Deep within her heart, she harbored some cunning thoughts, and he understood them all too well, even felt slightly annoyed, yet whenever he looked into her dark, lustrous eyes, made all the more beautiful by her scheming, he couldn’t help but become momentarily lost in thought.
For a brief moment, Ling Momo thought Li Qingshen was angry.
After all, her deliberate insinuations through Li Qingshen to take a dig at Jian Chenxi hadn’t been approved by him.
No one likes being used, right?
Ling Momo thought she had gotten too carried away, failing to know when enough was enough.
If Li Qingshen lost his temper in front of all these people, she feared she might have overplayed her hand.
Ling Momo’s gaze flitted about nervously, like a startled little deer, the brightness in her eyes gradually fracturing.
Unable to resist, Li Qingshen lifted his hand and reached out towards Ling Momo’s eyes.
Such beautiful eyes. Find the newest release on novel⚑fire.net
They had ensnared his soul.
Ling Momo was stunned.
"Teacher... Teacher, what’s wrong?"
Why was he suddenly reaching out his hand towards her?
Ling Momo held her breath, her eyes locked onto Li Qingshen.
However, Li Qingshen simply placed his hand gently on her head and lightly tousled it.
It was an affectionate gesture.
Though somewhat stiff.
Then, withdrawing his hand, Li Qingshen forcefully turned away from looking into Ling Momo’s eyes, his face full of disdain, "She hasn’t earned my attention!"
The teacher hadn’t gotten angry!
And he even helped her!
This was the second time tonight that she thought he would be angry, but none of it happened!
The first was when she arranged a time to re-audition with Director Wang Yi, and the second was when she taunted Jian Chenxi with her cunning remark.
Tonight’s Li Qingshen was especially magnanimous, considering how in the past, an unintentional touch from her could provoke a menacing expression!
Ling Momo vaguely sensed something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was different. At last, her gaze trembled, and she quickly followed in Li Qingshen’s footsteps.
She seemed to realize that no matter what she did tonight, Li Qingshen would indulge her. Hence, she pouted and, while looking at the lively banquet, she rambled to Li Qingshen, who was silent and staring straight ahead, "Teacher, Sister Chenxi also gave me an invitation to the banquet. Look, so many singers have come... they look so powerful..."
When Ling Momo said "they look so powerful," she purposely widened her eyes.
Li Qingshen spoke, scorning Ling Momo, "You’re so naïve!"
For the first time, Ling Momo felt that Li Qingshen’s contempt was strangely satisfying. Pouting, she continued to play innocent, "Teacher, what do you mean by ’naïve’? You can’t compare others to yourself. This banquet is obviously very nice already!"
"Look, many celebrities are here, along with lots of planners and producers. They’ve all come to support Sister Chenxi... Sister Chenxi even said she would introduce some influential people to me, mentioned it would aid my future, and besides, Sister Chenxi wants to help me break into the music scene..."
"Vulgar!" Li Qingshen frowned, turning back to glare fiercely at Ling Momo, "A person of mine, Li Qingshen, doesn’t need to rub shoulders with those kinds of people!"
Ling Momo immediately shut her mouth, inwardly muttering with resignation, Teacher, can’t you speak without offending people?
But on second thought, how could Li Qingshen, such a lofty legend, possibly stoop to care about those people’s opinions?
