Deliberate favoritism, the cold-faced president surrenders obediently

Lin Qian was lying on the bed laughing, and was caught by Ye Huan who had returned, "What's the matter? You look so happy."

Lin Qian shared with her that her mother would be able to undergo surgery soon, and also told Ye Huan everything that had happened that day.

She said with envy in her eyes, "Lin Qian, you are so happy. It feels like Cinderella being saved by the prince in a fairy tale."

"Besides, Li Yanxiu is so handsome. It's so enviable to be able to kiss a guy like him on the street. It sounds very romantic."

Ye Huan added gossipingly, "He must have taken a fancy to you. Rumor has it that Li Yanxiu is not interested in women and is cold and ruthless, but he saved you several times..."

Lin Qian didn't know how to answer. After all, she didn't know what was going on between her and Li Yanxiu. Moreover, Li Yanxiu once said that he couldn't influence his marriage.

He couldn't possibly marry her!

Thinking of this, Lin Qianjin sighed.

But Ye Huan was still talking non-stop and even ordered some food to celebrate.

Ye Huan called her but she didn't respond. He moved closer to her and poked her arm, "What are you thinking about? I said we should buy some food to celebrate. Why don't you say anything?"

Ye Huan took out his phone and opened the app without waiting for her to answer, and ordered several takeouts. "You don't know that I'm dying of greed because of my recent diet. I'll take this opportunity to indulge myself, hehe."

Lin Qian couldn't help laughing when she saw Ye Huan's disappointing look.

After a while, Ye Wei brought back several bags of takeout from the door one after another.

Thinking that her mother's surgery would go smoothly in a few days, Lin Qian's brows relaxed a little.

I really should relax today. If I keep keeping myself tense like this, no one would be able to bear it.

While she was stunned, Ye Wei had already unpacked the takeaway and placed it on the table.

She rushed over and pulled Lin Qian to the table, "What are you still thinking about? There are so many delicious foods waving at you."

Ye Wei always behaves in a generous and lavish manner like a rich lady. Lin Qian looked at the various small dishes on the table and dropped her jaw in surprise. "Are you sure we can finish it?"

"Oh, yeah, sure."

As he spoke, Ye Wei opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Lin Qian. Lin Qian was so happy today that she naturally did not refuse.

"I wish you can take down Li Yanxiu, the president of Li Group, soon!"

Lin Qian poured beer into his mouth, and his hands shook and he started coughing.

Ye Wei’s words shocked her a little.

Ye Wei has always been her good friend. She certainly hopes that after Lin Qian gets away from the scumbag, she will find a man who is better than Lu Jingchuan and beat him.

But... Lin Qian didn't know what two people meant, but she knew clearly that the relationship between her and Li Yanxiu was not as good as a piece of duckweed...

She seldom drank, and maybe because she was thinking of him or something else, she got drunk.

They drank until about midnight, and stopped when both of them were drunk.

Ye Wei was addicted to alcohol and had already passed out. Lin Qian used the remaining time of consciousness to carry her back to bed.

Ye Wei turned over and fell asleep. Lin Qian picked up her phone and opened Li Yanxiu's chat box, looking at the only few sentences the two had sent before.

Li Yanxiu's profile picture is a picture of a black curtain, and when you click into his circle of friends, there is only a horizontal line.

It suits his temperament very well.

She thought about what Ye Wei said to her.

I felt a little sad.

At this time, a row of green bubbles appeared in the white dialog box.

It was Li Yanxiu who sent her a message.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Li Yanxiu, [Are you asleep? Teacher Lin. ]

Next is a picture, which shows the night view of the bustling streets of the imperial capital taken from a high vantage point. It can be seen that this photo was taken in his office.

Lin Qian had been there and could see the iconic signal tower through the entire glass wall of her office.

He is still working overtime so late.

Lin Qian replied, "No."

Li Yanxiu received a WeChat message and looked at the message from Lin Qian with a smile on his face.

Li Yanxiu, [Teacher Lin, I'm going on a business trip next week. Would you like to go to City B with me?]

Lin Qian was a little hesitant.

Her slender fingers typed and deleted the words on the screen.

Li Yanxiu looked at the dialog box that said "input is in progress"... and then it disappeared...

He couldn't help but chuckle. Thinking of Lin Qian's conflicted and hesitant expression opposite him, he found it a little cute.

She hesitated again and again, but finally rejected the man.

Li Yanxiu did not reply, and Lin Qian knew that this might really be their last contact.

An extremely noble man invited her again and again, but she refused every time, and slowly his interest was worn away.

The slight ambiguity that had just ignited disappeared completely in this rejection.

In the next few days, Li Yanxiu didn't send any WeChat messages or make any phone calls. Lin Qian thought that their fate had ended.

One morning a week later, Lin Qian was about to go to the coffee shop to work when she received a call from Li Yanxiu.

She answered the phone with some confusion, "Boss Li? You're looking for me?"

Li Yanxiu is now at the airport preparing to fly to City B, and flight information is being broadcast in the airport lobby.

Li Yanxiu confirmed with Lin Qian once again, "Do you really want to think about whether you want to go to City B with me to relax?"

Lin Qian was a little shaken.

But she couldn't leave because her mother was about to have surgery.

She clenched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white, and said softly, "No, Mr. Li, I wish you a safe journey."

Li Yanxiu no longer forced himself and said to Lin Qian, "I will be on a business trip to City B for about a week. Wait for me to come back."

Lin Qian's sealed heart was stirred again.

She didn't understand why Li Yanxiu said that, and why he said it so ambiguously.

But she still responded, "Yeah."

Lin Qian's "hmm" was like a hook in her mouth, so sweet and charming that Li Yanxiu had a doting smile on his face.

His voice was light, but it was full of doting as he said, "Be good and wait for me to come back. Take care of yourself and don't let others bully you."

Lin Qian said "hmm" again shyly.

Li Yanxiu hung up the phone reluctantly.

But her heart was even warmer, because besides her parents and Ye Wei, he was the first person who cared about her.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yanxiu leaned his entire back on the sofa, his black eyes nodding.

After a long silence, he raised his hand to signal his assistant Zhou He to come over and explained the Lin family's affairs to him.

Zhou He hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The man then left the airport VIP room satisfied.

Lin Qian had just hung up the phone when the cafe manager called.

She picked up the phone and greeted the manager politely, "Good morning, Manager Tang. Don't worry, I'll be right over."

But Manager Tang on the other side changed his usual enthusiasm and said coldly, "Lin Qian, you are fired!"
