In the CEO’s office at Li Group skyscraper, Cui Jiangjing had been lingering all afternoon, his mouth dry from talking, but the man buried in his work showed no signs of acknowledging him.
“Come on, at least pay me some attention, will you? Do you think I’m here to perform a crosstalk alone?! ”
With a throat parched and tongue dry, he finally stopped, grabbed the water cup beside him, and gulped down a cup of water.
“What’s actually going on between you and Rong Yan? Are you really interested in her? From what I see, she doesn’t seem that into you. Have you pursued her?
Don’t tell me you’ve been rejected?”
It had to be said, sometimes having a crow’s mouth is quite prescient, at least in hitting someone’s sore spot!
The man who had been ignoring him finally looked up, his narrow eyes slanting a glance at him, and with irritation, put down the pen in his hand, “Do you have nothing better to do?”
Seeing that he had finally gotten his attention, Cui Jiangjing immediately approached with a sly grin, “Not really, I’m just here to inquire about your love life and incidentally report the intelligence I’ve gathered, right?” “Oh, right, when are you meeting her next? Have you asked her out yet?”
“Previously, you only got to meet her by tricking her. How are you going to court a girl if you can’t even get a date? Do you need me to help you out again?”
“No need.”
He was ruthlessly rejected!
Cui Jiangjing wasn’t one to be easily dismissed, immediately getting closer again, his mouth never ceasing, “Why not? How are you going to date without asking the girl out? You’re taking this dating thing too casually! Let me tell you…”
After an afternoon of relentless buzzing in his ear, Li Shengxiao looked at his watch. Suddenly, he spun his chair around and picked up the coat from the back of his seat. “Where are you going?”
“Home.”
It was about time; Rong Yan should have returned from his mother’s by now.
He should set off too.
Rong Yan left the Li Family’s old mansion in a good mood.
This time, not only did she give Little Baby acupuncture, but in front of Mrs. Li, she and their Duidui also exchanged phone numbers, so they could communicate through his little genius phone watch from now on!
She declined Mrs. Li’s offer to send her home with a driver and instead hailed a taxi back to her small apartment.
Her rented apartment wasn’t far from Country Garden, but it was still quite a distance from the Li Family’s old mansion.
It took Rong Yan half an hour to get back, and just as she arrived at her front door, she noticed that the door of the adjacent apartment was wide open. Inside, there was the continuous sound of items being moved around.
“Be careful with the sofa; don’t scratch it.
“Over here, quickly put the bed in. Yes, now shift it a bit to the left.”
“You, just place the vase on the table. No roses, how many times have I said it, no roses! Mr. Li likes baby’s breath, quick, replace them all with baby’s breath!”
“Okay.”
“And that painting, how many times must I say it, bring over the landscape painting we just bought at the auction!”
Curious, Rong Yan peeked inside with her keys in hand and noticed that it seemed like a new neighbor had moved in, and they were in the midst of an extensive renovation.
The new neighbor appeared quite wealthy; why would they move to this neighborhood?
Regardless, it’s none of her business!
Just as she was about to insert the key to open her door, suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her.
” “Rong Yan.
Fuck! No way? That voice is… She stiffened as though stricken by acupressure, slowly twisting her neck around, unsurprised to meet a pair of domineering eagle eyes.
Damn it! It really was him!
She was thrown completely off balance but managed to force a twitch of her lips, “Mr. Li, how come you’re…”
Here!
