What has the world come to? Why would a decent person like her have to accompany such scum?
Could this world be any more sensible?
Every time Hua Xiaomo thought about that contract, her head throbbed. This was just the beginning, and it already felt like an eternity!
"HEH..." Qi Longbing, however, didn’t seem particularly angry. Instead, he offered her a flawless, 360-degree smile.
Looking at the overpowering, radiant smile on his excessively handsome face, Hua Xiaomo felt nothing but an ache in her eyes.
Could he be any more devilishly charming?
How had she been so unlucky as to provoke this damned, enchanting CEO!
Her normal life had been completely thrown into disarray.
"How about we listen to something else..." Qi Longbing had just finished speaking when, suddenly, a voice, sounding both pleading and agitated, drifted through the air, "Can we just call it quits..."
Qi Longbing’s handsome face darkened slightly.
Hua Xiaomo’s head throbbed intensely. She truly regretted kicking him at Haosheng Rose. If she could, she would rather have never gone there; that way, she wouldn’t have offended the man now before her.
"Miss Hua, I don’t understand what you mean by ’Can we just call it quits’?" Qi Longbing said, his voice lilting. His tone fluctuated between light and dark, sounding exceptionally devilish and carrying a hint of danger.
"President Qi..." Hua Xiaomo bit her lip and turned to look at him, her brow furrowing. "You and I are simply not from the same world. Can you please just let me go? Last time at Haosheng Rose, I really..." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry... I really didn’t know it was you..." Hua Xiaomo kept apologizing. She just hoped that once tonight was over, this guy would completely vanish from her world for good.
Qi Longbing curled his lips into a smile, remaining silent for a good while. His incomparably handsome face shone with a soft, sleek, and darkly alluring radiance, making his expression utterly unreadable.
"What’s the point of saying all this now?" Qi Longbing said with a smile, made a right turn, and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Only then did he turn to face her, his expression charming yet filled with mockery.
"Could it be that Miss Hua wishes to go back on her word? But in this world... is there such a thing as a pill for regret?" Qi Longbing’s mocking voice drifted through the air, laced with traces of disdain and coldness.
Hua Xiaomo’s brow furrowed deeply. But to endure this day after day... she didn’t know how she could possibly go on. She desperately wanted to flee, to just walk away and be done with it.
But she couldn’t. Her mother had just undergone surgery and needed her by her side...
"Today, you should be grateful to me. Otherwise, how else would you have been able to meet the person you wanted to see?" Qi Longbing said with a smile, his eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of ruthlessness in his gaze.
Qi Longbing looked at her, observing the alarm and unease in her amber eyes. A sense of contentment inexplicably surfaced deep within his heart. "If you’re obedient," he continued, "I guarantee you’ll have plenty of opportunities to see him."
"If you’re not obedient... then you’ll never see him again..." As Qi Longbing finished this sentence,
"What do you intend to do to Brother Long?" Hua Xiaomo asked, a trace of shock in her voice, though her heart quickly calmed.
Although Qi Longbing was domineering, he probably didn’t have the power to interfere with other companies.
Her words seemed to touch a nerve in President Qi, causing his eyes to narrow slightly. "Brother Long? HEH... you say that so affectionately..."
