That day, Su Chenghui brought her to his apartment. Although he didnât do anything excessive to her, those words he said to her successfully made her have a dream for the whole night.
In the dream, Su Chenghuiâs voice repeatedly said, âQianxue, look at me in the future.â
âQianxue, I love you.â
âQianxue, let me accompany you.â
Li Qianxue closed her eyes and shook off the nightmare from that night. Yes, thatâs right. To her, it was a nightmare.
She rubbed her temples. The person that Li Qianxue didnât want to see the most right now was probably Su Chenghui.
When she realized that no one was paying attention to her, she picked up Su Chenghuiâs business card and switched with the seat next to hers.
She didnât want to sit next to Su Chenghui, not at all.
She didnât know that she had just put the leaderâs name tag away. Just as she was about to place Su Chenghuiâs name tag on the leaderâs seat, the name tag in her hand was gently taken away.
Li Qianxueâs heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a feeling of being caught. She looked at the person who came in a little awkwardly.
Su Chenghui, holding a name tag with one hand and looking at her with the other half of his hand on the table, stood next to her.
He curled his lips and looked at her with a faint smile. Li Qianxueâs face flushed inexplicably.
âGive it back to me.â
âGive it back to you?â Su Chenghui looked at the name on it. âAre you sure?â
Before Li Qianxue could finish her sentence, Su Chenghui suddenly approached her. âQianxue, I really didnât know that you still ââ
Li Qianxue could hear the unfinished meaning in his words, and her face turned red. Half of it was from anger, and the other half was from annoyance.
She tried her best to resist the urge to snatch the name tag from Su Chenghuiâs hand, but her facial expression was quite unsightly. âYouâre thinking too much. I was just looking at the name tag and didnât put it straight. I just wanted to put it straight.â
âYes.âSu Chenghui nodded. Not only did he not deny her words, but he also went along with her words. âYou even wanted to put my name tag straight when you saw it was crooked. I really didnât think too much.â
There was a faint smile in his voice. Li Qianxue had almost never seen such a scoundrel like Su Chenghui. For a moment, she didnât know whether she was angry or infuriated.
âSu Chenghui ââ
âEven if you donât explain, I understand.â
When Su Chenghui spoke, he put the name tag away very calmly. Of course, he put it in the same place as before.
His name card was next to Li Qianxue. Just this knowledge made him a lot happier.
He was a little surprised. After all, he was not a twenty-something-year-old kid. How could he be so easily satisfied?
By the time Li Qianxue reacted, Su Chenghui had already sat down. There was still a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.
That smile was an eyesore to Li Qianxue. Just as she was about to say something, Wei Ting stood in front of her.
âQianxue, Iâm so happy. You know what? You will be the one giving me the award today.â
âReally?â Li Qianxue didnât expect that she would be the one to give the award to Wei Ting. âThen congratulations.â
âThank you.â Wei Ting smiled and leaned forward a little. âQianxue, youâre the one who gave me the award. Thatâs what makes me happy. As for this award, I donât care.â
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Su Chenghui with some smugness. Su Chenghui remained as still as a mountain and sat in his seat calmly.
Su Chenghui naturally noticed Wei Tingâs provocative gaze.
âPresident Su is also here today?â Wei Ting seemed to have just noticed him. âWhat a coincidence.â
âItâs not a coincidence.â Su Chenghuiâs voice was indifferent. âI happen to be one of the presenters today.â
Since he was one of the top ten young men, there were naturally ten presenters as well. Su Chenghuiâs tone did not change much, but the meaning revealed by his eyes made Wei Tingâs pride dissipate a little.
He was here to present the award, while he was here to receive the award. What was there to be proud of?
âPresident Su is old, so naturally, he can only do things like presenting the award. After all, with President Suâs age, he has nothing to do with young men, right?â
âIndeed, it has nothing to do with youth.âSu Chenghui, not intending to refute his words, nodded. âSo, President Wei is trying to say that Qianxue is also old?â
âI didnât mean that.â His face a little nervous, Wei Ting quickly looked at Li Qianxue.
Li Qianxue had always despised his young age. If she misunderstood him again like this, it would be even worse.
Li Qianxue had a headache. Before she could say anything, the main leader had already entered. The venue was much livelier than before.
âPresident Wei.â Su Chenghuiâs voice was very alood. âItâs about to start. Your seat seems to be over there.â
âQianxue, I really didnât mean that.â Wei Ting didnât want to leave. He still wanted to explain to Li Qianxue.
âI know. Go and sit down first.â
Wei Ting saw that Li Qianxue didnât seem to be angry, so he was more or less relieved. However â
âIn order to celebrate my award, why donât we have dinner together?â
âWeâll see.â
âPromise me first.â Wei Ting looked wronged. âLook, I won the award, and youâre the one who will give it to me. Isnât this fate? Such fate is worth eating and celebrating, right?â
âWei Ting?â
âItâs decided then. Iâll come back and confirm the time with you later.â
Li Qianxue didnât have time to say anything, but Wei Ting had already turned around and walked to his seat.
Su Chenghui sat on the side and heard their conversation clearly. He slightly curled the corner of his lips and turned to look at Li Qianxue.
âIs this kind of reckless and immature young man really your type?â
âThis doesnât seem to have anything to do with you.â
âOf course it does.â Su Chenghui leaned over and got closer and closer to her. âIf you like this type, then I can only suck it up and become this kind of reckless and immature young man.â
âSu Chenghui.â Li Qianxue turned her head and could see Su Chenghuiâs enlarged face in front of her. She looked at the light in his eyes expressionlessly. âFirst, Wei Ting is not like what you said. He also has a mature and steady side. Second, whether or not I like a person and donât like a person has nothing to do with his personality. But there is one thing that I am very clear about.â
âWhat?â
âI will definitely not like people who lie about their feelings.â
Su Chenghui was suddenly silent because of her words. Li Qianxue felt as if the world had become quiet. She sat up straight and looked forward.
Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue had been to the top ten youth award ceremony more than once. The process was similar every year.
The leaderâs speech, this yearâs theme, the award ceremony. Each award-winning youth went on stage to receive the award and then gave their acceptance speech.
Li Qianxue took a look. Everyone would be given about ten minutes. Wei Ting was the seventh, and Wang Tao was behind him.
After she finished flipping through the award catalogue and their usual deeds, she found that Su Chenghui had sat down in his seat. She glanced at him and didnât quite understand what he was doing at this time.
However, Li Qianxue soon found out.
When it was Wei Tingâs turn, the host first read Wei Tingâs name and then introduced what he had done.
Finally, the host began to announce, âNow, letâs welcome the President of Qianhui Limited company, Mr. Su Chenghui, to present the award to the winner.â
Li Qianxue was about to stand up, but the introduction stopped her in her tracks.
She turned to look at Su Chenghui. He caught her gaze and smiled at her. Then, he stood up and walked to the stage.
Li Qianxue looked at his back and thought about what Su Chenghui had done just now. Could it be that he didnât want her to go on stage to present the award to Wei Ting, so he deliberately replaced the presenter with him?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Li Qianxue almost wanted to deny it. Could Su Chenghui be someone who would do such a childish thing?
Thinking about his age and his usual personality, Li Qianxue really couldnât figure it out at this moment.
..
When Wei Ting heard that the presenter was Su Chenghui, his expression changed slightly, but only for a moment.
This was on stage, and it was being broadcast live to the people of Quanlin City. Su Chenghui went on stage and walked in front of Wei Ting in an extremely calm manner.
He picked up the red ribbon from the etiquette ladyâs hand and was about to put it on Wei Ting, but Wei Ting did not cooperate and lowered his head.
He looked at Su Chenghui with a flash of hostility in his eyes. âPresident Su, you seem to be the next honored guest presenting the award, Right?â
His voice was very soft, but the hostility in his eyes was only a lot more. In order to cooperate with the award ceremony, the hall was filled with passionate music.
With a faint smile on his face, Su Chenghui raised his ribbon high.
âThe main point of President Weiâs visit today is to receive the award. It doesnât matter who is going to present the award for you, right?â
His voice was also very soft. The people below the stage could only see the two of them smiling happily, looking very harmonious.
Wei Ting gritted his teeth and glared at Su Chenghui with a mocking expression in his eyes. âPresident Su, it doesnât seem to make sense for you to be jealous. After all, the two of you are already divorced, right?â
âWe can get back together after the divorce, but I donât think someone like President Wei will have the chance.â
When Su Chenghui spoke, he didnât need Wei Ting to lower his head to help him put on the ribbon.
There were so many people now. Even if Wei Ting was unwilling, he could only squeeze out a smile.
âDonât be so smug. Iâm still young. Whether I have the chance or not, itâs not up to you.â
âIndeed.â Su Chenghui turned around and took the golden trophy and certificate from Miss Etiquette. He placed it into Wei Tingâs hands. âAfter all, even if I divorce Qian Xue, we still have two children. My relationship with her will never be broken. As for you, it will be much harder to establish a relationship.â
Wei Tingâs expression finally cracked. Just as he was about to change his expression, Su Chenghui had already stood to the side. Countless cameras were aimed at the two of them.
Su Chenghui was calm and composed, while Wei Ting â
When the news was released the next day, everyone thought that Wei Tingâs slightly distorted face was because he was too excited.
Yes, thatâs right, if only that expression was excitement.
After Su Chenghui presented the award to Wei Ting, he returned to his seat. Wei Ting still had to give his acceptance speech, so he couldnât leave so soon.
When Su Chenghui walked to his seat and sat down, he found Li Qianxue staring at his face. âI didnât know that you had such a trick.â
âYouâre too kind.â Su Chenghui glanced at her with a gentle gaze. âThe host and I happen to have some friendship. I said that Wei Ting and I are very good friends and I hope to have this honor. He helped me change without thinking.â
Not to mention the host, even the organizers and sponsors knew him. If he wanted to change the position of the presenter, it would be a matter of minutes.
Li Qianxue was not the audience who did not understand. She saw that Wei Tingâs expression was a little strange. âWhat did you say to Wei Ting?â
âNothing. Why? Do you feel sorry for him?â
âSu Chenghui, is it interesting?â It was not that Su Chenghui could not hear the sarcasm in Li Qianxueâs words, but he still nodded seriously.
âItâs interesting because I donât like him. If you want to give him an award, even if itâs just a normal relationship, I will be jealous.â
Crazy. Li Qianxue turned her face away from him. Su Chenghui did not mind expressing it more clearly. âQianxue, donât you understand? Because I love you, no matter what kind of man gets close to you, I will be unhappy.â
âI know, I have no right to stop you from accepting a new relationship, but I really canât just watch you get closer and closer to other men, and your relationship get better and better with other men.â
âSu Chenghui, are you crazy?â
âYes, I am crazy. I am crazy for you.â
âLet me remind you, we are already divorced.â
âYes. Thatâs why Iâm trying my best to impress you and let you know and believe in my feelings.â
Li Qianxue felt that she could no longer communicate with him.
At this time, it was Wang Taoâs turn to receive the award. Li Qianxue was switched by Su Chenghui. She got up and went up to the stage.
His eyes full of love, Su Chenghui looked at her back. As if feeling his gaze, Li Qianxue walked faster.
Su Chenghui was left with a helpless smile because of her actions.
There was still a long way to go. He would not give up. He would work hard and hope to win her over one day.
..
After the award ceremony ended, Li Qianxue got up and went to the bathroom.
When she came back, she was blocked by Wei Ting. He looked at her, and there was a hint of grievance on his handsome face.
âQianxue, do you hate me that much?â
The corner of Li Qianxueâs mouth twitched. âWei Ting, what are you doing?â
Although it was at the corner of the corridor, there might be people passing by.
âIf you donât hate me, why didnât you go on stage and give me the award?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWei Ting ââ
âDo you know how sad I was when I saw that the person on stage wasnât you?â
The aggrieved look on Wei Tingâs face became more and more obvious. For a moment, Li Qianxue actually had a feeling that the person in front of her was a child who wanted candy but couldnât get it.
âI was really sad.â Wei Ting took a step forward and was about to pull her hand. âAlthough the top ten young men arenât particularly important to me, if you were to give me the award at such an important moment, it would definitely make todayâs time more memorable.â
âStop.â Li Qianxue was not affected by his words at all. âAre you finished?â
âNo.â Wei Ting shook his head. âIâm not finished, Qianxue. I just want to say that you canât treat me like this.â
âWei Ting, you seem to have made a mistake.â
âWhat?â
âI donât have that kind of relationship with you, right?â
âAlthough not now, it can develop into one in the future. Donât you think so?â
âWei Ting, isnât it too early for us to discuss this now?â
âItâs not early. Letâs discuss it slowly. Weâll have results soon.â Wei Ting seemed to have thought of something and suddenly changed the topic. âDonât tell me youâre still thinking of getting back together with Su Chenghui?â
âWei Ting, my matter with you has nothing to do with Su Chenghui.â
âIf youâre not thinking of getting back together with him, why do you always reject me?â
âWei Ting ââ Explaining her relationship with Su Chenghui made Li Qianxue feel tired. She didnât intend to say anything more. âAnyway, itâs impossible for me and Su Chenghui, and itâs impossible for me and you. Do you understand?â
âI donât understand.â Wei Ting shook his head. âItâs impossible for you and Su Chenghui, but Su Chenghui said that you two have two children together. Thereâs an unbreakable bond between you two? Do you know that when I heard him say that, I was really angry. I couldnât even be happy after I won the award.â
âSu Chenghui ââ He actually said such a thing? Li Qianxue furrowed her brows tightly for a moment. âWei Ting, Iâm telling you very seriously. You Donât have to mind what Su Chenghui said, and you donât have to take it to heart. But this can only mean that I have nothing to do with him and nothing to do with you. Itâs impossible for me to be with you. So, please make way for me. Iâm leaving.â
As she spoke, she walked outside. Feeling very wronged, Wei Ting followed behind her. Wanting to convince Li Qianxue, he tried to say something a few times but hesitated.
However, Li Qianxue was unmoved. The two of them walked a little faster. In addition to their own worries, they actually didnât notice that someone was listening to their conversation at the bathroom door behind the corner.
..
It was night. The Luo family was in Lin City.
âWhat do you mean by a real divorce?â
Luo Cheng looked at his son, Luo Lie, and didnât understand why Luo Lie told him this. âWhat do you want to say?â
âI want to say, havenât we heard about it? Li Qianxue of the Li family divorced Su Chenghui. This is true.â
Luo Cheng didnât say anything. He had heard about the divorce between Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue. However, not only had they recently started working together on projects, they were also attending the award ceremony together.
Many people from the aristocratic families in Lin City thought that they were going to get back together.
âI used to think that it was just a rumor, but now I know that itâs true. And Dad, did you know? I heard it very clearly today. Li Qianxue said that itâs impossible between her and Su Chenghui.â
âWhat are you trying to say?â Luo Cheng listened for a long time, but he didnât understand what Luo Lie was trying to say.
Luo Yue, who was sitting next to Luo Lie, also looked at Luo Lie in confusion. âYes, brother, what are you trying to say?â
âI want to say that Wei Ting is too young. Li Qianxue would definitely not choose him. Since it was impossible for Su Chenghui to get back together with her, it meant that Su Chenghui wouldnât have a chance. This way, they wonât have a chance. Dad, wonât you have a chance?â
There was silence in the living room. Luo Cheng looked at his son. âWhat do you mean?â
âDad, donât you understand? I asked you to pursue Li Qianxue, and you came to be with Li Qianxue.â
âLuo Lie?â
âBrother?â
The two gazes landed on Luo Lie, Luo Lie looked at his father and sister. âDad, mom has been gone for so many years, you should have found one already. Isnât this opportunity just right? Think about it, who is Li Qianxue? She is the current CEO of the Li Corporation. She holds nearly half of the shares of the Li Group. With such astonishing wealth and status, if you really get together with her, wouldnât it be a great good thing for us?â
âLuo Lie ââ
âDad, let me finish. In the past, our status in Lin City was not as high as the Li familyâs. There were also a few old-fashioned aristocratic families that were enemies with us. But now, ever since that woman, Luo Meishan, offended Huo Jinyao, our family has been in an even worse state. You See, when they were having a good time, we had nothing to do with it. Now that something has happened to them, weâre implicated as well? How could something like this happen?â
Luo Lieâs words made Luo Cheng and Luo Yue fall silent.
They were the second family of the Luo family in Lin City. The eldest son was Luo Ming, Luo Meishanâs father. The eldest son had already inherited the majority of the shares of Luoxing Market. Their status was no longer comparable.
Who knew that the eldest son would be so stupid as to offend a formidable enemy like Huo Jinyao? Things were bad now. Even though Tianyu Group was no longer against them, Luoxing Market had already fallen into the hands of Tianyu Group.
Luo Ming tried to turn things around a few times, but because he had offended Huo Jinyao, almost no one in Lin City dared to help them.
His status was already inferior to the other families, and now, it was even more precarious. As for Luo Mingâs younger brother Luo Chengâs family, they were even more precarious now.
âDad, Iâve decided that you should pursue Li Qianxue and find a way to be together with her. Not only can you solve our familyâs predicament, but you can also let the people from Tianyu Group and Huo Jinyaoâs people stop making things difficult for us. More importantly, we can also get the Li familyâs help. When that time comes, it will be time for us to stand at the top of the upper class society in Lin City once again.â
After Luo Lie finished speaking, the living room fell silent. Without him saying anything, Luo Cheng and Luo Yue both knew what the Luo family was like now. But â
âBrother, thatâs easy for you to say. How can the CEO of the Li Corporation be so easy to marry?â
âNo matter how hard it is, how can it be harder than now? Luo Lie felt that it was possible. Dad, Xiao Yue, think about it from another angle. Why did Li Qianxue divorce Su Chenghui? Su Chenghui must have done something to offend her. Otherwise, why did Li Qianxue say that they had no chance at all? And that Wei Ting, although he looked good, he was still too young and didnât match up to Li Qianxue. I just came back and thought about it for a long time. I really think that this plan is very feasible.â
Luo Cheng didnât say anything but Luo Yue was the first to be persuaded by him. Brother, itâs really beneficial for you to say that. After all, even if we canât borrow the Li familyâs power, it would mean that we would have one less formidable enemy and one more helper.â
âThatâs what I mean.â When Luo Lie spoke, he glanced at Luo Cheng. âBesides, Dad, look at you. You donât look any worse than Su Chenghui. Or do you not believe in your own ability?â
âOf course not.â Luo Cheng stood up and thought about Luo Lieâs words. âOkay, Iâll think about how to woo Li Qianxue and to let her give me a chance.â
The Luo family indeed needed such a chance now. If he could successfully woo Li Qianxue, it would really solve a big problem of the Luo family. There were even more benefits.
