Song Yu, why is your face so red?

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

  Looking at Jian Yi's painful expression, she forced a smile and said, "So what do you really want? On one hand, you can't bear to part with Qi Cheng Yue, but on the other hand, you also want to be with me? She is in the light, I am in the dark, just like your original plan?"

  Jian Yi didn't say anything, as if he had acquiesced to Ta's words.

  Snap!

  Song Yu gave him a slap in the face, "Jian Yi, you're shameless! You dare to have such thoughts in front of me? I won't stop you from liking me, but I will never like you again. From now on, stay away from me. If you really like me that much and can't control your own heart, then just quietly like me, don't let me know!"

  Shaking off the hand grasping her other arm, Song Yu hastily exited the restaurant.

  She didn't go back to the company and just walked on the road, the words that Jian Yi had just said made her even more uncomfortable.

  She remembered that when she was a child, the only time she fell into the water, Jian Yi was the first to find her and pulled her up.

  When she woke up from her coma, Jian Yi had been guarding her bedside, his face pale and his eyes full of bloodshot lines.

  Guan Xiaolin said that Jian Yi stayed by her bedside all night without eating or drinking.

  He pulled her out of the water and looked at her pale face. Jian Yi was so anxious that he almost cried.

  That was also the first time, Jian Yi lost his composure in front of her, and at the moment she woke up, he held her tightly in his arms, muttering: "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death, fortunately you're awake now, don't allow yourself to be in such danger again!"

  She felt his lips land on her hair, and her ear, pressed against his chest, also heard the rapid beating of his heart.

  At that time his chest was still slightly thin, and the clothes had a faint scent of grass and dampness, but the lips stuck to her hair were extremely hot.

  Then Jian Yi had a high fever.

  Because he rescued her, accompanied her in the hospital, and never left her side from start to finish. He didn't sleep for a minute, and even his wet clothes that had just been soaked in water were not changed, but he still guarded her like that.

  When she was unconscious, his body had been uncomfortable, but he still insisted on holding on until she woke up. Only then did he put down his heart and fell ill at ease.

  Even with a fever, he kept muttering her name, Song Song, Song Song...

  One by one.

  It was because of that time that she was so sure, even though he had never confessed to her, but he liked her.

  It has come to this point, if it's not because of liking, then what is it?

  But now, Song Yu shook her head in confusion, she had no idea at all.

  Perhaps she never knew what Jian Yi truly thought in his heart.

  The rumbling noise from her stomach brought her thoughts back.

  Song Yu rubbed his hungry belly and looked around, then casually walked into a small eatery and ordered a plate of stir-fried noodles.

  ……

  ……

  When it was almost time to get off work, Song Yu received a call from Yu Qianying, asking her to go home for dinner.

  Song Yu returned home and had just opened the door with her key when she heard the lively chatter inside.

  Yu Qianying's soft "relax" made Song Yu freeze in place.

  Before anyone noticed, she quietly closed the door and turned away.

  On her way, she called Yu Qianying: "Mom, I'm working overtime tonight and won't be back."

  "What's going on? When I called you earlier, didn't you say you weren't working overtime?" Yu Qianying asked, "I've already cooked dinner and was waiting for you!"

  "Also received a temporary notice." Song Yu sat in the car, rubbed his eyes wearily and felt a headache.

  "Song Yu, I called you back because there's something I need to ask you." Yu Qianying's tone turned serious.

  Song Yu felt an even more severe headache, with a throbbing pain in his temples.

  She closed her eyes and said weakly: "Mom, if there's something on your mind, you'd better ask now. It's not good to keep it bottled up inside."

  "Good grief!" Yu Qianying was blocked by her for a moment, somewhat annoyed, took a deep breath and said, "I heard that you've been getting quite close to Qi Chengzhi lately?"

  "Mom, who told you?" Song Yu opened her eyes and thought of the conversation she had just overheard at the door, "Did Jian Yi tell you?"

  "This... " Yu Qianying hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't have to care who I heard it from, the point is whether it's true or not?"

  Song Yu looked out of the window and saw that they had arrived at their destination, so he quickly stood up and got off the bus.

  "Mom, our company is now doing business with the Qi family, and it's inevitable that I'll run into Qi Cheng because of work. That's all there is to it, don't overthink it. In my line of work, do you expect me to never see anyone from the Qi family again? That's not possible."

  "I know, just... " Yu Qianying stopped talking again. "Forget it, as long as you two really don't have anything to do with each other, that's good enough. Let's not mention the fact that you and Qi Chengji cancelled your engagement, and then got together with his brother. If word gets out, it won't sound good. And from what happened back then in our family, the Qi family's attitude... you'd better not get too close to them either, they're all just a bunch of opportunists."

  "I know, mom, it's really just work-related. He's now one of our company's major clients, if I slack off, you can expect me to get fired."

  "Alas!" Yu Qianying just sighed on the phone, Song Yu knew that she was still worried.

  Song Yu went upstairs, took out the key to open the door of his home, walked in and sat down on the sofa, exhausted, before saying: "Mom, you said I had a relationship with Qi Chengzhi, was it Jian Yi who told you? Tonight, did you also invite him to come home for dinner?"

  "This..."

  "Mom, if you call Jian Yi back home for dinner in the future, don't bother calling me back." Song Yu said coldly, there were some things she didn't need to cover up for Jian Yi.

  "What's wrong with you, kid? Did you have a fight with Jian Yi? You don't have to be like this even if you're fighting! Your temper is something only Jian Yi can put up with!" Yu Qianying muttered.

  "Mom, do you still want me to be with Jian Yi?" Song Yu asked with a bitter smile.

  "How come you still look down on others?" Yu Qianying asked hastily.

  "If he already has a girlfriend, do you want me to be with him? For four years in college, he was in love with Guan Xiaolin, and his tuition and living expenses were all paid by Guan Xiaolin. Now, he is dating Qi Chengyue, and they have been together for two years. He has been hiding it from us, of course, maybe the other party also thinks there's no need to tell us. But since he is with Qi Chengyue, why did he come to me and say he likes me?"

  "He didn't want to part with Qi Chengyue, which means he wanted me to be his mistress. A person like that, do you really want me to be with him? You know how humiliated I was when Qi Chengyue found me and scolded me for being a home wrecker? His words, including what he said about me and Qi Chengzhi, can you still believe them? I don't know what his intention is in telling you those things again, but as for him, I no longer dare to trust him."

  "Mom, you're a smart person, think about this matter carefully yourself." Song Yu said and hung up the phone.

  Yu Qianying stood on the balcony, staring blankly at her phone. She turned around and looked through the window between the balcony and the living room, watching Jian Yi play chess with Song Donglin.

  He let out a sigh and after entering the house, his attitude towards Jian Yi became more polite but also more distant, no longer as enthusiastic as before.

  As for Qi Chengzhi, due to Song Yu's words, Yu Qianying also put down her guard.

  ……

  ……

  The groundbreaking ceremony of Qilinyu Seven-Star Resort was held at the project site, attended by both Qilinyu and Chengshi parties.

  Zi Lin invited a large number of reporters and also invited Shu Lu, a female star who became popular due to a youth movie and was directly crowned as a goddess.

  Chi Lin unveiled the renderings of the resort hotel, which was grand and majestic, leaving all the journalists present in awe.

  Following the trend, it also introduced Song Yu, who was the hotel designer for this vacation.

  No one expected that this time's resort hotel, Qilin would find a domestic architect, and it was such a young one, and also a newcomer.

  It must be said that Qilun itself is bold and has enough confidence to promote domestic new architects, which is what ordinary companies dare not do. The gimmick rushed up at once.

  Add Song Yu, the hotel designed is bold yet mature, not to mention that she herself is a beauty, and also very topical, immediately attracting the attention of reporters, who asked questions in succession.

  But all of this changed after Shu Lien appeared.

  The reporters' target shifted again to Shu Lü.

  Shu Yu appeared with Qi Cheng together, and when they appeared, they really attracted attention.

  Lang Cai Nu Miao, Qi Cheng Zhi's heroic and elegant demeanor goes without saying. Shu Lü is also deeply ingrained in people's hearts with the image of a youthful jade girl, with fair skin and beautiful looks, and when she smiles, there are two small dimples, standing beside Qi Cheng Zhi, her cheeks flush slightly, unable to bear the shyness.

  Song Yu looked at the two people who were getting along well, especially Shu Yue's shy smile on her face, and felt a little hot in the cold winter.

  "Miss Shu, there are magazines that took pictures of you having dinner with Cheng Xiao last night. Are the two of you in a relationship? Is it because of Cheng Xiao's relationship that you came to the platform?" asked a reporter.

  Her face turned redder, smiling and revealing a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth, she said shyly: "I and Cheng Shao are just friends, Cheng Shao is steady and considerate, knowing that I rarely come to B city, and hearing that I had just gotten off the plane without eating, so he was just being hospitable. Moreover, last night, there were also other colleagues of Qi Lin, as well as my assistant, it wasn't just me and Cheng Shao having dinner together."

  Although it was said so, the reporter still sensitively caught Shu Lü's "still" word.

  "They are still just friends, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of further development. Is that what Miss Shu meant? The two of you standing together look particularly compatible. Does Miss Shu also have a good impression of Cheng Shao?" the reporter asked immediately.

  Shu Yu's face turned red with shyness, and she secretly glanced at Qi Chengzhi, her bashful expression hesitant to speak.

  The tall figure beside her made her have to exert herself to lift her head to see his face.

  He stood beside her, as if blocking out a lot of cold wind for her. The part of his body close to his arm was also warm.

  Also thinking of Qi Chengzhi's identity background, he himself is as handsome as a star, and also has the aura of a superior that those stars who rely on their face to eat do not have.

  Every move is so calm and wise.

  Shu Yue's heart was also naturally inclined towards Qi Cheng.

  Who would refuse to be his girlfriend? They'd probably rush to jump into his arms.

  These female stars actually want to climb up a high branch, and Qi Chengzhi is the top one.

  If she really became his girlfriend, I don't know how many people would envy her.

  Zi Chengzhi has never been in a scandal before, and he's never seen getting close to any woman. Once you become his woman, it means he's serious about it.

  This point, Shu Lian saw very clearly.

  Shu Yu didn't say a word, with an air of tacit consent, which excited the journalists and made it another good material.

  Ke Qi's lips curled slightly as he suddenly spoke into the microphone, saying: "Miss Shu is not the type I like."

  The whole room was in an uproar, and all the reporters were shocked. They did not expect Qi Chengzhi to be so ruthless and refuse right in front of everyone's face.

  Didn't you see Shu Lian's shy and charming expression just now?

  The flowers have fallen with intention, but unfortunately, the flowing water is heartless.

  Shu Yue's face suddenly turned white, the tender smile on her face froze, and she stood awkwardly in place, trying to maintain a smile but couldn't, her mouth twitching.

  It just so happened that the object was Qi Chengzhi. No matter how humiliated she was, she didn't dare to make a sound.

  "As Miss Shu just said, all the high-level executives of Qi Lin were present yesterday, just to show our sincerity in inviting Miss Shu to be our spokesperson. We only have a working relationship." Qi Chengzhi said calmly.

  "What type does Chen Xiao like?" The reporter asked again immediately.

  I don't know if it's an illusion or not, but Song Yu felt that Qi Chengzhi's gaze seemed to have glanced over at her before saying, "Guess."

  "...". The reporter almost blurted out, guess if I guessed or not.

  ……

  ……

  The groundbreaking ceremony was over, and in the evening there was a dinner party at the "Dynasty".

  The car set out from the project site back to the city, Qi Cheng got into his Range Rover, driven by Chang Ye.

  If it weren't for what was said earlier, Shu Lian would have taken the initiative to say that she and Qi Chengzhi were in the same car.

  But just now she was humiliated, even if she rushed up again, she had to calm down first, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed at the idle reporter who asked such questions, with an unpleasant expression, she got into the car arranged by Qi Lin for her.

  The signing ceremony was attended by representatives from both companies, while the dinner party invited many industry insiders.

  Cheng Shi's employees basically all participated, even Guan Xiaolin was also on the invitation list.

  Song Yu and Ruan Danchen were sitting in a car sent by Chengshi, Song Yu's mobile phone "buzzed" once.

  "Take it out and have a look, it's Qi Chengzhi's text message: 'How was my answer just now?'"

  Song Yu was a little happy in her heart, but she absolutely wouldn't admit it, and pretended as if nothing had happened, responding with a sentence: "As long as Shao thinks it's no big deal, then it's no big deal."

  Zi Cheng saw her message and snorted with laughter, writing: "Aren't you curious what type I like?"

  Song Yu saw the information that was transmitted back and thought for a moment before writing: "As for Cheng Shao's thoughts, I'd rather not guess."

  "She's too old, I like younger ones." Qi Chengzhi replied.

  Song Yu looked at Qi Chengzhi's message and thought that if Shu Xue saw it, she didn't know what kind of mood she would be in.

  Shu Qi rose to fame relatively late, according to her Wikipedia page, she is 27 years old this year, actually speaking, it's not old.

  Zi Chengzhi is already a 34-year-old old man, yet he still wants to nibble on tender grass?

  As for this message, Song Yu was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

  Thumb rubbed against the screen, opened the keyboard, and then closed it again, staring at the screen in a daze.

  But there's no need for her to respond because Ziqi immediately followed up with another message: "I just like people who are 9 years younger than me."

  Song Yu's heart skipped a beat, not that she wanted to be self-indulgent, but Qi Chengzhi's words made her think crookedly.

  A surge of heat rushed up her face, Song Yu's face turned red as she put down her phone.

  Beside him, Ruan Dan Chen asked strangely: "Song Yu, why is your face so red?"
