The moment the knock sounded, Lin Qingtong grabbed Shen Tinghe's shoulder, her brows furrowed in tension, her eyes seeming to say something.
—Don't move.
Shen Tinghe cooperated perfectly, not moving again, but staring at her small face with a smile on his lips.
The knocking on the door continued for a while, then stopped, followed by a soft murmur.
"Strange, why is nobody here?"
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Lin Qingtong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head, her almond-shaped eyes glistening as she stared at Shen Tinghe, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Shen Tinghe hugged her tightly, leaned down and rested his head on her shoulder, and laughed as well.
After they finished laughing, Lin Qingtong playfully pushed Shen Tinghe, regaining her composure and straightening her clothes.
"Stop fooling around, it's working hours now."
Shen Tinghe leaned back there lazily, his black suit trousers slightly disheveled, carrying a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
He smiled contentedly, picked up a bank card with his long, slender fingers, and slowly handed it to Lin Qingtong.
"Take it."
Upon seeing the bank card, Lin Qingtong's originally bright and beautiful eyes instantly turned cold.
What do you take me for?
Shen Tinghe smiled faintly and slowly uttered a sentence.
"This is a bonus for the Teng Hai real estate project, 500,000 yuan. I am the president of Shen's Group, after all. I would not deduct a bonus from an assistant."
He paused, leaned forward slightly, and his narrow eyes were full of a mocking smile.
"If you don't believe me, you can check with the finance department."
Seeing that Shen Tinghe had said so, Lin Qingtong naturally had no doubts and happily accepted the bank card.
Lin Qingtong put the bank card away, her gaze lingering on Shen Tinghe's cool and handsome face, then sweeping over his thin lips.
She leaned forward and gave him a light kiss; the metallic scent filled the air, adding a touch of frenzied lust.
This face was absolutely stunning; its presence before her eyes stirred a burning, itchy feeling in her heart, making her unable to resist.
Since we've already taken advantage of the situation, why not take advantage of it now? When will it be our turn?
Lin Qingtong smiled with satisfaction and was about to leave when Shen Tinghe pulled her back, covered her lips with his, and ended it all with a deep kiss.
When Lin Qingtong walked out of the office, she was once again fully made up and looked radiant.
She was walking down the corridor in high heels when she suddenly bumped into Qiao Jing, who had just come out of the restroom.
Qiao Jing blinked in surprise and couldn't wait to pull her to the stairwell to ask her more questions.
“Miss Lin, I think your design is much better, much prettier than Lin Jiaorui’s.”
"If it weren't for the strength and courage Su Qian gave me, I definitely wouldn't have entered the design industry. It's just a pity that my faith in her has completely collapsed. I might as well change careers in the future."
When she said her last words, Qiao Jing was filled with resentment and sadness.
Lin Qingtong gazed at Qiao Jing in front of her, then suddenly smiled faintly and spoke.
"What if I said that I am Su Qian?"
At first, Lin Qingtong didn't want to tell anyone, but seeing how much Qiao Jing liked Su Qian...
If Lin Jiaorui were allowed to continue like this, she might destroy the most beautiful thing in Qiao Jing's heart.
Su Qian's identity is insignificant, but the faith and power she brings to others must not be destroyed.
Beams of sunlight streamed through the windows into the dimly lit stairwell, where dust filled the air.
Upon hearing Lin Qingtong's words, Qiao Jing was stunned for a long time, gasped, and took a step back.
Finally, Qiao Jing leaned over the door of the stairwell, her eyes fixed on Lin Qingtong, and didn't say a word for a long time.
After a long while, Qiao Jing tentatively spoke.
"Then let me ask you, what does Su Qian always write in the corner of the design drafts?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong smiled calmly and replied.
"It's not in a corner, but I habitually draw light and shadow on the window, and also draw a small yellow flower in the lower left corner of the window."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing stood there stunned for a long time, then covered her face and stomped her feet frantically, and kept spinning in circles in the stairwell.
"Ah—ah—"
"Miss Lin, you are actually Su Qian! You got all the details right."
Seeing Qiao Jing so excited, Lin Qingtong smiled, but also felt a little helpless.
"I'm happy that you like it."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing finally calmed down, put her hands on her hips, and was about to rush out to stand up for Lin Qingtong.
"No, I'm going to explain things to you. You're clearly Su Qian!"
Lin Qingtong raised her hand to stop Qiao Jing, and smiled gently.
"It's alright. What's stolen will eventually be returned to its rightful owner. She'll be exposed sooner or later."
"On the contrary, I hope you can keep this a secret for me, which is also to protect yourself."
Qiao Jing cupped her face in her hands, responding with the joy of a puppy wagging its tail.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone."
In the afternoon, Teng Hai Real Estate held another meeting for its project.
Lin Qingtong sat quietly in the corner, the bite wound on her red lips becoming more and more obvious, like a beauty mark on a beautiful woman's lips, so beautiful it was breathtaking.
Lin Jiaorui noticed the wound on Lin Qingtong's red lips and pretended to care about her.
"Sister, it's just drawing a design draft, why are you so anxious and upset that your mouth is cracked?"
Lin Qingtong slowly flipped through the documents in her hand and directly retorted.
"This was bitten by a man. Are you jealous? Or I can introduce you to a few more that I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Lin Jiaorui looked at Lin Qingtong's stunningly beautiful face and was so angry that her teeth itched.
Back when she was still in school, almost every boy she liked liked Lin Qingtong.
Because she has a face that is so beautiful it's almost otherworldly, every smile and frown of hers is highly sought after.
But it doesn't matter, I will definitely take everything from Lin Qingtong and crush her face under my feet.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Jiaorui's eyes as she feigned surprise and said, "My brother-in-law isn't even here, how could you say such a thing..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Tinghe, who was sitting in the center of the conference room, suddenly interrupted her.
Do you two have any other ideas about my arrangements?
Lin Qingtong slowly raised her eyes and looked up, meeting those deep eyes.
She shook her head and replied, "No objection."
Shen Tinghe's deep gaze fell on Lin Qingtong, and he gave the order directly.
"No objection, then go and get me a glass of water."
Lin Qingtong put down what she was holding and walked out of the conference room.
Shen Tinghe brushed his long, slender fingers across his thin lips, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. The wound on Lin Qingtong's red lips was caused by him.
And there just happens to be one inside my thin lips as well.
Thinking of this, a half-smile appeared on Shen Tinghe's lips.
The next second, Lin Qingtong's clear and melodious voice rang out beside him.
"Mr. Shen, please have some water."
Shen Tinghe didn't even look at it, he just picked up the glass and fed it to his mouth.
As soon as he took a sip, Shen Tinghe shuddered, his brows furrowed, and his deep, cold gaze shot towards Lin Qingtong.
This woman is really petty.
