Hearing the call from behind, Lin Qingtong slowly turned around and saw Shen Tinghe striding towards her.
The black suit trousers hugged Shen Tinghe's long legs, exuding a domineering and cold aura.
When he came to her, Lin Qingtong smiled faintly and asked him.
"Mr. Shen, what do you want by stopping me?"
Shen Tinghe stared intently at Lin Qingtong with his dark pupils, a half-smile playing on his thin lips.
"The resort is very nice."
Lin Qingtong was taken aback and asked in return, "So? What are you trying to say?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Tinghe's smile remained faint.
"What I mean is you can stay here a little longer."
"I'll treat you to everything."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong became even more puzzled, wondering why Shen Tinghe had suddenly become like this.
The next moment, Lin Qingtong thought of something and asked a question.
"Could something have happened at home?"
Shen Tinghe's gaze darkened, and the pressure around him noticeably decreased.
"Can't I invite you to stay at the resort for a while?"
His gaze was fixed on Lin Qingtong, filled with gloom and danger.
Shen Tinghe said this simply because he wanted to spend more time with Lin Qingtong.
He didn't know why he said those words, but he just called out to Lin Qingtong and said them.
In that instant, Shen Tinghe felt like he wasn't himself anymore.
The moment Lin Qingtong met Shen Tinghe's gaze, she flashed an incredibly bright smile.
"Mr. Shen, I hope you can understand that we are both adults and there is no need to get entangled in some things."
Shen Tinghe's eyes were dark and gloomy. "I'm not the poor boy I used to be."
What he meant was that he had now regained his identity as the powerful and influential Ninth Master Shen.
But none of this made any difference to Lin Qingtong.
Lin Qingtong's smile grew even brighter, her red lips slightly parted.
“Mr. Shen, whether you are Shen Tinghe or that poor boy from before, for me, people from the past should not be attached to. Besides, this was just a mistake, and you know that better than anyone else.”
"If you continue to press this matter, don't blame me for holding you accountable for concealing your identity and lurking by my side. Speaking of which, why would someone as dignified as Master Shen Jiu apply for a lowly assistant position at our company?"
Lin Qingtong immediately became aggressive, her eyes filled with a sharp light.
Beneath the carved beams and painted rafters of the corridor, Shen Tinghe's tall figure exuded an oppressive aura, his face gloomy.
"You yourself said that what happened back then was a mistake, so why should I explain it to you?"
"Don't worry, since you've said it yourself, we're both adults, so I won't press the issue any further."
His tone was extremely cold, as if a chill could be transmitted through the air.
Lin Qingtong took a few steps back, creating some distance, and slowly spoke.
"In that case, we'll meet again someday."
At this moment, Lin Qingtong didn't think she would have any further interaction with Shen Tinghe, since Jiang Hao had already agreed to the divorce.
There will be no further interaction between her and Shen Tinghe in terms of work.
In that instant, a look of composure appeared on Lin Qingtong's face. Everything was in the past, wasn't it?
But Shen Tinghe didn't think that way, his eyes coldly fixed on Lin Qingtong's departing figure.
Lin Qingtong thinks she can simply draw a line? Impossible.
He will gradually win Lin Qingtong back, and then cruelly abandon her.
Lin Qingtong was completely unaware of all this, because she had just finished packing her things and was about to leave when Huo Xingyu stopped her at the entrance of the villa.
She looked at the SUV in front of her and asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"
Huo Xingyu took off his sunglasses with a dashing air, revealing a bright smile on his handsome face.
Where are you going? I'll take you.
He was about to take the suitcase from Lin Qingtong's hands when Lin Qingtong dodged and refused.
"No need, I can handle it myself."
Huo Xingyu is being so nice to me for no reason; he must have something in mind. I'm here to discuss cooperation, not to get entangled with Huo Xingyu.
But Huo Xingyu was clearly thick-skinned, and he approached with a beaming smile.
"This mountain road is very difficult to walk on. If you have to give me some money, I'll take you out. Is that alright?"
Lin Qingtong stared quietly at Huo Xingyu in front of her, and still refused outright.
"I'm sorry, I don't need it. And Mr. Huo Xingyu, you're both adults, there's no need to be so explicit about refusing something."
After saying that, Lin Qingtong pushed her suitcase and was about to leave around the SUV when Huo Xingyu shamelessly chased after her again.
"It's so hot, it must be hard for you to ride in a tricycle. Let me give you a ride for a bit."
Just as Lin Qingtong was about to refuse, a deep, mellow voice rang out from the side.
"Huo Xingyu, she has already rejected you, why do you keep pestering her?"
Shen Tinghe strode over to Lin Qingtong's side and cast a warning glance at Huo Xingyu.
"The car is ready, I'll take you home."
Huo Xingyu quickly added, "Take my car, I guarantee you'll be delivered safely."
Their gazes collided in mid-air, instantly igniting a burst of intense flames.
This commotion attracted a lot of attention.
He Jiaxin, standing in the crowd, snorted coldly and spoke.
"I told you, Lin Qingtong is no good person at all. She's only been here a few days and she's already hooked up with Huo Xingyu and this Shen Tinghe. She's like someone who's eating what's in her bowl while eyeing what's in the pot."
Upon hearing this, many people cast unfriendly glances at Lin Qingtong.
