The appearance of Xu Qian broke the awkwardness between Li Rong and me. 0
 
Li Rong almost instantly stood in front of me, blocking my way. Xu Qian glanced at us, his expression unreadable. He bent down and placed the medicine box and shoe box on the sink. "If you don't need these, just throw them away," he said, then looked directly into my eyes. "The party is over, and there are still people waiting to be served." 0
 
"Don't make me wait too long." 0
 
With that, he turned and left. I watched his back, feeling a bit lost. What was he preparing these things for? 0
 
Li Rong, feeling jealous, spoke up sourly, "He must be trying to seduce you!" 0
 
"..." 0
 
I rolled my eyes, not wanting to engage with him, and turned to leave the bathroom. 0
 
Li Rong quickly followed me. "Sister, wait for me! I'll go home with you." 0
 
"Who wants to go home with you?" I looked down. "You can go home by yourself!" 0
 
"Sister," Li Rong tugged at my arm, "please take me with you?" 0
 
"No." 0
 
"Sister, I'm begging you." Li Rong looked at me with a pitiful expression. 0
 
I lowered my gaze, avoiding his eyes. Xu Qian had glanced at me before leaving, his gaze meaningful. He said, "I wonder if you'll regret raising such a little pet." "It might become your trouble." 0
 
I saw him off and then went to find Li Rong. Before I could locate him, I spotted him at the elevator door. He had his head down, looking like a discarded child. 0
 
I sighed and walked over. "Let's go; I'll take you back." 0
 
"Okay." Li Rong looked at me, his eyes sparkling. 0
 
 
I drove him to his place. 0
He lived in a very rundown old neighborhood, the environment was poor, and it was a mix of people. 0
I followed him into the dark hallway. 0
Li Rong walked in front of me, protecting me and preventing me from bumping into anyone. 0
When we reached the third floor, he opened the door and invited me in. 0
I looked around and frowned, "Why do you live in this place?" 0
"What else can I do?" Li Rong looked at me, "Sister, didn't you say you didn't want me anymore?" 0
"I..." 0
"This place is already good," Li Rong said, looking at me, "at least it's better than wandering outside." 0
"You..." I looked at him, not knowing what to say. 0
Li Rong looked at me and suddenly smiled, "Sister, do you know? Living here reminds me every day that I don't deserve you." 0
"I tell myself every day that if it weren't for you, I could never live in such a nice house." 0
"So sister, you can't abandon me." 0
"If I don't want you, do you have to stay here?" His words made me laugh in anger, "Why does that sound so ridiculous?" 0
"I have no choice," Li Rong looked at me, "I can only comfort myself like this." 0
I looked at him, momentarily unsure of what to say. 0
Li Rong looked at me: "Sister, are you leaving?" 0
"Yeah." I nodded. 0
"It's very dark outside," Li Rong looked at me, "it's dangerous for you to walk alone." 0
"I..." 0
"Sister," Li Rong looked at me, "will you stay tonight?" 0
"I..." 0
"Sister," Li Rong looked at me, "I'm begging you." 0
 
The next day, I didn't leave. 0
Last night, Li Rong clung to me all night. 0
 
 
He was gentle and clingy like a cat. 0
He called me "sister," his voice soft and laced with a hint of coaxing. 0
He said, "Sister, please don't go, okay?" 0
He said, "Sister, I want you." 0
His tenderness and clinginess made it hard for me to refuse. 0
So, we tangled together in his small room for the entire night. 0
When I woke up in the morning, my back ached. 0
I didn't leave; instead, I had breakfast. 0
After breakfast, I said goodbye to Li Rong and then headed to the office. 0
Assistant Liang noticed I looked unwell and asked, "President Qin, what's wrong?" 0
"I'm fine, just didn't sleep all night." 0
As soon as Assistant Liang heard this, he immediately went to make me coffee. 0
After drinking the coffee, I felt a bit more energized. 0
Assistant Liang handed me some documents: "President Qin, the representatives from Fu Group have arrived." 0
"Where are they?" 0
"At China International Trade Center." 0
"Okay," I nodded, "I'll go greet them personally." 0
Assistant Liang seemed surprised: "President Qin, this kind of small matter can be handled by me." 0
"No need," I smiled, "Fu Group is an important partner; we can't be neglectful." 0
"Understood." 0
I went downstairs personally to greet the representatives from Fu Group. 0
The meeting went smoothly, and at noon, Xu Qian and I walked out of the conference room together. 0
Xu Qian looked at me and asked, "Shall we have lunch together?" 0
"Sure," I nodded. 0
Xu Qian chose a private dining restaurant; it was a bit out of the way but had a lovely atmosphere. 0
It was elegant and tranquil. 0
 
 
Xu Qian skillfully brewed tea. 0
I watched his movements and smiled, "President Fu, do you brew tea at home too?" 0
"Of course," Xu Qian glanced at me, "My family loves drinking tea." 0
"Heh," I chuckled, "I don't believe that." 0
"Why?" Xu Qian looked at me, "You don't believe I can brew tea?" 0
"I don't." 0
"Why not?" 0
"Because someone like you wouldn't brew tea at home." 0
"Someone like me?" Xu Qian stared at me, "What kind of person am I?" 0
"You..." 0
"Should someone like me be outside raising a bunch of pets?" Xu Qian looked at me with a mocking tone. 0
"Isn't that right?" I looked at him and instinctively nodded. 0
Xu Qian: "..." 0
He was furious, glaring at me, "That's still better than you." 0
"What about me?" I looked at him, "I think I'm doing just fine." 0
"Fine?" Xu Qian sneered, "If you're so fine, why do you leave your pets at home?" 0
"I..." 0
"Liu Yajie, you're just a bad woman." 0
I: "..." 0
I was so angry that I gritted my teeth, "You're not any better." 0
"What makes me worse?" Xu Qian looked at me, "At least I wouldn't leave my pets alone at home." 0
"..." 0
I stared at him, rendered speechless by his retort. 0
Xu Qian scooped me a spoonful of peanut soup and said, "Eat more, it's good for your brain." 0
"..." 0
