His eyes mixed with a hint of warmth, it wasn't her illusion (continuation of Wang Livi's scene)

  When I tidied up Qizhi's room in the morning, he was covered with what seemed to be the new quilt she had taken out last night. What a strange thing!

  Yang Shu shook her head and carried Qi Chengzhi's quilt to his bedroom.

  She

  ...clouds...

  Song Yu took a deep breath before coming out, and he was indeed a bit embarrassed to face Qi Chengzhi.

  She got drunk last night and doesn't know what she was mumbling about, all she remembers is that she seemed to have said a lot of things from the bottom of her heart, but can't recall exactly what they were.

  When he arrived at the restaurant, Qi Chengzhi had already finished his breakfast and was still sitting at the table reading the newspaper.

  Song Yu stood awkwardly beside the dinner table, cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "That... Cheng Shao, I'm sorry to have troubled you last night."

  Chi Zheng raised his eyes from the newspaper and looked at her lightly, without showing any expression, and said: "Let's eat, after finishing I'll send you to the company."

  "It's fine for me to take a taxi myself." Song Yu sat down, looking at the sumptuous breakfast Yang Shu had prepared. It was truly a long time since she'd had such a good breakfast.

  "Are you sure? It's okay if we're late?" Qi Cheng raised an eyebrow, and Song Yu felt that his expression was simply self-mockery.

  Song Yu glanced at her watch, there was less than an hour left, from here to the company, whether taking a taxi or waiting for the bus, after deducting the time spent waiting for the car, plus the traffic jam on the road, it would take at least an hour and a half to arrive.

  Song Yu no longer insisted, and quickly ate his breakfast with his head down. It was a rare and sumptuous breakfast, but he didn't have the heart to enjoy it properly.

  Can't help but feel resentful, why can't Qi Cheng let Yang Shu call her earlier.

  "Jian Yi called you last night, but you were too drunk to wake up, so I didn't bother calling you. Later, he called again several times, and I was afraid of disturbing your sleep, so I blocked his number. If you miss him, you can unblock him from the blacklist." Qi Chengzhi's face was still hidden behind the newspaper, and his voice remained indifferent.

  Song Yu hummed in agreement and blocked him as well, there was nothing good to say to Jian Yi anyway.

  At least for now, she doesn't even want to see his face or talk to him.

  She didn't know what would happen next, but she knew it was unlikely they could even remain friends.

  Qī Chéngzhī looked away from the newspaper again, narrowing his eyes at Sòng Yuē's mobile phone by her side, which was where he had left it before she arrived.

  "Why don't you drag him out of the blacklist?" Qi Chengzhi glanced at him lightly.

  Song Yu was stunned for a moment before he understood what Qi Chengzhi meant, and then said: "Just leave it like that."

  Chi Cheng stopped talking and continued reading his newspaper.

  Song Yu quickly finished his meal, and Qi Chengzhi got up and walked out without saying a word, not even greeting Song Yu, leaving him caught off guard. He hastily grabbed his bag, picked up his phone, and hurriedly followed after him.

  At this time, being able to arrive at the company on time was already a blessing, and she didn't have time to go home and change clothes either.

  Sitting in Qi Chengzhi's car, Song Yu felt a bit awkward.

  He kissed her twice, but now he's acting as if nothing happened, as if those things never occurred.

  She was always on her guard, but it seemed that Qi Cheng also didn't have any intention of taking advantage of her again.

  Perhaps he knew she had someone in her heart and gave up?

  Sneaking a peek at him, he's wearing glasses again, covering his deep and inscrutable eyes that are impossible to see through, his profile is perfectly handsome, making one's heart skip a beat at first sight.

  Her heart skipped a beat too, and Song Yu hastily withdrew her gaze, not daring to look again, intently staring at the time on the screen to distract herself.

  As they were approaching the company, Song Yu calculated and said, "Let me off at that subway station entrance over there. It's very close to the company, I can walk from here."

  "... Qi Cheng glanced at her, his inscrutable gaze instantly making Song Yu lose her nerve."

  Song Yu subconsciously explained: "The company entrance is crowded with people coming and going, and if seen by others, it will spread rumors."

  "...the train passed through the subway station with a steady speed, without even slowing down for a moment."

  "......" Song Yu silently looked at him, finally sighing helplessly, "Then let's stop in front of the company gate."

  Finally, the car stopped in front of the company gate. Fortunately, the people entering and exiting were from other companies in the building, and she didn't see anyone from her own company.

  Song Yu Guang was checking the situation at the company entrance when she suddenly felt a warmth on her ears, warm air sprinkled on her ear roots and neck, carrying Qi Zheng's breath.

  Song Yu hastily turned his head around and was shocked into holding his breath.

  Zi Chengzhi's face was inches away from hers. Just now when she turned her head, his lips almost brushed against her cheek and the corner of her mouth.

  His breath was scorching hot on her face, Song Yu's ears were burning, and her entire face turned red.

  The two were so close that she looked into his eyes through her glasses for the first time.

  There was a hint of warmth in his eyes, and it wasn't her illusion.

  She seemed to be caught by his deep eyes and couldn't get rid of it, staring blankly at him, being sucked in by his gaze.

  The two people's breathing intertwined, Song Yu's heart beating fiercely, "Cheng... Young Master Cheng..."

  "Unbuckle your seatbelt." Qi Chengzhi said lightly, without even a slight curve of his mouth, which was completely different from the warmth in his eyes.

  This time, Song Yu's gaze fell unconsciously on his lightly opening and closing lips again, thin lips looked severe, but she knew how soft they actually were.

  Thinking of him kissing her, looking at his lips, hers began to dry and burn, she unconsciously swallowed, and her eyes fell on his double lips, staring boldly.

  Qī Chéngzhī's lips slightly curled up with a small arc, unfastening the seatbelt from Sòng Yǔ's leg side. As his hand reached around to the door edge beside Sòng Yǔ, his fingertips lightly brushed against her abdomen.

  Song Yu's lower abdomen suddenly contracted violently, tightly sucked inwards, and she didn't dare to look at Qi Cheng again, lowering her head with a red face and hot ears.

  "Are you not getting off?" His voice was heard again, this time coming from beside him.

  Song Yu looked up and found that Qi Chengzhi had already sat up straight, holding the steering wheel as if nothing had happened.

  She hastily opened the car door and fled in a flurry.

  She walked towards the company entrance with her back facing Qi Cheng, her palm unconsciously stuck to her lower abdomen, where it was still warm from his finger joints.

  Qī Chéngzhī saw the person coming down from the front of Jūn Wēi's car, smiled and drove away.

  ……

  ……

  Song Yu's arm was pulled from behind with great force. She turned around and saw Jian Yi's tired and angry face.

  "You didn't come home all night, where did you go!" Song Yu hadn't even opened his mouth when Jian Yi suddenly threw out a barrage of questions, "Just now, how was it that you got off Qi Chengzhi's car? This morning I called you and a man answered, was it him? You didn't come home all night, were you with him, did you go to his place?"

  Song Yu frowned, unhappy, and pushed him away. "Jian Yi, what identity do you have to question me now? You're asking me these things like a boyfriend, isn't that laughable? If you have such thoughts, why not put them on your girlfriend instead?"

  "I'm worried about you! I'm afraid he's taking advantage of you." Jian Yi stopped her, "Song Song, I know you're angry with me. Give me a chance to explain. Whatever it is, let's talk it out. Just stay away from Qi Chengzhi, that person is unreliable. You know what his family situation is like, and you'll end up losing out."

  "No matter who I'm with now, at least the other person is single and doesn't have another woman." Song Yu looked coldly at Jian Yi, "You've been with Qi Chengyue for two years, yet you still come to be with me. You tell me what jealousy is? You're still shameless enough to stand in front of me today, questioning my life, warning me not to be with anyone?"

  "Jian Yi, I don't want to lose face but you do, I don't want your girlfriend to come looking for me again and accuse me of being the third party. This is in front of the company gate, stop pulling my arm. From now on, unless necessary, we shouldn't meet each other." Song Yu said coldly, "Please let go, I still have work to do."

  Some eyes had already been cast around, and Jian Yi could only reluctantly make way, watching as Song Yu entered the company.

  He clenched his fists, thinking of what he saw through the rearview mirror in the car earlier, it seemed like Qi Chengzhi had kissed her.

  When he saw that scene, he was so angry that his eyes were about to split open.

  Because of his relationship with Qi Chengyue, he could only endure it and couldn't pull Song Yu down from Qi Chengzhi's car.

  ……

  ……

  Song Yu entered the elevator, and there were people from other companies inside, who had all witnessed the scene at the entrance just now.

  Song Yuqiang endured those uncomfortable gazes, her head lowered, her body trembling constantly.

  At this point in her life, she had a feeling of escaping from the mundane world.

  Entering the design department, there was no expected teasing from Ruan Danqin, asking if she hadn't changed clothes and where she had spent the night, but instead heard ear-piercing screams and quarrels.

  "Shameless thing, seducing men at such a young age! What does Zhao Rongcheng have besides money? With his short and ugly appearance, you're only sleeping with him for the money, aren't you? You think I'm not in the country, so you're being quite bold, huh!"

  Song Yu walked in and saw a middle-aged woman in her 40s, grabbing Wang Liwei's hair, scolding and beating her.

  Wang Liwei didn't dare to talk back or fight back, she just kept crying and wailing, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, President Zhao save me!"

  On both sides of her stood two men in black suits, unknown what they were doing, looking like middle-aged women brought bodyguards, just watching from the side, this was probably also the reason why Wang Liwei did not dare to fight back.

  After a while, Song Yu recognized that the woman was Zhao's wife. She had been accompanying her daughter to study in New Zealand for many years, which is why Zhao was so reckless with Wang Liwei at the company.

  Song Yu quietly walked up to Ruan Dan Chen's side, who was eating popcorn and enjoying the show.

  "What's going on?" Song Yu whispered and asked.

  "Mrs. Zhao didn't know how she got the news, but she heard about Wang Liwei and Director Zhao's affair, and also that Director Zhao had rushed back from New Zealand because of Wang Liwei giving you a hard time, which almost made the company lose the big deal with Qi Lin. This morning as soon as she came to work, she burst in, didn't say a word, grabbed Wang Liwei by the hair and dragged her out, starting to scold and beat her."

  "See the two strong men beside? They are bodyguards brought by Zhao's wife, Wang Liwei didn't dare to fight back. If she dared to fight back, the bodyguards would take action." Ruan Danqin explained in a low voice.

  "Xin Qi, what's going on? What is this?" Zhao rushed over upon hearing the news and saw the miserable situation. He quickly pulled Zhang Xin Qi away, not letting her hit anymore.

  "What's going on? Don't you know?" Zhang Xinqi also really stopped, but then ordered two bodyguards, "Hit me!"

  Two bodyguards showed no expression and didn't think twice about hitting a woman, directly punching and kicking Wang Liwei who was curled up on the ground.

  Song Yu looked on from the side and felt a little sorry for Wang Liwei, but although she was pitied, she didn't stand up to plead for mercy.

  "Director Zhao! Save me, save me! Stop hitting me, Director Zhao, save me!" Wang Liwei, dazed from the beating, heard Director Zhao's voice and went to plead for mercy, stretching out her arm to grab Director Zhao's leg.

  Zhang Xinqi gave a stern glance, and Zhao turned his eyes away, silently retreating backwards to avoid her.

  There's no way around it, the company's major shareholder is actually Zhang Xinqi, and most of the family's assets are also in her name. Zhao's success today is entirely thanks to his wife.

  "Blood... it's bleeding!" someone shouted.

  King Liwei's body was covered in a thick layer of blood.

  Zhang Xinqi's expression became even more ruthless, "Good, you're actually pregnant with a wild seed! Fortunately, we found out early. Do you think that once the child is born, you can rest easy? Get her out of here and fire her immediately!"

  Two bodyguards lifted up Bai Liwei, one at her head and one at her feet.

  Wang Liwei's high heels had long since fallen off, and she was barefoot, with shocking bloodstains on her body. Her tears had stuck her hair to her face, making it impossible to see her entire face.

  Song Yu sighed and quietly dialed 120.

  Zhang Xinqi seemed to have vented her anger and glared at Director Zhao fiercely, "You come with me!"

  Having said that, the two of them left, one after the other.

  "Xin Qi, I..." In the office, Director Zhao pondered how to explain.

  "What's wrong with you! If it weren't for Cheng Dongge calling me, I wouldn't have known that you've messed up the company so badly!" Zhang Xinqi scolded, "Zhao Rongcheng, do you still want to live this life? If not, then leave. There are many young girls waiting for you outside!"

  "Xin Qi, don't... I was just momentarily confused, I..."

  "Zhao Rongcheng, Cheng Dongge personally called me on the phone, do you know what that means?" Zhang Xinqi said.

  Look at Zhao's thoughtful face, Zhang Xinqi was so angry that she scolded: "Fool! As the special assistant of Qi Chengzhi, what he says represents Qi Chengzhi. A small city like this, do you think it would need Qi Chengzhi's attention? The phone call from Chengdong Pavilion is all about Song Yu's affairs, think carefully! For a cheap person, are you going to offend Song Yu and offend Qi Chengzhi?"

  Director Zhao was shocked and suddenly all sorts of things from the past were connected by him.

  Director Zhao's face turned pale, and a look of fear finally appeared on his face.

  ……

  ……

  Song Yu didn't know how Zhao explained it to Zhang Xinqi, but when he came out again, although Zhang's face was iron-green, she didn't seem to plan on doing anything to him because of this matter.

  Because Zhang Xinqi said that in the future she will personally sit in the company.

  Later on, she gathered all the employees of the company and verbally warned the young female employees to be self-loving and self-respecting, otherwise Wang Liwei would be an example.

  Then, he comforted Song Yu and said that there would be absolutely no more unfair things happening in the future, letting Song Yu do well, a great future was waiting for her.

  This sudden change left Song Yu somewhat unable to react.

  At noon break, when everyone went out for lunch, they were still discussing this matter.

  Song Yu and Ruan Danchen walked out of the company laughing and chatting, but when they saw Jian Yi waiting at the door, Song Yu's face fell.

  Ruan Dan Chen looked at Jian Yi and then at Song Yu, wondering what kind of conflict these two had, Song Yu still showing a cold expression.

  Jian Yi took three steps forward and two steps back, raised his hand to grab Song Yu's arm, but then dropped it halfway.

  "Song Yu, let's talk! You said this morning that you didn't want to drag things out at the company entrance, so how about we go find a place to have lunch now and talk slowly, okay?" Jian Yi said, almost pleadingly.

  Ruan Danchen felt a bit awkward on one side, looked at the two of them and said to Song Yu: "No matter what's going on, it's better to clarify things early, I'll leave first."

  Song Yu let out a sigh and followed Jian Yi to a restaurant near the company, fearing that they would quarrel when excited, Song Yu even booked a private room.

  Facing each other again, Song Yu's mood was different this time.

  "What else do you want to tell me?" Song Yu looked at Jian Yi, still feeling that those deceptions were like a dream. Looking at his face, how could he have thought that he would do such things?

  "I didn't intentionally hide it from you. I...I really liked you, I've liked you since childhood. But back then you were the high and mighty Miss Song, and I wasn't worthy of you. Later when you went bankrupt, I wanted to help you, I thought I finally had a chance to be with you as equals."

  "But at that time, I had nothing, I couldn't help you with anything, nor could I give you anything. All I could do was work hard to climb up, in the past it was you who supported me, but now I want to be the one to support you." Jian Yi said slowly, he didn't have a habit of smoking, but his heart felt stifled and he couldn't find a way to relieve himself.

  "I don't have any feelings for Qian Xiyue, I just want to use her to make myself stronger, in order to help you."

  Song Yu pressed her lips together, listening to his words, and coldly opened her mouth: "When did I ever say that I needed your help? Now I'm telling you clearly, I don't need your help. Can you break up with Qi Chengyue now?"

  Jian Yi's mouth was open, but he remained silent.

  Song Yu sneered, "You can't bear to give up the benefits she brings you, Jian Yi. Don't make excuses for your own selfishness. You're helping me, perhaps just to satisfy your overinflated male ego. Since you've chosen to be with her, we really have nothing more to say."

  "If I'm angry, I am. If I hate you, that's not it." Song Yu stood up, facing the steaming hot food but having no appetite at all. "You don't need to come and explain anything to me again, I really think there's no need for that. You may like me, but it can't compare to the power and material wealth you get from being with Qi Chengyue."

  "In that case, I really don't know what else you want to explain to me. Jian Yi, let's just leave it at that. In the future, if we must meet, I hope it's only for official business. Let's not have private meetings anymore, it's not good if your girlfriend finds out, and I don't want to be known as a mistress either."

  Song Yu took out his wallet from the bag, found 200 yuan inside, and threw it on the table. "This meal is on me."

  After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.

  "Song Yu!" Jian Yi quickly got up and chased after her, grabbing her arm from behind, "I really like you, really!"

  Song Yu stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and slowly turned around.
