Qin Miaomiao glanced at them and immediately figured out their relationship. She felt uneasy and stood up, saying:
"Since President Li has other matters to attend to, I won’t bother you any longer. I’ll take my leave." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Li Li didn’t attempt to stop her, but the way he looked at her was incredibly profound, carrying an oppressive weight that made it hard for her to breathe. What bothered her even more was Huang Shan’s face that resembled ’Su Jin’ so closely. Why of all people did Li Li have to choose a woman with that face, and why intentionally let her see?
He was a clever man; everything he did had its purpose.
After she left, Li Li withdrew his hand and said coolly, "You should leave now. If I have time, I will come see you."
Huang Shan looked at him, no longer in the coquettish mood she had been in earlier. Her tone carried a hint of cautious probing as she asked, "President Li, did you deliberately bring me here to act in a play just to provoke that girl earlier? I saw how you looked at her. You like her, don’t you?"
Li Li’s gaze turned piercingly cold. "Mind your own business and stop asking questions. Be a good girl, take the money, do your job, and leave."
Huang Shan laughed bitterly. "I’m just someone you’ve paid to keep. Whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do. But don’t blame me for speaking out of turn—based on earlier, it seems that girl doesn’t like you at all."
A flicker of malice crossed Li Li’s face, his tone turning chillingly sharp. "Don’t interfere. What makes you valuable is only that face of yours."
Huang Shan’s face instantly turned pale. She was nothing but a kept woman to him—just for this face. Being called over earlier had sparked some secret joy in her heart, but after playing along in his performance, she was dismissed with cold indifference. To her, it was nothing short of humiliation.
She left with a pale face. At the door, she spotted that same Miss Qin still waiting for the elevator. Unable to suppress her jealousy, she approached, deliberately forcing a smile as she said:
"Hello, I’m Huang Shan."
Qin Miaomiao looked at her with some surprise. Hmm, indeed, that face bore a striking resemblance to Su Moli’s—after the cosmetic surgery, Su Moli resembled about seventy to eighty percent—but this face looked entirely natural, with no signs of surgery, and resembled about eighty percent.
"You’re President Qin, right? President Li is very fond of you."
Qin Miaomiao didn’t quite understand her point. In Huang Shan’s face, there was a burning anger—a kind of fury twisted by jealousy.
Huang Shan sneered. "He brought me here just to act in a scene. I’m just one of his kept women, staying in his villa every month waiting for his occasional visits. Maybe you think women like me are pathetic. I know very well he doesn’t actually like me. What he likes is merely this face of mine."
Qin Miaomiao stared at this woman who seemed on the verge of losing control and frowned. "This is the path you chose."
"Yes, this is the path I chose, just like a caged canary that foolishly fell in love with its keeper. Even I find myself disgusting. Sorry for dumping all this on you."
Qin Miaomiao looked at her face, momentarily unsure of what to say. Li Li... the way he looked at her made her heart shake. The suppressed and terrifying desire beneath his calm exterior—this time it was more apparent than ever.
"Let me give you a reminder: when he’s in bed, President Li always calls out someone’s name. Do you know whose name?"
"I don’t want to know."
"What a pity, because it’s your name he calls out."
A wave of disgust rose in Qin Miaomiao’s heart. Staring at this woman’s face, the sickening feeling grew stronger and stronger. Once the elevator arrived, she turned and left without hesitation.
Huang Shan laughed at herself, filled with bitterness. Disgusting, isn’t it? But she endured this disgust while sharing a bed with him, and even fell in love with that man!
