Chapter 61 It’s Lu Yan, right?
“Hmm—”
Li Qingqing really wanted to ask him how a person with a blocked mouth could speak.
She pushed him away forcefully: "I want to add another condition to the original one."
"You say." The man did not stop what he was doing.
"...If I gather enough money within this year, you have to let me go early."
The man paused in his kiss, and only raised his head to look at her after a few seconds.
"What do you mean?" His eyes suddenly turned cold.
Li Qingqing turned her head away, not looking at him. "I said that as long as I can collect enough money this year, you have to let me go early." She repeated it again.
Lu Yan thought about what she said and felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars meant nothing to him. All he wanted was for Li Qingqing to stay with him a little longer. How could he possibly agree to something that would do him no good but only harm?
"What if I don't agree?" He turned her face and forced her to look at him.
The girl looked straight at him, and there seemed to be a flash of determination in her eyes.
"If you don't agree, I won't cooperate with you anytime from now on. If you want to make both of us lose, then go ahead and insist on your opinion."
Li Qingqing was very determined and didn't give him any chance to refuse.
Lu Yan gritted his teeth, feeling threatened in some way, which made him very uncomfortable.
He stood up and let her go, picked up his coat and went straight back to his room.
I didn't say yes, nor did I say no.
…
The next day, Li Qingqing went to work as usual.
When I was baking egg tarts this morning, I accidentally burnt a group of them.
Wei Qingming was very angry when he saw her absent-minded look.
"Li Qingqing, what's wrong with you? Is this your work attitude?"
Li Qingqing immediately apologized and started making new egg tarts.
She had just been thinking about how Jiang Xueyao humiliated her in public last night. This incident left a deep mark in her heart. She had deliberately chosen to forget it, but she still couldn't help but think of it.
Li Qingqing had a very bad experience with the so-called upper class society. She now just wanted to quickly escape from the people and things in that circle and live her own life in peace and stability.
Be it Jiang Xueyao, Mu Xingyi, or Lu Yan, she didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore. She just wanted to return to her own world.
She poured out the burnt egg tarts, cleaned the baking tray, and continued to work seriously.
Until noon, all the other employees went out to eat, and only Li Qingqing and Wei Qingming stayed in the store.
"Come and have a rest, stop being so busy." Wei Qingming shouted to Li Qingqing while sitting on a chair outside.
"I'm not tired yet. Wait until I finish making this cake." A voice came from the kitchen.
There were no customers in the store at noon. Wei Qingming put down the reservation order in his hand, got up and walked to the kitchen.
He leaned against the door frame, folded his hands and looked at Li Qingqing: "Is there something on your mind?" Wei Qingming asked directly.
Li Qingqing paused, "No...no."
She thought Wei Qingming was still blaming her for burnt the egg tarts.
"Would you like to tell me about it?"
Wei Qingming seemed not to hear her answer and continued chatting with her at his own pace.
Li Qingqing looked up at him and found that he was staring at her. His black eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, made her inexplicably think of Lu Yan.
"Really not, I just didn't get enough rest yesterday, so my mind is a little unclear."
Li Qingqing simply answered his question and didn't want to reveal too much about her private life to her boss.
Wei Qingming was not discouraged. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Are you still interested in talking to me about that matter you mentioned before?"
"What happened before?" Li Qingqing looked at him puzzledly.
"It's about you saying that you have to commit yourself to someone now." Wei Qingming reminded her.
Li Qingqing suddenly remembered that she actually regretted it after she told Wei Qingming about this matter. Fortunately, he did not ask her for more details at that time. She thought the matter was over, but she did not expect him to suddenly ask about it again.
Li Qingqing stood there a little awkwardly, her eyes flickering, not knowing how to start.
After a long silence, she slowly said, "This seems to be my...private matter. Does Boss Wei really need to ask?"
She really didn't want to discuss such a shameful thing with others, especially since such a sad thing happened last night.
Wei Qingming smiled lightly and did not feel embarrassed because she refused the topic.
"Since you don't want to say it, let me guess, okay?" Wei Qingming continued, his expression looking like he was playing some interesting game.
"ah……"
Li Qingqing didn't understand what he meant for a moment. What was there to guess about such a thing? What was he trying to guess?
Guess how much she sold herself for? Or guess how good her sponsor is to her?
Li Qingqing thought this kind of talk was boring and disrespectful to her, but Wei Qingming was her boss after all, so she couldn't refuse.
Just a slightly awkward smile, "What do you want to guess?"
Wei Qingming always had a smile on his face, like a naughty cat that caught a mouse to tease.
"I can guess who your financial backer is, do you believe it?"
“…”
Li Qingqing was so shocked that she almost dropped the cake mold in her hand.
Sponsor? He said he could guess who her sponsor was? How was that possible? He didn't even know him...
Li Qingqing was feeling very nervous at this moment, not sure if Wei Qingming was joking with her or if he really knew something.
She didn't know why, but Wei Qingming sometimes gave her the impression of being a bit crazy...
She pretended to be calm, betting that Wei Qingming was bluffing her, "Oh? Then guess what."
She looked into his eyes intently, trying to read more information from them.
Wei Qingming curled his lips slightly and smiled slyly, "It's Lu Yan, right?"
