Yu Wei's lips twitched. Was it really okay to say this in front of Qi Yun Shen?

"Give me Huo Xun's phone number, you don't need to do the rest."

Si Yu's face darkened: "Don't need me? Do you even know what kind of place Shenxiguan is? If you went there yourself, you'd be sold to a red-light district abroad the very next day, believe it or not?"

"I don't believe you. I'm going to try and see if I can be sold." This joke didn't seem funny, and no one listened.

Seeing that Si Yu didn't intend to call her, Kong Sang sighed and said, "I think you should listen to my advice. You don't even know what I'm doing. Getting involved would be crazy."

"You've helped enough, I'm grateful. But to do anything more would be going beyond the bounds of friendship. I hate owing favors that I can't repay, so I'll stop here."

Kong Sang bent down to take Si Yu's phone, but was pulled by the wrist and was about to fall into Si Yu's arms.

A hand grabbed Kong Sang's arm from behind, controlling her body.

Two men each grabbed one of his wrists, and Kong Sang, half-bent over, was pinned in the middle, teetering on the verge of falling...

Qi Yun Shen calmly sipped his tea, while Yu Wei blinked her almond-shaped eyes, suddenly understanding why Kong Sang liked reading those kinds of novels—they were really captivating…

The eyes beneath his slanted eyebrows, which always seemed to be smiling, turned cold at this moment, and his roguish charm instantly transformed, becoming sharp and stern, like a sword poised to be drawn.

“What’s wrong with going beyond the boundaries of friendship? I didn’t say you have to pay me back. I’ve never hidden my attitude. You know what I’m talking about,” Si Yu said, staring at Kong Sang.

"Tch, not responding is giving you face. You insist on tearing off this mask and making a fool of yourself. I can go with her to Chenxiguan. I don't need you." Lin Changli retorted without any politeness.

Si Yu sneered: "Who is really making a fool of themselves? By what right do you reject me on her behalf? A simp like you has the nerve to bite people."

“At least a simp has someone to simp for. You’re not even in the running. When I met Sangsang, she didn’t even know what you looked like.”

Forced to stand in a half-bent position, Kong Sang could no longer bear it. If she endured it any longer, her back would break. Even after helping her, she couldn't hold back her anger.

He pushed the two apart and shouted, "This is so annoying! I will never have any special relationship with anyone. If I have to, it's just a bed partner driven by lust."

"Don't waste your time on me. This young lady has to focus on her career. Men are useless except for making me weak in the knees. They're just a hindrance."

After snatching Si Yu's phone and taking a picture, Kong Sang snorted coldly, picked up his bag, and left, much like an old man who had paid for a trip but wasn't entirely satisfied...

After they left, Lin Changli wasn't angry at all. Instead, he said with a smile, "So I made Sangsang's legs go weak. Hehe, be gentler next time."

Si Yu couldn't hold back any longer and threw a punch. The two of them started fighting in the Lin family's living room. Yu Wei closed her eyes...it was spicy.

The president's office of the Nie Group.

Nie Jingxing looked at the various exquisite dishes in the bento box, a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Did you make this?"

"Well...you could say that."

"Pfft, you order takeout, pack it yourself, and that counts as doing it yourself?"

Kong Sang let out a soft "Ouch!" and sat down on Nie Jingxing's desk.

"Since you already know, then don't expose me. I heard you've been so busy you haven't had lunch, so I came to bring you something delicious. Have a bite?"

Nie Jingxing took a bite: "Speak, what do you want? If you didn't have anything to ask me for, you wouldn't even want to get close to me."

Kong Sang lowered his eyes and paused, ignoring the question and giving up the opportunity to continue the conversation. He then raised his eyes and smiled, his eyes crinkling, and said, "Big brother... could you give me a batch of gene-enhancing drugs?"

Nie Jingxing's eyes darkened, and when he looked up, it was that unfathomable man again, as if the momentary sadness was just an illusion.

"What do you need gene therapy for?"

"It's that Jinghe William again. I asked him to deal with my younger brother. Now I owe him a favor. The William family has always been at odds with the Nie family. Buying and selling gene drugs is very troublesome. He wants gene drugs to exchange for this favor."

Nie Jingxing frowned: "I know about this. Have him come to Nie's directly. Don't make this kind of deal again. Jinghe William is not that simple."

Kong Sang's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Brother, do you have a personal relationship with Jinghe William?"

"We're not exactly close friends, we keep in touch occasionally, what's wrong?"

Damn, thank goodness she stopped quickly, otherwise she would have landed a fatal blow...

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just a little curious. The William family and our family don't get along. I thought my older brother wouldn't associate with them."

"In business, there are no permanent enemies, only interests. The fact that Kyowa William, who is of mixed race, can still hold onto his position as heir shows that his methods are not simple; he is a remarkable person."

Kong Sang pretended to be uninterested and said, "I understand. Then you can handle it, brother. Tomorrow I'll have him come to the Nie family to do business with you. Don't give him any preferential treatment. I don't like him."

Nie Jingxing neither refused nor agreed, waved for her to leave, and then resumed reviewing the documents.

I only ate one bite of the whole box of food...

Kong Sang glanced at him and saw that he showed no concern whatsoever, and went out nonchalantly, only feeling relieved that he had solved a problem.

The hand that was signing the document slowed down for a moment, but quickly picked up speed again after the door closed.

When Kongsang saw Jinghe William again, he was completely different from his previous friendly attitude. He was 15 minutes late before taking a seat: "Sorry, there was a traffic jam."

Jinghe William keenly noticed Kong Sang's change, and said calmly with his dark eyes, "It's alright, as long as you're not deliberately leaving me hanging. I can wait a little while because of traffic."

"Tsk tsk, I don't know if it's because Young Master William has a good temper, or if you feel guilty, but you're so magnanimous."

The tall man put down his teacup, gazing at you intently with a look more affectionate than a dog's: "You feel guilty, what's the explanation?"

"I believe I have shown Miss Nie my sincerity. Things have escalated very quickly. My younger brother has been sent back to his country. The First Lady has a moral failing and is already in the process of getting a divorce. She will also be barred from standing on R country soil for the rest of her life."

Kong Sang stood up with a smile and unceremoniously grabbed Jinghe William's tie. Their cheeks were very close, close enough to clearly see the anger in his peach blossom eyes.

"You don't take me seriously. If you've chosen to make contact in the first place, then you've made contact and then secretly pulled some dirty tricks behind my back. I find your attitude very annoying."

"Go to the Nie family and find my elder brother. You will get what you are entitled to, but if you want to do business with them in the future, you've been passed over by me. I wish you a safe journey back to China."

Kong Sang got up to leave. Since she couldn't find a new partner, she, the young lady, had no time to waste.

An extra hand appeared around her waist, and Kong Sang was pulled back, landing heavily on Jing He's long, slender lap.

Just as she was about to lose her temper, Jinghe William restrained one of her hands and both of her arms and said with a smile, "Miss has quite a temper. Even if you want to convict me, you can't just believe one side of the story."

“I guess... you know that I have some personal ties with your older brother, but that has nothing to do with our business. I did contact your older brother to handle some trivial matters, but I didn’t have any other intentions.”

“I came to Country C because of you. I won’t contact anyone else before our deal is completed. I’m not the kind of person like my younger brother who likes to do dirty tricks in secret.”

Kong Sang didn't believe it at all and tried to struggle free his hands, saying, "Let go."
