“It’s the cola meal set.” He looked up, “Did you make it?” Feeling embarrassed under his gaze, I said, “Ah Bing made it.” (That’s the gardener.)
A flicker of color passed through his deep, dark eyes, along with a hint of warmth, fleeting. He lowered his head and ate everything clean. Strangely, I felt genuinely happy, and it wasn’t just about the assassination plan… “Next time, make it for two.” “Huh?” “We’ll share the burden.” He stood up, trapping me against the desk with his arms on either side, “Have you tried it?” …It really was amusing… “Next time, can we skip the cola? I’m not fond of fizzy drinks.”
“Sure,” I actually agreed… -.- I’m such a fool… His face loomed closer again, lips descending, and I quickly blocked him. That’s the end of the assassination attempt for today! Pointing out the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, I exclaimed, “There’s a plane! It’s a terrorist attack!!” Come on, please crash into us! Qi Yufeng, dissatisfied, turned to look, seeing a plane slowly crossing the distant sky… I tumbled out of his grasp and dashed to the elevator, not forgetting to shout, “Hurry up, hurry up! If we take the elevator now, we can still make it!” As the elevator doors slowly closed, I saw Secretary Fang’s stern face collapse… Wow, what an embarrassment!
Wandering alone on the bustling street, my gaze wasn’t caught by anything, just aimlessly walking. I was scared, because of Qi Yufeng. No matter how bizarrely he treated me before, I didn’t mind, but just now, watching him finish the bento I made, I felt strangely touched. I even wanted to cook him something better, something more delicious. It’s all so confusing…
My life now has a routine. Every morning, I’m dragged out of bed for breakfast, then I roam around the luxurious mansion. When boredom sets in, I steal Ah Bing’s straw hat and play among the flowers. But when the time comes, I’m forcibly carried into the kitchen… All because of that assassination meal, I’ve sacrificed my own happiness! Due to my regular appearances, I’ve been cornered by some mindless butterflies and bees who use all sorts of harsh words to insult and drive me away. We’re all in the same business, right? Is the competition really that fierce just for money? Want me to leave? Be straightforward, I asked them for thirty million. The result? After a moment of frustration, they cursed me for being shameless and then left with a huff. Pfft, can men be eaten? They claim to love him, but it’s his looks, wealth, and status they’re after. Qi Yufeng is undoubtedly a top-tier property, who wouldn’t want to live there? But everyone has seen it, fantasized about it, yet no one wants to pay the down payment. How sad. Calling me the third party? Negotiating with me? Ridiculous, what a pointless act. The sin of the third party is never as great as that of the one who chooses to betray! Not to mention, I’m not even sure how many Ns I am.
Today, however, a small incident occurred. As usual, I was dropped off by the black-suited bodyguard at the entrance of Qi Corporation, where a beautiful woman blocked my way. This one was different, delicate and pitiable. Has Qi Yufeng’s taste changed? Seeing this, the bodyguard quickly got out of the car to ask if I needed help. I told him to wait in the car, confident in my approach. She was the epitome of a well-brought-up young lady, speaking in a whisper, head bowed, “Are you Miss Liu?” I smiled wickedly, “Yes, little sister, what can I do for you?” My hand reached out to her…
She looked up with clear, bright eyes, puzzled for a moment, then said, “Actually, I’m older than you; you shouldn’t call me ‘sister’. I’m here about Brother Qi…” I patted her shoulder approvingly, “It’s rare for someone like you to have such courage. Well done! Keep going!” She blushed and continued, “I… can I ask you to leave him?” Just as I expected. I shook my head, very much like a mistress, “Oh, you know, in our line of work, it’s hard to find a generous patron like Qi Yufeng. How can I just let go?”
“You’re with Brother Qi for money?” “Basically, you could say that. If you give me thirty million, I might consider leaving him.” “Don’t you like him?” “I like money more.” She thought for a moment, then asked me to get into her car, a luxury extended limousine! There was even ice cream inside! As I was enjoying my ice cream, a check appeared before me, “Here’s thirty million, please remember what you said.” I took the check, stunned. It was really thirty million, with lots of zeros! “Are you serious?” She nodded vigorously, “I like Brother Qi. This money was for my tuition and living expenses, but without him, what’s the point…” “You’re too naive!” “I know, but I like him!” “What’s your relationship with Qi Yufeng? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Fiancée? Have you been intimate?” She shook her head, “I’m nothing at all, our families just have business dealings, a familial connection. Brother Qi has been very good to me…””He’s not one to be kind to just anyone, which shows he really cares about you. Maybe he treasures you and doesn’t want you to get involved in this circle. You shouldn’t let your relationship be tainted by money!” “I know, but I don’t want to see him with anyone else…” “You should know, he’s not just with you.” “I can’t help it… I don’t want this either…” I found a tissue to wipe her tears; she was really beautiful, how could I bear to see such a lovely person cry? Even her tears were enchanting, a natural beauty, born to be cherished and held in the palm of one’s hand. Yet, she’s fallen into the clutches of Qi Yufeng, this demon king. Oh heavens, you’ve mistaken the wise for the foolish in vain! “He’s been good to me, but it’s like how one treats a younger sister…” Oh, she’s crying on me now… “Do you really like him that much?” Is he worth it? She cried even harder, ah… I comforted her, how touching. Pushing her away, I handed the check back, “But you…” I got out of the car, leaving her with a dashing smile, “I won’t take your money. In just over a month, I’ll leave him, so save your energy for other women~ Good luck.” “Really?” I flicked my hair, “Really.” I turned away with impeccable grace, looking incredibly cool, and strode into the Qi Corporation building, tears flowing in my heart… Thirty million… T-T
