"Li Qingshen!" Chen Wanru stomped her foot and called out Li Qingshen’s full name, "I’ve been working with you from the very beginning, and now it’s been ten whole years, ten whole years! With just one word from you, that Captain Li could have been dealt with, so why won’t you help me? You know what will happen if I go and apologize to him!"
"Why should I help you?" In contrast to Chen Wanru’s agitation, Li Qingshen was exceptionally calm. He slightly furrowed his brow, moved his lips, and said, "Our relationship is purely one of cooperation; I owe you no favors. If you hadn’t just helped me out, I wouldn’t even bother to remind you!"
He had come to the third floor on purpose to prevent Ling Momo from catching up with him and happened to see Chen Wanru throw wine at Captain Li and strut toward the restroom.
He also followed into the restroom, got Chen Wanru to fetch him a piece of clothing, and after getting dressed, he dragged her out to apologize to Captain Li!
In this circle, if you offend a wealthy person, at worst you lose an investment, but if you offend Captain Li, you’re definitely doomed!
"But, you should at least have some basic sympathy!" Chen Wanru stared at Li Qingshen, becoming even more agitated, "You’re the young master of the Baodi Group’s Li Family. All you need to do is say she’s with you, and he wouldn’t do anything to me!"
"Don’t test my limits!" Li Qingshen spoke evenly, his demeanor still as cold as ever, and pushed Chen Wanru aside as he walked towards the elevator.
Chen Wanru’s expression went through a thousand changes, but in the end, it turned into a bitter smile. She meant to be angry, but it came out as a chuckle: "Limits? Just asking you to say she’s your companion challenges your limit? You think I don’t know what’s really on your mind?"
"It’s all for that woman in your heart that you preserve all your sanctity!"
"For ten whole years, hasn’t everything you’ve done been for her?"
"But, does she appreciate it?"
"She doesn’t even know that you like her!"
"And here you are, acting like a fool, maintaining your purity for her sake!"
"Could it be that, in your life, apart from her, there is no other pursuit?"
Chen Wanru’s words, while light, did not affect the ongoing party in the distance.
Yet, they could be heard perfectly clearly by both Li Qingshen and Ling Momo.
A slight tremor resonated in Ling Momo’s heart—so it turned out that his seeming indifference was purely because he didn’t want any woman to tarnish the purity he had reserved in his heart for the girl he deeply loved. Even a casual remark like "she’s my companion", he was unwilling to utter... Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel⁂fire.net
In that instant, Ling Momo felt that the girl Teacher liked... was truly fortunate.
Leaving aside how terrible Li Qingshen’s temper was and how peculiar his character, this deep affection was something very few men in the world could possess...
Li Qingshen stopped in his tracks and turned around indifferently.
His stunningly handsome face took one’s breath away, reflecting an astonishing brilliance under the illumination of the lights.
His gaze slowly shifted, targeting the vase standing in front of Ling Momo.
Ling Momo was shocked to her core, quickly crouching behind it, not daring to move.
She always felt, in that moment, that Li Qingshen might somehow see her.
A hint of tenderness surfaced in Li Qingshen’s dark eyes, and he opened his mouth to speak, enunciating each word slowly.
