Chapter Nine: Born Rebellious



"Keep up with me."

Shen Tinghe stared at Lin Qingtong with sharp, cold eyes, his aura surging.

He still couldn't escape!

After putting down her coffee, Lin Qingtong left the company with Shen Tinghe.

The two walked out of the company lobby one after the other, sunlight filtering through the treetops and casting dappled shadows.

Lin Qingtong followed behind with her eyes downcast. Just as she was feeling uneasy, she suddenly bumped into a hard and strong chest, and even the tip of her nose hurt a little.

She rubbed her nose and looked up, her almond-shaped eyes filled with a cold, questioning gaze.

"Be careful where you walk."

Lin Qingtong had gotten used to her previous attitude towards Shen Tinghe and hadn't had time to change it yet.

Shen Tinghe turned his head with one hand in his pocket, a black suit jacket draped over his arm, his tone indifferent.

"Lin Qingtong, don't forget, you're my assistant now."

Lin Qingtong then realized what was happening and tried to comfort herself by pressing her back teeth together.

Don't be angry, don't be angry. Just consider it a way to earn some money for being a loser!

She flashed a radiant smile and answered in a sweet voice.

"I understand, Mr. Shen. I'm just not used to it yet."

A bespectacled man passing by lingered his lewd and evil gaze on Lin Qingtong's exposed legs, and even took out his phone to take pictures.

Lin Qingtong usually dislikes the heat and loves to wear cool and sexy clothes. Today, she wore a black satin mini-skirt with spaghetti straps, which was both sexy and dignified.

As she walks, her long legs sway in different arcs, dazzling onlookers.

Shen Tinghe's eyes darkened, and he threw the suit jacket draped over his arm at Lin Qingtong, speaking coldly.

"Take it."

Lin Qingtong could only purse her lips and obediently hug the oversized suit jacket to her chest, which fell right down to her knees, partially concealing her long legs.

Shen Tinghe continued walking forward, while Lin Qingtong turned around coldly, pressed the shutter button on the bespectacled man, and then made a contemptuous gesture.

"Delete the photos, or you'll be publicly shamed online!"

The bespectacled man was so frightened that he deleted the photos and slunk away.

Lin Qingtong tossed her hair and smiled wildly, like a red rose blooming freely, beautiful yet sharp.

By the time Lin Qingtong caught up with Shen Tinghe, he was already in his car, his long legs casually spread out, and he was handling emails on a tablet.

Lin Qingtong skillfully got into the car, put her suit away, then opened the car refrigerator, transferred two yuan to Shen Tinghe, and took out a bottle of mineral water.

She twisted it, but couldn't open it, so she habitually handed it to Shen Tinghe.

"Open it."

Without even looking up, Shen Tinghe easily unscrewed the bottle cap with his long, slender fingers and handed it to Lin Qingtong.

Just as Lin Qingtong was about to reach out to take it, he realized what was happening, pulled his wrist back, and drank the mineral water himself.

Lin Qingtong's hand grasped at empty air, and she blinked blankly at Shen Tinghe.

"This is water I paid for."

Shen Tinghe turned his head to look at Lin Qingtong, his eyes deep and unfathomable as he asked a question.

"Whose car are you in?"

Lin Qingtong was speechless and could only admit defeat by taking another bottle of water. This time, she preferred to bite it with her teeth rather than ask Shen Tinghe for help again.

After finishing her water, Lin Qingtong sat obediently to one side, secretly glancing at the tablet in Shen Tinghe's hand, her eyes sparkling.

She had heard of the Teng Hai project, but it was worth hundreds of millions of yuan. She wanted to get involved, but her company was not qualified to bid at all.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tinghe participated in the bidding.

She looked at some of the publicly available information, and when she got to the key parts, Lin Qingtong looked away and took out her phone to pass the time.

Lin Qingtong opened the match-3 game she hadn't played in years and sat alone in a corner, thoroughly enjoying herself.

In recent years, she has worked herself to the bone while also managing her social interactions; she simply hasn't had time to play any games.

Now that they're getting a divorce anyway, she's happy to have some free time and is starting to relax and enjoy life.

The cheerful sound effects of the match-3 game echoed in the car. Shen Tinghe couldn't help but look at Lin Qingtong. Suddenly, he reached out and snatched the phone, speaking with a dark expression.

"It's working hours now!"

"Go and find all the data about Tenghai Real Estate in recent years."

Before Lin Qingtong could react, Shen Tinghe tossed her a laptop.

Lin Qingtong took a deep breath, smiled helplessly, and turned on her computer.

Her slender, delicate fingers tapped incessantly on the keyboard. In just half an hour, she had collected information on Teng Hai Real Estate and sent it to Shen Tinghe.

She smiled confidently and raised her eyes: "I've sent it to you, take a look."

Shen Tinghe did not open the information, but slowly uttered a sentence.

"What I want is the sales volume and second-hand transaction volume of Teng Hai Real Estate over the past three years."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong felt an urge to kill Shen Tinghe.

He didn't say anything earlier, but waited until I was done before telling me. He must have been deliberately retaliating.

Now she can only endure it.

Lin Qingtong gritted her teeth and forced a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

Vehicles continued to zip along the street, finally stopping at a towering skyscraper, which was the Shen Group.

Lin Qingtong then followed Shen Tinghe into the Shen Group building and took the private elevator to the top floor.

The office is so large and bright that you could almost run in it.

Lin Qingtong's fingers traced across the two-meter-long rosewood table, and she couldn't help but click her tongue twice.

"Mr. Shen, how did you manage to stay in my little office?"

Shen Tinghe tossed his suit jacket onto the sofa and unbuttoned his shirt with one hand.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qingtong's heart tightened, and she hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

What are you doing!

Shen Tinghe lowered his eyes and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He slowly took off his white shirt, revealing his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Her long legs were encased in well-tailored suit trousers, making them appear straight and long.

Lin Qingtong was stunned, her ears burning, but she couldn't bear to look away, feeling both uneasy and secretly expectant.

She truly deserves the man she's set her sights on; he's just too alluring.

Shen Tinghe slowly raised his eyes, his direct and blatant gaze lingering on Lin Qingtong's bright face, and he leaned closer with a smirk.

Shen Tinghe stopped when the distance between them was only a few centimeters, his warm breath flowing between his lips and teeth.

"Do you want it again?"

These words immediately snapped Lin Qingtong out of her reverie. She quickly looked away, glancing at the French windows outside, and bit her lip lightly.

"I don't."

Shen Tinghe chuckled in her ear, leaning closer and his warm breath brushing against her earlobe.

Do you need me to prove it to you?

In that instant, Lin Qingtong recalled how she had teased him before, always making him prove himself to her.

Just thinking about that scene made Lin Qingtong's mouth go dry and her breathing become a little erratic.

She was born with a rebellious streak.

She slept with Shen Tinghe without hesitation after learning that Jiang Hao was cheating on her, because she was rebellious.

Now, she is unwilling to be controlled and dominated by Shen Tinghe, also because of her rebellious nature.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong reached out to hook Chen Tinghe's belt, her eyes sparkling with seductive charm as she leaned closer and smiled.

“Mr. Shen, I don’t need your proof, because I will verify it myself.”
