In the upper-class circles of the capital, Qi Ze was famously difficult to provoke.
Jiang Rao, however, deliberately provoked him.
When asked why?
She replied: Hook him, dangle hi...
Chapter 49: When the Bed is Aroused
"Director Qi, are you looking for me?" Jiang Rao closed the door with a smile on her face.
"Oh, you actually mentioned 'you'," Qi Chen said jokingly, "My pleasure."
Jiang Rao was good at observing his expressions. Seeing that he was in a good mood, she flattered him, "You are my breadwinner, so you deserve to be called 'you'."
"I don't deserve it." Qi Chen smiled wryly, then looked at Jiang Rao. Her makeup was too bright, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her lips. He asked her, "Are you in a good mood?"
"Yeah." Jiang Rao answered absentmindedly, "I just teased a dog. It's very cute."
Qi Chen hadn't come to her to chat about family matters, so he didn't follow up on Jiang Rao's question. He exchanged a few pleasantries first, then got down to business.
"I heard my brother dumped you?"
Jiang Rao's smile froze at the corner of his lips, and he remained calm, "Who told you that? How come I don't know?"
"The person involved." Qi Chen was too lazy to argue with her and went straight to the point.
"Then why did you call me here?" Jiang Rao stopped pretending.
Qi Chen looked at her. The woman in front of him was very strange. She was sharp-tongued and could take risks, but she could also lose face.
He is quite cunning, but his emotions are sometimes very obvious.
For example, now, one can tell at a glance that she is unhappy.
Still too young...Qi Chen made his judgment.
"Let me make it clear in advance that I will not join forces with you." Jiang Rao reiterated.
Qi Chen waved his hand, "You don't have to treat it as a big enemy. Besides, I won't have any bad intentions after being rejected by you again and again."
"So you came to me just to tell me that Qi Ze dumped me?"
"Not really, I just want to ask Miss Jiang to give me a chance to pursue you." Qi Chen said the words that were almost a confession easily.
Jiang Rao choked.
"Where is Su Qing'er beside you?"
"Dealt with it." Dealing with a person was as casual as the tone used to say it.
Jiang Rao was shocked and felt a little scared. She realized later that she was dealing with the two brothers and was walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff.
"You..." She took a step back, with obvious wariness in her eyes.
Qi Chen knew that Jiang Rao had misunderstood, and he did it on purpose. It was okay for a woman to challenge a man occasionally, but if she challenged him for too long, a man would get tired of it. If he didn't scare Jiang Rao, she would never learn her lesson.
"What about me? I didn't kill anyone. I just made her lose her job." Qi Chen sat back in his office chair, playing with the pen on the table.
Jiang Rao was really scared. It was true that she wanted money, but she never thought of risking her life.
But now that things have come to this, I have to go ahead with it.
"Zhang Wanqing has returned to China, you must know that, right?" Jiang Rao asked for some unknown reason.
Didn’t they say that the two brothers fought tooth and nail over this woman?
Now looking at Qi Chen like this, she doesn't think he is like her.
Qi Chen smiled, a very beastly smile, "Wanqing is already a thing of the past for me. Miss Jiang is the one in front of me."
Jiang Rao was really amazed by the blatant shamelessness.
What Qi Chen said next was like a sharp knife stabbing into Jiang Rao's heart. "Besides, I'm not like my good-for-nothing brother. He's soft-hearted and always trapped by love. Look, Wanqing just returned home in two days, and he's already hurriedly dumped the person in front of him. He's not trying to show off, so why would he do this? It shows that he's deeply in love and can't extricate himself."
Jiang Rao:.......Every word is as sharp as a knife.
It’s not that I can’t love Qi Ze, but when a man dumps another woman for another woman, the other woman will always be hurt no matter what her reasoning is.
These two brothers, one said that he envied the other in front of her, and the other belittled the other in her ear. Jiang Rao felt that the children of powerful families were too complicated and she couldn't understand them.
Jiang Rao remained silent.
Qi Chen approached calmly, "So, Miss Jiang, how about considering me?"
Jiang Rao looked up at Qi Chen. He was undoubtedly handsome, with outstanding looks and family background. He was powerful and rich. No matter how Jiang Rao looked at it, she would not be at a disadvantage by dating Qi Chen.
After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Rao asked the question in her heart, "If I date you, will Qi Ze let me go?"
"What do you think, Miss Jiang?" Qi Chen didn't fool her. "Since he told me that you were dumped by him, then in his eyes, Miss Jiang is an insignificant person, right?"
Qi Chen never gives a definite answer and is always so ambiguous, so Jiang Rao doesn't dare to take any gamble.
Jiang Rao half-leaned on the desk in front of Qi Chen and looked into Qi Chen's eyes.
If you look closely, the two brothers look alike but also different.
Qi Ze has peach blossom eyes, and Qi Chen also has peach blossom eyes, but the curve at the end of Qi Chen's eyes is slightly more curved. When he looks at people with a smile, he always makes people feel very calculating.
Qi Chen didn't promise to help her bear Qi Ze's anger, nor did he promise to give her money, so what did she want?
Figure he writes a bad check and looks good?
Jiang Rao is snobbish and she would not be interested in such people.
Jiang Rao's hair floated in front of Qi Chen's eyes. Qi Chen picked up a strand and put it to his nose to sniff it.
He pressed, "Can you give me a definite answer?"
Jiang Rao smiled. She pulled her hair back from Qi Chen's hand, stood up, and asked with a smile, "What do you think, Mr. Qi?"
She didn't give a definite answer, and the two of them went around in circles. Jiang Rao was about to walk out the door when she heard Qi Chen's voice from behind her.
He called her: "Miss Jiang."
"Hmm?" Jiang Rao turned her head in a charming manner, and the angle was carefully designed.
"You left something behind."
Qi Chen appeared behind her without anyone noticing and handed her a tube-shaped object.
Jiang Rao looked down and saw the lipstick color MAL504.
She reached out to take it and handed it to him.
"This is for you." Jiang Rao smiled charmingly, "It's brightly colored and suits you very well."
"When will you match me?" Qi Chen glanced at her palm but didn't take it.
Jiang Rao's palms are dry and her knuckles are long and slender.
Jiang Rao whispered, her voice piercing his ear, "When we're in love."
She stuffed the lipstick into his shirt pocket and left.
Qi Chen felt the remaining body temperature of Jiang Rao and decided to take back what he had just said about her being too young.
It turns out... the young cat is also fierce. Qi Chen touched the collar of his shirt and saw a bulge. He could feel the heart beating violently near the shirt pocket. The wild cat's sharp claws had grabbed his heart.
