In Rome, the blooming roses spread all the way from the door to the palace-like villa, dazzling the eyes. When the breeze blows, the sweet fragrance is refreshing.
In the magnificently decorated reception room, the atmosphere was silent, and only the rustling sound of the pen tip rolling on the paper made people feel the passage of time.
Swish!
After signing the last word, Si Lijue stopped writing and looked up at the man opposite him. There was an unfathomable darkness in his deep eyes.
Sitting across from him was a frail young man, his face pale, his hair brittle and gray, his skin devoid of luster. He seemed to have no strength left in him, even for something as simple as signing a document. He gave the impression of someone suffering from a terminal illness, on the verge of death.
But even so, it cannot conceal his beauty, yes, beauty, the kind of beauty that combines the beauty of a boy with a feminine look. His three-dimensional facial features make his face as delicate as a porcelain doll, and his pair of light blue eyes are clearer than the purest sapphire.
No one could have imagined that such a person was actually the boss behind Hongye Winery and the leader of the Alpha Organization!
Finally, the man finished signing, put down his pen, covered his mouth and coughed violently.
Lin Qing behind him quickly gave him a pill and took his handkerchief.
Si Lijue noticed that the pure white handkerchief seemed to be stained with blood, which was bright red, and he couldn't help but frowned.
The man made a gesture, and Lin Qing understood. He put the contract in front of him away and extended his hand to Si Lijue, saying, "Mr. Si, my master has not recovered from an old illness. I hope you can forgive me for any shortcomings. This time, I will tell Mr. Si on behalf of my master that we have a pleasant cooperation."
Si Lijue's eyes flashed with a faint light. He stood up, shook his hand, and said calmly, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
The man nodded, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, a bit sad.
Si Lijue pursed his lips almost imperceptibly, and the light in his eyes became even darker.
Lin Qing glanced sideways at the man and spoke again, "Actually, my master has long admired Young Master Lu's talent and hoped to get a custom-made song and lyrics from him. I just didn't expect... I'm so sorry I didn't get to meet Young Master Lu this time. I hope Mr. Si can help give Young Master Lu his regards. If there's a chance, I hope we can meet him in person."
He even customized the lyrics and music for me. Because of his words, Lu Jingyi missed Qin Zheyuan's movie premiere and was blacklisted.
If Lu Jingyi knew about this, even if he wrote something, he would write a death dance and ask him to wish him a speedy ascension to heaven!
Si Lijue nodded, "I will definitely bring it."
"Hey, there's no need to rush to see idols. There are plenty of opportunities anyway. I'm relieved now that you can work together, and it won't be a waste of my time to act as a go-between." Suddenly, a crisp female voice sounded, and it made people notice the beautiful woman in a complicated dress sitting in the other corner of the round table.
She held her face in her hands, looked at Si Lijue with a smile, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Mr. Si, don't forget the favor you promised me~"
Si Lijue's face suddenly turned even colder. He deliberately ignored her and said coldly with a stern face, "Since Mr. King is not feeling well, we won't bother you anymore. We can talk again someday when we have the chance. Maybe we can have more topics to talk about."
"Definitely... cough cough cough." King wanted to say something, but he started coughing violently again as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs. Lin Qing hurriedly helped him to calm down.
After coughing, King's complexion became even worse, and he didn't even have the strength to speak. It was still Lin Qing who saw the guests off for him.
After sending Si Lijue back, Lin Qing looked at the beautiful woman who had just spoken and asked respectfully, "Miss Su, would you like to stay for lunch, or should I have someone escort you back?"
"No more eating." Su Li waved her hand. "I have an appointment with Mr. Si. Tell Wenren to get more rest. I'll come visit him another day."
After saying that, she chased out with her dress in hand, chattering non-stop around Si Lijue, and even forcibly put her arm around his, leaning in his arms like a little bird, smiling sweetly.
Si Lijue's face was as dark as ink, and he raised his hand impatiently to push her away.
However, Su Li took the opportunity to whisper in Si Lijue's ear, "Mr. Si, if you want to leave safely, you'd better cooperate with me."
Si Lijue's face turned even darker, and even the aura around him turned colder.
Su Li didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "Mr. Si, you are destroying the bridge after crossing the river. It is very difficult for me to do this~"
"No one asked you to do this!"
"But I've been asked to ensure your safety."
Si Lijue's eyes darkened, "Who?"
"Secret~" Li said playfully, rolling her tongue. She pushed him into the car while he wasn't paying attention, then gestured to the driver, "Drive."
In the reception room at that time, the man who had just been so weak as if he could die at any time stood in front of the window, squinting his eyes and staring at the car carrying Si Lijue driving out of the manor. His handsome face hidden behind the curtains was obscure and unclear.
Behind him, Lin Qing asked in confusion, "Master, are you just going to let them go like this?"
"Su Li is with them." King said in a calm tone, hitting the nail on the head.
Mentioning Su Li, Lin Qing's eyes showed a little more fear. He paused and asked, "But how do I explain this to my cousin?"
"Let him figure it out on his own."
"yes."
…
Su Li didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she had safely sent him to the airport. She put on a brighter and more sincere smile, whistled and teased him, "Mr. Si, I really can't bear to leave you!"
She looked like a little hooligan at this moment.
Si Lijue's temples bulged a few times, and he suppressed his urge to ask seriously, "Why are you helping me?"
