During the time he was accumulating revenge, he had been so gentle, carefully protecting her to create a scene for the paparazzi of a man spending lavishly for his beloved. He had spoken countless sweet words to make her laugh – were those all fake?
”I’ll return all the compensation…”
Her manager came out, overhearing her words. “Qianqian, are you crazy?”
”I’m not crazy! Zhanyi, including the jewelry you gave me and the money transferred to my account, I’ll return everything. Can we start over? Please?”
He tightened his jaw. “My requirements for you are written in that contract. Nothing more. Those assets were ‘compensation’ for you acting with me, that’s all.”
With that, he walked out without looking back.
”President Wei walks so slowly. Such a short distance, and it took nearly five minutes.”
He strode out the door and looked into the parking lot, seeing Qingyan leaning against the car, looking at her watch.
She hadn’t left! A sense of relief strongly struck his heart.
He walked over slowly. “Were you waiting for me?”
”I don’t want to miss dinner and have to pay for a taxi home.”
He narrowed his eyes at her. Was this rebellious young woman deliberately trying to provoke him?
”You’re quite clear-headed,” he mused. “If you hadn’t run out, your dinner would have been taken care of.”
”I don’t want to eat with your ex-girlfriend. Who knows what you two did in that private room.”
Wei Zhanyi’s dark eyes suddenly filled with emotion, his expression changing repeatedly.
From initially wanting to strangle her, to suddenly laughing as if discovering something interesting, to finally suppressing all emotions and staring directly at her.
Qingyan felt goosebumps all over. “What are you looking at?”
”You’re interesting. Very interesting.” He laughed again, his smile reaching the corners of his eyes.
”You seem happy. Is it because of the ‘ex-girlfriend’ situation?” Somehow, she found her own words bitter.
He remained silent, continuing to laugh, as if knowing a great secret that only she was unaware of.
”Stop laughing.” His laughter irritated her.
He stopped his shoulders from shaking and looked at her seriously. “Ding Qingyan, you love me.”
She was stunned, her heart suddenly racing like a drum.
What did he say? She… loved him? No, impossible! Don’t ask her why, she just knew it was impossible.
