Chapter 708 The Ring's Owner
Meanwhile, at the Li Mansion.
Su Youling was busy until late at night before going to sleep. Early the next morning, she rushed to City B to attend the press conference held by Yitao Culture and also visited the company to confirm the details of the next client contact.
After half a day, I was completely exhausted.
When she got back to City A, she had already slept several times and looked dazed: "Qin He, have we arrived yet?"
"We've arrived, Madam. Mr. Li has been waiting for you for a long time." Qin He got out of the car and opened the door for Su Youling. "Would you like to rest a bit more?"
"You must have had a long sleep." Su Youling got out of the car and turned to look at him. "You don't need to call me 'Madam' anymore. You're no longer Li Tingxi's assistant, but the vice president of Li's Group. It's not appropriate to call me that anymore."
"President Su, I am now your temporary assistant." Qin He said without changing his expression, "Li's Group has already taken three months of leave, making up for all the leave they hadn't taken before."
Su Youling hadn't expected that when Li Tingxi said he had assigned her a capable assistant, he was actually referring to a general like Qin He.
It would be a waste of her talent to place her in her studio.
However, Qin He is indeed capable. Although he has been busy with personal matters lately, he has not slacked off at work. But one person is always willing but unable to do enough.
Wenxi's work is temporarily unavailable, and she is juggling multiple roles and wedding preparations, which is exhausting.
Unexpectedly, Qin He was very familiar with Wen Xi's business. He used to be Li Tingxi's assistant and was an all-rounder, involved in a little bit of everything.
Wen Xi's main responsibilities in the team are design and market development. Marketing is Qin He's forte, but she didn't expect that he could also offer some effective advice on professional matters like art and design.
"Qin He, it's a waste of your talents to be my assistant. You're not using your vacation to enrich your personal life. Isn't that a waste?" Su Youling asked as they walked.
"President Su, I'm working for Wen Xi," Qin He said without changing his expression. "She needs to deal with her past, face the conflicts of the past alone, and give each other some space. I respect her wishes, but I don't want her to let those scumbags affect her work and life. I'm willing to take on the burdens she can't handle."
Su Youling's impression of Qin He was that he was not very good at relationships. If it weren't for Qin Yaoruo's matchmaking, he would have had a hard time winning over Wen Xi.
This person's emotional obtuseness is even greater than Li Tingxi's back then, but unexpectedly, this blockhead could say something so reasonable today.
"Didn't you ever think about rushing to find her? Aren't you worried about her?" Su Youling stopped and asked him, "Aren't you afraid she'll never come back?"
Qin He was silent for a moment, then nodded honestly: "I am indeed worried about her, not that I'm worried she'll run away and never come back, but that I'm worried she'll be hurt by scum again. I want to protect her..."
"But?" Su Youling raised an eyebrow.
“However, Wen Xi is no longer the little girl who could only be manipulated by others. I should trust her and respect her privacy and past.” Qin He pursed his lips, his eyes inevitably showing worry. However, Li Tingxi’s advice was like a wake-up call, completely dispelling his impulse to go looking for her.
"You've made progress, you're better than Li Tingxi."

"Much better." Su Youling smiled, patted Qin He's shoulder, and whispered, "Don't worry, I contact Wen Xi every day. She's making good progress lately; she's really messed up Luo Yi."
Qin He's expression softened slightly, and he said solemnly, "Thank you."
"Work hard. The studio is currently collaborating with Yitao Culture and preparing for the competition... We are indeed short-staffed, so I won't be polite and refuse any longer. I will give Wenxi the bonuses when she comes back." After Su Youling finished speaking, she let Qin He leave first. "Go and rest. We may be frequently traveling to and from B City these days, and we may even have to go on business trips. Be prepared."
Qin He nodded, glanced up at the longing figure upstairs, and wisely turned and left.
Su Youling followed his gaze and saw Li Tingxi dressed in an unusually flamboyant manner, leaning against the railing and swirling a wine glass.
On such a cold day, the heating on the balcony wasn't very strong, but he didn't seem to mind the cold.
Su Youling could feel his resentment even from a great distance. She shook her head and was about to head straight to the second floor when she caught a glimpse of a bright beige figure sitting on the sofa, studying something amidst a pile of broken gems, diamonds, and scrap metal.
Are there guests?
Su Youling paused, turned around, and walked towards the sofa: "Hello?"
"Hello!" Mi Cheng was startled. She looked up and saw Su Youling's polite and courteous smile. Her expression became a little reserved. "I am Mi Cheng, Yangyang's physical therapist. Professor Richard is my teacher. He recommended me here."
"Dr. Mi!" Su Youling exclaimed with delight. "It's so good that you've come. Yangyang's recovery has been very slow since winter started. His legs haven't fully recovered and he still can't walk for long periods of time. We're really worried about him."
Her eyes were full of a mother's worry and love, completely different from the decisive and strong woman in the rumors. This made Mi Cheng, who was also a mother, feel a little more relaxed: "I have just examined Yangyang. His physical foundation is weaker than that of ordinary children. It is normal for him to encounter a bottleneck in his recovery. I will adjust the treatment plan according to his physical condition. Mrs. Li, there is no need to worry."
Su Youling breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you very much. I'm so sorry, my family has been so negligent. How could we leave Dr. Mi alone in the living room?"
“It’s okay, it’s more comfortable to be alone. Yangyang just finished acupuncture and took medicine. President Li went upstairs to put the kids to sleep.” Mi Cheng glanced cautiously upstairs and whispered, “To be honest, President Li’s aura is really too strong. If it weren’t for the fact that you have three lovely children at home, I really wouldn’t dare to stay for even a second longer.”
Seeing her adorable and innocent appearance, Su Youling couldn't help but chuckle and whispered, "It's normal. When we first met, I was also afraid of him."
Mi Cheng looked at him with admiration: "To be able to win over someone like President Li and make him so devoted to you... Mrs. Li is truly an honor for us."
This girl is hilarious!
It's not the kind of deliberate humor, but a natural and unpretentious humor that makes people feel close to you very easily.
"Please sit down, Dr. Mi." Su Youling gestured for her to sit down and was about to make tea herself when Mi Cheng's expression changed immediately upon seeing the diamond ring on her finger.
“This ring…” She couldn’t help but grab Su Youling’s finger, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief as she looked at the ring.
