Chapter 9 Is it interesting?
He heard it... Chi Yuan did not look away, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
It's just being caught talking bad about someone behind their back. It's not a big deal.
He glanced at Ye Ranran out of the corner of his eye.
She stood out of Qi Wang's sight, and did not hide the pride in her eyes from herself.
With a mocking arc on his lips, Chi Yuan took a long breath and said bluntly: "Yeah, you are blind, but President Qi would care about my opinion?"
If it weren't for that night, would the person Qi Wang was going to marry be Ye Ranran?
Yes and no, this girl is the one she holds dear to her heart.
During the four years he'd been with me, every night when he woke up in his dreams, he'd think about...
Just this realization made Chi Yuan feel as if his heart was being grasped, and even breathing felt tiring.
But why? It was obvious that the person she loved was not him.
The man just turned around expressionlessly: "Follow me."
He always turned a blind eye to her ridicule.
Like punching cotton, Chi Yuan took a deep breath and followed, but when he passed Ye Ranran, he seemed to be tripped by something.
She subconsciously grabbed something beside her, but was pulled away by a strong force.
"ah!"
The person who screamed was Ye Ranran.
Chi Yuan supported himself on the ground with one hand and pressed the other hand on the woman's collarbone, looking like... he was strangling her throat.
"Sister Chi, you...you let me go." Ye Ranran's eyes widened, and fear gradually appeared in her eyes: "I can't breathe."
At that moment, Chi Yuan understood everything.
But before she could get up, she was pushed away violently, and it seemed that the back of her head hit something. That was not a force a woman could have.
A familiar fragrance penetrated into the tip of the nose. It was the chamomile-scented shower gel that Qi Wang often used.
He pushed himself away and helped up the frightened Ye Ranran.
"How is it? Are you hurt?"
Ye Ranran moved her ankles, frowning slightly: "It's a small matter, I can handle it myself."
In the lounge, she was the only one who seemed superfluous.
Chi Yuan wanted to laugh. Maybe she shouldn't have humiliated herself today.
She sat up straight and tried to stand up on her own when she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, as if it were bruised.
And the person who started it all was currently receiving care from her husband.
Chi Yuan endured the pain and stood up. She almost gave up and wanted to leave here immediately.
"It's okay, Awang. I fell down accidentally. Miss Chi was just trying to help me up."
What a thoughtful remark.
Chi Yuan had just taken two steps when a man's almost cold command sounded behind him.
"Stop and apologize to Ranran."
She turned around suddenly, her face full of disbelief, but it turned into a sarcastic smile in an instant.
"Qi Wang, you still don't admit it right now."
"Apologize to her? Dream on!"
Chi Yuan didn't look at the man's expression again, and walked out of the lounge despite the pain all over his body.
Why bother coming here? Knowing I'll be humiliated.
After leaving the lounge, Chi Yuan quickened his pace.
The corridor floor tiles are covered with plush pads, so they won’t make too much noise even if you walk quickly.
Finally, she rushed out of the company gate. The midday sun was too dazzling.
Chi Yuan suddenly stopped.
She looked back at the company building.
Inside the building, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and it would not have any impact whether she was there or not.
Chi Yuan suddenly couldn't move to leave.
Now that you've come here and been tricked, are you willing to just leave like this?
The anger and injustice seemed less unbearable.
Chi Yuan got on the elevator again.
When she reached the top floor, she happened to meet Ye Ranran.
Ye Ranran was holding a stack of documents in her hands, with a confident smile on her lips, but she froze for a moment when she saw Chi Yuan.
"Miss Chi, you have such perseverance, you will succeed in everything you do."
As they passed by, Ye Ranran lowered her voice, obviously mocking her for overestimating her own abilities.
Chi Yuan ignored him and walked straight to the office.
The door was ajar, and the people inside made no sound.
She was about to knock on the door, but her hand stopped mid-air.
What else is there for her to hesitate about at this moment?
Before her hand could fall, the door opened automatically from the inside.
Qi Wang had been standing behind the door without him knowing when.
Only then did Chi Yuan notice that the man was almost a head taller than her, and they were so close that she had to look up at him.
"Come in."
The man adjusted his collar casually, his tone sounding a little impatient.
He turned back to his desk, and when she didn't move, his voice grew even colder: "My patience is limited."
Chi Yuan walked in and closed the door, and was even more confused about what the man was thinking.
He seemed to know that he would come back.
The office was very quiet, and they seemed to be waiting for the other to speak.
Qi Wang just processed the documents in an orderly manner, occasionally replying to work messages on the computer. It seemed that as long as she didn't speak, he could continue to waste time with her.
Chi Yuan stared at the man in front of the desk, as if he had made some kind of decision.
"Mr. Qi, I want to talk to you again about the land auction."
Just saying this took a lot of her determination.
But the man didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly: "Well, you continue."
Go on...you think you're giving him a report?!
Chi Yuan clenched his fists, trying hard to control the anger surging in his chest.
"I hope you'll drop the bid."
When I really expressed my needs, I felt relieved.
Chi Yuan continued, "The manor was left by the ancestors of the Chi family and cannot be passed on to others. Mr. Qi, this is my only request. I hope you will consider our past relationship as husband and wife..."
“Bang!”
Before he could finish his words, the man suddenly slammed a document onto the table.
Qi Wang walked around the desk and came in front of her, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes full of mockery: "Miss Chi, you still haven't learned how to beg for help."
"You...don't go too far." Chi Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I've been doing everything you asked for the past half month. Don't you think I'm even qualified to negotiate with you on an equal footing?"
Obviously, Qi Wang was not going to be nice to her.
I don’t know what else is waiting for me.
"Equality? Miss Chi will finally say this word one day." Qi Wang leaned against the corner of the table and said with interest: "If it's equality, you should have something worthwhile to exchange with me. Otherwise, should I give up a piece of land worth countless dollars just because of your explanation?"
Exchange, and exchange again.
Of course she knew about equal exchange, but what else could she offer now?
"I... don't know what to exchange with you."
Chi Yuan's fingers were almost tangled together: "Or is there something Mr. Qi wants from me?"
She subconsciously lowered her head and did not see the turbulent look that flashed across the man's eyes.
Black leather shoes come into view.
"look up."
Chi Yuan was stunned and didn't move.
He always seemed to like forcing her to look up.
Qi Wang chuckled, but upon closer listening, there was something evil hidden in that smile.
The next second, slender fingers reached out to her neck.
"Miss Chi is willing to give me everything I want?"
