After dumping the poor tycoon, 23
A wisp of light still seeped in through the gap in the curtains, illuminating the dimly lit bedroom. On the floor and at the foot of the bed were torn and deformed thin black stockings.
Qi An'an was awakened by the vibration of her phone.
But the sound stopped quickly, and a deep male voice came to her ear, "It's okay, sleep a little longer."
"Hmm..." Qi An'an replied, then suddenly opened her eyes with a start. Wait a minute, the project team has a meeting today!
She repeatedly reminded everyone not to be late!
She struggled out of the man's arms, her voice hoarse, "What time is it? I need to go back to the company for a meeting!"
Gu Shi put his arm around her waist and pulled her back into his embrace. "It's almost nine o'clock."
Upon hearing this, her face turned sour. "Let me up quickly, I really can't be late..."
Seeing her expression, as if she were about to cry, Gu Shi reluctantly released his arm. "Mm."
Qi An'an got out of bed, feeling chilly and completely naked. When she saw the torn stockings, her face immediately turned red.
absurd.
That's ridiculous.
Last night she asked Gu Shi to get condoms from the closet, but he ended up taking out stockings as well.
They're pushing the boundaries of what's indescribable to ever greater limits.
She was slightly stunned. The morning sun, filtering through the gap in the curtains, shone brightly on her loose hair, making her beautiful profile even more charming.
When she turned her head to the side, light entered her pupils, revealing a crystal-clear amber color that drew people in.
Gu Shi didn't try to suppress his desire. He sat up, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her slightly parted lips.
Unfortunately, Qi An'an was only focused on the meeting at the moment and had no romantic thoughts whatsoever.
"No, no, Gu Shi..."
Seeing that her eyes were red with anxiety, Gu Shi sighed and released his arms from her waist. "Don't worry, I'll take you there."
Qi An'an jumped out of bed, put on her coat, and said, "Okay, I'm going to wash up!"
At the same time, I shouted in my heart—
[Little Blackie! Little Blackie! Quickly help me recover!]
Otherwise, she would find it difficult to even take a step.
The little black dog, who had just been released, was still confused, but as soon as it made a move, Qi An'an immediately ran out of the bedroom with great speed.
Gu Shi stared at her agile running posture, his eyes pausing, and he fell into deep self-doubt.
He glanced at the disheveled bed, recalling the intense scene from the previous night. She had clearly been begging for mercy in a hoarse voice, so why was she like this today…?
Qi An'an took ten minutes to wash up and change clothes, and before she could even have breakfast, she dragged Gu Shi out the door.
After getting into the car, Qi An'an pulled down the mirror and tidied her hair.
Seeing that Gu Shi was dressed casually today, she asked, "Aren't you going to the company?"
Gu Shi said, "With Jiang Ming here, I can rest."
His voice was deep and somber. Qi An'an turned her head to look at him. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
She still remembered the words he whispered in her ear when she was in a daze.
He said, "Qi An'an, you're not allowed to run away."
Perhaps in his heart, he was vaguely worried that after she slept with him, she would run away.
But this time she really won't run away.
Gu Shi didn't respond immediately. A hint of confusion and self-doubt lingered between his brows. He glanced at her with his dark eyes for a while before saying, "No."
There are some things he just doesn't have the nerve to ask.
Qi An'an said, "It's clearly there."
Then she noticed his ears had quietly turned bright red.
However, his face remained aloof and serious, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Faced with her suspicious gaze, Gu Shi finally coughed lightly and asked with concern, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Qi An'an shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy."
Because the two of them had been fooling around all night, it seemed like they hadn't slept for very long.
Gu Shi: "..."
Looking at the traffic ahead, he instructed, "Have breakfast at the company before the meeting."
While looking at the work group chat, Qi An'an replied, "Okay."
Today is your birthday.
Gu Shi's words brought her attention back.
"Okay, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
"Okay, I'll pick you up after get off work."
"good."
Qi An'an no longer finds birthday celebrations very enjoyable and has no plans to make any special arrangements.
But currently, her parents and younger brother are taking turns messaging her, asking if she wants to have dinner together.
However, she was quite busy today. She made time to have lunch with Jiang Mei, and she would definitely be with Gu Shi in the evening.
Gu Shi watched Qi An'an enter the building before driving away.
Qi Dong thought that he wanted An An to inherit the Qi family so that he could benefit from the marriage.
But what he really wanted to do was create more ties for her.
Because he always felt that if she suddenly turned and left like she did five years ago, he would have no ability to keep her.
As Qi An'an stepped into the elevator, Xiao Hei suddenly said dejectedly, "An'an, I feel empty inside."
Qi An'an: "Huh? Who are you suddenly empathizing with?"
"Gu Shi".
"..." Qi An'an fell into deep thought.
Therefore, she didn't give Gu Shi enough sense of security.
With these thoughts in mind, she sent Gu Shi a message: "It's only been two minutes since we parted, I miss you so much~"
Gu Shi replied instantly: Okay
Qi An'an: "..."
She was about to send a voice message when Gu Shi's status changed to: "The other party is typing..."
Gu Shi: I'll pick you up at five o'clock.
Qi An'an replied with a "Okay," and the elevator doors opened.
She rarely pursued careers in mission worlds to avoid leaving too many traces, but now... she feels that this is actually quite fulfilling.
Xiao Hei: "..."
Given that the mission was already 86% complete, it chose to remain silent.
An'an is definitely the best.
——
While Qi An'an was still in a meeting, Zeng Xiaoxia sent her a video.
Qi Ning was summoned by Wen Ci as soon as he returned from the airport. In the video, he was hit on the head by something and was bleeding profusely. Wen Ci was scolding him for being useless and told him to call Qi Dong over...
The piercing sound made Qi An'an frown.
She asked Zeng Xiaoxia to keep an eye on Wen Ci's side because she didn't want to see her continue to hurt Qi Ning. But Wen Ci had gone mad and didn't treat her son like a human being at all, beating and scolding him wantonly.
Qi An'an called Qi Ning, but he didn't mention a word about what had just happened. The voice of a nurse could be faintly heard.
It was almost lunchtime when Qi Ning returned to the company building. He had a bandage on his forehead, but his expression was unreadable.
"The new office is not bad." Qi Ning looked around and said to Qi An'an with a smile.
Qi An'an walked towards him, frowning, and said, "Why didn't you stay home to rest when you were injured? What are you doing here?"
Qi Ning reached out and touched her forehead. "It's not serious, it's okay."
"Didn't I tell you to dodge when she hits you?"
“I dodged,” Qi Ning said, “but not completely.”
If Wen Ci doesn't get his way, he'll definitely make a scene. His injuries are actually quite minor.
Qi An'an still looked somewhat worried; she found it difficult to put herself in Qi Ning's shoes.
Qi Ning looked at her, "Is my sister very worried about me?"
"I'm worried, so please don't get hurt."
Qi Ning was speechless for a moment, unable to explain the sour and itchy feeling in her heart.
But he liked it very much.
So when he knew Zeng Xiaoxia was filming in the morning, he didn't dodge the cane that was being thrown at him.
He knew that the worse his situation was, the more attention his sister would pay to him.
He found it difficult to enter her bright and dazzling life, but deep down he longed for her to even slightly intrude into his decadent and dark days, and he would be satisfied with that.
Qi An'an pulled his hand back, glanced at his sleeve with disdain, and only let go after confirming there were no new injuries.
"Very good." She muttered, "Work hard. Didn't you hear what your dad said? The Qi family will still have to rely on us to support them in the future."
Upon seeing Jiang Mei's message, she looked up at Qi Ning and said, "You've come at the right time. I'm having dinner with my mother later, are you coming with me?"
Qi Ning's eyes flickered slightly: "Okay."
In Jiang Mei's eyes, he was always her "adopted son." She often told him to protect his sister, love her, and be her right-hand man in the future.
The mother and son were not close, but ever since Jiang Mei learned the truth, she has only shown him coldness.
Qi An'an glanced at his expression and said, "Actually, she doesn't dislike you. Besides, she's in a good mood because she's recently started dating someone."
Qi Ning stared in surprise for a moment, then nodded.
"Have you met her new...boyfriend, sister?"
Qi An'an nodded, "I saw him once from afar, he was quite a handsome older man."
Qi Ning: "...How handsome?"
She asked, "How handsome does a handsome person have to be?"
Qi An'an's gaze was fixed on Qi Ning's face. She reached out to cover the wound on his forehead and said, "If you hadn't been injured, and had trained harder to get a healthy tan, you might have been more handsome than him when you got older..."
After hearing this, Qi Ning's competitive spirit was triggered, and she retorted, "Is your aesthetic sense outdated? There aren't many people in Rongcheng who look the same as me."
Qi An'an smiled like a little fox, "Gu Shi is much prettier than you."
Qi Ning: "..."
He was frustrated, but he had nothing to say.
If there's a ranking of handsome men in Rongcheng, Gu Shi is definitely a top contender. He heard this from a chatty girl.
The siblings walked out of the office one after the other.
Because there was no commotion, the colleagues gossiping outside didn't stop in time.
A male colleague wearing black-rimmed glasses blurted out, "Little Qi is injured, isn't he here to cause trouble for our manager? I'm really afraid a fight will break out!"
The male colleague received no response from anyone, and everyone who had just been gathered together scattered like birds in an instant.
His heart skipped a beat, and he stiffly turned his head, whereupon he saw the two beautiful siblings.
In terms of appearance, the two don't look very similar, but the exquisiteness of their features is comparable to that of celebrities on camera.
"Manager Qi, Young Master Qi..."
Qi An'an said leisurely, "Don't worry, there won't be a fight."
The male colleague bowed at a 90-degree angle: "...I'm sorry!"
Qi An'an waved her hand and asked, "Do I look like Qi Ning and I have a strong sense of mortal enemies?"
Why does everyone think that she and Qi Ning have reached a point of irreconcilable conflict?
"No!" The male colleague shook his head frantically. "I'm sorry, I was just being nosy."
After all, Xiao Qi is an illegitimate child. Now that Qi An'an is being given important responsibilities, her status has obviously risen, so it's no wonder that people think there will be conflicts between the siblings.
These people were all under Qi An'an's management. Qi Ning didn't say anything, but walked to the elevator in front of her with a relaxed demeanor.
Out of curiosity, Qi An'an asked again, "Could you secretly tell me if everyone has made a bet between me and Qi Ning to see who will be the final winner?"
The male colleague's face turned red and then pale, and he nodded tremblingly.
Qi An'an: "So, who do you bet on the most to win?"
Her male colleague looked at her and said, "It's Manager Qi."
Qi An'an smiled and said, "Thank you everyone for your trust."
Male colleague: "..."
What kind of trust is this?!
Qi Ning whispered to them, "Sister, the elevator is here."
"Okay." Qi An'an nodded and walked over quickly.
As the siblings entered the elevator, the male colleague slowly wiped away his sweat.
A small group of people walked back to his side and looked towards the elevator.
"Old Liu, you're lucky to be alive. Manager Qi and General Manager Qi are both good-tempered."
"Yes, Manager Qi really isn't angry at all."
"Because everyone bet on her to win? Her satisfied little expression was so cute, hahaha!"
"Xiao Qi is not bad either, she seems like the kind of person who is all bark and no bite."
"But Little Qi just called me 'sister'..."
"Oh my god, I thought I was hallucinating. I usually think Xiao Qi's voice is very magnetic, but today it's actually a bit too cute, hahaha!"
What was supposed to be a serious matter turned into something like watching an idol drama amidst the girls' excited discussion.
Inside the elevator, Qi Ning reminded her, "Sister, he just lied to you. Ever since I came back, people have been betting on me to win all over the place."
Qi An'an: "..."
She turned to look at him. "How do you know so much?"
“I’ve anonymously joined several employees.” Qi Ning took out her phone. “Sister, I’ll add you in.”
Qi An'an: "...It seems unnecessary."
Qi Ning quickly operated on her phone, "You just need to tap it."
Qi An'an looked down at the link she had sent and clicked on it.
Then I heard my younger brother, speaking from experience, say, "Just set your messages to Do Not Disturb."
Please do as instructed.
Why do I suddenly feel a little excited?
——
As Qi Ning drove, he kept glancing at the person in the passenger seat frantically scrolling through messages, occasionally revealing some earth-shattering news to him.
—It turns out that Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li from that department are a married couple, but they often don't act like they know each other well.
— Xiao Liu from a certain department didn't have a girlfriend at all. The photos he posted were saved from his WeChat Moments. He resigned after being exposed.
— Xiao Chen from a certain department has an eight-year-old son who is raised under his sister's name. He is currently dating someone from the same department.
"Ah Ning, do you know that Luna is being pursued by the heads of two major departments? Luna is too amazing..." Qi An'an muttered to herself, nodding repeatedly in affirmation.
Qi Ning's lips, which had been turned up in a smile, twitched slightly at this moment. "Yes, I know some of it, but she doesn't like any of it."
She was reluctant to join the group just now, but now she's already chatting about all sorts of random things... She's adapted very quickly.
Qi An'an gave him a look that said, "I didn't expect you to be so gossipy," and asked, "So, who does she like?"
Qi Ning laughed out loud, the bittersweet feeling in his heart swelling and growing stronger, like something he had always longed for had suddenly been grasped in his hands.
"If you're curious, you can go ask them."
"..."
The little black ball, lazily lying on Qi An'an's lap, hummed twice and said, "Happy."
Qi An'an glanced at it, then looked at Qi Ning.
Qi Ning's intentions were always very clear: he showed her his scars in order to get closer to her and gain her sympathy and pity.
At first, she thought he had ulterior motives, but after spending time with him a few times, she realized that he didn't even care about his own life.
His mentality is more like that of a very old person.
