Xi Jianjin, Li Qingshen had never met, but he had heard of the sensational love affair between Bao Chongchong and Xi Jianjin abroad.
"Xi Jianjin? He’s back?" Li Qingshen replied with slight surprise, then thought that ever since Xi Jianjin left City X, Bao Chongchong had completely changed. After waiting all these years, she finally got the man back; it’s no wonder Bao Chongchong clung so fiercely to his birthday. At Baodi Group, whether it was Su Chen, Qin Sheng, or even Li Qingshen himself, they had always indulged the girl, so Li Qingshen naturally wouldn’t refuse. He nodded straightforwardly and uttered one word, "Okay."
Upon hearing this word, Su Chen clearly relaxed. Convincing Li Qingshen was the honorable task Bao Chongchong had set for Qin Sheng. Yet, that bastard Qin Sheng, using a favor he owed him, coerced Su Chen into persuading Li Qingshen. Now seeing how readily Li Qingshen agreed, Su Chen quickly confirmed, to avoid any chance of Li Qingshen backing out later, "Alright, we’ll choose Imperial Palace as the venue, a small dinner gathering."
"Sure." After replying, Li Qingshen glanced briefly at Ling Momo before quickly speaking up to stop Su Chen, who was about to hang up, "Hold on, I might bring a friend along that day."
Su Chen was taken aback, a friend of Li Qingshen’s?
Who could it be, he was unaware?
Very suspicious, Su Chen issued an "Oh," then a light bulb went off in his head, and he gave another sarcastic "Oh," this time elongating the sound, "I know who it is! Your student, Ling Momo, right?"
Li Qingshen instinctively glanced at Ling Momo and before he could speak, Su Chen’s voice came blustering again from the other end of the phone, "What, have you got it sorted already? Are you planning to introduce her to us? Alright, Li Qingshen, I really underestimated you. After shooting the MTV, it all just fell into place! It looks like you’ve got quite the knack for it, a natural!"
Li Qingshen gently cleared his throat and said indifferently, "Don’t talk nonsense, it’s not like what you think!"
"It’s not?" Su Chen grew even more excited, "So you haven’t sorted it out yet? Li Qingshen, and I was just praising you. You haven’t got it sorted? How many times have I told you....."
"Enough, I need to take my student home first; we can talk when we meet up later." Li Qingshen cut off Su Chen’s rant and hung up the phone without further ado.
After hanging up, Li Qingshen pondered for a while. Since Ling Momo had wanted to invite him for a meal and the day after tomorrow was his birthday, why not take this opportunity to have her accompany him for his birthday.
Li Qingshen, used to being aloof, found the prospect of directly inviting Ling Momo somewhat natural. He opened his mouth several times, unsure of how to say it, but finally, after thinking it over and refining his words, he said not too gently but not too gravely, "I have something on tonight, so we probably can’t have dinner. Also, you’ve been quite tired lately, go home first, take a bath, and have a good rest. Then, regarding the dinner, let’s schedule it for the night after tomorrow, okay?"

As he spoke, Li Qingshen turned his head to look at Ling Momo, a faint glimmer of anticipation shining at the bottom of his eyes....
