Mr. Li, you are out of favor

Li Sheng raised his eyes to look at the woman sitting in front of him at the moment, the eyes that could always vaguely see the melancholy between the brows, were looking out the window at the moment, without any focus, but they never turned back.

It could be seen that she was pretending to be calm.

The trace of helplessness and hurt in his tone just now, and the obvious desire to hide himself at this moment, make people feel distressed and entangled.

"Actually, you don't necessarily have to be happy, do you?"

After thinking in silence for a while, Li Sheng probably had his own judgment in mind, and asked Gao Qingman in a low tone.

"Some things are unavoidable."

Hearing his answer, Gao Qingman was obviously taken aback, raised his eyes to look at him, it took him a long time to recover, and turned his head again, this time he simply didn't look at her again.

"...Do you want to go back now?"

With Li Sheng's mind, he has already said so much, how could he still not know the truth, he just doesn't want to go into details.

He lowered his head and looked at the time. It had been about an hour since he saw Gao Qingman leaving. It would be embarrassing to continue sitting, so he suggested to go out and have a look.

"it is good."

Nodding his head, Gao Qingman stood up first, picked up his handbag, and followed him towards the door.

The car stopped at the gate of the Gao Group again, and Gao Qingman seemed a little nervous. He kept making fists with both hands, releasing them, making fists again, and taking a deep breath.

Seeing her various little movements, Li Sheng had a smile on his lips, he didn't express it too clearly, but just observed silently.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that she was about to unbuckle her seat belt, she stretched out her hand, grabbed her white and slender wrist, and whispered to hold her back.

"how?"

There was a touch of warmth on the wrist, and Gao Qingman suddenly felt his heart beating wildly. In the small space inside the car, there was an inexplicably more atmosphere.

"I'll go up with you."

It was already very late at this moment. Looking up at the building of the Gao Group, the only lit floor just now had also been turned off. It is estimated that you may only face darkness when you go up now.

"No, I can do it myself."

"I'll go up with you."

Gao Qingman habitually refused sharply, but his wrist was not loosened, and the other party still repeated it firmly.

Unable to resist his persistence, Gao Qingman actually didn't have that much confidence. In fact, it would be nice to have someone follow him. He raised his eyes to see his firm eyes, and finally chose to nod.

After swiping the card to enter the door, Gao Qingman was walking in front, but walked forward in the dark, and greeted the guard who came out to check the situation, but he couldn't see clearly at all.

There were no lights around, it was very dark.

I was thinking about whether to borrow the doorman's flashlight to use it. This feeling was somewhat scary, when I suddenly felt a warmth in my palm, and something leaned against it.

He glanced sideways at Li Sheng, a small piece of black flashed in front of his eyes, and then saw that he had already walked ahead.

Apparently, he did this to give himself a sense of peace of mind.

Gao Qingman, who was following behind, curled the corners of his mouth in the dark, feeling a little more moved in his heart.

The feeling of being protected by someone has not passed for so long, she even almost forgot that she is a woman!

- Ding dong.

The elevator door parted in front of his eyes, revealing the bright space inside. Gao Qingman faintly felt nervous, and subconsciously looked at his hand again, and suddenly began to wonder if he would just let go.

not at all.

Li Sheng held her boneless little hand tightly all the time, still walking in front, protecting Gao Qingman behind him, pressed the floor with ease, and then stood up straight as if nothing had happened, like a sculpture, without making a sound .

When the elevator door opened again, it was unsurprisingly facing a pitch-black office. Gao Qingman stood behind his tall figure and poked his head out. It was so pitch black that he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Where is the switch?"

Without turning his head, Li Sheng just asked in a low voice, he hadn't taken a step to go inside yet, and kept pressing the door button without moving.

"Here, on the wall, is about this height."

Gao Qingman pointed to the wall on the right, perhaps influenced by Li Sheng's intentional lowering of his voice, he also spoke softly, but exaggerated a lot, it was a completely sneaky feeling.

Curious about her voice, Li Sheng turned his head and saw the person who usually had a straight back, but now he bent slightly, carefully pointed to the wall at hand, and spoke to himself with an exaggerated expression.

The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a bit, he turned his head and walked into the office, at this moment he reluctantly let go of Gao Qingman's hand.

The moment he was let go, Gao Qingman was still a little bit disappointed, looking at his sweaty hands, he didn't know what he was thinking, and was about to follow out, but he stopped him.

Seeing Li Sheng walk out of the elevator, the lights in the office turned on again in a blink of an eye, and then motioned for her to come out after him.

"Actually, I'm not that afraid of the dark."

To be honest, Gao Qingman was a little moved in her heart, she never thought that Li Sheng would still be so caring.

"It's your business whether you're afraid or not."

Ignoring her words at all, Li Sheng turned his head and walked directly to her office, as if he was not very curious about what she was going to do.

"...It really did move?"

Standing in front of his card slot, Gao Qingman carefully looked at the documents he put down before leaving, an inexplicable pain flashed in his heart, he sighed helplessly, then turned around and walked to the office.

"Did you make it?"

Li Sheng sat calmly on the sofa in her office, still playing with his car keys in his hand, and asked casually, without any feeling of caring.

"What worked?"

"Didn't you design a trap, waiting for people to jump?"

Stopping what he was doing, Li Sheng grabbed the car keys in his palm, leaned over from the back of the sofa he was leaning on, and looked up at her with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"It worked, and it's still very successful."

Although he said it was affirmative, Gao Qingman's expression was not the slightest bit happy, even very heavy.

Seeing her performance, a hint of puzzlement flashed in Li Sheng's eyes.

"Shouldn't you be happy?"

His brows were slightly frowned, his voice was still calm, but he was asking seriously.

"I don't even know who she is, why am I happy?"

In fact, what I was really worried about was that the colleague who stole my documents was Li Xuewen.

Especially today, after Li Xuewen saw her sitting behind Shen Gaoyu's desk without looking surprised at all, Gao Qingman always felt a little uneasy subconsciously.

"I'm afraid it's Li Xuewen?"

Li Sheng raised his eyebrows, asked slowly, and returned to the casual sitting position just now.

In fact, Gao Qingman has never seen such a relaxed look.

"Well, if it was him, I might have been discovered."

There was worry in Gao Qingman's tone, and he even sighed again when he talked about the latter part.

"So what if you find out?"

Still looking calm, Li Sheng didn't care much, he didn't think it was a very serious matter.

"Some things are useless to tell you, anyway, they can't be discovered!"

You know, the plan has just begun. She wants to take revenge on Li Xuewen, but the first thing to do is to make herself strong enough. Only when she has a firm foothold can she have enough opportunities to take revenge on others.

"Your disguise is very clumsy, it is really difficult not to be discovered."

Not to comfort her, but to poke directly at the place she cares most about.

On this point, Li Sheng always seemed a little ruthless.

"That's just for you, Li Xuewen doesn't have your brains."

Subconsciously, he answered the sentence, and after finishing speaking, Gao Qingman was taken aback.

Since when did Li Sheng become the smartest man in her mind?

Back then, she thought that the smartest person in the world belonged to Li Xuewen. At that time, when there was love, everything was good to see him, and even his bad habits became cute.

Thinking about it now, the original self was really blind to death.

What did she like about such a shameless man who didn't even have a bottom line?
"……Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

Obviously, Li Sheng was taken aback for a while, and then he lowered his head and smiled lightly in response. This understatement already revealed the message that he was very much appreciated by this compliment.

"It's not a compliment. As a businessman, you are indeed very smart."

There is nothing that cannot be admitted, Gao Qingman continued, putting down the bag in his hand, and went to the small tea room in the office.

"I want an iced Americano."

Leaning on the sofa, Li Sheng spoke towards her back, without any intention of looking outside.

"I'm not a coffee shop!"

Gao Qingman was a little dumbfounded, stopped, turned around, and teased him half-jokingly.

"You like coffee so much, why don't I open a coffee shop for you, don't worry about it anymore, can't you?"

Li Sheng sat silent for a while, did not answer her joke, watched her figure disappear at the door of the tea room, stood up and chased after her, half leaned against the door, and said something to her.

"..."

The hand that was preparing to grind the coffee grounds stopped, and Gao Qingman felt slightly suffocated.

I vaguely remember that when she was very young, like other girls, she had such a vulgar dream, about opening a coffee shop.

It's the kind of quiet place where no one is making noise and you can concentrate on making coffee.

Even after she got married, she still felt that such a life should be very interesting.

It's a pity that along the way, I don't know why, and I ended up here.

"What do you think?"

You can see her hesitation from the back, Li Sheng was a little helpless, reached out to take the coffee beans in her hand, began to grind the beans by himself, and opened his mouth to her who came back to his senses, bowed his head slightly, and watched with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling. I really don't know where I will go in life. By the way, can I ask you a question?"

Gao Qingman lowered his head, avoiding his deliberate gaze, a wave of turmoil appeared in his heart.

Never thought that one day she and Li Sheng would be in such a small space, so close that they could run into each other just by turning around, and they would even chat about homework.
