â
âItâs okay. If you like it, Iâll buy ten or eight, and paint them in different colors. Then, you can drive one to each place and take turns like a rainbow.â
âEnough.â If he continued to be like this, he would really spoil her.
Su Qingsang yawned and looked at the bed on the RV. âHow much longer will it take?â
âAbout three hours. Sleep for a while. Iâll call you when we get there.â
âWhat about you?â
âIâll watch over you.â
Su Qingsang smiled at his words and leaned over to kiss him on the corner of his lips. Only then did she go to bed and lie down.
She fell asleep, and Huo Jinyao took out his laptop and began to deal with his work.
Three hours later, Su Qingsang woke up after some good rest. When she woke up, she found Huo Jinyao sitting by the bed looking at her.
âYouâre awake? We just arrived.â
âWeâre here?â Su Qingsang sat up and looked out of the car window, only to find that she could see nothing but a white wall.
âStop looking. Get out of the car. This is the parking lot.â
Su Qingsang nodded. âWait for me then. Iâll change and tidy up.â
âOkay.â
Huo Jinyao waited for Su Qingsang to get out of the car. Only then did Su Qingsang realize that they were in front of a three-story villa. There were many flowers of various colors planted in the yard at the entrance, and it looked quite beautiful and exquisite.
She turned around and was about to speak to Huo Jinyao when she saw a car passing by on the road outside the villa. The car window that wasnât closed allowed her to see the person sitting inside.
Su Qingsangâs eyes widened. Wasnât that person â
