Su Qianxun felt a pang in her heart, and she even forgot the purpose of her call. Only after Long Sijue repeated his question did she muttered out what she wanted to tell him about Ke Ran looking for a part-time job.
“Sure,” Long Sijue said and hung up.
Su Qianxun furrowed her eyebrows. She was almost out of breath. She looked at the cracked screen of her cell phone in a daze.
“What’s wrong? Did Long Sijue say no? If he said no…””He agreed.”
“It’s a good thing that he agreed, isn’t it? Why are you… Did both of you get into a fight again?” Gu Mian asked when she saw Su Qianxun’s expression.
Su Qianxun forced a smile. “No, we didn’t…”
“Miss Su Qianxun, stop putting on a strong front. The fact that both of you have gotten into a fight is written all over your face.”
“It’s true that we did not get into a fight. He’s the only one who’s angry at me. I don’t know why either… Perhaps… perhaps he would always be pissed off no matter what I do,” Su Qianxun said a little dejectedly.
“How is that possible? But… since you have come to this conclusion, why don’t we conduct an experiment?” Gu Mian winked at her.
Su Qianxun said nothing.
…..
Inside Long Sijue’s office.
After Long Sijue hung up, Xiao Mingyan snorted coldly. “Why? Did that young woman call you again? She really won’t give you a break, will she?”
“Why are you here? Is anything the matter?” Long Sijue grabbed a cigarette, lit it and started smoking. The profound gaze in his black eyes was hidden behind a cloud of smoke.
“Would I even get to see you if I don’t come here? Sijue, have you forgotten what you have promised me before this?” This time, Xiao Mingyan really intended to have a serious conversation with him.
Long Sijue said nothing.
“You promised me that you’ll marry Qingcheng!”
“I thought that I have already promised you that?” Long Sijue replied flatly.
“But you’re totally enraptured by Su Qianxun, that little sl*t right now!” The thought of Su Qianxun made Xiao Mingyan grit her teeth with hatred. “You even allowed her to hurt me!”
“That was an accident.”
“I’m not here to get even with you, but you must give me a definite answer today! Promise me right now that you’ll marry Qingcheng!”
“Don’t worry about that. As long as she’s willing to marry me… I won’t go back on my word.” Long Sijue’s eyes, which were hidden behind a cloud of smoke, dimmed a little.
“You better remember what you said!” Xiao Mingyan finally felt a little more at ease after she heard this. “About that young woman, I don’t think that she’s of that much use anyway. Just get rid of her after you’re done toying with her. If you’re reluctant to dirty your hands, I can do it for you.”
“I stand by what I said. She belongs to me, and I don’t want anyone to touch her!” Long Sijue said in an extremely firm tone.
Xiao Mingyan furrowed his eyebrows. However, the main purpose of her visit today was not to fight against that little sl*t. She would deal with that young woman when the time comes, though, as whoever went against her would end up with a miserable life!
“If you don’t step over the line, I can pretend to be deaf and blind to whatever you’re doing for the time being! But if you dare to put Qingcheng at a disadvantage because of her, I won’t stand by idly anymore! You know that this is not an empty threat!”
After Xiao Mingyan left, Long Sijue killed the cigarette in his hand on an ashtray. The clouds of smoke dispersed, and there was nothing but coldness in Long Sijue’s eyes.
After Xiao Mingyan left Long Sijue’s office, Lan Qingcheng walked over and kneeled before her. “Aunty, how was it? What did Jue say?”
Xiao Mingyan caressed Lan Qingcheng’s petite face lovingly. “You will be calling me ‘mum’ very soon!”
“Thank you, aunty. I know that you are the one who loves me the most in this world. You love me even more than my real mother.” Lan Qingcheng obediently placed her head on Xiao Mingyan’s lap.
There was a pang in Xiao Mingyan’s heart, and her eyes redded. ‘Silly girl, you are my daughter, to begin with!’
