Chapter 40 Li He was somewhat unable to accept it.

The two of them noticed the commotion at the door and looked over at the same time.

Jiang Chengli: ...

Two indifferent gazes simultaneously fell upon him, as if he had disturbed something good for them, especially President Li.

When Bo Wei saw Jiang Chengli, she stood up slightly and smiled at him as a greeting.

Jiang Chengli then walked in.

Li He closed the file and said to Bo Wei, "Go."

Bo Wei picked up this document and put it with the others, then carried it downstairs.

Jiang Chengli glanced at the documents in Bo Wei's hand, but didn't think much of it.

Previously, all her tasks were assigned to her by him, mainly because she had only been there for a short time and was not yet familiar with the group's work environment or with President Li.

But as she became more familiar with her job, President Li would directly assign her tasks.

When Bo Wei came downstairs, they were chatting happily. When they saw her coming down, Xu Xiangying waved to her.

"That obedient person came to the company building and knelt down before you today!"

Bo Wei didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

She nodded helplessly.

"Wow, why?" Xu Xiangying was both happy and a little incredulous. "How did she change her mind?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Bo Wei satisfied everyone's gossip, since they all stood by her side when she was in trouble.

However, he didn't reveal Pan Yujia's suspicion that he had a relationship with President Li.

A group of people burst into laughter.

"Even though you didn't do it, it sounds like you did, haha. No wonder you came here to kneel down and apologize."

"Haha, you knelt for nothing, but you deserved it. She hasn't apologized to you yet."

"Exactly, it's just a beautiful misunderstanding, haha."

Everyone chatted excitedly until Assistant Jiang came downstairs, at which point they immediately shut up and focused on their work.

That day, Bo Wei was busy handling the tasks assigned to her by President Li. It wasn't until almost the end of the workday that she sent a WeChat message to Ji Mingxiu.

While you're at it, ask him if he wants to go to the supermarket together to buy some of his favorite vegetables and fruits, to increase communication and nurture your relationship.

Bo Wei: Shall we go home together after get off work?

Ji Mingxiu was overjoyed to receive her WeChat message.

Just like any other couple, his girlfriend asked him to go home together after work.

But the joy slowly faded, turning into helplessness.

Ji Mingxiu quickly typed a line on his phone: I'm sorry, I just had a meeting today. One of my projects has to be completed before the mid-year report, so I'll probably have to work overtime a lot lately.

Ji Mingxiu: I'm sorry, Weiwei, you have to go back by yourself. Be careful on the road.

Bo Wei quickly replied: Okay, what time will you be back? I'll have dinner ready and wait for you.

Ji Mingxiu: No need. I'll eat out tonight and then come back. You're tired from work too. Let's cook together on weekends from now on, and skip the weekdays.

Bo Wei: Okay.

Bo Wei smiled helplessly. Why did her plans always fall through?

She leaves first in the morning and returns first in the evening, and they don't even eat dinner together anymore. This is less time they spend together than before she started working.

Oh well, never mind.

This can't be rushed.

...

Night slowly fell.

Amidst the city's myriad lights, in a place where every inch of land is precious, a luxurious and grand villa occupies half of the estate, now decorated in an exceptionally dreamlike style.

The place was bustling with activity; at a glance, most of the people there were young men and women, chatting happily.

The hall was decorated with flowers in a dreamlike style, and the backdrop featured eye-catching words such as 'birthday'.

Li Zhiyun's elegantly tailored apricot-yellow dress made her look exceptionally clean and poised. She didn't talk much, just stood by the crowd listening quietly.

This formed a stark contrast to Li Zhixian, who was standing next to her in a flamboyant red dress and spoke sharply.

Li Zhiyun was already standing on the edge of the crowd. Now, she looked around and quietly moved away from the group, heading towards the corner of the lounge area.

When I arrived, I found that the place had already been occupied by a group of people.

Several men, all handsome and with extraordinary bearing, were sitting on the sofas on each side, chatting happily.

These people were her second brother Li He, Huo Ran, Lu Xianzong, and several other young men who often hung out together, as well as Lu Manqi, who was huddled in a corner looking at her phone.

As soon as she arrived, everyone looked at her. Upon seeing her, Huo Ran immediately smiled and patted the person next to him, saying, "Come sit here with your brother."

Li He and Lu Xianzong glanced at him simultaneously, but neither of them spoke.

Before she could speak, Lu Manqi excitedly beckoned to her, "Zhiyun, come here and sit next to me."

Li Zhiyun sat down next to her, her expression intimate. "It's your birthday, why are you hiding here all by yourself?"

Lu Manqi took her hand. "Oh dear, it's the same every year. What's the point? It's better to stay here with my brothers for some peace and quiet. Let me tell you, the novel I'm reading right now is so good. I'm completely engrossed in it and don't want to do anything else."

Li Zhiyun casually asked, "What novel is so good?"

"Transmigrating into a book, the female protagonist enters the book and slaps the villain in the face, it's so satisfying it makes me grit my teeth. Ugh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you, you don't like reading web novels anyway."

Li He, dressed in a black suit, seemed to be hidden inside the black sofa; tonight was a boring night.

He looked bored; he figured he might as well stay in the office and have a cup of coffee.

But at this moment, the boredom on his face vanished, and he looked straight at Lu Manqi.

Lu Manqi was smiling and talking to Li Zhiyun when she suddenly met the gaze of Li's second brother, and her expression changed.

Li Zhiyun followed her gaze and saw that her second brother was looking at Manqi, with an indescribable flash of inspiration in his eyes, as if he had suddenly realized some great truth.

"Second Brother He, why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, her voice trembling with unease.

The second brother of the Li family and her own brother have been best friends since childhood, and she also regards him as her own brother. Therefore, compared to outsiders, she is less wary of him, but that does not mean she is not afraid at all.

This was the first time he had ever looked at her like that, and it made her feel a little flustered.

Lu Xianzong frowned. "Don't frighten her."

Li He snapped out of his reverie and shook his head. "I just suddenly remembered something."

Lu Manqi: ……

Li Zhixian turned around and the complaining king disappeared. He then came looking for him, accompanied by several handsome men and beautiful women.

Despite its secluded location, this corner was the most eye-catching spot in the entire venue.

After all, the sons of the three major groups in City A have all gathered here.

When there are too many people, it gets noisy.

Li He's thoughts were interrupted. He stood up and said to Lu Xianzong, "I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

No matter how much Huo Ran shouted, it was no use.

He passed by Li Zhiyun, glanced at her, and then turned to Li Zhiyun and said, "You two shouldn't stay out too late. Don't forget to take her with you when you go back."

Li Zhiyun nodded. "Mm."

Li Zhixian: ...

He left without looking back, while a group of beautiful women watched his retreating figure with lingering eyes.

...

Li He sat in the car, watching the neon lights flash by outside the window.

My mind is filled with countless thoughts.

The term "transmigration into a book" may sound unfamiliar at first, but it is concise and to the point.

Erotic novels, transmigration novels.

The two words are combined...

At this moment, Li He's phone is displaying what appears to be a transmigration novel.

However, he felt that his situation was quite different.

It doesn't feel like transmigrating into a book; rather, it feels like a character from a book has traveled into the real world.

So, he...

Isn't that like a male protagonist in a pornographic novel being reborn in the real world?

Li He frowned deeply, his eyes narrowed, somewhat unable to accept it.
