So, in terms of appearance alone, although Mr. Li is more than ten years older than Du Shuang, there is not much of a gap between the two.
The real divide lies in other areas, something both Du Shuang and Wei Changfeng are well aware of.
Even without an introduction, he could guess that someone of Mr. Li's age, status, and position couldn't possibly be a rich or eligible bachelor; he must already have a "legal wife" at home.
This is why Wei Changfeng was slightly surprised by Du Shuang's direct question. Since their relationship wasn't something that could be brought into the open, what was there to say about them being mismatched?
Seeing that Wei Changfeng did not answer the question, Du Shuang lowered her eyes and after a long while, said in a low voice, "You look down on me too, don't you?"
Wei Changfeng quickly denied it: "Du Shuang, what are you thinking? We've known each other for so many years."
Du Shuang looked up at him and asked, "You've heard about it before, haven't you? Isn't it common knowledge in the industry that I'm being kept by a sugar daddy?"
"Isn't it true that people in this industry love to gossip? Everyone gets talked about, so don't take it to heart," Wei Changfeng said vaguely, unsure how to respond.
Du Shuang lowered her head and smiled: "You know perfectly well that this isn't nonsense, it's the truth, you've even seen the person."
Wei Changfeng was silent for a minute, then said, "President Li seems to be a very nice person, and he's been very good to you too."
"He's a good person. The idea for what happened on Valentine's Day was suggested by his assistant. I couldn't have come up with such a complicated way to divert public attention on my own," Du Shuang said.
Wei Changfeng was somewhat surprised to hear this. At the time, Zhao Hui and other people in the company also speculated that perhaps a mastermind behind the scenes had provided that solution.
But he didn't know Mr. Li at all. Why would the other party help him when they were complete strangers at the time?
As if hearing his doubts, Du Shuang continued, "I mentioned you, Xiao Mei, Liu Liang, and others to President Li before, saying that you are practically my only friends in the industry. I casually mentioned that you were in big trouble those few days, and I didn't expect him to help me find a solution."
Wei Changfeng then realized what was going on and, while grateful to Du Shuang, also deeply thanked President Li, with whom he had no prior relationship: "Please convey my gratitude to him if you have the chance. I didn't know he had helped me so much when we were having dinner together. I really should have thanked him properly then."
Du Shuang's voice was soft, as if she were talking to herself: "It's okay, he doesn't care about these things. I wish he were one of those rich villainous bosses depicted in TV dramas."
"Why?" Wei Changfeng was a little puzzled. Why didn't he feel glad that he was a good person, but instead said that it would be better if he were a villain?
Du Shuang raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and looked at Wei Changfeng as she replied, "In that case, our relationship would be purely one of sugar daddy/sugar baby, and I wouldn't like him anymore."
