Inside the Pearl Hotel.

Wu Yanping leaned against the window, lost in thought.

After watching Wang Qian and Liu Yanran leave yesterday, her heart felt empty, as if something incredibly precious had slipped away from her.

Just like when she lost Wang Qian, that feeling made her absent-minded in everything she did.

Every moment she was awake, she would lean against the window, staring blankly at the third floor of the Love Hotel across the street.

Even when she was asleep, her dreams were filled with nightmares about breaking ties with Wang Qian.

She desperately hoped that Wang Qian would suddenly appear on the third floor across the street, just like last time, holding a guitar and singing the song he had once written for her.

Or, Wang Qian might suddenly come to her and explain that he had some unspeakable difficulties or hardships in leaving with Liu Yanran yesterday.

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly, a knock on the door pulled her back to reality from her reverie.

"who?"

Wu Yanping asked a question subconsciously.

"Miss Wu, someone is looking for you!"

The voice of the receptionist could be heard from outside the door.

Who is it?

He said his name was Wang Qian!

"Wang Qian?"

Wu Yanping was struck dumb, her expression changing drastically.

Perhaps due to excessive excitement, her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"Would you like to see me?"

The voice of the receptionist could still be heard from outside the door.

Wu Yanping didn't answer immediately, but she was pacing anxiously.

At that moment, she was in a state of utter confusion, filled with fear and helplessness.

After a long and agonizing day, Wang Qian finally arrived.

only,

She wasn't mentally prepared!

"If Miss Wu doesn't want to see me, I'll have Wang Qian leave right now!"

After she finished speaking, the footsteps of the receptionist gradually faded away.

"etc!"

Wu Yanping panicked and, without thinking twice, immediately shouted to the outside, "Let him in."

She has been suffering all this time, just waiting for Wang Qian to arrive.

Now that she's finally here, how could she possibly turn Wang Qian away?

"Okay, I'll bring Wang Qian over right away!"

The waiter responded and turned to leave.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door.

Despite having prepared herself mentally, Wu Yanping was still very anxious and didn't know what to do.

But when the second knock came, she had to force herself to suppress her chaotic emotions and call out, "Come in!"

Squeak!

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a familiar young man walked in.

He was dressed in a casual outfit, looking handsome and dashing with an extraordinary air.

"Wang Qian, what brings you here?"

Wu Yanping sat on the sofa and asked, feigning calmness.

She was holding a cup of coffee, but her hands were trembling slightly uncontrollably.

"Do you think I've already given in to Liu Yanran and sided with her?"

As he walked forward, Wang Qian asked a pointed question.

"Otherwise what?"

Wu Yanping snorted coldly, her pretty face filled with resentment.

But beneath her apparent disappointment, a fervent anticipation was clearly hidden deep within her eyes.

The reason she was so eager to see Wang Qian was that she hoped he could give her a reasonable explanation.

Even if,

He was just lying to her!

"Then do you really think I would bow down to Liu Yanran?" Wang Qian asked rhetorically.

Wu Yanping frowned slightly.

After staring at Wang Qian for a moment, her complicated emotions miraculously calmed down.

"So what is your purpose?"

She said thoughtfully, "You're showing goodwill to Liu Yanran, is there some plan behind it?"

"Actually, you're quite smart, but there's a saying that goes, 'Kindness is often taken advantage of.' Your nature is too kind, which is why Liu Yanran has been using you all along," Wang Qian said with a sigh.

A hint of resentment flashed in Wu Yanping's eyes.

But reflecting on the past, she sighed helplessly and said self-deprecatingly, "I really thought everyone was too kind."

Then she pressed on, "You still haven't told me your reason for doing this."

"I want to cooperate with the Liu family!"

Wang Qian didn't intend to hide anything from Wu Yanping, and said directly, "Only by cooperating with the Liu family can I quickly gain a foothold. Otherwise, one mistake will lead to my utter ruin!"

He spoke these words with utmost seriousness and earnestness.

"Is there no other way but to cooperate with the Liu family?"

Wu Yanping was still reluctant. "If you need it, I can talk to my dad and ask him to..."

"Need not!"

Wang Qian waved his hand, "I appreciate your kindness, but in this life, I want to rely on my own strength to turn things around and personally destroy the Liu family's foundation."

In fact, as early as when he cleared up the misunderstanding with Wu Yanping, he had already considered that by borrowing the Wu family's wealth, he could shake the foundation of the entire Liu family.

only,

That is ultimately an external force.

In his previous life, he had had enough of living under someone else's roof.

Even if Wu Yanping is not as mean and vicious as Liu Yanran, the Wu family is still a large business family and would not allow an outsider to interfere in the core business.

Rather than being restricted in every way, it's better to work hard on your own.

Even if we lose in the end, it won't implicate anyone, and we won't need to depend on anyone's opinion.

What did you just say?

Wu Yanping looked on with suspicion, "What do you mean, this life?"

Wang Qian's expression froze.

In a flash of thought, he hurriedly mumbled, "What I mean is, I want to fight the Liu family on my own."

"You really don't want to have anything to do with me?" Wu Yanping asked with a hint of resentment.

“It’s not what you think,” Wang Qian explained, both amused and exasperated. “I’m not complaining; on the contrary, I’m very grateful for everything you’ve done for me. It’s just that I have my own ideas and principles.”
